| REPORT: | County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read into the record the title of the foregoing proposed ordinance. Budget Director David Clodfelter, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), advised the foregoing ordinance should be amended to correct scrivener’s errors as follows: 1. on page 210, Attachment I, entitled “Miami-Dade County Fire Prevention Fee Schedule,” to replace the Implementing Order to include certain existing categories of fees that were inadvertently removed from printed version; 2. on page 335, Operating Budget Appropriations Schedule for the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Grants (Fund SR013), to remove the word residential; 3. on page 352, Operating Budget Appropriations Schedule for Corrections and Rehabilitation, Special Revenue Operations (Fund S1018-S1021), Revenues section, to increase the “Subsistence and Uniform Fees” line item amount from $650,000 to $1.590 million and increase the corresponding Revenues section amount for the total from $3.165 million to $4.105 million; 4. on page 352, Operating Budget Appropriations Schedule for Corrections and Rehabilitation, Special Revenue Operations (Fund S1018-S1021), Expenditures section, to increase the “Boot Camp” line item figure from $60,000 to $1 million and increase the corresponding Expenditures section figure for the total from $3.165 million to $4.105 million; 5. on page 389, Operating Budget Appropriations Schedule for Jackson Health Systems Operating Budget, Revenues section, to change the name of the line item titled “Transfer from Countywide General Fund (Fund G1001) for Maintenance of Effort” to “Transfer from Countywide General Fund and COVID Support,” change the line item’s corresponding figure from $230,687,000 to $2,376,870, and change the corresponding figure for the total from $2,648,658,000 to $2,655,658,000; and 6. on page 389, Operating Budget Appropriations Schedule for “Jackson Health Systems Operating Budget, Expenditures section, to include a new line item titled “COVID Vaccination Support” with $7 million and change the figure for the total from $2,648,658,000 to $2,655,658,000. County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan announced Commissioner Martinez had requested the community-based organizations (CBOs) portion of this ordinance be bifurcated due to a conflict of interest. County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan also announced Commissioner Sosa had requested Section 14 of this ordinance relating to Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) proposed water and sewer fees/charges increases be bifurcated. It was moved by Commissioner Higgins that the Board of County Commissioners adopt on first reading the portion of this ordinance relating to the community-based organizations (CBOs) funding allocations as presented. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Sosa; and upon being put to a vote, the motion passed by a roll call vote of 11-0 (Commissioners Martinez and McGhee were absent). In response to Commissioner Sosa’s questions relating to the department’s ability to verify job loss for customers with water bills in arrears and the established verification procedure, Department Director Roy Coley, WASD, responded a resolution governed how the department addressed this problem. He stated the department lacked the authority to disconnect water service due to lack of payment during the State of Emergency until sixty (60) days past the State of Emergency Order had expired, and the department was unable to verify if customers were actively seeking employment. Commissioner Sosa asked the County Attorney to prepare an emergency legislative item that would allow WASD to verify if customers affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with water and sewer accounts in arrears were actively seeking employment and that item be presented for the Board’s consideration prior to the second budget hearing. Commissioner Martinez clarified the impact on future revenues and the rating to the County’s bonds rather than the uncollected accounts caused sewer fee increases. He emphasized the water and sewer accounts in arrears needed to be collected. It was moved by Vice Chairman Gilbert III that the Board of County Commissioners adopt on first reading all of Section 14 of this ordinance, which included any rate increases in WASD, relating to Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) proposed water and sewer fees/charges as presented. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Regalado; and upon being put to a roll call vote, the motion failed by a vote of 4-8 (Commissioners Cohen Higgins, Garcia, Heyman, Martinez, Regalado, Sosa, Souto, and Chairman Diaz voted no). (Commissioner McGhee was absent). Commissioner Monestime questioned the relationship between the $25 million deficit and the service accounts in arrears. Mayor Levine Cava advised the budget would have to be reduced by the same amount if the Board rejected the proposed fees/charges increases for water and sewer services. She suggested the Board should take a second vote to approve the proposed water and sewer fees/charges as presented to allow the County Administration the opportunity to prepare alternative budgetary solutions for the Board’s review at the Second Budget Hearing. She stated the Board could reject the proposed water and sewer fees/charges increases if the proposed budgetary alternatives presented at the Second Budget Hearing were accepted. Discussion ensued among Board members and the County Attorney regarding how to address the budgetary shortfall. As suggested by County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan, Chairman Diaz recessed the meeting to allow the Budget Director to determine the impact the action not to approve the proposed rate increases for the water and sewer fees/charges would have on the budget and identify funding sources to amend and balance the budget. Upon returning from the recess, Mayor Levine Cava reiterated the Board could reconsider approving the proposed increases for water and sewer fees/charges; and if not the Budget Director Clodfelter would propose budget cutbacks to offset the reduction in revenues from the water and sewer fees/charges. Discussion ensued between Chairman Diaz and County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan regarding the voting procedure to amend budget to address the budgetary shortfall in revenues and be able to reduce the budget by an equivalent amount, including the amendment previous read into the record by the Budget Director. Budget Director Clodfelter advised the Miami-Dade water and sewer revenues and expenses sections could be amended to offset the revenues shortfall as follows: 1. decrease water production revenues from $364,953 million to $353,176 million; 2. decrease waste water disposal revenues from $434,399 million to $422,216 million; 3. decrease the subtotal operating revenues from $828,694 million to $804,734 million; 4. increase the transfer from other funds from $9,018 million to $12,226 million; 5. decrease the total from $930,296 million to $909,544 million 6. decrease the administration reimbursement expenses from $22,292 million to $21,647 million 7. decrease the renewal and replacement expenses from $95 million to $75 million; 8. decrease the subtotal operating expenditures from $594901 million to 574256 million 9. decrease the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021/22 cash requirement for bond ordinance expense from $82,900 million to $82,793; and 10. decrease the total from $930,296 million to $909,544 million. County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan suggested Chairman Diaz recess the meeting to consult and confirm with OMB staff if the proposed rate increases contained in the Implementing Order attached to Section 14 of the foregoing ordinance related only to water increase rates and not sewer rate increases. She stated they also needed to confirm if the other ordinances presented at today's (9/14) meeting were impacted by this action. Upon reconvening the meeting, Commissioner Regalado stated that the Board should approve the water and sewer rate increases as presented to allow the County Administration an opportunity to review the proposed rates and identify a solution that would offset the decrease in revenues and balance the budget if the proposed WASD’s rate increases were rejected. She also stated the public be made aware that the Board members were doing everything possible to preserve the water and sewer rates at the current levels, but it would most likely be impossible to reduce the rates due to the impact that action would have on the County’s bonds. She noted that WASD should initiate the process to collect the accounts of customers in arrears. It was moved by Commissioner Regalado that the Board of County Commissioners reconsider Vice Chairman Gilbert’s motion to adopt on first reading Section 14 of this ordinance relating to the proposed WASD’s water and sewer fees/charges rate increases. Commissioner Cohen Higgins seconded this motion, and the floor was opened for discussion. Discussion ensued among the Board members and County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan regarding the motion to reconsider. Commissioner Higgins expressed her concerns for the impact this action would have on the WASD’s Consent Decrees, ocean outfall, and the County’s bond ratings. Commissioner Garcia asked that Mayor Levine Cava and the County Administration provide assurance that the water and sewer rate increases would be lowered or that the rate increases would be mitigated. Upon conclusion of the foregoing discussion, the motion was put to a roll call vote and passed by a vote of 11-2 (Commissioners Martinez and Sosa voted no). Chairman Diaz asked the County Administration to meet with each commissioner to review the proposed rate increases. Commissioner Sosa asked that Section 14 of this ordinance relating to the water and sewer rates be bifurcated. Discussion ensued among the Board members and County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan regarding bifurcating Section 14 of this ordinance. It was moved by Commissioner Sosa that the Board of County Commissioners bifurcate Section 14 of this ordinance relating to the water and sewer rates. Commissioner Martinez seconded this motion, and the floor was opened for discussion. Commissioner Regalado spoke on the importance to have the water and sewer rates increased. In response to Commissioner Regalado’s question regarding what were the limitations due to time constraints, Mayor Levine Cava explained the proposed water and sewer rate increases averaged $1.86 per month increase per household. She advised the County Administration would provide the Board with alternative options for no rate increases for either water or sewer, a rate increase for just one of the fees and/or charges; and the County Administration would address the moratorium on fees and provide options. In response to Commissioner Garcia’s question regarding an amendment to direct the Mayor to provide budgetary alternatives before the second budget hearing, County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan explained Mayor Levine Cava had asked for an opportunity to review the budget and provide alternative options on how to address this issue. She clarified Commissioner Garcia’s intent was to direct Mayor Levine Cava to provide the Board with that information. She noted that action would not solve the motion before the Board at this time. Vice Chairman Gilbert III advised he supported the action of adopting on first reading the water and sewer rates proposed to provide Mayor Levine Cava an opportunity to review the budgetary solutions available to the Board at the second budget hearing for a no rate increase option. He pointed out the rate increases were not about the monies owed to the County but rather the improvements that needed to be done; therefore, the Board needed to understand what would remain undone if the rate increases were not imposed. He noted this issue needed further discussion, and the public should be allowed the opportunity to speak on this issue. Commissioner Sosa offer to withdraw her motion to have the Board bifurcate Section 14 of this ordinance. Chairman Diaz advised he was unsupportive of voting on this ordinance including water and sewer rate increases. Commissioner Higgins clarified the ordinance was a first reading item, and the final vote would be done at the second budget hearing on September 28, 2021. She noted today’s (09/14) vote would only provide the Mayor an opportunity to evaluate what would happen under different scenarios. In response to Commissioner Monestime’s questions regarding how the federally mandated projects would be address, Budget Director Clodfelter advised Mayor Levine Cava’s had proposed to provide that explanation at the second budget hearing after an evaluation of the options was done. Commissioner Heyman spoke in support of providing Mayor Levine Cava an opportunity to evaluate the alternative funding sources and provide the Board with options and supported voting on this ordinance in its entirety as presented. Commissioner Martinez spoke in support of bifurcating Section 14 of this ordinance because he wished to stop the proposed rate increases at this point. Commissioner McGhee spoke in support of providing Mayor Levine Cava an opportunity to evaluate the alternative funding sources and provide the Board with options and supported voting on this ordinance in its entirety as presented. Commissioner Hardemon clarified the motion on the table and asked the Board members consider the impact of their action. Upon conclusion of the foregoing discussion, County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan clarified that, in accordance with the Board’s Rules of Procedure, a commissioner’s request to bifurcate a section of an item at the first budget hearing did not require a separate motion and vote. Consequently, no vote was taken on Commissioner Sosa’s motion to bifurcate Section 14 of this ordinance. County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan clarified the motion was to approve Section 14 of this ordinance, which included WASD’s Implementing Order. Discussion ensued among the Board members regarding how a yes or no vote would affect the outcome of Section 14 of this ordinance and whether the Board members wished to vote separately on this section. It was moved by Commissioner Monestime that the Board of County Commissioners adopt on first reading Section 14 of this ordinance relating to the water and sewer rates. Vice Chairman Gilbert III seconded this motion, and the floor was opened for discussion. Discussion ensued among the Board members and County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan regarding amending the item to direct Mayor Levine Cava to provide alternative solutions. Upon conclusion of the foregoing discussion, the motion made by Commissioner Monestime and seconded by Vice Chairman Gilbert III to approve Section 14 was put to a vote and passed by a roll call vote of 9-4 (Commissioners Martinez, Sosa, Souto and Chairman Diaz voted no). It was moved by Commissioner Garcia that the Board of County Commissioners direct Mayor Levine Cava to revisit WASD proposed water and sewer rate increases for the proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22. He also asked that the County Mayor come back before the Board with different options to ensure that the County mitigated the increase of water rates and that a no rate increase option be included. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Sosa; and upon being put to a vote, the motion passed by a vote of 13-0. It was moved by Commissioner Sosa that the Board of County Commissioners adopt on first reading the balance of Agenda Item H. Commissioner Regalado seconded this motion, and the floor was opened for discussion. In response to Commissioner Martinez’s question, County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan explained the proposed rates approved were for various departments. Upon conclusion of the foregoing discussion, the motion to approve the balance of Agenda Item H was put to a vote and passed by a vote of 10-3 (Commissioners Martinez, McGhee, and Garcia voted no). This ordinance was adopted on first reading as amended with a directive to Mayor Levine Cava to revisit the proposed increases for water and sewer fees/charges for the proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 budget. The Board members asked that the options available to avoid effectuating the proposed fees/charges increases be presented at the Board of County Commissioners' Second Budget Hearing scheduled for September 28, 2021. | ||||||
