She noted the Board would set the Agenda by approving all of those items by single vote, except for ordinances for first reading, public hearing items, discussion Agenda Item 6A1 and 6A1 Supplement, Agenda Item 6B1, ordinances set for second reading, Agenda Items 8A1, 8A2 and 8F7 were to be voted on separately pursuant to Florida Statute and were not included in the �Pull List;� and the following �Pull List� items: Agenda Items 2B8, 8E5, 8F1, 8F2, 8F4, 8F6, 8F10, 8G1, 8G2, 8G3, 8G4, 8G5, 8N1, 11A2, 11A3 and 11A3 Supplement, 11A5 and 11A5 Supplement, 11A9, 11A11, 11A13, 11A18, 11A21, and 11A22.

REPORT:
Commissioner Cohen Higgins asked that foregoing proposed item be bifurcated due to concerns that it repealed Code 31-310 in an ordinance adopted by the Board (Agenda Item 7C, Legislative File No. 211246 from the October 1, 2021, Board of County Commissioners meeting). She noted that the previous ordinance had a requirement that professional drivers must be able to orally communicate in English for emergency situations. She said this mandate followed federal guidelines and that for safety reasons drivers should be able to speak English.
Commissioner Monestime informed the Board that during a Sunshine meeting with Commissioner Sosa an issue was raised that companies needed to hire more drivers, but were hindered because applicants could not pass the exams in English. He added the County faced a labor shortage. He said the amendment to the Code was made to address the hiring issue. He also responded to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� concerns about non-English-speaking drivers in emergencies and said those were extreme situations.
Commissioner Martinez stated he was unsupportive of the item; and echoed Commissioner Cohen Higgins� remarks that the drivers� inability to speak English during emergencies was a safety issue. He added that this inability was detrimental to the public and tourists.
Commissioner Sosa claimed that sections of the Code still required drivers to take an oral exam to demonstrate their ability to communicate in English during emergencies. She noted the item only eliminated the written part of the exam. She also pointed out that the County�s educational system enabled non-English speakers in job training to learn English.
Commissioner Regalado noted the labor shortage in the County which affected the County�s Special Transportation Services (STS). She pointed out that most passengers who used STS had difficulty communicating, yet drivers were trained to deal with them, and many STS drivers used translation services in their phones to communicate with their passengers and protect them.
Chairman Diaz acknowledged the issues raised and opined it would suffice if drivers were able to speak in English. He voiced his support for the item.
Mr. Eulois Cleckley, Director of the Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW), confirmed that the ordinance eliminated the oral exam requirement for applicant drivers and only kept the written exam requirement in English.
Assistant County Attorney Bruce Libhaber confirmed that the oral exam requirement was eliminated in the ordinance.
Commissioner Higgins stated she shared Commissioner Martinez�s views that drivers for emergencies needed some oral proficiency in English and added that the language in the item was confusing. She indicated she did not support the item.
Chairman Diaz suggested the item be deferred to correct its language.
Mr. Cleckley indicated that the ordinance did not apply to taxi drivers and ride-share drivers, but instead, was applicable to chauffeurs, STS drivers, private school bus drivers and jitney drivers. He mentioned that these private companies had their own training for drivers, who took driver�s license exams in English.
Mr. Raul Gonzalez, Special Projects Administrator for DPTW, stated that private companies trained the listed drivers for the County in English. The training included written exams in English, Spanish and Creole, but the DPTW did not have information about the kind of training done by the companies.
Mr. Gonzalez explained that the oral exams had a 44 percent failure rate and had been administered since January 2022.
Mr. Gonzalez elaborated on the drivers� access to their dispatchers. He also reported that there were never any complaints or issues about drivers being unable to communicate with 911 dispatchers
Commissioner Sosa noted some non-English speakers were able to communicate in English through writing and did well on written exams. She also pointed out that callers did not have to speak English when they called 911 emergency services.
Assistant County Attorney Libhaber confirmed the written exams would be administered in either English, Spanish or Creole.
Commissioner Sosa observed that non-English speaking drivers had safety training and could assist their passengers during emergencies and other situations.
Mr. Cleckley verified that STS drivers did not have to be able to speak English with their passengers.
Commissioner Sosa opined that without the ordinance, STS would be negatively affected; and she expressed her support for the item. She thanked the County Attorney�s Office for the clarification about the item.
In response to Commissioner Martinez� inquiry, Assistant County Attorney Libhaber stated that the County did not have authority over private ride-sharing companies.
Chairman Diaz suggested that a way should be found to assist companies in teaching their drivers English.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed ordinance, as presented.

DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING ECONOMIC STIMULUS PROGRAM FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS AND OTHER ON-GOING PROCUREMENTS
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Chairman Diaz commented several capital projects, in which bids were submitted, were still pending for two to three years. He added that construction and material costs had increased and the original bids no longer matched the prices for some of the projects.
Chairman Diaz asked the Administration to provide an updated list of all capital projects that were ready to begin, but were pending for various reasons, as well as information about the projects as a whole.
Chairman Diaz added that within a week, a list would be distributed to the Board, after its information was vetted, about conveyed properties in recent years.
Commissioner Regalado suggested the properties on the list, especially infill properties, be re-zoned for multi-family units, and asked if Chairman Diaz�s staff could determine if this was possible. She stressed that due to space issues in the County, single-family homes should no longer be constructed and suggested duplexes and triplexes as alternatives.
Regarding the capital projects, Commissioner Regalado pointed out that in the consent decree there were changes in the law, which impacted some aspects of the projects. She recommended that new technologies, changes in the law, and selecting the most effective and efficient delivery methods be considered.
Chairman Diaz thanked the Office of the Commission Auditor for the preparation of the list of properties. He reported that he was scheduled to meet with the County Mayor to discuss infill properties, and expressed the need for single-family homes. He also ensured that the types of homes to be built on the properties would be fully examined.

REPORT:
Commissioner Cohen Higgins pointed out that the Agenda Item 8F1 approved the rejection of solicitations because the initial solicitations did not contain a living wage component. She also noted that in Agenda Item 8F2 a new recommended solicitation included the living wage component. She asked why the solicitation was allowed because the category of workers noted in the item were not included in the County�s living wage ordinance.
Assistant County Attorney Miguel Gonzalez acknowledged that the living wage ordinance did not apply to the healthcare workers in the item. He noted however, that the County could make a policy decision to contractually require the living wage rate for the workers. He added that although the living wage ordinance applied to current County contracts, the County could approve a contract with the living wage rates for workers not named in the ordinance.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins asked Assistant County Attorney Gonzalez if the County was prepared to expand the living wage ordinance to include other categories of workers, such as the healthcare workers in the item. She also inquired if the fiscal impact for the expansion had been considered. Assistant County Attorney Gonzalez deferred to the Administration.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava responded that the County needed to establish contractual guidelines that allowed the jobs to be performed. She said the item referred to certified nursing assistants that needed to earn the living wage rate.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins affirmed her support for the living wage ordinance and the items. However, she asked again if the living wage ordinance should be updated and expanded.
Commissioner Higgins supported the items, and asked Assistant County Attorney Gonzalez to prepare legislation to officially add this category of workers to the living wage ordinance.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins asked Ms. Namita Uppal, Chief Procurement Officer of the Miami-Dade County Internal Services Department, to provide a report to the Board, which detailed the categories that were not expressly included in the living wage ordinance.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the items, as presented.

REPORT:
Chairman Diaz asked why the item had come back to the Board if it had been adopted at the February 1, 2022, Board meeting.
Commissioner Higgins explained there was a procurement to find a third-party administrator for the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF), but there was difficulty in finding a suitable administrator. She added that the item that was adopted at the February 1st meeting (Agenda Item 7B) specified if a third-party administrator could not be found then the Miami-Dade County Public Housing and Community Development Department (PHCD) could act as the administrator.
Chairman Diaz asked why the item 8F6 recommended a rejection of the assigned administrator.
Ms. Namita Uppal, Chief Procurement Officer of the Miami-Dade County Internal Services Department, recounted the history of the attempts to recruit a third-party administrator. She said that according to the AHTF Code, the Board had the authority to select an administrator.
Chairman Diaz pointed out that Commissioner Higgins already selected an administrator and allocations had been completed.
Michael Liu, Director of PHCD, explained that according to the AHTF�s bylaws that once the procurement began and was not moving forward in its process, then the procurement had to return to the Board for confirmation of the proposal rejections. This had to occur despite the simultaneous process which assigned the PHCD as the administrator.
Chairman Diaz supported Commissioner Higgins� actions but opined that previously adopted items should not come back to the Board.
Mr. Liu confirmed the actions for item 8F6 did not affect the allocations from the previous item.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the item, as presented.

REPORT:
Commissioner Martinez voiced his concerns about the funding allocated in Items 8G1 through 8G5 for the fiscal year 2021/2022 budget of community redevelopment agencies (CRA) and opined the funding could be used in the County�s General Fund.
Commissioner Heyman pointed out that all the regulations about CRAs were set by the State of Florida, and explained the funding process. She did not favor the process, but preferred to monitor the funds when a CRA was in her district to ensure the funds were properly allocated for poor areas.
Commissioner Heyman, however, voiced her concerns about how the CRAs spent their allocations in two occasions that impaired local businesses and properties. She noted that exorbitant funds were used to pay people that operated some CRAs. She listed several operations and service costs at some CRAs. She expressed her dissatisfaction with the costs and moved to defer item 8G2 so she could meet with CRA personnel within two weeks to get an explanation for the costs.
Commissioner Monestime would not second the motion to defer item 8G2. He added that his staff determined the funding paid for local events, marketing, and addressed urban issues. He observed that in North Miami he had seen significant improvements done by the CRA.
Commissioner Sosa commended the significant improvements in North Miami by the CRA. Chairman Diaz agreed.
Commissioner Regalado commented that because of the process it would be difficult to make any changes in the item in the two-week time period requested by Commissioner Heyman.
Commissioner Heyman made a motion to defer the item. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Martinez and upon being put to a vote, the motion failed by a vote of 3-10 (Chairman Diaz, Vice Chairman Gilbert, III, and Commissioners Cohen Higgins, Hardemon, Higgins, McGhee, Monestime, Regalado, Sosa, and Souto voted no).
Commissioner Hardemon made a motion to adopt Agenda Items 8G1 through 8G5; Commissioner Monestime seconded the motion.
Commissioner Hardemon pointed out he served as chairperson for the Southeast Overtown Park West CRA and saw significant improvements in the area it served. He opined the costs were well invested in the areas the CRAs served and listed community improvements. He concluded the CRAs had a duty to improve lives in communities while the County should work with the CRAs to ensure their objectives were accomplished.
Commissioner Martinez acknowledged Commissioner Hardemon�s view, but opined that the CRAs received too much funding from the General Fund and more details were needed about the how the funds were allocated. He urged that the County more closely examine the CRAs� spending.
Commissioner Regalado mentioned that while the Board could not direct that the CRAs invest their funds in water-quality projects the Board could suggest it, because the County needed assistance with these projects in terms of matching funds. She noted that more attention was needed for infrastructure and other quality-of-life issues. She suggested the CRAs provide five-year fiscal impact reports.
Commissioner Monestime listed several community improvements by the CRAs in the County, including North Miami. He concluded that CRAs were beneficial to communities because they provided financial incentives for local vendors and firms.
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan reported that Commissioner Heyman requested to bifurcate Agenda Item 8G2.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the items, as presented.

REPORT:
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed resolution into the record.
Chairman Diaz spoke about the need to honor law enforcement officers in the County and voiced his support for a paid County-observed holiday to show gratitude and respect towards the officers.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III pointed out the logistics of the Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (LEAD) and its fiscal impact in the County. He said while County offices and services would be closed, law enforcement officers still had to be on duty. He opined that while other County employees should not have a day off, officers were entitled to a floating holiday, which would save money for the County.
Commissioner Martinez requested to co-sponsor the item, which Chairman Diaz accepted. He expressed that law enforcement officers needed to be recognized for their work. He stated that when the Juneteenth holiday was declared in 2021 the County Mayor asserted then that it would not have a fiscal impact in the County. He asked why this proposed holiday had a fiscal impact.
Mr. David Clodfelter, Director of the Miami-Dade Office of Management and Budget, explained there was no immediate fiscal impact except for County employees that may choose to have a leave payout before the end of the fiscal year.
Commissioner Martinez asked if there was a fiscal impact report for the Juneteenth holiday.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava stated there was a request for a fiscal impact report for the LEAD holiday but not for the Juneteenth holiday. She added that Commissioner Heyman requested the report for the LEAD holiday during the March 10, 2022 Community Safety and Security Committee meeting (See Agenda Item 2A, Legislative File No. 220509).
Mr. Clodfelter said there was no fiscal differences between the two holidays.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins observed the County would be the first in the nation to have this holiday. She inquired if the holiday included and recognized all law enforcement employees, and suggested associated employees such as firefighters, corrections officers, and emergency dispatchers be included, as well.
Chairman Diaz replied that the holiday would cover the entire cone of law enforcement and associated personnel.
Commissioner Sosa thanked Chairman Diaz for allowing her to co-sponsor the proposed resolution and commended the law enforcement officers.
Mayor Levine Cava expressed her pride in the County�s law enforcement officers. She voiced her support for the item and would swiftly implement it.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III opined that it was possible to support law enforcement while being critical of them. He cautioned about pending budgeting issues for the Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD). He also repeated his observations about the logistical impacts the holiday would have with all County employees.
Chairman Diaz noted that it was always possible to find funding in the County budget for law enforcement and associated public services.
Commissioner Regalado supported the holiday but questioned its logistics in terms of law enforcement officers who worked on that day. She wondered what would happen with the holiday if the MDPD was absorbed into the Miami-Dade County Sheriff�s Office. She noted that the State of Florida�s House Bill 3 legislation created differences among law enforcement entities and the holiday implied that there was not a distinction between law enforcement entities.
Commissioner McGhee cautioned about the perception that one would be seen as anti- or pro-law enforcement based on support of the item. He voiced his support for the item and law enforcement, and suggested a special taxing district or trust fund be established for law enforcement employees and their families.
Commissioner Monestime supported the item, but also agreed with the comments expressed by Vice Chairman Gilbert III and Commissioner Regalado.
Chairman Diaz pointed out that in comparison to law enforcement officers having to work during LEAD, military personnel still operated during Veteran�s Day, yet the day was observed and celebrated by others.
Commissioner Higgins supported the item and suggested County employees should volunteer for County activities during the holiday. She volunteered to help coordinate such activities.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the item, as presented.
After the vote, Mr. Steadman Stahl, President of the South Florida Police Benevolent Association, expressed his gratitude to the Board and Mayor Levine Cava for their support.

REPORT:
Commissioner McGhee stated detainees at the Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department�s (CRD) correctional facilities were unable to afford bail, obtain effective counsel and their telephonic communications from within the facilities consigned debt on their families.
According to Commissioner McGhee, the foregoing proposed resolution addressed some of the detainees� issues by providing free communication services while they were incarcerated. He moved the item, which was seconded by Commissioner Higgins.
Commissioner McGhee asked the Administration several questions about the fiscal impact of the service. Chief Public Safety Officer J.D. Patterson replied the service would be cost neutral and would not affect taxpayers because in the way the item was presented the vendor provided the service at no cost.
Commissioner McGhee asked if the item included an educational component and if there would be protocols to prevent detainees from making random or harassing calls. Chief Patterson answered that the detainees would be monitored and added there was an educational component in the item.
Chief Patterson answered Commissioner McGhee�s question about the service�s benefits, which were reduced violence and improved morale at the facilities. Chief Patterson added that the current contract would expire in July 2022 and that a request for proposal (RFP) was being prepared that would include changes.
Assistant County Attorney Shanika Graves read an amendment proposed by Commissioner McGhee as follows:
�To add a section 6 on typewritten page 6 directing the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to include language in the next solicitation and contract for telecommunications or communications services for detainees in Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation jail facilities to require a pre-approved call list of individuals who have given prior authorization for receipt of calls from detainees or acceptance of said calls before any such calls are connected.
�To replace all references in the item to inmates with detainees; and to make conforming changes to the title.�
Commissioner Higgins seconded the motion to adopt the item as amended.
Discussion ensued among the Board members about the item. Commissioner Heyman observed the item did not properly address issues about communications between attorneys and their detainee clients. She noted both parties were already able to communicate with cameras in the facilities.
Commissioner Heyman suggested that more language or direction should be included in the item which provided guidance about counsel communications with detainees. She advised that the County must have a no-call list for victims and a current list of criminal defense attorneys available for the CRD.
Commissioner Heyman added that neither the County nor detainees should incur costs for calls with attorneys nor should these calls be part of negotiations with the new vendor. She also emphasized that the suggestions were not amendments for the item, but instead direction for negotiations for the new contract.
Commissioner Heyman continued with a suggestion for an updated list of who can or cannot receive calls, which should include criminal defense attorneys. She also raised concerns with the issue of regional conflict counsel and expressed that attorneys who assisted detainees should not be excluded at the time the new contract took effect because of the conflict.
Commissioner Heyman supported an accountability system for the tablets to be used for the phone calls, but had concerns about how cost neutral the service would be.
Commissioner McGhee responded to Commissioner Heyman�s concerns, stating that as a budgetary safeguard, services would not be provided if they incurred costs.
Ms. Namita Uppal, Chief Procurement Officer for the Miami-Dade Internal Services Department (ISD), explained the accountability included a repair/replacement process for the tablets at no cost to the County. She added that the intent of the Administration was not to incur costs for the service and would negotiate for the best service.
Ms. Uppal informed Commissioner Heyman that vendors had 30 to 45 days to respond to an RFP and that the Administration would re-evaluate the no-cost model if it were not feasible based on feedback from vendors. However, she expected that free service features would be available from the vendors.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said that the Administration would come back to the Board if a vendor was not awarded the contract by July 2022.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III expressed support for the service, however, pointed out that the tablets� had upgraded services that had to be paid and the County could potentially be financially liable for the costs. He opined the County should not pay for services for entertainment purposes.
Commissioner Garcia asked if there was a conflict of the RFP for a no-cost service and setting aside funding for the same service. Ms. Uppal answered that the intent of the RFP is to keep costs neutral for the service, and the RFP process would determine if funding was actually needed.
Commissioner Martinez asked how much revenue the County earned from the original 2014 communications service contract. Mr. David Clodfelter, Director of the Miami-Dade Office of Management and Budget, replied that in the current County Budget, $2.1 million was identified in telephone commission revenue, which was directly related to the contract.
Commissioner Martinez pointed out the contract was expected to generate $16,400 million in revenue and questioned if this happened. He requested that Mr. Clodfelter determine and report how much revenue the County earned from the original 2014 communications services contract.
Ms. Uppal reported the RFP had requirements for the tablets and the devices would have security protocols. She added that the vendor earned income from the extra services provided by the tablets if detainees exceeded the basic service package.
Commissioner Martinez conveyed that the service improved morale for detainees and increased safety for correction officers, however, he stated he was unsupportive of detainees receiving perks through the service while law-abiding residents lacked funds for necessities.
Ms. Cassandra Jones, Interim Director of the CRD, reported that the tablets cost from $150 to $200 each. Commissioner Martinez confirmed with her how the vendors earned income and the RFP would determine if the service was cost neutral.
Commissioner Cohen expressed her concerns that aside from detainees being entitled to a first call after being arrested, further calls from phones at facilities were a privilege for them. She reported that after consultation with corrections officers, she understood the calls would only be administered through the tablets.
Ms. Jones confirmed providing free calls with the facilities� limited amount of phones would be problematic. She reported the tablets would have restrictive programming and that CRD would control access to the devices.
After Commissioner Cohen Higgins raised her concerns that detainees could incur service charges.
Ms. Jones provided details about the amount of time detainees were allowed for tablet usage and available electronic activities.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins observed there could be an issue about the available content in the tablets for the detainees and if they were appropriate. She also observed the detainees would accumulate debt through the service.
Commissioner Regalado questioned if the service would decrease the distribution of physical mail documents in favor of digital documents.
Ms. Jones replied this was an option but the County still permitted the distribution of physical documents to detainees.
Commissioner Regalado suggested the RFP include the tablet�s capability to scan physical documents and distribute them digitally.
Commissioner Regalado pointed out that detainees could use the Miami-Dade Public Library System (MPLS) to access information and entertainment.
Mr. Christopher Moreno, Chief of CRD, reported the RFP required that the vendors interface with the MPLS. Commissioner Regalado opined this was an unnecessary duplication of services and the vendors should provide content that was not available in the MPLS.
Commissioner Regalado advised the service could be used for vocational purposes or to assist detainees earn General Equivalency Diplomas.
Ms. Jones said the County would offer available programs to detainees through the tablets.
Commissioner Regalado indicated she could not recommend tablets because of their limited capacities and shelf lives, and were not cost-effective in the long term. Instead, she advised the CRD consult with the Miami-Dade School Board, who issued laptops for their students.
Commissioner Higgins commented that many detainees awaiting trials were impoverished and should not pay for phone calls to communicate with their families and attorneys. She added that detainees should have electronic access to information and education while incarcerated. She pointed out that basic communication services had been successfully provided in other correctional facilities throughout the country. She concluded that the service did not have to be cost neutral and advised the Administration to find a way to provide the service at no cost to detainees.
Chairman Diaz opined the service would help detainees communicate with families and protect CRD workers at facilities. Ms. Jones reassured him about the restrictions of the service, which would not incur costs for the County. He noted the service would create ongoing accounts for the detainees� families and the usage of the service should be productive.
Ms. Jones and Mr. Moreno provided details about the current phone and video service and compared it to the proposed service. Chairman Diaz suggested the calls should be restricted to pre-approved phone numbers because some victims may not want to be contacted by detainees.
Commissioner Hardemon said that the amount of calls in facilities could be reduced if the County adopted a cashless bond system to allow non-violent detainees, who could not afford bail under the current cash bond system, to be released pending charges.
Commissioner Monestime, who confirmed his co-sponsorship, and Vice Chairman Gilbert III expressed support of the item. However, Vice Chairman Gilbert III opined convicted detainees should be punished for their crimes and expected the RFP to only provide service to contact family members, attorneys and for educational purposes.
Commissioner Higgins stated she asked in previous meetings for information on how a cashless bail system could operate in the County but never received it. She asked the Administration for an analysis.
Mayor Levine Cava said that the cashless bail system was being studied by the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida and a report would be provided to Commissioner Higgins.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins indicated she was unsupportive of the item because the issues she raised were not addressed to her satisfaction.
Commissioner McGhee summarized why detainees needed basic communication access with their families and attorneys. He based his views on the fact he was both a former prosecutor and formerly incarcerated.
It was moved by Commissioner McGhee that the foregoing proposed resolution be adopted as amended to direct the County Mayor to include language in the next solicitation that required a pre-approved call list of persons who authorized detainees to call them and to replace all references in the item from inmates to detainees. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Higgins and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 9-2 (Commissioners Cohen Higgins and Garcia voted no; Commissioner Sosa was excused and Commissioner Souto was absent).

REPORT:
Assistant County Attorney Monica Rizo Perez read a motion by Commissioner Heyman, as follows:
�On December 17, 2019, pursuant to Resolution No. R-1343-19, this Board approved a project agreement to design, build, finance, operate and maintain a new civil probate courthouse. That item approved a contingency allowance of $13,334,000 and authorized the County Mayor or Mayor�s designee to expend the contingency allowance, but provided that the County Mayor or Mayor�s designee was not permitted to request any design and construction changes at the County�s option under the project agreement nor spend any contingency allowance for the same changes without the Board�s prior approval. Certain design and construction change requests have arisen, which are deemed necessary by the Office of Court Administration of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida and/or by the County�s Internal Services Department, and it would further delay the project if, each time such a change is to be effectuated or paid for from the contingency allowance, this Board�s approval must first be sought.
�Therefore, Commissioner Heyman moves to delegate the authority to the County Mayor or Mayor�s designee to approve design and construction changes at the County�s option pursuant to Section 7.12 of the project agreement and to spend the contingency allowance for such changes, provided that the consent of the Chief Judge of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida is first obtained.�
Commissioner Higgins seconded the motion.
Commissioner Martinez stated he was unsupportive of the motion although he understood Commissioner Heyman�s intent.
Commissioner Regalado asked for information on the project�s progress; and voiced her concerns about granting authority and the project�s timeline.
Commissioner Heyman said that Mr. Alex Munoz, Director of the Miami-Dade Internal Services Department (ISD), was overseeing the project, and added that her office received monthly updates, which were publicly available.
Commissioner Heyman explained the reason for officially delegating authority. She pointed out that the project�s change orders needed input by the Chief Judge of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court, who was directly involved with the courthouse project. She reported that Chief Judge Nushin Sayfie of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court delegated other judges from the same court to monitor the project with Mr. Munoz and ISD.
Commissioner Regalado suggested an amendment to have Administration staff provide monthly reports on the construction project to the Board or Committee. Commissioner Heyman accepted this.
In response to Chairman Diaz� request, Commissioner Heyman asked Mr. Munoz to provide a report to Chairman Diaz detailing the specifics about the project�s changes and costs.
Commissioner Sosa suggested the item be presented at a future Board meeting to allow more time to study the item, otherwise the four-day rule might be invoked.
Chairman Diaz responded that Commissioner Heyman�s motion expedited the project, and it would be discussed during today�s (4/5) meeting. Commissioner Heyman said that Mr. Munoz and Assistant County Attorney Rizo Perez were available to provide more information for the Board.
Chairman Diaz confirmed with Commissioner Heyman that the changes would expedite the project, but were limited to the portion of the project that was already approved by the Board.
Assistant County Attorney Rizo Perez read Commissioner Heyman�s motion, as follows:
�Commissioner Heyman moves to delegate the authority to the County Mayor or Mayor�s designee to approve design and construction changes at the County�s option pursuant to Section 7.12 of the project agreement and spend the contingency allowance up to $2,000,000 for same, provided the consent of the Chief Judge of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida is first obtained.�
Commissioner Martinez seconded the motion, noting he was doing so because a budgetary limit was included.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III asked if the County Mayor needed approval from the Chief Judge or if the Chief Judge could only advise the County Mayor about the project.
Commissioner Heyman answered that for past four years the Chief Judge was part of the decision-making group before any actions came before the County Mayor for approval.
Assistant County Attorney Rizo Perez reported there was a $13,334,000 contingency, which was delegated by the Board to the County Mayor for unforeseen issues, but not for County-requested changes to the project. She said that in the original item (See R-1343-19, Legislative File No. 192751 at the December 17, 2019 Board of County Commissioners meeting), the County-requested changes had to be approved by the Board. She further explained Commissioner Heyman�s motion allowed the County Mayor to pay for the changes out of the contingency for up to $2,000,000 and to make design changes with the consent of the Chief Judge.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III stated he supported the item but observed the motion gave the Chief Judge veto power.
Assistant County Attorney Rizo Perez clarified any vetoes by the Chief Judge had to come before the Board. She acknowledged the time-sensitive nature and reason for the motion, but opined that the motion was essentially a resolution and the Board had limited notice about it before today�s (4/5) meeting commenced.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the motion and upon being put to a vote, the motion passed by a vote of 11-0 (Commissioner Sosa was excused and Commissioner Souto was absent).
Commissioner Heyman moved to delegate the authority to the County Mayor or Mayor�s designee to approve design and construction changes at the County�s option pursuant to Section 7.12 of the project agreement and spend the contingency allowance for same, provided that the consent of the Chief Judge of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court is first obtained.
This motion was seconded by Commissioner Martinez and upon being put to a vote, the motion passed by a vote of 9-0 (Commissioner Sosa was excused and Commissioners McGhee, Higgins and Souto were absent).

COMMISSIONER HEYMAN COMMENDATION OF COUNTY SERVICES FOR BAYVIEW 60 HOMES EVACUATION ON APRIL 4, 2022
|
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Heyman requested a Moment of Personal Privilege and mentioned the April 4, 2022 evacuation of residents from the Bayview 60 Homes apartment building in North Miami Beach. It was deemed structurally unsafe by engineers hired by the building owners. She also recalled the repercussions from the building collapse of Surfside�s Champlain Towers South on June 24, 2021, which included home evacuations throughout the County due to structural failure. She pointed out the evacuees were quickly relocated with the assistance of the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust (Homeless Trust).
Commissioner Heyman commended the immediate response to the Bayview evacuation by the building owners, County and local agencies, the Homeless Trust, and law enforcement. She thanked the Homeless Trust and the Board and noted the procedures were in place to immediately address these emergencies.
