REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE HEARD AS PROVIDED IN RULE 6.06
|
| |
| |
REPORT:
Chairman Gilbert III opened the reasonable opportunity to be heard; the following persons came forward to speak:
City of Homestead (Homestead) Mayor Steve Losner, 100 Civic Court, Homestead, FL, spoke in opposition to Agenda Item 11A6 because the proposed plan could duplicate a multi-purpose entertainment and sports venue that Homestead had planned to construct on approximately 22 acres of city-owned land at the Miami Homestead Speedway. Mayor Losner requested that no action be taken that could be used to justify any delay or attempt to relocate the Homestead Project, which the Commission had accepted findings on just two weeks prior. He also noted that neither Space Florida nor Homestead Air Reserve Base had been notified, briefed, or consulted about the compatibility of Agenda Item 11A6.
Mr. Lawrence Ventura, 2032 West 12th Street, Homestead, FL, representing Homestead Air Reserve Base spoke about Agenda Item 11A6 and noted the proposed facility had to be compatible with the base�s security and operational needs;
Ms. Naya Blaize, 10270 SW 164th Street, Miami, FL, co-founder of Assistance R Us, spoke in support of Agenda Item 3A6 and sought financial support from the Board for the organization;
Ms. Adia Blaize, 1750 North Bayshore Drive, Miami, FL, co-founder of Assistance R Us, spoke in support of Agenda Item 3A6 and also requested financial support from the Board for the organization; and
Mr. Peter England, Chief Strategy Officer of the Economic Development Council of South Miami-Dade (EDC), 7620 Southwest 171st Street, Palmetto Bay, FL, attempted to address the Board during the public comment period but was unable to do so because he had not registered to speak prior to the meeting's commencement. Mr. England indicated that he arrived after the 9:30 a.m. registration deadline.
When Agenda Item 11A6 was later discussed, Commissioner Regalado requested that Mr. England be given an opportunity to speak. Chairman Rodriguez granted this request, acknowledging that while Mayor Losner had already spoken during the public comment period, Mr. England had not been afforded that opportunity.
Mr. England then presented the EDC's position, requesting deferral of the item due to concerns regarding the proposed site's designation as spaceport territory by the State of Florida and potential operational impacts on Homestead Air Reserve Base (See Agenda Item 11A6 Amended, Legislative File No. 242102).
There being no other persons appearing to speak, Chairman Gilbert III closed the reasonable opportunity to be heard.

REPORT REGARDING TRANSITION TO CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICES � A COMBINED RESPONSE TO DIRECTIVES 221383, 221086, 221017, 221018, AND 221381(Mayor)
|
Accepted as amended
|
| |
REPORT:
ACA Valdes read a motion by Commissioner Regalado, as follows:
�To direct the County Mayor or the County Mayor�s designee to allocate from the future services reserve, identified in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 budget, funding in an amount not to exceed $250,000 per officer-elect to enable constitutional officers-elect, the Sheriff, the Property Appraiser, the Supervisor of Election, and the Tax Collector, to retain outside counsel so that such outside counsel can provide independent legal representation to the constitutional officers-elect during the transition period leading up to the establishment of such offices on January 7, 2025. These constitutional officers-elect shall select the outside counsel of their choosing and the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee shall work with these constitutional officers-elect to have any invoices for such services submitted to Miami-Dade County for payment in an amount not to exceed $250,000 per constitutional officer-elect.�
Commissioner Regalado explained that her motion was meant to ensure a smooth transition and provide legal representation for the constitutional officers-elect and their employees in the upcoming constitutional offices.
ACA Valdes pointed out that a similar motion by Chairman Rodriguez would instead allocate $150,000 per constitutional officer-elect and the Chair of the County Commission would be delegated the authority to approve payment of any invoices exceeding each constitutional officers-elect�s allocated amount on a case-by-case basis, provided that such services were exclusively provided prior to January 7, 2025 and the necessary funding for such payments had been identified as legally available funds in this FY's budget.
Commissioner Regalado withdrew her motion and supported Chairman Rodriguez�s motion.
Vice Chairman McGhee seconded Chairman Rodriguez�s motion.
Discussion ensued between Chairman Rodriguez and Commissioner Gilbert III about the invoices. Commissioner Gilbert III supported the motion but commented that while the constitutional officers-elect should be provided with the funding, invoice payments did not need approval by the Chair.
Chairman Rodriguez replied that the invoices were needed to properly process payments and only applied until the constitutional officers-elect assumed office on January 7.
Commissioner Regalado pointed out that the Clerk of the Board and Comptroller also needed to be included in the list of constitutional officers-elect who would be provided with legal counsel.
Chairman Rodriguez noted that the Clerk of the Board and Comptroller was included in his motion.
It was moved by Commissioner Regalado to accept the reports, as amended. This motion was seconded by Chairman Rodriguez, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 13-0.

REPORT:
Senator Garcia sought an explanation from Mr. Ronald L. Book, Chairman, Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust Board of Trustees (Homeless Trust), about the relocation of homeless residents without notice from the Camillus House facility in the City of Miami (Miami) to a hostel in the City of Miami Beach (Miami Beach) on October 31, 2024.
Mr. Book replied that the Homeless Trust made a unilateral decision not to extend its contract to house homeless residents at Camillus House with entities including Camillus House, Miami, and the City of Coral Gables, which expired September 2024. He provided details on the increased reimbursement rates from Camillus House, which made it more cost-efficient to provide permanent housing to homeless residents than to shelter them at Camillus House.
Discussion ensued between Senator Garcia and Mr. Book about the decision to relocate the homeless residents from Camillus House. Senator Garcia voiced his concerns with the actions by the Homeless Trust regarding the relocation and pointed out that Camillus House was willing to negotiate the contract.
Mr. Book explained the homeless residents were relocated because Camillus House would not extend its contract with Miami and would release several homeless residents from their facility. He added that it was Miami�s decision to relocate the residents.
Mr. Book stressed that the Homeless Trust had worked with its partners to locate additional shelter beds due to increased demands. He pointed out that the hostel in Miami Beach informed the Homeless Trust that it had available beds for homeless residents, which would be funded by Miami Beach. He also noted that there was misinformation circulating about the Homeless Trust�s actions regarding the relocation.
In response to Senator Garcia�s question if an interlocal agreement was reached between Miami Beach and the Homeless Trust, Mr. Book replied that the Homeless Trust was given authority to draft an interlocal agreement in 2021, but it was not accepted by Miami Beach.
Senator Garcia remarked that an interlocal agreement was not achieved by both parties.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins pointed out that Mr. Book served as Chairman for the Homeless Trust for twenty years because the Board repeatedly waived the Homeless Trust�s three-year term limit of Chairperson for him.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins pondered if new leadership was needed at the Homeless Trust, but would support his reappointment and opined that term limits should apply to his position.
Commissioner Regalado voiced her support for Mr. Book�s reappointment despite the concerns raised by the other Board members, which she acknowledged were valid.
Commissioner Higgins also supported Mr. Book�s reappointment, but pointed out that the Homeless Trust lacked a transition plan for a new Chairperson. She recommended the Homeless Trust prepare a transition plan to present to the Board within a year.
After noting that he was a member of the Homeless Trust, Commissioner Gilbert III stated that the Homeless Trust had operational continuity plans in case Mr. Book could no longer serve as the Chairman. He also stated that term limits were only for elected officials, and voiced his support for Mr. Book�s reappointment.
Chairman Rodriguez and Commissioner Bastien also supported the reappointment of Mr. Book. Chairman Rodriguez advised Mr. Book to prepare a transition plan promptly.
Mr. Book informed the Board that the Homeless Trust already had a transition plan which would be presented to the Board. He also expressed gratitude to the Board members for their support.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

REPORT:
Senator Garcia indicated his support for the foregoing proposed resolution but inquired if there would be competitive advantages with the County�s vendor contracts that eliminated the distribution of single-use plastics and polystyrene.
Commissioner Higgins noted that she had worked with the Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department to successfully transition the County away from single-use plastics and polystyrene in disposable food packaging products to environmentally friendly products. She added that large-scale entities such as ZooMiami, the Hard Rock Stadium, and cities had also successfully transitioned to compostable food packaging products. Commissioner Higgins also detailed the benefits of using environmentally friendly food packaging products versus those made from plastics and polystyrene in County facilities.
In response to Senator Garcia�s question, Commissioner Higgins pointed out that with the contracts there were minor differences in costs between plastics and compostable food packaging products. She remarked that it was an appropriate time to include in new vendor contracts the requirement to discontinue the use of plastics and polystyrene in food packaging products. She added that the contracts would be flexible regarding the vendors� transition to compostable food packaging products.
Commissioner Gonzalez was unsupportive of the item because he stated the environmentally friendly food packaging products were expensive and unnecessary.
Commissioner Gilbert III voiced his support for the item even though he did not favor some compostable food packaging products. He did acknowledge, however, that they were better for the environment.
Commissioner Higgins proffered an amendment to the foregoing proposed resolution to clarify that prepackaged foods such as ready-to-eat meals and snack packs were excepted in new contracts and that contract renewals should be negotiated to exclude single-use plastics to the greatest extent possible.
Senator Garcia asked for a study to provide updates on the efforts to eliminate the distribution of single-use plastics and polystyrene in order to discern the impact on businesses.
As part of the proffered amendment, Commissioner Higgins requested the County Mayor to prepare a report due by November 20, 2025 which would provide an update on the County�s efforts to eliminate the distribution of single-use plastics and polystyrene in all County contracts with concessionaires, as well as the cost for the efforts.
Mayor Levine Cava responded that the report would be provided.
Commissioner Bermudez questioned if any consideration was given to the economic impact of discontinuing single-use plastics and polystyrene.
Chairman Rodriguez expressed his concerns with the proposed resolution because of the economic impact it would have on small businesses and consumers in the County. He asked if the proffered amendment was not a mandate for business owners because he would then support the item.
ACA Spencer clarified that the item and amendment directed the County Mayor to include the provision about single-use plastics and polystyrene to the greatest extent possible in vendor contracts. She further clarified that the provision was not a mandate.
Commissioner Bermudez voiced his concerns that the term �commercially reasonable� was not used in the language of the proposed resolution and asked if it was considered.
Commissioner Higgins explained that the term was not included because it would limit the phrase in her proposed amendment �the greatest extent possible.�
Commissioner Steinberg expressed her support for the item and noted that discontinuing the use of single-use plastic food packaging would eventually be profitable.
There being no questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as amended.

REPORT:
Commissioner Higgins explained that the City of Miami Beach (Miami Beach) held a special meeting on November 14, 2024, related to the foregoing proposed resolutions and devised a funding source for housing homeless residents. She added that Miami Beach adopted the County�s amendments to six interlocal agreements for a Community Redevelopment Agency (RDA) with Miami Beach which were listed in Agenda Item 11A2, and thus that item was no longer needed; Commissioner Higgins requested that Agenda Item 11A2 be withdrawn.
Commissioner Higgins also proffered an amendment to Agenda Item 11A5, which was distributed before today�s meeting to the Board members. She stated that the amendment would expedite the interlocal agreements.
Commissioner Gilbert III agreed to withdraw Agenda Item 11A2 and accepted Commissioner Higgins� proposed amendment.
ACA Smith read Commissioner Higgins� proffered amendment, as follows:
�Provide that the policy set forth in Section 2 shall remain in effect until such time as the following requirement is met: the City, County and Miami Beach Community Redevelopment Area (RDA) shall execute agreements to provide additional funding to the County to construct and operate housing for homeless persons and domestic violence centers and to provide services to individuals experiencing homelessness and victims of domestic violence, commencing in Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 and ending in FY 2039. This funding will be provided through the allocation of the four percent (4%) Resort Bed Tax revenue generated by room nights sold at the Miami Beach Convention Center Headquarter Hotel, or an amount equivalent thereto from other legally available funding sources in a minimum amount of $4,000,000 (�Bed Tax Floor�) effective for a thirteen-year term beginning on October 1, 2027, and which shall be adjusted annually. Any deficit to the Bed Tax Floor will be paid to the County out of the surplus revenues generated by the RDA, pursuant to the terms of the Seventh Amendment to the RDA Interlocal Agreement. In the event that the payments are not timely made to the County then the Board will not authorize approval of those matters set forth in the Policy.�
Commissioner Regalado questioned what would occur if there were no funds for the RDA.
Commissioner Higgins explained that funding for the RDA would be negotiated and if necessary, the budget for the RDA would be slightly adjusted.
Commissioner Regalado suggested additional funding sources and voiced her support for the agenda item.
Responding to Commissioner Steinberg�s request for clarification of the amendments, Commissioner Higgins provided more details about the modifications and a schedule for the contracts related to the North Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). She concluded that the item would memorialize Miami Beach�s commitment to the CRA.
Commissioner Steinberg indicated her support for the item and the CRA.
In response to Commissioner Bermudez�s question if the item would delay the construction of the Miami Beach Convention Center Headquarter Hotel, Commissioner Higgins stated it would not have an impact because the hotel project was not related to the CRA.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as amended.
*Special Note: The final amended version of the foregoing resolution was received by the Clerk of the Board on May 12, 2026, after the meeting minutes were approved by the Board.

REPORT:
Commissioner Regalado expressed her concerns with the foregoing proposed resolution because according to her the Homestead Air Reserve Base and the local community did not have any input on the item. Commissioner Regalado requested a deferral for the item so that more information could be provided about it.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins concurred with Commissioner Regalado and expressed similar concerns about converting 72 acres of public park land into a sports facility. She noted that the project might conflict with a proposed expansion of the State of Florida�s spaceport system territory in the same area and questioned why the Administration was directed to proceed on an expedited basis to commence the project.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins indicated her support for a deferral unless more information about the item was provided.
Commissioner Regalado stated that if the item was not being deferred then the public should be allowed to speak.
Vice Chairman McGhee confirmed with ACA Herman that the public had an opportunity to speak about the proposed resolution during the Reasonable Opportunity to be Heard at today�s meeting.
Vice Chairman McGhee explained that the project provided economic opportunity to the south Dade area and the item�s lack information was intended to encourage participation and input about the project with entities such as Homestead Air Reserve Base, nearby municipalities, and the south areas of the Unincorporated Municipal Service Area.
Vice Chairman McGhee opposed the deferral request and confirmed with ACA Herman that the item was presented to the Administration in May 2024, finalized in July 2024 and that the community would be able to provide input for the project during the due diligence period.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins pointed out the item did not specifically provide for community input and asked Vice Chairman McGhee if the item would be amended to explicitly include community input and why this measure was not included in the item.
Vice Chairman McGhee reiterated that the community would have input in the project.
Chairman Rodriguez informed Commissioner Regalado that any speakers who appeared before the Reasonable Opportunity to be Heard, but were not allowed to speak because they did not register before today�s meeting, could speak about the item.
Commissioner Regalado invited City of Homestead Mayor Steve Losner to speak, but Chairman Rodriguez pointed out that he spoke already during the Reasonable Opportunity to be Heard.
Chairman Rodriguez allowed Mr. England to address the Board.
Mr. Peter England, Chief Strategy Officer, Economic Development Council of South Miami-Dade (EDC), 7620 Palmetto Bay, FL, requested deferral of the item due to concerns regarding the proposed site's designation as spaceport territory by the State of Florida and potential operational impacts on Homestead Air Reserve Base.
Commissioner Regalado sought confirmation that the Administration would negotiate only with the vendor named in the item.
ACA Herman replied that a status report would be provided to the Board in 45 days and legislation with a lease agreement would be presented to the Board for adoption on January 2025.
Commissioner Regalado voiced concerns with the process taken with the legislation because it was not transparent enough with the community.
Commissioner Bermudez asked about the impact the project would have on military facilities throughout the County and if the military community would have input.
Vice Chairman McGhee replied that the military community would have crucial input, as well as the EDC and the south Dade community.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the proposed resolution, as presented.

MOTION BY CHAIRMAN RODRIGUEZ RE: SOLID WASTE SYSTEM DISCUSSIONS
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Chairman Rodriguez stated that several Board members wanted to hold a special meeting to consider legislation related to the operations of the County�s solid waste system, including the location of a new waste-to-energy (WTE) facility.
Chairman Rodriguez noted that at the December 3, 2024 Board meeting, Agenda Item 11A11, Legislative File No. 241676, which was related to the selection of a new WTE facility, would be considered. He made a motion to schedule consideration of the item and any other item related to solid waste system listed on the December 3, 2024 Board agenda to the December 4, 2024 Carryover meeting. He continued that a special meeting consent was not required because the Carryover meeting was already scheduled for December 4. Chairman Rodriguez noted that the balance of the agenda for the December 3 meeting would be completed on that date and the meeting would then be recessed. The meeting would reconvene on December 4 to consider Agenda Item 11A11 and related items.
Commissioner Regalado suggested that the administration present the solid waste Master Plan at the December 4 meeting.
Chairman Rodriguez agreed with this suggestion.
Commissioner Gilbert III pointed out that he was the prime sponsor of Agenda Item 11A11 and would be out of town on December 4, but he would commence work on the item.
Commissioner Bermudez opined that a comprehensive discussion about the County�s solid waste system was needed which included all of the County�s landfills. He suggested that a meeting attended by all the Board members should be held which focused on the issue.
Chairman Rodriguez cautioned the Board that the item would be delayed until January 2025 if it was not considered at the December 4 meeting. He recommended adherence to the meeting date.
Commissioner Steinberg informed the Board that she had a scheduling conflict on December 4 and concurred with Commissioner Bermudez�s suggestion for a separate meeting at another date to consider the item.
Commissioner Gilbert III stated he would change his plans and attend the December 4 meeting. Commissioner Steinberg also remarked that she would attend.
Commissioner Regalado advised that the administration brief the Board members on the solid waste master plan prior to the meeting.

MOTION TO EXTEND FOR 90 DAYS THE APPROVAL PERIOD FOR ALL LEGISLATIVE REQUESTS ELIGIBLE FOR AN EXTENSION MADE BY CHAIRMAN RODRIGUEZ, VICE CHAIRMAN MCGHEE, COMMISSIONERS BASTIEN, BERMUDEZ, CABRERA, COHEN HIGGINS, GILBERT III, GONZALEZ, HARDEMON, HIGGINS, REGALADO, AND SENATOR GARCIA
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
ACA Alfonso read a request by Senator Garcia and Commissioner Higgins for the following motion to be made on their behalf by another commissioner, as follows:
�Pursuant to Rule 5.06 (A)(4) of the Board of County Commissioners� Rules of Procedures, Chairman Rodriguez, Vice Chairman McGhee, Commissioners Bastien, Bermudez, Cabrera, Cohen Higgins, Gilbert III, Gonzalez, Hardemon, Higgins, Regalado, and Senator Garcia, each moved to extend indefinitely the approval period for all legislative requests eligible for an extension made by each respective commissioner.�
Commissioner Gilbert III seconded the motion.
Commissioner Steinberg confirmed with ACA Alfonso that Agenda Item 11A5 Amended, which was related to the North Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), would be held indefinitely. Commissioner Steinberg requested a bifurcation of the item because an indefinite hold would restrict her legislative actions as a commissioner and member of the CRA.
Responding to Commissioner Steinberg�s question about how long was an item usually held, ACA Alfonso informed her that it was 120 days.
Commissioner Steinberg proffered an amendment to hold the Agenda Item 11A5 Amended for 120 days instead of indefinitely.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins seconded the motion.
Replying to Commissioner Hardemon�s question about the length of time for the holds, ACA Alfonso informed him that the extensions would be indefinite or until the requests were completed.
Discussion ensued among Chairman Rodriguez, Commissioners Gilbert III and Hardemon and Executive Assistant County Attorney Jess McCarty about the length of time for holds.
Executive Assistant County Attorney McCarty noted that following a recent series of holds they became indefinite after 90-day, then 30-day extensions were surpassed.
Commissioner Hardemon speculated that the continued use of indefinite holds was unintentional.
Commissioner Gilbert III explained that a hold was placed on the CRA to ensure it would not be removed from a ballot in the City of Miami Beach for the November 5, 2024 election. He assured Commissioner Steinberg he would not extend the hold because the election was over.
Commissioner Regalado concurred with Commissioner Hardemon and provided suggestions on changing the rules and procedures for holds.
Commissioner Gilbert III confirmed that he withdrew his motion to extend the hold indefinitely on Agenda Item 11A5.
Executive Assistant County Attorney McCarty clarified the hold that was placed on the item by Commissioners Gilbert III and Higgins.
Commissioner Higgins pointed out she placed a hold on the item because she proffered an amendment for it and the hold was no longer needed because the item was adopted as amended during today�s meeting.
Commissioner Bermudez concurred with Commissioners Hardemon and Regalado. He advised the County Attorney�s Office about the usage of language with motions; he also suggested that clear and concise policy had to be established regarding holds.
Commissioner Hardemon proffered an amendment to the motion read by ACA Alfonso to only extend the holds for 90 days instead of indefinitely.
Commissioner Gilbert III moved pursuant to Rule 5.06 (A)(4) of the Board�s Rules of Procedure, to extend for 90 days the approval period for all legislative requests eligible for an extension on behalf of Chairman Rodriguez, Vice Chairman McGhee, and Commissioners Bastien, Bermudez, Cabrera, Cohen Higgins, Gilbert III, Gonzalez, Hardemon, Higgins, Regalado, and Senator Garcia.
This motion was seconded by Commissioner Cohen Higgins, and upon being put to a vote, was approved 12-0 (Senator Garcia was absent).
