  REPORT: Commissioner Cohen Higgins voiced her concerns with the report because it did not reflect any changes based on the Board�s concerns with Resolution No. R-378-23 regarding the fair market value (FMV) of properties to be conveyed. She pointed out there was an offer of $4.5 million for the properties, which was significantly below the FMV of $31,000,000, and she pondered why the offer was being considered.

In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� question if there were any parameters set for what would be below FMV, Assistant County Attorney Debra Herman informed her that it was the Board�s prerogative to set parameters below FMV. She added that the Board could adopt legislation to set such parameters.

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

  REPORT: Chairman Gilbert III opened the public hearing; the following persons appeared before the Board:

Reverend Laurence Brown, 830 NE 172 Terrace, Miami, Florida, was unsupportive of the agenda item because the proposed increased tax rates would not fund additional security in his area. He mentioned that the only security provided for his area was by one roving car, which was not adequate; and

Ms. Herlet (phonetic) Brown, 830 NE 172 Terrace, Miami, Florida, was unsupportive of the agenda item, for the same reason as noted by Reverend Brown.

Chairman Gilbert III closed the public hearing after no one else came forward to speak. He noted that Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava would have the director of the Miami-Dade Police Department consult with the speakers about providing adequate security for their area.

In response to Commissioner Steinberg�s inquiry as to why there was an increase in the tax rate, Ms. Liset Romero, Chief, Special Assessment District Division of the Miami-Dade Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department, answered that the increase was due to a living wage rate increase by the County for service contracts.

Ms. Romero noted that the speakers were offered an alternative by her division of obtaining a petition to abolish the roving security service for their district. She indicated this petition would be provided to the speakers. Ms. Romero confirmed with Commissioner Steinberg this was a method for abolishing the service.

Ms. Romero provided details to Commissioner Steinberg about issues between a resident of the Coventry Lighting District neighborhood and the neighborhood�s homeowners association (HOA). She told Commissioner Steinberg the increased tax rate for Coventry was also due to the increased living wage rate.

Ms. Romero detailed the division�s outreach efforts in the area, which included attendance of HOA meetings, notifications to residents about rate changes, and town hall meetings.

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

6A CHAIRPERSON OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS  
6A1  
  231382 Discussion Item     Oliver G. Gilbert, III        
  CONSIDERATION OF DEDUCTION AND COLLECTION OF UNION DUES PURSUANT TO RESOLUTION NOS. R-469-23 THROUGH AND INCLUDING R-475-23 Presented
  REPORT: County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read a motion by Chairman Gilbert III, as follows:

�Chairman Gilbert III moved to amend Resolution No. R-469-23 through and including R-475-23 to delete Section 3 of the resolution and instead authorize the Mayor to implement and administer the agreements including the provisions regarding deduction and collection of union dues and uniform assessments from the salaries of employees in the bargaining unit. The Chairman further moves to authorize the Mayor to work with the County Attorney�s Office for the purpose of initiating any litigation related to Senate Bill 256 (SB 256) in the event that such litigation is requested by the Mayor. The Mayor shall report to the Board of County Commissioners as soon as practicable regarding any litigation that may be commenced.�

Chairman Gilbert III commented that due to the constantly changing status of the issue regarding union fees being deducted from County employees� paychecks, the County Mayor needed the delegated authority to administer union contracts in the County and report back to the Board.

There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote to approve the motion, as presented during the setting of the agenda.

Later in the meeting, Chairman Gilbert III opined that SB 256 was passed to diminish unions. He expressed his support for the County�s service unions, while stressing that the Board would obey the law, and he advised the best way to protect the County�s employees was for the employees to organize themselves.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez, and Commissioners Higgins and Bastien expressed their support for the motion and the unions and County employees. Vice Chairman Rodriguez noted that when he served on the State Legislature he voted against SB 256. He also expressed his confidence that the County Mayor would follow the law and opined that County officials could not interpret the law.

After Commissioner Bastien asked the County Attorney�s Office (CAO) for details about SB 256, Chairman Gilbert III advised her that the CAO could not legally answer her question during today�s (7/6) meeting.

After Commissioner Gonzalez attempted to clarify points about the contracts, bargaining units and SB 256, Chairman Gilbert III noted for the record that discussion with the CAO about SB 256 in today�s meeting could not be held.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava expressed gratitude to the Board for being given the delegated authority to administer the contracts. She clarified there were several unions that were granted exemptions based on her direction, and she would explore all actions to support County employees.

(See Agenda Item 15F1, Legislative File No. 231431)
 
6A2  
  231383 Discussion Item     Oliver G. Gilbert, III        
  CONSIDERATION OF HB 1305 Presented
  REPORT: Chairman Gilbert III spoke about House Bill 1305 (HB 1305) from the State of Florida to abolish the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX) and replace it with the Greater Miami Expressway Agency (GMX). He stated that the Board would not discuss the legislation extensively because it was under litigation.

Commissioner McGhee stated he would make a motion to speak about the legal aspect of the Agenda Item and to enable the County to be part of litigation at an appropriate moment during the discussion.

Mr. Gene Stearns, an attorney representing MDX, opined that the HB 1305 issue was critical to transportation in the County and its local government and residents. He continued that the legislation challenged the County�s Home Rule Charter because it would take away legislative authority from the County and transfer it to the State of Florida. He detailed the history of past litigation involving MDX and the state, and cautioned that the state would continue to erode Home Rule authority from the County. Mr. Stearns also pointed out that according to a 2022 referendum only County residents could vote to abolish the MDX. He urged that the County Attorney�s Office (CAO) be directed to join the litigation by MDX to protect Home Rule Charter in the County.

Mr. Stearns clarified to Chairman Gilbert III that the CAO should be directed by motion to coordinate with the MDX counsel to resist the attempt by the state to violate the County�s Home Rule Charter.

Commissioner McGhee expressed his support for the Home Rule Charter and opined that the state government was encroaching on the authority of local governments.

Assistant County Attorney Michael Valdes read a motion proposed by Commissioner McGhee, as follows:

�Commissioner McGhee moves to direct the County Attorney to evaluate the viability of legal claims on behalf of Miami-Dade County with respect to the reestablishment of GMX, pursuant to Florida House Bill 1305, and to provide briefings to any commissioners as to what available options, if any, Miami-Dade County may pursue.�

Commissioner Bastien seconded the motion.

Discussion ensued among the Board members regarding the motion.

Commissioner Higgins pointed out the motion differed from what Mr. Stearns suggested. She opined that the motion implied that a report had to be prepared and presented to the Board; she noted that the situation was a legal matter that should not be discussed in the public and such discussions should be held in an executive session.

Commissioner McGhee agreed that legal options for the County should not be discussed publicly. He explained his motion was for the County Commissioners to be provided with information about the litigation, permit the CAO to evaluate the viability of legal claims, and he stressed the motion did not prevent the CAO from joining the litigation.

Commissioner Gonzalez supported the motion because it enabled discussion about legal options regarding the litigation, although he did not support joining the litigation.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez noted that when he was in the State Legislature he did not support HB 1305.

After being asked by Vice Chairman Rodriguez if the motion provided the CAO with a directive, County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan opined that the motion was broader than what Mr. Stearns suggested. As an example, she noted that the motion asked to evaluate the viability of any claims, which could be separate from a joint effort with MDX. She stated the motion did not provide final direction, which required a new motion.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez voiced his concern that the motion was too broad and he was unsure if the CAO would be able to complete its evaluation in time for discussion in the next Board meeting.

Commissioner Bermudez sought confirmation that an attorney from Mr. Stearns� law firm spoke with County Commissioners. After Chairman Gilbert III and Commissioner Hardemon indicated they spoke to the attorney, Commissioner Bermudez recommended the Board hold joint meetings with MDX to avoid misconstrued agreements with the State. He also voiced his support for the motion.

Assistant County Attorney Valdes confirmed with Commissioner Bermudez that the County was a party to a case before the Third District Court of Appeal (DCA) that was still pending regarding MDX.

Assistant County Attorney Valdes informed Commissioner Bermudez that the CAO could discuss various cases with attorneys without being involved with the cases. Commissioner Bermudez questioned if this was the intent of the motion proposed by Commissioner McGhee.

County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan clarified that while the County was involved in the DCA case, Mr. Stearns asked that the County be involved in new litigation.

Mr. Stearns provided more details about the DCA case but Chairman Gilbert III advised him to follow Board procedures about discussion.

After Commissioner McGhee explained his proposed motion, Commissioner Bermudez opined that the County�s Home Rule Charter was at risk and it was the duty of the Board to protect the County�s residents. He noted he would support the motion but advised the Board members they had to decide soon over whether or not to be involved in the litigation.

Chairman Gilbert III indicated he was supportive of Mr. Stearns� request and unsupportive of HB 1305 because it removed local governing authority regarding the County�s roads. He advised the Administration be given direction on how to proceed with establishing parameters for appointments to the GMX.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins advised that a decision had to be made soon by the Board members because the issue affected the employment status of MDX employees. She opined the Board had to notify the state of its willingness to contest the state�s efforts against the County�s Home Rule Charter. Commissioner Cohen Higgins also opined that HB 1305 was created to circumvent a previous law that was struck down.

In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� query about who owned the MDX assets, Mr. Stearns responded that MDX owned its assets.

Commissioner Hardemon asked County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan to determine if the discussion about the MDX litigation should be held during an executive session, which he favored.

County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan indicated that executive sessions to discuss pending litigation were only possible under certain conditions, which included the subject matter of the meeting being confined to settlement negotiations or for strategy sessions related to litigation expenditures. She noted that since the CAO was involved in the DCA case it had the authority to continue litigation; she also explained why the CAO was involved in the DCA case, which was to defend an ordinance adopted by the Board regarding the MDX.

Commissioner Hardemon confirmed with County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan that Commissioner McGhee�s motion was unrelated to the DCA case and it was for the CAO and the Administration to determine if the County should join the MDX litigation.

City of Sweetwater Mayor and Chairman of MDX Jos� �Pepe� Diaz opined that the County�s Home Rule Charter must be protected and that the state was determined to take over local government entities. He cautioned that if the state succeeded in taking over the MDX, it would proceed to take over other County entities such as Miami International Airport and PortMiami. Mayor Diaz asked the Board for support with the MDX litigation.

Commissioner Cabrera noted that an ordinance had been adopted during the May 4, 2021 Board meeting which abolished the GMX (See Agenda Item 5A Substitute, Legislative File No. 211028 on the May 4, 2021 Board of County Commissioners Regular meeting), and questioned if additional legislation was needed.

In response to Commissioner Cabrera�s question if additional legislation was needed, County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan noted that such discussion needed to be held privately.

Commissioner Cabrera opined that since the ordinance was adopted in the previous Board meeting then no further action by the Board was required.

Commissioner McGhee withdrew his motion because of the urgency of the situation with the litigation and the views expressed during the discussion.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez opined that while compliance with the law was obligatory, the Home Rule Charter had to be protected.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez made a motion requesting the CAO to either collaborate with counsel for the MDX and if necessary, join the lawsuit MDX had against the State of Florida, pursuant to HB 1305, or file a separate lawsuit against the state after an evaluation indicated that the County�s and MDX�s interests did not align with one another.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez also requested that the CAO begin reviewing the parameters and initiate the process related to appointments for the GMX.

Chairman Gilbert III pointed out that the second request was for the Administration to implement. He also seconded the motion.

Commissioner Bermudez asked if the CAO would have enough time before the next Board meeting to consult with individual Board members on the best path to address the litigation.

County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan replied that the CAO would continue to apprise the Board of available options.

Commissioner Bermudez opined that the Board needed to vote to authorize the COA to join the litigation or start new litigation. He also pointed out that the legislation noted by Commissioner Cabrera referred to Chapter 2019-169 of the Laws of Florida and was not related to the MDX litigation. He also sought clarification of the motion by Vice Chairman Rodriguez.

Chairman Gilbert III explained the motion which directed the CAO to collaborate with the MDX counsel, and if necessary, join the lawsuit MDX had against the state, or file a separate lawsuit against the state. He continued that the motion also requested the Administration begin reviewing the parameters related to appointments to the GMX, in the event the Board was required to make them. He noted that this would be the delegation to commence litigation and it was not necessary for the CAO to report to the Board with their decision about the litigation.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez sought clarification on the meaning of an amicus.

County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan explained that the CAO would explore all viable options, which included an amicus.

Vice Chairman Rodriguez confirmed with County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan that the directive was for the CAO �to enter into a lawsuit�, whether by joining MDX or filing a separate lawsuit to defend the Home Rule Charter.

Commissioner Bermudez supported the motion and commented on the difference of an amicus brief and separate litigation and joint litigation.

There being no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the motion, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 11-0 (Commissioners Garcia and Regalado were absent).

This motion will be memorialized and assigned Resolution No. R-675-23.
 
6B POLICY MATTERS FOR DISCUSSION BY THE BOARD  
6B1  
  231339 Discussion Item     Oliver G. Gilbert, III        
  THE ILLEGAL DUMPING PILOT PROGRAM Accepted
  REPORT: Chairman Gilbert III noted that the costs associated with the County�s Illegal Dumping Pilot Program (IDPP) were not to pay for the program but to increase the level of service of the Miami-Dade Solid Waste Management Department (WASD) to collect illegal waste throughout the County. He clarified that with the IDPP the City of Miami Gardens collected garbage at their own expense, but they would later be reimbursed for the disposal costs by WASD, which equaled what the department had to pay for waste disposal.

Chairman Gilbert III pointed out that it was the County�s responsibility to collect illegal garbage in Miami Gardens because the city was in the service area of the County. He added that Miami Gardens� charter prohibited them from hiring private garbage collectors or creating their own solid waste department.

Chairman Gilbert III commented that the costs for cleaning up illegal dumping throughout the County would be addressed in the forthcoming Budget Hearing.

Chairman Gilbert III stressed the necessity to pool resources throughout the County to address situations in specific areas of the County which did not affect other County areas.

Commissioner Gonzalez noted that illegal dumping was a large problem in the County and it was a priority for him.

Chairman Gilbert III explained to Commissioner Gonzalez how the IDPP operated and the costs associated with the program.

Commissioner Bermudez noted the importance of being aware that current municipalities had different agreements than prior municipalities.

Ordinance 23-49

Vote: 10 - 0
Absent: Rodriguez , Garc�a
Excused: Regalado
  REPORT: Commissioner Bastien proffered an amendment to the foregoing proposed ordinance, which was distributed to the Board, as follows:

�Commissioner Bastien moves to amend Agenda Item 7C to provide a preference for the expenditure of monies from the Trust Fund for developments in Commission Districts with the highest need, as determined by the Board after recommendations from the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee, taking into account statistics from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development or the Florida Housing Finance Corporation related to areas in the county that have the greatest need for affordable and workforce housing and to developments with long-term affordability. Commissioner Bastien further moves to delay implementation of Section 1, Section 2, and Section 3 of the ordinance by one year.

�On page MDC0014, paragraph (7) is amended to read:

�Notwithstanding the foregoing, preference shall be given to developments in districts with the highest need, as determined by the Board of County Commissioners after recommendations by the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee. Such preference shall take into account any statistics from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development or the Florida Housing Finance Corporation related to areas within Miami-Dade County that have the greatest need for affordable and workforce housing and to developments with long-term affordability.

�On page MDC0017, a new Section 6 is added as follows, with the remaining sections renumbered accordingly:

�Section 6. The provisions of Section 1, Section 2, and Section 3 of this ordinance shall not be implemented until one year from the effective date of this ordinance.�

Commissioner Bastien voiced her concerns with foregoing proposed ordinance because it did not guarantee that funding would be equitably distributed among the commission districts that needed the funding the most.

Commissioner Bastien noted that during the June 12, 2023 Housing, Recreation, Culture and Community Development Committee (HRCCD), she proposed an amendment, which she distributed today (7/6), to have funding distributed equitably to the commission districts that needed them the most (Commission Districts 1, 2, 3 and 9) and to delay implementing Sections 1, 2 and 3 of the agenda item. She voted against the agenda item in the HRCCD meeting after her proposed amendment was not accepted (See Agenda Item 1G1, Legislative File No. 230633, at the June 12, 2023 HRCCD meeting). Commissioner Bastien again proffered the same amendment during today�s meeting.

Commissioner Higgins explained that in the agenda item, the Miami-Dade County Public Housing and Community Development Department (PHCD) had to prove that over a five-year period it spent funding from the Affordable and Workforce Housing Trust Fund (AWHTF), renamed from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) as per the proposed ordinance. She pointed out that the AHTF had been amended several times and opined that it was ineffective until it was administered by PHCD and the Board.

Commissioner Higgins opined that the language of the agenda item indicated funding was to be distributed equitably and Commissioner Bastien�s amendment may restrict overall distribution of the funds. She did not accept the second part of the amendment about delaying implementing Sections 1 through 3 of the proposed ordinance because the funding had to be spent for affordable and workforce housing.

Commissioner Hardemon questioned if the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Board (AHTFB) ever allocated funds over the last ten years.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava pointed out that the AHTFB had past difficulties with distributing funds.

In response to Commissioner Hardemon�s question, Mr. Alex Ballina, Director, PHCD, stated that the AHTFB spent little of the funds and the majority of the spending was for allocations to the County�s 13 districts.

Discussion ensued among the Board members about equitably distributing affordable housing throughout the County. Commissioner Hardemon expressed his concerns that there was a tendency to develop affordable housing in impoverished communities and opined such housing needed to be developed in more affluent communities. He explained that this would expose impoverished residents to affluent communities and lifestyles.

Chairman Gilbert III agreed with Commissioner Hardemon and opined that every area in the County needed diverse housing and communities had to accommodate everyone. He also commented that concentrating poverty in impoverished communities was not beneficial to those communities.

In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� question as to why the amendment was proposed to the Board after it was not accepted at the HRCCD meeting, Executive Assistant County Attorney Jess McCarty said that the amendment was different and the motion for an amendment could be brought to the Board even if it failed at a committee meeting.

Responding to Commissioner Steinberg�s question over who would assume responsibility after the AHTFB was dissolved, Commissioner Higgins stated that all allocations from the AHWTF would be approved by the Board.

Commissioner Bastien clarified that the amendment referred to workforce housing, as well.

After Chairman Gilbert III confirmed that Commissioner Bastien�s proposed amendment was not accepted by Commissioner Higgins, Commissioner Hardemon proposed an amendment to revert the title of the AHWTF back to the original AHTF because he opined workforce housing and affordable housing were synonymous.

Commissioner Higgins accepted Commissioner Hardemon�s amendment after Assistant County Attorney Melissa Gallo confirmed this was permissible.

Chairman Gilbert III paused discussion about the agenda item and recognized the members of the non-profit organization ECO Planet Earth, who attended today�s meeting.

Ms. Nalisa Saati, Program Director, ECO Planet Earth, briefly spoke about her organization�s mission and introduced several interns who attended the meeting.

After the ECO Planet Earth members left the meeting, discussion resumed about the agenda item.

Assistant County Attorney Gallo answered questions from Commissioner McGhee about how funding would be allocated if it was for specific projects within the five-year period. She noted there was not a cut off for these projects, which allowed other projects to access these allocations, however, in the five-year period, efforts had to be made to ensure the funding was distributed equitably among the commission districts.

Commissioner Hardemon voiced his concerns that affluent commission districts would benefit over impoverished commission districts. He suggested guidelines be placed to ensure that funding can be distributed equally and speculated if the Board should mandate that districts develop affordable housing.

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

  REPORT: Commissioner Hardemon voiced his concerns with the foregoing proposed resolution because some small businesses that incurred financial hardships did not meet the award grant threshold from the Small Business Relief Grant (SBRG) program. He opined there was disparity in the program and sought input about addressing the issue.

Mr. Gary Hartfield, Director, Small Business Development (SBD), noted the SBD consulted with Commissioner Hardemon and devised a more equitable method for granting the awards to the businesses facing financial hardships that did not qualify for the SBRG. He added that the companies had to complete the applications for the award and list their hardships so the SBD could properly determine the level of hardships.

Assistant County Attorney David Stephen Hope read an amendment by Commissioner Hardemon, as follows:

�To amend Item 8F1 to remove the $1,000,000 grant award threshold and allow Small Business Enterprise (SBE) grant applicants to be able to receive a grant award covering up to 50% of the applicant�s financial hardship due to an increase in materials, labor, or fees while working on up to three County projects or contracts.�

Commissioner Cohen Higgins expressed concerns over the $1,000,000 threshold. She pointed out that to qualify for the grant, applicants had to be part of the SBE and have held a County contract during a relevant time period. She also noted that the Board always adjusted contracts for companies to reflect any hardships they underwent and she sought an explanation for the SBRG since the hardships were already addressed.

Mr. Hartfield explained that the time period was during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which severely disrupted SBD�s processes, supply chains and increased costs. He noted that despite consultations with the Miami-Dade County Attorney�s Office, the SBD could not find a solution for these companies� financial burdens, and the SBRG program was the only way to address the issues for the small businesses.

In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� question as to how the SBE contracts differed from other amended contracts approved by the Board, Assistant County Attorney Hope replied that there was no difference with the contracts. He referred to Mr. Hartfield�s comments about the supply chain disruptions and increased costs due to COVID-19, and there was no other way to effectively assist these small businesses. After he told Commissioner Cohen Higgins that he was not certain if these businesses had notified the Board about their issues, she agreed with him that the contracts were not different from one another.

Chairman Gilbert III pointed out that the Board�s meeting procedures may have prevented companies from coming to the Board to give notice about their hardships.

Commissioner Hardemon reminded the Board members that some of businesses were subcontractors with hardships and may not have been awarded the SBRG.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins voiced her concerns that this legislation would lead to the Board overriding contracts through grants. She asked if the applicants had to provide notice in the applications if they received other hardship funding.

Mr. Hartfield answered that applicants had to respond to this question in the applications. He also explained which expense claims were acceptable by the SBD and he noted that the SBD would make the final decision about distributing the SBRG funds to businesses.

Chairman Gilbert III noted that this issue had been often addressed by the Board through various methods, and the SBRG program was a method to assist small businesses.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava pointed out this matter had been discussed since 2021 and confirmed the SBRG program was the only viable method to assist the small businesses with one-time funding from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

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

  REPORT: Commissioner Bermudez voiced his concerns regarding the cancellation of proposals for engineering services from Alvarez Engineers, Inc. and HBC Engineering Company. He noted that this was detrimental to small businesses that spent money on the proposals and were awarded with contracts, which were then canceled. He sought assurance that small businesses would get the same consideration that large businesses had when contracts were canceled.

Chairman Gilbert III shared the same concerns voiced by Commissioner Bermudez. He opined that small businesses needed proper notification about contract cancelations, and questioned why the businesses were not notified.

Ms. Namita Uppal, Director, Miami-Dade Strategic Procurement Department (SPD), explained the standard process of canceling contracts and that private businesses were supposed to be notified about cancelations. She noted that she would find out what happened with the process and informed Chairman Gilbert III that the Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) determined that the contracted services could be accomplished done by DTPW staff and no longer needed the contracts.

Mr. Eulois Cleckley, Director, DTPW, repeated the explanation provided by Ms. Uppal about why the contracts were canceled. He also stated that his department would work with SPD to improve and expedite the procurement process. Additionally, Mr. Cleckley provided a timeline of the solicitation for the procurement which began in 2020 and DTPW determined in October 20222 that the services were no longer needed. He informed Chairman Gilbert III that the proposal was formally rejected in March 2023.

Chairman Gilbert III stated this was unacceptable because of the length of time between the determination and the formal rejection. He opined this lack of communication from the County impaired relations between it and private businesses.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava agreed with Commissioner Gilbert III and noted she created the SPD to streamline the procurement process and make it more consistent. She noted that there would be recommendations from the Administration about procurement, which would address the delay in notifications about cancelations.

Commissioner McGhee asked Ms. Uppal about the amount of money the businesses spent on the procurement process and if they could be reimbursed.

Ms. Uppal indicated that she did not have the information and advised against the reimbursement.

In response to Commissioner Cabrera�s question about whether or not the businesses were notified about the cancelations, Ms. Uppal replied that certain procurement processes were centralized and staff was examining why the businesses received late notices. She continued that SPD was conducting a study on behalf of Mayor Levine Cava about the procurement award process and determining how to expedite it, which would include improved and expedient notifications.

Mayor Levine Cava pointed out that departments were responsible for providing notifications. She also repeated that the study would examine ways to expedite the procurement process, which would include preventing notification delays.

Mr. Cleckley stated that he needed to find out if the businesses were notified and would follow up with the Board.

Chairman Gilbert III stated he was not in favor of compensating businesses for cancelations and opined that the only recourse was to improve the procurement process. He stressed that businesses needed immediate notifications, although he understood why DTPW no longer needed the contracts.

Commissioner Bermudez agreed with Chairman Gilbert III and noted that small businesses incurred costs during the early stages of the procurement even if the contracts were canceled.

Mayor Levine Cava acknowledged the concerns raised by the Board members and repeated that Ms. Uppal would study this issue and address them in the forthcoming report.

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

  REPORT: Commissioner Bermudez sought assurance that an Unincorporated Municipal Service Area (UMSA) west of Sweetwater would be included in the cost analysis report for on-demand transit services.

Mr. Eulois Cleckley, Director, Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW), told Commissioner Bermudez that the concerns he voiced about the UMSA would be addressed in the report.

Commissioner Higgins noted that in the June 14, 2023 Transportation, Mobility and Planning Committee meeting, the agenda item was forwarded to today�s (7/6) Board meeting with the current vendor of on-demand services for the next 18 months. She continued that a full procurement would be done and she encouraged the Board members to meet with the DTPW regarding the procurement�s request for proposal.

Assistant County Attorney Bruce Libhaber read an amendment proposed by Commissioner Higgins, as follows:

�To amend Agenda Item 8P2, specifically Supplemental Agreement No. 3 on page MDC0012 to modify the scope of services to include the facilitation of dispatching passengers to other transportation network companies or taxi cabs through the GO Connect app. The costs of such rides would be billed on a pass-through basis with no markup and in no event shall the costs billed for such a ride exceed $15. This shall not result in the adjustment of the value of the total contract allocation.�

It was moved by Commissioner Higgins that the foregoing proposed resolution be adopted, as amended. This motion was seconded by Vice Chairman Rodriguez and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 11-0 (Commissioners Garcia and Regalado were absent).

The amended version of this Resolution has been assigned Resolution No. R-618-23.

  REPORT: Commissioner Bermudez questioned why the County should spend funding on office and non-office furniture for forthcoming constitutional offices, specifically the Miami-Dade Sheriff�s Office (Sheriff�s Office).

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava replied that providing the furniture would help strengthen the Administration�s relationship with the Sheriff�s Office. She also pointed out that a detailed inventory would be provided to Board.

Mr. Alex Mu�oz, Director, Miami-Dade Internal Services Department (ISD), confirmed that the foregoing proposed resolution would replace old office furniture for various County departments. He pointed out that in the contracts, ISD was able to cancel orders for new furniture if necessary in anticipation for the constitutional officer.

Commissioner Bermudez commented he was reassured by the replies, although he pointed out the Board would not have any authority over the constitutional offices.

Responding to Commissioner Cabrera�s question if the contracts were a renewal of a previous pre-qualification pool, Ms. Namita Uppal, Director, Miami-Dade Strategic Procurement Department, answered that the prior pool would be replaced with a new pool. She also replied to his inquiry about the possibility of continuing to renew the pool on a yearly basis instead of every five years. Ms. Uppal explained that even though the agenda item was for a five-year term for the pool, the Board would still approve the pool yearly through the budget process.

Mayor Levine Cava clarified there was a five-year window in the agenda item that was renewed by the Board.

In response to Chairman Gilbert III�s request, Assistant County Attorney Michael Valdes clarified the specific language from the Florida Statutes which required an inventory of assets to be transferred to the new Sheriff�s Office. He further explained that the Sheriff-elect could negotiate with the County to procure additional items for the Sheriff�s Office, or after taking office, request funding for additional supplies and items from the Sheriff�s Office own budget. He informed Chairman Gilbert III the County still had to fund the furniture because the departments that would become constitutional offices were still under the County�s jurisdiction.

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

  REPORT: Commissioner Cohen Higgins pointed out that in the foregoing proposed resolution it was written that competition for the project was not practical because of the proprietary nature of the software used by Motorola Solutions, Inc. (Motorola). She also noted that during the July 19, 2022 Board meeting, the Board approved a designated purchase contract with Motorola and questioned why Miami International Airport (MIA) was not included in the designated purchase. Cautioning about enabling a monopoly of radio-related services in the County, Commissioner Cohen Higgins asked when it would be feasible for competition to take place.

Mr. Greg Rubin, Assistant Fire Chief, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department, replied that the agenda item was in response to a citation the Miami-Dade Aviation Department received due to poor radio coverage at MIA�s terminals. He continued that this agenda item could not be included with the previous agenda item regarding the designated purchase contract because the original agenda item was undergoing a procurement process.

Regarding Commissioner Cohen Higgins� concerns about Motorola, Mr. Rubin stated he was not aware of other County departments that used proprietary software from Motorola. He also noted that the County always sought new opportunities to expand its ability to communicate on different platforms and mentioned other companies the County contracted with for communication services.

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

  REPORT: Mr. Eulois Cleckley, Director, Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW), confirmed with Commissioner Higgins that DTPW had the land the department needed to develop an electric bus charging facility in the southern region of the County.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins spoke about the history of a previous, related agenda item that was vetoed. (See Agenda Item 11A5 Substitute, Legislative File No. 220161 at the January 19, 2022 Board of County Commissioners meeting). She mentioned that in the past meeting she voiced concerns about the previous agenda item, which was considered before the Board as a new agenda item in today�s (7/6) meeting, but her prior concerns had not been completely addressed. Commissioner Cohen Higgins sought more information about the foregoing proposed resolution and questioned why the property listed in the agenda item did not have an independent appraisal.

Mr. Alex Mu�oz, Director, Miami-Dade Internal Services Department (ISD), noted that the original independent appraisals were used for the property.

After Commissioner Cohen Higgins pointed out that a report from the Miami-Dade County Office of the Inspector General (OIG) noted that ISD had not conducted independent appraisals, Mr. Felix Jimenez, Inspector General, clarified the finding was based on the value of the property and its intent. He stated the intent factored into the valuation of the property.

Referring to the OIG report, Commissioner Cohen Higgins noted that in the declaration of restrictions, the Board could be petitioned to change the property for residential development.

Mr. Jimenez replied this was based on OIG�s interpretation. He added that the agenda item was improved because it properly underwent the evaluation process, but his office still had concerns with it.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner Cohen Higgins and Assistant County Attorney Debra Herman regarding the ability of an applicant to petition the Board to change the designation of the property for residential development. Assistant County Attorney Herman noted the petition was at the Board�s prerogative to approve it.

In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� question as to why the restrictions of declaration did not include the restriction of such petitions, Assistant County Attorney Herman answered that residential housing was specifically not allowed, although any developer was permitted to petition for residential housing.

After Commissioner Cohen Higgins pointed out that there was not any clear intention from the developer, Homestead Town Center, LLC (HTC), to not build residential units at the property, Mr. Al Dotson, an attorney representing HTC, confirmed that HTC agreed to the restriction to prevent residential development. He also explained why HTC originally favored a mixed-use development for the property before deciding to develop the property solely for commercial use, which was based on the changing market.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins voiced her concerns about the property�s investor, Cider Moon Investment Group, LLC (Cider Moon), which specialized in residential communities. Mr. Dotson pointed out that Cider Moon was aware of the proposal and its restrictions, and had submitted letters of intent for the project. He assured her that HTC would maintain control over the project.

In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� question about containers placed on the property, Mr. Dotson stated there were no containers because of the nature of the investment in the containers and the lack of a permanent agreement with the County.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins noted the OIG report recommended that changes in ownership of over 20 percent be approved by the Board, which was rejected by HTC. She asked Mr. Dotson why HTC was opposed to notifying the Board about substantial changes of ownership or receiving approval from the Board for changing ownership.

In response, Mr. Dotson referred to a memo from CBRE, a consultant used by the County, which noted that CBRE and HTC were unaware of the 20 percent requirement. He opined this requirement impacted the ability to attain investors and clarified that HTC did not oppose notifying the Board of any changes in ownership. Mr. Dotson also noted that Fidelity Health Group and its owner, which lent money to HTC, did not have any ownership interest in the property.

Assistant County Attorney Herman informed Commissioner Cohen Higgins that a reverter clause was in the agreement for the conveyed property.

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