MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (MIA) - JD POWER 2025 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS(Mayor)
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Mr. Ralph Cutie introduced Mr. Michael Taylor, J.D. Power. He noted J.D. Power, a world-renown organization that performed customer service and satisfaction ratings globally for industries, would present their latest update for Miami International Airport (MIA). Mr. Cutie emphasized that MIA had recently gone from Number 10 to Number 4 in the last quarter of all the mega airports in the United States in customer satisfaction rating, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) identified MIA to be a well-managed and safe airport which passed the annual FAA operational audit. He pointed out that MIA had received awards from Global Travel Magazine as the best layover airport nationally. Mr. Cutie advised that Mr. Taylor would discuss some of the data that led to MIA�s ranking including being the most improved airport in the United States in the last quarter by 28 points, and deviating from the trend based on the amount of modernization and construction occurring at MIA.
Mayor Levine Cava commended Chief Operations Officer Jimmy Morales, Mr. Cutie and MDAD staff for their efforts and noted the results could be seen. She commented on MIA being fourth in North America among all mega airports and noted the administration was aggressively addressing challenges with the Board�s support.
Chairman Rodriguez thanked Mayor Levine Cava and Mr. Cutie for his leadership.
Mr. Michael Taylor presented a PowerPoint presentation on MIA�s interim Customer Satisfaction Year-to-Date results which would be released in September 2025. He stated that construction and passenger volume impacted satisfaction at MIA and commended MDAD for deviating from the norm. Mr. Taylor added that MIA ranked Number 5 out of 20 as it related to level of trust; however, terminal facility remained flat. He pointed out that one of the key factors that transformed a good airport into a great airport was a sense of locality, and over the last 20 years high-performing airports in the J.D. Power Satisfaction Study reflected a sense of community usually through food, beverage and retail, in which MIA was proficient. Mr. Taylor noted that facilitating timely arrivals to the Airport was preventing MIA from being in the top spot, and improving MIA�s access scores would allow the Airport to take advantage of its food, beverage and retail program which usually boost the airport and the rankings. He said of all 20 airports in the mega category, MIA was ranked third in the perception of reliability; 2 out of 20 as an exciting airport which added to satisfaction and non-aeronautical revenues; and had an above-average reputation.
In conclusion, Mr. Taylor stated MIA had a consistent quarterly level of improvement; modernizing passenger volumes had a positive effect; people trusted MIA; and it had a great food and beverage retail program that reflected the sense of being in the City of Miami. He recommended improvements be made to access to the Airport, and emphasized the importance of providing a sense of time to restore MIA to the Number One spot.
Chairman Rodriguez thanked Mr. Cutie for his leadership and ensuring that the recommendations were accomplished; Mayor Levine Cava and Mr. Taylor for the presentation.
Commissioner Hardemon referred to contract extensions that were adopted by the Board at one of its previous meetings. He indicated that he wanted to discuss this issue and gave as an example, individuals who had extended their contracts and then the Board added other individuals for consideration.
Commissioner Hardemon noted that some of the individuals who were in the contracts that were extended, were part of the group that were competing for new spots.
Chairman Rodriguez stated that a discussion item was submitted to his office; however, he suggested that a commissioner on the prevailing side could reconsider the item.
In response to Commissioner Hardemon�s inquiry whether he needed to make a motion to reconsider the item before any other business was discussed, ACA David Murray advised that a motion for reconsideration would be required at today�s meeting.
Commissioner Bastien requested a Point of Privilege to wish everyone Happy Haitian Heritage Month. She noted that May was Haitian Heritage Month and Haitian history as well as the positive impact that Haitians and Haitian-Americans were making in Miami-Dade County and globally were being celebrated. Commissioner Bastien invited her colleagues to attend the month-long free Haitian festivities and thanked those who participated in the celebration lunch. Her staff provided gift baskets to each commissioner.
Chairman Rodriguez thanked Commissioner Bastien for the gift baskets.
Commissioner Gonzalez requested a Point of Order and Privilege to wish Dulce and Rosita, Commission staff members, Happy Birthday.
Chairman Rodriguez recognized Supervisor of Elections Alina Garcia and Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz who were present at today�s meeting.

REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE HEARD AS PROVIDED IN RULE 6.06
|
| |
| |
REPORT:
Chairman Rodriguez opened the reasonable opportunity to be heard and the following individuals appeared before the Board:
Mr. Alexander Magrisso, Assistant City Attorney, City of Hialeah, 501 Palm Avenue, Hialeah Florida, spoke in support of Agenda Item 11A2. He thanked Senator Garcia for sponsoring the item related to opportunity zones within the City of Hialeah and noted programs such as this had increased the City�s ability to develop and possess economic prosperity. Mr. Magrisso thanked the Board of County Commissioners for voting on this item on behalf of Mayor Garcia-Roves and the City of Hialeah Council.
Ms. Yonah Janowitz, 251 Valencia Avenue, Coral Gables, Florida, spoke in support of Agenda Item 11A11, and appointing Natalie Milian Orbis as County Commissioner for District 6. She said Ms. Milian Orbis, Commissioner and Vice Mayor for the City of West Miami, had empowered women in the City to network with each other; initiated an autism decal program with the police and the City; resolved difficult school issues; and had been responsive to residents on both sides of the issue. Ms. Janowitz noted Ms. Milian Orbis would be an asset and would serve as a Commissioner with distinction, and while she took her right to vote seriously, she asked the Board to support Agenda Item 11A11 and appoint Ms. Milian Orbis as the next County Commissioner for District 6.
Ms. Tatiana Silva, 475 Harbor Drive, Key Biscayne, spoke in support of Agenda Item 3B3, Project Caiman, on behalf of the Miami-Dade Beacon Council. She said the project was an $80 million investment in the construction of a new state-of-the art fish feed production facility in South Dade, and would create 50 new jobs at an average annual wage of $70,000.00, significantly above the State�s and South Dade�s average. Ms. Silva noted this initiative embodied the Beacon Council�s commitment to fostering inclusive economic growth. She advised the County stood to gain more than $1.2 million in net incremental general fund revenues with a net benefit ratio of one point seventy-five to one.
Mr. Scott Pollowitz, 21190 Mainsail Circle, Aventura Florida, spoke in opposition of Agenda Item 4A, which included a provision to remove the public�s ability to provide input on short-form permit applications. He expressed concern, on behalf of Friends of Biscayne Bay (FBB), regarding the portion of Item 4A which allowed a seawall to protrude two and a half feet into the Bay and potential impact to the shoreline. Mr. Pollowitz indicated that FBB would support Item 4A if these provisions were workshopped and improved or removed.
Mr. Philip Stoddard, 6820 SW 64th Court, spoke in opposition of Agenda Item 4A. He concurred with Mr. Pollowitz�s comments and emphasized the importance of public hearing.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Chairman Rodriguez closed the reasonable opportunity to be heard.

Veto Overridden
Mover: Roberto J. Gonzalez
Seconder: Kionne L. McGhee
Vote: 8 - 4
No: Bastien , Steinberg , Higgins , Regalado
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Rodriguez introduced the foregoing item and asked his colleagues to limit comments to the veto discussion. He noted the details regarding fluoridation was not being discussed.
Commissioner Gonzalez moved to override the Mayor�s veto.
This motion was seconded by Vice Chairman McGhee.
Commissioner Gonzalez said the foregoing motion was not related to fluoride and the Board had made a decision regarding fluoride. He noted this vote concerned leadership, noting the Board voted by a wide, bi-partisan margin to become the first major county in the United States of America to remove a neurotoxin from its water. Commissioner Gonzalez expressed disagreement that the decision to impact and represent Miami-Dade County�s residents and their health should not be made by the Board, and should be left to the State or the national government. He pointed out that local government was the most important aspect of government connected to the people, and every decision the Board made quickly impacted the people. Commissioner Gonzalez said the Board made a decision for the people and people were sick because their government had been poisoning them through antiquated and distorted guidelines from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention for years.
Chairman Rodriguez reiterated the Board was voting and speaking on a veto and asked Commissioner Gonzalez to remain on the veto issue.
Commissioner Gonzalez said the vote was not about how the Board felt about fluoride but their connection to the people and their leadership.
Commissioner Gonzalez moved that Resolution R-370-25 be adopted and become effective notwithstanding the veto of the mayor. This motion was seconded by Vice Chairman McGhee.
Mayor Levine Cava commented on the passage of Senate Bill 700 by the Florida Legislature which prohibited the addition of fluoride to public water systems statewide. She noted the Bill was expected to be signed into law shortly, and expressed her disappointment by this decision. Mayor Levine Cava said it disregarded the overwhelming consensus of doctors, dentists, and organizations of medical experts, and she did not substitute her judgement for theirs. She explained that when the resolution was introduced by the Board, she met with dentists, doctors and parents to learn more and they informed her that fluoride was a proven, safe and effective way to protect oral health for children and families, particularly for families with limited access to dental care.
Chairman Rodriguez asked Mayor Levine Cava to remain on the veto issue.
Mayor Levine Cava clarified there had been no studies indicating that fluoridation at the current levels were unsafe and the doctors she spoke with stated that it would have long-lasting health consequences especially for the most vulnerable individuals. She noted cities that had removed the fluoride had to restore it and 15 local cities, mayors and other elected officials took action to express their concern. Mayor Levine Cava said she was disappointed by the State�s preemption as this was an important local decision; however, despite concerns and opinions, the Board must comply with all State laws. She noted that she would continue to navigate for public health on behalf of the community and expressed her hope that the Board would support the veto.
Commissioner Gilbert III said the decision was not done in a bi-partisan manner but based on the evidence presented to the Board. He noted that he appreciated the Mayor�s veto, her Veto Message and her opinion. Commissioner Gilbert III pointed out that he cast a vote based on the evidence before him and he had not seen anything to change his mind since. He remarked that he appreciated the telephone calls from dentists, including his own dentist, and appreciated that no one was trying to poison the people; however, the public trusted contractors when they used asbestos in buildings and plumbers when they used lead pipes. Commissioner Gilbert III opined that fluoride was helpful for good dental health but could be harmful for people and it was the Board�s job to balance the equities of the most vulnerable. He opined the Board should stand by its vote.
Commissioner Regalado clarified that this item had been expedited to get ahead of the State bill. She said it was not the Board�s role to decide the chemical makeup of water as the County did not have the expertise and followed federal guidelines. Commissioner Regalado noted that when this item was presented, she said the State would preempt the County, that it had been underway for some time, and it was their right to do so. She added that this was a State decision or a federal recommendation. Commissioner Regalado mentioned that ten years ago, the federal government changed the recommended amount of fluoride to be added to water and the County followed that recommendation. She expressed concern regarding the slippery slope the Board was taking with today�s vote, noting the Board was unequipped to address this issue. Commissioner Regalado said the Board must follow state law and questioned what would happen next procedurally. She opined this was unnecessary and noted she was concerned regarding what was considered evidence and how it was presented. Commissioner Regalado expressed her hope that future decisions of this caliber would be done with input from both sides of the issue and a comprehensive review.
In response to Commissioner Regalado�s inquiry regarding the Board�s options regarding the process, CA Geri Bonzon-Keenan stated that when an item was vetoed the Board had three options pursuant to the Board�s Rules of Procedure. She advised the Board could (1) move to override the veto and a motion and a second was on the floor to do so; (2) the item could be reconsidered before the motion to override was considered and if reconsidered, the veto would be nullified and any option that would have been available when the item originally came to the Board would be available at that time; and (3) to do nothing. CA Geri Bonzon-Keenan said the veto would be sustained if a motion was not made.
Commissioner Regalado said she mentioned the reconsideration due to several issues. She noted the bill that preempted the County at 1:30 p.m. today, had an effective date of July 1st, and the item before the Board did not consider the logistics of this change. Commissioner Regalado commented that she was interested in the day-to-day operations of the Water and Sewer Department, and to the misrepresentations that had been made to Miami-Dade County residents that the County�s water was unsafe. She said she went before the City of South Miami, the Village of Pinecrest, the Village of Key Biscayne, the Village of Palmetto Bay and the City of Homestead and they asked the Board to keep fluoride and to uphold the veto. Commissioner Regalado pointed out that a conflict existed between the State and the County bill and recommended the Board reconsider the item, as the County would be opening itself to litigation if it continued with this item. Commissioner Regalado opined the State should be responsible for the litigation and the Board had no reason to be involved in this issue.
Commissioner Regalado stated that she was unable to move for reconsideration because she had not been on the prevailing side, and that the motion had to be made by a commissioner who had been on the prevailing side. She opined that from a procedural perspective, the right thing to do was to reconsider the item and either defer it or amend it so that it complied with the law that was passed by the Legislature. Commissioner Regalado said if this was not done, the Board would remain with a conflict on the books and would remain with an issue that would be difficult to effectuate.
Vice Chairman McGhee referred to a letter from Ambassador Andrew Young to the Governor of Georgia in which he stated that fluoridation was a civil rights issue and the people had a right to have the full story given to them. Vice Chairman McGhee said his remarks regarding fluoridation were based directly from Ambassador Young�s letter.
There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote to override the Mayor�s veto.
In response to Commissioner Regalado�s inquiry regarding how the conflict between the State and the County legislation would be addressed, Chairman Rodriguez said this issue could be discussed with the administration; however, the conflict was not currently being considered.
Later in the meeting, Chairman Rodriguez announced that a brief recess would be taken to verify the veto override vote on the foregoing resolution.
Chairman Rodriguez resumed the meeting and requested a roll call vote on the veto override due to a discrepancy.
Commissioner Gilbert III requested a Point of Order and acknowledged that it was Chairman Rodriguez�s discretion to take this vote at any time. He advised the Board�s Rules of Procedure required the Clerk to place this item as the first substantive item on the agenda and did not specify a time when the Board had to vote for it, noting this was based on the County Attorney�s practices; not the Code requirement.
Chairman Rodriguez stated that the County Attorney had advised him that this was the order in which to proceed and it was his discretion to take the vote at any time.
Commissioner Hardemon moved for a 15-minute recess and this motion was seconded by Vice Chairman McGhee.
Chairman Rodriguez stated he was unsupportive of a recess.
Vice Chairman McGhee said he read the rules similar to Commissioner Gilbert III with the understanding that the item must be the first substantive item on the agenda; however, the rules did not state when the vote must be taken.
CA Bonzon-Keenan read the Board�s Rules of Procedure related to Mayoral Veto and Commission Override as follows: �the clerk shall place items vetoed by the mayor, together with the completed veto forms, on the next regularly scheduled commission agenda as the first substantive items for commission consideration.� CA Bonzon-Keenan advised this had been the Board�s custom and practice for years; however, the Board was free to change this custom and practice if it wished to do so.
Commissioner Gilbert III said it had always been within the Chair�s discretion on how and when the Board heard items that were on the agenda, and nothing usurped the Chair�s authority in that instance.
Pursuant to Chairman Rodriguez�s request, a roll call vote was taken on the foregoing item, and the Mayor�s veto was overridden.

REPORT:
CA Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.
Chairman Rodriguez opened the public hearing on all the items and seeing no one appear wishing to speak on the foregoing ordinance, closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Gilbert III requested clarification as to how the proposed legislation would affect County employees. He observed that whistleblower protections generally applied to employees who reported conduct they believed to be unlawful, and that the ordinance would extend those protections to the County's ethics code, which he characterized as very broad. He cautioned that employees who believed they were about to be terminated frequently alleged wrongdoing by their supervisors, and that extending whistleblower protections in those circumstances could produce the unintended consequence of serious employment issues for the County. He asked that someone explain how the change would operate in practice.
Commissioner Steinberg noted that Mr. Ignacio Vazquez, Jr., Executive Director of the Miami-Dade Commission on Ethics and Public Trust (COE), was present and could explain the reason for the proposed change to the Miami-Dade County Code.
Mr. Vazquez spoke in support of the foregoing ordinance as an augmentation of the existing structure under the law. He explained that a recent change in Florida law required all ethics complaints to be sworn by an individual, under that person's name and based on personal knowledge, which meant County employees who came forward with information had to identify themselves. He stated that without the proposed protections, that requirement would chill the process of bringing worthy matters to the Commission's attention. Mr. Vazquez acknowledged Commissioner Gilbert�s III concern regarding employees who were about to leave or be terminated, and noted that there were burdens on those who filed frivolous complaints and that individuals proven to have filed a frivolous complaint could have consequences imposed upon them. He explained that the ordinance structurally provided, within the Commission's process, that a person who filed a legitimate complaint and proceeded would have some degree of protection, and that the measure augmented the existing structure and placed the Commission on the most viable path within its legal framework.
Commissioner Gilbert III expressed conceptual support for the item but asked how it would work in practice, particularly what protections would apply when a complaint was determined to be frivolous, noting his concern that the change could otherwise create a gray area.
Mr. Vazquez explained that, consistent with Florida law, complainants filed their complaints subject to a safe harbor under which they were placed on notice that a frivolous complaint could expose them to a claim for attorney's fees by the respondent, a practice that was actively occurring. He noted that a person who persisted in and did not withdraw a frivolous complaint faced a potential consequence, which he described as the balance the framework sought to strike.
There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance, as presented.
Following consideration of the foregoing ordinance, Chairman Rodriguez officially welcomed Commissioner Natalie Milian Orbis to the dais as the newly appointed Commissioner for District 6, and she took her seat for the first time.

REPORT:
CA Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed resolution into the record.
Chairman Rodriguez opened the public hearing, and the following individuals appeared before the Board:
Mr. Sean Rowley, Legal Services of Greater Miami, 4343 West Flagler Street, Miami, Florida, noted that the organization had submitted written comments attached to the County's resolution. He urged that the rules at Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) properties remain as close as possible to the current public housing rules, raised concerns about increased late fees at those properties, recommended required training on RAD and Project-Based Voucher rules for privately managed staff, and asked that the public housing requirement obligating landlords to offer payment plans before eviction also apply at RAD properties.
Chaplain Stanley Young, 500 NW 2nd Avenue, spoke in support of housing. He described his work assisting the homeless, the mentally ill, and individuals in need of housing, called for the mental health hospital at 7th Avenue and 23rd Street to be opened, and urged the Board to consider those without a voice, including the homeless, the mentally ill, and those struggling with substance abuse.
Seeing no one else come forward wishing to speak on the foregoing item, Chairman Rodriguez closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Higgins explained that the Miami-Dade Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) had asked her to bifurcate the item for a brief amendment making the interim reexamination more flexible when a family's income changed, after which it could be considered with the remaining items.
ACA Terrence Smith advised pages MDC 603 and 604, Sections 15.2(A) and (C) of Attachment E of the Section 8 Administrative Plan, and on page MDC 842, Sections A(1) and (3) of Chapter VII of Appendix VI of the Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy, titled "Interim Reexamination" and "Interim Rent Decreases," respectively, the foregoing proposed resolution would be amended as follows: Under the subheading "Interim Reexamination," the phrase "by ten (10) percent or more" was stricken from the first and second sentences; under "Interim Rent Decreases," the text was revised to provide that HCD must conduct a full interim reexamination if the family's income had decreased; and the final sentence, requiring HCD to conduct a full interim reexamination for all decreases in adjusted income upon the permanent removal of a family member from the assisted unit, was stricken in its entirety.
Commissioner Higgins released her bifurcation on the condition that the item be adopted as amended.
Hearing no other questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as amended.

REPORT:
CA Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed resolution into the record.
Chairman Rodriguez opened the public hearing, and the following individual appeared before the Board in opposition to the item:
� Mr. Carlos Gutierrez, retired United States Army veteran (Specialist Fourth Class, 3rd Infantry), 20675 SW 162nd Avenue, Miami, Florida
Commissioner Bermudez inquired about the monthly or yearly rent charged to Family Action Network Movement, Inc. ("FANM"), and the period during which the organization had been unable to pay.
Mr. Alejandro Martinez-Esteve said FANM's monthly rent was $4,000.00, an amount the County had assumed when it acquired the facility and the existing lease. He explained that FANM had been non-compliant almost from the inception of the Board's 2017 approval of the property purchase, that the administration had begun working with the organization on payment plans, with discussions commencing in 2022 and a non-compliance letter issued in 2023, and that FANM had since made payments under a recent plan that it had accepted.
Commissioner Bermudez said it was his understanding that a $975,000.00 bond allocation was contemplated, and he inquired whether FANM would be able to properly maintain and operate the building over time, including insurance and utilities, with that allocation, or whether it was Mr. Martinez-Esteve's professional opinion that FANM might return with the same problems it had experienced almost since the inception of the property approval.
Mr. Martinez-Esteve stated the property included deed restrictions and a reverter clause that PIOD would monitor through a quarterly report to the Board, and that the reverter would be tracked in perpetuity.
ACA Monica Rizo confirmed there was no termination date to the reverter clause, and clarified that the bond funds allocation was $1,369,312.00.
In response to Commissioner Bermudez's inquiry whether the Community Action and Human Services Department (CAHSD) required the property, Mr. Martinez-Esteve said CAHSD had never occupied the facility and had advised that it had no use for it, although it coordinated directly with the not-for-profit agency.
Commissioner Bermudez cautioned that the Board must remain consistent in its process as it related to non-profit organizations. He said an organization unable to pay could provide an explanation, but it was disconcerting that the terms FANM agreed to in 2017 had gone unfulfilled and that this had continued to occur. He questioned who was monitoring the matter, noting that the dollars at issue came from the rest of the community, and opined that as the Board pursued efficiency reforms there should be no exclusion for entities, whether or not they were non-profits and regardless of whether they provided a positive service. Commissioner Bermudez said he would support the foregoing resolution but that, going forward, he would specifically seek to ensure the established rules were followed and, if they were not, that the administration inform the Board why.
Mr. Martinez-Esteve assured the Board that, going forward, non-compliance issues related to conveyances or active leases involving not-for-profit organizations or others would be reported to the Board, together with the administration's efforts to bring those parties into compliance.
Commissioner Gilbert III moved that the foregoing resolution be adopted. This motion was seconded by Vice Chairman McGhee.
Commissioner Regalado expressed concern that the County was not in a financial position to be giving away County assets, and suggested that, going forward, the Board establish a set policy providing that office space for non-profit organizations be located within housing buildings. She said the Board's focus should be on providing housing, recommended that the Board task the administration with identifying County buildings that could be used for housing, and asked what the impact to the County would be, in terms of using the site for another purpose, if FANM invested in repairing the building.
Commissioner Hardemon observed that Miami-Dade County had not been an effective steward of its own properties and acknowledged shortcomings in the County's record as a property owner. He commented on the availability of land for housing in Commission District 3 and noted that, while he supported housing across the income spectrum, from extremely low income to market rate, housing could not be developed in every location. Commissioner Hardemon explained that his understanding was that FANM had not paid rent because of a disagreement as to whether payment was required, that the original intent had been for CAHSD to occupy some of the space while the facility was used primarily by FANM, and that legislation had been drafted to allow FANM to occupy the space at no cost. He noted that FANM had nonetheless accrued a balance, had repaid approximately $215,000.00 to reduce the amount owed to the present $140,000.00, and that he regarded this as a good-faith effort by an organization dependent on grant funding. Commissioner Hardemon added that, upon taking office as District 3 Commissioner, he had inherited a number of properties that were improperly maintained or non-compliant and entities that were not meeting their contractual obligations, and that the resolution represented the best available means of resolving the matter.
Commissioner Hardemon explained that the space had never been shared with another organization and was located in the northeastern part of District 3, an area lacking County services, buildings, and presence. He observed that most entities receiving County assistance were located in the urban core, and that while FANM was outside the District's urban core, it served residents where they lived and travelled. He emphasized the importance of FANM's providing space for residents who needed assistance, acknowledged that the County needed to build housing and that he had land available to do so, but requested that housing not be developed at this site. Commissioner Hardemon urged the Board to approve the resolution so that the services could continue in District 3, noting that FANM served children through adults and that the time had come to provide the organization with a permanent home to fulfill its mission in perpetuity.
Commissioner Regalado inquired whether the reverter clause conveying the property to FANM addressed redevelopment of the site if the organization discontinued its work, and whether Commissioner Hardemon would be amenable to requiring FANM to repay the bond if it redeveloped the site.
Commissioner Hardemon indicated that he was amenable to Commissioner Regalado's recommendation and suggested that she propose an amendment to accomplish it.
Commissioner Regalado proposed an amendment providing that FANM could redevelop the subject site as long as it continued providing the services in the current building and provided housing, including a component of affordable housing as defined by the Miami-Dade County Code.
Commissioner Hardemon accepted the proposed friendly amendment.
In response to Commissioner Cohen Higgins's inquiry whether FANM currently occupied the building, why the conveyance was necessary, and how it would inhibit FANM's ability to serve the community, Commissioner Hardemon explained that it was important for FANM to occupy the space rather than rent it given the rising real estate costs in the area, which was heavily populated by the Haitian community, and that comparable Haitian-serving assets had been acquired by private entities and were no longer accessible to the community. He said FANM needed a permanent space to render its services and that he was unaware of any other space in Miami-Dade County able to serve that population.
Commissioner Hardemon stated that he wished to ensure continuity of service, but that if FANM ceased providing the service or violated the agreement, the property would revert to Miami-Dade County. He urged the Board to support the resolution.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins said she remained unsure why the resolution did not instead provide a rent waiver and a new lease agreement for 10 or 20 years. She pointed out that the resolution not only waived $140,000.00 in back rent but conveyed a property on a 10,000-square-foot lot owned by Miami-Dade County and provided approximately $1.4 million to FANM for repairs, improvements, and upgrades. She expressed concern regarding the County's financial constraints and the message conveyed to non-profit organizations that paid their rent, and requested clarification on the justification for the item.
Commissioner Hardemon explained that funds had been approved to be invested in the property but the County had not made the investment, and that the County should not evade its responsibility to continue investing in the space as promised. He noted that FANM currently operated out of the subject site and maintained another site in Miami Gardens for which it paid approximately $14,000.00 monthly, and explained that the $140,000.00 balance reflected the organization's payment of $4,000.00 monthly toward the amount in arrears. He indicated that if Commissioner Cohen Higgins wished FANM to continue paying down the $140,000.00 debt, he was willing to consider that change.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins indicated her support for the item if Commissioner Hardemon was amenable to amending the resolution to require FANM to become current with its debt to the County, noting that County vendors were required to pay their bills when due.
Vice Chairman McGhee expressed support for the resolution and said he would follow Commissioner Hardemon's lead, as FANM was located in Commissioner Hardemon's District. He emphasized the message at stake was whether the Board had forgotten the Haitian community, observed that FANM sat in the heart of that community and served as a resource base, and noted that without not-for-profit organizations, government would be unable to provide for many residents.
Vice Chairman McGhee said the resolution corrected past deferrals of projects within these communities and assisted a social service program that had given much but received little, and that the Board was sending the right message that results should be rewarded. He added that he could not speak to past debt issues but could attest that FANM had the results to support its position, that the conveyance gave the organization a greater investment in the building and would benefit surrounding property values, and that districts were not similarly situated and could not fairly be compared as to resources.
Commissioner Gilbert III spoke in support of the resolution. He said he did not disagree with Commissioner Cohen Higgins's comments but considered the matter in its broader context, noting that the issue had come before the Board during his tenure as Chairman. He described the resolution as an excellent solution that allowed a good organization doing good work to continue, and noted that the Board funded many organizations, none of which were similarly situated.
Commissioner Higgins spoke in support of the resolution as presented. She noted that FANM had proven itself an advocate for Haitian-Americans for decades and performed crucial, necessary work, that the Board supported many other not-for-profit organizations doing similar work in similar neighborhoods, and that, as Commissioner Gilbert III had noted, each organization was different and FANM was particularly so. She explained that a swap of Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond (GOB) funds would allow the funds to be used to upgrade the facility, that the building would require major construction if it remained with the County, and that using County GOB funds would entail a lengthy procurement process, whereas Commissioner Hardemon would see the building repaired for less money and in less time.
Commissioner Regalado agreed that not all districts were the same and noted that, if the County had chosen not to exercise its legal right when rent went unpaid, that was a decision made by the administration and she wished to understand the basis for it. She said it was her understanding that FANM had been told its rent would be offset due to a lack of repairs, and inquired whether the decision was based on the organization's right to withhold rent if owed repairs and the conditions did not conform to the lease. She said the Board should exercise caution with County assets, which was the rationale for her redevelopment amendment.
In response to Commissioner Regalado's inquiry regarding the County's statutory position on the conveyance, ACA Monica Rizo advised that the property was being conveyed under Section 125.38, Florida Statutes, which allowed the County to lease or convey property to a governmental entity or a not-for-profit for community interest and welfare, for a nominal amount and below fair market value, as the resolution provided. She said the required community-interest-and-welfare restriction was included in the County Deed, that the permitted uses were broad and encompassed the provision of social services including housing assistance, immigration support, health care access, legal aid, and educational programs to low-to-moderate-income families, consistent with the services FANM provided, that FANM could not transfer the Deed to another entity without the County's consent, and that there was no prohibition on FANM's performing construction or redevelopment consistent with the allowed uses, although any expansion would require FANM to return to the Board to amend the Deed and restrictions.
Commissioner Regalado recommended, and Commissioner Hardemon agreed, that any housing redevelopment by FANM return to the Board.
Commissioner Hardemon noted that the other friendly amendment had been proposed by Commissioner Cohen Higgins and requested her support. He described a minimum $100,000.00 scholarship endowment he had established in Commission District 3 to provide educational scholarship opportunities in perpetuity, and proposed that, instead of waiving FANM's outstanding $140,000.00 rent balance, FANM continue making those payments to the Miami Foundation to create an endowment scholarship fund for students participating in FANM's programs who wished to pursue further education.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins said she was amenable to the funds going to the Miami Foundation, and requested clarification on whether FANM had withheld rent because the building was uninhabitable and, if so, why that was not stated in the item.
Mr. Martinez-Esteve said the building had never been declared uninhabitable and that FANM continued to provide services through the facility.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins expressed support for Commissioner Hardemon's counter-proposal to her amendment, noting that it accomplished the objective and conveyed the right message to residents and the community.
Chairman Rodriguez questioned how the Board could ensure the repairs would be completed and whether a timeline was stipulated.
ACA Rizo said the funds allocated for capital improvements were from the Building Better Communities GOB Program, which required that they be disbursed on a reimbursement basis.
Chairman Rodriguez expressed his support for the resolution.
Commissioner Regalado inquired whether the lease agreement provided that the County would make repairs and whether, in part, FANM's obligation to pay rent was based on those repairs.
Mayor Levine Cava said repairs had been made throughout the period and that Ms. Sonya Grice, Director, Community Action and Human Services, could speak to the repairs that were made.
In response to Commissioner Regalado's inquiry whether a decision had been made to allow FANM not to pay rent because of the dispute over repairs, Mayor Levine Cava said it was the administration's understanding that the organization had been seeking to change the terms, as FANM had initially understood at the time of the GOB that it would have ownership and had been working toward that for several years.
In response to ACA Rizo's request for clarification on the amendment proposed by Commissioner Cohen Higgins and seconded by Commissioner Hardemon, specifically whether the payment of rent to the Miami Foundation would constitute a tri-party agreement among the County, FANM, and the Miami Foundation, Commissioner Hardemon said FANM would need a separate agreement with the Miami Foundation that did not require the Board's approval, and that the Board was forgiving FANM's debt to the County and requiring that those funds instead be paid to the Miami Foundation to establish the endowment scholarship fund.
Addressing ACA Rizo's inquiry whether the requirement was a condition precedent to the conveyance or a continuing obligation to be included in the Deed, Commissioner Hardemon said it would be a continuing obligation, which he hoped FANM could fulfill in the short term rather than the long term.
There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as amended to provide that FANM may redevelop the subject site provided that it continues providing the services in the current building and provides housing, including a component of affordable housing as defined by the Miami-Dade County Code, with any such housing redevelopment required to return to the Board; and to forgive FANM's $140,000.00 rent obligation to Miami-Dade County on the condition that FANM continue making those payments to the Miami Foundation to establish an endowment scholarship fund for students participating in FANM's programs who wished to pursue further education.

REPORT:
Commissioner Bermudez spoke in support of the foregoing proposed resolution. He asked that two changes be considered as friendly amendments: that the appointment process allow for consideration of candidates proffered by individual commissioners, and that the Task Force's scope not be limited to waste-to-energy contracts but extend to any solid waste contract handled through procurement.
Chairman Rodriguez agreed with both requests, invited each commissioner to submit any preferred appointees, and explained that the objective was a balanced membership spanning the various sectors, including architecture, engineering, and construction.
Commissioner Regalado spoke in support of the foregoing resolution and recommended that, going forward, any item adopted by the Board that fell within the Task Force's purview be referred to the Task Force so that its work remained current with the Board's actions.
Chairman Rodriguez advised that recommendation reflected the item's intent, which was to consolidate the various procurement reforms into a single effort, and noted that the Task Force would operate under the Sunshine Law, with every commissioner able to attend in person or by Zoom.
Commissioner Bermudez sought confirmation that the scope would be expanded from waste-to-energy contracts to all solid waste contracts, and Chairman Rodriguez indicated that he was amenable to the amendment.
Commissioner Steinberg inquired whether this would be open ended or a time frame.
In response to Commissioner Steinberg's question whether the Task Force would be open-ended or operate under a timeframe, Chairman Rodriguez said it was not intended to be open-ended and that he anticipated its work concluding within the next 12 to 14 months, adding that he had left specific dates out of the item to preserve flexibility.
Commissioner Higgins voiced her support and echoed Commissioner Regalado's point that straightforward fixes should be allowed to advance without waiting the full period.
Chairman Rodriguez reiterated that the objective was to streamline rather than slow the process, and said he would review each item before placing it on the agenda to determine whether it needed to be incorporated into the larger reform, while allowing simple fixes to proceed.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as amended to provide for consideration of candidates proffered by individual commissioners, and to expand the scope from waste-to-energy contracts to any solid waste contract handled through procurement.

REPORT:
Commissioner Higgins noted that her comments applied to both Item 11A5 and its companion procurement item, Item 11A10, although she had pulled only 11A5. She thanked Commissioner Regalado for sponsoring both items and described instances in which the Board awarded a procurement only to spend months afterward negotiating and drafting the resulting contract, contrasting that with the practice of bringing the contract to the next meeting agenda once the procurement was awarded. Commissioner Higgins noted that she had asked to co-sponsor both items and would second Commissioner Regalado's motions.
Commissioner Regalado noted that the item provided clarity both to vendors submitting a Request for Proposals (RFP), who would know in advance of any deal-breaking term, and to the administration, which had in some instances added terms after the RFP process had closed. She explained that the amendments stemmed from her review of numerous procurements that had stalled and from her subsequent discussions with staff, and asked that the County Attorney's Office read them into the record.
Assistant County Attorney Eduardo Gonzalez advised the foregoing proposed resolution would be amended to:
(1) Expand the applicability of the resolution to include that, in addition to Requests for Proposals for goods and services, the resolution's requirements also apply to qualitative solicitations for professional services and design-build contracts subject to Section 287.055 of the Florida Statutes;
(2) Specify that the requirements of the resolution apply only to RFPs or qualitative solicitations where the contract awards are subject to Board approval or ratification;
(3) Clarify that complete draft contracts shall be attached to the RFPs or solicitations, subject to the requirements of the solicitation; and
(4) Amend Section 4 to specify that the County Mayor or County Mayor's designee shall post a draft contract and draft RFP or solicitation for comments from outside industry and vendors during the procurement and re-procurement planning process; therefore, Section 2 of the resolution and pages MDC005 and MDC006 of the resolution shall be amended to read:
"Section 2 � This Board directs the County Mayor or County Mayor's designee to include a complete draft contract and RFP or any qualitative solicitation for the acquisition of goods and services, professional services subject to Section 287.055 of the Florida Statutes or design build services subject to Section 287.055 of the Florida Statutes which allows for little or no negotiation or modifications to contractual terms if the contract is subject to Board approval or ratification. To the extent that the RFP or qualitative solicitation shall allow certain contract terms to be negotiated, the RFP solicitation shall: (1) identify which contractual terms may be negotiated; (2) define the scope of what can be and cannot be negotiated for the identified negotiable contract terms; (3) include proposed County terms for the negotiable terms; (4) require that the vendor in its response to the RFP or solicitation disclose the issues it has with the negotiable terms; and (5) disclose and describe to the Board in the award recommendation which contract terms were modified and negotiated and how. Notwithstanding, no terms that materially alter the original RFP or the vendor's original proposal shall be negotiated or incorporated into the final contract."; and
Section 4 of the resolution on page MDC006 shall be amended to read:
"This Board directs the County Mayor or County Mayor's designee to post a draft contract along with a draft RFP or qualitative solicitation for comments from outside industry and vendors during the procurement and re-procurement planning process for contract award subject to Board approval or ratification. This Board further directs the County Mayor or County Mayor's designee in their sole discretion to incorporate comments and feedback from outside industry and vendors in the final contract and RFP or solicitation prior to the advertisement of any competitive solicitation advertised after the effective date of this resolution." Title and recital clauses of the resolution will be amended to conform to the motion and amendments.
Commissioner Regalado advised that the changes reflected clarifications requested by staff and remained fully in line with the item, that no terms would be added to the RFP solicitations, and that the approach would allow the County to negotiate within a reasonable time rather than over many months.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as amended.

REPORT:
CA Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed resolution into the record.
Chairman Rodriguez recognized the work of former County Commissioner Kevin Marino Cabrera, now serving as the United States Ambassador to the Republic of Panama, and explained that Ambassador Cabrera's nomination and confirmation had created a vacancy in Commission District 6. He noted that he had opened a process inviting any interested and qualified individual to submit an application for the seat, and emphasized the need to fill the vacancy expeditiously, as the Board faced several major decisions affecting District 6 residents before the close of 2025, including the budget and the waste-to-energy discussion. Observing that District 6 voters would select a permanent representative in approximately twelve months, he stated that the Board had a duty in the interim to ensure the district was represented.
Chairman Rodriguez further explained that only two individuals had applied through the process and that one had since withdrawn, leaving Ms. Natalie Milian Orbis as the remaining applicant. He described her as the current Vice Mayor of West Miami, an experienced elected official, and a longtime Miami-Dade County employee who was duly qualified, and expressed his strong support for her appointment to fill the vacancy.
Commissioner Gilbert III moved that the Board appoint Ms. Natalie Milian Orbis to fill the vacancy in Commission District 6 created by Ambassador Cabrera's appointment. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Gonzalez.
Commissioner Higgins indicated that she would vote no, consistent with her longstanding practice of supporting an election to fill vacancies, and clarified that her vote reflected the process rather than the candidate, commending Ms. Milian Orbis for her work at Miami-Dade County.
Senator Garcia likewise indicated that he would vote no, to remain consistent with his prior votes on such matters.
Commissioner Steinberg echoed the sentiments of Commissioner Higgins and Senator Garcia and indicated she would also be voting no to maintain consistency despite her recognition of Ms. Milian Orbis� qualifications and professional history.
There being no further discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing resolution, as amended.
Chairman Rodriguez congratulated Commissioner Milian Orbis on her appointment as District 6 Commissioner and the residents of District 6 on having representation, and asked that she join her colleagues on the dais once she was sworn in.

REPORT:
Commissioner Regalado mentioned that she was the sponsor of the requested resolution to be waived. She asked the administration about the status of the conveyance, whether the developer had priced out the supersonic septic system that they would be required to purchase, and the plan for homeowners to maintain this system.
Commissioner Bastien explained the property was conveyed through the Infill Program to Propelling into Triumph (PIT) in May 2024. She noted this organization provided services to foster care youth that were transitioning into adulthood, and there was no access to sewer.
In response to Commissioner Regalado�s inquiry whether PIT knew the cost of the septic system, Commissioner Bastien said she did not have that information.
Commissioner Regalado noted concrete septic tanks were very expensive and had an enormous berm.
Commissioner Bastien said PIT wanted to adhere to the requirements but there were no connections.
Commissioner Regalado indicated her support provided the administration met all the requirements of a fiberglass septic system with the correct setbacks and were not waiving any of those requirements as they waived Resolution No. R-365-21.
There being no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to approve the motion which was later memorialized.

REPORT:
Commissioner Bermudez explained the Government Efficiency Transparency Committee (GETC) recently became aware that part of the program was being used only for part of the department, and the Director had indicated that this would be a great improvement in expediting the DERM process.
Commissioner Regalado stated that Ms. Lourdes Gomez, Department Director, RER, was working to digitize permits and she expressed her appreciation and support for the item.
Commissioner Regalado suggested a determination be made as to who would be performing the work for RER and to ensure that they remained in place until the work was completed. She further suggested that staff be given a deadline to digitize the permits.
Commissioner Bermudez concurred with Commissioner Regalado�s comments.
In response to Commissioner Gilbert III�s inquiry whether DERM was an enterprise fund, Dr. Edwards said DERM received revenues from some of the work that it performed; however, it was regulatory.
Commissioner Gilbert III inquired whether it was possible to incorporate more of DERM into RER prior to the motion being implemented. He expressed concern that the motion was giving a direction that the Board may have to raise taxes to accomplish the motion�s intent.
Commissioner Gilbert III indicated that he did not wish to support the motion and a request was then made for additional funds in the department. He suggested the administration consider merging DERM and RER so the fees would be directly connected to the people who were applying for the services. Commissioner Gilbert III commented on the need for a broader conversation regarding the required amount of funds, and noted the Board would have done something extraordinary without committee review.
Commissioner Bermudez acknowledged that Commissioner Gilbert III had raised some valid points and confirmed that while some of the funds were received by DERM, it was not only an enterprise fund. He noted approval of the current language would not prevent the Board from making the final decision. Commissioner Bermudez said this was one of the issues that came up in discussions and delayed the process when the same system was not being used. He remarked that if the Mayor advised the motion was not prudent due to the high cost, the Board would vote on the issue; however, it provided the Mayor with direction to begin considering this issue.
Commissioner Gilbert III expressed his support for the item.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to approve the foregoing motion that was later memorialized.

MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HIGGINS RE: MAGNUS BRICKELL PROJECT
|
Approved
Mover: Eileen Higgins
Seconder: Oliver G. Gilbert, III
Vote: 12 - 0
Absent: Gonzalez
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Higgins mentioned the County recently opened the Magnus Brickell mixed-income housing project and many low-income seniors were residing in the building. She noted several pieces of art work to be procured by Art in Public Places were delayed and the Related Urban Development Group (RUDG) substituted their own art. Commissioner Higgins said she wanted to relieve RUDG from any future obligations to re-scaffold the building.
Pursuant to a motion read into the record by Assistant County Attorney Sophia Guzzo, Commissioner Higgins moved to direct the County Mayor or County Mayor's designee to discontinue and forego any plans for any pending or planned Art in Public Places projects at the affordable housing project located at 201 SW 10th Street (the "Magnus Brickell Project"), approve a limited waiver of the provisions of section 2-1 l .15(2)(b) of the County Code in accordance with section 2-11.15(2)( c) of the County Code for the Magnus Brickell Project, and further waive the provisions of Administrative Order 3-11 and the Art in Public Places guidelines to relieve the Developer RUDG, LLC of any further payments into the Art in Public Places Trust Fund for the Magnus Brickell Project, other than the payment of $1,151,955.15 for the five artworks that have already been installed under the Art in Public Places program; and direct the County Mayor or County Mayor's designee to execute any necessary amendments with RUDG, LLC or its affiliates or subsidiaries to the development and lease and master development agreements for the Magnus Brickell Project, following approval by the County Attorney's office for form and legal sufficiency, to effectuate the policy set forth in this motion.
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to approve the foregoing motion.
NOTE: Following the meeting, the COB received notice from the CAO that the foregoing motion would be memorialized; and the item was assigned Resolution No. R-453-25.
Chairman Rodriguez recognized newly sworn-in Commissioner Milian Orbis.
Commissioner Milian Orbis expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve as County Commissioner for Commission District 6, and she thanked her family for their constant support and the Board members for their trust. She recognized Ambassador Kevin Marino Cabrera for his service to Miami-Dade County and now to the nation and noted one of his lasting legacies was his ability to rise above politics and remain focused on results. Commissioner Milian Orbis commented that her career with Miami-Dade County in 2006 and her tenure as Vice Mayor of West Miami revealed how government could be a positive impact when the focus was on people and not politics. She assured the Board members that she would work daily to earn Commission District 6 residents� trust, and would be present to listen and deliver.
Commissioner Milian Orbis commended the Board members and noted the Board was widely respected for its professionalism, collaboration and steady leadership, and it was an honor to join her colleagues.
It was moved by Commissioner Higgins to approve the foregoing motion. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Gilbert III, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 12-0 (Commissioner Gonzalez was absent).
The foregoing resolution has been assigned R-453-25.

MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BERMUDEZ RE: WISE 305
|
Withdrawn
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Bermudez moved, with the motion read into the record on his behalf by Assistant County Attorney Jose Vazquez, to direct the County Mayor or County Mayor's designee to create, as part of the Mayor's WISE 305 Strategic Initiative for enhancing government efficiency and subject to legally available funding within the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 County budget, a publicly available website allowing County residents and community stakeholders to submit suggestions, comments, and feedback on how to make Miami-Dade County government more efficient and transparent. The motion provided that a link to the website be placed within the Mayor's WISE 305 webpage and remain publicly available for at least six months, and that the website be operated and managed by the Board Media Division, which would collect the submissions and circulate them to the Board on a monthly basis.
Commissioner Bermudez explained that the intent was to give the public a single, low-cost avenue to share comments, avoiding duplication between the Board's efforts and the Mayor's WISE 305 program and ensuring that all members had access to the same information.
Chairman Rodriguez agreed with the intent but suggested the matter might be better suited for consideration by the GETC.
Commissioner Regalado supported the intent while cautioning that the County had experienced significant delays in keeping website information current, recalling a months-long effort to have online information updated. She noted that a similar concept had been implemented in the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD), where employees submitted ideas through a platform that were then vetted and recognized with awards, and suggested that an email address feeding into a registry made available to the Board might serve better than a website.
Commissioner Bermudez responded that the proposal was meant to be a simple, technology-based means for residents and stakeholders to be heard, giving those unable to attend Board or committee meetings an opportunity to express themselves.
Commissioner Gilbert III concurred with Commissioner Regalado and noted that the proposal warranted further review to determine what was already being done across departments and how those efforts might be consolidated.
While supporting the goal of creating broader avenues for public communication, he cautioned that the effort would carry a cost, as submissions would have to be reviewed and addressed. Commissioner Gilbert III indicated a preference for vetting the matter as a resolution in committee.
Commissioner Bermudez concurred that the item should be discussed in committee to identify and possibly consolidate related departmental efforts, reiterating that the Board and the administration should at least have a means of hearing from the public and stakeholders, and indicated that he would bring it forward at a level acceptable at a reasonable cost.
Commissioner Bermudez withdrew the motion and asked that the matter be taken up at the GETC.
Chairman Rodriguez asked the County Attorney�s Office to draft an item under Commissioner Bermudez's sponsorship for submission to the Office of the Chair, with the intent that it be placed on the May GETC agenda.
