CITIZEN'S PRESENTATION BY DR. MARIA ILCHEVA, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND OPERATIONS, FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY REGARDING THE COMMISSION AUDITOR'S STATUS OF WOMEN IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY 2023 REPORT [SEE AGENDA ITEM NO. 14B1]
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Dr. Maria Ilcheva, Assistant Director of Florida International University Planning and Operations, provided a PowerPoint Presentation on the 2023 Status on Women Report. She clarified that this marked the 7th Annual report as mandated by a 2016 ordinance Dr. Ilcheva emphasized the study focused on four key areas: economic development, education, health, and safety, providing detailed statistics for each category.
Following Dr. Ilcheva�s presentation, Commission Auditor Yinka Majekodunmi expressed gratitude and highlighted the improvement in the pay gap for female Miami-Dade County employees. However, he also brought attention to the concerning rise in crimes against women, particularly noting an increase in assault and sexual crimes.
Commissioner Bastien expressed her concern regarding three crucial issues that required immediate attention from policymakers to ensure parity and inclusion for all Miami-Dade County residents. Firstly, she expressed concern over the escalating poverty rates among African American women, which surged by 17% in 2021 and 20% in 2022. Secondly, she emphasized the significant disparities in maternity health outcomes among Caucasian, Hispanic, and Black women, underscoring the urgent need for intervention. Additionally, Commissioner Bastien drew attention to the alarming mortality rate among Black women, which surpassed that of Caucasian and Hispanic women. She emphasized the correlation between poverty, health, and violence, stressing the importance of addressing these issues to promote inclusion and parity. She highlighted the concerning trend of increased violent crimes committed by juvenile females. Commissioner Bastien expressed appreciation to the Commission Auditor and Dr. Ilcheva for their diligence in preparing and presenting the report.
Senator Garcia concurred with Commissioner Bastien's remarks and commented on the rise in sexually transmitted infections (STIs), particularly Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), among women in Miami-Dade County. He pointed out that African American and Hispanic women were disproportionately affected. Senator Garcia urged the Administration to collaborate with the Department of Health (DOH) to address this issue. He stressed the importance of education and prevention, citing previous efforts, but expressed disappointment in the lack of innovative outreach to ensure women received proper education on self-care.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins expressed concern about the 18% wage gap mentioned in the report. She inquired whether this gap was due to women choosing different career paths or if women and men were entering the same jobs but women were being paid 18% less than men were.
In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins' question, Dr. Ilcheva clarified that the wage gap partly stemmed from certain professions having more men than women, such as construction and computer engineering, where men made up about three-quarters of the workforce. She reported in some instances, women chose jobs based on factors such as flexibility for childcare. Dr. Ilcheva concluded that this was a complex issue and it was challenging to identify every contributing factor to the wage gap.
Commissioner Regalado emphasized the importance of a broader discussion on women's employment and childcare, highlighting its significant impact on the wage gap. She also proposed implementing programs to introduce young girls to math, engineering, and coding, aiming to better prepare them for higher-paying opportunities.
Chairman Gilbert III emphasized the importance of addressing such issues through policy. He urged the administration to consider the creation of allocations and programs to address the aforementioned issues as part of the upcoming budget.
Ms. Carladenise Edwards, Chief Administrative Officer, Office of the Mayor, agreed with Chairman Gilbert�s III remarks. She mentioned that when Mayor Levine Cava was a Commissioner, the intent of the report was to provide insights into actions that could address the challenges faced by women in Miami-Dade County. Ms. Edwards thanked the Board for their involvement and welcomed recommendations to address the existing gaps.

REPORT:
County Attorney Geri Bonzon Keenan read the title of foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.
Commissioner McGhee stated the purpose of the foregoing proposed ordinance was to address the agricultural community�s concerns, regarding farm sustainability, noise from local businesses, and offsite automobile impacts. He explained that the agritourism legislation was drafted following his meetings with farmers, noting the proposed ordinance underwent multiple revisions, including input from the Administration. Commissioner McGhee advised that the third revision incorporated all feedback received, reporting that notable changes addressed concerns about industrial trucks parking on farmland and expanding participation in the agritourism district, now named the Miami Redland Agritourism District. He emphasized the ordinance's potential to inject billions into the community, preserve farmland, and mitigate noise violations.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Levine Cava expressed appreciation to Commissioner McGhee for addressing concerns from the Agricultural Practices Advisory Board and other stakeholders in the Redland area. She highlighted the changes in Supplement No. 3 and noted her past efforts in supporting agritourism during her tenure as District 8 Commissioner. Acknowledging the challenging times for farmers, Mayor Levine Cava stated she would welcome additional revenue sources related to farming. She emphasized that the Administration's recommendations were based on a completed agricultural study, detailing parity for all parcels' maximum allowance. She explained that this recommendation stemmed from community concerns and the study's findings, underlining the assumption that once lands were taken out of agricultural production, they would not return. Mayor Levine Cava stated eliminating the Krome district maintained parity and removed a preference corridor. Providing further details and statistics from the study, she mentioned approximately 3,000 acres could be affected. Mayor Levine Cava noted the Administration anticipated amendments and clarifications soon.
Vice Chairman Rodriguez expressed appreciation to Commissioner McGhee for his efforts on this legislation and acknowledged the adjustments made to accommodate all stakeholders. Vice Chairman Rodriguez noted this was an opportunity to support, enhance, and bring life back to agriculture. He expressed concern regarding the 2.5-acre cap and suggested amending the foregoing proposed ordinance to limit construction of structures to 5% of the total parcel if the maximum coverage on the single parcel did not exceed two and a half acres.
Commissioner Regalado noted she was in support of the Krome District's commercial focus but expressed reservations about extending it to all of the Redlands due to its proximity to residential areas. She suggested implementing a pilot program before the full rollout and noted that the Board could not prohibit Agritourism due to State law preempting such action. Commissioner Regalado emphasized that most complaints were about noise and parking, which needed strict enforcement, and offered metrics for evaluation.
Commissioner Bermudez sought clarification regarding the consequences of the amendment proposed by Mayor Levine Cava.
Commissioner Higgins concurred with Commissioner Regalado's concerns regarding the Krome District and suggested revisiting the 5% construction limit and acreage cap to safeguard the residential areas of the Redlands.
Senator Garcia requested clarification regarding the parity issue and the ultimate impact on the agricultural land.
Mayor Levine Cava explained that when Supplement 3 was initially drafted, permitted structures on up to 6,000 acres of agricultural land. However, she clarified that with the revision specifying a 5% limit and a maximum of 2.5 acres per parcel, the proposed legislation would now restrict agricultural lands to 2,600 acres. She emphasized that this represented a substantial decrease in the area impacted by the ordinance.
Addressing questions about the District and parity, Mr. Charles Laprad, Agricultural Director, Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER), clarified that the legislation presented to the Board today proposed allowing 5% of structures for agritourism, up to 2.5 acres, in all areas except Krome. He further elaborated that the Krome District would permit up to 49% of such structures within a 3-quarter-mile radius on each side. Mr. Laprad explained that if the amendment was accepted, it would allow 5% of structures everywhere, with a maximum of 2.5 acres each. Regarding concerns about parity, he highlighted that businesses were operating agritourism in the County, excluding Krome, for many years, and requested not to be excluded from these regulations.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Regalado and Mr. Laprad regarding the 2.5-acre cap, the Krome District, its adjacent parcels and access to the street.
Commissioner Regalado pointed out that the options were discussed during a Sunshine meeting and opined that there was a big difference between the establishments on Krome Avenue and those directly adjacent to them. She noted only a few establishments could sustain a 10% level of use.
Responding to Commissioner Regalado�s comments, Mr. Laprod clarified that the property was granted agricultural use permissions at an ancillary level, based on the amount of existing farming activity. He noted the proposed amendment only addressed structures related to these agricultural uses and the structures must stay within the maximum allowed limit of either 5% of the total property or 2.5 acres, whichever was smaller.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins highlighted the foregoing proposed ordinance had undergone significant changes from its original form. She emphasized that the current version appeared to be an improvement and noted that she previously advocated for deferring the item to allow the community to review the revisions presented at the last meeting and to facilitate consensus between the community and the administration.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins voiced her apprehension, noting that the foregoing proposed legislation affected numerous residents in District 8. She commented on the opposition to the legislation and pointed out that the Agricultural Practices Advisory Board had passed resolutions against it on multiple occasions. Commissioner Cohen Higgins also indicated that the Dade County Farm Bureau, the Dade AGRI (Agriculture Growers Research Industry) Council, Florida Nursery Growers and Landscape Association (FNGLA), Miami Countryside Agritourism Association and various other Homeowners associations and organizations had all sent letters of opposition to the proposed legislation. She explained that despite amendments, the groups remained opposed due to the need to differentiate between legitimate agritourism and commercial activities.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins raised concerns about whether the ordinance would undermine agricultural land by allowing commercial development. She noted state regulations prohibited agritourism structures on agricultural zones and cautioned that permitting commercial use could reduce farming activity and available acreage. She highlighted a specific concern about land speculators targeting 20 acres in the Redlands for an amusement park, attempting to exploit Florida Greenbelt tax benefits. Commissioner Cohen Higgins cautioned this could both burden local residents and enable profit-driven commercial development; and she requested clarification on whether the legislation would apply throughout the County or only to specific agricultural areas.
In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins' inquiry, Assistant County Attorney (ACA) Dennis Kerbel clarified that the version of the ordinance found in Agenda Item 7B Supplement No. 3 (Legislative File No. 240412) pertained to areas zoned for Agricultural Use (AU). However, she stated the current proposal focused on establishing the Miami Redland Agritourism district. He explained the district would specifically include areas located outside the Urban Development Boundary (UDB) from South of Kendall Drive to Old Ingraham Highway. ACA Kerbel specified that this designation excluded the East Everglades lands governed by Chapter 33B (Areas of Critical Environmental Concern), noting that consequently, properties zoned as AU within the UDB would not fall within the scope of this proposal.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins reasoned the foregoing legislation should not be limited to the Redlands. She read the State of Florida�s Statute and its definition of agritourism. She opined that this would proliferate amusement parks, which was not what the statute intended, nor was it the direction the County should take, especially considering the threat it posed to agricultural lands as outlined in the study.
Commissioner McGhee maintained the legislation would not commercialize the Redlands.
The foregoing proposed ordinance was amended to include the changes outlined in Agenda Item 7B Supplement No.3 along with the following additional changes:
-The area located between SW 88 Street/Kendall Drive and Old Ingraham Highway shall be referred to as the Miami-Redland Agritourism District instead of Krome Avenue Agritourism District;
- Limit the construction of agritourism structures to the Miami-Redland Agritourism district; and
- Set the limit of the construction of structures to five percent (5%) of the total parcel provided that the maximum coverage on the single parcel did not exceed two and a half acres.
Commissioner Regalado raised concerns about developers potentially building an amusement park in the Redlands. She suggested implementing restrictions to ensure that any amusements were non-motorized, which she believed could help address residents' concerns. Additionally, she reiterated her opposition to applying this proposed legislation Countywide rather than to specific agricultural areas. Commissioner Regalado also suggested amending the foregoing proposed legislation to clarify the County's definition of "amusement" to avoid misinformation and misrepresentation.
Senator Garcia clarified that the proposed legislation being discussed by the Board originated in Tallahassee, and was subsequently taken up by Commissioner McGhee, resulting in the current ordinance. He provided a detailed explanation of how the definition of "agritourism" had evolved. Expressing concern about the potential loss of agricultural land, Senator Garcia emphasized the need to preserve it for future generations and noted his opposition to the foregoing ordinance.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance, as amended.

REPORT:
Commissioner McGhee expressed appreciation to the Administration, Beyond the Bars organization, the Police Benevolent Association (PBA), various other organizations, and Department of Corrections staff for their continued efforts in prioritizing safety and addressing various concerns within Miami-Dade County�s Correctional facilities.
Senator Garcia raised concerns about the cost savings linked to this contract and asked whether any of the supplemental services would be brought back before the Board for consideration.
Addressing Senator Garcia�s concerns, Ms. Cara Tuzeo, Deputy Director, Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation (MDCR) Department, clarified that the Supplemental item outlined approximately $6.5 million worth of complimentary services, particularly focusing on phone calls. She explained that a package had been negotiated which offered 90 minutes of free phone calls per day for a year, and would benefit approximately 90% of the population. Ms. Tuzeo highlighted that the current rate for these calls was four and a half cents per minute, significantly lower than rates from two years ago.
Regarding the contract for direct services, Ms. Tuzeo emphasized that it was both cost-neutral and advantageous for the County, as it eliminated the need to subsidize free services. She explained that if optional items were selected the Board would receive notification through a memorandum. The memorandum would also outline the committed savings, which Ms. Tuzeo estimated at approximately $1.2 million in staff costs.
Commissioner Bermudez noted his support of the foregoing proposed resolution, pointing out the significance of adding a reporting element to address critical issues. He opined that the adjustments outlined in the resolution would contribute to reducing recidivism, increasing General Education Development (GED) completion by inmates, decreasing violent incidents, minimizing detainee possession of contraband, and enhancing job placement rates post-release. He encouraged Board members to adopt the resolution and the presented amendments.
Commissioner Regalado voiced her opposition to the proposed resolution, citing concerns about the County�s future oversight authority. She noted that when Constitutional Offices take effect on January 1, 2025, the County would lose its authority over correctional facilities and evidence handling. To protect the County's interests, she proposed amending the contract to include language allowing for potential assignment to the Sheriff's office at the County's request.
Chairman Gilbert III expressed support for basic inmate communication privileges - including daily phone calls, weekly visitation, emails, and unrestricted mail - but opposed providing monthly access to movies and video games. He disagreed with spending taxpayer money on entertainment for inmates and challenged the Administration's claim that these initiatives were cost-neutral. Instead, he proposed that any reward system be funded through revenue generation within the facilities themselves.
In response to Chairman Gilbert III's remarks, Ms. Tuzeo clarified that the inmate's behavioral reward program was financed by the Inmate Welfare Trust Fund. She further elaborated that the fund was comprised of surplus revenue from commissary sales, as mandated by State statute. Ms. Tuzeo noted all excess revenue generated from commissary purchases was directed into this fund for the general welfare of the inmates and a committee was responsible for allocating the funds and deciding what expenditures qualified under its purview.
Chairman Gilbert III proposed two amendments: one to establish reporting requirements and another to designate a specific funding source for the reward program.
Commissioner McGhee inquired whether it was possible to eliminate the video game option from the proposal.
Ms. Tuzeo explained that any content could be removed. However, she clarified that the funding model relied on fees from premium services to sustain free offerings like movies. She noted that all correctional facilities already had TVs with programming throughout the premises. Ms. Tuzeo advised that the free video games could be removed and reiterated that the County would not subsidize this option; it could still be part of the rewards program but funded solely by the Inmate Trust Fund.
In response to Chairman Gilbert III's remarks, Commissioner Hardemon expressed his concern regarding eliminating entertainment from the rewards program. He emphasized that inmates already faced significant restrictions on their freedom, and offering entertainment, education, and other opportunities was inconsequential. Commissioner Hardemon opined that removing certain elements would be inhumane, stressing the importance of treating incarcerated individuals with dignity despite their circumstances.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins questioned the claims of "significant improvement" in the rewards program, noting that no data had been provided to support these assertions. She requested specific metrics and concrete evidence demonstrating the program's success at other locations.
Christopher Moreno, Chief, Miami-Dade Corrections Technical Data and Analysis, reported that after conducting research and visiting correctional facilities across the State and Country, they observed significant decreases in violence. He explained that, in Leon County, there was a 35% reduction in inmate violence following the introduction of tablets. Similarly, in St. Louis County, there was a 60% reduction in violence against staff and a 40% reduction in violence against inmates after tablets were made available to inmates. Mr. Moreno offered to furnish additional statistics to the Board members.
Mayor Levine Cava added that if the Board approved the program, the vendor would monitor its progress. Additionally, staff could provide any details regarding the existing data and statistics related to violence reduction.
Mr. Matt Anderson, Sales Vice President of Securus Technologies, presented data from multiple regions demonstrating how tablet programs had improved staff efficiency and reduced violence in correctional facilities. He explained that inmates used tablets for constructive activities like education, religious practices, and legal work. While recidivism remained difficult to measure accurately, he noted growing nationwide interest in these programs for their potential to improve inmate services and facilitate re-entry. Mr. Anderson emphasized that inmates would earn these services through good behavior, and he committed to providing detailed usage data to the Board upon request.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins expressed her concern regarding the Board making a decision with insufficient metrics or data and noted her opposition of the foregoing proposed resolution.
Further discussion ensued between Chairman Gilbert III and Commissioner McGhee regarding offering free services to inmates, the need for data and metrics related to these services, and the specific types of free services to be provided.
Commissioner McGhee accepted all proposed amendments except Chairman Gilbert III's proposal to remove the entertainment allowance of one movie and two games. Commissioner Hardemon accepted Commissioner McGhee�s offer to be listed as a co-prime sponsor of this resolution.
Commissioner Higgins requested to be added as a co-sponsor of this resolution.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as amended to:
- Include a reporting requirement detailing the efficacy of the program specific to rates related to recidivism, completion of the General Education Diploma (G.E.D), violent incidents, existence of contraband, and job placement;
- Identify a source of funding for the reward program; and
- Add language to the contract that the vendor shall consent to future assignments of the Sheriff�s Office, if requested.
It was moved by Commissioner McGhee that the Board adopt the foregoing proposed resolution, as amended. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Higgins, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 10-2; Commissioners Cohen Higgins and Chairman Gilbert III voted no (Commissioner Steinberg was absent).
The amended version will be assigned Resolution No. R-220-24.

REPORT:
Commissioner Higgins expressed her concern regarding the commission selecting vendors, rather than following the procurement process. She noted she was not in support of the foregoing proposed resolution.
Commissioner Cabrera explained the intent of the legislation and provided a brief overview of how it evolved. He explained that after receiving multiple complaints regarding traffic signalization, departmental staff informed him that a Request for Proposal (RFP) had been issued in 2018, resulting in the contract being awarded to Yunex Traffic (Yunex) in 2020. Commissioner Cabrera reported that staff also outlined their concerns with Yunex, which were brought to the Chairman�s Policy Council and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee (CPCIAC) and that Yunex was subsequently given a deadline to meet compliance standards.
Commissioner Cabrera raised concerns about Yunex's contract performance, noting that millions had been spent on exceptions to the original RFP. He highlighted that Yunex had fallen short of promised deliverables, achieving only 55% system compatibility instead of the bid requirement of 75%. He also pointed out that an additional $5 million had been spent on contract oversight.
Commissioner Cabrera urged the Board to support terminating Yunex's contract, citing the company's failure to perform despite receiving millions in contract awards.
Senator Garcia raised concerns about the administration issuing two different memorandums to Board members regarding this proposed legislation. He pointed out that the conflicting alternatives presented in these memorandums led to confusion. He sought clarification on why two memorandums were released and the administration's preferred course of action.
Mr. Jimmy Morales, Chief Operations Officer, explained that the Administration had issued two memoranda: an initial one proposing Yunex's contract termination and outlining plans for internal software management, and a revised version providing additional details about implementation and installation contractors. He confirmed that a suspension notice had been sent to Yunex, noting that the Administration had lost confidence in Yunex's ability to deliver, leading to the termination recommendation.
Senator Garcia questioned why the Administration's memorandum had deviated from CPCIAC's directives, and sought clarification about the changes detailed in the second memorandum.
Mr. Morales explained that while the CPCIAC had initially suggested splitting the contract between Yunex and Horsepower, the Administration had determined this was not feasible. He noted that when this information was reported to the CPCIAC in January 2024, the Committee requested a final assessment of Yunex's compliance by March, however, by February, staff had concluded that Yunex could not deliver the software that had been due in March 2023, leading the Administration to recommend termination and potential outsourcing to a third party.
Vice Chairman Rodriguez indicated his support for the foregoing proposed resolution, explaining that selecting the second-place bidder, who had successfully run the pilot program, would avoid a lengthy new bidding process that could delay the project by several years. He emphasized that this approach did not constitute sole sourcing since the company had already participated in the original competitive bid.
Addressing comments made earlier by Senator Garcia, Chairman Gilbert III explained the procedural concerns surrounding the resolution. He noted the initial memorandum, delivered just before the CPCIAC meeting, differed significantly from the one later presented to the full Board. Chairman Gilbert III advised that while the CPCIAC had directed the department to address vendor issues by March, the Administration instead recommended termination, which the CPCIAC supported in November 2023 and voiced his concerns about the Administration's late changes.
Chairman Gilbert III clarified that selecting Horsepower, the second-place bidder and local vendor who ran the pilot program, maintained the integrity of the competitive process after Yunex's failure to deliver. He reiterated that while he supported the substance of the changes, he shared his colleagues� concerns about the Administration's timing, noting they had several months to develop their recommendation.
Mayor Levine Cava explained that while there had initially been a significant price difference between the two vendors, the administration was now prepared to negotiate a no-bid contract with Horsepower as the second bidder. She clarified that the updated memorandum, issued after resolving software issues with Yunex, suggested using multiple vendors to expedite installation. Mayor Levine Cava voiced the administration�s commitment to negotiating in good faith with Horsepower if directed by the Board, and to returning with a suitable no-bid contract proposa
Chairman Gilbert III noted that while Yunex now claimed willingness to split the installation contract, both Yunex and the Administration had rejected this same proposal when he suggested it at the November 2023 CPCIAC meeting, claiming it was not logistically feasible. Given this reversal, he stated he opposed splitting the contract.
In response to Chairman Gilbert III's comments, Mayor Levine Cava mentioned that in November 2023, there was a significant software issue, which had since been resolved. She indicated that the department now had a solution to distribute the work, whereas before, both the administration and the department had concerns about using multiple software programs.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins explained that the purpose of the procurement process was to prioritize businesses and provide the flexibility to consider the second-ranked bidder if the first one fell through, thus avoiding the need for a new bidding process. She raised concerns about a vendor being ranked second in this contract despite having the highest technical score in the initial procurement. Commissioner Cohen Higgins questioned whether Horsepower, the proposed awardee, could effectively fulfill the contract's services.
Mr. Hector Ortiz, 8105 W 20th Avenue, Hialeah, Florida assured the Board members that Horsepower could provide the service and explained that currently the company operated the pilot program which maintained 400 intersections.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins called for specific performance metrics in Horsepower's contract, noting concern over the six (6)-year delay in resolving traffic issues. She requested information about fiscal implications and proposed including a termination timeline in the contract.
Assistant County Attorney Libhaber confirmed that Commissioner Cohen Higgins' proposed termination language could be added to the "now therefore" clause, making termination effective 10 days after the resolution's adoption.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins requested that a fiscal impact statement also be included.
Commissioner Regalado expressed concern about contractors submitting low initial bids followed by multiple change orders. While noting that the Board now required review of all change orders, she questioned the RFP's adequacy and requested detailed information about the procurement process failures and contract deficiencies.
Mr. Morales clarified that the Notice to Proceed on the contract was issued in September 2020, and in September 2023, the County issued a formal Notice of Default to Yunex based on missed deadlines. He acknowledged that Horsepower was top-ranked on the technical perspective; however, they were in second place as their price was higher.
Commissioner Regalado argued that the RFP needed restructuring to include measurable compliance deadlines. She also raised concerns about accountability when the County assumed responsibility for portions of the contract work.
Chairman Gilbert III explained that while the legislation did not require a new RFP, the contract with Horsepower would incorporate the accountability measures Commissioner Regalado had requested, noting that a pilot program was already underway.
Commissioner Regalado reiterated her comments regarding the original RFP being structured incorrectly and the need to address this issue.
Chairman Gilbert III addressed Commissioner Regalado�s concerns noting benchmarks for the installation portion of the contract would be included in the contract.
Commissioner Regalado pointed out the original RFP and the contract included benchmarks, and questioned whether those benchmarks were sufficient for termination of the contract with Yunex.
Mr. Morales confirmed that while Yunex had failed to meet the original contract's benchmarks, lessons learned from this experience could be incorporated into any new agreement with Horsepower if the proposed resolution passed.
Commissioner Regalado requested information about the missed deadlines, the status of Yunex-installed traffic lights, and the accounting of funds spent.
Mr. Josiel Ferrer-Diaz, Deputy Director, Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW), explained that as part of the termination agreement, DTPW would need to buy material from Yunex to continue maintaining the traffic lights they installed, and integrate Yunex�s software with the department�s new software to continue operating the lights. He said DTPW would explore way(s) to executive savings to the project and the lights that were working would remain in place until eventual failure and replaced when needed.
Mayor Levine Cava explained that the existing work would be compatible once the software issues were resolved, and proceeding with one or more vendors would allow implementation without further delays.
Commissioner Regalado emphasized the need to quantify completed work before transitioning to a new contractor.
Mr. Ferrer-Diaz confirmed that existing work could be integrated with future project developments.
Commissioner Bermudez criticized the inefficient procurement and IT processes, noting that while Horsepower had relevant experience, the Board lacked crucial information for decision-making. He called for procurement process improvements to maintain business confidence in the County and stressed the need for consistent Administration communication.
Commissioner Bermudez also expressed concern about potential litigation and questioned the documentation of contract issues and the timing of the County Attorney's non-compliance determination. Assistant County Attorney Libhaber explained that while the Administration had communicated with the County Attorney�s Office (CAO_ about the project's lack of progress through meetings, calls, and emails, the CAO had not issued any formal written opinions or memoranda regarding the vendor's non-compliance.
Commissioner Bermudez cited Resolution R-1086-19, which required the Administration to provide red-flag reports when contracts or projects were at risk or when significant milestones were missed. He questioned why the Board had not received these mandatory reports about the contract's issues.
Mayor Levine Cava acknowledged that while DTPW had pursued remediation with Yunex, no red-flag reports had been issued, possibly because the department believed the contract was progressing. She expressed interest in improving the contracting and notification processes, noting that DTPW had ultimately recommended contract termination.
Commissioner Bermudez indicated his support for the legislation but requested that future contracts include clear metrics and that the Administration use the red-flag report process to keep the Board informed of issues. He emphasized the importance of equal treatment for all County vendors and timely information sharing with Board members.
There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution as amended to update the first condition outlined in the �Now, therefore� clause to read as follows: �(1) immediately terminate�.

REPORT:
Commissioner Higgins requested a report on the effectiveness of her online Golden Passport legislation and suggested automatically mailing EASY Cards to residents when they turned 65, rather than requiring in-person applications. She asked staff to review these processes with the new Information Technology Director.
Commissioner Bermudez expressed concern as to whether the department would be able to keep track of ridership numbers if an individual presented a driver�s license or Florida identification rather than a Golden Passport EASY Card.
Mr. Jimmy Morales, Chief Operations Officer, indicated that the Administration would present an alternative to drivers checking licenses, including a system for tracking ridership.
There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution as presented.

REPORT:
Assistant County Attorney (ACA) Monica Rizo read the following motion into the record on behalf of Commissioner Hardemon:
�The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 budget for the Miami-Dade Economic Advocacy Trust (MDEAT) includes an allocation of $1.8 million to disperse 36 loans of up to $50,000 each to low-income homeowners in targeted urban areas with much-needed capital repairs to their homes. However, due to overwhelming demand and an urgent need to assist homeowners, the MDEAT project projects that it will exhaust this allocation by the end of March 2024 and requires an additional $2 million to facilitate an estimated 40 additional loans of up to $50,000 each through the end of the fiscal year.
In response to Senator Garcia�s inquiry regarding the amount of money in the Documentary Surtax Fund and the impact, ACA Rizo explained that $2 million would be moved from MDEAT's documentary surtax reserves of $4.479 million to fund the Loan Assistance Program.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins asked how many of the 36 loans and the $1.8 million had been distributed as of March 19, 2024.
Mr. William Diggs, MDEAT Executive Director, reported that as of March 16, 2024, the entire $2 million had been committed through processed loans and pending applications. He noted that demand was expected to exceed this amount in the next fiscal year, as the program had successfully served residents below 50% of area median income who did not qualify for other home improvement assistance.
Senator Garcia requested data on loan distribution and locations.
Mr. Diggs confirmed that MDEAT's Board received monthly reports with detailed recipient information, noting the program was marketed through websites, Instagram, and weekly countywide seminars.
In response to Senator Garcia�s inquiry regarding the number of loans that were distributed in Commission District 13, Mr. Diggs explained that while MDEAT had distributed loans throughout the County he was unsure of the numbers in each district.
Commissioner Garcia requested Mr. Diggs provide him with a report delineating the number of loans distributed in District 13 and the outreach being done.
Mr. Diggs reported that the loan program, one of MDEAT's four programs, had achieved success across the County, with approximately 85 percent of down payment assistance funds distributed evenly throughout all districts, including strong performance in District 13.
Senator Garcia stated he was unaware of any outreach being done through his office.
Commissioner Regalado supported using the funds immediately, noting that documentary stamp revenues were strong and projected to remain robust for the next few years.
Commissioner Bastien requested Mr. Diggs provide her with a report delineating the number of loans distributed in District 2.
Mr. Diggs stated he would submit the reports to Commissioner Bastien�s office.
Senator Garcia inquired about MDEAT's finances.
Mr. Diggs explained the agency held over $16 million in contingency and carryover funds.
Senator Garcia questioned the necessity of allocating an additional $2 million given the financial standing.
Mr. Diggs explained that MDEAT's charter required the Commission�s approval for any budget additions.
It was moved by Commissioner Hardemon to amend the FY 2023-24 budget to move $2 million with documented Surtax Funds that are currently in the reserves of the MDEAT budget from these reserves to be used for and to be added to the Homeowner Loan and Assistance expenditure line item of MDEAT�s budget in order to provide additional loans to eligible homeowners. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Regalado and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 11-0 (Vice Chairman Rodriguez and Commissioner Steinberg was absent).
