MR. MIGUEL DE GRANDY TO PRESENT THE ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OVERSIGHT BOARD [SEE AGENDA ITEM NO. 1(K)1]
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Sosa recognized and thanked Mr. Miguel De Grandy, Chair of the Miami-Dade Domestic Violence Oversight Board (DVOB), and DVOB members for their continued dedication and hard work.
Mr. De Grandy provided a brief summary of the DVOB 2020 annual report and recommendations and noted that while the report was delivered to the Board of County Commissioners (Board/BCC) in June 2020, due to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there was never a formal presentation made. He reviewed the DVOB�s accomplishments to date and advised the Board members that several of the recommendations had been implemented since the generation of the 2020 report. Mr. De Grandy stated the report served as a starting point for a more comprehensive intimate partner study previously approved by the Board, and announced that the County had entered into an interlocal agreement with the University of Central Florida�s Institute for Social and Behavioral Sciences to conduct the aforementioned study, which he anticipated would be completed in one (1) year.
Mr. De Grandy spoke about the importance of including Miami Beach municipalities to the food and beverage �penny� tax, and noted the construction and development costs of the shelter opened in South Miami Dade had been completely funded by said tax. He reviewed the DVOB�s efforts to create a Trust Fund and the DVOB�s recommendation to amend the attendance and quorum requirements for meetings.
Mr. De Grandy concluded his presentation by requesting the Board urge the Federal government to eliminate the cap on U Nonimmigrant Status Visas (U Visas) and to create a uniformed State certification system.
Commissioner Sosa voiced her support for including the Miami Beach municipalities to the �penny� tax and emphasized the Board�s continued commitment to working with the DVOB.

REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE HEARD AS PROVIDED IN RULE 6.06
|
| |
| |
REPORT:
Chairman Diaz opened the reasonable opportunity for the public to be heard, and the following persons appeared before the Board:
1. Councilmember Bryan Calvo, City of Hialeah, 501 Palm Avenue, Miami, Florida, voiced his support for Agenda Items 4B and 11A4. He spoke about his efforts to introduce legislation in the City of Hialeah, which would require 60 days� notice to tenants for rent increases exceeding ten percent (10%), and urged the Board members to adopt similar legislation to extend the protection to Countywide.
2. Mayor Dana Goldman, City of Sunny Isles Beach, 18070 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, appeared in support of Agenda Items 3B1 and 11A18.
3. Mr. Darryl Holsendolph, Chairman, Miami-Dade Small Business Advisory Committee and Task Force, 1176 NW 163rd Drive, Miami, Florida, spoke in support of Agenda Items 3B3 and 8F7.
4. Ms. Audrey Aradanas, 1651 SW 75 Avenue Road, Miami, Florida, appeared in support of Agenda Item 7B and spoke about the benefits of the item.
5. Ms. Makeba Gassant, 20609 NW 14th Place, Miami, Florida, spoke in support of Agenda Item 3B6. She thanked the Board members for their continued support for small business owners and spoke about the importance of prioritizing local vendors.
6. Mr. Daniel Guerra, 5681 SW 58th Place, South Miami, Florida, appeared in support of Agenda Item 7B.
7. Mayor Manny Cid, Town of Miami Lakes, 6601 Main Street, Miami Lakes, Florida, addressed the Board with regards to Agenda Item 11A4 and spoke about his efforts to resolve the NW 154th Street Bridge issue. He noted that he had met with Mayor Bovo, City of Hialeah, and together they developed a framework, which was presented, and rejected by the County. Mayor Cid stated his intent to begin conflict resolution proceedings to protect the residents of Miami Lakes, and pointed out that the City of Hialeah would be unable to convey the property to the Florida Department of Transportation to open the bridge even if they wanted to because of the existing interlocal agreement between the two municipalities. He noted the interlocal agreement was forwarded to the County Attorney�s Office and clarified the agreement was a County requirement for the annexation process. Mayor Cid requested the item be tabled to allow the parties to continue discussions.
8. Mayor Esteban Bovo, City of Hialeah, 501 Palm Avenue, Hialeah, Florida, spoke on Agenda Item 11A4. He indicated his commitment to resolving the bridge issue and requested the item be deferred for two (2) weeks to provide all the stakeholders an opportunity to meet and discuss a possible resolution. Mayor Bovo stated he believed he had a viable solution that would allow the opening of the bridge at 170th Street, and facilitate development along 154th Street.
Chairman Diaz announced that today�s (3/1) Board of County Commissioners (Board/BCC) meeting was being recorded despite technical issues with the web-cameras.
9. Councilwoman Marilyn Ruano, Town of Miami Lakes, 6601 Main Street, Miami Lakes, Florida, requested Agenda Item 11A4 be deferred. She contended opening 154th Street would result in additional gridlock and spoke about the overdevelopment of the area.
10. Ms. Bonnie Cintron, 14770 Lewis Road, Miami Lakes, Florida, spoke in relation to Agenda Item 11A4 and urged the Board to consider opening access ramps from both sides. She contended this alternative solution would solve the bridge issue and allow access to Interstate 75 (I75) without cut-through traffic.
11. Councilman Tony Fernandez, Town of Miami Lakes, 6601 Main Street, Miami Lakes, Florida, requested Agenda Item 11A4 be deferred to allow all stakeholders to meet to discuss the issue.
12. Vice Mayor Jeffrey Rodriguez, Town of Miami Lakes, 6601 Main Street, Miami Lakes, Florida, echoed the request made by his fellow Council members to defer the item. He argued opening 154th Street would not resolve the issue or help the City of Hialeah residents.
13. Ms. Sharon Frazier-Stephens, 6324 NE 1st Place, Miami, Florida, spoke in favor of Agenda Item 11A5 and the importance of community engagement in local government.
14. Mr. Brian Morera, 15853 NW 91st Court, Miami, Florida, spoke in opposition of Agenda Item 11A4 citing concerns regarding the structural integrity of the bridge. He noted over 3000 residents signed a petition objecting to the opening of the bridge and urged the Board to keep the bridge closed.
15. Mr. Angel Luis Vazquez, 17961 NW 86th Avenue, Miami, Florida, spoke in opposition of Agenda Item 11A4.
16. Mr. Eddie Santiesteban, 3466 W. 90th Street, Miami, Florida, appeared in support of Agenda Item 11A4 and spoke about the importance of opening the bridge from an emergency, health and safety perspective.
17. Mr. Steven Herzberg, 16745 NW 54th Court, Miami Lakes, Florida, spoke in opposition of Agenda Item 11A4. He urged the Board to consider a long term regional approach to address the connectivity issues.
18. Mr. Ray Garcia, 6796 Main Street, Miami Lakes, Florida, appeared in opposition of Agenda Item 11A4. He requested the item be deferred to engage stakeholders and experts to develop a long-term regional approach.
19. Mr. Angelo Garcia, 16441 NW 77th Place, Miami Lakes, Florida, spoke against Agenda Item 11A4 and echoed the concerns raised by previous speakers regarding the opening of the 154th bridge.
20. Ms. Danielle Blake, Miami Realtors, 700 S. Royal Poinciana Boulevard, Miami, Florida, appeared in support of Agenda Item 7B and the creation of a master database for condominiums, cooperatives and homeowners� associations.
21. Mr. Rudy Blanco, 14406 NW 88th Avenue, Miami Lakes, Florida, spoke against Agenda Item 11A4.
22. Mr. Gerald Reed Jr., Model City Community Advisory Committee (CAC), 1261 NW 59th Street, Miami, Florida, appeared in support of Agenda Item 11A5 and emphasized the importance of encouraging community engagement and input. He spoke about the important work done by the Model City CAC and noted the entity served as an advocate for the community.
There being no other persons registered or appearing to speak, Chairman Diaz closed the reasonable opportunity to be heard.

RESOLUTION EXPANDING THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA OF THE COUNTY SEAT OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY BEYOND THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
|
Public Hearing opened and closed, and forwarded to BCC for 2nd Public Hearing on 3/15/2022

Mover: Joe A. Martinez
Seconder: Eileen Higgins
Vote: 10 - 2
No: Gilbert, III , Regalado
Absent, OCB: Souto
|

REPORT:
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed resolution into the record and explained the foregoing item required two (2) public hearings pursuant to Florida Statute 138.12. She advised the Board members that today�s public hearing could be opened and closed, with the option to forward the item to the March 15, 2022 Board of County Commissioners (BCC/Board) meeting for the second public hearing.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III opened the public hearing and there being no persons registered or appearing to speak, closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Regalado spoke about the County �seat law� and noted only three (3) counties had relocated their county �seats� within the last 100 years, with two (2) of the moves due to natural disasters. She contended the law was not archaic and inquired whether the County Attorney�s Office had reviewed legal opinion on the issue.
Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal confirmed that the legal opinion cited by Commissioner Regalado had been reviewed.
Commissioner Regalado reviewed the circumstances related to the ethical opinion and noted the most recent process for changing a county seat was based on changes in population. She inquired if the County Attorney�s office was aware of any recent county seat changes and the impact of the change.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal clarified that the intent of the foregoing item was to expand the geographic boundaries of the county seat to be larger than the geographic boundaries of the City of Miami. He assured the Board members that the item would not change the county seat from the City of Miami but would allow county constitutional offices to be located anywhere in the expanded geographical border.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal advised that Broward County had expanded its seat boundaries in 1996, which was supported by a Florida Supreme Court 1982 opinion; and reported he did not have any information regarding the impact of the change.
Commissioner Regalado stated she believed the change would impact County business and voiced her concerns about expanding the boundaries before the constitutional offices were created.
Chairman Diaz recognized the concerns raised by Commissioner Regalado and reiterated the item only sought to expand the geographic boundaries to provide more opportunity for the constitutional offices to relocate to other areas in the City.
Commissioner Martinez concurred with the explanation provided by Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal regarding the intent of the item. He pointed out the Board of County Commissioners (BCC/Board) had no jurisdiction over the budget or �powers� granted to constitutional offices since the roles and functions of the offices were established and defined by the State constitution. Commissioner Martinez noted the administration would be tasked with negotiating arrangements with the new constitutional officers following the County-wide election, and reiterated the item simply provided the incoming officers more options by expanding the county seat.
Chairman Diaz clarified that there was no question regarding the �powers� of the constitutional offices but whether the County�s assets should be made available to the new officers for use.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III contended expansion of the county seat was in fact a change to the seat and questioned the necessity of the item since the administration would ultimately be responsible for negotiating arrangements with the new officers. He stated that while he was supportive of the intent of the item, he believed it was premature and a more detailed discussion was needed regarding asset distribution.
Commissioner Higgins indicated her support for the item and noted that her commission district would be the most impacted if the county seat was relocated from Downtown Miami. She spoke about her efforts to create a master plan to redevelop the downtown area to include more affordable housing options and utilize county-owned properties to benefit residents. Commissioner Higgins stated more discussion was needed to fully understand the effect of the change to government business in Downtown Miami and the resulting impact to the Downtown communities and neighborhoods.
Commissioner Regalado reiterated her concerns regarding the item and concurred with comments made by Vice Chairman Gilbert III about the negotiation process. She spoke about the fiscal impact of the item and the Board�s role in interpreting and codifying the Florida Statute as it relates to the functions and operations of constitutional offices.
Commissioner Garcia agreed that more discussions were needed.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Martinez and Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal regarding the process of setting and approving the Property Appraiser�s Office budget.
Discussion ensued between Commissioners Martinez and Regalado regarding comments made by Commissioner Regalado at the February 9, 2022 Chairman�s� Council of Policy (CCOP) meeting in which she alleged Commissioner Martinez rejected an invitation to schedule a sunshine meeting.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal reminded the Board members that the item required two (2) public hearings, therefore the motion before the Board was to advance the item to the March 15, 2022 BCC meeting for the second public hearing.
Hearing no other questions or comments, the Board members voted to advance the foregoing item to the March 15, 2022 BCC meeting for the second public hearing.
Chairman Diaz recessed today�s (3/1) Board of County Commissioners (BCC) meeting until 1:30 p.m.

DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING THE CONE OF SILENCE
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Chairman Diaz introduced the foregoing discussion item. He stated that while he recognized the importance of the cone of silence in protecting the integrity of the procurement process, it sometimes complicated matters and made it difficult to get information about items of interest.
Mr. Jose Arrojo, Executive Director, Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust, acknowledged the communication challenges resulting from the cone of silence and explained that there were three (3) different mechanisms available to elected officials to get information about ongoing procurements. He noted the information could be accessed by:
~ Scheduling a Sunshine meeting;
~ Submitting a written request for the information; and
~ Oral request.
Mr. Arrojo explained a copy of the written request should be furnished to the Clerk of the Board; and noted the Internal Services Department (ISD) documented all oral requests. He stated that while he recognized the Board of County Commissioners� (Board) frustrations with the process, staff�s hesitation to provide information many times stemmed from fear of violating the cone of silence. Mr. Arrojo assured the Board members that once the requests were not of a substantive nature or favored one bidder over another, the mechanisms in place were effective. He pointed out the cone of silence policy was enacted by the Board and his office merely provided an interpretation of administrative order.
Chairman Diaz reiterated the Board�s frustrations were mirrored and amplified by the public and/or applicants� frustrations.
Commissioner Higgins spoke about the merits of the cone of silence and thanked Mr. Arrojo for his guidance through the years. She noted that while she recognized the benefits of policy, she was more concerned about the lengthy procurement process timeline. Commissioner Higgins contended the delay in awarding contracts were oftentimes perceived by the public as transparency issues.
Commissioner Regalado noted the unsolicited Rickenbacker procurement matter emphasized some of the challenges encountered at Sunshine meetings. She commented on the limitations of the Sunshine process and requested clarification about what types of discussions were allowed at Sunshine meetings.
Mr. Arrojo explained that the Rickenbacker procurement matter was unique in that the bid documents prohibited municipalities from communicating. He pointed out the new courthouse project also contained similar restrictions and confirmed that there were limitations as to what could be discussed at Sunshine meetings.
Commissioner Monestime echoed the comments and concerns made by Commissioner Higgins. He stated his intent to meet with Mr. Jimmy Morales, Office of the Mayor, Chief Operations Officer, to get a better understanding about the intent of the administrative order.
Mr. Arrojo clarified the intent of the cone of silence was to ensure the subject matter experts provided an untainted and well informed decision regarding procurement matters without political and/or external interference.
Chairman Diaz noted Mr. Morales, sponsored the administrative order when he served as a commissioner, and thanked Mr. Arrojo for providing insight on the matter.

REPORT:
Earlier in the meeting, County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the titles of the foregoing proposed ordinances (Agenda Items 7A through 7H) into the record.
Commissioner Heyman stated she could not support the item as presented because she was concerned about the impact of the requirements on smaller, community based homeowners� associations. She contended the process could be perceived as burdensome and discourage community participation and engagement.
Commissioner Regalado indicated her support for the item and suggested providing an �opt-out� option for smaller organizations. She recognized the merits of the item and pointed out that it would provide more transparency.
Commissioner Higgins clarified the intent of the item was not to create more bureaucracy but to improve transparency. She opined the smaller homeowners� associations (HOA) advocating for improved conditions within the community should convert to neighborhood associations.
Commissioner Martinez inquired about the status of the reserve budget waiver requirement issue and asked whether the Board of County Commissioners (Board/BCC) decision on this item would affect the HOA or condominium reserves.
Commissioner Regalado stated she was aware of four (4) State legislative items related to condominium reserves.
Commissioner Garcia reported that there was not much progress with State legislation related to HOAs, and noted the condominium reserve bill also did not advance. He assured his colleagues that the Board�s action on the foregoing item would not impact the reserve budget in any way.
Commissioner Martinez voiced his concerns about the fiscal impact on residents should reserve assessments be implemented.
Chairman Diaz shared Commissioner Martinez�s concerns about the fiscal impact and economic burden on residents due to increased HOA fees and assessments. He expressed disbelief that the State had not worked on the issues and requested he be added as a co-sponsor.
Commissioner Monestime expressed concerns about the fiscal impact of the item on residents. He inquired about the revenue generated in the event the proposed fee was approved and suggested the County absorb the administrative fee if possible.
Commissioner Garcia estimated the fee would generate approximately $600,000 to offset the website�s maintenance and operational costs. He explained the fee structure ($50.00) was created based on the information provided by the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) and advised his colleagues that larger developments (25 or more units), would be required to pay $1.25 more per unit.
Addressing Commissioner Heyman�s concerns, Commissioner Garcia noted that the item applied the State�s HOA definition and assured his colleagues that smaller type HOAs advocating for community improvements would be excluded.
Commissioner Heyman stated that while she was appreciative of the explanation provided by Commissioner Garcia, she was apprehensive about the legislative interpretation of the item and reiterated her concerns were mainly with regards to small community/social organizations.
Commissioner Garcia reiterated the intent of the item and stated he would amend the language if any of the social organizations were negatively impacted. He emphasized the State�s definition would be used to classify HOAs.
In light of Commissioner Garcia�s assurances, Commissioner Heyman indicated her support for the item.
Commissioner Garcia thanked his colleagues for their support. He stated that while he recognized the item did not resolve all issues, it was a step in the right direction for improved transparency.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III requested he be added as a co-sponsor and voiced his support for the item.
Miami-Dade Mayor Levine Cava acknowledged the merits of the item and stated she was hopeful the item would be replicated throughout the State. She commended Commissioner Garcia for his dedication and commitment to creating a more transparent process.
Commissioner McGhee concurred that the foregoing item could be used as a model for State-wide legislation.
Commissioners Cohen Higgins and Regalado requested they be added as co-sponsors.
Hearing no further questions or comments the Board proceeded to vote on the item as presented.

REPORT:
Earlier in the meeting, County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the titles of the foregoing proposed ordinances (Agenda Items 7A through 7H) into the record.
Commissioner Heyman noted the foregoing proposed ordinance was drafted in response to the Surfside tragedy and announced the item would be amended as follows:
~ To clarify with respect to rental units, (Typewritten Page 11, Section 8-5(f) (2) (v)), that the provisions of the ordinance would apply to new leases and/or leases renewed, after the effective date of the ordinance;
~ To remove the words �by the building official� on Typewritten Page 6, Section 2, Subsection (iv); and
~ To include language on Typewritten Page 10, Subsection (iii) (b), to read, �at the County�s discretion, appeal of said notice may be heard.�
Chairman Diaz asked whether there was an appeal process in place for buildings condemned by the County. He noted the costs associated with making repairs to condemned buildings could become overwhelming for residents.
Commissioner Heyman concurred with Chairman Diaz that a proper appellate process was needed to protect residents� rights and requested staff review the existing process in place.
Ms. Lourdes Gomez, Director, Miami-Dade Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER), explained the foregoing item outlined the appeal process as it pertained to relocation costs.
Chairman Diaz requested clarification regarding the existing appellate process for orders to vacate.
Ms. Gomez clarified that the foregoing item did not amend the existing order to vacate process or the authority of the building official to vacate. She noted the existing process allowed residents to take legal action.
Chairman Diaz expressed concerns about the existing order to vacate process, and stated he believed the process needed to be improved.
Commissioner Heyman reviewed the intent and scope of the foregoing item. She concurred that the order to vacate component of the County Code was a separate issue that needed to be reviewed.
Commissioner Hardemon questioned the necessity of the item and voiced his concerns about placing undue burden on building owners.
Commissioner Heyman reiterated that the foregoing item was drafted in response to the Surfside tragedy and the immediate increase in the number of condemned buildings and dislocated residents. She noted when residents become dislocated because of a building being declared unsafe; the County�s Homeless Trust absorbed the rehousing costs.
Commissioner Heyman reported the foregoing item sought to establish a timeframe (3 months) for the term of the assistance provided by the Homeless Trust and create a mechanism to recover the costs from the building owners.
Commissioner Regalado stated she believed adoption of the foregoing item by the Board would actually activate existing legislation in the Miami Beach. She concurred with the comments made by Commissioner Heyman regarding the financial burden placed on the Homeless Trust and spoke about the importance of residents exhausting all options available before seeking assistance from the Trust. Commissioner Regalado advised her colleagues that she was currently working with Commissioner Monestime on legislation related to the tenant bill of rights.
Commissioner Heyman emphasized that the County should not automatically be responsible for paying for relocation assistance, and welcomed improvements to the tenants� bill of rights.
Hearing no further questions or comments the Board proceeded to vote on the item, as amended.

REPORT:
Earlier in the meeting, County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the titles of the foregoing proposed ordinances (Agenda Items 7A through 7H) into the record.
Commissioner McGhee reviewed the intent of the foregoing item and noted there were two (2) amendments to be read into the record, which would address concerns raised at the Committee level. He explained the exclusionary language included in the County�s Code created a monopoly, which allowed the resale of for-hire limousine licenses at exorbitant prices, which the foregoing item sought to remedy.
Commissioner Monestime stated he could not support the item as presented because he believed it would create an open entry system that would be detrimental to existing license owners.
Commissioner Sosa noted the foregoing item was discussed at length on the Committee level and indicated her support for the item with the amendments being proffered by Commissioner McGhee.
Commissioner Regalado voiced her concerns about the �effective� date.
Responding to Commissioners Regalado and McGhee�s question as to whether the department objected to a gradual roll out period, Mr. Raul Gonzalez, Special Projects Administrator, Passenger Transportation Regulatory Division, explained the item�s language would prevent such an implementation.
Commissioner Regalado asked whether the new requirements could be done in phases with notice provided to existing owners.
Mr. Gonzalez advised that the �effective� date was not addressed at the Transportation, Mobility and Planning Committee (TMPC) meeting, and clarified the concerns related to the physical place of business and reciprocity would be resolved with the amendments proffered by Commissioner McGhee.
Discussion ensued between Commissioners Regalado and McGhee about the issues raised at the February 8, 2022 TMPC meeting.
Commissioner McGhee inquired about the cost of for-hire limousines.
Mr. Gonzalez advised the Board members that the County currently charged an annual registration fee of $350.00 for the licenses. He noted the licenses were being resold at a much higher price due to the existing moratorium.
Commissioner McGhee reiterated the intent of the item, and stated he believed the amendments he proffered would address the physical place of business and reciprocity concerns raised at Committee level by Commissioner Heyman.
Commissioner Regalado stated despite her concerns about the implementation period, she supported the item and suggested staff provide a phased in �effective� date period.
Commissioner Monestime recommended amending the item to provide a moratorium on the resale of the licenses, and requested clarification as to why the license cap was implemented to begin with.
Mr. Gonzalez stated the cap was set by the Board in 2000 with a growth mechanism contemplated up to 2009.
Commissioner Sosa reiterated her support for the item. She acknowledged the concerns raised by her colleagues regarding the �effective� date and the impact on existing license holders, but argued residents affected by the County�s septic/sewer conversion requirement were not provided the same consideration with regards to the implementation date and financial burden.
Chairman Diaz commented on the impact of ride-share services on the taxi industry and spoke about the need to protect medallion/license owners� investments.
Responding to Chairman Diaz�s question about the number of for-hire limousine licenses currently in circulation, value and the amount of licenses distributed through the lottery system, Mr. Gonzalez advised the Board members that there were currently 626 registered medallions and estimated the market value for the licenses was approximately $8000.
Mr. Gonzalez advised the Board members that the last lottery was done in 2009 and further explained that the Board approved the sale of 42 licenses per year from 2006 through 2009.
Commissioner Monestime estimated only 400 out of the 626 licenses were currently being utilized due to the economic climate.
Mr. Gonzalez clarified that 471 licenses out of the 626 for-hire limousine licenses were active and pointed out that the County charged $350 in licensing fees.
Chairman Diaz requested clarification regarding the intent of the item as it pertained to the number of licenses that would be made available for sale. He expressed concerns about the influx of licenses on the market and the financial impact to current license holders.
Mr. Gonzalez indicated the foregoing item did not specify a cap.
Discussion ensued between Chairman Diaz and Mr. Gonzalez as to possible reasons the medallions were not being fully used.
Commissioner McGhee acknowledged the concerns raised by his colleagues and stated the intent of the item was to cure the problems created in 2009 when the lottery for the for-hire limousine licenses ended. He pointed out the County only charged $350 to issue the license while it was being resold on the private market for $8000.
Discussion ensued between Commissioners McGhee and Monestime about Commissioner Monestime�s proffered amendment to impose a 2-year moratorium on license resales.
Commissioner Monestime clarified that he supported the issuance of new licenses by the County and
Commissioner McGhee questioned whether the moratorium could be done administratively.
Mr. Eulois Cleckley, Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW), stated the department would follow the Board�s directions related to limitations on the transfer of medallions.
Chairman Diaz indicated his support for a license resale moratorium.
Commissioner Hardemon recognized the merits of the item and spoke about the secondary sale and value of medallions. He presented two different options for protecting future license buyers and existing owners, which included entailed limiting the transfer of existing license, and/or imposing a moratorium on the sale of new licenses.
Commissioner Hardemon argued either one of the solutions would help bring balance to the industry, and emphasized the County�s role in the for-hire limousine industry was to protect the public by ensuring the medallions were issued to responsible drivers.
Discussion ensued between Chairman Diaz and Mr. Gonzalez about the County�s transfer of license process.
Commissioner Diaz suggested limiting the number of licenses being offered for sale.
Commissioner Hardemon asked whether the medallions were owned en masse by a specific entity/individual, or independently and singularly owned. He clarified his comments about the options available to the Board with regards to implementing a moratorium on new sales or limiting transfer of existing medallions. Commissioner Hardemon argued demand of a product created the supply and noted the for-hire limousines were in high demand in the County.
Mr. Gonzalez stated there was a mix of individual, small-operator and large-operator owners.
Chairman Diaz indicated his support for the item but noted he believed a large supply of the licenses would drive the value/demand down.
Responding to Commissioner McGhee�s request for clarification regarding limiting transferability, Assistant County Attorney Bruce Libhaber explained the item could be amended to provide for a delayed implementation date. He further noted that the Board could not limit transferability at this time or implement a moratorium on the resale of licenses because it surpassed the scope of the item.
Commissioner McGhee inquired about the department processing time and asked if there were any other licenses with restrictions on the number of medallions offered for sale by the County. He concurred with the concerns raised by Commissioner Monestime and stated he was open to amending the item to change the effective date of the ordinance to six (6) months. Commissioner McGhee requested the County Attorney�s Office begin working on legislation, which would provide for a one (1) year moratorium on the resale of the medallions.
Mr. Gonzalez advised the Board members that the license processing time was approximately one (1) week and noted taxicab licenses were limited.
Assistant County Attorney Dale Clarke noted the foregoing item would be amended as follows:
~ To delete language in Section 31-603(B) providing for reciprocity with Monroe County, Broward County and Palm Beach County; and to provide that notwithstanding the eligibility provisions of Section 31-602(D) (6) of the code, an applicant shall not be eligible for a luxury limousine sedan for hire limousine license if he/she/it does not have a physical place of business located in Miami-Dade County;
~ To add the word �reciprocity� to the title of Subparagraph 31-602(B).
Assistant County Attorney Libhaber stated the item would also be amended to provide for the lift on all limits on the number of limousine licenses to go into effect six (6) months from the effective date of the ordinance.
Hearing no further questions or comments the Board proceeded to vote on the item, as amended.

REPORT:
In light of the prime sponsor�s (Commissioner Souto) absence from today�s (3/1) meeting, Commissioner Sosa requested the foregoing item be deferred to the March 15, 2022 Board of County Commissioners (BCC/Board) meeting. She noted that she sponsored the original legislation referenced in the foregoing item (Ordinance No. 16-24) and a subsequent item granting an additional nine (9) month extension. Commissioner Sosa contended that auto repair shop businesses had been provided more time than private residences to comply with code violations and reported out of the 200 businesses originally found to be in violation of the County Code, only 26 had yet to comply.
Chairman Diaz stated that he believed the item was intended to provide an extension for the remaining 26 businesses to meet compliance.
There being no further comments or objections, the foregoing item was deferred to the March 15, 2022 BCC meeting.

REPORT:
Following the lunch recess, Chairman Diaz reconvened the BCC meeting at 1:39 p.m., and the following Board members were present at roll call: Chairman Diaz, Vice Chairman Gilbert III, Commissioners Cohen Higgins, Heyman, Higgins, McGhee, Regalado and Sosa.
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the foregoing proposed resolution into the record.
Commissioner Higgins spoke about impending State legislature that would preempt the County from including living and responsible wage requirements in County contracts, if adopted. She stated her intent to proffer a friendly amendment and requested the County Attorney�s Office read the amendment into the record.
Assistant County Attorney Cynji Lee noted the foregoing proposed resolution would be amended to add language to the enacting clauses found in Section 2, Typewritten Page 11, to read, �without limiting the foregoing, the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee is directed to negotiate economic terms related to conditions of employment, such as wage rates and benefits for workers at or/on any such vertical cargo solution.�
Commissioner Regalado accepted the proffered amendment.
Commissioner Sosa spoke about the merits of the item and its impact on the Miami International Airport (MIA). She stated that she was aware there had been problems with the unsolicited proposal process, and noted she had requested the County Attorney�s Office to draft legislation, which would incorporate the Inspector General�s (IG) concerns regarding timely submission of materials to the IG office.
Responding to Commissioner Sosa�s question as to whether the project�s educational component included adult vocational workforce training partnerships, Mr. Jimmy Morales, Chief Operations Officer, Office of the Mayor, advised the Board members that the administration received a letter from the Miami-Dade School Board (MDSB) acknowledging that Vertically Integrated Cargo Community (VICC) had made contact about conducting training.
Mr. Ralph Cutie, Director and Chief Executive Officer, Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) confirmed that the department received notification VICC would collaborate with MDSB to provide vocational training.
Commissioner Sosa indicated her support for the item. She emphasized the importance of the educational component and the need to expedite the project.
Commissioner Monestime voiced his support for the item and the proffered amendment. He concurred with Commissioner Sosa that the project should be expedited, and urged the developer to harness local resources by employing residents and utilizing local vendors.
Chairman Diaz requested he be added as a co-sponsor for the item and spoke about his experience with the trade community. He expressed his enthusiasm about the project and stated VICC would help distinguish and enhance MIA�s facilities in the cargo industry. Chairman Diaz indicated his support for expediting the project and reiterated to the developer that local residents and vendors should be used at all levels of the project�s development.
Commissioner Hardemon echoed the comments made by Chairman Diaz and Commissioner Monestime about engaging the local community and emphasized the importance of ensuring local participation in all aspects of the project. He suggested the agreement with the vendor (CCR USA Airport Management, Inc.) include a clause ensuring no less than 60 percent (60%) local participation, with a minimum 25 percent (25%) requirement for locally headquartered businesses. Commissioner Hardemon requested the developer provide more comprehensive information about the project and selected vendors to the Airports and Economic Development Committee (AEDC).
Vice Chairman Gilbert III concurred with the comments made by his colleagues regarding local participation and requested he be added as a co-sponsor for the item.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava thanked the Board for their continued support and stated she was amenable to Commissioner Hardemon�s recommendations.
Commissioner Regalado thanked her colleagues for their support and spoke about her efforts to develop a comprehensive item. She noted cargo was crucial to the County�s economy and commended the developer�s willingness to engage MDSB and local businesses. Commissioner Regalado acknowledged the concerns voiced by Commissioner Hardemon about the need for more specificity regarding the use of local subcontractors, and pointed out that his request was consistent with the Board�s priorities. She stated the locally headquartered requirement was more complex and welcomed further discussions when the item returned to the Board for consideration.
Commissioner Regalado recognized the workforce component and spoke about the project�s advanced technological capabilities. She noted VICC would be equipped with technology that would allow for women and differently abled individuals to be employed. Commissioner Regalado requested the item be considered by the AEDC before the full Board.
Mr. Cutie assured the Board members that local participation and education would be prioritized during the negotiations. He also added that all cargo partners would be included in the process.
Discussion ensued among Chairman Diaz,
Commissioners Regalado and Hardemon, and Assistant County Attorney Lee regarding the item being scheduled before the AEDC and the process for waiving the item onto the Board�s agenda.
Commissioner Hardemon emphasized the importance of the AEDC vetting the item.
Chairman Diaz indicated his support for committee review and stated he would waive the item to the Board�s agenda following the AEDC�s consideration of the item. He reiterated the importance of local participation and his support for the item.
Assistant County Attorney Lee clarified that the Board was voting to adopt the foregoing resolution, as amended to add language to the enacting clauses found in Section 2, Typewritten Page 11, to read, �without limiting the foregoing, the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee is directed to negotiate economic terms related to conditions of employment, such as wage rates and benefits for workers at or/on any such vertical cargo solution.�
Hearing no further questions or comments the Board proceeded to vote on the item, as amended.
Chairman Diaz requested Commissioners McGhee and Sosa be added as co-sponsors for the item.

REPORT:

Discussion ensued between Commissioner Regalado and Mr. Alex Munoz, Director, Internal Services Department (ISD), about the timeframe for completing the cost analysis to determine whether the process was effective.
Mr. Alex Munoz advised the Board members that staff would analyze and compare the two groups, as well as perform �spot market checks� on an ongoing basis as the project progressed. He concluded that six (6) months was an adequate period for compiling the purchase information.

She requested the report be provided to the Board of County Commissioners (Board/BCC) in six (6) month intervals.

REPORT:
Commissioner Regalado stated that she pulled the item to proffer an amendment and requested the County Attorney�s Office to read the amendment into the record.
Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal noted that the proffered amendment would amend the foregoing item to: Direct the County Mayor or County Mayor�s Designee to identify all vehicles purchased under delegated authority that may be used by the County and then assigned, leased or transferred to a County constitutional officer commencing January 7, 2025. For each such vehicle, the County Mayor or County Mayor�s Designee is directed to: (1) Include provisions in any purchase or finance agreement to permit the assignment, lease or transfer of the vehicle and the assumption of any outstanding finance payments to be made on the vehicle to the appropriate County constitutional officer; and (2) Create a plan for the disposition of such vehicle and the associated finance payments in the event the County no longer requires the use of such vehicle and the County constitutional officer refuses to accept the assets and the associated finance obligations.
The County Mayor is further directed to prepare and submit a report to the Board upon the purchase of such vehicles detailing the provisions of any agreements permitting the transfer of the vehicles and any associated finance payments obligations, and recommending further action of this Board if a County constitutional officer refuses to accept the asset and associated finance obligations.
Commissioner Regalado reviewed the intent of the proffered amendment.
Commissioner Heyman clarified the foregoing item would approve the purchase of essential first responder vehicles and other light and heavy fleet vehicles for the County. She expressed concerns regarding the proffered amendment and suggested
Commissioner Regalado draft separate legislation to address the assignment, lease or transfer of the vehicles and the assumption of any outstanding finance payments by the County constitutional officers. Commissioner Heyman stated while she recognized the merits of the proffered amendments, she could not support the item if amended.
Commissioner Regalado noted that she worked closely with the County�s Internal Services Department (ISD) to draft the proffered amendment and requested input from staff.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal explained the amendment required the administration to plan and account for any vehicles anticipated to be transferred to a County constitutional officer, and to include a transferability option in any purchase or lease agreement. He noted the County constitutional officer would be required to assume liability for the asset and in the event they chose not to accept responsibility, the administration would be required to develop a disposal plan if the vehicle was no longer needed.
Commissioner Martinez and Sosa stated they believed the proffered amendment was premature and should be addressed in a separate legislation.
Commissioner Regalado contended the issues raised in the amendment needed to be resolved prior to the purchasing and/or leasing of any new vehicles to provide the County options in the event the County constitutional officers chose not to accept responsibility for the assets.
Commissioner Higgins concurred that the disposition of the assets, including but not limited to vehicles, should be done as a separate comprehensive item. She also asked whether a transition procurement or ownership item could be introduced at a later date to deal with the transfer of assets to the County constitutional officers.
Responding to Commissioner Higgins� question whether the vehicles would be purchased immediately, Mr. Alex Munoz, Director, ISD, stated that while the item approved the purchase of the vehicles, the vehicles would be purchased over the course of several months.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal advised the Board members that the Board had the authority to set a County-wide policy to address County-wide issues. He noted the proffered amendment addressed the long-term leases that may extend past 2025.
Commissioner Higgins pointed out that the contract was not limited to the purchase of only police vehicles, and questioned the timeframe for the purchase of the police vehicles.
Mr. Munoz explained that negotiations for the purchase and/or lease would begin ten (10) days following the veto period of the item. He reported the vehicles would not be delivered until the end of the year.
Commissioner Higgins contended there was no urgency in addressing the transfer of assets to the County constitutional officers at this time and reiterated her belief that a separate and more comprehensive item was needed.
Chairman Diaz requested clarification regarding the procurement and allocation process for purchasing the vehicles for the police department.
Mr. Alex Alfonso, Division Director, Fleet Management for ISD, confirmed that in the event the purchase of the police vehicles was not approved today, the funds would be used to purchase vehicles for other County departments. He noted the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic severely disrupted all industries and supply chains. Mr. Alfonso cautioned a delay in ordering the vehicles could result in missing crucial production deadlines and further delay the delivery of the vehicles.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Higgins and Mr. Alfonso regarding the timeframe for placing the orders.
Mr. Alfonso stated the purchase process would begin within the next 30 days.
Commissioner Higgins asked whether a protection clause could be included in the new purchase and/or lease agreements, or if the agreements could be modified retroactively to protect the police department.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal stated provisions for future transferability could be included during the negotiations process. He clarified that the proffered amendment was directory in nature and would require the inclusion of such provisions for the purchase.
Chairman Diaz commented on the impact of supply chain shortage on the car industry.
Commissioner Regalado reiterated her concerns regarding the necessity of the proffered agreement.
Commissioner Heyman stated that while she recognized the intent of the proffered amendment she was concerned about the specificity of the amendment language. She pointed out that the County Attorney�s Office has already confirmed that the administration could negotiate the transferability of the assets as part of the negotiation process.
Discussion ensued among Commissioner Heyman, Mr. Edward Marquez, Chief Financial Officer, Office of the Mayor, and Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal regarding the administration�s authority to include transferability provisions in the new purchase and/or lease agreements with the financing agencies, and the legal sufficiency of such agreements.
Commissioner Heyman concluded that the transferability issue did not need to be addressed on an individual contract basis and reiterated her belief that a separate item was needed.
Mr. Jimmy Morales, Chief Operations Officer, Office of the Mayor, pointed out that whether the assets remained with the County or were transferred to County constitutional offices, the funds for the purchase came from taxpayers.
Commissioner Regalado reiterated her concerns but stated she would draft a separate, more comprehensive item, as suggested by her colleagues.
Chairman Diaz requested all be done to ensure the vehicles were purchased without delay.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava assured the Board members that the administration would begin working on a transition plan for County assets.
There being no further comments or objections, the Board members proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.

REPORT:
Commissioner Martinez voiced his concerns about the repeated increase to the contract amount and reviewed the contract increases over the years paid to the various consultants. He estimated $80 million had been paid to date in consultant fees for a contract, which originally stated the contract amount would not exceed $11 million.
Commissioner Regalado requested clarification regarding the increases cited by Commissioner Martinez.
Commissioner Martinez pointed out that all the information and amounts he read into the record could be found on Page 3 of the Mayor�s memorandum dated March 1, 2022.
Commissioner Sosa clarified the item was not requesting additional funds but an extension of one (1) year.
Mr. Eulois Cleckley, Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) confirmed that the foregoing item contained language regarding the amendments to the original contract. He clarified that approximately one percent (1%) or $70 million had been spent in total, to date, out of the overall $7 billion value associated with the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan. Mr. Cleckley assured the Board members that the item was not seeking an increase to the contract amount but was requesting an extension of the expenditure authority.
Commissioner Higgins pointed out that former County Commissioner Bovo requested the contracts specified in the item be reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners (Board/BCC) on an annual basis. She noted she was currently working with staff so that next year�s review of the item would contain more long-term authorization.
Responding to Commissioner Martinez�s question regarding the contract amounts he read into the record, Mr. Cleckley confirmed the numbers highlighted were accurate.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

REPORT:
Commissioner Garcia thanked the residents for appearing and voicing their concerns. He commented on the divide created due to the issues at hand and spoke about the importance of opening the 170th Street bridge. Commissioner Garcia pointed out that the Town of Miami Lakes had opportunities to acquire and annex the area west of Interstate 75 (I75), and have access to I75, which did not occur. He stated that while he did not believe opening the bridge on NW 154th Street would alleviate the traffic congestion in the area, a comprehensive approach to resolving the issues in the Miami Lakes area was needed. Commissioner Garcia noted that the Board of County Commissioners (Board/BCC) and the Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) had requested Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to perform a connectivity study for the affected areas, and contended the results of the study would provide the most comprehensive solution for the access issues to I75. He pointed out that both the City of Hialeah and the Town of Miami Lakes had requested the item be deferred to continue negotiations, and urged the Board to grant the requested deferral. He emphasized the Board�s goal was to bring relief to both areas through connectivity to I75 by opening the 170 bridge and either completely closing the 154th Street bridge or creating thresholds to be monitored by an independent third party.
Chairman Diaz spoke about the numerous studies and analyses that had been performed to help develop a plan for the area. He pointed out that at least two (2) of the reports recommended the opening of both bridges. Chairman Diaz addressed comments made by speakers questioning the structural integrity of the bridge and emphasized that engineers had determined the bridge was able to serve the weight requirements. He stated that while everyone agreed that the 170th bridge needed to be opened, he recognized the City of Hialeah and the Town of Miami Lakes still needed to resolve the issues related to the 154th Street bridge. Chairman Diaz reasoned the 154th Street bridge should be released by the State to facilitate the needs of both municipalities, and spoke about his efforts to explore the option of opening �slip ramps� for better access to the bridge.
Pursuant to Chairman Diaz�s request, Assistant County Attorney Annery Pulgar Alfonso announced the foregoing resolution would be amended to delete Section 3 of the enacting clauses of the resolution found on Typewritten Page 4, and to renumber the remaining sections and make conforming changes to the title of the resolution.
Responding to request for clarification regarding the proffered amendment, Assistant County Attorney Pulgar Alfonso read Section 3 of the item into the record and explained the entire section would be deleted.
Commissioner Garcia suggested the item be deferred to allow the municipalities additional time to resolve the issue.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III, indicated his intent to support the will of the Board. He pointed out that in many cases a regional solution involved building bridges as part of larger systems and involved compromise. Vice Chairman Gilbert III requested the TPO be included in future meetings with the cities.
Commissioner Sosa indicated her support for the item, as amended. She noted that she encountered similar resident objections to the opening of the 79th and 82nd Avenue bridges located in her commission district because of misinformation, and pointed out once the bridges were opened the community was pleased with the results. Commissioner Sosa spoke about creating an equitable solution for all involved and stated more dialogue was needed about connectivity. She indicated her intent to work with the County Attorney�s Office to draft legislation that would require a study be performed of all closed streets and bridges, and to analyze the effect of the closures on the surrounding communities.
Commissioner Sosa concluded by noting the Board�s decisions were based on expert recommendations and not political opinions.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Higgins and Assistant County Attorney Pulgar Alfonso regarding Section 2 of the item, which urged FDOT to open the 154th Street bridge. Assistant County Attorney Pulgar Alfonso noted the proffered amendment would delete Section 3 in its entirety.
Commissioner Higgins concurred with Commissioner Garcia that the item should be deferred to allow the municipalities time to meet. She stated that while she recognized the intent of the proffered amendment to advance the project, she believed more discussion should occur before any action was taken.
Chairman Diaz explained the intent of the urging to FDOT was to ensure authority of the 154th Street bridge was transferred to the County.
Assistant County Attorney Bruce Libhaber clarified that Chairman Diaz�s proffered amendment would also amend Section 2 of the item to urge FDOT to transfer authority of bridge to Miami-Dade County.
Following the explanations provided by Chairman Diaz and Assistant County Attorney Libhaber regarding the urging to FDOT, Commissioner Higgins stated she would support the item, as amended.
Mr. Jimmy Morales, Chief Operations Officer, Office of the Mayor, further clarified that ownership of the bridge was not in question.
Commissioner Martinez asked which agency currently had the authority to open the 154th Street bridge and argued the deletion of Section 3 was inconsequential if the State of Florida possessed the authority for the bridge.
Assistant County Attorney Pulgar Alfonso confirmed that the State of Florida had the authority to open the bridge and further explained that Section 3 of the item pertained to connecting the adjacent roads to the bridge. She advised that the County maintained traffic engineering and permitting jurisdiction of these connecting roads.
Assistant County Attorney Libhaber advised the Board members that in the event FDOT opened the bridge without the connections to local roadways, the bridge would lead to a dead-end.
Commissioner Martinez argued Section 2 of the item urged FDOT to �make any necessary improvements to the FDOT right-of-way to accomplish the opening of the bridge.� He acknowledged the complexity of the issue and indicated his support for deferring the item to allow the municipalities to meet.
Commissioner Martinez reiterated the deletion of Section 3 was inconsequential.
Commissioner Regalado requested clarification regarding the status of the litigation related to the County�s agreement with the Town of Miami Lakes regarding maintenance of the bridge, and whether the Board�s actions today (3/1) would affect the litigation.
Assistant County Attorney Libhaber clarified that the pending lawsuit only pertained to the 170th Street bridge. He explained that the road transfer agreement being litigated was not related to the 154th Street bridge. Assistant County Attorney Libhaber pointed out that maintenance of the road was not being disputed but rather what constituted �traffic engineering.�
Assistant County Attorney Libhaber advised the Board members that the County has maintained the position that the authority to open and/or close roads constitute �traffic engineering,� and as such this authority could not and/or was never transferred to the Town of Miami Lakes. He further stated that based on the County�s interpretation of �traffic engineering,� the right-of-way connections to the 170th Street bridge were not transferred therefore the County could proceed with the project. He assured the Board members that action on the foregoing item would not impact the litigation because the issues were unrelated.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Monestime and Assistant County Attorney Pulgar Alfonso regarding the State�s authority to open the bridge and whether a joint agreement by the impacted municipalities would impede the Board�s decision on opening of the 154th Street bridge.
Commissioner Monestime stated that while he recognized Chairman Diaz�s intent to move the item forward, he believed the municipalities� request for a deferral was reasonable and appropriate at this time.
Chairman Diaz emphasized the importance of the State transferring authority of the bridge to the County and open discussions about slip-ramps.
Commissioner Monestime suggested the item be further amended to provide the municipalities the option to present an alternative proposal to the Board for consideration.
Chairman Diaz accepted the proffered amendment.
Commissioner Higgins expressed her support for the foregoing item and pointed out that the municipalities were aware of the item on today�s (3/1) agenda. She spoke about the Board�s role and contended the bridge would increase connectivity and improve emergency response times.
Commissioner Garcia reiterated his request for the item to be deferred citing concerns about possible litigation.
Chairman Diaz voiced his frustrations regarding ongoing threats of litigation against the County. He cautioned the municipalities that the County would be hesitant to negotiate if any lawsuits were filed with relation to the 170th Avenue bridge. Chairman Diaz concurred that a deferral was needed to provide the parties time to attempt to resolve the matter. He requested staff begin the permitting process for the 170th Avenue bridge and moved to defer the foregoing resolution to the March 15, 2022 BCC meeting.
Commissioner Sosa commented on the fiscal impact of litigations on the public.
Commissioner Heyman apologized for her late arrival and asked whether she would be permitted to vote on the motion to defer in light of her absence from the Board�s discussion of the item.
Assistant County Attorney Libhaber confirmed that Commissioner Heyman was permitted to vote on the deferral, and further noted that she would have also been able to vote on the substantive matter as well.
Commissioner Sosa stated her intent to meet with the County Attorney�s Office for further clarification regarding the rules of procedure and whether Commissioners could vote on items if they were absent and unable to listen to the discussion.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the
Board voted to defer the foregoing item to the March 15, 2022 Board of County Commissioners (Board/BCC) meeting.

REPORT:
Commissioner Heyman proffered a friendly amendment to (1) Extend the initial 30-day reporting period to 60 days, and (2) Require all reports identifying all contracts older than 60 days that were approved by the Board, but not executed, be submitted every 60 days beginning September 1, 2022. She reviewed the intent of the proffered amendments and voiced her frustrations about the number of unexecuted contracts.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins noted, following discussions with Mr. Alex Munoz, Director, Internal Services Department (ISD), she too had drafted amendments to the item in response to staff�s concerns regarding the number of departmental reports and the timeframe for submitting the reports. She pointed out that the new timeframe proffered by Commissioner Heyman still would not provide the department the time needed to complete the reports and requested the item be amended to allow the administration to limit its� first written report to the Internal Services Department (ISD), the Water and Sewer Department (WASD), the Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) and the Department for Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) contracts; with all following reports to be done for all departments on a rotating and ongoing basis. Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated the intent of the report was to identify the reason approved contracts were not being processed.
Mr. Munoz inquired about the new timeframe for the report analysis period and the submittal times for the reports.
Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal clarified that the amendment proffered by Commissioner Cohen Higgins also included a timeframe component and advised that the foregoing item would be amended to limit the report analysis period to the past three (3) years; and to set timeframes for subsequent reports to be provided 60 days thereafter for the remaining departments.
Commissioner Heyman withdrew her proffered amendment in light of the amendments proposed by Commissioner Cohen Higgins.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins requested staff complete the reports in a timely manner and not request any further extensions.
Mr. Munoz noted staff�s commitment to providing the reports in a timely manner and spoke about the administration�s efforts to improve the department�s systems to properly track the progress of all contracts.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava advised the Board members that the administration was currently working on procuring an automated tracking system.
Discussion ensued among Commissioners Cohen Higgins and Heyman, Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal and Mr. Munoz regarding the motion before the Board.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins requested the report to be placed on the Board of County Commissioners agenda without Committee review.
Hearing no further questions or comments the Board proceeded to vote on the item, as amended to (1) Allow the administration to limit its� first written report to the Internal Services Department (ISD), the Water and Sewer Department (WASD), the Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) and the Department for Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) contracts; with all following reports to be done for all departments on a rotating and ongoing basis; (2) Limit the report analysis period to the past three (3) years; (3) Set timeframes for subsequent reports to be provided 60 days thereafter for the remaining departments; and (4) Require the report to be placed on the Board of County Commissioners agenda without Committee review.
Hearing no further questions or comments the Board proceeded to vote on the item, as amended.

REPORT:
Commissioner Regalado noted that staff was requesting additional time to provide the requested reports and work on a template that would include the recertification period specified in legislation proposed by Commissioner Garcia.
Mr. Alex Munoz, Director, Miami-Dade Internal Services Department (ISD) estimated ISD�s report could be generated within 30 to 45 days while the other departments needed 90 days.
Miami-Dade Mayor Levine Cava reiterated the time periods needed for the reports.
Assistant County Attorney Annery Pulgar Alfonso pointed out the item currently provided 90 days for the completion and return of the report.
Commissioner Regalado requested the foregoing resolution be amended to allow the Internal Services Department (ISD) to provide the departmental report within 45 days, with all other departmental reports due within 90 days; and to require the review and written report to include buildings prior to the 40-year recertification deadline, or the equivalent, as proposed by legislation sponsored by Commissioner Garcia.
It was moved by Commissioner Regalado that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the foregoing resolution, as amended. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Sosa and upon being put to a vote, the motion passed by a vote of 11-0 (Commissioner Souto and Vice Chairman Gilbert III were absent).
The final amended version of the foregoing item will be assigned Resolution No. R-229-22.

RESOLUTION SUSPENDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RESOLUTION NO. R-62-22 AMENDMENTS TO IMPLEMENTING ORDER 3-34 FOR 120 DAYS
|
Adopted
Resolution R-238-22
Mover: Raquel A. Regalado
Seconder: Eileen Higgins
Vote: 8 - 0
Absent: Gilbert, III , Sosa , Martinez , Garc�a
Absent, OCB: Souto

REPORT:
Commissioner Regalado noted on January 19, 2022, the Board of County Commissioner adopted Resolution No. R-62-22, which amended Implementing Order (IO) 3-34 to provide that selection committees shall be given all reports and findings, issued by the Miami-Dade Office of the Inspector General (�OIG�) or the Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust (�COE�) regarding any vendor or proposed subcontractor under consideration by such selection committee. She explained it was her intent to provide the OIG and COE additional time to automate the searches for the records, since the software used by both offices were unable to conduct the research needed.
Commissioner Regalado moved to suspend the implementation of the amendment to IO 3-34 contained in Resolution No. R-62-22, for a period of 120 days and not require the County�s Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to provide all reports and findings issued by the OIG or COE regarding any vendor or proposed subcontractor under consideration by such selection committee during the term of the suspension.
Mr. Jose Arrojo, Executive Director, Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust, stated that IO 3-34 required the administration to provide any OIG or COE reports on potential candidates to selection committees. He explained the reports were currently stored in a format that was not easily searchable and the volume of records made it difficult for the offices to comply with the order. Mr. Arrojo reported that the administration had requested the County�s Information Technology Department (ITD) to identify and implement a program that would help format the reports in a searchable index.
Chairman Diaz voiced his concerns regarding the absence of the Mr. Felix Jimenez, Miami-Dade County�s Inspector General.
Mr. Arrojo stated that while he was not speaking on behalf of the OIG�s office, he was aware through group discussions that the OIG�s office was dealing with similar issues concerning their records.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava confirmed that the administration was currently providing ITD support to the OIG and COE offices so they would be able to comply with the report requirements.
There being no other comments or objections, the Board members proceeded to take a vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.
SPECIAL NOTE: The foregoing motion was codified as a resolution.

COMMENTS REGARDING THE HEALTH STATUS OF LOLITA, THE ORCA
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Regalado spoke about the failing health of Lolita, also known as Tokitae or Toki, the orca. She asked her colleagues to support her motion to ask the administration to request the new Miami Seaquarium owners, MS Leisure, to provide and pay for a third party veterinarian�s examination of Lolita. Commissioner Regalado stated the new owners were supportive of the item and stated her intent to draft legislation amending the new lease.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava informed the Board members that the administration was currently working with the current and future owners to agree to a third party veterinarian examination. She pointed out that the County had no jurisdiction and noted that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) was responsible for inspections at the site. Mayor Levine Cava stated the last health report provided to the County revealed that Lolita was in a stable condition with no reports about pneumonia.
Commissioner Regalado spoke to the urgency of the matter and requested the Board take an official position on the matter.
Chairman Diaz pointed out that the Miami Seaquarium was a private institution responsible for the care of the animals. He expressed hesitation about taking a stance on an issue without full and proper information.
Commissioner Heyman noted that the foregoing issue was not an agenda item and should have been properly added to the agenda to provide the public an opportunity to speak.
Responding to Commissioner Heyman�s question as to whether the action requested by Commissioner Regalado could be done administratively, Assistant County Attorney Melanie Spencer reviewed the options available to the Board. She explained that the Board could vote in support of an independent analysis of the orca, or encourage the administration to meet with the owners about the independent analysis. She confirmed that Mayor Levine Cava could also adopt a position as the County�s �strong� mayor expressing her concerns about the health of the orca.
Chairman Diaz concurred with Commissioner Heyman and urged the Mayor to exercise her authority as the County�s �strong� mayor and as an animal advocate.
Commissioner Regalado reiterated the urgency of the situation and her decision to provide her colleagues an opportunity to weigh in on the matter.
