REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE HEARD AS PROVIDED IN RULE 6.06
|
| |
| |
REPORT:
Chairman Diaz reviewed the County Commission Rules of Decorum, and opened the reasonable opportunity for the public to be heard.
The following persons appeared before the Board:
1. Judge Nushin Sayfie, Chief Judge, Eleventh Judicial Circuit, 175 NW 1 Avenue, Miami, Florida, appeared in support of Agenda 8F9. She thanked the Board for their continued efforts and support for the new courthouse building. Judge Sayfie noted that the technical component for the contract had been excluded from the original bid contract and reiterated her support for the award to Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI). She voiced her concerns about any delays in the awarding of the contract and its impact on the judiciary and public.
2. Judge Jennifer Bailey, Administrative Judge, Eleventh Judicial Circuit, 73 West Flagler, Miami, Florida, spoke in support of Agenda Item 8F9. She pointed out that the item was not seeking additional funding and noted that money had been set aside during the original procurement process. Judge Bailey explained the technical component was excluded from the original bid contract because there were concerns that the technology would become obsolete during the process.
3. Mr. Steve Gallon III, School Board member, Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), 1450 NE 2 Avenue, Miami, Florida, appeared in support of Agenda Item 11A7. He spoke about the importance of the item and thanked Vice Chairman Gilbert III for sponsoring it.
4. Dr. Jose L. Dotres, Superintendent, Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), 1450 NE 2 Avenue, Miami, Florida, spoke in support of Agenda Item 11A7. He echoed the comments made by Mr. Gallon III, and reviewed the intent of the item. Dr. Dotres noted that the State funding was insufficient to serve the needs of M-DCPS. He explained that in the event the voters approved the proposed referendum in November, the ad valorem tax would be effective from July 2023 through June 2027, following the expiration of the current referendum.
5. Ms. Luisa Santos, M-DCPS School Board member, 1450 NE 2 Avenue, Miami, Florida, appeared in support for Agenda Item 11A7.
6. Lieutenant Alejandro Palacio, Miami-Dade Schools Police Department/President, Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) for Miami-Dade Schools Police, 330 NW 27 Avenue, Miami, Florida, appeared on behalf of the FOP in support of Agenda Item 11A7.
7. Ms. Karla Hernandez-Mats, President, United Teachers of Dade, 5553 NW 36 Street, Miami, Florida, appeared in support of Agenda Item 11A7. She spoke about the national teacher shortage and how funding provided much needed help and support to educators.
8. Mr. Sherman Rattner, President, 1809 Brickell Tenant Association, 1809 Brickell Avenue, Miami, Florida, spoke on Agenda Item 9A2. He spoke about the current housing market and offered to meet with the commissioners to review ideas on how to create more affordable and senior housing for the community.
9. Mr. Carl E. Bey, 5150 NW 2 Avenue, Miami, Florida, appeared on behalf of the Veteran�s Business Coalition, in support of the reconstitution of the Model City Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA).
10. Mr. Roy Hardemon, Chairman, Model City Advisory Board, voiced his frustration about the lack of financial and infrastructural investments made to redevelop 18 Avenue. He noted the funds were allocated and remain unspent, and emphasized the importance of building a place to facilitate business in the area.
11. Mr. Warrick Norman, Principal, Vantage Advisors LLC. and Chief Compliance Officer for the Veteran�s Business Coalition, 2365 NW 182 Terrace, Miami, Florida, appeared in support of the Model City.

14. Ms. Susan Khoury, 8227 SW 82 Place, Miami, Florida, spoke in relation to Agenda Item 11A7 and 11A12.
15. Ms. Evelyn Brown, Community Volunteer, 6100 NW 24 Avenue, Miami, Florida, appeared on behalf of concerned residents in the West Liberty City area in opposition of Agenda Item 5Q.

Earlier in the meeting, Chairman Diaz opened the public hearing for all items (Agenda Items 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D,5E, 5F, 5I, 5J, 5K, 5K1, 5L, 5M, 5N, 5O, 5P,5Q, 5R, 5S, and 5U).
The following person appeared before the Board:
Ms. Mary Waters, 13600 SW 229 Street, Miami, Florida, questioned the renaming of the center citing the County�s renaming rules and policies.
There being no other persons appearing to speak, Chairman Diaz closed the public hearing.
Responding to the comments made by Ms. Waters, Commissioner Cohen Higgins reviewed the intent of the foregoing item and emphasized the importance of recognizing the contributions made by former Dade County Commissioner Dennis c. Moss to the South-Dade community. She spoke about Commissioner McGhee efforts and contribution to the item and thanked him for allowing her to be a co-prime sponsor.
Commissioner McGhee recognized former Dade County Commissioner Moss� contributions to the South-Dade area, and spoke about his efforts to bring relief to the area following Hurricane Andrew. He stressed the importance of honoring individuals while they were still alive, and concluded that renaming the center was an appropriate gesture given the fact that Commissioner Moss� championed for the development of arts in South-Dade.
Commissioner McGhee thanked Commissioner Cohen Higgins for being a co-prime sponsor of the item.
Chairman Diaz echoed the comments made by Commissioners Cohen Higgins and McGhee regarding the importance of recognizing and honoring Commissioner Moss� contributions to the South-Dade area, specifically in the arts arena.
Commissioner Sosa thanked her colleagues for allowing her the opportunity to be a co-sponsor and spoke about Commissioner Moss� contributions to the Board of County Commissioners.
Commissioner Souto spoke about his experience working alongside Commissioner Moss.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins advised that a celebration event would be held to commemorate the renaming and invited her colleagues to attend.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava noted that while the center was situated in commission district 8, as the former district commissioner, she always believed the center should have been built in commission district 9 because of Commissioner Moss� advocacy and commitment to building the facility and contributions to the arts.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III, Commissioners Souto and Monestime requested they be added as co-sponsors.
There being no further comments or objections, the Board members proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.

REPORT:
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the titles of the proposed public hearing items (Agenda Items 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D,5E, 5F, 5I, 5J, 5K, 5K1, 5L, 5M, 5N, 5O, 5P,5Q, 5R, 5S, and 5U) into the record.
Earlier in the meeting, Chairman Diaz opened the public hearing for all items (Agenda Items 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D,5E, 5F, 5I, 5J, 5K, 5K1, 5L, 5M, 5N, 5O, 5P,5Q, 5R, 5S, and 5U); and there being no persons appearing to speak, closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Martinez requested clarification regarding comments provided by staff during the agenda briefing about the proposed use of funds for transit projects not originally approved by the electorate. He pointed out that Board members in the past had refused to approve projects that were not a part of the People�s Transportation Plan (PTP), and questioned the intent of the foregoing item. Commissioner Martinez commented on recently adopted State legislation, which would prohibit the Board of County Commissioners (Board) from adding and approving transit items not previously approved by the voters.
Mr. David Clodfelter, Director, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), explained the foregoing item included specific public works and bus related projects that were not originally included in �Exhibit 1� of the PTP approved by the electorate.
Commissioner Martinez asked whether the foregoing item sought approval to fund approximately $150 million in projects not previously included in the �Exhibit 1� list
Mr. Robert Villar, Chief Financial Officer, Miami-Dade Transportation and Public Works Department (DTPW), confirmed the approximate amount was accurate, and clarified that the foregoing proposed ordinance did not authorize the projects. He stated the item would finance projects currently a part of the adopted budget and the Citizen�s Independent Transportation Trust (CITT) 5-year plan.
Commissioner Martinez voiced his concerns regarding the lack of detail provided regarding the proposed projects included in the item. He spoke about his efforts to complete the widening of 157 Ave from 8 Street to Bird Road, which has yet to be completed despite the funding being available.
Chief Operations Officer Jimmy Morales, Office of the Mayor, clarified that the projects were added by the Board. He further explained that the projects had to be included at this time otherwise the recently adopted State legislation would prohibit the Board from utilizing PTP funds.
Commissioner Martinez emphasized that the items in question were not a part of the original �Exhibit 1� list approved by the electorate.
Discussion ensued between Vice Chairman Gilbert III and Mr. Morales regarding the limitations outlined by the new State legislation regarding the use of funds on specific public works related projects.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III stated he could not support the foregoing item. He maintained that the ongoing decision to allocate funds to projects that were not a part of the original PTP approved by the electorate would ultimately lead to funds being taken away from projects needed and supported by the public.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III suggested the administration explore solutions that would complete projects approved by the electorate, or as an alternative go back to the public and advise that the original PTP projects cannot be done.
Commissioner McGhee concurred with the comments made by Vice Chairman Gilbert III. He expressed his concerns regarding the proposed projects and questioned whether they fell within the scope of what was approved by the electorate.
Commissioner McGhee pointed out that some of the proposed projects fell outside the original scope; therefore, he could not support the item as presented.
Addressing the comments and concerns made by Vice Chairman Gilbert III and Commissioner McGhee, Mr. Morales suggested deferring the item for further discussion, but cautioned the Board members that the proposed projects would go unfunded after October 1, 2022, if the foregoing item was not approved.
Chairman Diaz echoed the comments made by Vice Chairman Gilbert III and Commissioner McGhee. He asked if there were contractual agreements in place for the proposed projects and questioned whether there was enough time for the administration to address the Board�s concerns before October 1, 2022.
Mr. Morales requested the item be deferred to the July 19, 2022 Board meeting to provide the administration time to gather additional information on the projects and to meet with the Board members regarding the item.
Commissioner Regalado pointed out that the half-penny ordinance was adopted almost 20 years ago. She maintained that the County had not been honest about what could actually be accomplished with regards to the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Program and stated more conversation was needed to determine which projects could be completed or expedited in today�s economic climate.
Commissioner Sosa requested a list of projects approved by the electorate be provided to the Board members so those projects could be prioritized.
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan noted that Agenda Item 5F was the accompanying �Series� resolution and requested clarification as to whether both items (Agenda Items 5E and 5F) were being deferred.
Chairman Diaz confirmed that it was the Board�s intent to defer both Agenda Items 5F and 5G.
There being no further comments or objections, the foregoing item was deferred to the July 19, 2022 Board meeting.

REPORT:
Pursuant to the Chairman�s Order of the Day, the foregoing annexation items (Agenda Item 5G, 5H, 8G1, 8G2 and 8G3) were considered at 10:00 a.m.
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the titles of the Agenda Items 5G, 5H, 8G1, 8G2 and 8G3 into the record.
Chairman Diaz opened the public hearing and requested speakers limit their comments to one (1) minute.
City of Miami Springs (City) Mayor Maria Puente Mitchell, 201 Westward Drive, Miami Springs, Florida, appeared in support of the foregoing item and requested the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve the annexation request. She stated the annexation was needed to facilitate the City�s continued growth and diversify land use. City Mayor Mitchell noted, pursuant to the Board�s previous comments, that her administration had collaborated with the other four (4) municipalities to bring forth the four (4) city annexation request. She commented on the new opportunities the annexation would create for residents and business owners and reported that the City�s residents had voted in favor of the annexation in two (2) elections. City Mayor Mitchell spoke about the City�s intent to continue working with the businesses and the County to potentially make capital improvements to the annexed area and lower the City�s millage rate. She noted that the City planned to hire new police and municipal staff to provide the necessary level of service for residents of the annexed area. City Mayor Mitchell concluded that the application would benefit the residents and community, and requested the Board approve the application.
The following persons appeared before the Board in opposition of the item:
1. Mr. Carlos D. Lopez, Business owner, Miami Film Connection, 6925 NW 51 Street, Miami, Florida
2. Mr. Jorge Guttman, Attorney, Gunster Law Firm, 600 Brickell Avenue, Miami, Florida, appeared on behalf of 15 property/business owners and voiced his objection to the one (1) minute timeframe provided for comments. He advised the Board members that he had submitted a letter on behalf of the property owners (See Exhibit) and offered to review his clients� objections to the annexation request.
3. Mr. Ricardo Corona, Attorney and Business owner, 7074 NW 50th Street, Miami, Florida, referenced the area�s enormous business community and contended that none of the Miami Springs residents that voted in favor of the annexation owned a business in the area. He noted that the business owners paid for garbage pick-up, security and maintenance. Mr. Corona voiced his concerns about the City�s millage rate and its impact on the businesses.
4. Mr. Antonio Blavia, 7210 NW 56 Street, Miami, Florida
5. Ms. Monica Zanardi, 7060 NW 50 Street, Miami, Florida
6. Mr. Seth Woods, 7980 SW 99 Street, Miami, Florida, stated his intent to submit for the record a petition containing 60 signatures of property owners opposing the annexation
7. Ms. Ana McDaniel, 5800 NW 74 Avenue, Miami, Florida
8. Mr. Nicolas Garrido, Gorrido Holding Company, LLC, 7258 NW 66 Street, Miami, Florida
9. Mr. Gabriel Marttos, Costex Replacement Caterpillar Parts, 5800 NW 74 Avenue, Miami, Florida
10. Ms. Melissa Uribe Gil, Costex Replacement Caterpillar Parts, 5800 NW 74 Ave, Miami, Florida

13. Mr. Juan Hidalgo, President, UnikTrans Corporation, 7218 NW 56 Street, Miami, Florida

15. Ms. Rosemary Fernandez, 5800 NW 74 Avenue, Miami, Florida
16. Mr. Kristofer Machado, 98 SE 7 Street, Miami, Florida
17. Mr. Chuck Malkus, 5800 NW 74 Avenue, Miami, Florida
18. Mr. Derick Ferrao, 5149 NW 74 Avenue, Miami, Florida
19. Mr. Florentino Fernandez, 105 NW 132 Avenue, Miami, Florida
There being no other persons appearing to speak, Chairman Diaz closed the public hearing.
Referencing comments made by one of the speakers that the foregoing annexation request violated the County�s Home Rule Charter (Charter) Section 6.04, Commissioner Sosa requested the County Attorney�s Office to provide clarification regarding the speaker�s claim.
Assistant County Attorney James Kirtley reviewed the provisions listed under Section 6.04, and explained that the Board was allowed to consider whether commercial areas should be included within the boundaries of the proposed area to be annexed for the benefit of increasing the tax base.
Commissioner Sosa spoke about her unsuccessful efforts to sponsor legislation, which would have provided business owners the opportunity to vote on annexation requests. She noted that there were concerns that her proposal would have given some residents the ability to vote twice which ultimately led to the legislation�s failure to pass. Commissioner Sosa commented on the history of the foregoing annexation request and noted that her Miami Springs constituents had voted in favor of the annexation on two (2) separated occasions. She acknowledged the resolutions adopted by the City of Miami Springs, City of Virginia Gardens and City of Medley, memorializing their commitment to lowering their respective millage rates and taxes.
Commissioner Sosa voiced her support for the foregoing annexation request and noted the annexation would not create an enclave.
Chairman Diaz noted that several of the municipalities had provided proposed millage/tax rates.
Commissioner Sosa questioned whether the mitigation fees could be eliminated by the Board or used to further lower taxes. She asked the County Attorney�s Office to research whether the waiver could be done as a pilot program with the caveat that the fees would be used to lower taxes, and in the event this was not done, then the mitigation fees would be re-implemented and enforced.
Assistant County Attorney Monica Rizo stated that the mitigation payments were required by County Code and elimination of the fees would require a waiver of the ordinance with a majority vote. She assured the Board members that the County Attorney�s Office had reviewed the pilot option, and advised against the waiver. Assistant County Attorney Rizo explained that the proposed pilot waiver would be problematic in light of the Board�s ability to impose the fees to begin with, and the provision that the waiver was dependent on the City�s millage rate. She pointed out that the mitigation fees benefited the Unincorporated Municipal Service Areas (UMSA), and the City�s millage rates were set annually.
Commissioner Sosa explained the intent of the pilot waiver was to ensure the municipalities honored their commitments and representations about lowering the millage/tax rates.
Assistant County Attorney Rizo suggested the mitigation payments be imposed as recommended by staff for a period of seven (7) years, with a condition that a report be provided annually to the Board regarding the municipalities� millage rates and UMSA�s financial status. She stated the Board could then decide whether the fees should be forgiven moving forward.
Responding to Commissioner Sosa�s request for clarification as to the Board�s action today (7/7), Assistant County Attorney Rizo explained the foregoing proposed resolution directed the County Attorney�s Office (CAO) to work with the administration to prepare the ordinance and the interlocal agreements. She stated the ordinance and interlocal agreements would return to the Board for consideration and clarified that the annexation would not be approved with the Board�s action today (7/7).
Commissioner Sosa requested the resolutions adopted by the municipalities to reduce the millage rates be included in the interlocal agreements.
Commissioner Martinez stated that while the City of Miami Springs' residential property owners supported the annexation request, the commercial property owners would be impacted the most. He spoke about the fiscal impact of the annexation process on the business owners and noted that staff estimated each commercial property owner would pay an additional $6433 in taxes annually if the annexation was approved. Commissioner Martinez pointed out that the City of Sweetwater also made representations that they would lower the millage rates when their annexation request was considered, and emphasized that the rates were never lowered. He thanked the public for appearing, and noted they would have another opportunity to address the Board when the final annexation item returned for consideration.
Commissioner Martinez stated he could not support any of the annexation requests before the Board today (7/7) given the fact that commercial property owners� were not allowed to vote on the matter. He advised his colleagues that he was working on legislation to address commercial property owners� interests in the annexation process; and spoke about the importance of giving all residents a voice in the process.
Commissioner Souto pointed out that municipalities� millage rates were higher than the County�s and voiced his concerns about the financial impact of the annexation process on commercial property owners. He stressed the importance of maintaining comfortable rates for residents and business owners alike and noted the Board could not control the millage rate once the City of Miami Springs gained jurisdiction of the area.
Commissioner Regalado pointed out that residential property owners benefited the most in annexation proceedings involving commercial properties because it lowered the taxes paid by the residents. She recognized that annexations changed City�s characteristics, and acknowledged that the foregoing annexation request had been in progress for 19 years. Commissioner Regalado concurred with the County Attorneys� concerns about tethering the mitigation fees to the millage rate and noted the mitigation legislation only considered the fiscal impact to the County from losing the annexed area.
Commissioner Regalado stated that while the mitigation legislation did not address millage rates and the County was unable to legally force a municipality to reduce the millage rate; the County maintained the ability to create another vehicle to ensure the representations being made by the municipalities would be honored. She pointed out that the Mayors for each of the municipalities seeking annexation had represented to the Board that they would lower their respective millage rates because they would be increasing their municipality�s budget by gaining the extra properties. Commissioner Regalado recognized that similar representations had been made in the past and were not honored, and suggested the Board consider creating a mechanism by which the County could recapture the annexed areas if the municipalities did not lower the millage rates.
Responding to Commissioner Regalado�s question as to whether there was a process in place for the County to recapture an annexed area, Assistant County Attorney Rizo explained that the County�s Charter required the impacted municipalities consent to the recapture.
Commissioner Regalado asked if the County would be permitted to negotiate the recapture consent as part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in light of the representations made by the municipalities� via the legislation they adopted regarding their intent to lower the millage rates.
Assistant County Attorney Rizo assured the Board members that the CAO would explore the recapture consent option. She reiterated the CAO�s concerns were related to the setting of the millage rates, which were governed by State Law; and commented on existing case law, which prevented millage rates from being set based on self-imposed legislation.
Commissioner Regalado reviewed the intent of her recapture proposal and how it could be effectuated.
Assistant County Attorney Rizo confirmed that the Board was permitted to request the municipality�s consent to de-annex a property in the event the City did not honor the representations and/or commitments made to the Board.
Commissioner Heyman reminded her colleagues that the Planning Advisory Board (PAB) had denied the foregoing annexation request in May 2019 and referred to Exhibit 3 of the Mayor�s memorandum. She asked if there had been any changes since the PAB�s findings and inquired about the basis for the denial.
Mr. Jorge Fernandez, Deputy Director, Office of Management and Budget, advised that there were no changes to the City of Miami Springs� annexation request since its submittal in May 2019 that would have changed the PAB�s findings. He stated that while he could not comment on the PAB members� decision to deny the application, there were extensive discussions by the PAB regarding the financial impact on commercial property owners and the municipality�s millage rates. Mr. Fernandez suggested the Board review the PAB minutes for additional information regarding the discussions and the PAB�s findings and decisions.
Commissioner Heyman voiced her concerns regarding the lack of background information in the PAB�s resolution item and suggested summations be submitted to the Board which could provide more insight and information. She reiterated her reservations regarding the foregoing annexation request based on comments and observations made by colleagues and the PAB�s denial.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III indicated his support for the foregoing item. He suggested modifying the annexation process to allow requests to be considered during the County�s and City�s budget process since annexation impacted the millage rates for both entities. Vice Chairman Gilbert III voiced his concerns about the recapture proposal and provided scenarios where maintaining a lower millage rate was not always feasible despite the municipality�s best intent to do so.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III stated his primary concern regarding the foregoing annexation request was whether it would impact the Rapid Transit Zone (RTZ) and the industrial properties situated along the RTZ corridors. He noted that Mr. Nathan Kogon, Assistant Director, Development Services, Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) had informed him, that the request would not impact the County�s transit goals and policies. Vice Chairman Gilbert III reiterated his belief that the Board should consider annexation and large budgetary items at the same time, during consideration of the County�s overall budget.
Commissioner Sosa noted the Doral annexation request was approved at the last Board meeting and commented on the importance of the Board ensuring a fair process for all. She pointed out the foregoing annexation request involved the Cities of Doral, Miami Springs, Virginia Gardens and Medley.
Commissioner Sosa read into the record portions of the annexation request as it pertained to the Fire and Library Districts, and facilities of countywide significance, which emphasized the County�s protection, and oversight of the area. She concurred with the comments made by Commissioner Regalado and asked the CAO to work with the administration to explore alternative options including a recapture clause. Commissioner Sosa reiterated the importance of the Board ensuring a fair process and argued since the Board approved Doral�s annexation request it would be unfair to deny the other municipalities. She emphasized the foregoing item was simply the first step in the annexation process and there was still time to continue working with the municipalities to address the Board�s concerns.
Commissioner Souto advocated for small business owners and maintained that Miami�s high cost of living directly impacted millage rates, thus lowering affordability.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins emphasized the importance of considering annexation requests on an individual basis. She pointed out that while the Board had approved Doral�s annexation request it was based on the fact that Doral�s millage rate was the same as the County�s (1.9 percent (1.9%)).
Commissioner Cohen Higgins noted the City of Miami Springs� current millage rate was 7.9 percent (7.9%), and contended even with the proposed reduction to 3.9 percent (3.9%) or 4.8 percent (4.8%), as outlined in the City�s resolution, this would still present an extraordinary financial burden on business owners that did not approve of the annexation to begin with. She questioned the decision to raise taxes on commercial property owners given the current economic climate, and stated that it was understandable that the residential property owners supported the annexation because it would ultimately result in a decrease in their taxes.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins argued that while the residential property owners chose to live in the area despite the millage rate, the commercial property owners did not have a voice in the decision and would bear the financial burden of the annexation. She urged her colleagues to consider the financial implications of increasing taxes on small business owners and maintained that the businesses would be forced to pass down the additional costs to the residents of County.
Addressing comments made by some of the speakers, Chairman Diaz reassured his colleagues and the public that the foregoing annexation request complied with all State and County requirements. He clarified that today�s (7/7) proceedings was the first step in the process, and recognized that many people disagreed with the annexation process entirely.
Chairman Diaz stated his intent to support the item if the cities honored their commitments, and concurred with comments made by his fellow commissioners that the annexation process needed to be reviewed and modified for greater transparency and to better serve the community.
Responding to Chairman Diaz�s question as to whether commercial property owners were allowed to vote twice in annexation proceedings, Assistant County Attorney Kirtley explained that individuals were only allowed to vote based on their residency. He stated there were informal ways to solicit opinions from business owners such as surveys, and reiterated that commercial property owners were not entitled to vote twice.
Commissioner Monestime requested clarification as to the final outcome of the Board�s action today, and questioned the reason the request remained outstanding for 19 years. He also inquired about the land-use composition for the area being annexed, and the total tax base for the City of Miami-Springs.
Assistant County Attorney Kirtley advised the Board members that the foregoing item directed the CAO to prepare an ordinance to affect the boundary change. He stated the annexation process would be approved through the ordinance after today�s (7/7) meeting, along with consideration of the interlocal agreements.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Monestime and Assistant County Attorney Kirtley about the current annexation process and whether there had been any changes since the foregoing request was filed.
Chairman Diaz explained that the County�s 4-year annexation moratorium beginning in 2008 substantially slowed down the process.
Mr. Fernandez stated the area was entirely commercial and reported the 2021 preliminary tax roll for the proposed annexation area was $1.105 billion.
Commissioner Monestime pointed out that the area in question was 1.9 square miles in size and purely commercial/industrial. He spoke about the Board�s previous decisions on similar requests and stated he could not support the item because of the fiscal impact many on the commercial property owners.
Commissioner Monestime echoed comments made by Commissioner Cohen Higgins regarding the trickle- down effect on consumers, and concurred that small business owners should not be forced to pay more taxes in the current economic climate.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III contended that not all cities attempting to annex a commercial area were similarly situated. He pointed out the Board�s early policies resulted in cities being created without commercial and industrial properties, such as the City of Miami Gardens; and spoke about the importance of ensuring diverse land-use in municipalities. He insisted the commercial property issue was not unique to the City of Miami Springs, but was evident throughout the County.
Commissioner Regalado stated that while she agreed with Vice Chairman Gilbert�s III assessment of the annexation issue as it pertained to commercial properties, she believed that the Board needed to develop a system to assist annexed commercial and industrial areas. She reiterated her recommendation for commercial property owners to be given a straw ballot vote to voice their opinions, and argued this would not violate the Florida Statute. Commissioner Regalado pointed out that the Board changed the annexation policies related to connectivity prior to considering the City of Sweetwater annexation request and restated her request for a mechanism to be implemented by which the County could recapture properties if municipalities did not honor the representations made regarding provision of services and/or lowering taxes. She suggested the straw ballot component also be included in the new recapture process
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Regalado and Assistant County Attorney Rizo regarding the application and timeframe for the proposed recapture clause.
Commissioner Regalado stated it was her intent that the recapture clause be applicable to the four (4) annexation requests before the Board today (7/7) and all future annexation requests.
In response to Commissioner Regalado�s request, Assistant County Attorney Rizo stated the CAO would explore options to include the recapture provision in the four (4) existing annexation requests as well as create policies for future annexation requests.
Commissioner Sosa stated a larger discussion was needed to address annexation policies and concerns. She pointed out that many smaller cities lacked the ability to lower taxes while larger municipalities continued to annex commercial areas and benefited from lower taxes. Commissioner Sosa argued the only way for smaller cities to lower taxes was to annex commercial and industrial areas
There being no further comments or objections, the Board members proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.
Chairman Diaz announced that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) would recess for lunch until 1:30 p.m.

REPORT:
Following the lunch recess, the Board reconvened at 2:00 p.m.; and the following Board of County Commission (Board) members were present: Chairman Diaz, Vice Chairman Gilbert III, Commissioners Hardemon, Heyman, McGhee, Monestime, Sosa and Souto.
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the titles of the Agenda Items 5G, 5H, 8G1, 8G2 and 8G3 into the record.
Chairman Diaz opened the public hearing and the following persons appeared before the Board:
1. Village of Virginia Gardens (Village) Mayor Fred Spencer Deno IV, 3770 NW 64 Avenue, Miami, Florida, spoke about the annexation of 450 acres from the Village to help build the Miami International Airport. He reviewed the history of the Village�s current annexation petition, and noted the Planning Advisory Board (PAB) recommended approval. Referencing comments made regarding the City of Doral and City of Aventura�s low millage rates, Mayor Deno IV contended the City of Doral�s (City) combined millage rate and debt service amount made the City�s millage rate more than the County�s. He pointed out that the Village did not have a debt service and reported the Village�s current millage rate was 4.9 percent (4.9%). Mayor Deno IV noted the Village�s last annexation request proposed a millage rate between 2 percent (2%) and 2.5 percent (2.5%), and argued that it was unfair for the County to now impose mitigation fees on the Village�s current annexation request since the mitigation fee was last imposed in 2003. He advised the Board members that the Village�s intent was to reduce the millage rate to an amount between 2.5 percent (2.5%) and 3 percent (3%).
2. Mr. Waldo Caram, Director, Eagle Brands Sales (EBS), 3201 NW 72 Avenue, Miami, Florida, spoke in opposition of the item. He noted that EBS had been operating from the same location since 1984, and voiced his concerns regarding the fiscal impact of the annexation on the business operations and employees.
3. Ms. Mariella Marrero, 2323 NW 72 Avenue, Miami, Florida requested clarification regarding the maps included in the annexation documentation available online. She noted the maps for Miami Gardens and Miami Springs depict an enclave, which was not listed in the Village�s application.
4. Mr. Ross Toyne, 25 SE 2 Avenue, Miami, Florida, appeared on behalf of MTP Investments in opposition of the item and refuted the Village�s claims regarding the benefits of annexation contended. He also argued that the �contiguity� requirement of 500 feet had not been met by the application.
5. Mr. Rolando Ayo, 2509 NW 74 Avenue, Miami, Florida, stated that he was satisfied with the services provided by the County and voiced his opposition to the item.
6. Mr. Dick Miller, Owner, Reliatex Inc. 2201 NW 72 Avenue, Miami, Florida, noted that his company has been at same location for 52 years. He spoke about the increasing operational costs and stated could not afford an increase in taxes. Mr. Miller referred to mailers he received regarding the expansion of the Airport Authority property and asked if it was the County�s intent to exercise eminent domain on the impacted properties.
There being no other persons appearing to speak, Chairman Diaz closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Sosa listed the facilities and areas designated as �Countywide significance� and emphasized that the County would maintain oversight of the identified facilities/areas. She reviewed the merits of the item and indicated her support.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins voiced her support for the item. She spoke about the importance of considering applications on an individual basis and pointed out that the Planning Advisory Board recommended approval.
Commissioner Martinez argued the business owners did not have a voice in the decision. He pointed out the Village�s current millage rate would never be as low as the County�s even with further decreases.
Commissioner Souto renewed the comments he made with regards to the previous annexation application (Agenda Item 5G).
There being no further comments or objections, the Board members proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.

REPORT:
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the titles of the proposed public hearing items (Agenda Items 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D,5E, 5F, 5I, 5J, 5K, 5K1, 5L, 5M, 5N, 5O, 5P,5Q, 5R, 5S, and 5U) into the record.
Earlier in the meeting, Chairman Diaz opened the public hearing for all items (Agenda Items 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D,5E, 5F, 5I, 5J, 5K, 5K1, 5L, 5M, 5N, 5O, 5P,5Q, 5R, 5S, and 5U); and there being no persons appearing to speak, closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Sosa asked whether the residents of the listed active street lighting Special Taxing Districts (Districts) were advised and agreed to the increased costs.
Ms. Lorena Guerra-Macias, Chief, Special Assessment Districts, Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS), confirmed that the residents were notified, and the Districts were created to pay for the ongoing services provided to the residents.
Discussion ensued between Chairman Diaz and Ms. Guerra-Macias regarding the District process.
Commissioner Martinez voiced his concerns about increasing the assessments for the lighting districts and clarified that while residents may agree to pay the special assessments associated with the Districts, they did not vote on the increases.
Commissioner Sosa pointed out that the State allowed for increases for electricity. She requested to meet with the department to discuss options for residents moving into Districts not wishing to participate.
Ms. Guerra-Macias explained that the lighting District increase resulted from the Public Service Commission�s (PSC) decision to grant the Florida Power and Light Electric Company an increase on commercial rates. She stated that while residents were notified about the District requirements, they do not vote on proposed increases because the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the budget for the services provided to the Districts.
Commissioner Sosa emphasized that the increase was imposed by the PSC.
Chairman Diaz pointed out that the foregoing item provided the notice to residents regarding the proposed rate increase.
Ms. Guerra-Macias advised the Board members that residents always received notice about the public hearing held by the Board. She noted in this instance, the department had proactively sent out mailers regarding the increase and the possibility that the rates would be increased. Ms. Guerra-Macias reported that a letter had been sent out to residents in advance of today�s meeting that rates would be increased in accordance with State Statutes.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins asked if the rates were increased for lighting Districts in 2021. She spoke about the importance of establishing a process whereby notice was provided to residents on the onset of the special taxing process that annual rate increases were a possibility, particularly for lighting Districts. Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated that it was incumbent upon the Board to prevent future imposed fee increases by other entities and to ensure rates remained flat.
Ms. Guerra-Macias explained that while there was a possibility that rates could increase annually, each District operated with independent budgets and potential rate increases were dependent on the carry-over budget for the District. She noted that the department typically projected the rates three (3) to four (4) years in advance to keep the rates stable, and attributed this year�s increase to the 14 percent (14%) FPL commercial rate increase, which, could not have been anticipated.
Commissioner Heyman stated that while she recognized the merits of the comments made by Commissioner Cohen Higgins about protecting the residents and keeping rates flat, there were many challenges associated with maintaining rates in Districts and opined the only way to prevent future rate increases was to eliminate the District.
Chairman Diaz noted the Special Assessment Districts department had been completely restructured and thanked Ms. Guerra-Macias and staff for their hard work. He pointed out that residents were noticed for today�s (7/7) proceeds and no one appeared in opposition of the item.
Commissioner Martinez requested Lorena Guerra-Macias, Chief, Special Assessment Districts, Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS), to prepare and submit a report detailing all the lighting special taxing districts in which the increase exceeded the 14 percent (14%) surcharge approved by the Public Service Commission (PSC).
There being no objections, the Board members proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance, as presented.
Following the vote, Vice Chairman Gilbert III voiced his concerns regarding the impact of increased costs on small businesses and asked Chief Operations Officer, Jimmy Morales, to explore the issues facing small businesses as a result of increased inflation, and assessments for Special Taxing and Lighting Districts and, to present recommendations to the Board as to what could be done to help alleviate the problem.
Responding to Commissioner Sosa�s question as to whether residents could vote to eliminate a District, Ms. Guerra-Macias confirmed that there was a process in place to abolish a Special Taxing District.
Chairman Diaz renewed his request to Chief Operations Officer Jimmy Morales for information regarding current and future contractual agreements impacted by price increases.
Responding to Vice Chairman Gilbert�s III comments, Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava advised the Board members that the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023 budget would include a contingency reserve for small businesses.
Discussion ensued between Mayor Levine Cava and Chairman Diaz about the Board�s concerns regarding changes orders and the administration�s efforts to reduce the frequency.
Mayor Levine Cava assured the Board members that the administration had been diligent in engaging the public for input regarding abolishing Districts or removing services.
Responding to Vice Chairman Gilbert�s III question as to who assumed responsibility for the payment of the lights if the residents decided to abolish a Street Lighting Special Taxing District, Ms. Guerra-Macias explained in an instance in which the District was abolished the residents agreed to pay for the removal of the lights. She noted that the application to abolish a District was reviewed by staff and if it was found that the removal of the lights would present a safety issue, staff would not support the abolishment of the District.

REPORT:
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the titles of the proposed public hearing items (Agenda Items 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D,5E, 5F, 5I, 5J, 5K, 5K1, 5L, 5M, 5N, 5O, 5P,5Q, 5R, 5S, and 5U) into the record.
Earlier in the meeting, Chairman Diaz opened the public hearing for all items (Agenda Items 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D,5E, 5F, 5I, 5J, 5K, 5K1, 5L, 5M, 5N, 5O, 5P,5Q, 5R, 5S, and 5U).
1. Mr. Joel Hernandez, President, American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 3292, 18100 SW 148 Road, Miami, Florida, appeared in support for Agenda Items 5P and 5Q. He thanked the Board and administration for their continued support for Solid Waste employees and spoke about the benefits of the items.
2. Ms. CeeCee Brown, President, (AFSCME) Local 199, (no address provided), appeared in support of Agenda Items 5P and 5Q, and echoed the comments made by her colleague, Mr. Hernandez.
3. Ms. Sabrina Martin, 1100 NE 212 Terrace, Miami, Florida, questioned what additional services would be provided with the increased fees and voiced her concerns regarding the loss of services citing examples.
There being no other persons appearing to speak, Chairman Diaz closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Heyman commented on the proposed fee increase and requested clarification as to how the amount was determined.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava pointed out that the last fee increase was implemented during the Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-2020 budget period, and represented one (1) of two (2) fee increases done in the last decade. She advised the Board members that the County had been subsiding garbage pickup costs with general revenue funds. Mayor Levine Cava estimated the fee increase would amount to $2 per month, per household. She stated the administration was able to utilize federal funds to make up for the deficit in the past, however the fee increase was necessary moving forward to prevent service reductions.
Responding to Commissioner Heyman�s request for clarification regarding the fee increase and the use of federal funds to subsidize the costs, Mr. David Clodfelter, Director, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), explained the current budget was utilizing approximately $11 million in general revenue funds created by the American Rescue Plan to close budget shortfalls.
Commissioner Heyman asked for a breakdown as to which administrative or supply costs contributed to the proposed fee increase. She questioned whether the fee increase was needed at this time and the projected consequences if the fee increase was not implemented.
Mr. Michael Fernandez, Director, Miami-Dade Solid Waste Management (SWM), advised the Board members that the proposed increase would sustain current levels of service. He highlighted the importance of balancing the existing $30 million deficit, and noted if the fee increase was not implemented the deficit would continue to compound over time. Mr. Fernandez pointed out that there had been only two (2) fee increases in the past decade despite rising inflation and consumer price index (CPI). He estimated the previous fee increases amounted to approximately ten percent (10%) while the CPI rose by approximately 27 percent (27%).
Commissioner Heyman thanked staff for the thorough explanation and voiced her support for the item.
Commissioner Hardemon spoke about the fee differences and service provided to residents of municipalities compared to Unincorporated Municipal Service Areas (UMSA). He referenced comments made by Ms. Martin regarding diminished levels of service, and voiced his concerns about increasing the fees without providing additional and/or improving services. Commissioner Hardemon questioned what alternative solutions were being explored by the administration and asked whether the County had reviewed the properties operating as vacation rentals on platforms such as �Airbnb.� He suggested the administration consider charging these properties commercial rates and/or charging more to increase the revenue to offset costs for SWM.
Responding to Commissioner Hardemon�s question as to whether the County explored alternative options to improve the current level of services to justify the proposed fee increase, Mayor Levine Cava pointed out that when the fee was last increased, the County provided additional services related to illegal dumping. She concluded that the $25 yearly fee increase was insufficient to provide additional services.
Addressing comments and suggestions made by Commissioner Hardemon regarding the review of vacation rental units and the possibility of increasing the fees for such residences, Mr. Clodfelter explained that the County�s existing trim notice process would have to be reevaluated to determine how to collect increased fees from such units. He advised the Board members that Airbnb rentals were not listed as businesses therefore further analysis would be needed.
Mr. Fernandez spoke about SWM�s efforts to provide excellent service and remedy residents� concerns. He noted the department engaged in proactive code enforcement as well as respond to resident complaints; and advised the Board members that any additional services would have to be priced out to determine the total fiscal impact.
Commissioner Hardemon urged staff to be more proactive and analyze residents� complaints to determine what services were needed; and to be transparent about the budgetary needs of the department.
Commissioner Regalado concurred with the comments made by Commissioner Hardemon regarding the need to revisit the fees assessed on Airbnb properties and suggested the County consider imposing a higher tax to incorporate a garbage component. She noted the fee assessed on unregistered units operating as Airbnb rentals should also be increased to impose a �garbage� fee to compensate for the burden placed on the residential garbage system. Commissioner Regalado spoke about the municipal business license process and suggested the County use it as a model moving forward. She supported Commissioner Hardemon�s argument that the County should explore alternative solutions to provide residents additional services in light of the proposed fee increase; and inquired as to how staff determined the proposed annual fee increase amount ($25). Commissioner Regalado also requested clarification regarding the administration�s comments that general revenue funds had been used in the past to subsidize the costs.
Mr. Clodfelter explained that the proposed fee amount was calculated by reviewing SWD�s five year plan and budget, particularly for FY 2022-23. He stated the fee also factored in the amount being subsidized by the County for the 2023 service. Mr. Clodfelter clarified that waste collection funds were financed through fees and not from general funds.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Regalado and Mr. Clodfelter about the County�s plans to address SWD�s deficit and other looming issues once federal funding expired.
Mr. Clodfelter concurred with Commissioner Regalado�s assessment that more fee increases were imminent and unavoidable; and assured the Board members that their comments would be considered by staff before any further fee increases were proposed.
Commissioner Regalado spoke about the economic opportunities created by Airbnb residences and the increase in people working from home. She spoke about the importance of engaging the public about consumer choices to reduce trash.
Discussion ensued among Commissioner Regalado, Mr. Clodfelter and Mr. Fernandez regarding the increase in garbage production during and following the pandemic, as a result of more people working from home.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III spoke about his efforts to implement a pilot program to address illegal dumping in Commission District 1. He emphasized the importance of transparency with the public regarding costs and services; and strongly urged the administration to address the concerns of residents who were currently unsatisfied with the services provided. Vice Chairman Gilbert III cited an example of how the County could improve its garbage collection service and challenged staff to address these issues moving forward.
Chairman Diaz voiced his concerns regarding incremental increases and subsidies; and questioned the full fiscal impact for the proposed increase for FY 2022-2023.
Mr. Fernandez stated aside from the cash infusion used to supplement costs, the department was seeking an increase of $25 annually which would increase the Residential Solid Waste Collection fee from $484 to $509 per year.
Responding to Chairman Diaz�s question regarding the origination of the cash infusion, Mr. Clodfelter reminded the Board members that the current budget (FY 2021-2022) was utilizing approximately $11 million in general revenue funds created by the American Rescue Plan to close budget shortfalls. He noted there would be an additional amount allocated to SWD for FY 2022-2023.
Chairman Diaz inquired about the real increase needed to cover all costs, without any subsidies or supplements; and questioned whether there would be funds available to subsidize the FY 2022-2023 SWD budget.
Mr. Clodfelter estimated the total increase amount needed would amount to $45 to $50. He advised the Board members that there may not be enough funds to subsidize the collection fee in 2023 and an additional rate increase may be needed.
In response to Chairman Diaz�s question regarding the projected costs, revenues and deficit for SWD for the next three years, Ms. Jennifer Moon, Chief, Office of Policy and Budgetary Affairs, reviewed the Mayor�s memorandum and noted that the projected deficit amount for FY 2022-2023 was $28.3 million. She noted the memorandum identified potential service reductions amounting to $10.6 million, leaving a deficit amount of $17.7 million, which would still require a one-time fee increase of $54. Ms. Moon explained that the department was proposing the annual $25 fee increase along with the cash infusion of general funds to avoid reducing services and implementing the one-time fee.
Ms. Moon attributed the deficit in the collection fund to the unanticipated reduced commercial garbage collection/ revenue, and increased residential garbage production and collection during the pandemic. She advised the Board members that in the event the proposed $25 annual fee increase with the cash infusion was approved, she anticipated another fee increase of an amount exceeding $50 would be needed next year, based on current levels of service. Ms. Moon noted the waste collection service area was not County-wide but also extended past UMSA. She stated her analysis for the next five-year period revealed that SWD�s projected costs would exceed revenue by $20 million yearly, and concluded that a fee adjustment was needed to address the structural deficit.
Discussion ensued between Chairman Diaz and Ms. Moon regarding subsequent projected fee increases needed in years to come to maintain the current levels of service.
Ms. Moon clarified that the pandemic contributed to the loss of commercial revenue and increased residential service costs.
Chairman Diaz stated that while he recognized the intent of the foregoing item, the public and his colleagues should keep in mind that subsequent increases would be needed in the future to balance SWD�s collection fees budget.
Chairman Diaz renewed his request to Chief Operations Officer Jimmy Morales for the Covanta Report, and requested the report be provided before the next Board of County Commissioners (BCC) meeting scheduled for July 19, 2022. He spoke about the importance of the new plant and technology and the potential cost savings.
Mayor Levine Cava anticipated the report being completed by the next day (7/8).
There being no further comments or objections, the Board members proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance, as presented.

ORDINANCE RELATING TO VOLUNTARY ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY PROGRAM AND PROPERTY ASSESSED CLEAN ENERGY (PACE); CREATING SECTION 2-2091.1 OF THE CODE OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA; PROVIDING FOR CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS TO REQUIREMENTS FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES AND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES WITH FIVE OR MORE DWELLING UNITS; PROVIDING SEVERABILITY, INCLUSION IN THE CODE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE

REPORT:
Earlier in the meeting, County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the titles of proposed ordinances (Agenda Items 7A through 7I) into the record.
Commissioner Martinez pointed out the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing program payments were processed through the County�s tax bill which gave residents the wrong impression that the County administered the program. He cited examples of liens being placed on senior citizens� properties by the program due to non-payment, and the lack of transparency regarding the program�s administration.
Responding to Chairman Diaz�s request for clarification regarding the PACE program interest rates, Assistant County Attorney Dennis Kerbel explained that the foregoing proposed ordinance would not change the interest rate as set forth in the existing ordinance, but would create an exception for sophisticated residential and commercial property owners with more than four (4) units.
Commissioner Martinez reiterated his concerns regarding the frequency of complaints from residents regarding the administration of the program, and noted that the Property Appraiser�s (PA) Office also received numerous complaints.
Chairman Diaz spoke about the intent of the item.
Vice Chairman Gilbert stated that while he supported the item, he recognized the concerns raised by Commissioner Martinez; and recounted his personal experience with a program representative/sales person whose comments implied that the County administered the program. He spoke about the need to educate the public about the program, and prosecute providers for misrepresentation. Vice Chairman Gilbert III suggested creating a hotline where residents/victims could call to lodge complaints.
Commissioner Hardemon spoke about his efforts as a Miami City Commissioner to limit the PACE program to only commercial properties owners in order to protect residents against the predatory practices of vendors. He concurred that an educational component was needed, and pointed out that the County�s seal was used on program documents to give the impression that the program was County-run. Commissioner Hardemon recognized the merits of the program but stated the County needed to be more vigilant about the sales tactics utilized by some of the providers and its negative impact on the senior population.
Commissioner Sosa commented on the benefits of the program and her efforts to expand the program to include the septic to sewer conversion. She suggested the administration require PACE program providers to utilize language, which clearly stated that the program was �County approved� to avoid confusion.
Mr. Lazaro Solis, Deputy Property Appraiser, confirmed that the PA office received numerous complaints from residents regarding the PACE program and the belief that it was a County administered program. He explained that the trim notice and tax bill included ad valorem and non-ad valorem taxes, and noted residents were often times unable to distinguish the separate taxing authorities. Mr. Solis stated the majority of the residents� complaints stemmed from contractors making representations that they were �County approved vendors� or the company was �County endorsed.� He explained that residents needed to be further educated on the County�s decision to adopt the PACE District as a service, and understand that the individual contractors were not endorsed by the County. Mr. Solis opined that part of the issue originated from false advertising by some of the contractors who may not even be endorsed by the PACE program.
Mr. Solis explained a second issue encountered by his office was residents� beliefs that anything listed on the tax bill was related to the County. He noted residents, particularly the elderly, were often times shocked once the PACE program payment amount was added to the tax bill because they were not fully informed about the program. Mr. Solis commented on the financial burden created by the residents� inability to pay the PACE program and other non-ad valorem district fees.
Chairman Diaz voiced his concerns regarding misrepresentations by vendors regarding their affiliation with the County. He pointed out the foregoing item was only applicable to commercial and residential properties with five or more dwelling units.
Assistant County Attorney Kerbel reiterated that the foregoing item would not change the interest rate provision in the existing ordinance; and clarified that the exceptions required disclosure of the interest rates.
Commissioner McGhee concurred with comments made by Vice Chairman Gilbert III and Commissioner Sosa about the need for an educational campaign and language requirement to make it clear that the PACE program was not administered by the County. He also suggested educating County endorsed vendors about the County�s requirements, and urged the administration to consider removing the County�s endorsement if the Program did not comply. Commissioner McGhee contended that the interest rates and the addition of the fees on the tax bill would result in residents losing their homes; and questioned what action could be taken by the Board to immediately facilitate the educational campaign and language requirement.
Commissioner McGhee commented on the false representations made by PACE program vendors and companies, and provided an example in which his image was used without authorization to endorse the �Florida Relief� program.
Chairman Diaz maintained that the PACE program was beneficial when administered correctly but acknowledged the comments and concerns raised by his colleagues. He requested the County Attorney�s office to draft legislation regarding a language requirement and educational campaign.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava noted that Mr. Jim Murley, Chief Resilience Officer, was present to answer any questions the Board may have about the success and effectiveness of the PACE program.
There being no comments or objections, the Board members proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance, as presented.

REPORT:
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record. She noted the foregoing item would be amended to add a new section (3) to the bottom of Page 16, to delay the implementation of the new impact fee exemption for 30 days to give the administration additional time to modify its permitting systems. The new section (3) shall read as follows:
�The provisions of Section 33E-14(d)(8) providing an exemption from impact fees for workforce housing units shall not be implemented or otherwise deemed to apply until August 8, 2022. It is provided however that any fee-payer who obtains a building permit after the effective date of this ordinance shall upon application pursuant to Section 33E-13 be entitled to a refund of any fees that would qualify for the exemption.�
Responding to Commissioner Regalado�s question as to application period for the proffered amendment, Assistant County Attorney Dennis Kerbel clarified that the amendment was applicable to the effective date and August 8, 2022.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board adopted the foregoing proposed ordinance, as amended.

REPORT:
Commissioner Garcia voiced his concerns regarding the auditing process, specifically for mail-in ballots.
Ms. Christina White, Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections, explained that the auditing process was outlined in the Florida Statutes and elaborated upon in the Florida Rules. She noted that Miami-Dade County would be the 28th County in the State to utilize the process, and clarified that the audits would be performed post-elections pursuant to Florida law.
Ms. White reviewed the County�s current auditing process and advised the Board members that the new process would be more efficient and thorough. She stated due to the volume of ballots to be audited, the department would begin scanning all ballots received, including early voting and mail in ballots, in preparation of the audit which would be conducted post-elections.
Commissioner Garcia questioned the necessity of scanning the ballots prior to the elections results being tabulated, and suggested amending the item to include language to clarify that the auditing process would begin post-election.
Ms. White clarified the auditing process and timelines. She explained post-elections, the department would run the elections results from the tabulations system, and compare them with the results generated by the independent audit system.
Ms. White maintained that the daily process of scanning the ballots into the new audit system was no different from what was currently being done with the tabulations system. She argued that the department would be unable to complete the auditing process within the seven (7) day timeframe outlined by State law if staff waited to begin the scanning process after the elections.
Commissioner Garcia questioned the need to start scanning the ballots during the election period, particularly since the new system automated the process.
Ms. White explained that the auditing rules and process had been set forth by the Florida Secretary of State and the Florida Legislature.
Commissioner Garcia reiterated his concerns about beginning the auditing process prior to the end of the elections, particularly for mail-in and absentee ballots; and asked if the audit was needed to certify the elections results.
Ms. White emphasized that the mail-in, absentee and early vote ballots would be scanned, boxed and secured until the elections were done. She further explained that the auditing process would begin immediately following the scanning of the election-day ballots. Ms. White reiterated that the audit must be completed within seven (7) days of the certification of the elections results, and spoke about the challenges of scanning 3.2 million sheets of paper into the system within the timeframe. She clarified that the scanning process would begin 20 days prior to Election Day.
Commissioner Garcia questioned whether the entire election would be audited or random precincts selected for the audit process.
Ms. White explained that Florida law required a random selection of 20% of the precincts to be audited for all races on the ballot. She noted however, in an effort to boost voter confidence and to provide transparency, all ballots would be scanned.
Commissioner Regalado recognized and commented on the concerns raised by Commissioner Garcia about starting the auditing process prior to the end of the elections; and Ms. White�s apprehension about delaying the scanning process due to the volume of ballots to be scanned. She questioned whether the scanning could be done at specific intervals so as not to delay the process, and opined the scanning and auditing could be done simultaneously within the 20-day election period.
Commissioner Garcia maintained that the audit should be done post-election and recommended language be added to state that the audit would begin upon the conclusion of the election.
Ms. White restated her concerns about the department�s ability to fully utilize the new system and complete the audit within the timeframe outlined by State law given the volume of ballots and papers to be processed and post-election processes. She pointed out that Miami-Dade County would be the only county in the State to utilize the system in the way suggested by Commissioner Garcia.
Commissioner Garcia emphasized the importance of conducting an accurate audit.
Chairman Diaz noted the votes would not be tabulated/audited before the end of the elections.
Responding to Chairman Diaz�s request for clarification regarding the tabulation and auditing process, Ms. White reiterated that all counties would utilize the system in the way she outlined. She clarified that mail-in ballots were tabulated daily beginning 19 days prior to the election. Ms. White explained the new system would allow staff to then scan the mail-in ballots.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Garcia and Ms. White regarding the utilization of the system to scan ballots and the timeframe for beginning the audit following the election.
Ms. White noted the scanning process would continue following the end of the elections and explained that the audit would only be done once all the ballots were scanned, post-election.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board adopted the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

REPORT:
Commissioner Heyman reviewed the intent of the foregoing item. She explained the Information Technology (IT) component for the new Civil and Probate Courthouse had been excluded from the original scope of the project to ensure the latest technology would be utilized.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III voiced his concerns regarding the decision to omit the IT component from the original bid package. He stated that while he understood the reason for excluding the IT proponent, the bid process with the proper language could have still been initiated to avoid creating an instance where the Board of County Commissioners (Board) was then required to waive its competitive procurement process. Vice Chairman Gilbert indicated his intent to support the foregoing item in light of its importance to the community, but cautioned this should not be done in the future.
Commissioner Heyman acknowledged the concerns voiced by Vice Chairman Gilbert III. She explained that the foregoing item clarified whether the County�s IT Department (ITD) or Plenary Justice Miami, LLC (Plenary) would maintain oversight of the IT component. Commissioner Heyman pointed out that the process had been done over a period of time, and advised her colleagues that keeping oversight in-house provided significant savings.
Commissioner Regalado concurred with the comments made by Vice Chairman Gilbert III. She stated that while she would have appreciated more time to review the contract and meet with ITD, she would support the item.
Judge Nushin Sayfie, Chief Judge, Eleventh Judicial Circuit, thanked the Board for their continued support and spoke about the importance of the item.
Addressing comments made by Vice Chairman Gilbert III regarding the decision to exclude the IT component from the original courthouse bid, she pointed out that the judiciary was not included in the procurement/contracts process. Judge Sayfie indicated her support for the bid waiver and pointed out that Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI) was currently under contract with the project�s developer and provided support for the existing courthouse building.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins noted that funding for the technology work ($18.5 million) was already fully funded and voiced her support for the item. She spoke about the need for the project and suggested the Board adopt legislation, which would prevent legislative items from being added to the agenda on short notice.
Commissioner McGhee concurred with the comments made by Commissioner Cohen Higgins and noted his support for the item.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III recognized Commissioner Heyman�s efforts and commitment to ensuring the success of the new courthouse project.
Chairman Diaz commented on the importance of the foregoing item.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board adopted the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

REPORT:
County Attorney County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read into the record, the title of the foregoing proposed resolution, in addition to the other annexation items (Agenda Items 5G, 5H, 8G1 and 8G2).
Town of Medley Mayor Roberto Martell noted that the Medley Town Council (Council) had lowered the millage rate from 3.9 percent (3.9%) to 2.9 percent (2.9%). He assured the Board members that the millage rate would continue to decline once the annexation process was completed, and reported that the Council had also reduced building permit fees.
Commissioner Martinez reiterated the concerns he raised earlier during consideration of Agenda Items 5G and 5H, regarding the lack of business owners input in the annexation process.
Commissioner Heyman pointed out that the Planning Advisory Board (PAB) unanimously recommended denial of the annexation request and asked for a full summation of the report, discussion and findings to be provided to the Board in the future. She voiced her concerns regarding small business owners� ability to pay the millage rate if the annexation was approved, and stated she could not support the item based on the PAB�s recommendation.
Commissioner Monestime voiced his support for the foregoing item and recognized the benefits of the foregoing annexation request. He noted that the Town of Medley (Town) was business oriented and disagreed with the PAB�s findings and recommendations. Commissioner Monestime pointed out that the Town�s millage rate was considerably lower than other municipalities, and argued the fiscal impact on the businesses was not comparable to the annexation requests considered in Agenda Items 5G and 5H.
Commissioner Regalado thanked the Town�s Council for revisiting and reducing the millage rate. She spoke about the Town�s infrastructure and contended the foregoing application was different from the other annexation requests considered today (7/7). Commissioner Regalado reiterated her request for the County Attorney�s Office to explore and develop a vehicle by which the County would be permitted to recapture properties if the municipalities did not honor their commitments, and requested the new process include the foregoing item and all annexation requests considered today (7/7).
Commissioner Souto indicated his support for the foregoing item. He pointed out that the Town contained more industrial than residential development, and stated each annexation request was different.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board adopted the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

REPORT:
Assistant County Attorney Terrence Smith read into the record, the title of the foregoing proposed resolution.
SPECIAL NOTE: The foregoing item has a companion ordinance (See Agenda Item 7D).
Commissioner Martinez stated his intent to vote �no� on the foregoing proposed resolution.
Commissioner Heyman voiced her concerns about the proposed provision that would waive County policy, which required the participation of Board of County Commissioners (Board/Commission) on Community Redevelopment Agencies� (CRA) boards, and recommended a County representative be appointed as a replacement in this instance. She inquired about the fiscal impact of waiving the 1.5 percent (1.5%) administrative fee and questioned the need for the waiver citing concerns about the precedent it would set moving forward.
Commissioner Hardemon estimated the fiscal impact of waiving the 1.5% administrative fee amounted to $155,000 to $200,000.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins concurred with the comments and concerns raised by Commissioner Heyman. She referenced a supplementary fiscal impact statement that was distributed to the Board members, which delineated concerns about waiving existing legislation including but not limited to community benefits requirements and a requirement that the agency submit a timely budget for Board approval prior to assuming any debt. Commissioner Cohen Higgins requested clarification regarding the purpose for waiving the resolutions and administrative fee; and voiced her concerns regarding the fiscal impact and the precedent being set.
Commissioner Heyman stated that she was advised that a CRA for the same jurisdiction (City of Miami) was currently disputing a $10.7 million debt owed to the County, which was due in 2021. She reiterated her concerns about waiving the Board�s requirements regarding the CRA board composition and budget oversight. Commissioner Heyman noted that it was the Board�s policy to refrain from engaging in business with entities objecting to settlements or taking legal action against the County, and contended this should be also apply to the CRA.
Commissioner Hardemon invited Mr. James McQueen, Executive Director, Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA to appear before the Board.
Mr. James McQueen, Executive Director, Southeast Overtown/Park West (SEOPW) CRA, 819 NW 2 Avenue, Miami, FL, appeared in support of the foregoing item. He provided a historic overview of the cultural and racial experience of Overtown/Miami African American residents, and maintained that the area had been systematically ignored and destroyed by racist governmental policies. Mr. McQueen commented on the area�s recent progress and spoke about the importance of considering Overtown�s unique characteristics when making decisions. Mr. McQueen voiced his concerns about attempts being made by the administration and some Board members� to restrain the SEOPW CRA�s ability to self-govern. He pointed out that there were 15 CRAs in the County and credited the SEOPW CRA with building and/or refurbishing more affordable housing units than all of the other CRAs combined. Mr. McQueen reviewed the SEOPW CRA�s accomplishments, including the investment of $113 million into the affordable housing initiative, $17.5 into transit, and leading the resurgence of business development in the area. He recounted the organization�s efforts to improve infrastructure and to support innovative policing initiatives, including the funding of youth programs. Mr. McQueen urged the Board to allow the SEOPW CRA to continue its work in the community without interference and reiterated his support for the item.
Commissioner Hardemon noted the SEOPW CRA went into effect in 1983 and spoke about the condition of the Overtown community at the time. Referencing the administration�s supplemental fiscal impact report, he pointed out that the County had only contributed $102 million to the organization over a period of 30 years from 1985/1986 to 2021/2022 with plans to contribute more than $137 million between 2022/2023 to 2029/2030. Commissioner Hardemon contended that the County�s proposed contribution for the next six (6) to seven (7) years were consistent with Mr. McQueen�s argument that the organization had been neglected up until the CRA�s Tax Increment Financing (TIF) began making money. He advised his colleagues that the TIF started to produce more revenue around 2007 with the adoption of new policies and noted that the County subsequently entered into �sharing agreements� with the most profitable TIF projects.
Commissioner Hardemon reviewed the terms of the �sharing agreements� and argued that this policy took revenue away from the CRAs. He maintained that the CRAs powers and authority were stripped once they became a State of Florida entity, and opined that this contributed to the �crippling� of the SEOPW CRA. Commissioner Hardemon spoke about his experience with CRAs in general and more specifically his role overseeing the SEOPW CRA in his capacity as a City of Miami Commissioner. He contended that the State legislature and in some instances local government were not knowledgeable about CRAs� goals, function and mission in the community.
Commissioner Hardemon reviewed the County�s �capping� legislation and spoke about his efforts to prevent the implementation. He provided a brief historical account surrounding the decision to extend the SEOPW CRA to facilitate the potential development of a convention center and hotel in the Overtown area. Commissioner Hardemon emphasized his support for CRAs continues in his capacity as a County commissioner and explained the foregoing item was intended to address his concerns regarding governmental interference in the operations and functions of the organizations.
Commissioner Hardemon recounted the experience which led to his proposal to waive the County representative requirement and stated this change would prevent politically motivated conflicts between County and City representatives on the CRA board. He reviewed the SEOPW CRA�s success to date, including the entity�s employment and economic improvement investments, cultural programming, and affordable housing initiatives. Commissioner Hardemon spoke about the SEOPW CRA�s history and contended the Overtown area had been negatively impacted due to the lack of government intervention.
Commissioner Hardemon stated that the request to extend the life of the SEOPW CRA was not unusual and pointed out that the administrative fees had always been waived for the entity. He spoke about the need to evaluate CRAs� needs on an individual basis and urged the Commission to not handicap the SEOPW CRA by requiring County representation when it was unnecessary. Commissioner Hardemon expressed his support for the structure and leadership of the SEOPW CRA and clarified that the foregoing proposed resolution would provide the SEOPW CRA the ability to waive certain provisions as outlined under the Community Benefits Section.
Addressing the administration�s request that the SEOPW CRA contribute $25 million to the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Program, Commissioner Hardemon pointed out that the entity had already committed to contributing $17 million to the Tri-Rail extension. He contended the administration�s request was unfair given the fact that the SMART plan would not directly benefit the community. Commissioner Hardemon noted that the changes to the Overtown area were visible for all to see and maintained that the area�s progress was due to the SEOPW CRA. He reiterated his request that the item be adopted as presented so the SEOPW CRA was not further handicapped by unnecessary governmental policies and interference.
It was moved by Commissioner Heyman that the Board waive the Board of County Commissioners Rule 3.01(a) to allow this meeting to be continued past 6:00 p.m. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Garcia, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 9-0 (Commissioners Sosa, McGhee, Monestime, Higgins were absent).
Commissioner Heyman recognized the success of the organization and stated that while she supported the extension of the SEOPW CRA, she was concerned about waiving the administrative fee and the fiscal impact on the County. She estimated the waiver would amount to a loss of $6.8 million in administrative fees and argued the SEOPW CRA was now able to afford the fees. Commissioner Heyman reiterated her objection to removing County representation from the SEOPW CRA board and stated she could not support the item if the administrative fee waiver component was not removed.
Responding to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� question as to the County�s participation in the current SEOPW CRA, Mr. George Fernandez, Deputy Director, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), advised the Board members that there was currently no County representation on the SEOPW CRA board. He explained that the SEOPW CRA was one of the oldest CRAs in the County and many of the Board�s policies were implemented after the interlocal agreements were entered into.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava noted that the foregoing item sought to waive the County participation requirement for new CRAs or those requesting an extension.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins requested clarification as to whether there had ever been a County representative on the SEOPW CRA since its implementation.
Mr. Fernandez confirmed the SEOPW CRA board never included a County representative and explained the process for negotiating changes to a CRAs� interlocal agreement.
Commissioner Sosa inquired about the amount of funds invested by the County into the SEOPW CRA�s housing initiative.
Mr. Fernandez explained that the County currently contributed 38 percent (38%) towards affordable housing total project costs.
Commissioner Sosa voiced her concerns about the lack of County representation in light of the County�s contributions to the organization�s affordable housing initiatives, and asked whether Commissioner Hardemon would consider amending the item to address this issue.
Commissioner Hardemon commented on the age and history of the SEOPW CRA, including the decision that a City of Miami representative be a part of the board. He spoke about the allocation of federal, State and County resources to other communities in times of need versus the investment made in the Overtown community. Commissioner Hardemon discussed problems plaguing the Overtown area and the County�s repeated attempts to divert resources from the community and residents. He argued that none of the other CRAs deal with the challenges encountered by SEOPW CRA and pointed out that CRAs only received 95 percent (95%) of the revenue generated by TIF.
Commissioner Hardemon adamantly insisted that the SEOPW CRA did not need County representation and maintained that the requirement could lead to issues with quorum.
Discussion ensued between Mayor Levine Cava and Commissioner Sosa regarding the item�s fiscal and social impact.
Responding to Commissioner Sosa�s question as to whether the SEOPW CRA would be required to submit timely budgets to the Commission, Commissioner Hardemon clarified that the organization would be still be required to submit a budget and Mayor Levine Cava explained that the item sought to remove some of the requirements that were recently added.
In light of Commissioner Hardemon�s knowledge of the Overtown community and insistence that County representation was not needed on the SEOPW CRA board, Vice Chairman Gilbert III expressed his support for the item and the district commissioner. He acknowledged the organization�s accomplishments and successes, and urged his colleagues to make the best decision for the residents of the community.
Mayor Levine Cava spoke about her experience working and championing CRAs. She reviewed the intent of the existing CRA legislation and noted the protections could only be imposed on future or extending CRAs. Mayor Levine Cava emphasized that the provisions were implemented pursuant to the Grand Jury�s investigation, and requested the County participation and administrative fee provisions remain in place. She credited the SEOPW CRAs� leadership for the organization�s success and supported extending the organization effective 2030 through 2042. Mayor Levine Cava stated that County participation on the SEOPW CRA board was necessary for transparency purposes, and emphasized that it was not the administration�s intent to hamper the organization�s progress.
Responding to Chairman Diaz�s question as to the administration�s position on the monies owed to the County, Mayor Levine Cava clarified that another CRA was responsible for the $10 million debt.
Commissioner Hardemon stressed that the SEOPW CRA was not in arrears.
Commissioner Sosa reiterated her support for the extension of the organization and requested Commissioner Hardemon consider keeping some of the provisions listed under Resolution No. R-499-16 to protect the County and community in the future, in his absence.
Commissioner Hardemon urged his colleagues to review the foregoing proposed resolution and not base their decisions on the information provided in the administration�s report. He clarified that the provisions for oversight and review were not being waived. Commissioner Hardemon directed his fellow commissioners� attention to Page 29 of the item, and read into the record provision No. 21 related to the County�s right for an Inspector General�s review if needed pursuant to Administrative Order 320.
Chairman Diaz recognized the intent of the item and commented on the unique nature of the Overtown area and the SEOPW CRA. He acknowledged some of his colleagues� hesitation to support the item based on the proposed waiver of County representation on the organization�s board, and urged Commissioner Hardemon to consider keeping the provision in place to maintain oversight.
Commissioner Hardemon contended that County representation was not needed to maintain oversight.
Addressing the administration�s concerns about waiving the County representation provision and the potential effect on future district commissioners interest in being a member of the SEOPW CRA, Vice Chairman Gilbert III suggested language be included in the existing legislation which would allow a district commissioner the option to participate on a CRA board if they so desired.
Commissioner Regalado argued that the County representation provision would legally require a County representative to be present at CRA board meetings which, could then affect quorum if the representative did not attend.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III clarified the intent of the proffered amendment would provide the district commissioner the opportunity to either �opt in� or �opt out� as a board member.
Commissioner McGhee indicated his support for the item and his colleague, Commissioner Hardemon.
Discussion ensued between Commissioners Cohen Higgins and Hardemon regarding the effective date for the proposed changes.
Commissioner Hardemon reiterated the intent of the item was to eliminate conflicts and enable the entity.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins commented on the SEOPW CRA�s ongoing success absent County representation and voiced her support for the item and Commissioner Hardemon.
Commissioner Heyman reiterated that the SEOPW CRA�s administrative fees were waived in 2007 due to affordability. She pointed out that all CRAs were required to pay the 1.5% administrative fee and questioned whether the Commission was prepared to waive the fee for all CRAs.
Commissioner Sosa inquired if it was legally possible to include language or a provision for future district commissioners to participate on the CRA board if they chose to do so.
Mr. Fernandez clarified that the current SEOPW CRA term expired in 2030, and explained the proposed extension would take effect in 2030 to 2042.
Responding to Commissioner Garcia�s question regarding the fiscal impact of waiving the 1.5% administrative fee for all CRAs, Mr. Fernandez estimated the County would lose $700,000 in revenue.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board adopted the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

REPORT:
Commissioner Martinez released his pull on the foregoing item.
Chairman Diaz voiced his concerns regarding the listed properties and the fact that they were yet to be developed.
Commissioner Hardemon commented on Palmetto Homes Urban Development Group, Inc. (Palmetto Homes) invaluable contribution as a partner in the County� housing initiatives, and spoke about their affordable and green housing projects. He pointed out that the properties listed in the foregoing item were among several others conveyed to Palmetto Homes for the development of affordable housing units. Commissioner Hardemon contended that the vast majority of properties conveyed to Palmetto Homes were irregularly sized and not favorable for development. He stated the three (3) properties listed in the foregoing item were identified by Mana Fashion Realty, LLC (Mana) as potential �land-swap� locations. Commissioner Hardemon explained the intent of the foregoing item was to amend the exchange agreement between the County, Mana and Mapton Holdings, LLC; and facilitate the proposed land-swap between Mana and Palmetto Homes in accordance with the conditions outlined in the proposal submitted by the entities. The conditions included: (1) negotiating an amendment to the Exchange Agreement to eliminate its obligations to construct the Original Project and release the two irrevocable letters of credit, and instead have the County accept a payment of $5,857,632.10; (2) conveying and granting the Exchange Parcel and the $5,857,632.10 received from the Mana to
Palmetto Homes pursuant to Section 125.379, Florida Statutes for purposes of developing 55 affordable housing units on the Exchange Parcel; (3) requiring Palmetto Homes to construct approximately 7,316 square feet of space in the building to be used as a Puerto Rican Community
Center and enter into a long-term lease of such space with the South Florida Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce in exchange for $2,500,000.00 of Building Better Communities General Obligation
Bond Program funds from Project No. 324 � �Puerto Rican Community Center� (�Bond funds�) to cover the costs of construction of such facility; (4) accepting the conveyance of the Palmetto Parcels back to the County from Palmetto Homes; and (5) conveying the Palmetto Parcels to Mana pursuant to Section 125.045, Florida Statutes for economic development purposes to combine with other properties owned by Mana to construct and operate a development of approximately 105,400 square of conference and convention space along with associated parking and office space.
Commissioner Hardemon highlighted the merits of the item and the beneficial impact on the community.
Commissioner Heyman noted 79 properties were conveyed to Palmetto Homes with only 11 properties developed over a period of eight (8) years. She argued the properties should be recaptured and re-dedicated to affordable housing.
Chairman Diaz suggested deferring the item to the July 19, 2022 Board of County Commissioners (Board) meeting for Mana and Palmetto Homes to provide him more information, including contractual agreements and timeframes, related to the listed properties.
Commissioner Hardemon reviewed the list of properties conveyed to Palmetto Homes and the conveyance dates for the respective properties. He emphasized that the properties in question were only just conveyed to Palmetto Homes on or around November 2020 and were not in default. Commissioner Hardemon reported that the owner of Palmetto Homes was prepared to return the majority of the properties to the County to avoid any future stain on his reputation, and reiterated the benefits of the item. Commissioner Hardemon recognized
Chairman Diaz�s request to defer the item and agreed to a deferral to the July 19, 2022 Board meeting.
There being no further comments or objections, the foregoing item was deferred to the July 19, 2022 Board meeting.

REPORT:
Chairman Diaz introduced the foregoing item.
In response to Chairman Diaz�s request Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal read into the record Florida Statute Section 1011.73 Subsection 2 which stated: �The District School Board pursuant to Resolution adopted at a regular meeting shall direct the County Commission to call an election at which the electors within the school district may approve an ad valorem tax millage that is authorized under Section 1011.719.� He explained the foregoing item was placed on the agenda following the School Board�s request in accordance with the aforementioned statute.
In light on decreased student enrollment and teacher retention rates, Commissioner Martinez questioned the necessity of the millage increase and asked whether the funds were needed for operational and/or maintenance needs.
Dr. Jose L. Dotres, Superintendent, Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), noted that the ballot clearly defined the approved uses for the funds. He stated the increase could be used to fund police officers and to competitively recruit and compensate teachers.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Martinez and Dr. Dotres regarding the decline in teacher retention rates, the shift in student enrollment from public schools to charter schools, and the School Board�s need to remain competitive when actively recruiting new school police officers, teachers and instructional personnel.
Commissioner Regalado commented on the ballot process.
Following discussion between Commissioner Cohen Higgins and Dr. Dotres regarding the overwhelming voter support (71%) for the ballot question, Commissioner Cohen Higgins voiced her support for the item and concluded that it was incumbent on the Board to place the ballot question before the electorate.
Commissioner Sosa emphasized the importance of supporting the school system at this time and expressed her support for the item. She commended Dr. Dotres, the Miami-Dade School Board and all teachers and staff for their continued commitment and hard work.
Vice Chairman Gilbert III echoed the comments and commendations made by Commissioner Sosa.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board adopted the foregoing proposed ordinance, as presented.

REPORT:
Commissioner Souto emphasized the importance of PortMiami and the Miami International Airport to the County�s economy and voiced her support for the foregoing item. She requested the item be amended to include language clarifying the reasons for proposed amendment to the Home Rule Charter.
Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal announced that the foregoing was amended to change the description of the authority transferred from �administrative� to �governing� authority, and to remove from the title �Whereas clause� ballot question proposed language to be included in the Miami-Dade County Home Rule Charter; the language limiting the required approval of the electorate for transfers of ownership of governing authority to only transfers directly or indirectly to the State or federal government. With the adoption of this amendment, all acts of the Board of County Commissioners to transfer ownership of governing authority of Miami International Airport, PortMiami or the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority will require the approval of voters of Miami-Dade Authority.�
Commissioner Regalado requested a reverter clause be included in the ballot question.
Commissioner Martinez stated he interpreted the foregoing item as a preemptive measure to protect the County�s assets from the State, and voiced his support.
Chairman Diaz reviewed the intent of the foregoing item and the proffered amendment.
Commissioner Regalado clarified that adoption of the foregoing resolution would result in a special election and/or ballot question being included on the November 8, 2022 general election.
Chairman Diaz reiterated the intent of the foregoing item was to protect the County�s assets.
Commissioners Cohen Higgins questioned what would happen in the event the electorate did not vote in support of amending the Home Rule Charter as outlined in the item.
Commissioner Regalado concluded that the Home Rule Charter would remain unchanged.
Chairman Diaz strongly emphasized the intent of the item.
Discussion ensued between Commissioners Regalado and Sosa regarding the need for placing the question on the ballot.
Chairman Diaz noted the ballot question would be included in the November elections.
Commissioner Souto indicated his support for the item and spoke about previous attempts by external entities to gain authority over the County�s seaport and airport assets.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board adopted the foregoing proposed resolution, as amended.

REPORT:
Commissioner McGhee recognized the efforts of the administration and Board of County Commissioners (Board) to declare and deal with the ongoing housing crisis.
Commissioner Martinez requested he be added as a co-sponsor.
Commissioner Regalado referenced language contained in the general body �whereas� and �therefore� clauses, and requested clarification as to whether the item was applicable to single family homes or townhouses and/condominiums. She voiced her concerns regarding the lack of definition in the item and pointed out that Section 2(f) �Set aside� clause stated �25 percent (25%) of the grant funds shall be utilized to subsidize owners or landlords who own 20 or less dwelling units.�
Assistant County Attorney Terrence Smith stated the intent of the resolution was to target owners of dwelling units with plans to convert to affordable housing or workforce housing, therefore it was applicable to townhouse units, single-family homes and/or multi-family developments. Addressing the �set aside� clause, he explained that the prime sponsor�s intent was to allocate 25% of the grant funds to owners of 20 or less dwelling units.
Commissioner Regalado commented on the absence of a definition for �unit.�
Commissioner McGhee argued that the term �unit� was applicable to any form of individual dwelling unit and reiterated the intent of the item.
Commissioner Regalado noted that while the item mentioned the lack of single-family homes, it lacked information regarding occupancy rates for condominiums; and questioned what would become of tenants of these units that were currently paying market rental rates. She identified misrepresentations on Pages four (4) and five (5) of the memorandum, and opined that the item was not well written.
Responding to Chairman Diaz�s question, Commissioner McGhee confirmed that the item would be referred to the administration for further review.
Commissioner Regalado maintained that the foregoing item contained incorrect information and cited Pages four (4) and five (5) of the memorandum. She stated that she was aware of one (1) program that utilizes general funds for infill, and requested the County Attorney�s Office list five (5) examples of similar affordable housing programs which utilize general funds to subsidize housing in the County.
Commissioner McGhee emphasized that the item was intended to create a program to incentivize landlords and/or property owners to convert current market rate units to affordable or workforce housing rentals.
Assistant County Attorney Smith explained that the last �whereas� clause in Page four (4), detailed steps taken by the administration and the Board to address the affordable housing crises. He stated similar programs existed in other municipalities, such as the �Home Program� in the City of Miami.
Commissioner Regalado contended the funds used by the programs were federally funded by The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). She noted the foregoing proposed resolution proposed utilizing general funds without HUD restrictions and did not address what would be done with the current tenants.
Mr. Michael Liu, Director, Miami-Dade County Public Housing and Community Development (PHCD) stated that while there were limited examples of such programs in the County, it was not unusual in other jurisdictions for non-federal funds and local funds to be used for affordable housing projects. He pointed out that both the County and City of Miami has utilized bond funding in the past for affordable housing.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Regalado and Mr. Liu as to whether the affordable housing programs referenced by Mr. Liu exclusively used bond monies without HUD regulations to fund said programs.
Mr. Liu explained that funding for affordable housing programs was multi-layered. He noted the foregoing item sought to provide a stipend to landlords and/or property owners similar to what was done with the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program under the Sadowski Act to provide rental assistance. Mr. Liu pointed out that details regarding the policies and administration of the program would be developed and reported on by the Mayor�s office.
Commissioner Regalado questioned how much general funds were allocated to PHCD, and the amount of funds left in the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP)
Responding to Commissioner Regalado�s question, Mr. Liu estimated the department received a little over $1 million to help with the Helen Sawyer Assisted Living Facility which was a part of public housing; and approximately $350,000 to $400,000 for the infill program. He advised the Board members that there was a little less than $30 million available in ERAP funding.
Commissioner Regalado inquired about the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) and how the funds were allocated at the end of the year. She also questioned whether the proposed incentive program detailed in the foregoing item would be separate from the AHTF.
Mr. Liu confirmed that the newly proposed program would be separate from the AHTF and reported that the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Board managed the AHTF and made decisions regarding allocations and recommendations.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava stated that it was not the intent to evict anyone from the units. She explained some existing units and/or tenants may qualify for the newly proposed program that may not have qualified for other programs such as ERAP. Mayor Levine Cava noted the goal of the program was to service residents with a higher income level and commented on Commissioner McGhee�s efforts to engage developers with available units.
Commissioner Regalado pointed out that the item did not provide any information about available units and questioned the administration�s process for compiling a report on available units.
Mayor Levine Cava emphasized that the foregoing proposed resolution directed the administration to return with a report regarding specifics of the proposed program. She recognized the concerns raised by Commissioner Regalado regarding the administration�s ability to compile the report and reiterated that Commissioner McGhee had exercised due diligence in preparing the item. Mayor Levine Cava stated that administration anticipated there were existing landlords with available units and potential tenants who would qualify for the proposed program.
Commissioner Regalado questioned the usage of the term �grant� funding.
Assistant County Attorney Smith explained that it was Commissioner McGhee�s intent to create a grant program that would be administered by the County which would allow interested property owners and landlords to apply to convert existing units into affordable or workforce housing units. He noted the landlords and/or property owners would receive a grant and be required to record a restrictive covenant to maintain the unit as an affordable or workforce-housing unit.
Responding to Commissioner Regalado�s request for clarification regarding the restrictive covenant requirement and process, Assistant County Attorney Smith advised the Board members that the restrictive covenant would be recorded once with a minimum affordability requirement term of three (3) years. He further explained that if the property owner and/or landlord chose to continue participating in the program, they would be compensated pursuant to the timeframe outlined in the item. Assistant County Attorney Smith pointed out the restrictive covenant requirement was similar to that currently required by the County�s loan programs related to rental regulatory agreements.
Discussion ensued among Chairman Diaz, Mayor Levine Cava and Commissioner Regalado regarding the administration�s role in preparing the report and providing additional information.
Chairman Diaz questioned whether Commissioner Regalado would be permitted under Sunshine Law to meet with the administration regarding her concerns and recommendations.
Commissioner Regalado moved to defer the foregoing item and work with the sponsor.
Commissioner McGhee voiced his opposition to deferring the proposed resolution and expressed his frustration about attempts to delay the item based on irrelevant matters. He highlighted the importance of the item and noted it would create 9000 affordable and/or workforce-housing units over a three (3) year span to help residents. Commissioner McGhee requested the County Attorney�s Office to read his proposed amendment into the record.
Assistant County Attorney Smith announced that the foregoing proposed resolution would be amended to (1) Include language at the end of the sentence in Section 2, Subsection (i), to read, �The restricted covenant required herein shall include a provision that permits the County to monitor and enforce compliance with the restricted covenant including ensuring that each owner and developer receiving funds under the grant program maintain their affordable and workforce housing units as affordable during the entire duration of the minimum affordability period described in this section.�; and (2) Insert the phrase �including but not limited to the monitoring requirements set forth in Section 2(i) of this resolution� in Section 4 of the resolution, between the words �as Section 2 and 3 of this resolution.�
Commissioner McGhee called the question.
Commissioners Martinez, Heyman and Sosa requested they be added as co-sponsors.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board adopted the foregoing proposed resolution, as amended.

REPORT:
Commissioner Garcia requested clarification as to the intent of the foregoing item.
Mr. Pedro Garcia, Miami-Dade Property Appraiser, explained a recent court order dissolved the condominium and transferred ownership to a receiver. He noted the Truth in Millage (TRIM) notices would be sent to the receiver pending the sale of the property to a third party in early August. Mr. Garcia advised that ownership to the third party would be recorded once the sale was finalized, and a single tax bill for the entire property would then be generated for the new owner.
Commissioner Garcia stated that while he recognized the intent of the item, he questioned whether the foregoing proposed resolution/urging would help in light of the recent court ruling.
Commissioner Regalado asked whether taxes were being assessed on the land value or the destroyed building, and requested clarification as to which taxes were being waived.
Mr. Garcia clarified that the Property Appraiser�s office removed the building�s value for the 2021 taxes following the collapse of the Champlain Tower South. He noted following this initial adjustment, his office worked alongside the Florida legislature to completely abate all 2021 taxes. Mr. Garcia explained that two (2) different legislations were adopted by the Florida legislature; the first removed the building value for any future calamities similar to the Champlain Tower collapse; while the second legislation applied solely to the Champlain Tower property and completely abated taxes for 2021.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava spoke about the importance of the item.
Chairman Diaz pointed out that the foregoing item was simply an urging.
Mr. Garcia reiterated that the legal title holder for the property was now the �receiver� pending the sale of the property to a third party. He reviewed the timeframe for the mailing of the TRIM notices and the tax bills, and noted the notices and bills would not be sent to the original condominium owners.
Following repeated requests by Commissioner Regalado for clarification as to what taxes may be outstanding in light of the fact that the Florida legislature abated the 2021 taxes, Commissioner McGhee directed his colleagues� attention to Pages 3 and 4 of the item�s memorandum. He read into the record the first �Whereas� clause on Page 4, and stated the intent of the foregoing item was to urge the Florida legislature to take any actions necessary to ensure the original property owners were not held responsible for any outstanding tax balances.
Commissioner Regalado requested Mr. Garcia provide any pertinent information to Commissioner McGhee.
Chairman Diaz urged Mr. Garcia meet with Commissioner McGhee.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board adopted the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.
