SPECIAL PERFORMANCE BY THE NEW CANON CHAMBER COLLECTIVE
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
The meeting commenced with musical performances by the New Canon Chamber Collective, whom Chairman Gilbert III recognized for their extraordinary talent and contribution to the community's cultural affairs.
Commissioner McGhee presented a historical overview of slavery in America, beginning with the arrival of the White Lion ship in 1619, which preceded the Mayflower and carried 20-25 enslaved Africans. He noted that President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation did not reach Texas until June 19th, 1865, establishing the significance of Juneteenth.
Commissioner McGhee introduced Mr. Wilbert Bell, recognizing the remarkable historical significance of his family lineage. He pointed out that Mr. Bell's father, Cornelius Bell, was born in 1865 in Georgia before slavery was abolished, making Mr. Bell just one generation removed from slavery. He presented a proclamation declaring June 18, 2024, as "Cornelius Bell Family Day" in Miami-Dade County.
Mayor Levine Cava emphasized the extraordinary nature of this historical connection, noting that CNN had featured Mr. Bell's story and that he may represent the only family in the Country with such direct ties to the first generation out of slavery. She praised Mr. Bell's leadership, kindness, and perseverance in representing the best of American democracy and freedom.
Chairman Gilbert III reinforced the importance of studying history, including its difficult chapters, to prevent repeating past mistakes. He emphasized that Mr. Bell represented just one generation removed from the injustices of slavery, making this history immediate and relevant rather than distant.
Mr. Bell expressed gratitude for the recognition and shared personal anecdotes about his family's legacy, his service as a Vietnam veteran, and his 81 years of residence in Perrine. He credited his life philosophy of treating people as he wished to be treated and his faith as guiding principles throughout his life.

CITIZENS PRESENTATION BY THE SOUTH FLORIDA REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL ON THEIR SOUTH FLORIDA MILITARY INSTALLATION RESILIENCE REVIEW
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Ms. Isabel Cosio Carvallo, Executive Director, South Florida Regional Planning Council, explained that the Defense Alliance had approached the organization following a 2019 Department of Defense report identifying resilience-challenged installations worldwide which identified three (3) of South Florida's four (4) military installations among the top 10 most vulnerable facilities.
Ms. Christina Miskis, Principal Planner, reported that the military sector contributed $16.1 billion annually to the regional economy across four counties, supporting 155,000 jobs. She explained that the study examined four key military installations: Homestead Air Reserve Base, U.S. Army Garrison Southcom, Naval Air Station Key West, and the South Florida Ocean Measurement Facility, and found that these bases were vulnerable to environmental challenges like flooding, rising sea levels, and severe weather events. To address these vulnerabilities, the study recommended improvements to transportation infrastructure, upgrades to drinking water systems, development of alternative energy sources, and construction of resilience hubs. Ms. Miskis noted that completing this study opened access to additional Department of Defense funding for community resilience improvements.
Mayor Levine Cava emphasized the critical economic and security importance of maintaining military installations, with $16.1 billion and 155,000 jobs at stake. She confirmed her administration's active engagement in resilience initiatives to preserve federal military operations.

REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE HEARD AS PROVIDED IN RULE 6.06
|
| |
| |
REPORT:
Chairman Gilbert III opened the reasonable opportunity for the public to speak, and the following persons appeared before the Board:
1. Mr. Francisco Petrirena, 600 Biltmore Way, Coral Gables, Florida, appeared on behalf of the City of Miami (City) and explained that the item involved ongoing efforts to resolve conflicts between the City and Miami-Dade County (County) regarding the Rapid Transit Zones (RTZ), with amendments and expansion provisions being pursued pursuant to Chapter 164 of the Florida Statutes while related litigation remained pending.
Mr. Petrirena detailed that the proposed item would amend RTZ requirements in ways that directly affected properties within the City�s boundaries by mandating that developments containing more than four (4) units provide 12.5 percent of their units as workforce housing for households earning up to 120 percent of Area Median Income (AMI) within the metro-mover subzone. As an alternative, developers could elect to pay monetary contributions into the County's affordable housing trust fund rather than constructing actual workforce housing units.
Mr. Petrirena argued that these RTZ and expansion provisions preempted the City�s zoning requirements without providing opportunities for municipal review and input, thereby violating the City's jurisdictional authority over planning, zoning, subdivision, and building functions. He cited Section 6.02 of the County charter, which specifically provided that individual municipalities could establish higher zoning standards and regulations than those adopted by the Board in order to preserve their individual character and standards for their citizens. He informed the Board that the City and County were currently engaged in formal conflict resolution processes under the Florida Governmental Conflict Resolution Act in accordance with Chapter 164 of the Florida Statutes, and that related litigation was pending in the courts. Based on these ongoing legal proceedings, he respectfully requested that the Board either continue or deny the agenda item at that time.
Chairman Gilbert III responded that while the City could continue rescheduling meetings, the Board would continue approving transit zone items.
2. Pastor Patrick C. Jackson opposed reappointing Elsie Hamler to the Small Business Enterprise Construction Advisory Board (15C1).
3. Ms. Hattie Walker, 1165 NW 109 Street, Miami, Florida, described service disparities between east and west sides of District 2, particularly regarding flooding and infrastructure problems.
4. Mr. Munir Ingram, 1705 NW 107 Street, Miami, Florida, appeared on behalf of the Little River Farms Homeowner Association, discussed Everglades Restoration Project coordination needs and funding disparities affecting Little River and Arcola Parks compared to recent $25 million Amelia Earhart park improvements.
Mr. Ingram discussed the Everglades Restoration Project and noted that there were several ongoing developments affecting his community. He mentioned a current study being conducted by the South Florida Water Management District examining flood level protection services provided in his area. He explained that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Census Bureau had designated his community as a low-impact zone, which paradoxically meant it was high-impact for not receiving equitable funding allocations for parks and recreation, stormwater infrastructure, and road infrastructure improvements.
Mr. Ingram noted that Amelia Earhart Park had recently received a $25 million grant for improvements while Little River Park and Arcola Park in his area remained underutilized and underfunded. He questioned the status of a lease agreement between Miami-Dade County and the Boys and Girls Club of Miami-Dade County for facilities located at 10915 Northwest 14th Avenue, which he identified as county parkland that should be serving his community more effectively.
When Chairman Gilbert III redirected him to focus on agenda-related items, Mr. Ingram connected his concerns to the Connect to Protect Program for Water and Sewer infrastructure improvements. He explained that the County had been working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on water infrastructure studies and improvements designed to address flooding and water quality issues in his area.
Mr. Ingram emphasized that his community currently contained natural reserves and preservation areas with old growth trees, but he saw a need for better coordinated efforts between new development projects and the Everglades Restoration Project. He advocated for alignment between these various initiatives to reduce flooding while improving overall quality of life for veterans and senior citizens residing in his community.
5. Madame Renita Holmes, (address withheld) received permission to address the Board after requesting reasonable accommodation due to mobility limitations. She criticized inadequate public access to agenda information and insufficient time for meaningful public participation, particularly for individuals with disabilities.
Seeing no one else appear wishing to speak, Chairman Gilbert III closed the reasonable opportunity to be heard.

REPORT:
CA Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed resolution into the record.
Chairman Gilbert III opened the public hearing, and the following person appeared before the Board:
Mr. John Korvick, 752 NE 79 Street, Miami, Florida, appeared on behalf of Dock and Marine Construction Corporation, and advised that his company was pursuing replacement of a deteriorating seawall at the property identified as 480 Arvida Parkway. He explained that the existing seawall was in poor condition and that an engineer's letter had been submitted supporting the replacement project. Mr. Korvick detailed that the current approach involved installing new seawall panels without removing the existing king piles that were currently in place, which would require pushing the new panels somewhat further outside the normally allowed standard distance from shore. He testified that if the existing king piles were removed as part of the replacement process, the upland infrastructure including pools, patios, and landscaping would most likely collapse into the water, creating significant property damage and safety hazards. Therefore, the engineer had proposed and endorsed installing new seawall panels in front of the current seawall structure, which necessitated the permit modification being requested.
Chairman Gilbert III closed the public hearing after no one else appeared wishing to speak.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board voted on the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

STATUS OF APPOINTMENTS TO THE GREATER MIAMI EXPRESSWAY AGENCY
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
CA Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing discussion item into the record.
Chairman Gilbert III provided an overview of the ongoing challenges in identifying qualified candidates for the County's appointment to the GMX Board. He reported that despite running newspaper advertisements three (3) separate times at a cost of approximately $4,350 per publication cycle, the County had not received a single qualified candidate application.
Chairman Gilbert III questioned whether it represented the will of the Board to continue paying for expensive newspaper advertisements that had consistently failed to produce any viable candidates noting that each advertisement cycle represented a significant budget expenditure from County funds without generating any positive results toward filling the required appointment. He explained that the process had proven difficult due to the highly restrictive criteria outlined in Florida Statutes (F.S.) governing County appointments to the GMX board. Chairman Gilbert III encouraged Board members to submit names directly if they knew individuals who might meet the qualification requirements, noting that independent of any current litigation involving the County and GMX, the Board's established position remained supportive of making an appointment when a qualified candidate could be identified.
Commissioner Steinberg requested that the County Attorney read the specific statutory parameters and qualification requirements for the County's GMX appointment to ensure full Board and public understanding of the challenges involved.
ACA Valdez read the Florida Statute requirements into the record, explaining that eligible individuals must reside within Unincorporated portions of the County located within 15 miles of areas containing the highest concentrations of GMX toll roads. The Statute also mandated that individuals could not have held any elected or appointed office in the County during the previous two (2) years. Additionally, the statute required that appointed individuals reflect the State's interest in the transportation sector and represent the intent, duties, and purposes of GMX. Candidates must possess at least three (3) years of professional experience in one (1) or more of the following areas: finance, land use planning, tolling industry, or transportation engineering.
Additional disqualifications included: individuals who had served as members of the governing body or as employees of the Miami-Dade Expressway (MDEX) Authority on or after July 1, 2009; registered lobbyists; individuals who currently represented or had represented or lobbied GMX formerly known as Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX) during the previous four (4) years; individuals who had conducted business or been employed by companies that had done business with GMX or MDX during the previous four (4) years; and individuals who had been employees of GMX during the previous two (2) years.
Commissioner Bermudez suggested that Board members who represented districts containing Unincorporated Municipal Service Areas (UMSA) could utilize social media platforms to reach potential candidates, using the statutory requirements as the basis for targeted outreach to residents who might qualify for appointment.
Chairman Gilbert III agreed with Commissioner Bermudez's suggestion and confirmed that County staff would develop appropriate graphics containing the qualification criteria for distribution through commissioners' individual social media accounts to maximize outreach effectiveness.
Commissioner Steinberg requested clarification regarding how the Board would define and evaluate the professional experience requirements, particularly the three-year minimum in specified fields, questioning whether general financial experience such as personal tax preparation would qualify or whether more specialized professional credentials would be required.
Chairman Gilbert III responded that the Board would serve as the initial determining body for evaluating candidate qualifications based on the statutory requirements. He confirmed that County staff would prepare social media graphics for commissioner distribution and announced that no additional newspaper advertisements would be purchased unless the Board specifically requested their resumption. Chairman Gilbert III encouraged his colleagues to submit candidate names directly to his office for preliminary evaluation and consideration.

ANNUAL JOINT MEETING OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH TRUST AND BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
The Board convened its annual Joint meeting with the Public Health Trust (PHT) Board to receive Jackson Health System's (JHS) annual report.
Mr. Walter Richardson, PHT Chairman, appeared before the Board alongside other Public Health Trust leadership to deliver opening remarks about JHS continued achievements. He provided background on his several years of service on the PHT Board and expressed his anticipation for the annual joint meeting, which he viewed as both an opportunity to connect with County Commissioners and a demonstration of shared responsibility as stewards of public healthcare dollars.
Mr. Richardson emphasized the dual purpose of the annual presentation: first, to demonstrate accountability to taxpayer owners of the health system by showing responsible stewardship of public funds; and second, to highlight the life-saving work being performed at Jackson while outlining the system's vision for the future. He expressed pride in serving on the PHT Board and noted that Jackson had evolved into one of the nation's leading academic public health systems under exemplary leadership.
Mr. Richardson acknowledged that his term as PHT Chairman was concluding and thanked his fellow board members for their professionalism, expertise, and passion for healthcare excellence. Mr. Richardson thanked the BCC for their continued support and partnership, noting that commissioner backing remained essential to Jackson's continued progress and success.
Mr. Carlos Migoya, JHS President and Chief Executive Officer, appeared before the Board and thanked the commissioners and the administration for the opportunity to present the annual report. He began by recognizing the outgoing Chairman Richardson's exceptional service and community dedication.
Mr. Migoya detailed his 30-year partnership with Mr. Richardson, dating back to their collaboration on Hurricane Andrew recovery efforts in 1992. He praised Mr. Richardson's integrity, effectiveness, and profound impact on South Dade and Miami-Dade County's Black community through his pastoral leadership at Sweet Home Missionary Baptist Church, and his service as a chaplain for Miami-Dade Police, providing support to law enforcement during crisis situations. He credited Mr. Richardson as one of Jackson's greatest advocates during the 2013 general obligation bond campaign for facility renovations, noting his unique understanding of Jackson's community role and deep institutional commitment.
Mr. Migoya described Mr. Richardson's board chairmanship over the previous two (2) years as characterized by professionalism, respect, and efficiency, making him an invaluable partner to the executive leadership team. He shared a video presentation showcasing JHS� achievements, capabilities, and future vision. Following the video presentation, he provided detailed commentary on Jackson's growth, challenges, and strategic direction. Mr. Migoya reported that Jackson had experienced remarkable transformation during his 13-year tenure, growing substantially in both size and reputation while maintaining core mission commitments.
Mr. Migoya emphasized that Jackson was no longer viewed as a "last resort" healthcare facility, but had transformed into a destination healthcare provider that patients actively chose for their medical needs. This transformation had been achieved through strategic investments in new buildings, innovative medical programs, and improved accessibility that had significantly increased community trust and recognition both locally and regionally.
Mr. Migoya credited Jackson's 15,000 dedicated and passionate employees as the most critical factor in the system's success, noting that management took every opportunity to recognize and support staff contributions. He reported continued collaborative relationships with union partners including the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), and the Committee of Interns and Residents (CIR). Mr. Migoya noted that Jackson was currently engaged in reopener negotiations with unions regarding cost-of-living adjustments and thanked union leadership including Martha Baker, Vicki Gonzalez, and William Orange for their collaborative approach.
Mr. Migoya announced a workforce housing initiative that Jackson was implementing on the Jackson Memorial Center campus. The project involved demolishing the existing Jackson Medical Towers and constructing large-scale apartment buildings on that site, which was strategically located adjacent to the recently renamed UHealth Jackson Memorial Metrorail station. He explained that Jackson employees would receive priority for renting apartments in the new development, with at least half of the units specifically reserved for workers earning between 60 and 120 percent of the AMI. This initiative represented both an investment in employee welfare and a practical solution to the County's escalating housing costs.
Mr. Migoya acknowledged that while Jackson remained in a significantly stronger position than when he had begun his tenure in 2011, Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 had presented substantial financial challenges. He noted that patient volume, which had grown rapidly following the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, had slowed considerably in several important service areas, particularly organ transplant programs. However, he identified expense management as Jackson's primary challenge, with inflation causing dramatic increases in costs for supplies, equipment, and medications.
Mr. Migoya noted that Jackson had provided substantial salary increases to most employees during the previous year, which had been both necessary for recruitment and retention of quality healthcare professionals and the right decision ethically. However, these increases had created permanent impacts on Jackson's budget structure that required ongoing management attention.
Mr. Migoya emphasized Jackson's unwavering commitment to providing high-quality care to all patients regardless of their background or ability to pay, though he noted this commitment comes at a significant financial cost to the health system. He explained that Jackson's role as Florida's largest provider of uncompensated care makes it impossible to build substantial financial reserves, regardless of patient volume, facility expansion, or surgeon recruitment, since the system must continually reinvest in its operations.
Mr. Migoya reported strong performance as FY 2024 neared its end, highlighting system-wide efforts by healthcare teams to reduce waste, improve efficiency, and optimize patient care while addressing financial pressures and building long-term stability. He reaffirmed his commitment to transparency with both boards, acknowledging current economic challenges while noting that Jackson's facilities remained busier than ever with patients who trusted the institution.
Drawing on Jackson's 13-year track record of ending each FY with positive results under his leadership, Mr. Migoya expressed confidence that FY 2024 would continue this pattern of fiscal responsibility and operational success.
Commissioner Higgins complimented the innovative approach to workforce housing development and noted the numerous conversations she had conducted with Mr. Migoya over the years regarding the County's affordable housing crisis. She commended Jackson's creative utilization of premium campus space to provide practical housing solutions for employees who worked at the medical center and acknowledged that while some medical professionals earned substantial compensation, successful healthcare facility operations required workers across all income levels and job categories.
Commissioner Regalado echoed Commissioner Higgins' comments and thanked Mr. Migoya for Jackson's excellent work providing healthcare services within Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation facilities. She noted that despite recent negative media coverage regarding corrections healthcare, Jackson's performance in that challenging environment had been exemplary.
Commissioner Bastien joined her colleagues in praising Jackson and the PHT for their transformation efforts. Drawing upon her 13 years of personal experience working at Jackson, she expressed pride in the changes that had been achieved. Commissioner Bastien credited work that had begun under the leadership of the late Ira Clark, where she had participated as part of teams that collaborated with community entities to improve Jackson's public image and community perception. She praised the teamwork approach that had successfully developed Jackson into a first-class medical center which appropriately served Miami's role as the capital of Latin America.
Mayor Levine Cava thanked both Mr. Richardson and Mr. Migoya for their exceptional partnership through major challenges that had confronted the community over recent years. She noted that Jackson leadership had consistently risen to meet difficult situations, including the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing corrections healthcare challenges. Mayor Levine Cava characterized the partnership as respectful, collaborative, and effective in addressing complex problems, describing their approach to problem-solving as both professional and joyful despite the serious nature of the issues involved.

REPORT:
Commissioner Gonzalez voiced his support for the foregoing proposed legislation but questioned whether electric buses could operate safely in flooding conditions, especially after recent heavy rainfall. He noted that some jurisdictions had water depth restrictions for buses and asked if electric buses had different flood capabilities than diesel buses.
Mayor Levine Cava responded that the county's transit operations continued throughout the recent flooding, praising the transportation team's professionalism and capabilities.
In response to Commissioner Gonzalez�s request for clarity regarding the operational abilities of the buses, Mr. Cleckley confirmed that buses had operational procedures limiting them to eight (8) inches of water, though the buses themselves had 14-inch ground clearance allowing deeper water operation. He explained that operational conditions affected battery performance and industry standards existed regarding electric bus mileage capabilities between charging cycles. Mr. Cleckley noted differences in performance specifications between 40-foot Proterra buses, which achieved approximately 180 miles between charges, and 60-foot New Flyer buses, which had different operational parameters.
Mr. Sean Adgerson, Deputy Director of DTPW Operations, provided detailed technical information to address Commissioner Gonzalez's questions. He reported that New Flyer buses achieved approximately 175 miles between charging cycles, though actual performance varied based on operational conditions including external temperature, passenger load factors, traffic patterns, and other variables. Mr. Adgerson confirmed that water exposure did not significantly affect the charging systems or electrical components.
Commissioner Gonzalez asked specific questions about charging procedures, particularly whether buses charged from overhead connections to prevent potential flood damage to electrical systems.
Mr. Adgerson explained that New Flyer buses utilized overhead pantograph charging systems with most battery components located in upper sections of the vehicles, while some batteries remained in engine compartments. For Proterra buses, plug-in charging systems were positioned well above potential flood levels at heights exceeding 20 inches, making them unlikely to experience problems unless water levels exceeded two feet, which would indicate broader infrastructure challenges affecting bus storage facilities.
Commissioner Gonzalez requested confirmation that buses had remained operational during flooding conditions and had functioned properly during the previous week's weather events.
Mr. Adgerson confirmed that buses had continued operating during recent flooding. He explained that while the department�s Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) limited operations to eight (8) inches of water depth for safety reasons, the buses themselves maintained 14-inch ground clearance from the bottom of the vehicle to the road surface. Mr. Adgerson advised that testing had demonstrated that buses could successfully operate in up to 16 inches of water depth, though the eight-inch operational limit provided appropriate safety margins for regular service.
Commissioner Regalado supported the financing arrangements while acknowledging that electric bus procurement had challenged the Board, though members proceeded based on environmental and operational benefits. Despite her support, she noted that electric bus batteries carried six-year warranties but had 12-year operational lifespans, emphasizing that all stakeholders needed to understand this timeline gap and its budget implications. Commissioner Regalado stated her preference for including maintenance provisions in initial contracts rather than handling them through separate future agreements.
Given the relatively new technology, Commissioner Regalado anticipated the County would need to develop expertise in battery disposal, life extension, charging protocols, maintenance procedures, and system resets as experience accumulated. She stressed that substantial battery replacement costs required advance planning rather than reactive budgeting.
Mayor Levine Cava noted that wind speed limitations also affected bus operations during severe weather and offered to provide Board members with comprehensive briefings on complete operational parameters and safety protocols.
Chairman Gilbert III thanked the presenters for their detailed technical information.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.

REPORT:
Commissioner Gonzalez expressed his desire to ensure that residents of Commission District 11 could participate effectively in both the solar program outlined in the current resolution and related programs described in the foregoing item. He noted that he had spoken with staff from the Office of Resilience who had provided statistical information showing that from 2017 to 2023, only nine (9) households in District 11 had installed solar panel systems through the Solarize Cooperatives program.
Commissioner Gonzalez noted that Solar United Neighbors had completed outreach efforts to approximately 2,600 homes throughout the County and expressed his commitment to ensure that program benefits reached residents in every commission district. He requested expanded efforts to provide solar energy opportunities to District 11 residents who might benefit from these programs.
Chairman Gilbert III voiced concerns about fraudulent solar panel solicitation activities that had come to his attention. He reported receiving a recent telephone call from a representative claiming to work for "Green Networks," Chairman Gilbert III stated that the caller had claimed to be working with the County to install solar panels at no cost to homeowners, which had raised immediate concerns about misrepresentation of County partnerships.
Chairman Gilbert III noted that when he had requested website information to verify the company's legitimacy, the caller immediately disconnected the call. He questioned whether such companies could legally claim partnership with the County and make false statements about cost-free installations.
Commissioner Cabrera confirmed that companies could not legally make claims about cost-free installations because such representations were factually incorrect, as homeowners would ultimately bear costs through various financing mechanisms. He also confirmed that businesses could not falsely claim official partnerships or working relationships with the County.
Chairman Gilbert III inquired about appropriate procedures for reporting such fraudulent business practices to County authorities.
Mayor Levine Cava responded that RER operated a Consumer Protection Division that served as the appropriate venue for filing complaints about deceptive business practices related to solar panel sales and similar consumer issues.
Ms. Gomez provided additional details about the complaint and investigation process. She explained that RER regularly received referrals regarding written correspondence and marketing materials that many households received from businesses that misrepresented connections to County government. Ms. Gomez noted that the CAO collaborated with the department to issue cease and desist letters to offending businesses and pursue appropriate legal action when circumstances warranted enforcement measures.
Commissioner Cabrera referenced legislation that included penalty provisions enabling the CAO to issue cease and desist letters and potentially debar businesses from participating in County programs when they engaged in false advertising or misrepresentation of government partnerships.
Chairman Gilbert III emphasized the importance of monitoring marketing materials that deliberately mimic County colors, logos, and design elements to falsely suggest official government endorsement. He noted that he had received misleading materials since the passage of consumer protection ordinances, with businesses continuing to attempt creating visual associations with county government through deceptive marketing practices.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.

RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE COUNTY MAYOR OR COUNTY MAYOR�S DESIGNEE TO ESTABLISH A THREE MEMBER CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT BOARD IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 30.61, FLORIDA STATUTES, AS AMENDED BY HOUSE BILL 601; PROVIDING DUTIES, FUNCTIONS, AND SUNSET PERIOD OF SUCH OVERSIGHT BOARD
|
Adopted
Resolution R-560-24
Mover: Anthony Rodriguez
Seconder: Oliver G. Gilbert, III
Vote: 10 - 0
Absent: Cabrera , Cohen Higgins , Garc�a
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Bermudez questioned the intent and purpose of establishing an oversight board related to sheriff functions, noting public sensitivity regarding oversight mechanisms and law enforcement.
Vice Chairman Rodriguez explained that the motion represented a simple administrative extension of the existing Independent Civilian Panel through the end of the fiscal year to allow completion of outstanding business and financial reconciliation. He noted that Florida Statute required the existing board to sunset on July 1, necessitating formal recreation rather than simple extension, making this a procedural requirement rather than a policy innovation.
Commissioner Regalado supported the motion as necessary for compliance with state law requirements. She noted the upcoming election of a sheriff and emphasized that this motion provided necessary clarity during the transition period without involving County budget implications.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing motion, as presented.

RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE COUNTY MAYOR OR COUNTY MAYOR�S DESIGNEE TO NEGOTIATE AND BRING AN ITEM TO THIS BOARD FOR APPROVAL TO PURCHASE REAL PROPERTY IDENTIFIED BY FOLIO NUMBER 01-3207-031-0320, LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 1020 NE 72ND TERRACE AND 7235 BELLE MEADE BOULEVARD, FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING FLOOD MITIGATION AND AS A PARK; AND, IN THE ALTERNATIVE, IF THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION IS UNABLE TO COMPLY WITH THE DIRECTIVE, DIRECTING THE COUNTY MAYOR OR COUNTY MAYOR�S DESIGNEE TO REQUEST AUTHORIZATION FROM THIS BOARD TO ACQUIRE SAID PROPERTY BY EXERCISING THE POWER OF EMINENT DOMAIN, PROVIDED THAT SUCH ACQUISITION MEETS ALL LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND NECESSARY DUE DILIGENCE
|
Adopted
Resolution R-561-24
Mover: Keon Hardemon
Seconder: Oliver G. Gilbert, III
Vote: 10 - 1
No: Higgins
Absent: Cohen Higgins , Garc�a

REPORT:
Commissioner Hardemon explained that there was a property was strategically located in an area experiencing severe flooding problems along the 76th Street waterway corridor. The 28,569 square foot property was currently vacant and available for purchase, with unique characteristics that made it ideal for flood mitigation purposes. He noted that the property had narrow frontage of approximately 20 feet compared to neighboring properties with 50-foot or greater street access, making private development challenging while providing excellent opportunities for public flood mitigation infrastructure and park development in an area that lacked designated recreational facilities.
Commissioner Bastien inquired about the property's size and asking price.
Commissioner Hardemon provided the square footage but noted that he had not yet inquired about the specific asking price, as the motion was designed to authorize negotiation processes rather than commit to pre-determined financial terms.
Chairman Gilbert III cautioned the Board members about making detailed public statements that might affect upcoming property negotiations, noting that discussions could potentially influence property values or negotiation positions. He explained that the key metric would be comparing any requested purchase price against eminent domain valuation procedures.
Mayor Levine Cava requested that the administration be allowed adequate time to evaluate the property acquisition proposal, noting that staff had not previously reviewed this specific property or conducted preliminary assessments of its suitability for the proposed purposes.
Commissioner Hardemon emphasized the urgency of the situation due to ongoing flooding problems in the area and the current availability of the property for purchase. He expressed concern that delays might result in another party purchasing the property before County action could be completed, potentially requiring more expensive acquisition procedures or losing the opportunity entirely.
Commissioner Higgins stated her intent to vote against the motion due to concerns about unknown financial implications for park development, environmental remediation, wetlands considerations, and other factors that had not been adequately evaluated. She noted that without understanding the complete scope and cost of the proposed project, she could not support authorization for the expenditure.
Commissioner Hardemon responded that Florida Inland Navigation District grants consistently provided funding opportunities for waterfront park and recreation space development, making this location particularly well-suited for grant applications. He noted that the County had committed substantial resources to flood mitigation initiatives, and this property's waterfront location made it an ideal site for permanent flood mitigation infrastructure that could serve the broader community while addressing chronic flooding problems.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing motion, as presented.
