  REPORT ON CERTIFICATES OF USE ISSUED TO RURAL EVENT VENUES IN THE AU, AGRICULTURE ZONING DISTRICT IN COUNTY COMMISSION DISTRICT 8 � DIRECTIVE NO. 221965(Mayor) Accepted
Report
Mover: Danielle Cohen Higgins
Seconder: Anthony Rodriguez
Vote: 12 - 1
No: McGhee
  REPORT: Commissioner McGhee commented on the possible amendment of the noise ordinance, and inquired if it was adopted, who would determine what level of noise was considered a nuisance based on amendment of the Miami-Dade County Code.

In response to Commissioner McGhee�s inquiry, Ms. Lourdes Gomez, Director, Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER), stated the Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) would respond to the noise complaints and presumably enforce the ordinance if the Board adopted standards to enact decibel levels in the noise ordinance.

Commissioner McGhee stated normally when someone called the police to make a complaint, they questioned how the level of noise would be determined a nuisance.

Officer Thomas Buchanan, Assistant Director, Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD), Police Services, stated the MDPD currently enforced the noise ordinance and a decibel meter would be more accurate and helpful with enforcement, rather than each officer subjectively determining whether the noise was at a decibel level that violated the current Miami-Dade County noise ordinance.

A brief discussion ensued between Commissioner McGhee and Assistant Director Buchanan regarding the noise nuisance and the use of meters to determine violation of the noise ordinance.

Commissioner McGhee expressed concern that amendment of the noise ordinance may weaponize some groups in the area who would like to see certain agritourism destinations and locations on Krome Avenue shut down. He recalled when individuals were pulled over in their vehicles for loud noises which was subjectively applied; this led to probable cause to search the vehicle which resulted in false arrests or false accusations. Commissioner McGhee stated he did not wish similar action to be taken against farmers in the area.

In response to Commissioner McGhee�s comments regarding the report only being applicable to County Commission District 8, Assistant County Attorney Lauren Morse advised the report was for District 8, but if an ordinance was adopted it would be applied countywide.

Assistant County Attorney Abbie Schwaderer-Raurell noted staff was responding to the recommendations outlined in the foregoing report. She stated the scope of any proposed changes to the noise ordinance would be the Board�s decision. Assistant County Attorney Schwaderer-Raurell noted the current noise ordinance applied throughout the County and was not limited to one particular district.

Mayor Levine Cava stated she was familiar with this issue and commended Commissioner Cohen Higgins for requesting the foregoing report. She noted these issues applied across the board especially to the areas outside the Urban Development Boundary (UDB). Mayor Levine Cava mentioned the efforts of the administration to create different revenue streams to help support the County�s agriculture sector, but noted some had taken advantage of this and created quality of life issues. She stated the administration had a process and rules for venues to apply to be part of agritourism, but nearly 70 of the active rural event venues had not tried to complete the process to obtain a certificate of use (CU). Mayor Levine Cava indicated the administration wanted to find methods to balance the interest of the farming community, the agriculture industry and the needs of people to utilize their property for other purposes that did not interfere with the tranquility of the entire County.

Commissioner McGhee requested Ms. Gomez prepare and provide a report on Certificates of Use issued to rural event venues in the AU, Agriculture Zoning District in County Commission District 9, including a list of the locations with violations.

Commissioner McGhee asked that any proposed amendments to the noise ordinance should include language to address individuals who were making false claims.

Commissioner Regalado noted her concern about the report not mentioning the current conflict with the State and the Department of Environmental Resource Management dealing with the issue of septic to sewer when issuing the Certificate of Use.

Chairman Gilbert, III stated a subjective standard could be enforced that would allow an officer to deem the noise unreasonably loud and shut down the event.

There being no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote to accept the foregoing report as presented.

Report
Mover: Anthony Rodriguez
Seconder: Roberto J. Gonzalez
Vote: 13 - 0
  REPORT: Commissioner Gonzalez commented that illegal dumping was a huge problem in Commission District 11 and he inquired about the number of officers assigned to illegal dumping detail.

In response to Commissioner Gonzalez� inquiry, Assistant Director, Officer Tom Buchanan, Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD), stated 2 sergeants and 11 investigators were assigned to this particular detail. He noted all MDPD officers enforced illegal dumping; however, the investigations were done by a specific squad. Officer Buchanan said the squad was under the department�s Agricultural Patrol Section housed in South Miami-Dade but had a countywide responsibility for illegal dumping.

Commissioner Gonzalez asked the administration for a report of the breakdown by Commission district of the 539 investigative cases that were completed.

Mayor Levine Cava clarified that this was a partnership between MDPD and the Department of Solid Waste Management.

Chief Operations Officer Jimmy Morales stated this would only reflect unincorporated areas and cities such as Palmetto Bay that were under the MDPD�s jurisdiction.

Commissioner Gonazalez asked, and Assistant Director Buchanan confirmed, that 13 individuals conducted investigations in all of Miami-Dade County unincorporated areas.

  REPORT: County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the foregoing proposed resolution into the record.

Chairman Gilbert, III opened the public hearing; seeing no come forward, the public hearing was closed.

Mayor Levine Cava spoke regarding the foregoing proposed resolution and stated the administration carefully vetted Kaseya as a potential naming rights sponsor for the Miami-Dade Arena. She noted Kaseya, a local company headquartered in Brickell, had a $2 billion valuation and was undergoing massive expansion, including plans to add 3,400 new, well-paid local jobs in Miami. Mayor Levine Cava pointed out that Kaseya was in existence for over 20 years and had a proven track record in information technology and security management solutions. She mentioned that with this agreement Miami-Dade County was slated to receive $4.9 million annually, on average, compared to $4.7 million with the County�s prior deal.
Mayor Levine Cava advised that as part of the vetting process, Kaseya provided the County with an irrevocable letter of credit (�ILOC�) from their financial institution that guaranteed the next 18 months of contractual revenue and this helped to ensure the sustainability of this agreement. She remarked that Chief Financial Officer Edward Marquez and his team conducted due diligence on the company and ensured that certain financial protections were incorporated in the agreement, including the ILOC; and Chief Operating Officer Jimmy Morales, and Office of Management and Budget Assistant Director Dan Wall, worked with the County Attorney�s Office to negotiate the strongest, possible deal. Mayor Levine Cava stated the administration conducted research to confirm the naming rights agreement was competitive with similar agreements in other markets. She added that the naming rights agreement also funds the County�s Peace and Prosperity Plan initiated through Commissioner Hardemon�s sponsorship, and was key to opening doors for the County�s young people, preventing violence and increasing public safety.

Mayor Levine Cava stated Kaseya was the kind of business that should be grown in the County, noting since establishing their headquarters in Miami-Dade in 2018, they had expanded twice, and was growing the County�s technology eco-system. She commented that Kaseya was ready to be a committed partner and to continue delivering solutions in Miami-Dade. Mayor Levine Cava requested the Board�s support for the naming rights agreement.

Commissioner Gonzalez stated he would support the foregoing resolution; however, he expressed concern regarding the future value of the contract payments as the county was not provided a net present value analysis; questioned the potential impact if Kaseya, a privately-held company, became a public company; and inquired whether anyone had seen Kaseya�s records. Commissioner Gonzalez noted the Mayor�s memorandum stated that Kaseya was a privately-owned company; their major investors were private equity firms; two of their largest investors were inside partners and TPG, a publicly-traded company and a leading alternative asset management firm founded in San Francisco in 1992 with $135 billion of assets under management, as of 2022; and their plans to create many jobs in Miami-Dade County. He observed that when recommended for a relocation and expansion incentives program (REIF) grant, the memorandum stated the Beacon Council was not provided with any company financial statements to support this effort. Commissioner Gonzalez stated the Board was basing its decision on trust for a great deal of money and questioned why the ILOC was necessary if the administration was sure Kaseya exceeded the financial strength and stability to honor its commitments under the proposed naming rights agreement.

Commissioner Gonzalez stated that in deference to Commissioner Hardemon, the District commissioner, and pending his colleagues� comments, he was inclined towards supporting the foregoing resolution with reservations.

Commissioner Higgins spoke in support of the foregoing resolution and commended Kaseya for their support of Commissioner Hardemon�s and the Board�s goals to fight gun violence in the community. She stated that Kaseya had moved its corporate headquarters to Miami-Dade, had over a thousand employees, and had committed to adding 3,400 jobs. Commissioner Higgins pointed out that Kaseya recently expanded their signed leases and had over 250,000 square feet of office space, paying property tax revenue and providing administrative jobs. She thanked Kaseya for their commitment to the community and expressed her delight that they had chosen Miami-Dade County as their home. Commissioner Higgins stated the Kaseya Center would be named for a responsible company that had shown it could grow, had grown, and had managed to keep employees employed for many years.

Assistant County Attorney Monica Rizo read the following amendments into the record:

on typed page 128 of the foregoing proposed resolution, the following words should be inserted at the end of the first sentence in section 5.6 of the contract:

�in substantially the form set forth as exhibit 4 to this agreement.� She stated exhibit 4 was included in the supplement that was provided to the Board members.

the following words should be inserted at the end of the second sentence in section 5.6:

�in accordance with exhibit 3 to this agreement.� She stated exhibit 3 was the schedule of the irrevocable letter of credit (�ILOC�) and the amounts which were distributed to the Board members.

the following words should be inserted in the middle of the last sentence in section 5.6 prior to the phrase �the county shall be entitled to draw upon the ILOC by making a written request to issuer:�

�for failure to timely make a naming rights partner default payment due under 9.2.4 of this agreement�

the following words should be inserted at the beginning of section 6.1 of the contract:

� except as contemplated herein and in the naming rights facilitation agreement from the effective date . . .�
Assistant County Attorney Rizo advised the administration had indicated that while the item that was attached to the agenda did not include the executed page for the contract, they had that page in their possession and it was timely provided to the administration.

Commissioner Bastien directed questions to Chief Operations Officer Jimmy Morales, Office of the Mayor, regarding the number of proposals that were received; the rationale for selecting Kaseya and whether there were other applications.

Chief Operations Officer Morales stated the administration spoke to five entities, received two financial proposals, and three other entities did not pursue the items. He noted the administration received proposals from Aroma 360; Wild fork; IHeart Radio; and a broker for UBS. Chief Morales explained that the administration selected Kaseya as the County would be receiving $3.5 million more over a 17-year period from Kaseya, and they were a local company that was active in the community and had a proven track record in a stable industry. Chief Morales discussed the timing of the sponsorship and commented on the County Code�s provision regarding sponsorships. He noted 17 years were left on the management agreement with the Miami Heat and the County could not sell more than 17 years of a naming right. Chief Morales advised the county would receive a $3.7 million payment in June 2023, a full year of payment next year, the Miami Heat had to activate the building in time for the next basketball season over the summer, and the broker commission could be as high as ten percent resulting in an $11.7 million payment. He opined for these reasons, the administration felt it was in the best interest of the County to act now rather than going through a process that might not result in a vendor that was good as Kaseya.

Chief Morales stated the ILOC provided extra assurance that the County would receive a year and a half of guaranteed payments, plus a three-year claim under the contract in any kind of bankruptcy or litigation.

Chief Morales acknowledged the presence of Ms. Kathy Wagner, Kaseya�s Chief Financial Officer; and Mr. Xavier Gonzalez, Executive Vice President, whom he noted were prepared to answer any questions.

Commissioner Bastien indicated that she would support the foregoing resolution; however, she requested the administration conduct due diligence and be more transparent in the future.

Chairman Gilbert, III asked to be listed as a co-sponsor of this item.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins congratulated Mayor Levine Cava for expeditiously identifying a candidate for the arena without a ten percent broker�s or finder�s fee; and the required ILOC to protect the County in the event of a default.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins requested a representative from Kaseya to come forward.

Mr. Xavier Gonzalez, Executive Vice President, Kaseya, 701 Brickell Avenue, Miami Florida, appeared before the Board.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins directed questions to Mr. Gonzalez regarding Kaseya, formerly Project Xray, a project which was approved by the Board in February 2023. She commented that Project Xray was a Beacon Council led project that was brought to the Board and the Board approved certain incentives and programs on a confidential basis to incentivize this company to relocate to Miami-Dade County and to create jobs. Commissioner Cohen Higgins asked whether Kaseya had honored their obligations that were represented to the Board which resulted in the board allocating $4.5 million to Kaseya last month. She also asked whether Kaseya was making the $16 million investment, and if so, how much was invested.

Mr. Gonzalez stated as it related to project Xray, Kaseya submitted its application in December 2022; and started hiring employees presumed in the application and expanding into new office space in the Wells Fargo Center in downtown Miami. He noted Kaseya had added approximately 100,000 square feet of Class A office space to house additional employees. Mr. Gonzalez remarked that with project Xray, Kaseya would be hiring approximately 3,400 new employees in Miami-Dade County over the next three years. He stated investment into the space was ongoing and Kaseya was completing expansion in one of its buildings at 777 Brickell Avenue and completing additional expansion and refurbishments in an office at 800 Brickell Avenue. Mr. Gonzalez noted that a significant amount of work had already been invested.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins directed further questions to Mr. Gonzalez regarding Kaseya�s commitment to employ 3,400 new employees; whether they had received the $4.5 million from the County; and their litigation cases.

Mr. Gonzalez stated Kaseya had approximately 850 employees in Miami and was closing in on 1,000 employees, thus adding a significant number of new employees to Miami-Dade County within the first quarter of 2023. He explained that once Kaseya worked with the County administration to prove that it added Miami-Dade residents and that information was audited, they would begin receiving some of the rebates. Mr. Gonzalez stated that none of Kaseya�s litigation cases should cause concern.

Commissioner Garcia stated he voted against this item last year; however, he would be voting in support of the foregoing resolution as Kaseya was an American-based company based in Miami-Dade County. He thanked Commissioner Hardemon for sponsoring the resolution and thanked Kaseya for working with the Mayor and the County Administration, and noted he looked forward to the County partnering with Kaseya.

Commissioner Hardemon spoke in support of the foregoing resolution, noting the Board had decided to invest in the future of the community. He commented on the Peace and Prosperity Plan which provided for gun violence prevention and increased public safety. Commissioner Hardemon stated the County had taken one hundred percent of its proceeds and invested it into the naming rights agreement. He noted the agreement provided the County with a funding opportunity to demonstrate the Board�s support for the community and the county�s future. Commissioner Hardemon challenged his colleagues to continue supporting the Peace and Prosperity Plan in an effort to spend less on arrests and housing inmates in Miami-Dade County. He expressed his appreciation to Kaseya for hiring Miami-Dade County residents, and noted Kaseya recognized that more Miami-Dade County residents would be aware of who they were once the arena was renamed the Kaseya Center. Commissioner Hardemon added that once the arena was renamed, the community would be aware of job opportunities and the paid internship program through the Peace and Prosperity Plan.

Commissioner Hardemon stated that he was excited about this item as he saw a responsible government pivot. He thanked the county attorneys for facilitating the County to proceed to the next naming rights deal; and Mayor Levine Cava and the administration for moving expeditiously in reaching a prudent agreement. Commissioner Hardemon stated that Kaseya offered to honor the contract the County had for 19 years and supported the initiative being put forth. He noted the County was not giving anything away and Kaseya was paying the County for the opportunity to display their name on the County arena.

There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution with the amendments read into the record by Assistant County Attorney Rizo.

  REPORT: County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.

Chairman Gilbert, III explained the intent of the foregoing proposed ordinance. He noted that some of the violations and the imposition of fines for the property owners were valid. Chairman Gilbert, III commented that most code violations were reported by neighbors and prior to issuance of citation(s) a Miami-Dade County code enforcement officer(s) would validate the violation(s). He concluded his comments by stating there were some unintended precedential consequences being set by the proposed ordinance.

Commissioner Regalado noted the Hammocks Community Association development was in a unique situation because they were paying association fees that were two to three hundred times more than what they were paying before. She pointed out the residents were having a hard time paying fees and paying for violations. Commissioner Regalado noted this was an egregious situation and she informed the Board of the discussion held at the committee meeting regarding the original proposal which was limited to residents who had homestead exemption having more time to pay. She noted the judges� ruling on this matter and the intent to allow more time to resolve the matter outlined in the proposed ordinance.

Commissioner Garcia agreed the Hammocks was in a unique situation and stated he was in favor of a moratorium to allow the residents to address the issues relating to the fines and violations.

Commissioner Gonzalez stated he did not want to set any precedent. He agreed with Commissioner Regalado in regards to this being a unique situation because the Homeowners Association�s (HOA) finances had affected the residents� ability to pay fines. Commissioner Gonzalez noted the proposed ordinance would give the residents more time to address the issues.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez stated all Hammocks HOA residents should receive the exemption. He proposed an amendment to require that the County grant an extended compliance period and a limited exception from payment of civil penalties and liens for homestead and non-homestead property owners in the Hammocks Community Association development.

Commissioner Gonzalez accepted the amendment offered by Vice Chairman Rodriguez.

Chairman Gilbert, III noted this situation was not unique and people throughout the County were paying expensive HOA fees and code violations. He stated many had violations, and in most instances, the neighbors were reporting the violations. Chairman Gilbert, III suggested perhaps the County should consider ways to allow everyone the opportunity to come into compliance.

Commissioner Higgins spoke in connection to homestead versus non-homestead properties as it related to this subject matter. She stressed the need for housing but noted she did not want to leave any empty properties or housing, wherein the property owner may or may not live on the property that may contribute to outstanding HOA fees and code violations.

In response to Commissioner Higgins� comments, Vice Chairman Rodriguez said he understood Commissioner Higgins was looking at this issue from a housing perspective; however, he opined the Board had to be fair across-the-board and the property owners in the HOA were also affected.

Commissioner Gonzalez concurred with Vice Chairman Rodriguez and stated he would like to amend the foregoing proposed ordinance to create a limited exception from payment of civil penalties and liens for both homestead and non-homestead rental properties in the Hammocks Community Association.

Commissioner Hardemon stated the County would be setting a precedent. He spoke in support of the District 11 commissioner who was assisting residents in his Commission district, and noted the Board should also consider this approach in other districts.

Commissioner Bermudez concurred with Chairman Gilbert, III�s comments regarding the setting of precedent; he also, pointed out code compliance should be the goal in every Commission District.

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

  REPORT: Commissioner Cohen Higgins inquired why the County had not sought any other vendors except the Nature Conservancy for the last 22 years.

Ms. Lourdes Gomez, Director, Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER), stated the Nature Conservancy was uniquely positioned and adept in this area and had been very successful in negotiating on behalf of the County.

Ms. Lisa Spadafina, Director, Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM), stated staff was unaware of anyone else but was planning to use this time for the extension to find a more competitive process in the future.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins expressed concern about continuing contracts for 22 years without giving anyone else the opportunity to compete for the contract. She stated the item did not include the contract, nor outline the game plan; however, it stated the Nature Conservancy would be paid $484,000.00. Commissioner Cohen Higgins inquired how much the Nature Conservancy was currently being paid, and whether this would be an increase on their current contract.

Ms. Gomez stated she would provide Commissioner Cohen Higgins with the information she requested. She noted that she understood Commissioner Cohen Higgins� comments and pointed out that this was a willing seller program, and the Nature Conservancy�s productivity depended on the willingness of those on RER�s acquisition list to negotiate with us.

A brief discussion ensued between Ms. Spadafina and Commissioner Cohen Higgins regarding the cost for the existing contract.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated the contract expired on April 19, 2023 and questioned whether staff could find a more aggressive land acquisition competitor. She indicated her support for the resolution but noted she wanted staff to be as aggressive as possible, especially in light of some new concerns regarding the acquisition of EEL lands.

Ms. Gomez said staff confirmed that they did not believe there was another entity available to do this; however, she concurred with the statements that were made about being more aggressive and expanding their efforts, and would seek to make the program stronger by evaluating the availability of possible additional vendors and would bring recommendations forward for the Board�s consideration.

Commissioner Regalado stated the contract existed for 20 years, and for 13 years, the County did not buy Environmentally Endangered Land (EEL)); the only EEL land the County was receiving were the ones that were being donated. She noted the purpose of the program was to acquire the EEL land using as little of that money as possible for the transactional fees. Commissioner Regalado stated the County would have to issue a request for proposal (RFP) and find a for-profit partner. She stressed the need for a larger budgetary allocation for the EEL Program along with hiring more staff.

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

  REPORT: The foregoing report contained a scrivener's error, and was corrected as follows:

~In the title and section 1 of the resolution, the dollar amount should read $21,559,359.00 which is consistent with the amount listed in the Mayor's memorandum.

Commissioner Bermudez commented on the foregoing proposed resolution to increase the expenditure authority for Contract 6938/22 for garbage collection and disposal services by $21 million. He stated the administration should have provided a cost-benefit analysis and a cost comparison of the services being insourced versus outsourced. Commissioner Bermudez noted insourcing was not always the best choice and he referenced the Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM)�s concerns that the dumpsters required for this transition would not be easily obtainable under current market conditions. He stated the Board also needed to understand whether market conditions would change within a certain timeframe to make the best decision. Commissioner Bermudez requested that in moving forward, administration provide the Board with the number of trucks or dumpsters that would be needed, the personnel cost, and the benefit of insourcing a service that would be outsourced within the next five years.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated that with the approval of the foregoing resolution, the Board was approving an additional $21.5 million for a total value of $58.5 million. She expressed concern that the Board was considering a company that won a procurement ten years ago for a $14 million dollar contract, and through no additional competitive solicitation, was likely to be awarded a $58.5 million contract. Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated that was an incredible amount of money to forego a competitive process. She noted the Commission Auditor was informed that market research was performed; however, this research was never provided to the Commission Auditor. Commissioner Cohen Higgins commented that the Board should not approve contracts without questioning why it was not following its own rules. She pointed out the Board�s rules required contracts to be presented to the Board 18 months before they expired so that a competitive solicitation process could occur; however, this contract was before the Board two months before its expiration. Commissioner Cohen Higgins requested staff explain why the Board should approve the contract without a competitive solicitation, and the number of contracts in all departments that were in a similar situation.

Ms. Uppal explained the contract was originally solicited for five years, with two, two-year options to renew for approximately $26 million dollars. She stated that over the years staff requested additional funds due to the levels of service that was needed, cost of living adjustments, living wage or additional facilities in the contract. Ms. Uppal acknowledged the Board�s resolution which required staff to start the re-procurement process 18 months in advance and noted staff began working with the Solid Waste Management Department in 2022. She explained that staff had engaged in lengthy negotiations with three companies and based on those negotiated rates, staff was requesting the Board to extend the contract to allow DSWM to assume the services. Ms. Uppal stated the contract included termination for convenience.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated she understood that negotiations began with the company that was awarded the contract since 2013; however, this did not comply with the Board�s rules. She reiterated her concern about blocking competition which was advantageous to every resident of Miami-Dade County and questioned what the County was not receiving as it was not competing. Commissioner Cohen Higgins requested Ms. Uppal to prepare a list identifying all outstanding contracts without a competitive solicitation that were likely to come before the Board in the future. She indicated that she would support the item but noted this situation should not occur again.

Commissioner Steinberg stated because she was unsure why the administration or the Board made the decision to insource the solid waste services; a report would be helpful for the Board members and the public to understand the rationale that resulted in this decision. She inquired what would occur during the transitional period if the administration was not fully prepared to insource the services within the five-year period. Commissioner Steinberg concurred with Commissioner Cohen Higgins� comments and requested Ms. Uppal to provide a report detailing the rationale for the contract recommendation.

Commissioner Regalado stated it was important to understand that while the Board had rules regarding Request for Proposals (RFPs), there were some post-pandemic situations in the areas of Miami-Dade Transit, Water and Sewer, and Waste Management where an RFP was issued and no one expressed interest. She stated that she had discussed a two-track process with Ms. Uppal whereby when an RFP was issued, the administration knew that it would be a sole source as they had only received a response from one person. She suggested formalizing this initial process and having that information come back to the Board and publicized so that it would be accessible to everyone. Commissioner Regalado stated the School Board conducted a show of interest and suggested the administration conduct a similar process so that vendors would not have to go through the entire RFP process but provide the County with interest and the Board could move forward and determine if an RFP was necessary. She commented that inflation had quadrupled in the business sector especially for these specialized services.

In response to Commissioner Garica�s inquiry regarding the timeframe of when an RFP was issued to the public until it became effective after any bid challenges, Ms. Uppal stated it could take between one and two years and sometimes longer depending on the complexity, the negotiations and the purchase.

Commissioner Garcia expressed the Board�s sentiment that commissioners and the public should be kept informed regarding these issues.

Commissioner Garcia informed Mayor Levine Cava of the difficulties obtaining information from some department directors and suggested the administration prepare dashboards to provide a snapshot of readily available information so the Board would be informed of the timeframe for outstanding contracts.

Commissioner Bermudez concurred with Commissioner Cohen Higgins� comments regarding a list identifying all outstanding contracts without a competitive solicitation that were likely to come before the Board in the future. He noted the administration needed to determine the most effective and efficient way to accomplish this task and suggested that the administration consider Commissioner Regalado�s reference to the School Board�s show of interest process. Commissioner Bermudez stated there was a big difference between documentation that indicated a document was issued soliciting interest and the answer was �no,� versus someone verbally informing the Board. Commissioner Bermudez said this provided transparency and allowed the Board to make intelligent decisions for Miami-Dade County residents if documentation existed. He reiterated his earlier comment that a cost-benefit analysis should have been provided.

Commissioner Higgins stated that although Ms. Uppal indicated that staff contacted all the possible vendors who could do the work and the vendors expressed no interest given the economic conditions, this information was not included in the Mayor�s memorandum. She noted the administration was not waiving competitive bidding as Ms. Uppal did something different, and requested that in the future, clarification be provided in the memorandums.

There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution as presented.

Mayor Levine Cava thanked the Board members for their suggestions. She stated that during her tenure as a commissioner, she attempted to move procurement more expeditiously, and as the Mayor, she discovered the County had no shared database for procurement. Mayor Levine Cava noted implementation of Monday dot com would make tracking and reporting of procurement much easier. She mentioned that all procurement was publicly posted on the County�s website.

  REPORT: Commissioner Gonzalez requested a timeline for the re-advertisement of a competitive solicitation for development, management, and operation of Miami-Dade West Kendall District Park.

Ms. Christina Salinas-Cotter, Assistant Director, Parks Recreation and Open Spaces Department, explained that following rejection of the proposal, staff would establish coordinating community meetings and holding industry days to ensure valuable feedback from the community to incorporate into the next version of the solicitation. She stated staff also needed to conduct market research to ensure sufficient competition in the next round of the solicitation. Ms. Salinas-Cotter noted staff would be working simultaneously with Ms. Namita Uppal, Director of the Strategic Procurement Department, and the central Procurement Department on incorporating the feedback and estimated approximately six months to issue the next solicitation.

Commissioner Gonzalez stated six months was a long time and requested to meet with Ms. Salinas-Cotter.

Ms. Salinas-Cotter stated staff would try to expedite the time.

There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution as presented.

  REPORT: Commissioner Bermudez inquired about the potential fiscal and workforce impact of the foregoing proposed resolution.

Mr. David Clodfelter, Director, Office of Management and Budget, said he could not provide the fiscal impact for the foregoing resolution at this time. He noted staff was currently developing the proposed budget and at high level, would have to acquire additional revenue or make adjustments in expenditures.

Commissioner Regalado commented that police officers could retire for six months and return to the County; however, this was not the case for fire rescue. She noted the County had a workforce issue and if the Board supported allowing people to retire earlier, it should be easier for them to come back.

Mr. Clodfelter said his understanding, based on the proposed House Bill, was that it was high risk which included both.

There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution as presented.

Resolution R-328-23

Vote: 13 - 0
  REPORT: Commissioner Higgins said she appreciated Commissioner Cabrera�s efforts regarding bail reform and she was aware that Chief Judge Nushin G. Sayfie, Eleventh Judicial Circuit; the Miami-Dade State Attorney�s Office; and the Miami-Dade Public Defender�s Office were working on a local proposal regarding pretrial release. She opined the local proposal was too far and felt a satisfactory medium could be achieved on this issue. Commissioner Higgins stated she would vote against the foregoing resolution; however, it was not an indication that she opposed Chief Judge Sayfie�s efforts. She commented on her work on the Driver�s License Task Force investigation regarding 600,000 residents with suspended licenses. Commissioner Higgins said over 90 percent of them were for not paying fines and fees but they were not criminals.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins expressed concern that the Board did not have a report or a proposed bill to vote on. She noted Chief Judge Sayfie sent an email to commissioners yesterday (4/3) stating this had been a coordinated effort for the last ten years and there had been a lot of misrepresentation and inaccurate information. Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated she disliked the idea of releasing individuals without seeing a judge in advance; however, she did not have anything tangible to make a determination. She noted it seemed slightly premature as Judge Sayfie indicated that she was delaying the proposal pending the outcome of legislation in Tallahassee. Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated she was inclined to support the foregoing resolution but may change her position once the chief judge made a decision.

Commissioner Cabrera stated he originally submitted this item for the February 7, 2023 Board meeting when he learned of this issue through the Miami Herald, which he found to be very troubling. He noted the cities of Miami Beach, Doral, South Miami and Hialeah had adopted resolutions against a revised pre-trial program. Commissioner Cabrera stated in reviewing public records that were published, it appeared that the State Attorney had concerns regarding the proposal, such as non-domestic assault and battery offenders would be released without posting bond. He asked the Board to support the foregoing resolution, noting public safety of Miami-Dade County residents must be prioritized.

Chairman Gilbert explained this item was now before the Board as it did not get through the agenda process in time, and this was not Commissioner Cabrera�s fault. He noted he believed originally it might have been an urging or would have been considered in Tallahassee.

Commissioner Regalado stated it was her understanding from the Miami Herald�s coverage that the Mayor�s office was involved with State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle�s office and Chief Judge Sayfie. She inquired whether the administration had additional information on this issue.

Mayor Levine Cava said there was an effort by the Chief Judge and many people were involved in meeting and discussing it predating her serving as Mayor. She noted the point at which there was disagreement, it did not move forward, and the subsequent efforts at the State.

Commissioner Higgins stated she could support the foregoing resolution if Commissioner Cabrera would be willing to include provisions for people who were driving with a suspended license who had no criminal record but were unable to pay fines and fees.

There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution as amended.

NOTE: The Clerk of the Board received the final amended version of the foregoing resolution on May 15, 2026, after the minutes were approved.

  REPORT: Clerk of the Board Director Basia Pruna, Miami-Dade County Clerk of the Courts, announced that in reference to Agenda Item 11A17 Supplement on today�s (4/4) agenda related to the 2023 Federal Legislative Package Critical Priorities, a ballot of 112 critical priorities was distributed to each commissioner and the responses were as follows:

1. Resolution 1118-22 received 13 votes
2. Septic to Sewer Conversion received nine votes
3. SMART plan funding received eight votes
4. Infrastructure Finance and Programs received 7 votes
5. Biscayne Bay Restoration received six votes
6. Senior Housing Assistance Program received six votes
7. Implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act received five votes
8. Everglades Restoration in Miami-Dade
9. Strengthen Federal Passenger and Cargo Screening Staffing received three votes
10. Transit Build Back Better Framework received three votes
11. Biscayne Everglades Greenway received three votes
12. Agricultural Relief received three votes
13. Environmentally Endangered Lands Program received three votes
14. Older Americans Act received three votes
15. Funding for the Homeless Programs received three votes
16. Public Housing and Section 8 Housing received three votes
17. HUD Assistance Housing for Specific Disabilities and Elderly received three votes

Chairman Gilbert, III requested to add all the items.

Assistant County Attorney Michael J. Mastrucci clarified the motion would be to adopt 11A17 as amended to reflect all the priorities read into the record by Clerk of the Board Director Pruna; and the item Chairman Gilbert previously added related to the backlog of immigrant visa applications and visa renewal requests received from citizens of Argentina.

Assistant County Attorney Mastrucci advised the Board would be waiving the provisions of Resolution Number R-764-13 which limited the number of priorities to ten.

Commissioner Higgins stated she was happy to see that Chairman Gilbert, III was going to start a process to review federal lobbyists and lobbying as the current process of limiting the number of priorities to ten was not prudent. She stated she supported having a team in Washington that could accomplish more than ten priorities for Miami-Dade County.

Chairman Gilbert, III acknowledged that he was working on a process for the federal lobbying team, but his goal was not to remove anyone.

Commissioner Steinberg moved to include beach erosion in the 2023 Federal Legislative priorities. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Regalado and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 13-0.

Commissioner Regalado said she was not in favor of the federal and State legislative processes and was glad Commissioner Steinberg brought up beach erosion. She suggested dividing the commissioners into groups according to their lobbying issues so they could be impactful.

Commissioner Bastien moved to add the issue of refugees and immigrants to the 2023 Federal Legislative priorities. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Regalado and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 13-0.

Commissioner Bermudez requested agricultural relief be added to Commissioner Bastien�s motion.

Commissioner Bastien moved to add the issue of immigrant services and agricultural relief to the 2023 Federal Legislative priorities. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Regalado and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 13-0.
