REPORT:
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan announced that today�s (6/6) meeting was a continuation of the May 5, 2022 BCC Special meeting to consider five remaining items (Special Items No. 1, 3, 8, 9 and 12). Chairman Diaz acknowledged that County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan read these items into the record during the May 5 meeting. He also confirmed with County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan that Special Items No. 1, 8 and 9 were to be discussed by the Board members.
Commissioner Martinez reminded the Board members that Special Item No. 1 directed the Administration to continue transitioning the Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) into the new Miami-Dade Sheriff�s Office (Sheriff�s Office). He opined the Administration should not negotiate with the new sheriff until he or she was elected. Commissioner Martinez expressed that bifurcating the MDPD into an Unincorporated Municipal Service Area (UMSA) police department would be costly for the County.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal informed the Board members there could be a mutual aid agreement between the County and its municipalities in regards to police services. He discussed with Commissioner Martinez the authority the County�s UMSA police force would have and its operational jurisdiction in the County in conjunction with the Sheriff�s Office and the municipalities� own police departments.
Mr. George Perez, Interim Director of the MDPD, explained the department�s current mutual aid agreements and jurisdiction for police services in the County.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal, Chairman Diaz and Commissioner Martinez further discussed the proposed UMSA police force and Sheriff�s Office and their jurisdictional authority.
Commissioner Heyman asked which agenda items (Special item 1, 8 or 9) maintained the MDPD and left its services intact after the sheriff was elected. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal replied that none of the items did this and detailed each of the three items being discussed and how they differed from one another.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal further detailed Special Item No. 8 which specified the authority and services the elected sheriff would assume from the current MDPD, while the other two items authorized the County to create and operate a municipal police force.
After Commissioner Heyman confirmed with Assistant County Rosenthal that Special Item No. 1 continued the police services currently provided by County, but under the elected sheriff, and that Special Item No. 8 left the County�s police services intact, but under the command of an elected sheriff, she suggested the items be combined.
Chairman Diaz noted the differences between Special Item No. 1 and Special Item No. 9.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal confirmed with Chairman Diaz that Special Item No. 1 itemized specialized services. Chairman Diaz opined the item encompassed what the County residents received in regards to police services.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III expressed negotiations with the Sheriff�s Office should occur after the sheriff was elected because the County should have its own police force.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III moved the item; Chairman Diaz seconded the motion and opened the item for discussion.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal informed Commissioner Sosa that Special Item No. 1 continued police services at UMSA and County facilities, such as the Miami International Airport and PortMiami, under the supervision of the Board and the County Mayor. He also told her that Special Item No. 1 itemized specialized police services, although they were not itemized in Special Item No. 9 the services were within the UMSA police force�s authority; Special Item No. 8 would transfer the authority to the Sheriff�s Office. Commissioner Sosa noted that residents in her district informed her they were satisfied with the MDPD and she opined the MDPD should be allowed to continue its operations.
Commissioner Regalado proposed an amendment to the foregoing resolution, which was clarified by Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal to add after the words �Real Time Crime Center� on page 9, section 1, of the item, �in the unincorporated municipal service area and by agreement with other municipalities within Miami-Dade County�. Chairman Diaz accepted the amendment.
Commissioner Regalado also withdrew Special Item No. 9 and requested to be co-prime sponsor of Special Item No. 1.
Commissioner Garcia opined that the item duplicated services, which would be costly to the County and expressed that a two-system approach to police services was not viable. He did not support the constitutional mandate to create the constitutional offices, but would respect the will of the voters and supported transferring all police authority to the Sheriff�s Office.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal reported that the County was entitled to exercise the powers that other municipalities throughout the state exercised. He continued that the items did not limit, change or transfer the sheriff�s constitutional authority, but the County could have its own municipal police force. He confirmed with Commissioner Garcia that the items did not remove any rights or responsibilities away from the County�s municipalities.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal informed Commissioner Monestime that the ballot measure, which created the Sheriff�s Office, did not abolish the municipal police forces in the County and that UMSA could be incorporated as a municipality. Commissioner Monestime opined that creating an UMSA police force was not an issue because of the existence of other municipal police forces in the County.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins inquired Mr. Perez if he supported Special Item No. 1. He supported the item because the MDPD would continue delivering public safety and police services in the County. He pointed out that the Sheriff�s Office could request assistance from the MDPD.
Commissioner McGhee inquired if the State of Florida could adopt legislation, which superseded the items. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal responded that the state had the authority to adopt general laws regarding the operations of constitutional offices throughout the state. He also answered Commissioner McGhee�s next question if the County was bound by state laws related to municipalities and unincorporated areas by stating it depended on the language of the laws and if they were applicable in the County. Commissioner McGhee indicated he was unsupportive of the item.
Chairman Diaz emphasized that the Board must honor the will of voters and the item provided the County with the ability to negotiate with the constitutional offices.
Commissioner Heyman spoke about Special Item No. 1 and Special Item No. 8 and the role and authority of the Sheriff�s Office and UMSA police force. She voiced her concerns about the cost of creating and operating another police department in the County if Special Item No. 1 was adopted. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal reported that the UMSA police force would be subject to the authority of the Board, while it could only approve the budgets of constitutional offices.
Commissioner Regalado opined the County residents living in UMSA should have the same representation as those who lived in municipalities. She commented that the Board members were obligated to protect the Home Rule of the County and serve UMSA.
Commissioner Monestime confirmed with Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal that after the sheriff assumed office in 2025 UMSA would be without a police force if Special Item No. 1 was not adopted.
Ms. Jennifer Moon, Chief Office of Policy and Budgetary Affairs, informed Commissioner Monestime that sheriffs in the state�s other counties were responsible for providing patrol services in unincorporated areas. Ms. Moon noted that the Board was able to create a police force for UMSA even if the Sheriff�s Office serviced UMSA, though this would create duplicate back office functions. Commissioner Monestime supported the item, as amended.
Commissioner Martinez opined the discussion was about which governing body would have jurisdiction over the police and the best option was to leave police services intact for the County by transferring authority to the Sheriff�s Office. He emphasized that the only changed that would occur when the Sheriff�s Office took over would be the name of the department, the uniforms and the title of the person running the department. He reiterated that the item would lead to a costly duplication of services if the MDPD was divided.
Commissioner Higgins voiced her support for the resolution. She opined that County residents favored a duplication of police services and she expressed that an UMSA police force would continue providing safety to the residents. She noted that unlike other constitutional offices, an organizational infrastructure already existed with the MDPD, which made a transition to the Sheriff�s Office easier.
County Attorney Rosenthal proffered an additional amendment to change the due date of reports noted on page 10, section 4 of the item from June 1, 2022 to August 1, 2022.
Commissioner Sosa confirmed with County Attorney Rosenthal that the Sheriff�s Office could negotiate agreements with other municipalities, and the item would protect UMSA as another municipality.
It was moved by Vice Chairman Gilbert III to adopt the foregoing resolution as amended. This motion was seconded by Chairman Diaz and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 9-4 (Commissioners Martinez, McGhee, Heyman and Garcia voted no).

Vote: 10 - 3
No: Heyman , Martinez , Diaz

REPORT:
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan noted that the Board members would vote upon Special Items No. 3 and 12.
Honorable Clerk Harvey Ruvin, Miami-Dade County Clerk of the Courts, voiced his concerns with an amendment proposed by Commissioner Regalado during the May 5, 2022 Special Board meeting, which stated as follows:
�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 (c) 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.�
Clerk Ruvin voiced his support for the item, but did not support the amendment. He opined that bifurcating the Clerk�s duties outlined in the item would increase costs, the will of the voters must be implemented, and the County and the Clerk of the Courts should continue with the transition.
Commissioner Regalado expressed her concerns that despite the good relations the County had with the department, the Clerk of the Courts would administrate a finance department for the County. She recalled that a special law bifurcated similar duties for the Broward County Clerk of Courts. She opined the amendment would prevent future issues and urged the State of Florida to pass legislation to bifurcate the duties outlined in the item.
Commissioner Sosa voiced her support for the amendment because of the precedent set by Broward County with the special law, while Commissioner Martinez voiced his support only for the item itself.
Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal explained the differences between Special Item No. 3 and Special Item No. 12. He noted that Special Item No. 3 included a benchmarking study by the Office of Policy and Budgetary Affairs, which was amended to study ten counties rather than twenty and had an August 15, 2022 due date for an inventory report. In Special Item No. 3, the inventory report was due on June 15, 2022 and had a provision for a long-term transition plan. He also clarified the amendment proffered by Commissioner Regalado.
Commissioner Heyman noted that the issue was with the circuit court, which in this case was the County�s Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. It differed from Broward�s circuit court in that the County only had one circuit court. She was unsupportive of the item if the amendment was accepted.
Clerk Ruvin noted there were issues that led to the special law in Broward County and it would not serve the public�s interest to separate the duties in Miami-Dade County.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal detailed the new functions of the Clerk of the Courts as noted in the item. He also specified how it differed from the proposed amendment and the special law in Broward County. Commissioner Sosa voiced her concerns with the item and expressed that the County should have continued access to its financial records.
Commissioner Higgins confirmed with Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal that with the item the Clerk of the Courts was fiscally responsible for the County�s payroll, vendors and other bills instead of the County. Chief Financial Officer Edward Marquez provided details about how the County currently paid its bills. Commissioner Higgins opined the item would take fiscal responsibility away from the County and stressed the importance of the amendment. Commissioner Monestime agreed with her.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III supported the item and the amendment. He also commented that the legislation provided for a strong County Mayor who was financially responsible.
Commissioner Regalado reminded the Board members the amendment was just an urging to the state to amend their legislation and offered to advocate for the amendment with the state.
Chairman Diaz noted he initially opposed the amendment but acknowledged the discussion raised many issues. He commended Clerk Ruvin for his service and the relationship his department had with the County. However, Chairman Diaz noted that even if Clerk Ruvin indicated current operations would not change, eventually a new constitutional officer would be elected to replace Clerk Ruvin and could implement changes in the department and with operations. Chairman Diaz and Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal discussed how the Clerk�s duties would change in 2025. In regards to earlier discussion about the incoming Miami-Dade County Sheriff (See Special Item No. 1 Amended, Legislative File No. 221383), Chairman Diaz pointed out that with the Clerk of the Courts, there already was a constitutional officer in place who would assume additional responsibilities. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal confirmed the Florida Legislature had to pass a law, which allowed the County to create a new office to assume the duties outlined in the amendment.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal explained the differences between Special Item No. 3 and Special Item No. 12, and provided details about the amendment to Commissioner Martinez.
Commissioner Heyman emphasized that the Florida Legislature should not divide the duties of the Clerk of the Courts.
Commissioner Regalado noted that daily County operations would be impeded without the amendment and suggested that Clerk Ruvin and unsupportive Board members advocate against the amendment with the state.
Following further discussion with Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal, Chairman Diaz accepted the amendment because it was only an urging to the Florida Legislature and the Clerk of the Courts initial duties would be intact. Chairman Diaz asked for input from Clerk Ruvin, who remained unsupportive of the amendment.
Chairman Diaz announced that both items would not be combined and that he would not make a motion on Special Item No. 3.
Commissioner Regalado confirmed with Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal that Special Item No. 12 would include a benchmarking study by the Office of Policy and Budgetary Affairs, which was amended to study ten counties rather than twenty and had an August 15, 2022 due date for an inventory report.
It was moved by Commissioner Regalado to adopt the item as amended. This motion was seconded by Vice Chairman Gilbert III, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 10-3 (Chairman Diaz and Commissioners Martinez and Heyman voted no).

Presented

REPORT:

She pointed out that during meetings with the Florida Sheriffs Association (FSA), they indicated to her that they preferred a constitutional amendment which established the requirements.
