REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE HEARD AS PROVIDED IN RULE 6.06
|
| |
| |
REPORT:
Chairman Gilbert III opened the reasonable opportunity to be heard and the following persons appeared before the Board:
Chief Pete Delgado, West Miami Police Department and President of the Miami-Dade County Association of Chiefs of Police, requesting resolution on Agenda Item 11A4 regarding the Mutual Aid Agreement. He acknowledged the presence of association members and executive board, stating Attorney Joe Natiello would speak on their behalf.
Mr. Joe Natiello, representing the Miami-Dade County Association of Chiefs of Police, requested deferral of the proposed Mutual Aid Agreement (Agenda Item 11A4) and outlined five specific concerns. He stated that municipal police chiefs sought the opportunity to be full parties to negotiations rather than having the agreement imposed upon them. Mr. Natiello argued that removing decision-making authority from directors to elected officials would slow down inter-agency assistance. He requested establishment of set fee schedules to enable municipal budgeting and planning, and sought clarification on what events would trigger cost-bearing versus free assistance, noting the current proposal lacked clarity. Finally, he questioned the ten-year agreement term given the pending Sheriff transition in January 2025, preferring an agreement that would operate until a new Sheriff could negotiate directly with municipalities. Natiello emphasized that municipalities regularly negotiated mutual aid agreements without issues because all parties focused on the county's best interests, and requested the same collaborative opportunity.
Pursuant to Chairman Gilbert III�s request, Mr. Natiello noted the following chiefs in attendance:
- Chief Delgado, President, Miami-Dade County Association of Chiefs of Police;
- Chief Wayne Jones, City of Miami Beach;
- Chief Michael Bentolila, City of Aventura;
- Chief Jason Cohen, City of Pinecrest;
- Deputy Chief Sam Bejar, North Bay Village;
- Chief Raleigh Flowers, Bal Harbor Village;
- Major Jaime Chalem, City of Aventura Police Department;
- Chief Lindsley Noel, Bay Harbor Islands;
- Chief Edward Santiago, Sunny Isles Beach; and
- Chief Rudy Herbello, Town of Golden Beach.
Mr. Carl Bey addressed the Board regarding the Model City Community Advisory Committee, stating the Board had previously supported recreating this committee to join the other 15 countywide community advisory boards. Those boards had compiled a budget as requested and submitted it to the Miami-Dade Economic Advocacy Trust with a copy sent to commissioners in 2022. However, no action was taken as no one sponsored the resolution. The recommendation was now known in the community as "Our Fair Share." Mr. Bey requested a commissioner sponsor the Our Fair Share resolution.
Mr. Gerald Reed, Jr., 23 NE 59th Terrace, Miami, Florida ppeared regarding Agenda Items 3A4 and 8K1, advocating for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for five organizations that applied but did not receive funding: Buddy System MIA Inc., Lumifyd ICORC Inc., Sweet Home Missionary Baptist Church, The Association for Development of the Exceptional Inc., and THE START Program. He requested the Board consider these organizations for discretionary funding to maintain fairness in the CDBG process.
There being no one else appearing wishing to speak, Vice Chairman Rodriguez closed the reasonable opportunity to be heard.
Senator Garcia requested point of personal privilege to recognize Jackie Viana, District Supervisor for Miami-Dade County Public Schools' Department of Social Science, along with 22 Miami-Dade elementary and middle school teachers and three (3) members participating in the Civic Empowers All Students program. This one-week summer institute program taught participants about the United States Constitution, culminating in mock congressional hearings using the "We the People" curriculum from the Center for Civic Education.

REPORT:
CA Bonzon-Keenan read the title of foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.
Vice Chairman Rodriguez opened the public hearing and seeing no one come forward, closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Regalado spoke against the proposal, stating that a master plan for solid waste had not been prepared and the Board had not made decisions leading to this point. She emphasized the importance of addressing solid waste issues and determining long-term goals before approving automatic fee increases. She noted the Board's obligation to cities and the Unincorporated Municipal Service Area to ensure optimal service delivery. Commissioner Regalado pointed out that no decision had been made regarding an incinerator and the Board needed to consider landfill management, various waste components, and feasibility studies. She expressed understanding about administrative delays in providing deadline information but stated she would not support increases while issues remained unresolved. Commissioner Regalado argued that residents should not pay more for services that had not improved and indicated she would vote against the item despite appreciating the work done.
Commissioner Higgins acknowledged the County was borrowing money from funds intended as collateral for the waste-to-energy facility. She agreed many strategic questions remained unanswered but emphasized that the Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) could not continue operating in bankruptcy. Commissioner Higgins mentioned the County faced difficult adjustments related to constitutional officers that would affect millage rates. She identified both solid waste funding and post-transition operational funding as critical issues requiring resolution.
Chairman Gilbert III expressed appreciation for the Mayor's recommendations and Commissioner Regalado's perspective. He explained the proposed ordinance would make the solid waste system financially whole and provide adequate operational funding. Chairman Gilbert III calculated that the proposed $150 increase would cost $1.44 per pickup and argued the Board should stabilize the system to avoid annual political decisions. He stated the Board could not responsibly consider relocating the waste-to-energy incinerator while operating an financially unstable system. Chairman Gilbert III emphasized making the system whole first, then establishing increases based on operational requirements and system design decisions. He thanked Clerk Juan Fernandez-Barquin for forwarding public emails on the issue and confirmed he had read all correspondence.
ACA Michael Mastrucci read Chairman Gilbert's III motion to amend the ordinance noting the amendment changed the residential non-ad valorem assessment rate from $547 to $697 per household unit for fiscal year 2024-2025. For subsequent years, the amendment directed the County Mayor to include Consumer Price Index adjustments in annual rate proposals, subject to Board approval and Florida Statutes compliance.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins seconded the motion and inquired about implications of maintaining flat rates versus increasing rates to break-even levels.
Mr. David Clodfelter explained the $150 increase would close the $39 million collection gap and potentially address future year shortfalls.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins noted the Board would soon vote on a waste-to-energy facility costing over $1 billion funded through bond issuance. She expressed concern about the County's financial position when applying for facility financing and asked about Disposal Fund reserves.
Mr. Clodfelter reported unrestricted reserves totaled approximately $200 million. He explained financing requirements would include demonstrating sufficient coverage through operational funding and revenue
streams. Mr. Clodfelter noted solid waste collections represented over fifty percent of disposal customers and significantly impacted coverage calculations. He emphasized the need for multi-year forecasts showing debt repayment ability and operational coverage. Mr. Clodfelter stated staff would return with specific project details and dollar amounts when seeking financing.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins observed recent years of borrowing from Disposal Funds to close gaps and questioned how this would affect the County's position when applying for $1.5 billion financing, potentially resulting in higher interest rates. She calculated costs exceeding $39 million if interest rates increased. Clodfelter responded that the proposed rate increase would improve financing prospects and staff would recommend additional increases if needed before seeking financing.
Chairman Gilbert III confirmed that avoiding Disposal Fund borrowing and maintaining higher fund balances would assist future financing efforts. He noted that self-paying solid waste fees would benefit future financing decisions.
Commissioner Bermudez stated he wanted to separate Resource Recovery Facility issues from longstanding collection problems. He emphasized the need for honesty with residents regarding collection fee costs and supported stating actual costs for maintaining current service levels. Commissioner Bermudez indicated he would not have supported the administration's original proposal and argued against discarding financing options including public-private partnerships. He asked whether Chairman Gilbert's III proposal would provide residents clear understanding of collection costs for current and future years.
Mr. Clodfelter acknowledged loan payment considerations but characterized Chairman Gilbert's III proposal as progress toward closing budget gaps for two (2) years.
Responding to Commissioner Bermudez�s inquiries about potential third-year problems, Mr. Clodfelter noted budget variables but indicated forecasts suggested $150 would cover two (2) years.
Chairman Gilbert III clarified the $150 increase would link to actual Consumer Price Index (CPI) changes. He emphasized the importance of CPI linkage without caps to prevent system financial deterioration.
Commissioner Bermudez asked whether the $150 increase plus CPI language would prevent future annual cost discussions.
Mr. Clodfelter stated that based on current CPI, Chairman Gilbert's III proposal could prevent repeated discussions absent major inflation fluctuations.
Commissioner Bermudez expressed support for the ordinance based on the proposal and Mr. Clodfelter's analysis but noted the administration and Solid Waste Department needed comprehensive issue resolution.
Chairman Gilbert III thanked staff for their efforts and clarified the proposed legislation and amendments addressed collection fees with disposal-side borrowing. He stated collections would remain unchanged with twice-weekly pickup maintained countywide. Chairman Gilbert III noted costs could be measured, the system made whole with proposed amounts, and CPI-linked to avoid annual decisions.
Commissioner Regalado described representing Pinecrest and successful composting programs initiated at the City's request for additional collection days, now expanding to South Miami and other cities. She noted landfill issues impacted collection rate negotiations and emphasized how master plan and long-term fiscal planning absences affected various negotiations. Commissioner Regalado recalled contract renegotiations when the incinerator failed, preventing optimal terms due to planning deficiencies. She argued holistic approaches would enable better programmatic planning and warned the Board would lose change capabilities without action.
Commissioner Regalado stated that with five to twenty-year viable planning, CPI increases could be acceptable. She emphasized the need for difficult solid waste decisions and supported tri-county incinerator options with public-private partnerships. Commissioner Regalado noted available incinerator options were not being discussed and stated the ordinance prevented Budget Hearing conversations.
Chairman Gilbert defended the principle that solid waste systems should be self-funding, explaining that service levels and costs should align proportionally. He emphasized that the ordinance would require the administration to include actual operational costs in future budget submissions rather than presenting artificially low proposals. Regarding infrastructure decisions, Chairman Gilbert III noted that while the Board could vote immediately on all issues including incinerator location, no members had objected when the administration proposed addressing incinerator siting in September 2024. He stated his willingness to accelerate these decisions if colleagues preferred not to wait for the administration's timeline.
Commissioner Bermudez confirmed his vote position regarding the location of the incineration and agreed with Commissioner Regalado about comprehensive collection, disposal, and siting discussions.
Commissioner Hardeman criticized what he characterized as poor leadership on the solid waste funding issue. He observed that while DSWM was operating at a deficit and required additional resources, County leadership had avoided implementing necessary fee increases due to concerns about the impact on residents.
Commissioner Hardeman argued that the Board needed to make a clear policy decision about whether it wanted self-funding waste management systems, which would require fee increases, or
whether it preferred to subsidize operations through alternative funding sources. He expressed concern about the practice of borrowing from other funds to address the deficit, which he viewed as avoiding the fundamental decision about how to properly fund the system. While Commissioner Hardeman praised Chairman Gilbert's III leadership in proposing the CPI amendment, he expressed disappointment that the administration had not provided clearer policy guidance or direction on waste management funding strategies. He supported linking fee increases to the CPI but questioned whether annual increases were necessary. Commissioner Hardeman concluded that if the Board established a policy requiring fees to cover service levels, then fee increases were essential to meet that objective.
Senator Garcia stated he did not oppose fee discussions but noted two (2) years without incinerator decisions. He observed the Board had waited for administrative garbage collection information and could not support fee increases without incinerator information.
Commissioner Higgins clarified that the collection fees directly funded the garbage trucks and personnel that provided essential waste pickup services, which would continue regardless of the fee structure. She framed the central question as whether the Board would adequately fund the DSWM employees responsible for collecting garbage throughout the County. Commissioner Higgins stressed that maintaining frequent pickup schedules was particularly critical in densely populated, low-income neighborhoods where residents had limited alternatives and where service disruptions could create significant public health concerns. She described reliable waste collection as a fundamental responsibility of local government that required proper funding to maintain service standards.
Responding to Commissioner Hardeman inquiries as to whether the motion included the CPI language, Chairman Gilbert III confirmed that the CPI provisions were incorporated into the proposal. However, he clarified that these adjustments would function as administrative recommendations to the Board rather than automatic increases, meaning commissioners retained the authority to modify, reduce, or reject the recommended adjustments during future budget deliberations.
There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance as amended.

REPORT:
CA Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed resolution into the record.
Vice Chairman Rodriguez opened the public hearing and the following persons appeared:
Mr. Hugo Benitez, Gunster Law Firm, 600 Brickell Avenue, representing GKE Environmental LLC, spoke in support of the agenda item. He explained that the proposed plan would facilitate cleanup of both the County's facility and GKE Environmental's project, enable affordable housing development on County property, create a neighborhood-appropriate project, and preserve necessary law enforcement access.
Mr. Kelly Kite, representing the developer, 2735 Carissa Drive, Vero Beach, Florida, offered to address questions regarding the proposed development, including law enforcement access and mobile command center provisions.
Commissioner Higgins announced her intention to vote against the resolution, expressing concern about future costs to the County and County services for approximately 30 housing units based on her departmental discussions.
Commissioner Steinberg commended Commissioner Bastien's affordable housing efforts but questioned whether the property was truly surplus. She noted that County departments had used the parcel since 1986 and wished to continue current and future operations there. Commissioner Steinberg observed that DTPW currently used the property, DERM was working toward expanded usage, and both Fire Rescue and Police had operational interests. She voiced concerns about the resolution failing to address relocation of current and future County operations.
Commissioner Steinberg requested context from affected departments to inform the Board's decision-making process.
Ms. Lisa Spadafina explained that DERM had operated the Artificial Reef Program on the eastern portion since the mid-1980s, while the western section had been leased to a marine contractor through DTPW. She described recent collaboration with DTPW on contractor eviction issues and DERM's interest in expanding operations to include enhanced artificial reef programs, mooring buoy initiatives, derelict vessel removal, and marine debris management. Ms. Spadafina emphasized the property's strategic value due to its proximity to the Federal Channel, Intracoastal Waterway, and Government Cut, which enabled marine contractor staging and long-term material storage for various programs. She stated that DERM had not identified alternative County-owned properties suitable for these purposes and had been working for years to establish interdepartmental agreements for property use. Ms. Spadafina noted she was informed of the surplus designation within the previous six to eight months.
Commissioner Steinberg requested DTPW provide context on the property.
Mr. Josiel Ferrer-Diaz provided the property's ownership history, explaining that DTPW had owned it for forty years with DERM operating under agreement since 1986. He described the marine contractor's presence from 2003 until eviction in 2021 and final departure in 2023, after which DTPW conducted site cleanup and derelict vessel removal.
Mr. Ferrer-Diaz outlined DTPW's operational plans including equipment staging for bridge maintenance on three river bridges accessible only through this property, future staging for upcoming bridge replacements, and potential resilience infrastructure such as pump stations for the low-lying area. He confirmed that DTPW owned no alternative properties and that other available sites would be limited by proximity requirements to the Guideway and Metrorail systems.
In response to Commissioner Steinberg�s questions about notification timing, Mr. Ferrer-Diaz stated that initial discussions occurred approximately one (1) year prior, with formal correspondence between departments regarding potential uses and the need for further discussion.
Mr. Eulois Cleckley clarified that staff had informed ISD of the property's necessity for DTPW purposes in May 2023, with additional circulation and documentation provided in June 2024.
Commissioner Bastien provided background on the eighteen-month process, explaining that she first learned about the property's surplus status on May 19, 2023, during a meeting with ISD and the administration. She clarified her intention to develop the property for mixed-use affordable housing.
Chairman Gilbert expressed support for the item, observing that it was typically easier for County departments to place facilities, equipment, and vehicles in certain neighborhoods rather than others. He acknowledged that Commissioner Bastien was seeking to bring affordable housing to her district, which he viewed favorably.
Commissioner Steinberg stated her general support for affordable housing initiatives but declared her opposition to the resolution because she believed the property was not legitimately surplus, given the multiple County departments that had ongoing operational needs for the site.
Assistant Fire Chief Jason Fernandez, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department (MDFRD), stated MDFRD had an absolute need for the property for the maintenance and repair of their vessels. He noted MDFRD did not own any other property that could be used to repair their vessels so they could be ready to respond to water incidents.
Officer Thomas Buchanan explained that public safety concerns on the Miami River had escalated recently, prompting the assignment of four (4) marine officers specifically to address these issues. He outlined the department's operational needs including office space, boat docking facilities, equipment storage areas, and establishing a visible police presence on the river. Officer Buchanan described the property's strategic location as ideal for these purposes and explained that a permanent police presence would encourage voluntary compliance from commercial and charter vessels that were creating problems on the river, rather than requiring officers to respond from distant marina locations. He detailed the current operational challenges, noting that officers needed forty-five minutes to travel from existing marinas to reach the mouth of the Miami River, followed by an additional thirty minutes to navigate further upstream to problem areas. Officer Buchanan emphasized that no other comparable waterfront properties were available and stressed that this location was essential for effective river-based public safety operations.
Commissioner Hardemon asked Assistant Chief Fernandez and Officer Buchanan whether their departments currently operated the activities they had described at the disputed site.
Assistant Chief Fernandez confirmed that Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) did not currently conduct vessel maintenance and repair operations at the property.
Officer Buchanan explained that the MDPD had only recently learned the property was available and wanted to relocate existing mobile command posts and portable dock facilities to the location.
Commissioner Hardemon voiced his support for the proposed resolution and contended that the County should have been using the property for its own activities rather than leasing it to external tenants if these operations were truly essential. Commissioner Hardemon observed that Commissioner Bastien had made significantly more progress toward implementing affordable housing than either Fire Rescue or Police had made toward establishing their proposed services at the location.
Commissioner Regalado acknowledged that a significant miscommunication had occurred and requested that Commissioner Bastien consider deferring the resolution until September 2024. She offered to collaborate on co-location and land swap options that could provide both additional housing opportunities and police substation facilities.
Commissioner Regalado emphasized that the Board needed to establish clearer procedures for determining how properties were designated as surplus to prevent similar conflicts in the future.
Chairman Gilbert III concurred with Commissioner Hardemon's observation that the departments were requesting property for activities they currently performed from other locations, questioning the immediate necessity of the disputed site.
In response to Senator Garcia�s inquiry about current operational locations, Officer Buchanan explained that MDPD marine operations were based at marinas located north and south of the Miami River, requiring approximately forty-five minutes to reach the river mouth plus an additional thirty minutes to navigate upstream.
Assistant Chief Fernandez described MDFR's reliance on private vendors along the river for boat repairs, a process that often required weeks or months to schedule vessel removal from water and complete maintenance work. He noted that having their own facility would enable the department to conduct repairs and maintenance independently.
Senator Garcia requested that Chief Operations Officer Jimmy Morales to prepare a comprehensive cost analysis comparing current private vendor expenses for Miami-Dade Fire Rescue boat maintenance with potential savings from conducting operations at the proposed property location.
Addressing process improvements, Mayor Levine Cava acknowledged that the property should have been circulated for departmental review much earlier and admitted significant communication failures across departments. She explained that current regulations only required circulation after receiving development proposals, and extensive negotiations had occurred without her knowledge. Mayor Levine Cava outlined plans to implement earlier circulation procedures and consolidate County real estate functions under centralized management. She noted that future legislation would address these process deficiencies and expressed regret that the situation had reached this point. Mayor Levine Cava recalled that during the July 8, 2024 Housing Committee meeting, the administration had committed to accommodating both public safety needs and housing development, which remained her intention. She confirmed that the administration would work to accommodate public safety, DERM, and DTPW requirements following any Board decision on the resolution.
Senator Garcia called for accountability regarding the administrative failures that had forced the Board to choose between public safety operations and affordable housing development.
Regarding developer negotiations, Senator Garcia questioned whether the departments had opportunities to discuss their operational requirements with the developer.
Officer Buchanan reported meeting with the developer's attorney following the committee meeting, describing them as willing to provide office and dock space access, though no written agreements had been finalized.
Assistant Chief Fernandez stated that preliminary conversations between the Marine Chief and developer had not addressed MDFRD's operational needs, requiring additional detailed discussions about potential accommodations within the proposed development.
Senator Garcia balanced the competing priorities by acknowledging both the county's housing crisis and the legitimate operational needs of public safety departments. He proposed giving the administration additional time to negotiate a comprehensive solution that could address both concerns and expressed his support for a 30-day deferral to allow for these discussions
Commissioner Bastien stated she was amenable to the deferral while providing context for her eighteen-month effort to develop affordable housing on the surplus property. She outlined her collaboration with the Mayor's staff, ISD, and DTPW throughout the process and referenced the July 8, 2024 committee meeting that had established agreements to accommodate police operational needs and developer commitments for boat ramp construction.
Commissioner Bastien noted that 60-day timelines had been set for administrative and developer negotiations with Board reporting requirements.
Commissioner Bastien noted that the space had been unoccupied for twenty-four years until her proposal for mixed-use affordable housing for very low to moderate income residents, including workforce housing, had generated sudden departmental interest in existing operational plans. While agreeing to defer the resolution to provide the administration and staff additional time to work with the developer toward an agreeable solution, she established that DERM would not be allowed to use the District 2 space for boat storage purposes. Commissioner Bastien stated her support for public safety and acknowledged the strategic importance of the location while emphasizing that the administration had originally brought the property to her attention for housing development.
Mr. Hugo Benitez confirmed that the concerns raised had first emerged during the committee meeting. He stated that following the committee meeting, the developer was prepared to provide law enforcement access to existing ramps and allow MDFRD and MDPD property usage as specified in the resolution.
Mr. Benitez acknowledged that specific implementation details would require negotiation during the proposed 60-day period and confirmed the developer's willingness to address DERM and DTPW operational needs. He outlined the housing development plan including 10 percent very low-income units and 15 percent low-to-moderate income units.
When Vice Chairman Rodriguez inquired about total unit numbers, developer representative Kelly Kite explained that approximately 400 units could be constructed between the developer's existing site and County-owned property, with up to 150 units possible on the County property based on affordability requirements and density bonuses.
Commissioner Bastien agreed to the deferral to allow administrative collaboration with the developers and presentation of comprehensive agreements benefiting all parties. She emphasized her goal of addressing the housing crisis in District 2 through affordable housing development and expressed commitment to continued engagement.
Commissioner Bermudez summarized the developer's commitments, which included providing boat ramps, docks, and mobile command centers while absorbing approximately two million dollars in site cleanup costs. He indicated these arrangements would be acceptable if the specific facility plans were finalized within the 60-day timeframe.
Mr. Benitez explained that while it was too early for specific plans, the developer would establish a process for departments to provide input that would guide facility construction.
Commissioner Bermudez confirmed with Mr. Benitez that although detailed plans were not yet available, the developer had agreed to incorporate these facilities into the development concept.
Commissioner Gonzalez expressed concern about mistakes made throughout the process, recalling extensive discussions during the July 8, 2024 committee meeting where Commissioner Higgins and Senator Garcia had made significant points. He noted that Commissioner Bastien had worked for approximately two (2) years to beautify her district and bring housing development, yet public safety concerns were raised only minutes before the committee meeting. Acknowledging public safety as a critical priority, Commissioner Gonzalez asked MDFRD to explain why this site was unique compared to other possible Miami River locations.
Assistant Chief Fernandez stated that MDFRD did not have any waterfront sites that allowed them to remove vessels for maintenance and repairs, store vessels during hurricanes, house their multimillion-dollar vessels to prevent damage, and maintain them in emergency-ready condition.
Commissioner Gonzalez expressed concern that DTPW leadership had been aware of the site for one (1) year and asked how long MDFRD had been considering the area.
Assistant Chief Fernandez said MDFRD was made aware of the property earlier in 2024.
Commissioner Gonzalez noted that the developer's representatives had spent over one (1) year working to develop the site for residents and expressed concern about receiving last-minute information that public safety operations would suffer and lives could be endangered if the resolution proceeded. He stated he would second Commissioner Bastien's motion, explaining that if this situation involved DTPW, ISD, or other departments, he would support her initiative; however, the public safety implications forced the Board to reconsider a year of negotiations.
Commissioner Gonzalez emphasized the need for improved staff communication processes to prevent similar conflicts in the future.
Commissioner Steinberg commended Commissioner Bastien for her efforts and supported the deferral so parties could meet with the administration to resolve the issues.
Following a brief discussion among the Board members regarding the deferral date, ACA Smith advised the foregoing resolution would be deferred to September 17, 2024 since the administration was given 60 days to return to the Board with a report.
There being no further discussion, by motion duly made and seconded, the Board proceeded to defer the foregoing resolution to the September 17, 2024 Board meeting.

DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING STATUS OF THE LA QUINTA ACQUISITION BY THE HOMELESS TRUST
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Regalado expressed concerns about deadlines regarding the La Quinta purchase for senior housing and requested an update from Mr. Ron Book. Chairman Gilbert noted that there were motions that must be completed during the meeting and asked that these be read into the record first.
Mr. Ron Book, Chairman of the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust, reported that the seller had informed the Homeless Trust that without movement in July 2024, he would pull the property off the market. Mr. Book explained that a contract had been signed in September 2023 and the agenda item was prepared and ready for presentation; however, the Homeless Trust lacked a pathway to present the item to the Board due to a legislative hold unless the Board's rules were waived.
Mr. Book outlined the Homeless Trust's post-October 1, 2024 and post-January 1, 2025 planning in response to House Bill 1365, which had become law. He explained that the legislation established an encampment statute effective October 1, 2024, and would automatically create citizens' right to sue based on people sleeping in public places beginning January 1, 2025.
Mr. Book stated that homeless shelters were at capacity and the Homeless Trust was conducting daily searches for additional housing units. He advised that the La Quinta Hotel acquisition was part of the expansion plan, along with additional units in Commissioner Hardemon's district despite opposition from the City of Miami to additional facilities within its boundaries. Mr. Book cautioned that if the Homeless Trust could not demonstrate to courts that they were providing shelter and housing opportunities, the County would face damages from lawsuits being prepared for filing on January 1, 2025.
In response to Commissioner Regalado's inquiry, Mr. Book stated the Homeless Trust had invested approximately $400,000 in out-of-pocket cash. He noted that ISD and the RER were prepared to address appraisal issues and explained that the price above appraised value included costs for buying out a corporate flag agreement with La Quinta, without which there would be no deal.
Ms. Raquel Matas explained that ISD had commissioned two appraisals in 2022, updated in 2023 based on the Live Local Act passage. The appraisals, conducted as highest and best use analyses incorporating Live Local provisions, yielded values of $10.2 million and $10.1 million, averaging $10.2 million. Ms. Matas noted that this average was presented to the seller, who insisted on the $14 million purchase price.
Commissioner Regalado inquired about the Board's options to prevent losing the property given the legislative hold.
ACA Monica Rizo advised that options included discussing the contract with the commissioner holding the item, conducting a sunshine meeting to explore bringing the item forward, recessing the current meeting for sunshine discussions and reconvening, scheduling a special meeting, or suspending Board rules to bring the item forward.
Commissioner Regalado noted time constraints as the Board would not meet again until September 2024 and the property would be removed from the market. She questioned the Board's plan for homeless seniors if the project failed, noting that the issue stemmed from budget reallocation processes and expressing concern about impacts on Homeless Trust operations and the Board's established housing priorities for homeless seniors.
Commissioner Hardemon argued for serious discussion about legislative holds while emphasizing the Board should not avoid difficult votes. He noted that the Board had reached compromise positions requiring Board approval for legislative holds and described successful transitional housing developments in the Overtown area with 23 to 28 renovated units. Commissioner Hardemon emphasized that the County needed to provide quality housing options for community residents and expressed willingness to suspend the rules to address the issue, stating the Board needed to provide leadership on difficult decisions including housing and solid waste management.
Commissioner Bermudez supported Commissioner Hardemon's comments about legislative holds, expressing concern that holds were becoming tools to prevent discussion and decision-making. He argued that additional procedural requirements created negative effects on important policy discussions.
Commissioner Higgins described her service on a National Housing Stability Task Force and visits to communities addressing homelessness, particularly among seniors. She noted examining converted hotels and motels used for single room occupancy housing in two (2) communities, one serving seniors and another serving working individuals who could not afford traditional housing. Commissioner Higgins observed that this model was being implemented nationwide for people with income, noting that while seniors had Social Security income, amounts were often insufficient for rental housing. She expressed support for the La Quinta acquisition as an opportunity to implement proposed covenants.
Commissioner Regalado moved to suspend the Board rules to allow voting on the item.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins strongly opposed the motion, noting this was the second time within a week that a discussion item had been placed on the agenda without coordination with the district commissioner. She characterized the La Quinta acquisition as controversial in her district and criticized the timing, noting the discussion item was added yesterday afternoon, preventing other parties from participating. Commissioner Cohen Higgins objected to suspending the Board�s rules based on urgency claims from the Homeless Trust, specifically challenging statements about property market withdrawal.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated that Mr. Book could not provide a Multiple Listing Service number for the La Quinta property because it was never on the market and was not currently listed, arguing there was no threat of market withdrawal. She characterized claims of another buyer offering $5 million above asking price as unrealistic and argued there was no legitimate urgency. Commissioner Cohen Higgins noted she had consistently expressed community willingness to welcome such projects in District 8 but not at this specific location. She maintained that forcing a vote before the district commissioner was prepared based on false urgency was problematic and compared it to placing discussion items about other deferred projects like Calusa. Commissioner Cohen Higgins cautioned against overstepping district commissioner authority and legislative holds in response to resident concerns, characterizing Mr. Book's urgency representations as false. She voiced her opposition to suspending the Board�s rules and requested colleagues reject the motion, allowing normal processes to proceed.
Chairman Gilbert III expressed support for converting the La Quinta hotel for individuals needing housing while agreeing with Commissioner Hardemon's distinction between holds for drafting versus holds preventing consideration. He noted the Board had never established such distinctions and routinely extended holds. Chairman Gilbert III stated that Commissioner Cohen Higgins deserved deference but not necessarily solidarity, as the Board must act in the County's overall best interest. He opposed immediately overriding rules but believed the Board should be able to vote when multiple commissioners desired action, noting that if rule suspension occurred, public input should be provided.
Commissioner Higgins agreed with Chairman Gilbert's III assessment and stated she would not support suspending rules due to short notice while acknowledging deference owed to Commissioner Cohen Higgins. She proposed Commissioner Cohen Higgins bring an item to the first October 2024 Board meeting, after which the Board could discuss rule suspension if necessary. Commissioner Higgins suggested this would allow time for neighborhood meetings and stricter covenant negotiations with the Homeless Trust, noting this approach would not change her support for the acquisition.
Commissioner Regalado argued the Board had provided district commissioner deference through reports, public meetings, alternative site searches, and Cutler Bay representative appearances. She noted concerns about losing the La Quinta property and argued the Board could not allow the deal to collapse. Commissioner Regalado warned that losing the property would establish precedent allowing commissioners to delay Homeless Trust projects indefinitely through holds, characterizing this as a Countywide issue where Board thoughtfulness and patience had been demonstrated. She observed that the district commissioner opposed the acquisition while the Homeless Trust needed the property, with no apparent compromise possible given time constraints that jeopardized the acquisition.
Commissioner Regalado stated willingness to withdraw her motion but emphasized that property loss would result from the Board�s failure to act. She outlined options including immediate rule suspension, meeting continuation with Cutler Bay representatives present, or scheduled resolution timelines, questioning alternative sites for homeless seniors.
Chairman Gilbert III asked Mr. Book whether the acquisition could be extended to September 2024, expressing opposition to rule waiver due to insufficient notice to Cutler Bay residents who deserved speaking opportunities.
Mr. Book responded that the seller had designated July as his deadline but suggested that having an agenda item and allowing the seller to observe Board discussion levels might provide basis for extension requests. He proposed that RER, ISD, and Homeless Trust Executive Director Victoria Mallette approach the seller about September extension, noting he had avoided direct seller communication in his chair role.
Chairman Gilbert III agreed with the extension approach while noting the need for alternative site resolution. He requested Commissioner Regalado withdraw her motion and committed to placing a discussion item on the September 4, 2024 agenda. Chairman Gilbert III expressed hope for creative alternative site exploration while acknowledging the location's suitability for Homeless Trust operations. He emphasized that homeless population housing needs must be accommodated even at higher costs and stated his goal of addressing these needs during budget considerations.
Commissioner Regalado agreed to withdraw her motion while noting that unhoused seniors had more than tripled in Miami-Dade County since the Board approved the Homeless Trust contract. She emphasized the Board's obligation to provide senior housing and stated that seniors should not be residing at Camillus House.
Senator Garcia emphasized the importance of receiving complete and accurate information when items were presented to the Board and acknowledged the community's need for both senior housing and mental health wraparound services. He expressed appreciation for Chairman Gilbert's III leadership on the issue and recommended that the administration make a genuine effort to identify alternative sites within Commissioner Cohen Higgins' district, with findings reported back to the Board.
Mr. Book clarified that the Board had previously adopted resolutions directing the Mayor to examine alternatives which the administration and Homeless Trust had pursued without success. He expressed openness to continued searching while emphasizing the extensive efforts already undertaken since contract signing and initial concerns.
Commissioner Bermudez confirmed with Chairman Gilbert III that the Board would discuss and decide on the site at the September 4, 2024 meeting.
Vice Chairman Rodriguez confirmed that Commissioner Regalado had withdrawn her motion and the discussion item would be reconsidered in September 2024 as a new item from either the district commissioner or Chairman Gilbert III.

REPORT:
CA Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins proposed a friendly amendment to include trails in the ordinance language.
Commissioner Higgins accepted the amendment, stipulating that trails must be adjacent to rapid transit corridors. She suggested adding language to Section 2-2365 of the proposed ordinance to include "cycling and pedestrian facilities adjacent to a rapid transit project, or within half a mile with a direct connection to a transit station."
Commissioner Regalado suggested using "and/or" language and referenced the Underline Ludlam Connector as an example of such facilities.
Commissioner Higgins explained that from the perspective of the U.S. Department of Transportation and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the County's long-term contribution to transportation had been viewed as zero. She noted that she had reset the tax revenue baseline year so that the Transportation Infrastructure Improvement District ( TIID) would take less money for transit in the next fiscal year, which she considered responsible given the County's budget challenges with constitutional officers. Commissioner Higgins emphasized that the County would not generate property tax value increases without transit investment, and that this ordinance would enable effective negotiations with Department of Transportation (DOT) and FDOT on other projects. Commissioner Higgins cautioned against focusing too heavily on biking facilities at the expense of rapid transit needs.
The proposed ordinance was amended pursuant to the Supplement to clarify that the Board may change the amount paid by a community redevelopment agency into the TIID Trust Fund upon request from the Commissioner whose district includes the majority of the community redevelopment area. The supplement also revised Section 2-2368(c) to specify that upon expiration of any Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and area that includes Rapid Transit projects, the County shall contribute 75 percent of the required amount into the Trust Fund.
Additionally, the resolution was amended to add language to Section 2-2365 to include cycling and pedestrian facilities adjacent to rapid transit projects or within half a mile with direct connection to a transit station.
There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance as amended.

REPORT:
Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated that she had pulled the item to address significant pricing disparities in the County's three-zone recycling contract renewal. She noted that Zone 1 pricing remained flat, Zone 2 increased by 8%, but Zone 3 experienced a dramatic 20% increase for the same the services provided the previous year.
Mr. Grant Smith, representing Waste Connections of Florida, defended the increase by explaining that his company had served the County for over 30 years but had been constrained by previous contract terms capping annual increases at 3% while actual costs rose much higher. He stated that Waste Connections had been operating at break-even or a loss for many years until this new bidding process. Mr. Smith emphasized that Zone 3 presented unique operational challenges, explaining that Waste Connections was the only company willing to bid on the challenging service area. He detailed significant cost pressures, including substantial increases in equipment expenses and the need for a large fleet to serve the zone effectively. Mr. Smith emphasized that the company had worked collaboratively with County staff during negotiations and had voluntarily reduced their initial pricing proposal as part of the procurement process.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins challenged the significant rate increase, questioning why Waste Connections could not achieve the pricing stability demonstrated by companies in the other two (2) zones. She expressed concern that residents were being asked to subsidize the company's past financial losses and suggested the 20% increase was excessive for such a large contract.
Mr. Smith responded by detailing the extensive negotiation process with County staff and denying any attempt to recover previous losses through inflated pricing. He emphasized that the company had honored its previous contract terms without seeking adjustments and noted that each zone presented different operational and economic challenges.
Ms. Uppal confirmed the thorough negotiation process had resulted in a modest price reduction and explained that Zone 3's geographic characteristics - being the largest area with the lowest population density - created higher operational costs due to extended travel times and increased fuel expenses.
Commissioner Regalado provided context by linking the contract to broader recycling improvements initiated through 2023 legislation. She highlighted significant cost savings achieved through the procurement process and noted measurable improvements in contamination rates. Commissioner Regalado emphasized the contract's educational components designed to improve recycling participation and reduce overall waste.
Chairman Gilbert III questioned the procurement designation and expressed concerns about limited competition.
Ms. Uppal explained that despite issuing a competitive solicitation, Waste Connections was the sole respondent for Zone 3, leaving the County with limited options after the initial proposal was deemed technically non-responsive.
Chairman Gilbert III critiqued the procurement evaluation process, suggesting that rejecting proposals over minor technical issues could undermine competitive bidding effectiveness and create unnecessary barriers for vendors.
When asked about further cost reductions, Mr. Smith maintained that the proposed pricing represented the company's best offer given the zone's operational challenges and extensive negotiation process.
There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution as presented.

REPORT:
Commissioner Regalado requested deferral to the September 4, 2024 meeting, citing concerns from the League of Cities, Village of Key Biscayne, and Village of Pine Crest about the proposed Mutual Aid Agreement. She stated the legislation was well-intended but emphasized it would be the Sheriff's purview.
Chairman Gilbert III opposed deferral and explained the County was paying approximately $900,000 in Miami Beach overtime costs based on decisions it did not make. He stated the resolution required cities to reimburse the County for "Preplanned Voluntary Major Events" and emphasized it was bad fiscal policy for the County to subsidize cities' policing decisions for prolonged periods. Chairman Gilbert III clarified the agreement was assignable to the incoming Sheriff, included indemnification provisions, and warned of larger budget deficits if the item failed. He offered to withdraw the proposed legislation if someone motioned to allocate $1 million for every municipality's voluntary events. Chairman Gilbert III noted that Spring Break costs had escalated from $300,000 to $800,000 and cautioned that deferral would occur after cities set their millage and budgets.
Commissioner Steinberg opposed the resolution due to concerns raised by law enforcement officers. She acknowledged that Chairman Gilbert had made amendments following his meetings with police, but requested clarification on three key issues: voluntary participation in events, indemnification provisions, and procedures for off-duty officer removal. She also questioned whether the County's mutual aid agreements extended to Miami-Dade Public Schools Police and FIU Police, or were limited to municipalities only. Citing these unresolved concerns, she seconded the motion to defer the resolution, stating she could not support it in its current form.
Senator Garcia argued that municipalities contributed to the County's general budget and received fewer services, questioning whether the County was truly subsidizing municipal services. He referenced the Copa America tournament's operational breakdown and questioned who would define pre-planned events. Senator Garcia suggested commissioner-requested police services should come from their individual budgets, expressed concern about potential division among agencies, and supported deferral for additional vetting and negotiations.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins supported Chairman Gilbert's III underlying principle but worried that police chiefs might hesitate to request Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) assistance due to cost concerns, which could result in reduced law enforcement coverage at large voluntary events. She read concerns from the Miami-Dade County Association of Chiefs of Police about lack of discussion and advocated for more comprehensive conversations with the law enforcement community.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins noted the County had a large MDPD overtime budget allocation and felt the $1 million expense was not large enough to justify the angst among law enforcement.
Commissioner Hardemon concurred with Chairman Gilbert's III fiscal responsibility concept but supported deferral to discuss details. He noted the Board was extending a blank check to municipalities, which was not fiscally responsible, and pointed out that Miami Beach created issues for itself while the resolution was being presented as making communities less safe rather than seeking responsible budgeting.
Commissioner Gonzalez initially expressed hesitation about the mutual aid agreement but supported Chairman Gilbert's III amended version that focused specifically on preplanned voluntary major events. He emphasized that municipalities should plan and budget to pay their fair share for these types of events, comparing it to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) where all members must contribute. However, after hearing Miami Beach representatives express concerns about the timing relative to their millage-setting process, Commissioner Gonzalez supported deferring the item to allow proper negotiation and involvement of all stakeholders, including police chiefs, elected officials, and residents.
Chief Wayne Jones, City of Miami Beach Police, stated Spring Break's success was due to MDPD contributions and warned that losing MDPD assistance due to costs would be detrimental to policing Miami Beach and surrounding areas.
Ms. Rickelle Williams, City of Miami Beach Interim Manager, expressed appreciation for County support during high impact periods and requested deferral to review language, express concerns, and negotiate appropriately with all elected officials to ensure fair agreements.
Commissioner Bermudez supported deferral based on the police chiefs' requests, emphasized municipalities' responsibility to budget for their services, opposed the $1 million allocation due to varying city sizes, and suggested defining preplanned voluntary major events and reviewing indemnification clauses.
Vice Chairman Rodriguez thanked Miami Beach Commissioner Alex Fernandez for attending, supported deferral, but indicated he could support the item if it came back properly structured with no unintended consequences.
Commissioner Higgins concurred with deferral, agreed that indemnification should be mutual, characterized the issue as event planning rather than mutual aid, and requested a report from the Mayor's office and OMB listing municipalities that invoked mutual aid for pre-planned events over the past five years.
Commissioner Higgins requested Chief Operations Officer Jimmy Morales, Office of the Mayor, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review and prepare a report listing other municipalities that had invoked the Mutual Aid Agreement for pre-planned events within the past five (5) years. She requested the report be provided at the September 4, 2024 Board meeting when the item returns for consideration.
Commissioner Regalado requested a Point of Personal Privilege and thanked Chairman Gilbert III for his efforts and noted the issue was about fiscal responsibility.
In response to Chairman Gilbert III�s question as to who he should negotiate with, the Board members indicated Chief Pete Delgado, West Miami Police Department and President, Miami-Dade County Association of Chiefs of Police.
Commissioner Regalado suggested each commissioner discuss the foregoing resolution with municipalities located in their commission district to develop a comprehensive proposal that would be amenable to everyone.
There being no further discussion, by motion duly made and seconded, the Board proceeded to defer the foregoing proposed resolution to the September 4, 2024 BCC meeting.

|
Amended
|
| |
REPORT:
Senator Garcia moved to amend the proposed resolution to address public transportation accessibility in his district.
Commissioner Higgins accepted the proffered amendment.
Senator Garcia explained that the amendment was necessary because Route 37 had been eliminated from Commission District 13 due to ADA non-compliance issues. He emphasized that ensuring ADA compliance would restore bus service and provide essential transportation access for area residents.
It was moved by Commissioner Higgins that the Board adopt the foregoing proposed resolution, as amended to direct the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to establish a bus stop in compliance with all applicable requirements including the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) for the bus route 37, near the Robert Forcum Towers, at or near 220 W. 74th Place, Hialeah; and to direct the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to prepare an agenda item for the consideration of this Board to the extent required to effectuate this directive. This motion was seconded by Senator Garcia, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 11-0 (Commissioners Cabrera and McGhee were absent).
The final amended version was assigned Resolution No. R-703-24.

REPORT:
Commissioner Gonzalez expressed appreciation to Chairman Gilbert III for expediting the agenda placement and acknowledged the MDAD staff for their efficient handling of the matter. He emphasized his commitment to monitoring compliance with all agreement milestones and deadlines.

Additionally, he proposed an additional community benefit amendment requiring the developer to provide educational facilities for youth programs.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution as amended to require the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee, prior to executing the Development Lease Agreement, to negotiate and include a provision in the Agreement, under which Ocean Aviation shall construct and donate a 1200 square foot classroom space to the County for use by the Civil Air Patrol as a community benefit.

REPORT:
CA Bonzon-Keenan read into the record Commissioner Regalado's proposed amendment to delete the first paragraph under the project description section on Page two of the Mayor's memorandum entitled "Potential Conflicts with Atlas Air and Florida East Coast Railway" and replace it with detailed provisions addressing the development timeline and requirements. The amendment established that the selected development site complied with Miami-Dade County Resolution Number R-191-22 and was located approximately 3,500 feet east of the Florida East Coast Railway line; it further specified that Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) could not offer Atlas Air the complete expansion site until American Airlines was relocated from Building 704 to a new location, and that American Airlines could not be required to vacate unless MDAD provided comparable or better facilities to accommodate its operations.
Commissioner Regalado explained that she had met with American Airlines representatives and that the proposed amendment addressed their concerns regarding the relocation process.
Vice Chairman Rodriguez inquired whether both Atlas Air and American Airlines were comfortable with the proposed amendment.
Mr. Ralph Cutie confirmed that both companies had accepted the terms.
When asked about local contractor participation, Mr. Cutie stated that sixty percent of the businesses hired for the project implementation would be locally headquartered, including Lamar Tech for construction and Present EAC for design work. He reported that the project would create 8,500 jobs during construction and 2,500 permanent jobs once the facilities became operational, with the majority of positions being filled locally.
Senator Garcia raised concerns about safeguards to protect County residents from potential costs if the private sector partner failed during the project, and specifically questioned what would happen to the County and the building structure if the project encountered difficulties halfway through construction, particularly if economic conditions deteriorated.
Mr. Cutie explained the multiple safeguards in place to protect the County's interests. He stated that Florida Statutes required surety bonds for any project exceeding $200,000, and that the developer must maintain such bonds throughout the project duration. If the project encountered problems, MDAD would call upon the surety company to bring in another contractor to complete the work. Mr. Cutie outlined the milestone requirements built into the project schedule, requiring the developer to meet specific benchmarks during the first eighteen months, including environmental testing of the site, finalizing financing arrangements, and providing certified information from equity partners. He emphasized that the County's financial exposure was limited to approximately $90 million from existing capital improvement programs, while the developer was responsible for funding the $400 to $600 million project cost.
Senator Garcia sought clarification about the County's financial obligations and confirmed that the $90 million represented funds already allocated in the County's capital improvement program for airport infrastructure.
Mr. Cutie confirmed this understanding and reiterated that the developer bore the primary financial responsibility for the project.
Commissioner Bastien inquired about opportunities for small contractors to participate in the project.
Mr. Cutie confirmed that the developer had exceeded the County's requirement for sixty percent or more locally headquartered business participation. He explained that during negotiations, the County had specifically required this local business participation threshold, and the developer had complied with and surpassed this requirement. Mr. Cutie reiterated that all construction work and design work would be performed by locally headquartered businesses.
Responding to Commissioner Bastien�s questions about progress reporting, Mr. Cutie assured the Board that regular progress reports would be provided to monitor the project's advancement and ensure compliance with all requirements.
There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as amended.

COMMISSIONER HIGGINS MOVED TO DIRECT THE COUNTY MAYOR OR COUNTY MAYOR'S DESIGNEE TO CONSIDER THE USE OF A DESIGNATED PURCHASE OR BID WAIVER TO SELECT AND NEGOTIATE A FINAL AGREEMENT WITH ONE OF THE TOP TWO RATED VENDORS THAT SUBMITTED A PROPOSAL IN RESPONSE TO SOLICITATION RFP-01673 (DEVELOPMENT OF VIZCAYA STATION PROPERTY)
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Higgins addressed a procurement issue that had been stalled for several years involving the development of Vizcaya Station property. She explained that while her motion would reference "designated purchase" or "bid waiver" language, the actual intent was to direct the Mayor to restart the selection process by reconvening the Selection Committee to make a final recommendation between the top two rated vendors.
ACA Bruce Libhaber read the motion into the record as follows: Commissioner Higgins moved to direct the County Mayor or County Mayor's designee to consider the use of a designated purchase or bid waiver to select and negotiate a final agreement with one of the top two rated vendors that submitted a proposal in response to solicitation RFP-01673 (Development of Vizcaya Station Property). If the County Mayor�s recommendation is to not award through a designated purchase or bid waiver, the County Mayor shall provide a written recommendation including reasons why a designated purchase or bid waiver is not in the County�s best interest, and present a timeline for a new procurement process. The Mayor�s contract award recommendation shall be provided to the County Commission no later than the last Commission meeting of 2024.
This motion was seconded by Chairman Gilbert III and, upon being put to a vote, passed 11-0 (Commissioners Cabrera and McGhee were absent).
Following the vote, Commissioner Gonzalez requested a point of personal privilege to recognize Commission District 11 interns attending the meeting and commended their community service. He also recognized Commission Aide Ethan Murphy from District 11.

DISCUSSION RELATED TO RTZ LITIGATION
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Regalado initiated discussion about the City of Miami's (City) official decision to pursue litigation against the County regarding the Rapid Transit Zone (RTZ), suggesting the Board should designate someone to work toward resolving the dispute.
Chairman Gilbert III confirmed he had been selected for this role and provided context on the litigation status. He explained that while the City had taken a position leading to litigation, opportunities for settlement might still exist. Chairman Gilbert III noted that the next phase would be typically be court-directed mediation and that he possessed interim authority to negotiate with the City, with any negotiated agreements requiring Board approval before implementation.
Chairman Gilbert III revealed that he had received notification from the City's leadership requesting another joint meeting for July 29, 2024, though he indicated no meeting would occur on that date due to commissioner availability. He commented that he found it contradictory that the City was simultaneously requesting additional meetings while having officially waived the dispute resolution process that would typically require such meetings.
Commissioner Regalado analyzed the City's strategic positioning, suggesting that when the City appeared in court, they would likely be asked whether all administrative options had been exhausted. She opined that the City wanted to establish that the County had failed to hold a required second meeting, even though the City had officially waived their procedural rights. This would allow them to argue they had pursued all available remedies before litigation.
Commissioner Higgins expressed discomfort with discussing litigation matters in public session, given that the City had voted to file a lawsuit against the County. She suggested that any discussions about pending litigation should occur in a Shade meeting to protect the County's legal interests.
Chairman Gilbert III agreed with Commissioner Higgins' concerns and outlined his position on potential settlement parameters. He indicated openness to conversations that would preserve the RTZ's fundamental integrity while potentially accommodating the City's concerns about funding security. Chairman Gilbert III emphasized the connection between the RTZ and the TIID ordinance passed earlier in the meeting, noting that the RTZ provided legal authority for the TIDD.
Chairman Gilbert III framed the dispute in terms of regional governance authority, asserting that the County, as the regional government, bore responsibility for addressing regional transportation needs and had legitimate authority to establish requirements along transit corridors. He expressed willingness to reach an agreement with the City while maintaining these principles.
Commissioner Regalado referenced a settlement proposal she had made during previous joint meetings between the County and City, and
Chairman Gilbert III confirmed his openness to considering the proposal as part of any settlement discussions.
