1G REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE HEARD AS PROVIDED IN RULE 6.06  
  REPORT: Vice Chairman Rodriguez opened the reasonable opportunity for the public to speak.

The following persons appeared before the Board:

Mr. Johnny Barber, 3985 NW 165 Street, Miami, Florida, spoke in connection to Agenda Item 4A in regards to Covanta Energy who operated the Miami-Dade County Resource Recovery Facility in Doral, Florida for decades and used municipal solid waste to generate green energy while keeping solid waste out of landfills. He stated Covanta had been a good neighbor to Doral and Miami-Dade County residents for over 40 years, and their zero waste to landfill approach benefitted the environment and kept trash out of the landfills, which produced climate-damaging methane and reduced resource consumption. Mr. Barber stated reusing and repurposing waste to generate green energy benefitted the community and was a smart business practice for Miami-Dade County. He commented reducing the County�s carbon footprint led to short and long-term sustainability goals for all of Miami-Dade County and its residents, and the natural environment. He stated Covanta used modern technology for the responsible disposal of community waste, and the community was looking forward to Miami-Dade County leaders for a path forward to upgrade the current plant as well as utilizing the existing location.

Ms. Monica Vigues Pitan, Legal Services of Greater Miami (Legal Services), 4343 West Flagler Street, Miami, Florida, spoke in connection to Agenda Item 2B13, thanked the Board members for their support of the Miami-Dade Eviction Diversion Pilot Program/Project and noted that the project has launched. She provided the Board members with a short recap of the partners� responsibilities and noted the six partners and each of their role. Ms. Pitan provided an overview of the program, stated she would reach out to the Board members� staff who handles constituent services to make sure that staff was aware of the project, and provide feedback on the pilot project.

Ms. Alana Greer, Community Justice Project, 3000 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, Florida, spoke in connection to Agenda Item 2B13, and thanked the Board for its investment in the Miami-Dade Eviction Diversion Pilot Program. She proceeded to provide an overview of the number of cases who had participated in this pilot program. Ms. Greer concluded her comments by stating that this program could be a model across the State of Florida and that other cities, counties, and states had expressed an interest to implement a similar program in their area.

Ms. Amber Ketterer, on behalf of the City of Miami (City), 444 SW 2 Avenue, Miami, Florida, spoke in connection to Agenda Item 4C, and respectfully requested a continuance or denial of Agenda Item 4C in order for the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County to fully resolve a conflict regarding the rapid transit zone (RTZ) and its amendments and expansions. She stated Agenda Item 4C expands the RTZ within the City of Miami municipal boundaries specifically an expansion of the Metromover Subzone to encompass nine new private properties and a County-owned property. Ms. Ketterer noted the addresses outlined in the item for the record and said the RTZ and these properties removed the City jurisdiction authority over all regulatory decisions including but not limited to the comprehensive planning, district boundary changes, special exceptions, variances, site plans, issuance of building permits, building inspections, fire permit inspections, compliance with the South Florida Building Code, fire prevention code, and issuance of certificates of occupancy. In addition, this was notwithstanding section 6.02 of the County�s Home Rule Charter that provides that each municipality provide for higher standards of zoning, services, regulation than those provided by the Board of County Commissioners in order that its individual character and standards may be preserved for its citizens. Ms. Ketterer reminded the Board that the City and the County were engaged in a conflict resolution process to resolve our conflict under the Florida Governmental Conflict Resolution Act in accordance with Chapter 164 of the Florida Statutes, and as such, the City requested Agenda Item 4C be continued or denied by this Board.

Ms. Sandra Denis, Executive Director, Miami Workers Center (Center), 745 NW 54 Street, Miami, Florida, spoke in connection to Agenda Item 2B13 and thanked the County Mayor and the Board members for their support of the Eviction Diversion Pilot Program. She informed the Board members of the Miami Workers Center efforts in assisting in the community outreach for this pilot program. Ms. Denis stated the Center looked forward to collaborating with Board members to bring legal assistance to tenants in their commission district.

Ms. Kamirah Louissaint, 435 NW 109 Street, Miami, Florida, spoke in favor of Agenda Item 3B1, noted she was speaking on behalf of Students Working Against Tobacco (SWAT), which was a statewide organization and the mission was to bring communities together to educate them on the horrifying facts of tobacco.

There being no other persons appearing to speak, Vice Chairman Rodriguez closed the reasonable opportunity to be heard.

  FINAL REPORT ON ILLEGAL DUMPING PILOT PROGRAM WITH THE CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS AND THE CITY OF OPA-LOCKA � DIRECTIVE NO. 210944(Mayor) Accepted
Report

Vote: 9 - 0

Excused: Gilbert, III , Hardemon
  REPORT: Commissioner Regalado asked the Administration to include the fiscal impact of the program in the foregoing final report; and to update the previous master plan report provided under the former Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez regarding the Illegal Dumping Pilot Program and to prepare and provide the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) a comprehensive plan on waste management including services provided by the County to municipalities and the financial feasibility of continuing these services.

In response to Commissioner Bermudez� comments regarding the City of Opa-locka and an oversight board, Assistant County Attorney David Hope responded he did not know the specifics on whether Opa-locka was still under financial oversight. Assistant County Attorney Hope stated it would be a question in terms of the service pickups, and a question to the Administration as to why or why not the City of Opa-locka chose not to participate in the pilot program.

Commissioner Garcia stressed the need to be consistent across the board. He asked the County Mayor what was being done in the County currently to ensure that our drainage were clean and clear.

In response to Commissioner Garcia�s inquiry, Miami-Dade County Mayor Danielle Levine Cava stated the Administration was working with all municipalities on storm water issues and a workshop was scheduled this week with municipalities. She noted a multidepartment function in addition to cities who had their responsibilities. Mayor Levine Cava stated the Administration had urged the City of Miami to move quickly on their infrastructure improvements, an update would be provided to this Board, and several reports would be coming forth from the Administration regarding solid waste, storm water and flooding.

A Department of Transportation and Public Works representative informed the Board there was a five-year plan for purposes of cleaning drains, which consisted of the 51,000 drains which would be cleaned on a five-year basis. He noted more attention was paid to the low-lying areas, flood prone areas and the area around pump stations, which were cleaned on a yearly basis along with the canals.

Mr. David Clodfelter, Director, Office of Management and Budget, informed the Board of an allocation in the Rescue Plan for the Department of Solid Waste for the pilot program for the City of Miami Gardens. After the funding ceased, Mr. Clodfelter stated a decision would need to be made on what level the program would continue. The funding would originate from the collected fees for the service area.

Commissioner Regalado stated a workshop to discuss solid waste was needed prior to the budget hearing meetings.

Commissioner Gonzalez noted the issue of illegal dumping in his commission district 11. He stated there were only four teams that serviced the entire County. Commissioner Gonzalez stated that was insufficient and the County should not continue to operate with only four teams.

Mr. Mike Fernandez, Director, Department of Solid Waste Management, stated this proposed program would enhance the services countywide for waste collection services.

A brief discussion ensued between Commissioner Gonzalez and Mr. Fernandez regarding the potential increase in teams to increase the pickup of illegal dumping debris.

The Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed report, as presented.

Later in the meeting, Mr. Jimmy Morales, Office of the Mayor, Chief Operations Officer, clarified that the City of Miami Gardens does have a contract with the County�s Department of Solid Waste Management, as part of the Illegal Dumping Pilot Program, to provide residential services for collections and transporting of illegal dumped debris.

  REPORT: Commissioner Bermudez requested the Administration and Mr. Eulois Cleckley, Director, Department of Transportation and Public Works, to provide a status report on the full implementation of the Advanced Transportation Management Systems (ATMS) Project, detailing the number of completed intersections, the number of intersections still pending completion, the effectiveness of the program and improvement recommendations.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava stated the Administration would comply with Commissioner Bermudez� request to provide regular updates on progress.

Commissioner Regalado asked the Administration and Mr. Cleckley to categorize the status report requested by Commissioner Bermudez by commission district; and to include additional information as to the impact of vehicular weight on traffic loop infrastructure especially those located in industrial areas.

In addition, Commissioner Steinberg asked to cosponsor the secondary report requested by Commissioner Bermudez; and she asked what was being done to reduce the problem instead of maintaining it; and would like this to be addressed in the future as well.

Commissioner Garcia agreed with Commissioner Bermudez regarding the traffic issue in this community. He asked what the Mayor�s proposal was as it related in addressing this issue specifically for commission districts 1, 2, 12 and 13.

In response to Commissioner Garcia�s inquiry, Mr. Cleckley responded there might be various factors that contributed to the damage of traffic loops and noted the Department�s efforts to track those damages and fix them as expeditiously as possible. He stated the Department could do an evaluation of the factors why the discrepancy in the numbers for the Northwest Dade area. Mr. Cleckley further stated there was a budget request for fiscal year 2024 to address the backlog of the faculty loops to fix them as quickly as possible. He noted ultimately the ATMS project would rectify this issue long-term and the report coming forth would outline the schedule for completion.

Commissioner Garcia stated he hoped to see in the budget the allocation of funds to ensure that the Administration addressed the aforementioned issues.

Commissioner Steinberg asked the Administration and Mr. Cleckley to follow-up with the appropriate private and public service entities to determine the length of time traffic loops have been broken, the cause of the broken traffic loops and to remind these partner entities about their responsibility to repair broken loops if it is determined they should repair the damage.

Commissioner Bermudez spoke in support of Commissioner Garcia�s comments regarding the discrepancy in the Northwest Dade area numbers outlined in the report.

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

6A CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS  
6B POLICY MATTERS FOR DISCUSSION BY THE BOARD  
6B1  
  231217 Discussion Item     Oliver G. Gilbert, III        
  ANNUAL JOINT MEETING OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH TRUST AND BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Presented
  REPORT: Mr. Carlos Migoya, Chief Executive Officer, Jackson Health System (JHS) noted Public Health Trust (PHT) Board of Trustees� Chairman Walter T. Richardson would provide comments before the presentation of the annual report.

Mr. Richardson noted the presence of his colleagues who attended today (6/21) to present the annual report on the progress at Jackson Health System, in addition to facing the challenges ahead. He stated that although he has served on the PHT Board of Trustees, this was his first year presiding over the joint meeting. Mr. Richardson concluded the introduction and asked Mr. Migoya to proceed with the presentation of the report.

Mr. Migoya presented a video that illustrated where JHS has been and where it was going.

Following the video presentation, Mr. Migoya noted the signature of tentative agreements with the largest labor unions the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), which would come to the Board for ratification next month. He stated JHS/PHT was proud of the continued collaboration with their union partners and shared a commitment to ensure every JHS patient received the best care.

In addition, Mr. Migoya thanked the JHS General Obligation Bond (GOB) Citizens� Advisory Committee (Committee) members and noted the Committee members who were present at today�s (6/21) meeting. He commented the $800 million bond was exhausted this year and today (6/21) the Board would be asked to sunset this committee. Mr. Migoya thanked the Board for its support.

Commissioner McGhee thanked the PHT Chairman and its members and noted JHS was a model. He recognized Mr. Migoya�s tenacious approach and offered his support regarding the JHS agenda.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins echoed the sentiments of Commissioner McGhee. She congratulated Mr. Migoya, the PHT Board members who were present and the JHS GOB Citizens� Advisory Committee. She thanked Mr. Migoya for his efforts in the negotiations with the unions.

Commissioner Bastien echoed the comments by Commissioners McGhee and Cohen Higgins. She congratulated Mr. Migoya and PHT Chairman Richardson on their leadership at JHS. Commissioner Bastien noted her recent visit at Jackson Hospital (Jackson) and encouraged her fellow Board members to visit Jackson. She noted her work experience as a Medical Social Worker at Jackson.

Commissioner Bermudez concurred with all of his colleagues� comments made thus far. He thanked and commended Mr. Migoya and his team and noted the newest JHS facility in his commission district 12. Commissioner Bermudez thanked Mr. Richardson and the PHT members for their efforts.

Commissioner Regalado commended Mr. Migoya on the negotiations with the unions for the PHT. She stated she was happy to see the Coral Gables JHS facility in the video presentation specifically the emphasis on behavioral therapy. Commissioner Regalado noted this facility would meet the necessary demand in this community. She concluded by thanking Mr. Migoya for his leadership.

Commissioner Garcia made comments on the work done by the JHS for heart and lung transplant and asked Mr. Migoya about future transplants at Jackson.

In response to Commissioner Garcia�s comments and inquiry regarding transplants, Mr. Migoya noted Jackson has been committed to transplants at the very early age of transplantation, and he commented on his personal experience with a family member. He stated transplants were a new opportunity for life for individuals and most people who chose to have a transplant experienced a good outcome. Mr. Migoya informed the Board that JHS started a search approximately three years and 15 months ago, and brought in a lung transplantation surgeon who completely changed JHS� strategy for lung transplantation. He stated approximately 100 lung transplantations were occurring per year compared to ten per year with a great success rate. Mr. Migoya noted JHS has been working with heart transplantation at the same rate as the lung transplantation. In addition, he noted zero deficiency and the PHT�s commitment to transplants.

In response to Commissioner Garcia�s inquiry regarding the census on pay rates and the diversity, Mr. Migoya noted the practice over the last 12 years JHS has been able to reduce the number of self-pay, in other words, people of no pay. He commented in many cases poor people who came to Jackson did not know that they qualified for Medicaid. Therefore, he stated through Jackson�s financial assessment and at the same time they were conducting their clinical assessment they assisted many of those people to obtain their Medicaid card. Mr. Migoya noted the reduction in Medicaid patients and the attraction of paying patients. He stated Jackson was a hospital for all people, not just poor people, and that was Jackson�s mission.

Commissioner Garcia stated Jackson was premier institution and thanked Mr. Migoya and PHT Chairman Richardson on their leadership to provide care to all people in this community. He commented he looked forward to working together with Jackson to develop a transportation program and forge relationships with other hospitals in this community.

Commissioner Gonzalez commented Jackson was a gem in Miami-Dade County, and noted his own personal experience with a family member. He commended this Board and Mr. Migoya for their role in Jackson�s success.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava acknowledged the extraordinary work at Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation Department jails who relied upon Jackson for the care of jail inmates both physically and mentally.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez echoed all the sentiments by his colleagues and the Mayor. He noted the phenomenal team at JHS.

Mr. Migoya noted the need for an appointment by the Miami-Dade Legislative Delegation due to recent changes regarding the appointment of Juan Fernandez-Barquin, as Clerk of the Court and Comptroller for Miami-Dade County.

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

County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan read all of the ordinances set for second reading items into the record.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava noted this agenda item was a key priority to the County Administration to expand the supply of workforce and affordable housing. She commented the Administration was unaware of the potential fiscal impact of this item. Mayor Levine Cava noted the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (State) was in the process of creating rules for implementation of the program outlined in this proposed ordinance. She asked that the Administration work with the Property Appraiser and if the proposed ordinance was adopted by this Board to delay implementation to obtain further guidance from the State on how to implement the program.

Following the comments by Mayor Levine Cava, Commissioner McGhee, sponsor of the item, asked for deferral of the foregoing item to the September 6, 2023, Board meeting as suggested by Commissioner Bastien.

Commissioner McGhee made a motion for deferral of item to the September 6, 2023, Board of County Commissioners (BCC) meeting as suggested by Commissioner Bastien instead of the July 18, 2023, BCC meeting to allow sufficient time for the Administration to provide the fiscal impact of this proposed ordinance to this Board.

SPECIAL NOTE: See Agenda Item 15F3 regarding the change to the previously scheduled September 5, 2023, Board Regular meeting to September 6.

Commissioner Regalado thanked Commissioner McGhee for the deferral of this item. She stressed the need to know the process by the State of Florida on this matter.

There being no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote for the deferral of the foregoing proposed ordinance to the September 6, 2023, Board meeting.

  REPORT: Commissioner Garcia noted he pulled the foregoing proposed resolution and Agenda Item 8F3 for discussion.

Commissioner Garcia asked the Administration of their rationale for the Board to make a decision to expedite this two-year Request for Proposal (RFP) process. He noted that for many other entities this would be unacceptable for a two-year period in order for an RFP to be issued and he felt it was excessively long. Commissioner Garcia asked how the Administration would continue to attract individuals or companies to do business with the County when there was a two-year period in which to get it done. He further asked what were the issues and how would they be addressed moving forward.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava responded a number of changes were made in the procurement process in responses to ideas from Board members and a report prepared by Ms. Namita Uppal, Chief Procurement Officer, Strategic Procurement Department with suggestions that the Board adopted.

Mr. Alex Munoz, Director, Internal Services Department (ISD), responded to Commissioner Garcia that it did definitely take long. He noted the same employee had 14 contracts to process and there was a series of professional services agreements for different types of services. In addition, the employee was working on other assignments. Mr. Munoz concluded by stating it could have been managed better, and it was not a procurement issue.

A brief discussion ensued between Commissioner Garcia and Mr. Munoz regarding the staff person working on this contract.

Commissioner Garcia stated collectively there was a need to do a better job to resolve this issue of timely issuance of RFPs.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins noted her and Commissioner Cabrera worked on an item coming forth that would address the issue raised by Commissioner Garcia. She asked why particular procurements took a long time and suggested that the timeline should be included in the agenda item. Commissioner Cohen Higgins commented having the timeline would better assist the Board in order to address issues.

Mayor Levine Cava pointed out as of this budget year the Administration has separated procurement from ISD to create a separate department with the Chief Procurement Officer.

In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� comments, Ms. Uppal responded the Department was in the process of developing standardized document templates for implementation in certain areas and that staff would be willing to share those delays in the memorandum accompanying the agenda items moving forward. She believed these efforts would help in showing improvements within a year for procurement.

Commissioner Bermudez applauded Commissioners Cohen Higgins and Cabrera and asked that the item coming forth include the specifics referenced by her and Ms. Uppal.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated she would include the timeline in the item coming forth.

A brief discussion ensued among Commissioner Regalado and Assistant County Attorney Monica Rizo regarding the Board�s meeting date for consideration of the foregoing proposed resolution.

Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution and Agenda Item 8F3 as presented.

  REPORT: Commissioner Garcia asked Ms. Namita Uppal, Chief Procurement Officer, Strategic Procurement Department (SPD), to explain to the Board what precluded the Administration for looking across the State of Florida (State) first before the Administration offered/issued the Request for Proposal (RFP) for a vendor.

Ms. Uppal responded that in this case the Administration relied on the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) index to obtain a better deal on the fuel.

Commissioner Garcia stated was there a common, practice of this Administration to review existing County contracts, and across the State where maybe the County could piggyback on those contracts as opposed to issuing an RFP. He asked if there was a need for an ordinance or legislation to get that as a priority.

In response to Commissioner Garcia�s comments, Ms. Uppal stated the Administration reviewed contracts and obtain a better deal where we could, but when the County piggybacked on any State, county or cities� contract, they were not considering any small and local companies that could provide the required service. She stated an analysis could be done and SPD would work with Small Business Development Division to identify categories where it made sense and if there were a healthy participation of small and local companies, it would be better for SPD to do its own competition so that it could award contracts to small and local companies. Ms. Uppal stated there could be categories where SPD knew there was not enough small and local companies then it would be prudent to piggyback on contracts.

Ms. Uppal informed the Board of a number of national consortiums that came together to do joint procurement and often the County took its lead on that procurement to obtain the best value contract for the County and other municipalities.

Commissioner Regalado noted her experience at the School Board and the prioritization of the RFP criteria. She stated part of the problem was that the Board must decide on the priorities. Commissioner Regalado noted if we were going to choose a higher price point for items because the County had a local vendor, the County needed to be very clear on the subsidy and that it was choosing that subsidy. She stated the subsidy did not make sense if the procurement took two years. Commissioner Regalado concluded the pros and cons would have to weigh on this issue; and the County should get its house in order before dealing with the leadership in procurement. She stated the focus should be on fixing the procurement system problems.

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

  REPORT: Commissioner Garcia noted Item 8P6 initially was an item under the 14 section of today�s (6/21) Board agenda and the item was considered a late filed agenda item for placement on the Board agenda. He informed the Board now that the final agenda was published this agenda item was under section 8P meaning it was no longer a late filed item or a four-day rule item.

Commissioner Garcia presented a motion to eliminate the Surfside emergency powers effective July 1. Commissioner Regalado seconded this motion for discussion.

A discussion ensued among the Board members and the Administration regarding emergency powers in connection with the declaration of a local state of emergency for time sensitive matters without committee review.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava reminded the Board that the Administration did not set the Board�s meeting agendas.

Mr. David Clodfelter, Director, Office of Management and Budget, informed the Board that the project was still ongoing. He stated without the local emergency declaration the County would not be able to submit for reimbursement to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Mr. Clodfelter noted the County still had active projects and stated he could obtain an estimated date for completion. He reiterated if the County did not have the local state of emergency during this phase until the project was completed, the County would not be reimbursed for those expenditures.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez stated he viewed the issues raised as two separate issues; one was the Board�s Chairman emergency powers when there was a local state of emergency, and the use of the Board Chairperson�s power to place certain matters directly on a Board agenda without committee review.

Commissioner Garcia informed the Board and the Administration of an email regarding the question on FEMA reimbursement.

An extensive discussion was held among the Board members, Assistant County Attorneys Jess McCarty and Lauren Morse, and the Administration regarding the status of the Surfside local emergency declaration; and ordinance number 20-38.

Commissioner Regalado withdrew her second to Commissioner Garcia�s motion. She reminded the Board of a preliminary report coming forth regarding the status of the County�s local state of emergency for Surfside.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez asked the County Attorney to clarify the floor motion and would it affect the current item before the Board today (6/21), even though there was no longer a second on the motion.

In response to Vice Chairman Rodriguez� question regarding the floor motion made by Commissioner Garcia and the agenda item before the Board, Assistant County Attorney McCarty informed the Board there were two issues before the Board, one was agenda item 8P6 and Commissioner Garcia�s motion. He responded to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� question about states of emergency, and informed the Board that the County was still under a state of emergency for Hurricane Ian. Assistant County Attorney McCarty stated that the way the Board�s Rules of Procedure (Board�s Rules) read it was either a state or a local declaration of emergency. He stated Commissioner Garcia�s motion would not have a direct affect because of the state declaration of emergency because of the hurricane and would not affect the foregoing agenda item 8P6 in any event. Assistant County Attorney McCarty stated it would take a change to the Board�s Rules to narrow the state of emergency to the actual subject of the emergency.

Commissioner Garcia reiterated his concern with the placement of the foregoing proposed resolution in section 8P on today�s (6/21) that was initially reflected under section 14A on the Board�s preliminary meeting agenda. He stated the Board�s rules were how the Board governed itself. Commissioner Garcia concluded his comments by stating that his motion still stood and asked for a second to his motion.

Commissioner McGhee noted the frustration voiced by his colleagues and stated that the County Mayor did not set the Board�s meeting agenda. He commented it was the Chair�s prerogative as to how he/she interprets his/her super power. Commissioner McGhee stated when the Board members selected a Chair; they were essentially saying they trusted the Chair to carry out the functions, procedures and the positions of the Board according to the Board�s Rules. He stated the motion presented by Commissioner Garcia was not in the best interest of the Board and he further stated the entire Board members should be present to have a discussion on both the pros and the cons to arrive at a conclusion.

Commissioner McGhee stated that the issue was with the office of the Board Chair and the Chairman not being present. He offered the deferral of this discussion to a Board meeting in July.

Commissioner Steinberg stated she would be willing to cosponsor the legislation coming forth regarding the subject of Commissioner Garcia�s motion.

A further discussion ensued among the Board members and Assistant County Attorney McCarty regarding Commissioner Garcia�s floor motion and amending the existing Board�s Rules regarding ordinance number 20-38 pertaining to state or local declaration of an emergency and the Board Chairperson power under the ordinance.

Commissioner Garcia noted there was no second on his motion.

Commissioner Garcia presented a motion to suspend the Board�s Rules of Procedure to place Legislative File Number 230154 on the July 6, 2023, Board Regular meeting as an ordinance for first reading. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Gonzalez, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 9-0, (Commissioners Cabrera, Hardemon, Higgins and Chairman Gilbert III were absent).

SPECIAL NOTE: See Non-Agenda Item 15F1, Legislative File Number 230154.

County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan clarified for the Board that Legislative File Number 230154 was the legislation proposed by Commissioner Garcia to amend the Board�s Rules; and placed as an ordinance for first reading item on the next Board meeting.

Hearing no further comments or objections, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, Agenda Item 8P6, as presented.

  REPORT: Commissioner Regalado explained the intent of the foregoing proposed resolution.

An extension discussion ensued between Commissioner McGhee and Ms. Lourdes Gomez, Director, Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) regarding the feasible distance to connect to a sanitary sewer system and to a public water main for two miles or more, the $5,000 to $15,000 estimated range of cost for connection to water and sewer system for homeowners, the undue cost burden to homeowners, the non-ability of the homeowner to pay or afford the estimated cost for connection, to analyze the two-mile radius potential impact and the incentives.

Commissioner McGhee asked the County Attorney to prepare an amendment to this item that places the cost burden for newer connection on the developer and not the homeowner. He reiterated his concern with the fiscal impact to homeowners in certain areas.

In response to Commissioner McGhee�s comments, Commissioner Regalado further explained the rationale and intent of the foregoing proposed resolution relating to the extension of the feasible distance requirement and an authorization for development bonuses as outlined in the item. She concluded her comments by calling the question.

Commissioner McGhee suggested withdrawal or deferral of the foregoing proposed resolution to review this issue.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez stated the sponsoring commissioner, Commissioner Regalado, had rejected the amendment and had called the question.

A brief discussion ensued among the Board members, Assistant County Attorneys Kerbel, and McCarty regarding the amendment offered by Commissioner McGhee who requested a vote on the amendment and the question being called by Commissioner Regalado.

Assistant County Attorney Kerbel advised the content of the amendment as stated by Commissioner McGhee raised legal issues that may make it legally insufficient.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez called the question on the item without the amendment.

Following the comments by Assistant County Attorneys Kerbel and McCarty, Commissioner McGhee amended his friendly amendment to have it read, �The cost of connectivity should be placed with the developer on the new two to three mile sewer lines that are going within these communities.�

Assistant County Attorney Kerbel advised the amendment offered by Commissioner McGhee would essentially ask to withdraw this item. He stated the purpose of this item was for the developer to bear the cost of extending the public side infrastructure and then the purpose of the application to the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) was to authorize development bonuses to the developer who was already bearing the cost of extending the sewer line. Therefore, he understood the requested amendment would undo this request in the proposed item.

Commissioner Bermudez referenced in May 2022, the creation of a Septic to Sewer assistance program (Grant program) and questioned whether the program was created. He noted this Grant program would apply to some of the situations referenced by Commissioner McGhee, if there was an economic need.

In response to Commissioner Bermudez�s comments, Mr. Roy Coley, Director, Department of Water and Sewer, stated there was a directive from this Board to create a trust fund, and monies has been set-aside for the trust fund. He noted the Board has not adopted the drafted rules of the trust fund because some Board members have submitted proposals on how to expand the program. Mr. Coley stated that the program was still in development and underway. He informed the Board members that other resources have been identified to add to this program. Mr. Coley further noted the County Mayor has directed the Administration to identify all the different sources of the monies to pay the program to make sure it compliments each other and not compete. In closing, Mr. Coley stated the trust fund was established and the rules on how homeowners access the funds have not been established.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez announced the motion made on the item and the motion dies due to the lack of a second. He noted there was an unfriendly amendment and a motion made and there was not a second on that motion either.

Commissioner Regalado urged her colleagues to consider if the Board wanted feasible distance to be challenged individually and stated she was willing to work with staff to find a solution as it related to septic to sewer.

Commissioner Bastien said she supported the item as presented; however, she asked if Commissioner Regalado would be willing to defer the foregoing proposed resolution until such time to work with Administration to implement the trust fund. She concluded the issues raised by Commissioner McGhee were valid.

Commissioner Steinberg requested the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER), Environmental Resources Management (DERM) to include in the analysis coming back to the Board regarding the two-mile radius� potential impact and the incentives.

Commissioner Regalado clarified that Commissioner Steinberg�s amendment was an analysis of feasible distance and mentioned that RER, DERM, and the Water and Sewer Department would conduct the analysis.

A discussion ensued among the Board members, Assistant County Attorneys McCarty and Kerbel and Ms. Gomez regarding proceeding according to the Board�s Rules of Procedure; and the extension process to allow time for connection to the water and sewer line by a homeowner because there were no punitive fines for not connecting to the water and sewer lines.

The Board adopted the foregoing proposed resolution as amended to request the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER), Environmental Resources Management (DERM) to include in the analysis coming back to the Board regarding the two-mile radius� potential impact and the incentives.

  REPORT: Commissioner Cohen Higgins indicated this foregoing proposed resolution was inconsistent with the practices of the Board, in that, recently all of CSX railroad items brought forth were deferred. She stated the Board made a decision as a body that it would defer all railroads and CSX items. Commissioner Cohen Higgins noted specifically the Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) Chairman sent a letter indicating to please defer these items because the TPO was dealing with these items. She commented this issue was discussed at the last TPO meeting as well and it was on the upcoming Thursday, TPO meeting agenda. Commissioner Cohen Higgins moved to defer the foregoing proposed resolution. Commissioner Bastien seconded this motion.

Commissioner Regalado explained the intent of the foregoing proposed resolution.

A brief discussion ensued between Commissioners Cohen Higgins and Regalado regarding railroad items and the motion to defer this proposed item.

Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board deferred the foregoing proposed resolution to no date certain.
