  241394 Discussion Item     Raquel A. Regalado        
  DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING STATUS OF THE LA QUINTA ACQUISITION BY THE HOMELESS TRUST Presented
  REPORT: Vice Chairman Rodriguez opened the discussion regarding the status of La Quinta�s acquisition by the Homeless Trust.

Commissioner Higgins advocated for moving forward with the property acquisition to facilitate the development of the needed housing for the senior community, alleviate the deepening homeless crisis, and enable the Homeless Trust (the Trust) to negotiate a solution. She noted that the new law allowed for the arrest of people sleeping in public places effective August 1, 2024.

Senator Garcia commented that the homeless population continued to increase in all sectors of life; and even though it was a troublesome issue for all to address, it was affecting the entire community. He stated the new state legislative changes were pressuring local governments to resolve the housing issue for the homeless, and the changes only addressed the older adult population because it was becoming difficult for them to find housing. He emphasized it was time for the County to resolve this issue for a population without a voice, and he felt comfortable moving forward with it since it would help the older adult population.

Commissioner McGhee asked for a show of hands from the members of the public present at today�s meeting if supporting the acquisition of the property and from those opposing the acquisition to determine if the community supported the property acquisition for that use. He commented that many in the older adult population could not afford to pay for housing because of the current market circumstances, and the growth rate of the Town of Cutler Bay (the Town) made the area viable for the older adult population to strive. Therefore, he would support the property acquisition.

Commissioner Hardemon supported the property acquisition as it would assist homeless individuals in transitioning from shelters to permanent homes. He backed the Trust�s focus on permanent housing instead of shelters by empowering an organization dedicated to ending homelessness by providing lasting homes for the poor in our community.

Commissioner Hardemon highlighted the importance of county commission districts identifying areas within their districts to assist those unable to pay rent to foster community development. He pointed out that people would adapt to their environment in response to enhanced living conditions. He noted he wished to have Miami seen as the place to stay and live rather than leave. Commissioner Hardemon expressed support for providing decent living quarters to poor people with responsible landlords to eliminate the worries of health safety issues caused by the home�s structural conditions.

Commissioner Regalado commented that today�s discussion intended to identify a compromise and wished to support the Trust and the older adult community. She advised she wanted an update on the status of the negotiations and the concessions made by the Trust. She explained the agreement included a covenant, and the use of the property would benefit the senior community only. Commissioner Regalado advised she was preparing a legislative item to address homelessness countywide.

Commissioner Bastien commented that Miami-Dade County had a serious housing crisis, and it continued to worsen, and no one was exempt from becoming homeless even when employed. She pointed out that the new state legislation, SB3165, recently signed by Governor De Santis, made it a crime to sleep in public. She expressed her desire to reach common ground in the negotiations and recommended consideration of everyone�s concerns to assist the Golden Warriors.

Commissioner Gonzalez commented he respected Commissioner Cohen Higgins�s concerns, but the County Commission was considering the concerns of the people affected. He highlighted it was appalling to turn our backs on the homeless and the older adult community, and the senior community should have a voice. He stated that, upon reviewing all the documentation and discussions, he felt that the project was not only a necessity but encompassed the image of Miami-Dade County�s future.

In response to Commissioner Gonzalez�s question relating to the discrepancy in the price of the project, Mr. Ron Book, Chairman of the Homeless Trust (the Trust), responded that they ensure the property seller met with the County Commission District Commissioner to explain the price amount above the appraised value. He explained that the factors increasing the property�s price in excess of the appraised value were La Quinta Inn�s franchise agreement containing liquidated damages clause costing over $2 million, costs associated with re-bookings, and costs associated with diminished business. He advised that the increased price resulted in the project�s unit price being between $131,000 and $132,000, which was in line with today�s unit cost in the County. He stated the County had a desperate need for at least 100,000 additional housing units at a minimum due to the threat of a civil lawsuit. He pointed out that the County needed to be able to show a court it was taking every necessary measure to address the issue, and he believed that the project was part of the solution presented to the Mayor to cover the threat of a civil lawsuit possibly coming onto the County October 1, or January 1.

Commissioner Gonzalez explained that the cost of the liquidated damages arising from the franchise agreement was an established figure and an unavoidable contractual cost.

In response to Commissioner Gonzalez�s question, Mr. Book advised the property currently had 109 units that included suites; and with some space modifications, the property could yield a conservative number of 140 units to potentially house 150 persons.

In response to Commissioner Gonzalez�s question, Mr. Book responded that no other structure located within the County would house the same number of persons from a capacity standpoint.


Commissioner Cohen Higgins thanked all her colleagues for their thoughtfulness and opinions. She emphasized the significance of the affordable housing issue and the importance of finding housing for the older adult population in the County. She noted her sentiments were more enthusiastic because of her personal history. The entire Board was working towards the same goal.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins thanked the County Mayor and the Town Council for their time and participation in the meetings and negotiations to identify a solution, but they failed to reach an agreement.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins explained the reasons for her opposition to the project. She stated the excessive price over the appraised value of the property only benefited the seller and was not in the best interest of the taxpayers. She advised the last four (4) appraisals for the property were $9.5 million, $9.7 million, $10.2 million, and $10.3 for an average appraised value of $9.8 million. She pointed out the property�s purchase price of $14 million represented an excess of 100% over the last selling price two (2) years ago when the property sold for $6 million would affect the taxpayers. She noted it would be more prudent if financial options were available to the taxpayers of Miami-Dade County.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins commented on the negotiated reduced purchase price for the West Government Business Center and noted a price reduction would help provide additional housing units for the homeless. She requested the Board consider the property she suggested and not disregard it.

In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins�s question, ACA Debra Herman advised that, based on the draft before them, the City of Miami (the City) would contribute $8 million to the Trust for the purchase of the property.

In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins�s question, Mr. Alejandro Martinez-Esteve answered it was his understanding that the City had considered the issue.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated that Mr. David Clodfelter informed her that the City had not voted to approve the funding, and there was no agreement between the Trust and the City executed.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner Cohen Higgins and Mr. Martinez-Esteve regarding an article on the approval of the $8 million funding to the Trust and the City�s readiness to agree to fund the project.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins pointed out that the Trust had no funding in place and the Trust needed to address several contingencies. She commented on the $4 million over the property�s appraised value while the County currently had a tight budget year.

Mr. Clodfelter confirmed the City had not approved the $8 million funding to the Trust. He noted the $8 million funding was included in the budget without the execution of the agreement.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins commented on the lack of oversight and auditing of the Trust�s activities based on the provisions of section 2-753(f) of the Miami-Dade County Code, and she read that section of the Code into the record. She highlighted the Trust should meet the same auditing requirements imposed on other County programs and departments. She highlighted the Trust felt they were not required to submit an audit report. She expressed her intent to protect the County�s taxpayers. She noted that she hoped the Chair and commissioners would vote with their conscious on this issue.

In response to Cohen Higgins�s inquiry, Mr. Adeyinka �Yinka� Majekodunmi explained the auditing requirements of that section.

In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins�s question, Mr. Majekodunmi advised the Trust had not submitted an audit report within the last ten (10) years based on his office review.

In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins�s question relating to the Trust transparency mechanism, Mr. Majekodunmi advised there was no one on record auditing the Trust according to the section of the Code requiring an audit; and the Trust received notification last year about the requirement to submit an audit report.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner Cohen Higgins and Mr. Majekodunmi regarding the Trust�s lack of notification about their engagement in auditing efforts.

Chairman Gilbert III commented there was a disagreement about the interpretation on the provision relating to the auditing requirements. He stated the Trust was audited in the context of the County operations; and it would be misleading to say the Trust was not audited because it was not done in the manner the Commission Auditor interpreted that section of the Code. He highlighted there were difference of opinions on the auditing requirements.

Mr. Book clarified the Trust was audited regularly.

Ms. Victoria Mallette, Executive Director of the Trust, advised the Trust was an instrumentality and agency of Miami-Dade County; and the Trust was included in the County�s annual audit. She highlighted the Trust was the recipient of over $50 million annually from the United States Housing and Urban Development and received grants from the State of Florida, and they were subject to state and federal audits for those funds. She pointed out the Trust�s meetings were held in the Sunshine with the Board, and this Board approves every fiscal matter involving this Board while most items develop at the committee level. Consequently, she would argues that several entities had oversight over the Trust�s activities and finances and scrutinized the funds.

Chairman Gilbert III commented Ms. Mallette�s observations were valid; and the audit interpretation discrepancies between the Commission Auditor and the Trust should be resolved. He highlighted the funds spent by the Homeless Trust were being monitored.

Commissioner Higgins advised that this was of countywide significance and asked the County Attorney to make a motion to suspend the Board�s Rules of Procedure to present before the Board a legislative item on the acquisition of the property for a vote.

ACA Herman read into the record the following motion as requested by Commissioner Higgins:
Commissioner Higgins moves to suspend applicable Rules of Procedure, including but not limited to, those relating to sponsorship, legislative approval periods, and Committee Review, to allow the preparation of a legislative item for this Board�s consideration approving a contract for the sale and purchase of La Quinta Inn property located at 10821 Caribbean Boulevard in Cutler Bay, Florida. Commissioner Higgins further moves to direct the County Mayor or Mayor�s designee to prepare an item for this Board�s consideration, under her sponsorship, to approve a contract for the sale and purchase of La Quinta Inn property using legally available funds and to present such item to the Board at its September 17, 2024, meeting. (See Agenda Item 15F2, Legislation File Number 241648)

Commissioner Higgins stated that her moral code and desire to help less fortunate people motivated her to make the motion and her decisions while serving on this Board. She pointed out that her drive to serve on this Board was to resolve some of society�s greatest local issues, such as transportation-related issues, housing-related issues, and create good jobs with benefits.

Commissioner McGhee seconded the motion on the floor.

Chairman Gilbert III opened the floor for discussion.

Chairman Gilbert III commented that he hoped the County Administration had found a middle ground in the negotiations with the Town. He pointed out that, from the County�s perspective, it would be right to support the property acquisition; but it would not be wrong not to approve it.

Mr. Book advised all interested parties had met several times, including the Town, the mall developer, and the County Commission District 8 Commissioner. He highlighted the meetings culminated in due diligence for a potential property suggested by Commissioner Cohen Higgins, and they had reached a mutually beneficial agreement that included provisions recommended by the mall developer. He explained the terms negotiated.

Mr. Chad Friedman, attorney representing the Town, expressed opposition to the property purchase for the intended use and terms negotiated, which solely favored the mall developer, and highlighted their support for Commissioner Cohen Higgins� position.

Commissioner McGhee pointed out that a section of the Town and part of the subject property was located inside County Commission District 9. He emphasized his opposition to the Town�s position, which opposed the Golden Warriors� need for housing. He objected to Mr. Friedman�s remarks, suggesting that the entire town opposed the acquisition of the property and supported Commissioner Cohen Higgins�s position. He also objected to the discussion about the audits that insinuated fraud or mismanagement.

Chairman Gilbert III clarified Mr. Friedman�s comments represented the Town�s Council�s opposition to the property acquisition and support for the county commission district commissioner�s position.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins commented on the difficulty of this issue, but it needed a resolution. She stated the Trust failed to submit the required audit reports for the last ten (10) years as required by the Code and highlighted their significance.

Mr. Majekodunmi explained the Code�s requirements as it related to audits, which applied to Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs), proprietary departments, and other County agencies, and were independent of the County�s separate audit. He further explained that the language in the Code was clear on the requirement of a private audit, and an audit by a private auditor never took place.

Chairman Gilbert III insisted there was disagreement regarding audit requirements between the Commission Auditor, the County Administration, and himself. He highlighted it was misleading not to inform the County Commission District Commissioner about the disagreement on the audit requirements and interpretation of the ordinance.

Discussion ensued between Chairman Gilbert III and Mr. Majekodunmi regarding the interpretation of the audit provision in the Code and the required audit.
Commissioner Hardemon clarified that Mr. Majekodunmi meant the Trust did not undergo a Code-compliant audit.

Discussion ensued among the Board members regarding the interpretation of the audit requirements.

In response to Senator Garcia�s question, Mr. Book advised that this project would not diminish the current capacity or the number of beds in the shelters.

Upon conclusion of the foregoing discussion, the Board members proceeded to vote on Commissioner Higgins� motion; and the motion passed by a vote of 10-2 (Commissioners Cabrera and Cohen Higgins voted �no� ; and Commissioner Gonzalez was absent)

  REPORT: CA Bonzon-Keenan read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.

Chairman Gilbert III pointed out that these airport grant-related applications required matching funds from the airport's funds, which required no Board approval. He highlighted that the revenue source for these grant applications was the funds already in the airport�s reserves for future airport improvement projects requiring approval by this Board. He expressed concern for the Board�s inability to prioritize the use of the funds.

Discussion ensued regarding the funds used to match grant applications and the Board�s involvement in the approval of the grant applications.

Chairman Gilbert III advised that it would be helpful if the department notified the Board of the intent to apply for a grant application to determine if it was a priority for the Board.

Commissioner Bermudez concurred with the sentiment that it was important to apprise the Board of the intent to apply for a grant application to enable prioritization of the projects.

Hearing no other comments or objections, the Board members proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance as presented.

Vote: 13 - 0
  REPORT: Commissioner Bermudez advised he submitted a recommendation of a potential fourth site to the Mayor, with a copy to all the Board members, because that site should receive the same consideration as the other three (3) sites. He expressed his expectations to discuss all four (4) sites at the next committee or Board meeting.

Commissioner McGhee advised he would assume sponsorship of this resolution.

Commissioner Regalado clarified the resolution was part of the Solid Waste Management Master Plan to increase capacity. She pointed out an increase in the capacity of the solid waste facility did not mean full use of that capacity, and it only facilitated the department to negotiate better.

In response to Commissioner McGhee�s questions, Ms. Aneisha Daniel explained the resolution�s purpose for the South Dade Districts serving County Commission District 8 and 9.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner McGhee and Ms. Daniel regarding the square footage of the existing Fleet Shop located in Cutler Bay and the department�s sections that would relocate to the new facility.

Commissioner McGhee questioned the availability of bus stops surrounding the new proposed facility; and because of the unavailability of the requested information, he requested for the deferral of the resolution.

By motion duly made and seconded, the Board deferred the foregoing resolution to the September 17, 2024, pending the BCC Chair's approval.


NOTE: The foregoing resolution contained a scrivener�s error and was corrected as follows: On page 2 of the Mayor�s memorandum to correct the reference to the budget book page number from 46 to 70.


Scrivener�s error was corrected on page 2 of the Mayor�s memorandum to change the reference to the budget book page number from 46 to 70.

Vote: 13 - 0
  REPORT: Commissioner Regalado questioned the total number of water leak credits provided to residents since it represented a financial loss to the Water and Sewer Department (WASD).

Mr. Roy Coley explained the department�s three (3) policies to provide water leak credits and stated the financial loss for the year 2023 was approximately $4.5 million. He noted the figure varied from year to year, and it was between $4 million to $5 million annually.

Commissioner Regalado proposed monthly billing as a means to assist residents with financial planning, reduce departmental financial losses, and address water leak problems.

In response to Senator Garcia�s question, Mr. Coley advised that the Unexplained Bill Program was only available to Miami-Dade County�s retail customers and not to municipal governments. He pointed out wholesale customers were governed completely differently and based on the County�s costs.

Senator Garcia advised the City of Hialeah had experienced a water bill discrepancy and stated that the facts causing that discrepancy be identified to resolve the City�s problem. He pointed out that wholesale customers should have the same benefits provided to retail customers.

Senator Garcia agreed with the policy to establish a monthly water bill.

Hearing no other comments or objections, the Board members proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution as presented.

Mover: Oliver G. Gilbert, III
Seconder: Eileen Higgins
Vote: 9 - 4
No: Steinberg , Cabrera , Regalado , Garc�a
  REPORT: CA Anita Viciana read into the record the amendment proffered by Chairman Gilbert III.

Chairman Gilbert III explained the intent of the proposed amendment.

Commissioner Steinberg noted that she was unsupportive of the proffered amendment since she could not speak to the Chiefs of the municipalities she represented.

Commissioner Regalado requested that the Board also consider including a Memorandum of Transit (MOT) amenable to all.

Chairman Gilbert III objected to the inclusion of the MOT because the chiefs preferred to limit the legislation's provisions to pre-planned major events that require deployments and provisions not previously discussed with the chiefs should not be included.

Discussion ensued among the Board members regarding whether the language relating to pre-planned major events and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) addressed the issues of concern and the process to approve the request for the deployment of police officers.

Hearing no other comments or objections, the Board members proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution as amended to 1. remove all references to indemnification from the fourth and fifth recital clauses on page MDC004; 2. amend the enacting clause on pages MDC004 and MDC005 to read as follows:

�Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Board of County Commissioners of Miami-Dade County, Florida, that this Board establishes as a county policy that Miami-Dade County will not consider requests for mutual aid for voluntary cooperation and operational assistance for pre-planned voluntary major events without reimbursement of personnel costs from the requesting law enforcement agency. For pre-planned voluntary major events, a separate agreement or memorandum of understanding between Miami-Dade County and the requesting law enforcement agency shall be presented to the Board of County Commissioners for approval and after election of the Sheriff, to the elected County Sheriff with notice to the District Commissioner. Such agreement must include the approximate cost to the County for the requested personnel.� and 3. Make conforming changes to the title of the resolution.

  REPORT: Commission Regalado explained the recent Florida Housing Administration policy changes to allow the inclusion of income generated from income-producing properties to qualify for the purchase of a homestead property.

Discussion ensued among the Board members about the benefits of changing the County�s policy to meet state and federal guidelines.

Mayor Levine Cava noted that the County Administration had no opposition to allowing employees to use their accrued benefits for these opportunities, and the County Administration would support an amendment to the existing program if Commissioner Regalado wished to work on amending it.

Commissioner Regalado requested the County Attorney�s Office begin drafting an amendment to the policy as soon as feasible.

The foregoing resolution was amended to include in the report an analysis of income producing properties aligned with Federal Housing Administration (FHA) requirements.

  REPORT: Commissioner Steinberg asked if the County had a hydration policy for county-owned facilities and employees.

Mayor Levine Cava responded that WASA supplied water cisterns and cups to public events through the Water is Life Campaign to reduce the use of plastic bottles.

Commissioner Steinberg proposed adding language to explore and identify grant-funding resources.

Commissioner Bastien accepted the proffered amendment.

Commissioner Higgins strongly recommended the Miami-Dade County Building Code (the Code) mandate water fountains in buildings, particularly for commercial structures. She asked if the Code required water fountains for new building structures and stated she would like to work on a legislative item if the Code had no provision.

Hearing no other comments or objections, the Board members proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution as amended to require the County Administration to explore and identify grant-funding options.

Resolution R-772-24
Mover: Oliver G. Gilbert, III
Seconder: Sen. Rene Garcia
Vote: 11 - 1
No: Higgins
Absent: Steinberg
  REPORT: Senator Garcia agreed to amend the legislation to include neurodiversity training pursuant to the amendment proffered by Commissioner Regalado.

Commissioner Higgins stated her intent to vote against the item because she disagreed with establishing a policy to provide tax incentives or refunds to local businesses offering customer service training. She pointed out good customer service was a necessity to be successful, and it was not government�s role to provide this type of training.

Commissioner Higgins suggested the County should establish a policy requiring organizations wishing to participate in the Mom & Pop Grant Program to show proof of offering customer service training.

Chairman Gilbert III commented that the Florida Legislature normally approved urgings relating to tax relief. He pointed out the State normally approved tax incentives and reductions on taxes collected by the County, which were normally addressed through mileage rate increases. He pointed out such a policy would ultimately affect the County's residents and increase taxes. Therefore, the Board needed to consider the unintended consequences of diminishing revenues and the effect on services.

Senator Garcia commented the resolution offered an incentive to encourage businesses to provide training to improve the deterioration of customer service.

Hearing no other comments or objections, the Board members proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution as amended to include neurodiversity training.
