Regalado Seconder: Rebeca Sosa Vote: 13 - 0
	REPORT: County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read into the record the forgoing proposed resolutions Special Items No. 2 and No. 10. Commissioner Regalado sought clarification on the difference between the two items. Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal responded to Commissioner Regalado�s inquiry and explained the differences between the foregoing proposed resolutions. He noted that Special Item No. 2 included direction to the Office of Policy and Budget Affairs to study benchmarking of the Supervisor of Elections� Office to the ten largest counties and changed the due date for the study. He stated that Special Item No. 10 directed the County Mayor not to purchase or lease any additional real property for the Supervisor of Elections until the constitutional officer assumed office. He stated the item also contained a provision which directed the County Mayor to draft an amendment to implement an order to allow County employees to be used as poll workers. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal noted the proposed resolution also contained had a long-term transfer agreement for the County to provide administrative services to the Supervisor of Elections� Office. Commissioner Regalado noted that Elections Department may have a capital plan, but the forthcoming constitutional officer may not agree with the plan. She also noted that the County needed to plan fiscally for County services. Chairman Diaz made a motion to combine the two items and Commissioner Regalado seconded the motion. Commissioner Cohen Higgins asked what authority the constitutional officers had if they wanted to change the legislation adopted on today�s (5/5) meeting. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal explained that the constitutional officers were independent of the County and could make requests to the Board for operational budgets. He clarified that the Board had authority to approve the budgets, but some constitutional offices had certain rights to challenge the decisions made by the Board. Commissioners Cohen Higgins and Martinez confirmed with Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal that today�s meeting set up a proposed framework which could be changed by the constitutional officers. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal further explained that the items created a transfer plan of assets from the County�s offices to the new constitutional offices. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal responded to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� inquiry stating that the constitutional officers would be able to define how their offices operated and what they needed to operate those offices; and that a proposed budget, to include transfer requests, would be submitted for the Board�s approval. Commissioner Martinez asked how the Elections Department was currently funded; and whether or not the Sheriff�s Office would be providing deputy sheriffs at polling locations. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal replied that there was a State of Florida statute provision that allows for Deputy Sheriffs to be available at the request of elections supervisors, but uniformed officers were not allowed inside polling locations. Commissioner Martinez asked if Miami-Dade police officers were required to be stationed at polling locations and Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal informed him that there was an arrangement between the Elections Department and the Miami-Dade Police Department to provide adequate security staffing. Ms. Jennifer Moon, Chief of Office of Policy and Budgetary Affairs, provided information on how the Elections Department was funded and staffed. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal noted the Administration had to negotiate contracts with the constitutional officers between November and January. Commissioner Regalado raised an issue about a case heard by the Supreme Court wherein a sheriff was able to move funds between line items while other constitutional officers could not. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal responded that the case referred to statutory provisions in the way the sheriff had to present a budget, but the sheriff could not alter sub-codes. He said the County Attorney�s Office had to examine the case regarding the budgetary provisions of the Sheriff�s Office. Commissioner Regalado opined that the Board�s role in approving the constitutional officers� budgets provided a counterbalance. She also said the transition plan in the items gave the County Mayor significant negotiating options. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava assured there would be continuity in the transition, the rights of County employees would be protected and the Administration would also work closely with the Board and the newly elected constitutional officers during the transition. Mayor Levine Cava reminded the Board that a chart was provided that detailed the entire transition plan with components and timelines. She indicated that quarterly reports regarding the transition and its progress would be provided to the Board. Mayor Levine Cava expressed that the Administration should be given the ability to maintain services for the Elections Department to purchase or lease new property while providing the same level of services without interruptions. Chairman Diaz accepted Commissioner Regalado�s request to Co-prime sponsor this legislation and made a motion to adopt the items as amended; and the motion was seconded by Commissioner Regalado. Commissioner Martinez clarified with Mayor Levine Cava that an amendment was needed to enable the Administration to make purchases to maintain the level of services at the Elections Department. Chairman Diaz indicated that he preferred not to amend the items until it was established that the amendment was necessary. Commissioner Monestime noted he was not in support of the motion to adopt to the items because of the immediate needs of the County and pending contracts that had to be addressed by the Administration. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal explained the foregoing proposed resolutions would set County policy and direct the County Mayor to take certain actions. He noted the County Mayor could not purchase or lease property until the elected Constitutional Officers assumed office. Ms. Susie Trudy, Deputy Supervisor of Miami-Dade County Elections Department, explained that the department needed additional property to prepare for seasonal employees and increased operations. She added that the Elections Department sought to lease additional property for one to five years, noting the election process could be interrupted if property was not obtained. Commissioner Heyman indicated she supported providing more flexibility to the Administration during ongoing election processes, which should be left under the Administration�s purview. Vice Chairman Gilbert III opined that in order to continue the ongoing election processes, the Elections Department needed to obtain extra property, but the lease should not terminate on the year after an election took place, and the department should not obtain property after 2025. Ms. Moon explained that sufficient time and space was needed to prepare for elections. She recommended that the County enter into lease agreements with provisions to end the agreements early, which would allow for the constitutional officer to terminate the lease agreement after assuming office. Commissioner Monestime suggested that during the countywide elections scheduled to be held in 2026, the incoming Supervisor of Elections would be hindered if he or she ran for office in 2026 and the building�s lease expired in 2025. He stated he would support the items if it allowed for lease agreements rather than property purchases. Commissioner Regalado suggested adding a provision in the item to terminate leases after 90 days. Chairman Diaz noted this was subject to the approval of other parties who accepted the leases. He suggested adding a provision to extend the leases for one year if needed. Following Commissioner Higgins suggestion that the County be allowed to lease equipment, which was not noted in the foregoing proposed resolutions, Mayor Levine Cava noted that the Administration would not purchase real property. Commissioner McGhee asked Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal if the clause to cancel for convenience could be used for the leases. Chairman Diaz accepted language to be included in the proposed resolution that would allow the Elections Department to defer all purchases and enter into lease agreements that included a cancellation for convenience clause to be exercisable by the County or the successor office of the Supervisor of Elections or any Constitutional Office. Ms. Trudy referred to a facility that the Elections Department was considering leasing for the August 2022 election. She noted that the department�s goal in leasing the facility was to only have two locations for their operations: the facility and where the Elections Department was located. Discussion ensued regarding the possibility that property owners may not accept a cancellation for convenience clause in a lease agreement. Vice Chairman Gilbert III supported including the clause in a lease agreement, which enabled the incoming Constitutional Officer to terminate the lease. He also advised that the County should be aware of when the duties and liabilities of a County department were transferred to a constitutional office. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal read an amendment proposed by Chairman Diaz, as follows: �To adopt Special Item No. 2 with an amendment to reduce the benchmarking study from twenty to ten largest cities. It would also incorporate all the provisions of Commissioner Regalado�s item, but the time would be amended to provide the reports to be consistent with Chairman Diaz�s scheduled due date of August 15, 2022 for his initial inventory report.� Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal read the following proposed amendment, offered by Chairman Diaz, into the record: �To amend the provision in Section 2 of Special Item No. 10 that would be imported to say that the County Mayor or designee shall defer the purchase of any real property from Miami-Dade Elections Department until after the reestablishment of a supervisor of Elections Office. It shall include any leases, and provisions for the termination of convenience by either the County or the successor constitutional officer in those leases when they are presented to the Board.� Commissioner Sosa made a motion to move the items as amended, which was seconded by Commissioner Regalado. The Board proceeded to vote on the items, as amended. During the vote call on the items, Mayor Levine Cava reported that the lease on the property referenced by Ms. Trudy for the Elections Department in the resolution was only for five years and the County could not move forward with the lease. The vote call ceased as Chairman Diaz sought clarification. Mr. Alex Munoz, Director of Miami-Dade Internal Services Department, explained that the property owner would not accept any provisions in the lease negotiations. After Chairman Diaz noted that the votes taken during the roll call before it was halted were invalid, Commissioner Higgins suggested that exceptions could be made to allow the Supervisor of Elections to enter into a five-year lease and asked if the termination for convenience clause be invoked. Mr. Munoz replied to Commissioner Higgins� suggestion, noting the termination for convenience clause could not be invoked because the lease�s term specified that at the end of the fifth year, the County could either renew or not renew the lease. Commissioner Higgins suggested the Board approve the lease agreement as it was. Chairman Diaz stated he did not want the Constitutional Officer to be impeded by the terms of lease agreements. Mayor Levine Cava noted that the lease would end one year after the election, which was a transitional period and would not be out of bounds. She also pointed out the County would work with the Constitutional Officer regarding leasing properties . Vice Chairman Gilbert III indicated he supported the lease and commented that the Board would set policy during today�s meeting on how to negotiate with constitutional officers. Mr. David Clodfelter, Director of Miami-Dade Office of Management and Budget, explained that the exposure of cost would be a net cost and less than what would be brought to the Board. During the one-year transition, the Constitutional Officer needed the available property and equipment. Mayor Levine Cava reported the cost of the five-year lease. Ms. Trudy confirmed with Mr. Clodfelter that the use of one leased facility would be a net savings for the County. Chairman Diaz explained that he allowed the lease to remain as it was because it ended one year after the constitutional officer took office and that new officer would work with the County. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal advised that the language in Section 2 of Special Item No. 10 would be imported to Special Item No. 2 to include the current language but also to provide an exception for the lease of a warehouse that would be brought back to the Board for approval. He added the lease could be terminated for convenience by the County or successor in interest, or the Board could approve the lease of the warehouse. There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the resolutions, as amended.

	REPORT: County Attorney Geri Bonzon- Keenan read into the record the foregoing proposed resolutions Special Items No. 3 and No. 12. Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal advised there was a difference between the Constitutional Officer in Special Item No. 3 and other Constitutional Officers. He pointed out that although the Clerk of the Courts was not abolished, but the charter transferred authority from the Clerk to the County. The items and the amendment would transfer those authorities back to the Clerk of the Courts. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal explained the differences between Special Items No. 3 and No. 12 in that Special Item No. 3 had a benchmarking study by the Office of Policy and Budgetary Affairs, which was amended from twenty to ten counties to study and the due date for an inventory report was August 15, 2022. Special Item No. 12 had back office arrangements for administrative functions which would be a long-term agreement and also had a June 15, 2022 due date for an inventory report. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal read a proposed amendment by Commissioner Regalado for Special Item No. 3 to add the following language: �This Board urges the Florida Legislature to enact legislation, in accordance with the requirements of the Florida Constitution, to divide the duties of the Clerk of the Court such that there is one official to serve as the Clerk of Courts and another to serve as ex officio Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, auditor, recorder and custodian of all County funds. This Board further: (a) directs the Clerk of the Board to send a certified copy of this resolution to the Governor, Senate President, House Speaker, and the Chair and Members of the Miami-Dade State Legislative Delegation; (b) directs the County�s state lobbyists to advocate for the legislation described above; and � authorizes and directs the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs to amend the 2022 state legislative package to include this item, and to include this item in the 2023 state legislative package when it is presented to the Board.� Honorable Clerk Harvey Ruvin, Miami-Dade County Clerk of the Courts, noted that the Clerk of the Courts department had functioned in a cooperative role with the County for several years for finance-based duties. Clerk Ruvin ensured that the transitional process would continue undisruptive and that the employees� benefits would not change. Clerk Ruvin noted the proposed amendment had to be reviewed, although it appeared to be a duplication of services. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava noted she was in support of the amendment. She explained that the County operated the Office of the Comptroller and the Office of the Commission Auditor for decades and the integrity of both offices should be maintained. She asked the Board to petition the governor of the State of Florida to add the item to special session topics and move it forward. Clerk Ruvin noted that the amendment needed to be reviewed more thoroughly. Chairman Diaz granted Clerk Ruvin the opportunity to review the amendment and postponed Special Items No. 3 and 10 to the next Special Meeting. The foregoing resolution was not heard during today�s (5/5) meeting; The Board recessed and announced it would reconvene on Monday, June 6, 2022 to hear the remaining Agenda Items.

Commissioner Heyman explained that the foregoing resolutions (Special Item 6 and Special Item 7) dealt with duties not under the purview of the Sheriff�s Office. Commissioner Martinez pointed out that Special Item No. 7 dealt with court bailiffs who were under the Sheriff�s Office. Chairman Diaz agreed to move the discussion of the bailiffs. With regards to the County�s court bailiffs, the medical examiner�s office and corrections officers, Commissioner Regalado asked about the County Attorney Office�s interpretation of municipalities providing municipal services. Chairman Diaz stated that correctional officers were not included in any of legislation being proposed today, however, the matter could be discussed during consideration of the matters dealing with the Sheriff�s Office.

Heyman Seconder: Joe A. Martinez Vote: 13 - 0
	REPORT: County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read into the record the title of the foregoing resolution. Commissioner Heyman pointed out that the court bailiffs were part of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida. Chairman Diaz said the matter would be discussed later in the meeting. Administrative Judge Jennifer Bailey of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida pointed out that court bailiffs worked directly with the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida and functioned independently of the Miami-Dade Police Department. She asked that the bailiffs remain under the jurisdiction of the courts and not the new Miami-Dade Sheriff�s Office. Commissioner Regalado raised concerns about the statutory provisions. Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal explained how the sheriff operated pursuant to Chapter 30 of the Florida Statute. He stated there was a provision that the sheriff could unilaterally decide his or her general authority and operations in accordance with the Florida Statute. He further stated that in another provision, the sheriff had to attend all sessions of the circuit and county courts. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal noted these provisions did not prevent the County from funding additional security services for the County courts. With regard to Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal�s comments, Commissioner Regalado opined that this was a duplication of services. Judge Bailey clarified that while the court had assigned liaison officers that worked with the sheriff to handle writs, the bailiffs performed specific security duties exclusively for the court and she emphasized each service was independent of each other and not a duplication of services. Ms. Jennifer Moon, Chief of Office of Policy and Budgetary Affairs, explained how bailiffs were funded for security services. She noted that the County was obligated to pay for these services for its courtrooms through the County�s General Fund. She pointed out there could be a duplication of services if the sheriff decided to place security in all of the County�s courtrooms, while the bailiffs were employed for the same duties. Commissioner Martinez noted that the Sheriff was the executive officer of the Circuit Court and had to provide security to the court and Chief Judge. He cautioned that a duplication of services could occur. Ms. Moon reported on the yearly cost for the bailiffs. Commissioner Martinez added that the County had to fund the sheriff�s assigned security to the court. Ms. Moon pointed out that the number of assigned bailiffs and deputy sheriffs did not have to be on a one-to-one basis. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal listed the primary duties of the sheriff, which included attending all sessions of the Circuit Court and County Court held in counties. Chairman Diaz noted the sheriff had the authority to make decisions about security in the court system. Commissioner Heyman opined that the bailiffs should remain assigned in their security roles to the judges and the courtrooms. She added it was the County�s obligation to protect the exterior of the courthouses. Ms. Moon pointed out that regardless if the item was adopted in 2025, the County had to justify the funding and use of bailiffs for security purposes. Commissioner Higgins suggested the item be amended to include a one-year transition for the elected sheriff to create a security plan for the County�s courthouses. Commissioner Heyman accepted the amendment which she said was to leave the County�s court bailiffs as independent officers for their current positions. She stated when the elected sheriff assumed office, that person could later determine if the responsibilities of the bailiffs would change. There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the item, as amended.
Special Item No. 8
	220800	Resolution	Joe A. Martinez
	RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING COUNTY POLICY FOR THE PROVISION OF MUNICIPAL POLICE AND OTHER SERVICES FOR MIAMI-DADE COUNTY; DIRECTING THE COUNTY MAYOR TO INVENTORY COUNTY EMPLOYEES, REAL PROPERTY, ASSETS, EQUIPMENT, CONTRACTS, GRANTS AND LICENSES USED BY THE MIAMI-DADE POLICE DEPARTMENT; CREATING A TRANSITION PLAN AND DRAFT AGREEMENTS FOR THE REESTABLISHMENT OF THE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY SHERIFF�S OFFICE; AND PROVIDING FOR PERIODIC REPORTS TO THE BOARD			Continued
	REPORT: County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read into the record the foregoing proposed resolution. Commissioner Martinez explained the intent of the foregoing resolution, which he stated provided the best fiscal and operational option for the County. Commissioner Martinez noted a comment made by the County Mayor about Special Items No. 3 and No. 12 regarding the Miami-Dade County Clerk of the Courts maintaining professionalism and integrity. He voiced his disapproval of her comment and the April 19, 2022, memorandum because of the perception that only persons appointed by the County Mayor had the qualities of professionalism, integrity and trustworthiness. Ms. Jennifer Moon, Chief of Office of Policy and Budgetary Affairs, responded to Commissioner Martinez�s inquiry regarding how a turnkey approach, which was recommended by her department, had the least impact on the daily operations and delivery of police services. She explained that from a budgetary perspective the budget would go from being under the Administration to a different entity; there would be no overhead staff and it was not necessary to add staff. She stated that if a department were to split, both entities would need more resources for certain activities, thereby incurring additional costs. Ms. Moon detailed several issues, which had to be addressed during the transition period, such as: - Placement of personnel; - Assurance that employees retained their benefits and seniority; - If the MDPD was split, it must be determined which employees would be kept; - The constitutional officers had to be ready to provide service upon taking office and needed existing employees available to provide services; - The need to access County support infrastructure and economies of scale; - The anticipation that constitutional officers of a large organization would want to maintain control over internal support and positions, which would be costly to the County; - The possibility of duplication of services; - If line item budget authority was limited, the County budget could increase, and - The leader of a large organization should have flexibility to address budgetary issues. Commissioner Martinez opined that the discussion should not be about authority, but about providing the best service to County residents and being fiscally responsible. Ms. Moon explained the funding and budgeting of the MDPD. She provided details about the services the MDPD provided to contract cities in the County, which was funded by the Unincorporated Municipal Service Area (UMSA) budget. She also elaborated that sheriff services were regional services funded by the County, while funding for specialized police services from the County was split in a complex formula. Discussion ensued regarding the MDPD budget and the transition to the Sheriff�s Office, wherein Commissioner Martinez cautioned on the possibility that when the Sheriff�s term began on January 7, 2025, the MDPD�s specialized police services for investigations could only provide assistance to cities without the specialized services. Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal explained that if the County decided to maintain a police force with specialized services, there could be a mutual aid agreement to provide the specialized services to municipalities. He stated however, the County could not turn over one municipality�s police duties to another municipality�s police duties. Ms. Moon elaborated, noting the potential issues with the budget including the complications of UMSA possibly providing police services to municipalities. Commissioner Martinez pointed out that the transition process would be complex and involved contract negotiations between the Administration and constitutional officers. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal explained possible mutual aid agreements between municipalities. Commissioner Heyman expressed concern with the foregoing proposed resolution and its impact on the cities and of potential financial burden to the County. She noted that the MDPD provided umbrella service throughout the County with unique police services. She asked about the cost to the cities for the specialized police services and which entity was financially responsible for the services. Commissioner Regalado noted that the cities were able to contract the Sheriff�s Office for services, noting that the Miami-Dade County Public School Board had its own police department, which was funded by a special bond agreement and the general fund. She offered that this s differed from other counties in that the Sheriff provided protection to the schools. Commissioner Regalado indicated that it was important to have equity of services for the County residents. Commissioner Regalado inquired how the Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department (MDCR) would be funded and handled by the Sheriff�s Office. Commissioner Martinez expressed that the discussion regarding the MDCR should be deferred until the next meeting. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal explained that according to the State of Florida statutes, municipalities were not allowed to make wholesale transfer of jurisdictions to other municipalities. Commissioner Martinez noted that the County should have good relations with the Sheriff�s Office. Discussion ensued regarding the hypothetical operations and jurisdiction of a police force for UMSA in regards to municipalities that contracted UMSA�s police force for services. Commissioner Martinez noted that while municipalities can contract UMSA for police services, the Sheriff�s Office would also have the same services, which had to be funded by the Board. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava asked for the time to explore options and the details of the transition in the hope that a mutually beneficial accord could be reached with the constitutional offices. She pointed out that the Administration intended to avoid duplication of services when possible, and opined it was less expensive to maintain the County�s status quo of providing consolidated and efficient services. Vice Chairman Gilbert III noted that the discussion was based on the idea that the incoming sheriff would accept the County�s plans and operations. He did not support granting complete authority to the Sheriff to provide services, which had to be budgeted and reviewed to avoid duplication of services. Commissioner Martinez explained that the turnkey approach, in which the County would transfer its assets and materials to the constitutional officer, enabled a smoother transition and be less expensive for the County. Vice Chairman Gilbert III pointed out that the Sheriff�s Office must also assume the County�s obligations and added that decisions regarding the transfer could not be done until it was known who was elected sheriff. He said the Board must be prepared to either implement the turnkey approach or bifurcate the County�s departments and services. Ms. Moon explained how the transition to the Sheriff�s Office could be considered an incorporation. She further elaborated that the County should provide reports about its services to the Sheriff�s Office and negotiate a transitional agreement with the Sheriff�s Office to provide services until the sheriff took office and made a final decision about the services. Vice Chairman Gilbert III pointed out that he considered the transitional process to be an incorporation. He opined that the County should not negotiate with the Sheriff�s Office until the Sheriff was elected. Commissioner Martinez expressed that decisions did not have to be made until the Sheriff was elected. Commissioner Regalado opined that a professional police chief was not a political appointee and within terms of providing municipal police services, a professional police chief was preferable. She recounted the history of an elected County sheriff whose illegal activities led to the elimination of the Sheriff�s Office in the County. Commissioner Martinez asked the County Attorney�s Office to research whether or not Palm Beach, Duval, and Pinellas Counties had their own school board police department. Commissioner Sosa indicated she was not in support of the foregoing proposed resolution. She recounted past issues with the Sheriff�s Office in the County before this office was eliminated. She stated that the item would transfer all functions by the MDPD, as well as, MDPD employees and other assets directly to the Sheriff�s Office. She noted that the County�s municipalities were not given the opportunity to provide feedback about the item and opined one person should not be given this much authority. Commissioner Sosa stated she was willing to work with Commissioner Regalado and Chairman Diaz to create fair proposals regarding this legislation. Commissioner McGhee questioned whether the Sheriff�s Office had any authority beyond their special duties or powers, which was not expressed in the State of Florida�s constitution. Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri of the Florida Sheriffs Association (FSA) replied that Florida Amendment 10 prohibited the transfer of the sheriff�s powers of duties to any other county or person. He elaborated that the Florida Statute empowered the sheriff with police authority. Sheriff Gualtieri acknowledged it was possible that the FSA could levy a lawsuit against the County if it bifurcated its police services. He added that the Sheriff had to be the provider of police services in UMSA. Commissioner McGhee inquired whether assurances could be made ensure that County residents in locales with limited police resources and activity would receive services that was not determined by the state. Sheriff Gualtieri assured Commissioner McGhee that the County residents would vote for best person as Sheriff and that the Board had oversight of the Sheriff Office�s budget. Commissioner McGhee voiced his concerns about the political association of any sheriff and that a lawsuit against the County was likely because of the support by several Board members for bifurcating police services. He advised that the County Attorney�s Office prepare for any forthcoming lawsuits. Commissioner Regalado apprised the Board that plaintiffs in UMSA that were preparing a lawsuit if the County�s police services were not bifurcated. She also noted that some commissioners needed equal time to discuss the item. Chairman Diaz responded that in the next meeting scheduled for June 6, 2022, other commissioners would be given the opportunity to discuss the item. The foregoing resolution was not heard during today�s (5/5) meeting; The Board recessed and announced it would reconvene on Monday, June 6, 2022 to hear the remaining agenda items.
