Gilbert, III Vote: 10 - 1 No: McGhee Excused: Higgins , Gonzalez
	REPORT: CA Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed resolution into the record and noted that Commissioner Cohen Higgins had proffered an amendment to require TAF SDGC, LLC, as Tenant, to set aside a minimum of ten (10) percent of the housing developed on the County�s property for low-income households, whose incomes did not exceed 80 percent of area median income, and after 30 years, such units shall be rented to households whose incomes do not exceed 120 percent of area median income; and to delete all references in the Lease and Development Agreement, attached to the resolution as Exhibit 1, related to the minimum unit sizes of the affordable housing rental units to be developed on the County property. Chairman Gilbert III opened the public hearing. There being no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Bermudez confirmed with the County Attorney�s Office (CAO) that the property was County-owned and inquired about its value. Ms. Matas explained the property, consisted of over seven (7) acres of underutilized parking on the south side of the South Dade Government Center, was valued at $15 million. She further explained that the tenant would make an initial $6 million contribution to the housing project and subsequently pay rent once the project was completed and generating cash flow. Commissioner Bermudez expressed support for the item but raised concerns about a Miami-Dade Animal Services (Animal Services) trailer currently operating on the property and asked where it would be relocated. Commissioner Bermudez requested that an Animal Services facility be included within the property being leased to TAF SDGC. Senator Garcia asked how the project would address affordable housing and requested clarification on the average median income (AMI) so residents could determine their eligibility for housing in the project. Mr. Ballina explained the County's AMI was $79,400 and noted for this project's workforce housing component at 120% AMI, the maximum qualifying incomes would be $95,400 for one-person households and $108,960 for two-person households. He reported maximum rents would be $2,554 for one-bedroom units and $3,063 for two-bedroom units. Chairman Gilbert III clarified the item included both workforce and affordable housing, with 10% set aside specifically for affordable housing. He explained the rationale for using AMI as the income indicator, noting it provides a consistent and adjustable standard. Following Mr. Ballina�s review of the adjusted lower AMI thresholds and corresponding rents, Senator Garcia expressed support for the item, but stated there should be a higher percentage of affordable housing in the project. Mr. Ballina informed Senator Garcia that there was a legal limit of 10% for affordable housing permitted in this type of development. Ms. Matas added that the definition of affordability was strictly based on Florida statute. Chairman Gilbert III noted there was no market rate component in the agreement with the tenant and expressed his support for the item, indicating this was significant for addressing housing affordability through increased supply. Commissioner Bastien indicated her support but concurred with Senator Garcia that more needed to be done to address affordable housing throughout the County. Commissioner Bastien questioned the necessity of the 30-year cap in Commissioner Cohen Higgins' amendment and proposed removing the cap entirely, or alternatively, if it could not be removed. She added that the cap should be assessed and reviewed before it expired after 30 years. She emphasized that the development should include environmentally friendly infrastructure and technology to address climate change and reduce gentrification pressures in the County. Commissioner Bastien also expressed concern that TAF SDGC needed to hold more meetings with residents about the project to ensure adequate community input. Commissioner Regalado proposed an amendment to set aside 30% of the developed housing units for County employees with a right of first refusal for 60 days, and provide workforce housing opportunities for public servants. Commissioner Cohen Higgins accepted Commissioner Regalado's proposed amendment and confirmed the tenant had agreed to these terms. Addressing Commissioner Bastien's concerns about the amendment, Commissioner Cohen Higgins acknowledged the development would be constructed to the highest environmental and sustainability standards, and meet green building requirements. Regarding the request to increase affordable housing percentages, Commissioner Cohen Higgins explained that the development was fully funded privately without any government subsidies, making it unique among affordable housing projects. She stated that the 10% set-aside for affordable housing with the 30-year cap represented the best concession the tenant could provide while maintaining financial viability for the project. Commissioner Cohen Higgins emphasized several key benefits: the development would provide workforce and affordable housing to residents for 99 years under the lease term; the County would retain ownership of the land and profit from rent payments throughout the lease period; the tenant was contractually obligated to meet with residents about the project and would continue community engagement as development progressed. She also detailed the profit-sharing provisions designed to ensure project completion: the County would receive 50% of any profits if the tenant attempted to sell or package the project before completion, which served as a deterrent against abandonment. Commissioner Regalado suggested the tenant should contact County department directors directly when housing units became available for the employee preference program. Chairman Gilbert III clarified this coordination would be handled by the Administration or through the County departments' human resources divisions to ensure proper process and fairness. Senator Garcia asked whether the land could be sold by TAF SDGC. Chairman Gilbert III reiterated that the land was County-owned property and the company could not sell it under any circumstances. Mayor Levine Cava concurred and elaborated that if the tenant attempted to sell or transfer the lease rights, half of any benefit or profit would automatically revert to the County as protection for the public interest. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote to on the foregoing resolution as amended.

Gilbert, III Seconder: Marleine Bastien Vote: 11 - 0 Excused: Higgins , Gonzalez
	REPORT: Commissioner Bermudez inquired about the status of BAC Funding Corporation's (BAC) mixed-use affordable housing project on County-owned property. He noted that the lease agreement was executed in December 2021 and questioned whether construction had commenced or permits had been pulled. Mr. Eric Singer, an attorney with Bilzin Sumberg representing BAC Funding Corporation, explained that the item before the Board was an amendment to Phase One (1) of a two-phase project on a five-acre site that BAC had been leasing since the early 1980s for its non-profit office operations. He stated that Phase 1, a townhome project on two acres, was on track with construction scheduled to begin in February 2025. Mr. Singer explained that through the design process, which required platting to separate the site into two parcels, the team realized Phase Two (2), the mixed-use project subject to the current amendment, also required redesign. This was the fundamental reason for the requested modification and the decision to proceed with Phase 1 first, followed by Phase 2. Commissioner Bermudez expressed support for the item, but raised broader concerns about continuing to provide County-owned land to developers without ensuring timely and responsive action by the entities receiving these opportunities. He asked whether the Administration maintained a list tracking the status of such projects, including reasons for any delays, emphasizing that his concern applied regardless of whether the developer was large or small, and noting he wanted this information for all districts, not just his own. Mayor Levine Cava confirmed that the Administration maintained a list and offered to have staff provide details. She indicated that staff could speak about the tracking system, and that Mr. Ballina had been facilitating the specific BAC project. Commissioner Bermudez indicated he did not need the detailed information immediately but wanted confirmation that a tracking system existed. He stated his intention to eventually propose codifying such tracking requirements and requested that all Commissioners have access to this information, not just the district commissioner. Commissioner Bermudez emphasized the importance of effectiveness and efficiency in ensuring projects were completed in a timely manner, and if they were not, then explore other opportunities. Mayor Levine Cava acknowledged the shared concerns and noted that, at the Board's direction several years prior, reverter provisions had been strengthened for residential projects, though similar mechanisms might not exist for commercial projects, suggesting this would be a productive topic for discussion. There being no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the proposed resolution, as presented.

Rene Garcia Seconder: Raquel A. Regalado Vote: 10 - 0 Absent: Rodriguez Excused: Higgins , Gonzalez
	REPORT: Senator Garcia requested an explanation for the proposed $8 million expenditure to Black & Veatch (Black & Veatch) Corporation for design services related to the County's wastewater treatment facilities. Mr. Coley explained that since 2008, State law had required the County to reuse 60 percent of its wastewater, but a 2013 County plan failed to achieve compliance. He noted that when he joined the department in 2021, resolving this non-compliance issue became a priority directive from Mayor Levine Cava. Mr. Coley reported, after soliciting innovative solutions from engineers, that Black & Veatch, already under a competitively procured contract, proposed installing energy recovery systems at the County's three (3) wastewater treatment plants, which was approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. He noted the $8 million would fund design services for these systems, which would generate over 100 million gallons of reused water daily, bringing the County into full compliance and establishing it as a leader in industrial water reuse on the eastern seaboard. There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

	RESOLUTION APPROVING ADDITIONAL TIME OF FIVE YEARS AND EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY UP TO $8,900,000.00 FOR A TOTAL MODIFIED POOL AMOUNT OF $15,452,000.00 FOR PREQUALIFICATION POOL NO. RTQ-01286 FOR DELL HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, CLOUD SOLUTIONS, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, MAINTENANCE & SUPPORT FOR THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT ON BEHALF OF MULTIPLE COUNTY DEPARTMENTS; PROVIDED THAT ANY CONTRACT AWARD UNDER THE POOL EXCEEDING $5,000,000.00 IS RATIFIED BY THE BOARD(Strategic Procurement)			Amended
	REPORT: Senator Garcia raised concerns about the administration of procurement pools, referencing the County's problematic track record with previous pool contracts. He asked whether departments were obtaining the required number of quotes, how vendor participation was being monitored, whether all vendors were receiving equitable business opportunities, how price competitiveness was being tracked, and whether unit costs were known for procured items. Ms. Uppal explained that once the Board approved pool items, each department administered its own coding and bidding processes. She stated that under the Mayor's direction, all departments had been required to use a single system, the Integrated Financial Resources Management System (INFORMS), for transparency and monitoring purposes, replacing previous inconsistent methods such as email and fax. Ms. Uppal clarified that when a pool contained 10 vendors, quotes must be solicited from all 10, not just three (3). Ms. Uppal noted that a dashboard had been created which allowed Commissioners to review unit pricing and vendor awards, and stated the department planned to work with Audit and Management Services to develop an audit process to validate compliance, though she believed departments were following proper procedures. She emphasized that the County was receiving competitive pricing through the pools. Senator Garcia acknowledged the explanation but noted it was similar to information provided during previous pool controversies. He moved to amend the foregoing item along with Agenda Items 8P5, 8P12, and 8P13 to direct the Office of the Commission Auditor to audit these procurement pools to ensure proper procedures were being followed. It was moved by Senator Garcia that the foregoing proposed resolution be adopted, as amended. This motion was seconded by Commissioner McGhee and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 10-0 (Vice Chairman Rodriguez and Commissioners Gonzalez and Higgins were absent). The amended version of this Resolution has been assigned Resolution No. R-866-24.

Gilbert, III Vote: 10 - 0 Absent: Rodriguez Excused: Higgins , Gonzalez
	REPORT: Commissioner McGhee noted an increase in procurement items coming before the Board through non-competitive purchase processes, including non-competitive designated purchases and non-competitive legacy purchases. Expressing concern that these might become standard practice, he requested Ms. Uppal differentiate between the three (3) types of non-competitive procurement methods. Ms. Uppal acknowledged the various reasons for non-competitive purchases but first referenced a July 2024 report produced at the request of Senator Garcia and Chairman Gilbert III. She emphasized that despite the appearance of numerous non-competitive items on agendas, 95 percent of County dollars were awarded through competitive processes, with only five (5) percent, awarded non-competitively. Ms. Uppal explained that different circumstances justified non-competitive awards. She noted Agenda Items 8P4 and 8P11, for example, involved proprietary systems already in place where the County had made significant investments and the choice was either to discontinue these systems entirely, which would incur substantial sunk costs, or to continue maintaining them until the end of their useful life. Ms. Uppal noted that one system would eventually be replaced with a competitively procured solution being acquired by WASD. Regarding Agenda Item 8P9, which had been discussed in committee, Ms. Uppal explained that only one bid was received for cryogenic maintenance services needed by WASD, a niche market with limited providers. She stated the bidder had initially taken exceptions to contract terms, which the CAO deemed made them non-responsive. Rather than rejecting the proposal and rebidding, staff worked with the vendor, who withdrew all conditions, which allowed the award to proceed. Ms. Uppal concluded that the department conducted thorough due diligence on what made financial and operational sense for the County before bringing forward non-competitive award recommendations. Based on the explanation, Commissioner McGhee withdrew his pull on Items 8P8, 8P9, 8P11, and 8P15. There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the proposed resolution, as presented, along with Agenda Items 8P8, 8P9, 8P11, and 8P15, simultaneously.

	REPORT: Commissioner McGee noted that when this item previously appeared before committee, the original request sought a non-competitive award. He observed that the item had since returned with modifications based on committee discussions and requested clarification on the revised language. Mr. Coley explained that biosolids disposal services had been provided through a vendor pool, but when state requirements changed, pool vendors stopped performing reliably, causing biosolids to accumulate at treatment facilities. Chairman Gilbert III redirected the discussion to address Commissioner McGee's specific question about the amended language. ACA Davis clarified that the revised resolution provided for a one-year term valued at $16 million, plus a one-year renewal option for up to an additional $16 million, which could only be exercised with majority Board approval, totaling a maximum of $32 million rather than the original $64 million. Commissioner McGhee requested confirmation that the fiscal impact language in the backup material would be superseded by the revised resolution language. ACA Davis confirmed this was correct. There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the proposed resolution, as presented.

	REPORT: Commissioner Bermudez inquired about the anticipated cost of implementing a pilot program for electric leaf blowers in County parks and facilities, referencing significant cost increases experienced by vendors in the Village of Pinecrest (Pinecrest) when transitioning from gas-powered to electric equipment. Ms. Nardi stated that cost projections were not yet available but would be included in the forthcoming feasibility study and report. Commissioner Bermudez requested that cost analysis be incorporated into the feasibility study, emphasizing that while the County sought to pursue environmentally beneficial initiatives, the fiscal impact on both the County and its residents needed consideration. Commissioner Steinberg noted that data from other municipalities, including the City of Miami Beach and Pinecrest, showed that while upfront costs existed, they typically equalized over a two-year period. She expressed hope the County's study would reflect similar findings. There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

Gilbert, III Seconder: Sen. Rene Garcia Vote: 11 - 0 Excused: Higgins , Gonzalez
	REPORT: Commissioner Bermudez proposed an amendment to add Sun City Strategies, LLC to the list of firms approved for governmental representation and consulting services before the executive and legislative branches of the State of Florida, in addition to the nine (9) firms recommended by the selection committee in response to RFQ No. EVN0008128. Chairman Gilbert III declined to accept the amendment, explaining that the item reflected the selection committee's deliberations and the proposed budgets from the recommended firms exceeded available funding, requiring further negotiations. He stated that adding another firm at this stage would complicate budget negotiations and suggested Commissioner Bermudez either make a separate motion or bring forward standalone legislation to add Sun City Strategies. Commissioner Bermudez questioned why the CAO had advised him that proposing an amendment was the appropriate procedure. Executive Assistant County Attorney McCarty clarified that an amendment was one available option and offered to explore other approaches with the Commissioner. Commissioner Bermudez asked Chairman Gilbert III if he would accept a separate motion to add Sun City Strategies. Chairman Gilbert III responded that such a motion, if adopted, would serve as a directive to him, the Administration, and the CAO to negotiate with all firms. He indicated his goal was to present final negotiations with firm selections and budgets at the next Board meeting and recommended a resolution format to include necessary background information on Sun City Strategies. Commissioner Bermudez agreed to prepare legislation adding Sun City Strategies for consideration at the October 16, 2024 Board meeting. Senator Garcia expressed support for including Sun City Strategies, noting the firm had worked for the County in Tallahassee and had been subcontractors to many existing firms. He questioned why proposed budget amounts were attached to each firm if negotiations were ongoing. Chairman Gilbert III explained that the listed amounts represented the firms' initial proposals, which required negotiation to align with the available budget. He noted the selection committee had recommended more firms than originally anticipated, necessitating streamlining and potential budget reductions. Commissioner Hardemon proposed striking Ackerman, LLP from the recommended list to create budget flexibility for other firms. Chairman Gilbert III indicated this could be addressed during final negotiations. Chairman Gilbert III explained that the County's lobbying needs had evolved and required firms with different capabilities and relationships than currently retained. He emphasized that the County often found itself opposing private business interests in legislative matters and needed to be competitive in its representation. Chairman Gilbert III noted the budget had been addressed in the previous and current fiscal years, and after several months of extensions, the County needed to finalize these agreements. Senator Garcia requested that performance benchmarks and metrics be incorporated into the final contracts to measure the firms' output and effectiveness, and noted the County's significant investment warranted measurable results. Chairman Gilbert III acknowledged the request, stating that while success in lobbying was not always linear, benchmarks could be formalized in the contracts. He also emphasized the need to better coordinate lobbyists with Commissioners who traveled to Tallahassee, as the elected officials' direct engagement was often more effective than lobbyists alone. Chairman Gilbert III indicated similar improvements had already been implemented at the federal level and would be applied to state-level intergovernmental relations. There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the proposed resolution, as presented.

	DISCUSSION REGARDING GREATER MIAMI EXPRESSWAY AGENCY (GMX)			Presented
	REPORT: CA Bonzon-Keenan read a motion by Commissioner Cabrera directing the County Attorney to take no further action in the litigation concerning the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX) and the Greater Miami Expressway Agency (GMX) pending further direction by the Board. Chairman Gilbert III opened the reasonable opportunity to be heard and the following person appeared before the Board: City of Sweetwater Mayor Jos� �Pepe� Diaz serving as MDX Board Chairman, addressed the Board. He noted that MDX was created by the people of the County, had operated profitably and efficiently through seven (7) audits without discrepancies, and was subsequently taken over by the State of Florida (State). Mayor Diaz requested that MDX be permitted to continue its legal efforts on behalf of the County, acknowledging the Board's exhaustion with the prolonged litigation, while urging continued support for the matter. There being no other persons appearing to speak, Chairman Gilbert III closed the reasonable opportunity to be heard. Commissioner Cabrera explained that after consulting with the CAO, he believed ending the litigation was in the County's best interest. He reported having worked closely with Florida House Speaker-designate Daniel Perez and GMX officials, who provided assurances that the County's Home Rule Charter would be respected, all current and pending MDX projects would be completed, and all funds generated within Miami-Dade County would remain in the County. He indicated that GMX was simultaneously passing a motion reiterating these commitments. Senator Garcia seconded Commissioner Cabrera�s motion to take no further action in the litigation. In response to Commissioner Bermudez�s procedural questions about MDX's structure and the litigation, ACA Valdes clarified that the Board made appointments to MDX, the State originally permitted the County to create MDX, and the disputed roadways were state roads; a factor the Circuit Court considered when ruling that MDX should be disbanded. He explained that MDX had five (5) appointed members: two with three-year terms and three with four-year terms, though specific expiration dates would require consultation with MDX to determine. Chairman Gilbert III halted detailed litigation discussion given the ongoing nature of the case. Discussion ensued between Commissioners Bermudez and Cabrera regarding the motion to take no further action in the litigation. Commissioner Bermudez emphasized the importance of protecting the Home Rule Charter. Commissioner Cabrera reiterated that GMX had voted to ensure all agency-generated funds would be used exclusively for County roadway improvements or expansions, had acknowledged the litigation did not affect Home Rule, would continue MDX-initiated projects, and would collaborate with the Board on appointments and operational adjustments. Senator Garcia opined that it was time to move past the litigation, which had consumed significant County resources and time. He questioned whether prior Board votes regarding MDX and the litigation had violated any laws. ACA Valdes confirmed that Board members had discretionary voting authority. Chairman Gilbert III clarified that such votes were for discretionary items that were legally permissible and defensible. Commissioner Regalado recommended an amendment directing the County Attorney to enter into settlement negotiations with GMX rather than simply ceasing litigation. Commissioner Bermudez asked whether MDX could independently appeal any decision made during the meeting or through a settlement. CA Bonzon-Keenan confirmed MDX retained that ability. ACA Attorney Valdes noted that appeals could be filed until October 25, 2024. Following ACA Valdes� explanation that dismantling MDX would require an ordinance, Commissioner Regalado commented that a multi-step process was necessary before MDX could be dismantled, including settling the litigation. She stressed the need for a legal document memorializing all representations made by GMX. Chairman Gilbert III supported the discussion of Commissioner Cabrera's motion but expressed concern about any motion to dismantle MDX during the current meeting, noting such action would require proper public notice. In response to Commissioner Cabrera�s comments that the primary litigation was between MDX and GMX, ACA Valdes clarified that the County was included as a necessary party because the case involved the validity of a County ordinance. Chairman Gilbert III voiced his support for Commissioner Regalado�s proffered amendment to direct the CAO to enter into settlement negotiations with GMX. Commissioner Cabrera accepted the proposed amendment. Chairman Gilbert III also supported a settlement agreement that included the terms mentioned by Commissioner Cabrera, which included the continuance of MDX projects and the recognition of the County�s Home Rule Charter. CA Bonzon-Keenan summarized the motion: to direct the County Attorney to negotiate a settlement agreement memorializing Commissioner Cabrera's stated terms and take no further action in the litigation pending further Board direction. She indicated the CAO would report back if a settlement was reached and suggested designating a Board liaison to facilitate discussions. Commissioner Bermudez advised that GMX�s pending vote should be memorialized. Commissioner Regalado suggested that all pending MDX projects needed timelines for completion and added that her amendment should designate Commissioner Cabrera to negotiate with GMX on behalf of the Board. Commissioner Cohen Higgins supported Commissioner Cabrera�s motion and the amendment, but noted that the settlement agreement should include protection for both agencies� employees whose employment was terminated by the agencies during the litigation. Chairman Gilbert III cautioned that including broad negotiation terms would make reaching agreement by the October 25, 2024 deadline difficult. He noted that the County had already rehired some displaced employees. Commissioner Regalado proposed that negotiations should include determining responsibility for all pending MDX debts, which would encompass employee-related issues. In response to Commissioner Bermudez�s question if former MDX employees could file litigation against GMX, ACA Valdes confirmed they could pursue legal action, but such litigation would not involve the County. After extended discussion, Chairman Gilbert proposed simplifying the approach by designating Commissioner Cabrera to negotiate the litigation with GMX and draft legislation presenting the negotiation results at the October 16, 2024 Board meeting. At Chairman Gilbert's III suggestion, Commissioner Cabrera withdrew his original motion to take no further action in the litigation. Chairman Gilbert's III motion to designate Commissioner Cabrera as negotiator was seconded by Commissioner Regalado. Commissioner Bermudez sought confirmation that Commissioner Cabrera would return with negotiation results at the October 16, 2024 Board meeting. Chairman Gilbert III confirmed that Commissioner Cabrera would work with the CAO and Administration on the matter. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board voted to designate Commissioner Cabrera as negotiator, and upon being put to a vote, the motion passed 11-0 (Commissioners Gonzalez and Higgins were absent).
