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

Commissioner Hardemon expressed his concern regarding the appellate component of the foregoing legislation.

Senator (Sen.) Garcia reviewed the intent of the foregoing proposed ordinance.

Commissioner Hardemon spoke about the expansion of the definition of County projects as outlined in the proposed ordinance.

Commissioner Regalado concurred with the concerns raised by Commissioner Hardemon. She commented that the Commission was trying to change the dynamic between municipalities and the County to encourage more partnership and spoke about the need for reciprocity. Commissioner Regalado voiced her concerns about the turnaround timeframes and stated there was no reason to delay the foregoing legislation.

Sen. Garcia reviewed the timeframes outlined in the proposed legislation were consistent with the County�s rules, including the increase from seven (7) days to 15 days for municipalities to conduct a completeness review.

Commissioner Hardemon requested the Board consider amending the legislation to include language regarding reciprocity and reiterated his concerns about the appellate element.

Chairman Gilbert III noted that the legislation had been vetted by the Committee and stated there should be reciprocity in terms of the time for processing permits.

Commissioner Regalado suggested the Commission consider amending the appeal component and noted there were limited reasons for an appeal to be brought before the Board of County Commissioners (Board).

Commissioner Hardemon requested clarification about the condition listed under Section 33A-7(B)(1).

Sen. Garcia acknowledged the concerns raised by his colleagues and indicated his commitment to addressing their concerns.

Commissioner Bermudez indicated his support for the foregoing proposed legislation despite having some of the same concerns as his colleague, Commissioner Hardemon. He commented on the importance of establishing a clear appellate process and concurred about the need for reciprocity.

Commissioner Steinberg recognized the good intent of the legislation but stated that she could not support the foregoing legislation in its current form.

Discussion ensued among various Board members related to possible disagreements between the Board and municipalities about the development of facilities; the Board being a good partner in facilitating reciprocity; and future legislation to address reciprocity.

There being no further questions or comments, the Board voted on the foregoing proposed ordinance as presented.

Ordinance 24-20

Excused: Higgins , Cohen Higgins
  REPORT: County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.

Commissioner Regalado briefly reviewed the history and intent of the foregoing proposed ordinance. She spoke about the need for affordable housing options in the area, and the benefits of the item noting that it would benefit airport workers and help alleviate traffic congestion.

Commissioner Gonzalez indicated his support for the foregoing legislation and proffered an amendment to exempt Miami Executive Airport (TMB) based on the concerns raised by the residents in the subject area pertaining to the increased density.

Commissioner Regalado indicated her support for delaying implementation at TMB, instead of a complete exemption.

Commissioner Gonzalez agreed to Commissioner Regalado�s suggestion to delay implementation by five (5) to 10 years until the proper infrastructure was in place.

Chairman Gilbert III indicated his support for delaying implementation at TMB for five (5) years.

Commissioners Regalado, Gonzalez and Chairman Gilbert III discussed the development of the OSZ, the spurring of development in the near future, the housing for airport employees near the Miami Executive Airport, the retention issue for airport employees/workers, and maximum density.

Commissioner Hardemon questioned the need for limiting development in the OSZ for Miami-Dade County airports at this time, and asked if the OSZ designation could be removed while maintaining the restrictions in the subject areas according to the Federal Aviation Administration requirements.

Commissioner Regalado stated that she would work with Miami-Dade County Aviation Department (MDAD) staff to address the issues highlighted by Commissioner Hardemon in order to help the economic development and the growth around the airports.

Commissioner Bermudez pointed out that the legislation did not include decommissioned airports.

Assistant County Attorney Dennis Kerbel clarified that the proposed ordinance applied to the airports listed in the item.

Commissioner Steinberg inquired about how the qualifying median income was determined in regards to the workforce-housing component.

Commissioner Regalado noted workforce housing in Miami-Dade County ranged from 120 to 140 percent median income and that her intent was to provide options for lower income airport workers. She noted that MDAD would oversee the workforce housing and the outreach to the airport workers. Commissioner Regalado added that airport workers would be given priority before the housing was offered to other prospective buyers.

Commissioner Steinberg noted the 15 percent was only for 30 years and asked that the Board/ consider taking away the 30-year cap, or extend the time, if the County�s goal was to sustain the airports and affordability.

Commissioner Regalado explained that infill housing in Miami-Dade County was capped at eight (8) to 10 years and most of the workforce housing was 15 years. Therefore, 30 years was a large ask and most were around eight (8) to 15 years.

Chairman Gilbert III asked that the legislation be amended to include a reporting mechanism to determine the number of airport workers that would reside in the workforce housing to be developed in the OSZs.

Commissioner Regalado accepted the proffered amendment.

Commissioner Cabrera echoed Chairman Gilbert�s III comments and concerns; and asked to be added as a co-prime sponsor.

It was moved by Commissioner Regalado that the Board adopt the foregoing proposed ordinance as amended to delay implementation by five (5) years to allow for the development of workforce housing within the Outer Safety Zone (OSZ) for the Miami Executive Airport; and to require the Miami-Dade County Aviation Department (MDAD) Director to provide an annual report outlining how many airport workers actually reside in the workforce housing to be developed in the OSZs. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Cabrera, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 11-0 (Commissioners Cohen Higgins and Higgins were absent).

The amended version was assigned Ordinance Number 24-20.

  REPORT: Commissioner Steinberg stated that while she supported the foregoing proposed resolution she was concerned about the County�s practice of rejecting proposals only to continue negotiating with the same vendors. She commented the purpose of having a competitive process was to ensure the County received the best value and product and to promote transparency. Commissioner Steinberg spoke about the need to reevaluate the County�s competitive processes.

Chief Operations Officer Jimmy Morales, Office of the Mayor, explained in this case, there was a problem with the bidders being late or nonresponsive, and assured the Board that the Administration believed it was in the best interest to continue the process with the original bidders rather than starting over.

Chairman Gilbert III noted that the Board made the final determination regarding responsiveness and indicated his support of the item.

Commissioner Regalado voiced her support of the foregoing proposed resolution and spoke about the need for the services. She commented on the County�s procurement processes and the Board�s role in the process.

Commissioner Bermudez concurred with the comments made by Commissioner Steinberg about the need to review the procurement process, including bid protests. He noted despite these concerns he would support the legislation.

Chairman Gilbert III noted his concerns with the County�s lengthy procurement process and the fiscal and operational impact on projects.

Commissioner Regalado provided a brief historical review regarding the development of the existing procurement policies.

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

  REPORT: Senator (Sen.) Garcia requested clarification regarding the scope of work, whether a cost analysis had been completed and why the Administration could not perform the services outlined in the item.

Ms. Olga Espinosa-Anderson, Interim Director, Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM), reviewed the operational processes for the trash and recycle centers, which provided the ability for the community and landscapers to dispose of items at no cost providing they resided within the County service area, and provided specific containers for clean yard waste such as tree cuttings. Additionally, she explained that DSWM staff would transport the clean yard waste to a vendor instead of a landfill, and the vendor would then reuse the waste.

Sen. Garcia spoke about the fiscal impact of the item and questioned what would occur in the event the containers were at capacity.

Ms. Espinosa-Anderson stated the County�s DSWM staff would transport all waste to the landfills to be disposed. She noted that because of a bond ordinance the County�s Trash Collectors must pay $71.53 per ton, which was the current contract rate. Ms. Espinosa-Anderson pointed out in this particular contract the County would save money because the rate would be $69.50 per ton.

Discussion ensued between Sen. Garcia and Ms. Espinosa-Anderson regarding various components of the services outlined in the contract such as the rate per ton, the cost analysis for personnel, fuel and other related cost factors, the ability of in-house staff performing the services, and the non-availability or the expertise of DSWM staff to perform the services.

Sen. Garcia reiterated the need for a complete cost analysis to review the feasibility of performing the contract services in-house and indicated he could not support the legislation based on these concerns.

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

  241057 Resolution      
  NON-AGENDA REPORT ITEM(S) FOR THE MARCH 5, 2024, BOARD REGULAR MEETING Presented
  REPORT: Commissioner Hardemon inquired about Spring Break in the City of Miami Beach (Miami Beach) and questioned if Miami-Dade County expended funds or covered any costs for restrictions enacted by municipalities.

In response to Commissioner Hardemon�s inquiry, Chairman Gilbert III confirmed the County would provide funding because of the mutual aid agreement with the City of Miami Beach (Miami Beach).

Commissioner Hardemon stated that while he recognized the importance of mutual aid agreements to law enforcement and other matters, he was concerned about Miami Beach implementing measures, which gave the perception of division between their elected officials and the County administration.

Commissioner Hardemon voiced his concerns about the County funding police activities for Miami Beach that targeted visitors and the possible repercussions to the County. He questioned whether the County had the ability to require Miami Beach to pay for their policing.

Chief Operations Officer Jimmy Morales, Office of the Mayor, advised that he had not reviewed the mutual aid agreement and he unsure if the County had discretion to modify the mutual aid agreement. He spoke of his previous role as part of the Miami Beach�s administration in regards to the County providing a certain number of Miami-Dade County Police Department (MDPD) police officers every year along with other jurisdictions during Spring Break to perform various duties such as traffic control etcetera.

Commissioner Hardemon restated his inquiry regarding Miami Beach being required to pay the County when using MDPD police officers.

Mr. Morales commented on the mutual aid benefits and reciprocity.

Commissioner Hardemon voiced his apprehension about Miami Beach�s policies and noted that he requested the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) to offer support to Miami Beach when developing tourism related policies. Commissioner Hardemon spoke about the County�s role in mutual aid agreements and reiterated his concerns that Miami Beach�s policies were targeting a specific demographic.

Chairman Gilbert III recognized the concerns raised by Commissioner Hardemon and spoke about the Board�s role in reviewing mutual aid agreements involving the County. Additionally, he noted the MDPD would soon be under the purview of the Sheriff and briefly explained how the mutual aid agreements worked.

Commissioner Hardemon asked if the foregoing legislation could be amended to require reimbursement for services provided to Miami Beach.

Assistant County Attorney Anita Viciana Zapata stated that she was unsure if the current mutual aid agreement with Miami Beach contained a provision for cost reimbursement. She indicated the Board could revisit the mutual aid agreement and/or explore other options to address cost reimbursement.

Discussion ensued between Chairman Gilbert III and Commissioner Hardemon regarding Miami Beach�s rights under the current mutual aid agreement.

Chairman Gilbert III expressed his concerns regarding the mutual aid agreement language and Miami Beach�s tourism policies.
Commissioner Rodriguez echoed the sentiment shared by Commissioner Hardemon regarding Miami Beach�s policies. He pointed out that businesses in the municipality were losing revenue because of the new rules and questioned if any of the revenue collected from the increased towing fees would be used to subsidize businesses.

Chairman Gilbert III noted that the mutual aid agreement did not address subsidies or towing fees and advised that the Board had no jurisdiction over these matters.

Commissioner Bermudez spoke about the far-reaching consequences of the mutual aid agreement and urged the Board to adopt a more holistic approach when reviewing/entering into these types of arrangements.

Chairman Gilbert III stated that the Board should discuss how it viewed mutual aid agreements. He commented on the process municipalities must undergo when planning major events, and pointed out that MDPD officers were paid overtime by the County to staff these events. Chairman Gilbert III noted that the County�s fiscal impact should be considered in such arrangements.

Commissioner Hardemon concurred with the comments made by Commissioner Bermudez.

Chairman Gilbert III concluded that mutual aid agreements could be customized based on needs and circumstance.
