PRESENTATION OF A PROCLAMATION TO TERRY MURPHY, FOR HIS RETIREMENT AND YEARS OF SERVICE TO MIAMI-DADE COUNTY
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Cohen Higgins introduced a presentation honoring Mr. Terry Murphy on the occasion of his retirement after 32 years of service to Miami-Dade County. She reviewed the range of positions he had held, including service on county commission staff, as chief of staff to county commissioners, and in the Office of the Inspector General, and she traced the beginning of his career to the period following Hurricane Andrew. She highlighted his work on initiatives that benefited low-income and vulnerable residents, including the living wage ordinance, the wage theft ordinance, and family leave policy, and she spoke to his reputation as a thoughtful and well-read colleague.
Mayor Daniella Levine Cava recounted that Mr. Murphy had been her introduction to County government through the living wage ordinance, an effort she had led and one he had guided through political strategy, and she credited him with mentoring her throughout her career in public service. She noted that the County had been the first in the Southeast to adopt such an ordinance and that it had remained in effect despite later efforts to repeal it.
Commissioner Bermudez offered positive remarks on his experience with Mr. Murphy, describing him as someone who understood County government as well as anyone and who worked effectively and for sound reasons, including on matters where the two had been on opposing sides.
Mr. Felix Jimenez, Inspector General, reviewed Mr. Murphy's contributions during the final five years of his County career, which he spent with the Office of the Inspector General, and described it as a privilege to have worked with him.
Commissioner Bastien thanked Mr. Murphy for his work on the living wage ordinance and acknowledged his knowledge, generosity, humility, and consistent willingness to assist colleagues and serve the community.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins presented a proclamation declaring the day Dr. Terry Murphy Day in recognition of his service and retirement, on behalf of Chairman Rodriguez, Mayor Levine Cava, and the Board.
Mr. Murphy accepted the proclamation and addressed the Board with reflections on his County career.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION HONORING THE LIFE OF LINCOLN D�AZ-BALART
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Chairman Rodriguez introduced a presentation honoring the life of former U.S. Representative Lincoln Diaz-Balart and extended condolences, on behalf of the Board, to the Diaz-Balart family, including his mother and his late wife. He described Mr. Diaz-Balart as a fighter and a pioneer who led against the Cuban regime at a time when doing so was neither popular nor politically favorable.
Commissioner Cabrera reviewed Mr. Diaz-Balart's advocacy for the Cuban American community and his decades of public service in the state House, the state Senate, and as one of the first Cuban Americans in Congress, where he fought for freedom for people across Latin America. He noted that the Board was honoring Mr. Diaz-Balart both through the sympathy resolution and through a related effort, in conjunction with the City of Hialeah, to rename a portion of East 4th Avenue in the area Mr. Diaz-Balart had long represented.
Commissioner Bastien recounted her experiences with Mr. Diaz-Balart when she brought members of the Haitian American community to Washington to advocate for due process, describing him as reliable, consistently accessible, and a man of his word. She recalled his commitment to assist the Haitian community following passage of the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act, which he had led to help Central Americans obtain permanent residency, and noted that he honored that commitment.
Additional members spoke to Mr. Diaz-Balart's legacy and his impact on the community.
Vice Chairman McGhee called for a case study of his
life and career as a model of effective public service.
Commissioner Bermudez recalled Mr. Diaz-Balart's human rights work, the influence of his father Rafael, and his ability to build relationships across the aisle to advance legislation. Further remarks came from members including Commissioners Gilbert III, Gonzalez, Regalado, and Cohen Higgins, and from Mayor Levine Cava, who spoke to his mentorship and his lasting influence on the community.
Mr. Diaz-Balart's son addressed the Board to thank the members for their words and support.
Commissioner Cabrera presented a sympathy resolution, on behalf of the Mayor, the Chairman, and the Board, honoring the life of Mr. Diaz-Balart.

� Dr. John Johnson, 222 W Park Avenue, Chiefland, Florida, a pediatric dentist representing the American Fluoridation Society, stated there was no credible evidence of neurotoxic effects and urged the Board to retain fluoridation.
� Mr. Erwin Sainville, a board-certified pediatric dentist appearing on behalf of the Florida Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, supported keeping fluoridated water at an optimal level and warned of increased dental decay among underserved children if it were removed.
Separately, Ms. Brenda Betancourt, 1436 SW 6th Street, Miami, Florida appeared in support of Agenda Item 11A2 and posed questions concerning Agenda Item 11A3, including the availability of lease spaces at Miami International Airport (MIA) and street lighting on certain main roads.

Commissioner Gilbert III released his pull on Agenda Item 11A3, stating that the Board's procurement directives should not be interpreted narrowly and that the administration should not find loopholes with the requirement to provide advance notice of upcoming procurements applied to all County procurements rather than only those handled by the procurement department.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins moved that the Board approve today�s agenda, with the additional changes noted by County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Gonzalez, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 13-0.

MAYORAL APPOINTMENT - DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC WORKS(Mayor)
|
Accepted
|
| |
REPORT:
Mayor Levine Cava announced the appointment of Stacey Miller as Director of the Department of Transportation and Public Works and provided an overview of her background. She described Ms. Miller as a proven leader and skilled administrator and expressed gratitude to Deputy Director Josiel Ferrer-Diaz, who had served as interim director over the past year and overseen the department's capital program.
Ms. Miller addressed the Board, noting that her start date would be April 7, expressing appreciation for the opportunity, and committing to the County's transportation system after 34 years with the State.
Commissioner Bermudez welcomed Ms. Miller and emphasized that transit and transportation were distinct. He noted that in his district, transportation was as important as transit, and expressed the hope that transportation would not take a secondary role to transit going forward.
Chairman Rodriguez reinforced that point.
Commissioner Regalado welcomed Ms. Miller, recalled their shared service on the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority board, and thanked her for her consistent support of Miami-Dade County.
Senator Garcia welcomed Ms. Miller and emphasized the importance of connectivity to Hialeah, Miami Lakes, and the surrounding region by way of I-75, and referenced efforts to restore federal funding for related projects.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins extended her welcome, expressed appreciation to the interim director, and stated that she looked forward to working with Ms. Miller.
Commissioner Higgins thanked Ms. Miller for her contributions over the past four years, commending the improvement in customer service during her tenure as Secretary.
Commissioner Steinberg echoed her colleagues' sentiments, thanked the interim director for stepping up, and welcomed Ms. Miller, and Commissioner Hardemon indicated that he would speak with her soon.
Commissioners Gonzalez, Bastien, and Gilbert III congratulated and welcomed Ms. Miller on her new role with the County.

REPORT:
Commissioner Gilbert III, prefacing his motion with the view that the Board should expand access and diversity in the concessionaire program, proffered an amendment to the foregoing proposed resolution, which ACA Murray read into the record. The amendment directed the County Mayor or the Mayor's designee to negotiate agreements introducing additional concessions in vacant, underutilized, or repurposed post-security space across the north, central, and south terminals, and waived the competitive bidding process. It named a joint venture operating as Zaxby's Group Miami for two Zaxby's locations, together with Miami Air Ventures LLC and Premier Travel Solutions, and provided a right of first refusal where suitable space could not initially be identified.
With the motion on the floor, several members proposed additional operators, each accepted by Commissioner Gilbert III.
At Commissioner Cabrera's request, and through the County Attorney's office, Vicky Bakery and JAM Subs MIA LLC were added; Vice Chairman McGhee added Verge Group LLC and Tersylbran Inc.; Commissioner Bastien added Kasa Champlet Restaurant and Lounge; Commissioner Hardemon added DC Garrett Group; and Senator Garcia added Snap Crack LLC.
Commissioner Bermudez questioned whether the Board should be selecting companies for the airport at the last moment without any vetting, and indicated he would not support that approach, adding that while the proposed companies might be legitimate, he had understood there to be an established process that the Board now appeared to be circumventing.
Commissioner Regalado stated that her concerns lay with the item as drafted, which the Board had not yet discussed, and that adding concessionaires was a separate matter and not the proper process. She explained her understanding that the item sought to achieve significant change at the airport without County expense, by having the existing concessionaires fund improvements to their spaces in exchange for extended agreements, and she asked that the Board address that premise before the item expanded further.
ACA Murray corrected an earlier misreading, clarifying that the reference should be to JAM Subs MIA LLC rather than Flavor Craft LLC. He further explained that the motion directed the Mayor to negotiate leases with the named firms, but that because the process was non-competitive, the Home Rule Charter required both the Board and the Mayor to independently find that waiving competitive bidding served the County's best interest, with the Mayor filing a recommendation with the Clerk; absent such a finding as to any firm, the motion would be inoperative with respect to that firm.
Chairman Rodriguez shared Commissioner Bermudez's hesitation about last-minute additions and emphasized the importance of the item given the level of investment at stake. He observed that the original item extended time to businesses previously vetted through a competitive process and that he had reservations about firms he had not had the opportunity to discuss with the administration, noting that operating a concession at the airport differed materially from operating elsewhere. He stated that he welcomed competition but wished to understand how the process would function before lending his support.
Commissioner Gilbert III explained that the operators he proposed were experienced airport concessionaires who met established criteria, and that while the item extended the terms of existing concessionaires, doing so would foreclose other qualified operators from competing for the airport's vacant spaces. He maintained that the Board should not extend incumbents indefinitely while closing the door to newcomers based on selections made decades earlier, and that the additions would raise the caliber and diversity of the airport's concessions, particularly its food offerings, and allow locally rooted and national brands to expand. He acknowledged that the approach waived the competitive process and noted that the administration and the airport retained the ability to assess each operator's capability during negotiations and return the agreements to the Board.
Commissioner Cabrera echoed Commissioner Gilbert III's reasoning, recalling that the committee had expressed a desire for greater variety and local character among the airport's vendors. He noted that several of the proposed operators were already in negotiations with the airport and advocated addressing the airport's concessions comprehensively rather than piecemeal.
Chairman Rodriguez stated that he agreed with the underlying intent but remained troubled by the process, observing that committee was the proper venue for such vetting. He indicated that he was comfortable with bid waivers where they made sense, and asked to hear from his colleagues.
Commissioner Higgins asked whether the terms the Mayor would negotiate with the additional operators would be equal to or greater than those in the original item, observing that the amendment did not say so expressly.
Commissioner Gilbert III responded that the added operators would become subject to all of the same requirements and investment obligations.
In response to Commissioner Higgins�s request for clarification, ACA Murray advised that the agreement attached to the item was the airport's standard lease and concession agreement, from which the administration would not be expected to deviate without cause.
At Commissioner Cohen Higgins's request, Commissioner Gilbert III agreed to state affirmatively, as part of the motion, that the added operators would be bound by those terms, and the Chairman accepted the clarification.
Mr. Morales advised that the new agreements raised the baseline of what operators paid, creating greater parity and additional revenue, and that any operator filling one of the approximately twelve vacant spaces would sign the same agreement and assume the same investment commitments, including the mid-term refresh obligation. He noted that the County vetted operators to ensure they could succeed, that the airport maintained a strong record for small-business and local participation and high customer-satisfaction ratings; and that the agreements increased the share devoted to food and beverage consistent with industry trends.
Vice Chairman McGhee acknowledged the administration�s explanation, noting that the two operators he had proposed already worked within the airport. He described Commissioner Gilbert�s III approach as offering a diversity of concepts reflective of the community, one intended to advance access and opportunity while still subjecting each operator to the same vetting and standards applied to others.
Commissioner Gonzalez stated that Commissioner Higgins's clarification had addressed his initial hesitancy, and that while he supported an airport that reflected Miami's character, any operator unable to meet the criteria and investment requirements should not qualify.
Commissioner Hardemon noted that he had advocated in committee for diversifying both the airport's businesses and their ownership. He explained that the incumbent concessionaires receiving extensions had participated in the process and engaged with the airport, that the operators he submitted were responsible concessionaires who operated elsewhere and held local businesses, and that he supported Commissioner Gilbert�s III amendment.
Commissioner Bermudez stated that he agreed with Commissioners Hardemon and Gilbert III on diversification but objected to the Board determining from the dais which companies would be added, and proposed voting on the item separately and bifurcating the amendment for clarity. He advised that he would file a public-records request to identify the entities the airport had been negotiating with, and reiterated that he supported the item but not the amendment as written.
Commissioner Regalado reiterated that the item should not have left committee and that the Board was considering a matter not noticed to the public and materially different from the printed agenda. She argued that selecting operators from the dais amounted to picking winners and urged instead a defined open window, of thirty or sixty days, with administrative vetting, as the Board had done for solid waste, emphasizing that genuine diversity required a competitive and transparent process.
Commissioner Gilbert III responded that concessionaires were frequently added at the airport without the Board's involvement at all, and that the Board, as the elected representative of the County's residents, was well positioned to make the decision. He stated that he had reviewed the committee proceedings and identified quality operators, that the Mayor could decline any that proved unsuitable, and that addressing the additions together would avoid an inconsistent, piecemeal modernization of the airport.
Commissioner Bermudez asked whether the committee had produced any motion authorizing members to suggest companies for the airport. He indicated that he would vote against the amendment, noting that naming operators absent a stated process did not serve the interest of transparency, while reiterating that he supported the underlying intent and Commissioner Hardemon's call for new opportunities.
Chairman Rodriguez recalled that the matter had been discussed in committee, where Commissioner Hardemon had raised it, but stated that he did not believe a formal motion had resulted from that discussion.
Commissioner Regalado requested clarification from Commissioner Gilbert III regarding his objection to opening a thirty-day window through which other operators could participate.
Commissioner Gilbert III responded that the additions should proceed together to avoid an uneven modernization of the terminals, and clarified that the proposal did not assign staff to particular outcomes but directed the administration and the airport to determine where the operators best fit and to report back if agreement could not be reached.
Chairman Rodriguez noted that members who disagreed could vote the amendment down, and asked the co-prime sponsors whether they accepted the amendments.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins, noting that she and Commissioner Cabrera were the item's co-prime sponsors, stated that she considered the additions a friendly amendment following the discussion, and Commissioner Cabrera concurred.
The Board proceeded to vote to accept the amendments read into the record which added the operators and incorporated the requirement that they be bound by the same terms and investment obligations, by voice vote.
Commissioner Higgins voiced her concerns about the process on the record, noting that no competitive procurement had occurred but that the airport had long struggled to improve its facilities and that successive administrations had not issued a concession solicitation despite their authority to do so. She commended Commissioners Cohen Higgins and Cabrera for preserving living-wage protections for airport concession workers and, modeling her proposal on that approach, introduced an amendment addressing single-use plastics and closed-loop recycling, which ACA Murray read into the record. Under the amendment, if the County's related ordinances were preempted or rendered unenforceable and a concessionaire chose not to comply, its percentage fee would increase by one-half of one-tenth of one percent for each non-compliant location, with the proceeds dedicated to sustainability initiatives at the airport.
Commissioner Higgins estimated the increase at approximately $500,000 and described it as aspirational rather than punitive, explaining that the underlying requirement applied only to the greatest extent practicable and would not compel impractical changes, such as the plastic wrapping of baggage.
In response to Chairman Rodriguez�s question, ACA Murray explained that the mechanism mirrored the living-wage provision. He stated that, rather than allowing a concessionaire simply to cease compliance if the State restricted the County's authority, the agreement afforded a commercial choice between complying at the lower rate or declining and paying the incrementally higher percentage. ACA Murray advised that the approach was legal and defensible because the choice rested with the concessionaire.
Mr. Felipe Valls, Jr., owner of Versailles, advised that the provision created a strong incentive to reduce plastic use while serving as a responsible steward, and that it should not meaningfully increase prices to consumers.
Commissioners Cohen Higgins and Cabrera accepted the amendment as friendly, and the Board adopted it by voice vote.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins proceeded to present a set of negotiated revisions to the lease agreement, which the concessionaires had agreed to after extensive negotiation and which ACA Murray read into the record.
The revisions adjusted the term-extension mechanics tied to future awards and to additional investment, allowing a concessionaire to earn up to three additional years for each increment of investment above a stated threshold. They also increased the share of investment that could be claimed for furniture, fixtures, and equipment; revised the valuation standard applicable upon termination for convenience; removed a sentence concerning the living-wage provision; and extended the concessionaire response deadline from ten to forty-five days.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins explained that the changes would modernize the airport to meet rising passenger volume while avoiding the delay a new solicitation would impose, and described the role a dedicated concession manager would play in monitoring compliance.
Commissioner Regalado observed that, while the item imposed deadlines on the concessionaires, it did not bind the County and the airport to corresponding deadlines for issuing permits.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins responded that the item established a working group to expedite design and permit review on a monthly basis, provided for a dedicated concession manager, directed the responsible regulatory department to act expeditiously, and required a construction schedule to be agreed within seventy-five days and attached to the agreements.
Commissioner Regalado recommended that the County's standard permitting turnaround requirements be expressly incorporated, and questioned the absence of defined terms in the section governing other airport services.
ACA Murray and Commissioner Cabrera clarified that those negotiations could not yield a benefit greater than or inconsistent with the principal concession terms, and Mr. Morales noted a mandatory mid-term refresh obligation.
Commissioner Regalado further proposed, as a matter of policy, that no lease at the airport exceed the service life of its structure.
Commissioner Cabrera opined the proposal was better suited to a standalone item, and Commissioner Regalado agreed to bring it separately.
Commissioner Hardemon requested that the rental car companies operating at the Rental Car Center be added to the section addressing other services, citing their substantial ongoing financial obligations to the facility.
Chairman Rodriguez and Commissioner Cabrera opposed the addition, explaining that the rental car operators were not among the concession spaces contemplated by the item and that including them could place the item at risk.
Commissioner Hardemon�s request was not incorporated.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as amended.
Following passage, Commissioner Regalado offered her separate motion concerning lease terms and structural service life. After discussion, she revised it to direct the administration to return at the next meeting with a list of leases across the County's airports whose terms exceeded the service life of their structures.

REPORT:
Commissioner Gonzalez presented the foregoing proposed resolution, asking the Board to reconsider a decades-old practice of adding fluoride to the County's public drinking water in light of evolving science and concerns about the absence of consumer choice. He recounted the history of water fluoridation, noted the federal court ruling directing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reevaluate fluoride levels, emphasized the cost of maintaining the County's injection systems, and stressed the concern for those without the ability to opt out, particularly infants, children, and pregnant women.
At Commissioner Gonzalez's invitation, Florida Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph Ladapo and Dr. Ashley Malenfant addressed the Board.
Dr. Joseph Ladapo, building on Commissioner Gonzalez's appeal to prudence, stated that the question was not whether to support good dental health, which he endorsed, but how to weigh the scientific concerns that had been raised regarding the neurotoxic effects of fluoride and its potential influence on behavior and intelligence. He observed that continuing to add fluoride required the Board either to conclude that the body of research indicating harm was incorrect or to accept the risk of harm to vulnerable residents, particularly children and pregnant women. He stated that he did not believe that research was wrong and, on that basis, supported reconsidering the practice.
Commissioner Regalado moved to defer the item until at least the end of the legislative session, observing that the item had been placed before the Board without committee review, whereas the related state legislation had passed through three committees, and that a proper conversation presenting both sides had not occurred.
Commissioner Higgins seconded the motion to defer.
Discussion ensued among the Board members regarding the pending deferral motion which took precedence over the motion to adopt.
Commissioner Gonzalez argued against the deferral, citing the number of items routinely moved out of committee.
In response to Commissioner Bermudez's inquiry regarding pending state legislation, the County Attorney's Office confirmed the existence of the bill.
Senator Garcia stated that the existence of a bill had no bearing on the matter and that he would vote against the deferral to allow the discussion to proceed.
Commissioner Gilbert III supported the deferral, explaining that he had not been given sufficient information and wished the item had gone to committee, while making clear he was not opposed to the item itself.
Vice Chairman McGhee concurred with Senator Garcia and opposed the deferral.
Commissioner Bermudez questioned whether the deferral would be to the next meeting or indefinite.
Discussion ensued among various Board members regarding the proposed deferral date.
Upon being put to a vote, the motion to defer failed 3-7 (Commissioners Bermudez, Cabrera, Cohen Higgins, Gonzalez, Senator Garcia, Vice Chairman McGhee and Chairman Rodriguez voted �no�; Commissioners Bastien, Hardemon and Steinberg were absent).
Chairman Rodriguez expressed concern about directing the savings into a new program given the County's financial outlook, and offered a friendly amendment to retain the savings in the General Fund for a six-month transitional period.
Commissioner Gonzalez accepted the proffered amendment, noting that he was not committed to funding a particular service and cited a figure of approximately $800,000 in savings.
Commissioner Regalado explained that the County
held contracts to purchase fluoride, owned fluoride already acquired, and maintained dedicated infrastructure and staff, such that the stated cost reflected only the purchase of fluoride. She further advised that the Water and Sewer Department's restricted bond funds could be used only for existing customers and not for a general public-education campaign, which would have to be financed from the General Fund.
On that basis, Chairman Rodriguez proposed removing the educational campaign, and recommended instead a notice placed on the next water bills.
Commissioner Gilbert III suggested that, rather than a full campaign, the Mayor could direct public service announcements through County media at minimal expense, and raised the question of how the change would affect other water providers and wholesale recipients.
Mr. Coley advised that the County served approximately fourteen wholesale customers who would no longer receive fluoride. He explained that other producers, including North Miami Beach, Florida City, Homestead, and the Hialeah facility, operated their own plants and would not be affected. He further confirmed that the fourteen wholesale customers depended entirely on the County for water treatment, and that the County did not profit from serving them.
Commissioner Gonzalez advised that Mr. Coley had indicated the practice could be discontinued without difficulty. He stated that he did not believe a contractual obligation to provide fluoride existed, and he noted letters of support from West Miami and Miami Beach. The County Attorney's Office undertook to review the wholesale contracts.
Mr. Coley emphasized that the County's water was safe and met or exceeded all regulatory standards. He noted that departmental staff were experts in water treatment rather than in fluoride science, and that major health organizations continued to recommend fluoridation.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins described her own research and traced the history of fluoridation and its later inclusion in toothpaste. She read portions of Judge Chen's 2024 federal ruling into the record. Citing concern for young children and pregnant women, she announced her support for the item.
Commissioner Regalado responded that the court ruling fell to the EPA because regulating drinking-water safety is a federal responsibility, not the Board's. She argued that the County should wait for the EPA to act, as it had on other contaminants, and maintained that determining the safety of the water exceeded the Board's authority. She reviewed the federal statutory framework governing the County's water, including the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Clean Water Act, and observed that the EPA had not yet acted on fluoride, just as it had not yet acted on PFAS, the forever chemicals she argued posed a clearer public-health concern. She criticized the absence of meaningful public engagement on the matter, recommended that the County notify its customers and hold a properly noticed public hearing before acting, and cautioned that proceeding outside the Board's authority could expose the County to
litigation.
Commissioner Gilbert III urged his colleagues to approach the matter calmly, noting it was a question of policy rather than personal disagreement. He stated that safeguarding the County's water was part of the Board's responsibility, and that, while he would have preferred the item go through committee, no procedures had been violated and the matter was properly before the Board following the morning's advertised public hearing. He added that nothing presented to the Board indicated that removing fluoride would cause harm.
Commissioner Gonzalez clarified that he had not meant to offend any colleague and spoke to his personal interest in the matter as the parent of a young child.
Commissioner Bermudez referenced Judge Chen's decision and remarked that more time for discussion would have been preferable, comparing fluoride to other products consumed without similar scrutiny.
After Mr. Coley confirmed that removal would not affect the safety of the drinking water, Commissioner Bermudez announced his support, reasoning that it would have no significant negative impact.
Senator Garcia recognized the original purpose of fluoridation but expressed concern about its present oversaturation. He noted his support, erring on the side of caution.
Vice Chairman McGhee indicated his support, concluding that evolving evidence and the availability of alternatives warranted reconsidering the practice and that mandatory fluoridation removed the individual's ability to choose. He added that his own research had led him to broader concerns about government-approved products in residents' diets, and he invited his colleagues to take up related matters such as artificial dyes and additives in food.
Commissioner Regalado offered concluding remarks reiterating her opposition to the item. She cited communities such as Buffalo and Calgary that had removed fluoride and later restored it, and referenced the associated costs, litigation, and use of ballot referenda.
Commissioner Gonzalez moved to amend the foregoing resolution to require savings from fluoride removal to be reinvested in the County's General Fund for a six-month transitional period; to remove the educational campaign program; and direct the administration to advise WASD customers of the removal by including a message on or with water bills for two billing cycles, posting a message on the Department's website, and, if contractually required, providing notice to the County's wholesale customers.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceed to vote on the foregoing resolution, as amended.
(Note: Pursuant to Rule 8.01 of the County's Rules of Procedures, Mayor Levine Cava vetoed the foregoing resolution on April 11, 2025. At the May 6, 2025 Board of County Commissioners meeting, the Mayor's Veto was overriden - See Agenda Item 2A1; Legislative File No. 250789).

REPORT:
CA Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the foregoing proposed resolution into the record.
Chairman Rodriguez opened the public hearing; and seeing no one come forward to speak, closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Higgins, expressing support for housing on County land where practical, asked whether the existing easements and well-field protections on the property would be preserved, and sought assurance that the administration would safeguard them.
Commissioner Cabrera confirmed that the easements, utilities, and well fields would be protected, noting that the matter had been coordinated with WASD and the airport. He provided an overview of the item, explaining that it had been scaled back to approximately 20 residential units offered for sale, in response to zoning and tax concerns raised by the City of Miami Springs. He noted that the homes would be priced at roughly $450,000 for buyers at 120% of the area median income, providing permanent ownership housing on which owners would pay taxes in Miami Springs.
Commissioner Regalado expressed reservations about a land swap involving WASD property, observing that the well field on the parcel significantly limited what could be developed there and that the airport stood to receive an unfavorable deal. She also noted the difficulty of resolving such a complex, late-filed matter and raised concerns about the property's encumbrance and valuation. She proposed a friendly amendment directing the administration to identify an alternative property within 30 days, preferably near another airport.
Commissioner Cabrera explained that Airbus Service Company, Inc. held a lease on the property and had been asked to waive it, which it was entitled to do, but that Airbus had 45 days to respond and had declined similar requests in the past. He stated that the longer building timeframe had been included as a precaution, in the event Airbus elected to retain the property.
Commissioner Regalado suggested that, if Airbus agreed to release the property, the timeframe to build should be shortened to five years, so that the land would not sit undeveloped. Commissioner Cabrera agreed to craft an amendment to that effect.
Commissioner Cabrera amended the resolution to direct the administration to initiate the land swap of the property identified in the item or to identify another suitable property within 30 days; and to provide Airbus Service Company, Inc. five years to build on the parcel, with the administration to develop the property within ten years of its purchase from WASD should Airbus decline to use it.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceed to vote on the foregoing resolution, as amended.
