REPORT:
Vice Chairman Rodriguez and Commissioners Bastien, Cabrera, Cohen Higgins, and Steinberg asked to be added as co-sponsors.
CA Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.
Chairman Gilbert III, opened the public hearing; and the following persons appeared before the Board in support of the foregoing proposed ordinance:
1. Ms. Lourdes Abadin, First Vice Chair for Commission For Women, 3756 Irvington Avenue, Miami, Florida, suggested the parental leave be increased to 12 weeks.
2. Mr. Yohany Albornoz, 3701 Estepona Avenue, Coral Gables, Florida
Seeing no other persons appear wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
In response to Commissioner Bermudez�s questions relating to the countywide impact of the ordinance, Chairman Gilbert, III, explained it would affect the budget if the employee chose to cash out available leave because employees� salaries were budgeted on an annual basis. Therefore, it would be difficult to quantify it.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins commented on the importance of granting this type of leave to parents. She stated the policy should be for 12 weeks rather than six weeks.
Commissioner Bastien commented on the ordinance�s lasting positive effects and the emotional connection it would create between children and their parents.
Hearing no other comments or objections, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance as presented.

REPORT:
CA Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.
Chairman Gilbert III, opened the public hearing; and seeing no one appear wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
In response to Commissioner Bermudez�s question, Commissioner Hardemon explained the legislation�s intent. He clarified the ordinance would revise the Board�s Rules of Procedure to change the circumstances under which commissioners may take a separate vote on any part of the proposed budget to avoid having to contemplate issues undeserving of the Board's consideration to ensure efficiency.
Commissioner Regalado voiced her support for Commissioner Hardemon�s viewpoint.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins voiced her objection to the proposed change because it required an affirmative vote of a majority of the commissioners present at the meeting. She highlighted that it would force the commissioner making the request to bifurcate a part of the proposed budget to vote against the entire item if the motion was unsuccessful and may cause the entire budget item to fail, and it would cause the Board to lose the ability to bifurcate sections of a budget item. She said that, she believed, the legislation would not achieve Commissioner Hardemon's goal.
Discussion ensued among the Board members regarding the reasons and merits of the proposed change to the Board�s procedure.
Chairman Gilbert, III, voiced his support for the proposed change since he was unsupportive of allowing a singular commissioner to invoke a rule limiting the entire governing body and controlling what was before the dais. He highlighted he supported the discussion of issues because that was the core of proper legislative discourse in a legislative body, and the request to separate any part of a budget item for a vote should have a second because it could become a problem if all commissioners exercised the option to bifurcate when disagreeing with an issue. He stated that, he believed, the proposed change would not make a difference because a motion to bifurcate would most likely pass since they were a collegial body.
Hearing no other comments or objections, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance as presented.

Chairman Gilbert III, opened the public hearing; and seeing no one appear wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Bermudez proffered an amendment requiring a quarterly report rather than bi-annually.
Commissioner Higgins stated that the Strategic Procurement Department (SPD) informed her there would be inadequate data available to prepare the first quarter report and proposed amending the item after a year contingent on the Board�s satisfaction with the reports. She noted the information was readily accessible in a database and extractable if needed.
Hearing no other comments or objections, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance as presented.

REPORT:
CA Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed resolution into the record.
Chairman Gilbert III, opened the public hearing; and the following persons appeared before the Board in support of the foregoing proposed resolution:
1. Mr. David Castrillon, 20000 NW 47th Avenue, Miami, Florida
2. Ms. Silvia Smith Torres, 6351 Lake Champlain Terrace, Miami, Florida
3. Ms. Animily Feliz, 1900 SW 75th Avenue, Miami, Florida
4. Ms. Amy Boulris, 600 Brickell Avenue, Suite 3500, Miami, Florida
5. Mr. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, 600 Brickell Avenue, Suite 3500, Miami, Florida
6. Ms. Dolores Dunn, 500 NE 58th Street, Miami, Florida
7. Ms. Michelle Prescott (address exempt )
Seeing no other persons appear wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
ACA Debra Herman announced that Chairman Gilbert III, moved to amend the foregoing resolution as follows:
1. To delegate additional authority to the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to negotiate and finalize the job salary requirement terms and corresponding liquidated damages provisions in the Amended Lease, provided that:
2. All job salaries must meet annually the greater of the then-Living Wage, or $39,800 in 2024, and as adjusted by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) every year thereafter; and
3. Liquidated damages for failure to meet the job requirement in any year shall be no less than $8,000 per job deficiency for each of the first five years of the 15-year job-reporting period, $9,600 per job deficiency for each of years five through ten, and $11,500 per job deficiency for each of years ten through fifteen.
This motion was seconded by Commissioner Bermudez, and the floor was opened for discussion.
Commissioner Bermudez highlighted the resolution offered a key opportunity to expand, develop, and protect His House and the Center for Family and Child Enrichment (CFCE), two organizations with a history of remarkable service to our community�s most vulnerable population. He also expressed appreciation for the individuals that were helping to provide housing in that area of the County.
In response to Senator Garcia's question about the building's size for His House, Chairman Gilbert III explained the prior project's liquidated damages were included in the current project's cost. He noted that the County Attorney�s Office and the developer had worked together to determine the figures.
Dr. Carladenise Edwardsclarified the original lease required the previous developer to assume a portion of the costs of relocating the non-profit homes, and the costs were incorporated into the current agreement. She advised the current developer would assist by providing financing for the relocations.
Chairman Gilbert III, advised the County would contribute $7.7 million if they were to remain onsite and $14.5 for offsite for His House.
In response to Senator Garcia�s concerns, Dr.. Edwards further explained the options available to the organizations, noting CFCE had identified a different site to relocate. She indicated the first option was to have the developer contribute a maximum of 50% plus financing if the organizations relocated, contingent on the organizations securing funding for the balance difference. She stated the second option was to have the developer build a new facility on the current leased site with cash funding and financing, and the third option was to remain in the current location if the first two options were unsuccessful. She advised the County Administration was very confident the organizations would be able to secure financing with the developer�s support and make the financial contributions that would enable them to accept new residents.
Chairman Gilbert III stated the negotiations were tedious and very challenging to have them reach a mutual agreement and altering any of the terms would affect the entire agreement. He emphasized the state and federal governments should be the responsible entities for funding children services rather than the County and pointed out the County was making considerable efforts to fund them from its General Fund account.
Senator Garcia objected to the minimum acreage requirement since he wished to ensure His House could continue providing all its current social services to the children regardless of state and federal funding availability. He asked that the developer assist His House with financing opportunities for the project and identify a better development solution that would add a minimum of two (2) acres to increase the playground size.
Senator Garcia voiced his concern about the legislation�s impact on the delivery of services to children and his wish to ensure His House could continue to provide adequate and all of its current services to the children.
Chairman Gilbert III, indicated his willingness to retract the proposed legislation should the Board choose another path. He stated that he would reject a motion to increase the required acreage if Senator Garcia were to make that motion since it would affect the project�s development costs and contractual terms. He noted that the size of the acreage made the negotiations between the parties very difficult to reach a mutual agreement. He highlighted he preferred to allow the legislative item to die if the proposed agreement�s terms were altered and would draft another legislative item.
Discussion ensued between Chairman Gilbert III, and Senator Garcia regarding the negotiations.
Discussion ensued among the Board members, the County Administration, Mr. Juan Mas, the developer, and Ms. Amy Boulris regarding increasing the acreage size for the facility for His House and financing the cost.
Senator Garcia reiterated his concerns regarding the acreage requirement to build the facility for His House. He asked Mr. Mas to look into his heart and prioritize the needs of these children. He urged Mr. Mas to increase the acreage size and assist with obtaining the needed financing.
Mr. Mas stated that the project is currently undergoing a continuous design process. He mentioned that a multi-level building design, requiring less land than the original single-level design, could replace the current building design while still adhering to Code restrictions. He emphasized his commitment to collaborating with His House to reach a mutually agreeable design.
Furthermore, Mr. Mas indicated that they had been working collaboratively with the County to develop a comprehensive design approach for the facility to meet the needs of both the district and the community, including recreational and entertainment components. He stated that he had made substantial funding commitments to less efficient land projects, incorporating affordable housing, to prioritize economic development.
Mr. Mas clarified that the goal was to make the project successful without causing harm to anyone. Additionally, Mr. Mas expressed his strong advocacy for children and his active participation in various children's causes.
Senator Garcia commented that these children deserve better, and this project offered an opportunity to develop the subject area and support the most vulnerable population.
Mayor Levine Cava commented that this project was a personal passion for her. She mentioned her involvement in finalizing the first deal when former Commissioner Jordan committed to securing full funding for this organization. She acknowledged and thanked all parties involved in the negotiations for their efforts, especially Chairman Gilbert III, for honoring the commitments made in the past. She recognized Senator Garcia for his work with His House and CFCE; and as a social worker, she emphasized her responsibility to ensure the very best for these organizations. She noted that, she believed, the County had achieved the best possible outcome.
Senator Garcia voiced his dissatisfaction with the outcome of the negotiations because the County was only offering the bare minimum for the most vulnerable children population and failing to provide the best for them.
In response to Senator Garcia, Mr. Mas confirmed that he would work and modify all project components, where it made sense, for the benefit of His House and CFCE.
Chairman Gilbert III clarified that the County and developer had sacrificed extraordinary financial opportunities to negotiate the terms of the proposed agreement, including the development of a government center, to accommodate His House. He clarified the needed acreage size to build the facility was recommended by His House and both organizations agreed to the proposed contract terms. He pointed out their rent would increase if the acreage sized increased, and all circumstances and concerns were taken into consideration to achieve a balanced outcome. He explained the County and developer worked collaboratively for three years with the organizations to improve the remarkably deplorable existing living conditions.
Hearing no other questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as amended to delegate additional authority to the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to negotiate and finalize the job salary requirement terms and corresponding liquidated damages provisions in the Amended Lease, provided that all job salaries must meet annually the greater of the then-Living Wage, or $39,800 in 2024, and as adjusted by the CPI every year thereafter; and liquidated damages for failure to meet the job requirement in any year shall be no less than $8,000 per job deficiency for each of the first five years of the 15-year job-reporting period, $9,600 per job deficiency for each of years five through ten, and $11,500 per job deficiency for each of years ten through fifteen.

REPORT:
Vice Chairman Rodriguez and Commissioner Gonzalez asked to be listed as co-sponsors.
Chairman Gilbert III, explained his �no� vote, citing that requesting exemptions from the State's new building maintenance provisions would be detrimental.
Commissioner Regalado agreed with Chairman Gilbert III, on his perspective and the necessity of addressing this matter. She explained some of the new requirements and the County�s programs to provide financial assistance to condominium owners. She recommended the County identify other available avenues to assist condominium owners that the State was not considering.
Commissioner Regalado suggested the County should urge the State to take a position on Biscayne 21 and that the County submit recommendations to the State.
Discussion ensued among the Board members regarding the Surfside building collapse, the problems with condominium buildings, State regulations, and recommendations set forth.
Hearing no other comments or objections, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as presented.

Chairman Gilbert III explained that the reason for deferring the foregoing legislation was to provide the County Administration additional time to review two available site options that would be more appealing to more commissioners.
Commissioner Bermudez expressed his support for the deferral and opposed the construction of the waste-to-energy facility in the City of Doral (the City). He noted that the proposed meeting to discuss all waste-related options did not take place. Additionally, he emphasized the City had already taken a stance that the Board should consider.
City of Doral Attorney Lorenzo Cobiella stated that he and Mr. Morales had been meeting weekly to discuss important issues. He noted that the City recently passed a resolution setting a maximum contribution of $40 million for the waste-to-energy facility spread over 30 to 35 years. He acknowledged that earlier discussions had included the possibility of a transfer station. Mr. Cobiella emphasized the City�s desire to collaborate with the County Administration to identify an appropriate location, as this decision would affect all County residents. He recommended that the County conduct a comprehensive analysis of all potential sites.
Commissioner Regalado requested that the Board hold a special meeting to review the master plan and discuss all aspects of constructing a waste-to-energy facility before choosing a site. She also suggested that the Board seek public feedback prior to making any final decisions.
Chairman Gilbert III stated that finding a funding balance for the facility proved difficult, and the Board felt that a $40 million contribution over 30 years was inadequate. Therefore, two other options were also under consideration.
Discussion ensued among the Board members regarding the challenges encountered before making a decision and the financial model options available for the City.
Commissioner Higgins urged all municipal representatives to review and compute their municipality's annual incremental cost. She explained some of the annual collection and associated fees.
Mr. Morales explained the discussions with the City�s representatives included the Town of Medley as a potential site, several additional sites, and cost-related issues. He clarified the County Administration held off on the decision until after the election to have the newly elected officials participate in the decision-making process.
Mayor Levine Cava advised that the County recently launched a website to clarify misconceptions disseminated in the community, and the website address was https://miamidade.gov/sustainable-solid-waste.
Commissioner Regalado explained the County could use this as an opportunity to create a separate, independent funding source for solid waste and detailed the mechanism.
Commissioner Bermudez highlighted the population difference between the City of Doral and larger municipalities in the County, noting the County should ensure equal assessment of costs.
Responding to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� inquiry, Mr. Cobiella replied that the City wished to contribute fully while preserving its services. He explained the City�s Charter precluded the City from holding a meeting until an election was certified, and the City Administration and himself were delegated temporary authority to address this matter.
Hearing no other comments or objections, the Board proceeded to vote on the deferral motion of the foregoing resolution to the December 3, 2024, Board of County Commissioners� (BCC) meeting.

REPORT:
Chairman Gilbert III, provided a brief background history on the City of Miami Beach Interlocal Cooperation Agreement (Interlocal Agreement) between Miami-Dade County, the City of Miami Beach (City), and the Miami Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). He stated that the agreement included placing on the City�s ballot a proposal to establish a one percent (1%) food and beverage tax on the City�s businesses to provide additional funding for the Miami-Dade Homeless Continuum of Care. Subsequently, the newly elected officials rescinded the tax proposal from the ballot; and the question was whether the new commissioners were aware of the Interlocal Agreement before deleting the tax proposal from the ballot.
Chairman Gilbert III, expressed his lack of preference for any specific funding mechanism for homeless initiatives and his desire to explore alternative funding options rather than using the North Beach CRA funds. He recommended reviewing all available options before making a decision. He warned that, without reconsidering the CRA at today's (11/6) meeting to reopen the Interlocal Agreement, the County's only option was to use the North Beach CRA funds.
Chairman Gilbert III, stated he would request establishing a higher mileage rate to fund homeless services if additional funds were unavailable because the General Fund account was the fallback funding source. He noted the County was unprepared to fund homelessness from its General Fund account and expected the City to contribute.
Commissioner Steinberg advised she would like to defer the foregoing legislation since she had been unaware of the existence of an Interlocal Agreement, the lack of representation from members of the North Beach community, and the insufficiency of funds in the North Beach CRA. She commented on her past and current support for homelessness, but she needed additional time to conduct due diligence since the City failed to provide her with a copy of the Interlocal Agreement when asked. She stated she would welcome the discussion at the Board�s next meeting for transparency.
Chairman Gilbert III, noted the City had stated their interest in funding homelessness initiatives and failed to translate that interest into action. He mentioned the necessity of securing funds because the County must address the financial shortfalls for the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust (Homeless Trust) in 2025. He pointed out the purpose of the North Beach CRA was to fill those financial gaps, but it was not the preferred funding source because it had insufficient funds. He reiterated the Board would not have another opportunity to reconsider the CRA�s Interlocal Agreement after today�s (11/6) meeting, and the North Beach CRA would remain as the sole funding source.
Commissioner Higgins said the Board should consider other issues besides the North Beach CRA before deciding how to proceed. She explained that the Homeless Trust's $4 million homelessness expenditure comprised $2.7 million in grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), where the City acted as a sub-grantee. She recommended redirecting the City�s grants from HUD to Miami-Dade County to support homelessness programs.
Commissioner Higgins commented on the number of homeless clients the City had served over the past ten (10) years and its total cost. She advised that approximately eleven percent (11%) of homeless people needing permanent support of housing originated from Miami Beach at a cost exceeding $27 million to the County, and homeless costs would increase due to new state laws.
Commissioner Higgins noted the City's failure to fund permanent housing services for the homeless. She expressed support for reopening the Interlocal Agreement because of the City�s potential annual revenues after the construction completion of the Convention Center Hotel. She suggested rerouting that payment to Miami-Dade County to fund homeless programs to avoid further use of County taxpayer money for these services.
Commissioner Higgins also suggested a review of the North Beach CRA�s expenses to reduce costs to compensate for the City�s lack of contribution or that the City amend its budget to contribute the needed $12 to $15 million projected as revenues from the proposed food and beverage tax.
Commissioner Higgins expressed support for renegotiating the Interlocal Agreement to ensure that, at minimum, the redirection of the convention center payment to Miami-Dade County.
Commissioner Higgins moved that the Board direct the Miami-Dade County Mayor to prepare a report within 30 days listing all discretionary funds earmarked for municipalities not participating in the food and beverage tax. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Bermudez; and upon being put to a vote, passed 12-0 (Commissioner Hardemon was absent).
Chairman Gilbert III, requested Commissioner Steinberg to lead the Board in identifying additional funding sources to address homelessness and invited suggestions on other available funding opportunities.
Commissioner Steinberg explained the City of Miami Beach, the Town of Surfside, and Bal Harbour Village were the only municipalities historically exempted from imposing the one percent (1%) food and beverage tax to fund homelessness since those cities already imposed a two percent (2%) tourist tax to fund tourist organizations. She highlighted that any unilateral contractual changes would require the City's participation to find a solution acceptable to all affected parties. She proposed to allow the City representatives in attendance at today�s meeting to return with a response after discussing this Board�s viewpoint and concerns with the entire City Commission.
Chairman Gilbert III, reiterated the North Beach CRA funds would no longer be available if this Board were not to reconsider the CRA at today�s meeting. He clarified the money being addressed was the County�s Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds contributed to the North Beach CRA, and this issue was unrelated to home rule matters. He highlighted the need to transfer the North Beach CRA funds to the General Fund to help fund homelessness because of the budget implications it would have, and the funds represent the County�s contribution.
Commissioner Regalado praised the Homeless Trust administration for their dedication and conveyed her confidence in them. She commented that commissioners raising concerns about the Homeless Trust administration should resolve those issues at the commissioner level.
Commissioner Regalado highlighted the primary concern of the North Beach CRA was the insufficiency of funds. She mentioned that the recent state legislative changes relating to would increase expenses and concerns because putting homeless individuals in jail was not an acceptable solution, and there was a need to identify alternatives. Commissioner Regalado highlighted the homeless issue also affected older adults because of the County's affordability crisis, and there was a need to make a funding decision to relieve the burden placed on residents. She suggested the Board should review the equity aspect to determine if the City should contribute a fair share of the expenses since the City rescinded from the ballot the proposed food and beverage tax. She conveyed her desire to identify a tangible solution.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins advised she was unsupportive of reconsidering the North Beach CRA because the length of time it took to finalize the negotiations and several issues affecting it. She brought attention to the fact that the Board�s assumption that voters from cities not paying the food and beverage tax would support establishing the proposed tax was unfounded as sixty-seven percent (67%) of Bal Harbour�s voters rejected the tax proposal because of the ballot language. She noted the City�s Commissioners had expressed willingness to place the food and beverage tax question back in the ballot in the 2026 election with provisions and language more reflective of the actions that would take place if the voters approved the ballot question.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins questioned how the estimated revenue projection of $10 to $15 million was calculated.
Mr. Ron Book, Chairman of the Homeless Trust, 4000 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, Florida, explained that the Office of the Tax Collector and the Office of Policy and Budgetary Affairs (OPBA) calculated the projected revenues from the proposed 1% food and beverage tax. He pointed out the calculation was based on the number of businesses holding a liquor license and having annual gross revenues exceeding $400,000.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins asked Mr. Book to provide her with a copy of the information depicting the estimated revenue projections.
Regarding Commissioner Cohen Higgins� question on the City�s position on this issue, City of Miami Beach Manager Eric Carpenter advised the City had not provided him with a policy direction. He stated that, he believed, the City Commission was open to discussing and identifying an appropriate solution because they understood the need to resolve the homelessness issue. Mr. Carpenter noted the City wished to collaborate in the problem resolution and were already part of the solution by funding over $5.2 million annually for homeless services. He noted the proposed tax would have generated substantial additional revenues.
Mr. Carpenter explained the City and Mr. Book agreed to give the City a share of the revenues generated if voters approved the proposed tax to help better the community.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins voiced discomfort proceeding with the legislation in the absence of voter input and confirmation of the potential revenues that the proposed tax would generate. She pointed out the original agreement was to have the voters decide the question.
Commissioner Bastien voiced her dismay with the City�s action to rescind the proposed tax question from the ballot and preventing the voters from deciding. She noted the County had absorbed the costs for too long when it should a shared cost since it was a countywide problem. She stated politics should not be part of the solution, and the City continued to play politics with the homelessness issue.
Commissioner Bastien expressed support for the standpoint of Chairman Gilbert III, and stated the City should be required to identify a funding resource.
Commissioner Hardemon stated the City officials were masterful expert communicators and illustrated how the City resolved difficult or political sensitive issues by using politically mindful solutions. He commented the City transported homeless people out of the City into other surrounding cities. He pointed out the City had agreed to provide financial support if the County took action. Therefore, the County moved forward based on the agreement; but the City undemocratically rescinded the proposed tax question from the ballot. He also commented on the City�s marketing strategies, its consequences, actions, and governing policies.
Commissioner Hardemon endorsed the position of Chairman Gilbert III, and supported having a discussion at today�s meeting (11/6) to address this matter to maintain the County�s bargaining power and avoid conceding opportunities to the City.
Commissioner Gonzalez concurred with comments previously made by Chairman Gilbert III, and Commissioners Hardemon and Higgins. He highlighted that the proposed food and beverage tax was the funding source, and the County faced a crucial decision today to secure funding. He asked if the City could provide today a funding source proposal.
Mr. Carpenter responded he had no policy direction from the City and requested to be given time to discuss the issue with the City Commission to seek their policy guidance and present a proposal at the November 20, 2024, Board meeting.
Commissioner Gonzalez stressed that funds available to the County today would be unavailable after the meeting if the Board granted the City a time extension.
Commissioner Higgins commented on the City�s action to rescind the proposed food and beverage tax from the ballot after having accepted $75 million from the County and explained the availability of funds from the South Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), which had specific obligations.
Commissioner Higgins highlighted that the City of Miami contributed to the funding of several homeless facilities from their food and beverage tax and property tax revenues. She pointed out the City's relocation of homeless individuals to the County jail was a tenfold costlier solution than a shelter bed, and the City was failing to fund jails while having a much higher usage rate than other municipalities for the use of County jails.
Chairman Gilbert III, reiterated his goal was to either solve the problem today or keep the funding options to provide the services open. He pointed out that housing homeless individuals in jails was inhumane and a very expensive alternative solution and the City was the County�s second city with the highest homeless population.
Commissioner Higgins advised that reconsidering and amending the resolution within the South Beach CRA was a funding opportunity without affecting the construction of the Convention Center Hotel. She explained that the Interlocal Agreement allowed the City to direct about $8 million annually from the South Beach CRA to their general fund account during the budget years preceding the Convention Center Hotel�s completion. She suggested the Board should reconsider the South Beach CRA to amend the Interlocal Agreement to re-direct to the County the payment of the surplus funds payable to the City at the end of each of the CRA�s budget year to fund homeless services, and she would be amenable to taking that action.
Commissioner Bermudez commented on his initial support for Commissioner Steinberg�s viewpoint; but after listening to the discussion, he was unsupportive.
In response to Commissioner Bermudez�s question, Assistant County Attorney Terrence Smith responded they would research the legislation enacted in early 1960 approving the hotel bed tax for Miami-Dade County and the municipalities benefiting.
Regarding Commissioner Bermudez�s question regarding how the City used its share of the revenues generated by the hotel bed tax, Mr. Carpenter explained the City transferred the revenues to its resort tax fund account to enhance resort-type areas serviced by the City to attract tourism.
Commissioner Bermudez requested information on the usage of the funds generated from the hotel bed tax and the municipalities levying the tax.
Commissioner Bermudez pointed out that the development of the Convention Center Hotel was critical since the entire County benefited from tourism and the hotel bed tax. Consequently, the Board should discuss this issue today to eliminate the need to depend on the outcome of re-negotiating the Interlocal Agreement, which could take a very long time and have no favorable result. He stated that all municipalities should share the financial burden of homelessness. Therefore, he would support Commissioner Higgins�s proposal.
Senator Garcia expressed his disagreement with the City�s action to rescind the proposed food and beverage tax from the ballot because the voters� had the right to vote and decide. He advised he was unsupportive of reconsidering the CRA and re-opening the Interlocal Agreement.
Senator Garcia said homelessness was a countywide problem and a mental health issue. He pointed out the County pledged to the voters to develop a mental health center, and the County acquired the property under consideration for that purpose. He stated that, because of legislative changes, the Homeless Trust had to consider developing a homeless facility.
Senator Garcia questioned the City�s willingness to negotiate and contribute funding to the County�s homelessness crisis.
Mr. Carpenter advised that the City was willing to identify a funding source, which could involve a combination of several funding sources; and he was unable to make a funding commitment today due to the lack of authority to make that determination. He advised that he was unsupportive of rescinding the CRA�s Interlocal Agreements due to the length of time it would take to negotiate.
Discussion ensued among the Board members regarding the South Beach CRA funds and the funds needed to build the Convention Center Hotel.
In response to Chairman Gilbert III�s question regarding whether the City could commit to contributing $10 million, Mr. Carpenter advised the City could identify its $10 million share if Mr. Book�s calculations were accurate. He stated the City would have to determine the funding source.
Chairman Gilbert III, reiterated the Board would assume the risk of losing the financial advantage if the Board failed to reconsider the CRA today because the City could change its viewpoint.
Commissioner Gonzalez spoke on the need to protect the development of the Convention Center Hotel and proposed to amend Agenda Item 11A19 to gain bargaining time for the County.
Commissioner Higgins stated the County had options on how to reconsider the CRA because it had available funds, which had no adverse impact on the Convention Center Hotel and the City�s budget. She explained the funding opportunities available if the County re-negotiated the CRA, which would continue to allow the City to receive its $75 million payment for the development of the Convention Center Hotel. She noted the City would have to ratify the modifications to the Interlocal Agreement.
Commissioner Higgins moved that the Board re-consider the North Beach CRA to re-negotiate the contract terms of the Interlocal Agreement, as previously explained. This motion was seconded by Commissioner McGhee; and upon being put to a vote, passed 9-4 (Commissioners Cohen Higgins, Gonzalez, Steinberg and Senator Garcia voted �no�.)
In response to Senator Garcia�s question, Commissioner Higgins responded her proposed amendments would have no implications on the financial viability of the CRA.
Commissioner Higgins that the Board re-consider the North Beach CRA to modify the Interlocal Agreement to include the following requirements:
1. That surplus funds, as practically possible, be paid to the County to provide services for homeless people and victims of domestic violence;
2. That the City�s share of the annual payment from the Convention Center Hotel be payable to the County for the sole purpose of funding services to homeless individuals and victims of domestic violence; and
3. That the City�s share of the transfer fee be payable to the County for the sole purpose of funding services to homeless individuals and victims of domestic violence if the Convention Center Hotel was sold.
This motion was seconded by Chairman Gilbert III; and the floor was opened for discussion.
Commissioner Regalado clarified the Board�s proposal offered the County the opportunity to negotiate better terms to fund homelessness and highlighted the Board deferred the North Beach CRA for that reason.
Discussion ensued among the Board members about the financial implications of re-negotiating the terms of the CRA, the best course of action, and the need to ensure the City contributes its fair share of funds for homelessness.
Because Commissioner Cohen Higgins questioned the voice vote taken on Commissioner Higgins�s motion to re-consider the North Beach CRA, Chairman Gilbert III, asked for a hand show vote on the motion. The hand show vote indicated the motion passed by a vote of 7-6 (Vice Chairman Rodriguez, Senator Garcia, and Commissioners Cohen Higgins, Cabrera, Gonzalez, and Steinberg voted �no�.)
Vice Chairman Rodriguez questioned the impact of the Board�s action to re-consider the CRA.
Assistant County Attorney Terrence Smith stated that it would not affect the timeline.
Mr. David Martin, 3310 Mary Street, Coconut Grove, Florida, Convention Center Hotel developer, advised the project had a delay and was unsure if the Board�s vote would affect its financing due to the project�s timelines and existing contractual terms.
Upon the request of City Commissioner Suarez, Commissioner Higgins explained how the proposal would work.
City Commissioner Suarez announced that he sponsored the ordinance to repeal the tax measure and voiced his intent to withdraw it to place the tax measure on the November 2026 ballot. He suggested holding a City Commission meeting to negotiate a fair agreement for the Board's review, noting he was unaware of the verbal agreement between the Board and the City Commission and the City.
City Commissioner Suarez expressed the City's commitment to earmark $4.8 million annually for homelessness services through 2026. He pointed out that the Chair of the Homeless Trust had indicated the Trust would reimburse the City $5.2 million from its funds. He emphasized that the City budgeted annually $5.2 million for these services.
City Commissioner Suarez proposed to have the City fund homelessness services for the next two years, place the tax measure question on the November 2026 ballot, and determine the City's financial contribution after voters had the opportunity to decide for themselves imposing the food and beverage tax on small local businesses. He expressed willingness to negotiate the City's funding terms over the next two years until the voters cast their ballots in November 2026.
In response to Vice Chairman Rodriguez�s question, City of Miami Beach Vice Mayor Alex Fernandez stated that he was unaware of any negotiations between City and County officials regarding the proposed tax measure or the appointment of an official to engage in these negotiations. He emphasized the County should allocate its participation fee to fund homelessness services if the Interlocal Agreement mandated the City to earmark its current annual $500,000 contribution fee for homelessness. Additionally, he supported the County forfeiting its share of the transfer fee if the Interlocal Agreement mandated that the City forfeit its 2% transfer fee, as the agreement should ensure parity between both parties.
City Vice Mayor Fernandez expressed his support for discussing the City's funding contribution for homelessness initiatives at the City Commission meeting scheduled for November 20, 2024. He emphasized his strong advocacy for levying the 1% food and beverage tax and his past opposition to repealing the ordinance.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Bermudez and City Commissioner Suarez regarding the City�s awareness of the proposed 1% food and beverage tax.
City Commissioner Suarez committed to putting a clear, easy-to-understand 1% food and beverage tax proposal on the November 2026 ballot and giving the public ample review time. He commented it would be unfair to place the tax burden on the City�s struggling small businesses since many were closing their doors.
Discussion ensued between the Board members and City officials about the impact of the proposed tax measure on the City�s businesses, the question of their solvency, and the current exclusion of hotels from the tax measure.
Discussion ensued among the Board members regarding the notice requirements to hold a special meeting to address this issue.
Discussion ensued between the Board members and City officials regarding the legislative history of the proposed ballot measure and its present status.
Discussion ensued between the Board members and Mr. Book the legislative history of the proposed tax measure.
Commissioner Regalado proffered an amendment to take funds from the first and second year of the surplus funds without considering revenues from a potential sale or taking the CRA�s funds rather than re-opening the Interlocal Agreement.
A discussion ensued among the Board members focused on the surplus funds and their availability over the years.
Commissioner Higgins proffered an amendment requiring the City to develop a long-term funding plan equivalent to the proposed tax measure but not dependent on it to address homelessness initiatives. She highlighted information she received via email concerning the City Attorney's advice to the City Commission about their option to annul the proposed tax measure if approved by the voters.
Commissioner Higgins expressed confidence in the proposed amendment and stated she would adjust the proposed provisions regarding the transfer fee and convention center hotel payment if the City established a firm commitment and funding plan to address homelessness.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated it was critically important to have the City place on the ballot the proposed tax measure to determine if voters wished to approve it. She concurred with previous statements that City officials hold a meeting to develop an acceptable funding plan and present it before this Board by November 20, 2024, for consideration. She recommended that the Convention Center Hotel�s developer and the county district commissioners participate in the City�s meeting.
City Commissioner Suarez reaffirmed his pledge to request the City Commission to hold a special meeting to address this matter and explained their procedure to have it approved.
Commissioner Higgins emphasized the County�s need to have the City develop a long-term funding plan for homelessness initiatives and contribute $10 million for this year�s fiscal year. She expressed strong support for her motion.
A discussion ensued among Board members, ACA David Hope, and City Commissioner Suarez regarding the ratification process for Commissioner Higgins�s motion by the City Commission, the process if not ratified, and the alternative option.
Chairman Gilbert III, expressed hope for the City�s acceptance of Commissioner Higgins� motion; and he asked that the City Commission respond and apprise this Board of their meeting outcome, even if the City Commission failed to ratify Commissioner Higgins� motion.
A discussion ensued among the Board members with City Commissioner Suarez focusing on this Board�s recourse and good faith efforts.
Commissioner Suarez reiterated the Homeless Trust Chair statement regarding reimbursing the City $5.2 million for funds previously spent on homeless services if the voters approved levying the proposed ballot tax measure. He explained the total annual amount of funds the City spent on homelessness services and the type of services provided with those funds.
Commissioner Suarez proffered an amendment to Commissioner Higgins�s motion to reimburse the City $5.2 million if voters approved levying the proposed ballot tax measure.
Discussion ensued among the Board members and City Commissioner Suarez regarding the effect of the City Commission�s action in omitting from the ballot the proposed tax measure and the type and costs of services provided to the City�s homeless.
Chairman Gilbert III, asked that the City should either accept the short-term solution offered by the County or develop a long-term funding solution. He asked that the City prepare a reasonable and acceptable proposal for this Board to consider.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins expressed her concerns for the financial implications on the developer�s contracts to develop the Convention Center Hotel when postponing the timeframe to have the City identify a funding solution.
A discussion ensued among the Board members about the financial ramifications to the Convention Center Hotel construction contracts if this Board postponed making a financial decision to allow the City time to develop a funding proposal.
Chairman Gilbert III, suggested the Board delegate a County official to negotiate with the City.
Commissioner Regalado emphasized that the County should ensure the City contributed a fair funding amount for homelessness initiatives, regardless of the source of the funding. She commented on the County�s remaining financial options. She mentioned that she would prepare a resolution on this issue for the Board to consider at its meeting on November 20, 2024, irrespective of the City Commission's decision.
Senator Garcia opposed the proposed motion, arguing that it could compromise the development of the Convention Center Hotel and jeopardize funding opportunities for homelessness initiatives. He stated that leveraging the situation in this manner was inappropriate at this time; therefore, he would vote against the motion.
Commissioner Bermudez voiced his opinion that the City of Hialeah should also levy the 1% food and beverage tax on its hotels and businesses.
Commissioner Bermudez moved that the Board appoint Commissioner Higgins to work with the City of Miami Beach on revising the Interlocal Miami Beach Cooperating Agreement terms. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Regalado; and upon being put to a vote, the motion passed by a vote of 13-0. (See Agenda Item 15F11, Legislative File Number 242224.)
Mayor Levine Cava clarified that County staff would also participate in the negotiations with the City.
At a later time during the meeting, the Board deferred the foregoing resolution to no date certain.

RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A COUNTY POLICY RELATED TO THE NORTH BEACH COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (�AGENCY�) AND APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF CERTAIN MATTERS RELATED TO THE AGENCY AND THE NORTH BEACH COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREA
|
4-Day Rule Invoked, Added-on as Agenda Item 11A20 per Ord#20-38
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Steinberg invoked the 4-Day Rule.
Chairman Gilbert III, placed the foregoing proposed resolution on today�s agenda as Agenda Item 11A20, Legislative File Number 242063, per Ordinance Number O-20-38.
Senator Garcia objected to the Chair unilaterally adding legislation to the Board�s agenda without a demonstrated immediate need to prevent a dialogue.
Chairman Gilbert III, explained the 4-Day Rule prevented addressing the legislation in a timely fashion. He pointed out the homeless crisis was delaying the resolution of the North Beach Community Redevelopment Agency�s (CRA) issues, and the Board had pressing deadlines to address the CRA issue and the Inspector General�s (IG) expired contract. He highlighted the importance of maintaining the CRA actionable to identify a solution to fund the homeless continuum.
In response to Commissioner Bermudez�s question, County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan advised the Chair used the powers provided by the State of Florida issued Executive Orders 22-218 for Hurricane Ian, 24-213 for Hurricane Helene and International Longshoremen�s Association (ILA) strike, and 23-08 addressing the impact of war in Israel.
Commissioner Bermudez endorsed Senator Garcia and Commissioner Steinberg�s position and advocated for adherence to established policies.
Discussion ensued among the Board members and the County Attorney�s Office regarding the impact of invoking the 4-Day Rule on Agenda Items 14A2 and 14A3 and the purpose of the legislative items.
See report for Agenda Item 11A20, Legislative File Number 242063.
