REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE HEARD AS PROVIDED IN RULE 6.06
|
| |
| |
REPORT:
Chairman Rodriguez opened the reasonable opportunity for the public to be heard and the following persons appeared before the Board:
~Mr. Marion Brown, 12300 NW 17th Avenue, Miami, FL, expressed concern about the loss of public housing in the Black community and the level of homelessness among Black residents, and objected to the one-minute limit on public speakers, urging the Board to allow more time for the public to be heard.
~Ms. Debbie Wanninkhof, 255 West Heather Drive, Key Biscayne, FL, a 34-year resident of the County, thanked Commissioner Regalado for sponsoring the resolution urging the Florida Legislature to enact hands-free driving legislation. She described the death of her son, who was killed by a driver who was speeding and using a cell phone, and she urged the Board to pass the resolution.
~Ms. Miriam Ramos appeared on behalf of the President of the Cuban American Bar Association in support of naming the Miami-Dade Justice Center after Osvaldo Soto. She described Mr. Soto, a founding member and past president of the association, as a civil rights leader who advanced opportunities for Hispanic attorneys and worked to dismantle discriminatory laws.
~Mr. Joshua Padron, 9100 South Dadeland Boulevard, Miami, FL, read into the record a list of officials and community leaders supporting the naming, and noted a letter of support signed by nearly 400 attorneys, judges, and community leaders.
~Mr. Dax Bello, 7960 SW 52nd Court, Miami, FL, continued reading supporters into the record and noted that, although most of the County's population and many of its sitting judges were Hispanic, no courthouse in the state had been named after a Hispanic.
~Mr. Gene Stearns described touring the nearly completed courthouse, praised it as the finest he had seen in 52 years of trying cases, and urged the Board to name it after Osvaldo Soto, the father of Judge Bertila Soto.
~Ms. Giselle Gutierrez, 13061 SW 107th Street, Miami, FL, spoke in support of the naming and read a letter from Florida Supreme Court Justice John Couriel endorsing it.
~Mr. Dariel Fernandez, Miami-Dade County Tax Collector, spoke in support of Agenda Item 14A4, which would establish penalties for the resale of Tax Collector appointments that should be free, and thanked Commissioner Cabrera for sponsoring the measure.
Seeing no one else come forward wishing to speak, Chairman Rodriguez closed the reasonable opportunity to be heard.

MOTION TO SET THE AGENDA AND "PULL LIST"
|
| |
| |
REPORT:
CA Bonzon-Keenan advised that the Board would recess at the appropriate time to convene a special meeting on the Public Health Trust's fiscal year 2023-2024 external audit, set for 11:00 a.m. She advised that the following Agenda Items were added to the Pull List at the request of the members indicated:
~Commissioners Higgins and Regalado � 8N2;

~Commissioners Bastien and Higgins � 11A10;
~Commissioners Gonzalez, Gilbert III, and Higgins � 11A20; and
~Commissioner Gonzalez � 14A5.
She noted that Agenda Item 11A2 had been withdrawn and that the sponsor of Agenda Item 11A3 had requested its deferral to the April 1, 2025 meeting and released her pull, so the item would be deferred with the setting of the agenda. She further noted that Commissioner Cohen Higgins requested to bifurcate Agenda Item 14A1 and its supplement.
She also noted the following sponsorship requests:
~Agenda Items 2B2, 2B4, 3B2, 3B4, and 11A8 � Commissioner Regalado added as a co-sponsor;
~Agenda Items 11A16 and 11A20 � Commissioner Cabrera added as a co-sponsor;
~Agenda Item 11A22 � Senator Garcia added as a co-sponsor;
~Agenda Item 14A1 � Commissioner Bastien added as a co-sponsor;
~Agenda Item 14A4 � Senator Garcia and Commissioners Bermudez, Regalado, and Steinberg added as co-sponsors; and
~Agenda Item 14A5 � Senator Garcia and Commissioners Cabrera and Bastien added as co-sponsors.
CA Bonzon-Keenan stated that the items to be considered would be those listed in the printed final agenda, with the additions, deferrals, withdrawals, and scrivener's errors noted in Chairman Rodriguez's memorandum and the items she had identified, and that the Commission would approve them by a single vote setting the agenda, except for Ordinances for First Reading, Public Hearing items, Agenda Item 6B1 and the special joint meeting with the Public Health Trust, Ordinances set for Second Reading, and the following Pull List items: 8N2, 8N3, 10A1, 11A1, 11A9, 11A10, 11A16, 11A20, 14A1 and its supplement, 14A2, 14A3, 14A4, 14A5, and 14B1.
Commissioner Gonzalez moved that the Board approve today�s agenda, including the changes noted in Chairman Rodriguez�s Changes Memorandum dated March 18, 2025, and the additional changes noted by County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan. This motion was seconded by Vice Chairman McGhee, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 12-0 (Commissioner Cabrera was absent).

ANNUAL JOINT MEETING OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH TRUST AND BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Following adjournment of the Joint Meeting between the Board and the PHT, the Board resumed its Regular meeting at 11:02 a.m. with ten members present (Vice Chairman McGhee, Senator Garcia, and Commissioner Cabrera were absent).
Mr. Amadeo Lopez-Castro III, PHT Chairman, presented the annual report on the progress of the Jackson Health System (JHS), noting that it was his first year presiding as Chairman. He affirmed the system's mission of providing one standard of care to every resident regardless of ability to pay, credited Mr. Carlos Migoya as the driver of sustainable change since 2011, and recognized the senior leadership team before turning the presentation over to Mr. Migoya.
Mr. Migoya reported that $50 million of the approved revenue bond would fund the replacement of the system's outdated electronic health records, and that bond proceeds would also support capital projects, including a 54,000-square-foot third-floor shell above the new emergency room, a second rooftop helipad on the Memorial campus, a renovation of the maternity triage area at the Women's Hospital beginning in July, and the exploration of an expansion of Jackson West Medical Center in Doral.
Mr. Migoya stated that protecting supplemental funding was a top priority, noting that Jackson served more uninsured and Medicaid patients than any other hospital in Florida and that funding cuts could be devastating. He reported that the system's transformation work had saved $160 million over two years without cutting jobs or compromising patient care, that patient satisfaction scores had reached record highs with national recognition, and that nurse turnover was 9 percent against 20 percent statewide and 22 percent nationally. He thanked Commissioner Hardemon for sponsoring the workforce housing project in the Health District, which would replace the former Jackson Medical Towers with more than 800 rental units along with a hotel, parking garage, and retail space, the majority designated as workforce or affordable housing for healthcare workers, with phase one to be completed by 2030. He noted his pending 14th anniversary and recent contract renewal and announced the promotion of Mr. David Zambrana to President and Chief Operating Officer.
Chairman Rodriguez thanked Mr. Migoya for his leadership, credited the Trust board, and thanked him for recommending the firm that had assisted with the $160 million in savings, which the County was considering engaging.
Commissioner Bastien commended Mr. Migoya and congratulated the new Chairman, Mr. Lopez-Castro, and the past chairman, Mr. Walter Richardson.
Commissioner Gilbert III asked whether the system had projected the effect of potential Medicaid cuts, and Mr. Migoya responded that the federal direction remained uncertain, that the impact so far appeared minimal, and that he was closely monitoring developments in Washington and Tallahassee.
Commissioner Gilbert III asked that any threats be flagged to the Chairman so the County's lobbyists could be apprised.
Senator Garcia and Commissioner Regalado also commended Mr. Migoya and the PHT for the system's performance and its service to the community.

REPORT:
Commissioner Regalado stated that she had pulled the item because of recurring issues with the Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust (CITT). She noted that the CITT served as the citizens' watchdog over the half-penny transportation surtax and that its input was important, but she described a growing disconnect over how projects were directed. She stated that the Board did not always recognize the efforts some members made to advance transportation projects without drawing on half-penny funds, citing the reconstruction of Grove Station by the developer of an associated rapid transit zone, the completed work on Douglas Road, her own efforts in South Miami, and Commissioner Higgins's work on Vizcaya. She credited the CITT's assistance with the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) and stated that she wanted to support the CITT but continued to encounter obstacles she attributed to possible failures in communication or staffing.
Commissioner Higgins explained that the item sought approval of the CITT's five-year implementation plan for the People's Transportation Plan (PTP). She stated that, for two consecutive years, the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) had proposed projects that the County Attorney's Office had opined were part of Exhibit 1 and eligible for PTP funding, and that the CITT had rejected those projects in both years. She explained that Agenda Item 8N3 would return the matter to the CITT for reconsideration, with the County Attorney's Office in agreement, and she circulated a list showing how the projects had been delayed. She cited as an example three Metromover stations with inoperable fire panels that required the County to pay for a 24-hour fire watch. Noting a difficult budget year, she stated that cash was available in the PTP funds and needed to be activated where legally permissible and consistent with the PTP ordinance to maintain the safe operation and expansion of the transit system as approved by voters. She stated that if the CITT rejected the projects again, the Department might return to ask the Board to override that decision. She added that she met weekly with the DTPW on the budget, which had narrowed from a $140 million gap to roughly $50 million, and she encouraged the Board to approve the five-year plan and return the projects to the CITT, after which the plan could be modified to include them.
Commissioner Gilbert III stated that he supported both items but found the approval process cumbersome. He recommended streamlining it so that, when the CITT declined a recommendation, the matter would come directly to the Board for decision on the advice of the County Attorney's Office, rather than cycling back and forth. He stressed that delay carried real costs, noting that projects scheduled to begin in 2023 were now slated for late 2025 and that materials such as steel grew more expensive over time, and he asked that the process be reviewed so the Board could move faster.
Senator Garcia stated that he supported the item and agreed with Commissioner Gilbert III. He observed that the surtax funds had been intended to expand the transit system but were increasingly being used for infrastructure and equipment replacement, which he believed had stalled expansion. He stated that the Board should examine its funding mechanisms and the amounts directed to expansion versus maintenance, and that it should not continue drawing down these funds for maintenance.
Commissioner Bermudez stated that he concurred with Commissioner Gilbert III and Commissioner Higgins and asked whether a fire watch required a paid person to be physically present.
Commissioner Higgins responded that a fire watch required a person on site 24 hours a day.
Commissioner Bermudez stated that this was an inefficient and costly result of years of delay and not the best use of resources.
Commissioner Regalado characterized the matter as a legal and ideological issue and stated that the solution was not to remove the CITT's authority. She acknowledged that timing remained a problem and recommended a more holistic approach, noting that the Board had been diligent in finding other funding sources and in using zoning to advance transportation projects.
There being no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the proposed resolution, as presented.

REPORT:
Commissioner Gilbert III requested clarification on how the proposed HIA-Line project would be funded. He explained that he wanted to understand the arrangement in order to avoid a situation similar to the Underline, where, in his view, the County had ultimately absorbed costs that drew funding away from transit development.
Senator Garcia explained that the HIA-Line, located in the City of Hialeah and spanning the boundary between his district and Commissioner Cabrera's, was modeled on the Underline along U.S. 1. He stated that the City of Hialeah would be responsible for the construction and maintenance of the project, and that any future request for County or State participation would be addressed through negotiation, but that responsibility for the system rested with the City at present.
Commissioner Gilbert III indicated that he would support the item, noting that he did not favor treating communities differently and that areas such as Hialeah should have the same opportunities as those served by the Underline. He cautioned, however, that the Board should remain mindful of funding being drawn from the transit system for projects of this kind.
Commissioner Regalado offered a clarification, stating that the Underline was supported in large part by private funding and an active supporting organization. She recalled that she had previously sponsored an item, together with a companion measure that was not adopted, to allow park impact fees to be used for linear parks, trails, and greenways, and that she continued to direct her district's park impact fees toward greenways, including the Underline, in connection with rapid transit zone development. Commissioner Regalado encouraged other members to make use of the advertising and sponsorship mechanisms established for the Underline for comparable projects such as the HIA-Line, and she advised the Board to fund trails and greenways through park impact fees rather than acquiring pocket parks, which she considered difficult to maintain. She indicated that she would bring the prior item back for the Board's consideration.
Commissioner Higgins asked the County Attorney's Office to determine whether the zoning code provisions she had developed to allow signage and donor recognition along the Underline applied to other trails, and stated that she would seek to amend the code if they did not.
Commissioner Gilbert III asked the Administration to verify whether the Underline was in fact largely privately funded, expressing doubt that this was the case once State and County contributions were considered. He stated that funding directed to the Underline could have served communities that lacked rapid mass transit, and he cautioned that decisions of this nature could widen disparities between areas of the County. He reiterated his support for the item.
There being no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the proposed resolution, as presented.
Following the vote, Commissioner Regalado offered a further clarification, noting that the Underline had received contributions from the municipalities and the State, that the County was not its principal funder, and that the project had also raised private funds.

REPORT:
Commissioner Bastien observed that District 2 had historically been among the County's most underserved and under-resourced districts, with areas affected by deteriorated streets and inadequate sewer and flood-mitigation infrastructure, and that her constituents had asked for substantial infrastructure improvements and mixed-use development. She stated that she had initially been concerned about the item but had since received information from the Administration indicating that a $27.5 million grant originally allocated to the Shenley Park area in District 6 would be applied to District 2.
Mr. David Clodfelter explained that the item substituted a state Environmental Protection Agency grant of $27.5 million, which had to be legally obligated by December 2024, in place of the General Obligation Bond (GOB) funding previously designated for the work, freeing that bond funding for use on the District 2 projects.
In response to further questions from Commissioner Bastien, Mr. Clodfelter confirmed that the item would not affect the GOB-funded projects already planned for District 2 and that those projects would be completed on schedule, with the Administration coordinating with the Water and Sewer Department to that end.
Commissioner Bastien thanked the Administration for the confirmation and commended Commissioner Cabrera, the sponsor, who was absent, for his support of the district.
There being no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the proposed resolution, as presented.

REPORT:
Agenda Items 11A16 and 11A20, both urgings to the State Legislature concerning property tax relief, were taken up together, with the Board agreeing to vote on them separately.
Commissioner Gilbert III urged the Board to remain mindful of its General Fund obligations when adopting urgings that addressed the homestead and primary residence exemptions. He noted that the primary residence exemption was broader than the homestead exemption and could represent a substantial reduction to the General Fund, which would affect the County's ability to provide services such as law enforcement, parks, and transportation.
Commissioner Regalado concurred and added that the Board should examine the disparities among districts in their contributions to the General Fund, the distribution of property values, and the allocation of impact fees. She cautioned that large reductions in homestead value could make some districts unaffordable for longtime residents and that the limited portability of the homestead exemption constrained the supply of single-family homes.
Commissioner Higgins expressed concern that the whereas clauses of Agenda Item 11A20 amounted to asking the State to eliminate local government and the services it funded, including fire protection, libraries, and parks, without informing residents of what they would lose, and she stated that residents were better served when revenue was spent locally. As to Agenda Item 11A16, she noted that the item drew no distinction between residents who needed tax relief and those who did not, suggested that it be limited to income-constrained veterans and seniors, and agreed that the lack of portability constrained the housing supply.
Commissioner Gonzalez expressed full support for both items and requested to be added as a co-prime sponsor, which was accepted. He stated that he did not regard the items as eliminating local government and that he supported reducing the cost of government and expanding residents' ability to own their homes.
Commissioner Regalado further stated that the homestead exemption and the portability cap were based on outdated housing values and required updating, that the State's proposed alternative of a substantially higher sales tax would not be viable for residents, and that changes of this magnitude could be disruptive for working families. She recommended that any such proposal be placed before the voters and that the two items not be considered together.
Chairman Rodriguez confirmed that the items would be discussed together but voted on separately.
There being no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

Vice Chairman McGhee, the sponsor, acknowledged the concerns raised by other members and stated that the item addressed the burden of property taxes on primary residences. He noted that veterans, seniors, and middle-class residents on fixed or stagnant incomes were at risk of losing their primary homes to tax sales when they fell behind on property taxes, and he distinguished primary homesteaded residences from investment and commercial properties. He stated that reducing property tax revenue would not necessarily require service cuts, that alternative revenue sources existed, and that much of the County's sales tax revenue was generated by tourism. He requested that staff prepare public records on the number of tax deeds filed in the County and the demographics most affected, on the projected cost to the County of eliminating property taxes, and on the level of resident support for such a measure, which he believed was substantial. He emphasized that the item was an urging that would require a constitutional amendment and State action, and he asked that it be advanced for the State's review.
Commissioner Higgins moved to defer the item, but the motion died for lack of a second, and consideration of the resolution continued.
Commissioner Hardemon expressed support, stating that government should not tax a primary homesteaded residence continuously throughout the owner's tenure and that the resulting revenue question was a separate discussion that did not need to be resolved in order to proceed. He stated that residents should have the opportunity to decide the matter, that lost revenue would not necessarily require service reductions given alternative funding sources, and that providing relief to resident homeowners could generate economic activity in their communities.
Commissioner Regalado clarified that she supported veterans and residents with disabilities and noted the County's existing efforts on their behalf, but she stated that the financial implications of the item and the available alternatives had not been studied. She cautioned that urgings could expand the State's authority over the County, recommended a comprehensive, County-developed examination of the options and their implications before any such proposal advanced, and noted that many residents lacked adequate information about the consequences of eliminating property taxes or about the alternatives.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins stated that she supported the intent of the item if it proved economically feasible but that, as worded and without supporting data, it lacked the detail she needed to support it.
There being no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

REPORT:
Chairman Rodriguez opened the public hearing, and the following persons appeared before the Board in support of the item:
~Ms. Taria Smith Lewis, 1137 NW 100th Terrace, who identified herself as the mother of hip-hop artist Mike Smith;
~Ms. Sharon Frazier, 6516 NW 12th Avenue, Miami, FL;
~Mr. Theophilus Williams, 1391 NW 95th Street, Miami, FL;
~Mr. Kenneth Kilpatrick, 5167 NW 209th Avenue, Miami, FL;
~Mr. Roy Hardemon, Chairman of the Model City Advisory Board and former member of the Florida House of Representatives for the 108th District; and
~Mr. Broadway Harwood, 6214 Broadway Avenue, Miami, FL.
Seeing no one else come forward wishing to speak, Chairman Rodriguez closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Hardemon proffered an amendment to delete the co-designation of the portion of NW 18th Avenue between NW 62nd Terrace and NW 71st Street as "Memory Lane Avenue," with conforming changes to the title. He explained that the streets along NW 18th Avenue would be co-designated after songs by local artists in recognition of the area's Black musical legacy and its history as the Broadway entertainment corridor. Commissioner Hardemon compared the approach to the prior designation of a Little Havana street as "Azucar" in honor of Celia Cruz, stated that the naming had already drawn national attention, and said the designations would advance economic development and tourism and would accompany recent infrastructure improvements. He added that co-designations were not permanent and could be changed, and he stated that he was open to substituting any song titles members found objectionable.
Commissioner Higgins described the concept as innovative but objected to the proposed "Grind With Me Terrace" designation as inappropriate toward women, stating that she would support the item if that name were changed.
Commissioner Hardemon agreed to select a different title.
Commissioner Bastien spoke in support, describing Miami as the capital of the Americas and stating that the designations would add to the County's culture and appeal.
Commissioner Regalado expressed support, stating that the investment in the area was overdue and that an unconventional approach was needed to create momentum and economic opportunity, crediting Commissioner Hardemon's vision.
Senator Garcia recalled that he had opposed the item at the March 4, 2025 meeting because of the late hour and the absence of public input, stated that he appreciated the residents who testified and Commissioner Hardemon's willingness to change the "Grind With Me" designation, and said that he would support the item.
Commissioner Hardemon stated that he would change that designation to "People Change."
Commissioner Gilbert III expressed support, stating that deference was appropriate to the district commissioner on a matter unique to his district.
Vice Chairman McGhee expressed support, described the item as economically empowering, and requested to be listed as a co-sponsor.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution as amended.
The foregoing proposed resolution was amended as follows:
- To delete the reference to �That portion of NW 18th Avenue between NW 62nd Terrace and NW 71st Street as �Memory Lane Avenue�, and to make conforming changes to the title; and
-To change the street name from �Grind with Me Terrace� to �People Change�.
