Prior to the roll call, Deputy Clerk Diana Hern�ndez announced that the Clerk of the Board had received notice that Commissioner Gilbert III would be absent from today�s (2/13) Government Efficiency and Transparency Ad Hoc Committee (GETC) meeting.
Chairman Bermudez convened the GETC meeting at 2:07 p.m.
In addition to the Committee members, the following staff members were present:

~ Assistant County Attorneys (ACA) Monica Rizo, James Edwin Kirtley, Jr., Christian Fernandez-Andes, and Eduardo W. Gonzalez; and
~ Deputy Clerks Kerry Khunjar Breakenridge and Diana Hern�ndez.
MOTION TO SET THE AGENDA
Assistant County Attorney James Edwin Kirtley, Jr. advised pursuant to the Board of County Commissioners� (BCC) Chairman Rodriguez memorandum dated February 13, 2025, entitled �Requested Changes to the Government Efficiency and Transparency Ad HOC Committee (GETC) meeting agenda�, the prime sponsor of Agenda Item 2B requested to defer the item until the April GETC or the next available committee thereafter.

DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING COMMITTEE ORIENTATION
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Chairman Bermudez acknowledged BCC Chairman Rodriguez's visionary leadership in creating the GETC to promote efficiency and transparency within county government. He expressed gratitude to committee members for their attendance and emphasized that part of being efficient was listening thoughtfully and making decisive decisions through unified collaboration.
Chairman Bermudez proposed developing a website to facilitate constituent feedback and suggestions regarding efficiency improvements within Miami-Dade County and stated that this was an opportunity to improve county government's culture and establish more efficient internal systems for enhanced governmental effectiveness. He stressed the importance of recognizing this as a collective governmental decision rather than individual initiatives.
Chairman Bermudez requested that specific departments submit detailed presentations on performance metrics, focusing on areas needing improvement. He identified four priority departments: Strategic Procurement Department, Small Business Development, Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (including the Permit Division), and Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM).
Chairman Bermudez advocated for using metrics as efficient tools for performance monitoring and assessment of programs and initiatives, noting their particular value in light of the upcoming budget cycle. He emphasized that the committee should not be limited to making suggestions only during departmental presentations but should continue developing recommendations for ongoing improvement.
Commissioner Regalado commended the committee structure as an opportunity to work effectively without requiring sunshine meetings for collaboration. She cautioned against implementing uniform metrics across all county departments, noting that different departments operated differently and required tailored approaches.
Commissioner Regalado suggested the committee address constitutional officers' requests and hear from the administration before items were submitted to the Board. She acknowledged the need for cultural change to reduce employee time and increase efficiency and noted that following the COVID-19 pandemic, the County created positions that lacked community service components. Commissioner Regalado emphasized the need to focus on core services the County provided to the community and eliminate programs that did not provide value to residents.
Commissioner Regalado questioned how the committee would effectuate ideas across departments in time for the budget cycle and how changes would be proposed.
She suggested restructuring discussions to segregate departments based on funding sources, distinguishing between enterprise funds and non-enterprise funds. Commissioner Regalado noted that enterprise fund departments like airports and water/sewer operations had different operational requirements and funding structures.
Chairman Bermudez acknowledged this suggestion while noting that his initial selection of departments was based on their provision of essential public services directly to residents.
Vice Chairman Cabrera proposed that individual departments establish their own procurement divisions to ensure appropriate categorization of procurements. He referenced the Miami International Airport's (MIA) previous practice of handling its own procurements as a potentially more efficient model.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins announced her efforts to address airport procurement issues, noting significant utility in returning procurement authority to the airport. She highlighted the Board's tendency to approve resolutions and demands without considering broader implications for administrative efficiency. Commissioner Cohen Higgins emphasized that efficiency encompassed more than budgetary reductions, focusing on reducing unnecessary rules and procedures that delay services. She also noted the Mayor's commitment to effective cooperation with the Board for the benefit of Miami-Dade County residents.
Dr. Edwards acknowledged Chairman Bermudez's vision for committee-driven process improvements. She highlighted successful results from the Office Supplies Audit, which led to automated process improvements and equipment repairs. Dr. Edwards conveyed the administration's willingness to engage with innovative strategies and requested input on departmental focus areas.
Dr. Edwards stated that excessive County regulations had hindered administrative progress and noted that the administration had been identifying inefficiencies within the Procurement Department and reviewing obsolete contracts. She referenced the Mayor's WISE 305 initiative, which included cutting red tape and reviewing procurement rules and policies.
Commissioner Regalado highlighted changes that had occurred over time, including the implementation of term limits, which created urgency in various processes. She noted that when the County lacked term limits, spending four years on an RFP was acceptable, but current economic conditions made such delays costly. Commissioner Regalado emphasized that post-COVID cost escalations meant every day of delay increased project expenses.
Commissioner Regalado expressed concern with one-size-fits-all approaches across departments, noting that some departments required specialized approaches. She referenced examples of Information Technology (IT) centralization creating complications for departments like the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) that worked directly with the public and suggested that certain departments should maintain in-house capabilities for efficiency.
Chairman Bermudez highlighted the inherent limitations of governmental processes, explaining that bureaucratic requirements prevented government from operating at private sector speed. He maintained that the committee's objective was to enhance county efficiency and effectiveness through collective and collaborative action.
Chairman Bermudez emphasized that the committee was created to move forward with ideas and collaborations as a group rather than criticize the administration and County departments. He stressed the importance of group strength and unity while acknowledging that different metrics would be appropriate for different departments.
Commissioner Bermudez urged the administration to provide input and ideas without being influenced by perceived Board preferences, emphasizing the importance of honest communication for effective collaboration.
Chairman Bermudez expressed his desire to hear from various stakeholders beyond the legislative body and administration such as the Builders Association of South Florida, trade unions, and economic development organizations as valuable sources of input for efficiency improvements. He noted that good ideas could come from anyone, and that the committee should not limit itself to internal perspectives. Chairman Bermudez noted the importance of public input through the proposed website and other engagement mechanisms.
Dr. Edwards commended the MIA procurement team, clarifying that a specialized procurement team already existed there under the leadership of Director Ralph Cuti�. She noted that this team fell under the purview to the Strategic Procurement Department led by Director Namita Uppal and participated in Countywide training programs.
Dr. Edwards emphasized that the airport team was highly functioning and contributed to the Board's investment in elevating MIA. She requested support for improving standardization of training and streamlining processes while acknowledging existing expertise.
Chairman Bermudez restated the committee's goal of improving governmental efficiency and effectiveness while avoiding attribution of fault to specific individuals or departments. He emphasized that the committee represented a "we" rather than "me" approach and clarified that criticism was not the intent.

REPORT:
ACA Eduardo Gonzalez read Commissioner Regalado's proposed amendment into the record noting that the amendment modified Section 1 of the resolution to change the minimum number of reviews the Commission Auditor would perform on prequalification pools from no less than one review per fiscal year to no less than three reviews per fiscal year. Additionally, the amendment specified that within 30 days of the resolution, the Commission Auditor would disclose to the Board how many reviews could be performed annually, with no fewer than three reviews per county fiscal year.
Vice Chairman Cabrera asked about the reasoning for increasing from one to three annual audits.
Commissioner Regalado explained that after reviewing all existing pools and those being added, she determined that more than one audit would be beneficial. She noted that the initial request during sunshine meetings was for one audit, but discussions with the Commission Auditor confirmed that three audits were feasible.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins inquired about value minimums for pools to be audited, noting that the County had over 200 pools of varying sizes. She asked whether the sponsors preferred random audits regardless of pool size or if there should be size considerations.
Commissioner Regalado responded that she preferred random audits, explaining that setting caps might lead smaller contractors to believe they would not be audited. She referenced her experience at the School Board, where random audits kept everyone accountable. Commissioner Regalado noted that larger pools already received more staff scrutiny, while problems were sometimes found in smaller pools that received less attention. She emphasized the benefits of prequalification pools, including bringing in new businesses and working faster than traditional RFPs. Commissioner Regalado maintained that pools provided accountability through change order and timing requirements, incentivizing contractors to stay on budget and on schedule. She described pools as essential for moving projects faster and noted that additional legislative items were being developed following sunshine meetings with the administration.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins referenced the recent office supplies audit conducted by the Commission Auditor, noting its thoroughness and depth. She questioned whether the Commission Auditor had the bandwidth to perform three equally detailed audits annually, given that the office supplies audit took over a year to complete.
Commissioner Regalado acknowledged the complexity of the office supplies audit, which involved physical inspections and data gaps in the INFORM system. She explained that subsequent audits would be different because all paperwork would be available through INFORM, eliminating the paper trail issues that complicated the office supplies investigation. Commissioner Regalado reiterated that discussions with the Commission Auditor indicated three annual audits were feasible.
Vice Chairman Cabrera commended the Commission Auditor and his team for their work.
Commissioner Regalado echoed these sentiments, expressing appreciation for the Commission Auditor's efforts.
Dr. Edwards requested the opportunity for the administration to collaborate with the Commission Auditor on audit reports. She proposed a friendly amendment allowing the administration to review audit reports and provide management letters in response, following standard auditing practices. Dr. Edwards noted that while collaboration already occurred during the audit process, there were sometimes disagreements about interpretations that could be addressed through formal management responses.
Commissioner Regalado rejected the friendly amendment, explaining that the purpose was to establish direct accountability to the Board. She expressed concern that past errors often went unreported to the Board because the administration resolved them beforehand, preventing the Board from seeing how things went wrong and making necessary policy corrections. Commissioner Regalado emphasized the importance of maintaining independence between the Auditor's office and the administration while acknowledging existing collaboration during the audit process.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins supported Dr. Edwards' request, noting that collaboration would help address missing information and provide more comprehensive reports to the Board. She suggested that administrative review would help avoid competing reports and ensure all perspectives were included.
Chairman Bermudez emphasized that past submissions of these reports had been delayed by a year, and that a new timeline was being introduced to streamline the process.
Commission Auditor Yinka Majekodunmi confirmed that three annual audits were feasible and explained that the office supplies audit was unique due to its expanded scope encompassing finances, physical inventory, operations, and systems. He confirmed that future pool audits would focus specifically on the procurement side.
Regarding collaboration, Mr. Majekodunmi clarified that his office already provided all observations to the administration and waited for responses before finalizing reports. He advised that every report went through a process where the administration was notified, sometimes months before final compilation. Mr. Majekodunmi noted that while the administration sometimes requested extensions, approval for delays was outside his purview when sponsoring commissioners wanted reports for legislation or presentations.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins sought clarification on what the administration was requesting that was not already happening.
Dr. Edwards explained she was referring to management letters where audited entities append response letters addressing findings and offering alternative perspectives. She noted that while ongoing collaboration occurred, discrepancies in perspective sometimes arose. Dr. Edwards proposed adding an amendment specifying deadlines for submitting responses to hold the administration accountable for timelines.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins expressed her desire to review administration response letters in advance of Board deliberation on final reports.
Commissioner Regalado emphasized that while everyone worked together, disagreement was not necessarily problematic. She noted that the administration had the ability to bring items to the agenda if they disagreed with audit findings, as they had done previously with the office supplies audit. Commissioner Regalado stressed that the item was designed to protect the Board's ability to receive independent information while maintaining existing collaborative practices.
Chairman Bermudez expressed concerns about the amendment and noted his desire for detailed discussions about timelines with the Mayor's office. He emphasized the importance of collaboration between the administration and the Board while noting that past report submissions had been delayed by up to a year. Chairman Bermudez stressed the need for efficient timelines while maintaining quality and thoroughness.
Hearing no questions or comments, the committee proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as amended along with Agenda Items 2A, 2C (as corrected), and 2E (as amended).
