The following persons appeared before the Board in connection with Agenda Item 6B1:

Mr. Doel Acosta, 9880 NW 86 Place, Doral, Florida, commented on the fire that occurred at the Covanta Waste-to-Energy plant located in Doral. He asked the Board to reconsider alternative sites for the new proposed incinerator plant.

Mr. Odel Torres, 10250 NW 66 Street, Doral, Florida, urged the Board to identify another site for the plant.

Mr. Joaquin Kunzendorf, minor, (address exempt) noted the school he attended was located less than a mile away from the plant. He noted the effects the fire had on the community and its residents in the surrounding area and urged the Board and the City of Doral to relocate the plant for the safety of Doral residents.

Mr. Juan De Maqua, 6327 NW 104 Path, Doral, Florida, urged the Board to move the plant to an alternative site.

Ms. Ana Vale, 10365 NW 66 Street, Doral, Florida, submitted photos to the Clerk of the Board and spoke about her personal experience and the effect of fire on the area.

Mr. Josef Correa, 7631 NW 102 Place, Doral, Florida, spoke about the effect of the fire on the community, the surrounding communities and its residents. He urged the Board to look for another site and look out for the well-being of the Miami-Dade community and to solve its waste management problem.

Mr. Sebastian Caicedo, 10800 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, Florida, Regional Director, Florida Rising, informed the Board about Florida Rising�s concern with the environmental policies of the County. He noted the incinerator in Doral was a big problem for the Doral residents and other municipalities. Mr. Caicedo commented the recent incident at the incinerator reminded us of what could occur at these types of facilities and we should not endanger the communities. He encouraged the Board to follow the County Mayor�s lead in identifying another way to manage waste and not expose the community in order to have a better environmental future.

Ms. Selma Garcia, 6306 NW 105 Place, Doral, Florida, spoke about the environmental issues in the Doral area, which were magnified by the recent event that occurred on February 12, 2023 at the Covanta trash plant. She noted it was time to make an informed decision on how to manage waste in Miami-Dade County without affecting the surrounding communities.

Mr. Rafael Gomez, 7403 SW 82 Street, Miami, Florida, spoke in support of the comments made by previous speakers about moving the trash plant to a different site. In addition, he made brief comments and spoke in connection to Agenda Item 6B2.

Ms. Christi Fraga, City of Doral Mayor, 8401 NW 53 Terrace, Doral, Florida, spoke about the recent fire at the Waste-to-Energy plant operated by Covanta, located within the City of Doral which persisted for approximately two weeks. She thanked the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue for their prompt and diligent response; the County Mayor and her entire team for their consistent updates and communications with the City of Doral leadership team; the Board members for taking her telephone calls and listening to her pleas. She also thanked the Board members who joined her on site and in the Doral community to view the impacts on the community. Mayor Fraga urged the Board members who had not done so already, to visit the site for themselves and noted the incident affected the neighbors, schools, parks and businesses in the area. She stated the future operation and redevelopment of the plant was now in question and noted the issue of waste management was a countywide issue. Mayor Fraga emphasized that the plant had been a source of concern for the Doral residents for many years and the plant�s close proximity to several residential areas, was a source of increased traffic, horrible smells and negatively impacted resident�s health and the area�s environment and air quality. She pointed out independent studies had shown that exposure to hazardous air pollutants could lead to serious risks such as respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological problems. Mayor Fraga concluded her comments by stating that the plant operated in Doral for over 40 years and while some measures were taken in the past to address pollution concerns; these measures had not been adequate or effective enough. Mayor Fraga urged the County to take action on considering long-term waste management solutions and relocating the plant to a more appropriate location.

Mr. Rafael Pineyro, City of Doral Vice Mayor, 8401 NW 53 Terrace, Doral, Florida, spoke about the ongoing frustrations the Doral community had felt for years regarding the Covanta Waste-to-Energy facility located in Doral. He stated the incident that occurred on February 12, 2023 should serve to set the course for a long awaited decision on the relocation of the plant. Vice Mayor Pineyro noted the residents had consistently complained about the facility�s negative effect on their quality of life, air quality and property values. He informed the Board that there were two fires prior to the most recent incident, and stated the City of Doral was willing to defend and protect the quality of life of its residents. He argued the facility had constantly affected the quality of life, health, welfare, safety of the residents, businesses and visitors and urged the Board to consider and identify other areas outside of the City of Doral to relocate the facility.

Mr. Mackenzie Marcelin, Climate Justice Director, Florida Rising, 3811 West State Road 84, Davie, Florida, noted the Doral community had complained for years about the plant�s odor and for the closure of the plant. He informed the Board four fire incidents had occurred at the Covanta incinerator plant facility urged the Board to consider the permanent closure of the incinerator and move toward a zero waste plan that did not include a brand new incinerator in the County. Mr. Marcelin stated the zero waste plan would create jobs across the county municipalities and to ensure every resident had access to clean air and land.

Ms. Ivette Gonzalez Petkovich, President of the Doral Community Coalition and a Doral resident, 10352 NW 46 Terrace, Doral, Florida, provided an historical background on the Waste-to-Energy facility. She urged the Board to follow the recommendations of the experts (Arcadis) who the County Commission had hired on the subject matter. She asked that the Board be fair to all residents of Miami-Dade County and make a well thought out decision. Ms. Petkovich stated being fair would require a comprehensive site evaluation.

Carmen Mtos, 7660 NW 103 Court, Doral, Florida, spoke about her personal health experience. She urged the Board to take into account the community�s voice and health on this issue.

Ms. Maureen Porras, City of Doral Councilwoman, 4370 NW 107 Avenue, Doral, Florida, thanked the Board members who had visited the Covanta facility and asked the Board to consider discontinuing use of the facility, relocating the facility to an area removed from residential development, to explore a future of zero waste as a long-term solution.

Ms. Gina Romero, 10933 NW 43 Lane, Doral, Florida, spoke about the importance of the County exploring zero waste solution and take control of the situation

He urged the Board to vote against the building of a new plant at the same location and requested the current plant be relocated.

Mr. Nestor Perez, attorney for Florida Rising, Earth Justice, 4500 Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 201, Miami, Florida, asked the Board to rescind the decision to build a new trash plant facility in Doral. He commented on the imminent danger presented by these types of facilities and the impact on residents.

  REPORT: Commissioner Regalado proffered a friendly amendment that specific priorities be added for water quality, septic to sewer and infrastructure projects. She asked that the Miami-Dade Innovation Authority, Inc. (MDIAI) prioritize these projects because the issues were of countywide importance. Commissioner Regalado spoke about the importance of including �guardrails� to provide the Board more oversight on the types of projects processed by the MDIAI.

Chairman Gilbert III rejected the proffered amendment and noted the items mentioned by Commissioner Regalado were already on the County Mayor�s list of items.

In response to Commissioner Bermudez� comments regarding a matrix to see measure the effectiveness of MDIAI, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava voiced her enthusiasm regarding the initiative and explained the Administration�s involvement and role. She pointed out the grant agreement contained reporting requirements and assured the Board members that the reports would be presented to the Board.

There being no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution as presented.

  REPORT: Commissioner Cohen Higgins� questioned the lack of a grants process and the waiver of R-130-06 which requires contracts executed by all non-County parties be done prior to presentation to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC/Board) for approval.

In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� question, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava explained the contained in the foregoing proposed resolution was previously approved by legislation (R-950-21) sponsored by former Commissioner Jean Monestime. She stated the legislation was part of an initiative to provide a financial boast to small businesses that would have a positive impact on the community. Mayor Levine Cava provided an overview of the grant disbursement process and noted the Administration was working on improving the existing processes.

Mayor Levine Cava assured the Board members that there would be a complete review of the process.

Commissioner Steinberg concurred with Commissioner Cohen Higgins� concerns related to the process and commented on the ambiguity of the administration�s memorandum. She did however recognize the benefits of the grant process and noted there were many businesses that could benefit from such grants.

In response to the comments made by Commissioners Cohen Higgins and Steinberg, Mr. Michaeljohn �MJ� Green, Deputy Director, Economic Development, provided an overview of the community outreach efforts and noted an email was sent to each Board member to help contact and attract small businesses to the program.

Commissioner Cabrera echoed Commissioners Cohen Higgins and Steinberg�s comments, and stated it would have been helpful to have the information stated by Mr. Green outlined in the memorandum for the item. He recommended future memorandums include additional information such as the verbal report provided by Mr. Green.

Commissioner Regalado reviewed the intent of the foregoing item. She noted the administration of the Mom and Pop grant funding, which was available to all Commission Districts was similar to the process outline for the grants referenced in the foregoing item.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins requested clarification as to why two grantees outlined in the foregoing item received awards of $100,000, while the remaining grantees received $50,000.

Mr. Green explained the awardees receiving the $100,000 grant amounts were the leaders of individual grant categories, and the remaining recipients received $50,000.

There being no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution as presented.

  REPORT: Commissioner McGhee spoke about the benefits of the program and commented on the importance of ensuring equitable access to all South-Dade residents.

Commissioner McGhee asked that the foregoing proposed resolution be amended to include an organization from South Dade to participate with the Miami Worker�s Center (the Center) group. He requested to double the funds to the Miami Worker�s Center to cover the entire Miami-Dade County and specifically South Dade participants. Commissioner McGhee asked that the Center collaborate with the Coalition of Clergy and Pastors in the South Dade community led by Pastor Alphonso Jackson, Second Baptist Church.

Assistant County Attorney Leigh Kobrinski stated that Commissioner McGhee sought to amend the foregoing proposed resolution to add the following language:

�..To direct the County Mayor or County Mayor�s Designee to identify an additional $384,184 in the American Rescue Plan Act funds to be allocated to the Miami Workers Center under the agreement, in a new total amount not to exceed $768,368.00, and to direct the County Mayor Or County Mayor�s Designee to take appropriate measures using these funds to ensure that the services being provided under the agreement are accessible to residents of South Dade to ensure equitable access to and participation in the Eviction Diversion Pilot Program.�

Commissioner Bastien accepted the amendment offered by Commissioner McGhee.

A discussion ensued between Commissioners Steinberg and McGhee regarding his rationale for doubling the funds.

Commissioner Higgins expressed her concern with the item�s funding source and stated it was her understanding that the funding source was to be used to launch the County�s Driver License Suspension activities.

In response to Commissioner Higgins� request for a clarification on the funding source, Mr. David Clodfelter, Director, Office of Management Budget, stated he would need to revisit the fiscal impact of the federal American Rescue Plan Act funds.

Following Mr. Clodfelter�s response, Commissioner Higgins stated she would support the amendment proffered by Commissioner McGhee as long as it did not affect the Driver License Suspension Taskforce projects. She further stated the Board should work with Mr. Clodfelter to identify the right funding source.

A discussion ensued among the Board members and Ms. Sandra Dennis, Miami Workers Center, regarding the organization�s outreach and partnerships initiatives to achieve the objectives of the agreement.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins voiced her concerns regarding the �Eviction Diversion Program� being cited as a part of the title of the foregoing proposed resolution.

A further discussion ensued among the Board members regarding the amendment proffered by Commissioner McGhee.

He clarified the intent of his amendment was to provide the Center additional financial resources to increase the reach in the South Dade community. He also noted the Center would use the expansion of the funds to collaborate with the coalition of community leaders, pastors and other organizations in South Dade that would be able to assist with the Center�s outreach efforts. Commissioner McGhee stated he believed the program would lessen the amount of cases processed by the court system and the program would ensure South Dade residents had access to the resources.

Commissioner Higgins stated the only way she would support the amendment would be to add clarifying language that the funding source would not affect the implementation of the Driver License Suspension Taskforce. She further stated she would offer a friendly amendment to state an alternative funding source should be identified.

Mr. Clodfelter clarified the fiscal impact stated $2.9 million of federal American Rescue Plan Act funds. He also noted there was some unallocated funds available in the Miami-Dade Rescue Act Plan that could be used.

Commissioner Bastien asked that Commissioner McGhee remove his amendment because it was only a pilot program.

Commissioner McGhee noted Mr. Clodfelter informed the Board of the availability of funding for use to fund the amendment.

A discussion ensued among Commissioners Regalado, McGhee and Mr. Clodfelter regarding the Miami-Dade Rescue Plan Infrastructure Projects Programs funds and other funding sources to accomplish the scope of work outlined in the agreement for the foregoing proposed resolution.

Commissioner Regalado stated she supported the item as presented without the proffered amendment.

Commissioner Bastien rejected the amendment proffered by Commissioner McGhee.

Commissioner Bermudez suggested Commissioner McGhee collaborate with the entities the County was working with including the Miami Workers Center to address his concerns about the South Dade area.

Commissioner McGhee stated he would withdraw his amendment and noted his intent to bring forth legislation to address his concern.

Chairman Gilbert III stated he supported the item and the pilot program. He pointed out he would be interested in the matrix and how the Administration would report the information.

In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� request for a clarification of the funding source, Mayor Levine Cava explained the Miami-Dade Rescue Plan funds was a one-time allocation used to fund the pilot program.

Commissioner Hardemon requested the foregoing proposed resolution be amended to require a report identifying the attorneys hired to administer the program, be submitted to the Board 60 days following the adoption of the item.

Commissioner Bastien accepted the amendment offered by Commissioner Hardemon.

Commissioner McGhee asked for amendment to breakdown the information requested by Commission District and the contacts for each district.

Commissioner Bastien rejected the amendment proffered by Commissioner McGhee.

Chairman Gilbert III stated there would be reporting for the item; therefore, the Board would know who was hired and where the monies was spent.

There being no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as amended to request the Administration to provide a report to the Board in 60-days following the adoption of the item detailing the attorneys hired to perform the scope of work outlined in the item.

SPECIAL NOTE: County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan advised the foregoing item contained a scrivener�s error and the funding source on the fiscal impact statement should be corrected to read �the Miami-Dade Rescue Plan General Fund.�

  230508 Report      
  COMMISSIONER HIGGINS PRESENTED A MOTION REGARDING LEGISLATIVE FILE 230405 Presented
  REPORT: During discussion of Agenda Item 11A6, Commissioner Higgins presented a motion to by a two-thirds vote of the Board members present to suspend the Board�s Rules of Procedure relating to the Chairperson authority to place legislative items on the appropriate agenda of the Board and its committees. In addition, waive committee review in respect to legislative file number 230405, in order to place this ordinance on today�s (3/7) agenda of the Board of County Commissioners (Board) for first reading and to set public hearing and the second reading at the April 4, 2023, Board meeting following the required notice and publication; and moved further to amend Agenda Item 15B1 accordingly. Commissioner Rodriguez seconded this motion.

Chairman Gilbert, III expressed his disagreement with Commissioner Higgins motion and proceeded to make his comments regarding the County Mayor�s role and responsibility in the appointment and removal of County Department Directors and its Administration staff members. Chairman Gilbert, III stated that he was reviewing Commissioner Higgins� proposed item. He pointed out the proposal presented by Commissioner Higgins creates a shadowed housing department with the ability to issue request for proposals (RFP). Chairman Gilbert, III commented which would seem too encroached on the authority given to the County Mayor. He stated this Board was policymakers and Commissioner Higgins� proposed item would create an actual department to oversee housing when the County actually has a department to run housing. Therefore, Chairman Gilbert, III stated whether we agree with the decisions of the County Mayor or not; he was not in favor of Commissioner Higgins� motion and the waiver of committee review of subject item.

The Board members held a discussion regarding the timing of the decision to bring forth the legislation proposed by Commissioner Higgins regarding the creating of the Office of Strategic Housing Development (the �Housing Development Office�) and the potential unintended consequences of having both departments (Public Housing and Community Development and Housing Development Office); and the Housing Development Office Director reporting structure and function.

Commissioner Bermudez heard the concerns and stressed this item should go to committee.

County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan clarified the motion on the floor was a procedural one.

Assistant County Attorney Monica Rizo Perez provided an overview of the reporting structure in which the director shall report to and receive direction from the Board and the Chairperson of the County Commission (�Chair�).

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava expressed her opposition to this item.

Commissioner Higgins expressed her concern with not finding the extra help to drive this Board�s project forward. She stated she was worried her in the interim and she believed the Administration had the capacity to move the projects forward at the rate we need them to move forward.

Commissioner Bastien, as chair of the Housing Committee, she would vote �No� against the motion and could four-day rule the motion, and stated she not support the creation of a new department without committee review.

Following an extension discussion among the Board members, the motion presented by Commissioner Higgins failed by a roll call vote of 3-9, (Commissioners Higgins, McGhee, Regalado voted �Yes�, Commissioners Bastien, Bermudez, Cabrera, Cohen Higgins, Hardemon, Gonzalez, Rodriguez, Steinberg and Chairman Gilbert voted �No�, and Commissioner Garcia was absent).

  REPORT: During discussion of Agenda 6B1, Commissioner Bermudez made a motion that the Board: (1) rescind Resolution Number R-728-22, which authorized and approved the selection of the existing resources recovery facility site for a new Waste to Energy (WTE) Facility, (2) authorize the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to analyze and recommend an alternate site for new WTE facility to replace the existing resources recovery facility, (3) direct the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to explore alternative technologies to WTE facility, and (4) direct the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to prepare a report regarding said analysis and recommendation within 90-days and place the completed report on the Board agenda without committee review pursuant to Rule 5.06 (j) of the Board�s Rules of Procedure. Commissioner Regalado seconded this motion.

Commissioner Regalado thanked Commissioner Bermudez for his motion. She added that consideration of an alternative use at the existing site should take place. Commissioner Regalado stressed it was also, important to obtain details from the Administration on how long the investigation and how long the demolition would take and where those items would be placed until the investigation was completed along with other factors.

A discussion ensued between Commissioner Regalado and Bermudez regarding an alternative use at the existing site, the pending results of the investigation, the status of the investigation, the legal issues surrounding the incident, and the report coming forth from the County Mayor as requested to address and discuss any and all issues, which this Board could discuss in order to make the right decision, and the discussion should include the environmental, traffic, and health factors.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated she did not support waiver of committee review and the floor motion, which should have been an item on the agenda separately from the discussion item.

In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� comments regarding the report requested as part of Commissioner Bermudez motion, Commissioner Bermudez explained his intent was not to redo the report already provided. He stated the Administration would receive new information on why the fire happen, and who was responsible. Commissioner Bermudez stated the report he was requesting would be a status report based on the July 2022, completed report with new information based on the fire incident.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava stated the Administration would provide an update on the recommendations outlined in the original report.

Michael Fernandez, Director, Department of Solid Waste Management, stated the Administration would review the current report provided by Arcadis more extensively to provide the pros and cons of using the sites recommended in the report along with a cost analysis.

Commissioner McGhee spoke in support of the Commissioner Bermudez� motion.

A discussion among the Board members, County Mayor Levine Cava and Mr. Fernandez ensued regarding exploring alternative technologies to the WTE facility.

The Board members and County Mayor Levine Cava proceeded to have a further discussion in regards to continuation of exploring options for the siting alternatives for a new waste to energy plant; and Mayor Levine Cava stated she supported Commissioner Bermudez� motion.

The Board voted to rescind Resolution Number R-728-22, which authorized and approved the selection of the existing resources recovery facility site for a new Waste to Energy (WTE) Facility, authorize the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to analyze and recommend an alternate site for new WTE facility to replace the existing resources recovery facility, direct the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to explore alternative technologies to WTE facility, and direct the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to prepare a report regarding said analysis and recommendation within 90-days and to place the report on the Board agenda without committee review pursuant to Rule 5.06 (j) of the Board�s Rules of Procedure.

This motion will be memorialized in the form of a resolution and assigned Resolution Number R-240-23.
