So elena we thank you for not just being an advocate, a pioneer, trailblazer for women but I have to say 1/32 story, one that I've never said publicly and I probably shouldn't say in the chamber but when I am lena and I met we didn't meet under these circumstances. She happens to be one of the most loyal people I've met. Hands down and my first run which I lost that race I ran against someone that is like a child to her. And a second son to her. And that person and I could speak normally but ilena couldn't me because she was that loyal and just felt, she disliked me just because I was running against this person wide which by the way that person was running against me because I filed first but no one is keeping count but I'm honored to call you my friend so very well-deserved. >>. >> b" old school I use paper. >> she's also bossy, very bossy. I love you too. > I want to begin by thanking the amazing miami-dade county commission for women. The CHAIRMAN Of the board of county commissioners and myself my fellow honorees and everyone joining us today. While this is special and a personal honor the greatest honor for me is being recognized along with these extraordinary women, leaders, trailblazers and dedicated public servants who are making a positive impact on our community and whose contributions will be felt for generations to come. My message especially to the young girls who MAY be watching is simple. You can achieve anything you set your mind to do. Dream big, work hard and never underestimate your ability to make a difference but opportunity does not happen by accident, is made possible by the freedoms and rights we enjoy through our democracy and one of our most powerful ways we can keep our democracy strong and to ensure the doors of opportunity remain open for future generations is by exercising our right to vote. The midterms elections are coming up and I encourage everyone to make your voice heard and participate in our democracy. MAY GOD continue to bless our wonderful country and each and every one of us. Let's vote miami-dade, thank you. >>chair: I'm going to keep reading this over and over for each one of you, you all deserve it. Be it resolved our mayor of the county daniela levine cava myself as their CHAIRMAN, members of the board of county commissioners on behalf of miami-dade county proclaim today tuesday, JUNE 2, 2026 as ilena day. [Applause] >>chair: all right, I'm going to skip one because it's the one that can come, lauren is an inductee but she's summer filming in new york. She has a new show coming out. On broadway. Very cool so make sure to follow that but gloria estevan is one of ours so she couldn't be here. All right. Someone I've known for a good amount of time, time catches up to you. I feel like we just met but it's been almost a decade already. It's someone I call a friend, PRESIDENT Of fiu jeanette nunez, come on up. So talk about a real trailblazer, someone that when I met was I was going to say just but that's not just and I was in the role to so I won't diminish it but was a state legislator in the florida house. Then goes on for even bigger and greater things to become lieutenant governor of the great state of florida, the free great state of florida. Then just when you think she's going to go back to private life and get away from this all she takes on the role of PRESIDENT Of one of our most prestigious universities in florida so the real meaning of the trailblazer is standing beside me right now so congratulations, very well-deserved jeanette. [Applause] Claps thank you for that kind introduction into the fellow honorees well-deserved. So honored to be in such illustrious company. you call me a trailblazer but truly my mom is a trailblazer, she was the one that paved the way for me and I'm so grateful and for me my three guiding principles our faith family and freedom. Faith because without that we can do nothing written I honestly believe GOD has blessed me and the ladies here in front of me as well and truly you have a lot to do as elected officials, you accomplish many great things and pass legislation, work on the budget and that's all important but what really is important is how you leave your impact and legacy and I believe faith for me in particular is so important korea when you talk about family I mentioned my mom, she came to this country and barely knew the language, came with nothing more than the clothes on her back but was able to work and accomplish great things at a time when we it was easy for women to be executives in the private sector so I'm blessed I had her as an example and lastly freedom, we are celebrating america 250. We are blessed to live in the greatest country in the history of the planet and we have a responsibility to ensure we leave it better for the next generation and provide examples so for my own daughter, many daughters that are here and watching just know you can have an impact, you can leave a legacy but nothing should be more important than your faith, family and promoting freedom. Thank you to the commissioners for being here. >>chair: thank you MADAM PRESIDENT and would that be it resolved the mayor of the county daniela levine cava myself as your chair members of the board and on behalf of the 2.8+ million residents of miami-dade county and my friend ariel fernandez we proclaim today tuesday, JUNE 2 jeanette nunez day so congratulations. E're going to get his signature. He has this for you too. Is it a citation? I see it's not a parking spot. All right. Second to last. We are on time. So this next one is someone that I honestly, I'll say this. All of us have our forte. We have our strengths and weaknesses. And you're lucky if you're self-aware to know what those weaknesses are, something we are strong at everything. We know it all but that's not the truth. I have not been someone, I say this not because we are just in the chamber and we're doing these proclamations and recognitions, I have not met someone that is such a tough gal yet so compassionate and the balance between the two are something I've never seen because you either have rough and tough and they could be soft behind closed doors at home but you don't see it or they're just very soft and got nothing of toughness but to see that balance is something that to me is second to none. I've not seen it, this person to me is 10 out of 10. One of one, my friend madeleine pumariega, come on up. Not enough words I can say so you say some words and then we will do the whole thing. Claps thank you, first to the commission thank you so much for your service to our county and to selecting all of us. It to everyone I'm being honored with you all our friends. Together we do GOD's work in this community and I think some of that toughness comes from those days in hialeah. You know, being raised by a mom who started in a factory you learn about resilience and toughness and always sticking with your community but I accept this today on behalf of all of the women at miami-dade college that every day give me the opportunity to represent our college and be able to advocate for our students, for all our students and especially our female students, keep the dreams alive. Never would have imagined that when I was bouncing a basketball at miami dade college I would be here in the county commission of the community I love of the 305 being inducted into the women's hall of fame. The work we do every day is to make sure we elevate women and we elevate our community and we know that we do that through the power of education. Nd closing I would like to thank GOD. That every day my prayers that eye on the instrument of his love and I carry out what he wants in his purpose every day in our community and to my daughter alyssa, dreams come true and to all the young girls out there, keep believing and keep going on. Thank you and GOD bless you and thank you to all of you. >>chair: thank you MADAM PRESIDENT and with that be it resolved of the mayor of the county daniela levine cava, myself as chair members of the board of county commissioners on behalf of miami-dade counties 2.8 million+ residents and all miami-dade county college we proclaim today tuesday, JUNE 2, 2026 as madeleine pumariega day so congratulations. [Applause] All right. Last but not least. Very important. The house as I called it at the beginning. Our MADAM Mayor. I talked about very little but I talked about everyone and for me personally and I think I hope we can all share this, I think we can and I can speak for all of us maybe different words but for me it's been an honor to serve under your mayor ship. I know when, not often but when we have not seen eye to eye you have always pushed it very compassionately. You've always been very honest, very respectful and you see, I told you I can speak. And we've, you've had an open mind. Despite perhaps some differences, despite difference of opinions you've always kept an open mind to discussing whatever is best for our community and for our county and that is something there is not enough time on T.V. Or radio or flyers you can put out people will see that. It is only seen behind the dais and certainly as chair of the board I got the privilege to see that even at a step further than the rest. So with that come on up mayor, daniela levine cava. [Applause] >>mayor cava: those were beautiful words and I appreciate them deeply to my core. Yes, it is a big deal. That's what the CHAIRMAN Has been saying, this is a big deal and it's a big deal for many reasons. For me personally I was raised by a mother and father who believed I could do anything I set my mind on so I never lacked for support and in fact they often pushed me beyond my comfort zone. I've been so fortunate to have had the incredible support until they passed of my parents who were until then my biggest fans and now my biggest family husband robert who is with us here today. [Applause] And my daughter eliza who said to me on many occasions mom, fix it. So I always have that in my heart. There's a lot of things to fix and I of course do my very best in every role I've played to fix the things that need fixing in our society to make sure people have what they need to thrive especially the children. It's always been about making sure our children have the love, healthy resources. The support to achieve their greatest dreams. And I'm very proud of serving as mayor with the dream job of my career to do my best in partnership with all of you on the commission and with our partners in the community. I really didn't think much of the fact that I was the first mayor of the county until during the pandemic wearing masks a girl scout troop was interviewing me for a badge. There they were on the screen, they could ask anything they wanted and one little girl said how does it feel to be the first girl mayor. Some have heard me say that before but I want to tell you it's emblazoned on my heart that is not what we do, it's how we inspire others to do what they can do. And that's what that moment meant to me. O I'm humbled and grateful to be able to serve in this role and achieve this recognition and the women's park no less where I expect we will all be enshrined. And I want to say I'm so proud to share this day with these wonderful sisters, all friends, thank you. Thank you and GOD bless. And this is the only proclamation in the history of my mayor ship I have not signed. >>chair: that's what I was about to say. Be it resolved I as CHAIRMAN Of the board anthony rodriguez and members of the board of county commissioners on behalf of miami dade county and this community and let's add danielle fernandez to that to proclaim tuesday, JUNE 2, 2026 as the honorable daniela levine cava dave, congratulations mayor.

I also have, I don't know if I need to do public hearing first but I understand the administration's intent is to defer 5p, can I take that up or shall I do public hearing first collects it's at your discretion if you want to do the public hearing and defer. >> might as well get it out of the way. I'll entertain a motion to defer moved by commissioner lopez, second by commissioner cohen higgins, all in favor say aye. A all opposed, nay. Show that deferral past. >> is not till the next meeting. >> we can do it till the next meeting. Senator garcia you can release 5b. Hold on, we still have to do public hearing but it is not bifurcated. I'm going to open up public hearing at this time. When I call your name I have a few. Let me see. Actually, so most of my, let me see how I do this. You'll have a minute to speak, name and address, item you're speaking on but I don't know if there's a representative. But all items are for 5v or 5w which I bifurcated and I will take up it's the only one people are here for and it all is for four, I have a few info but no against. Are you all waiting to waive and support since I see your all for? So waiving in support raise your hand. Any that need to speak. Any that need to speak for or against that need to speak. Once again show of hands who is here in support? Hands down, who is here against it. All right, it's covered. So with that I will close public hearing. As that is all I have is only registered for 5v and 5w. All right, public hearing is now closed. I will take up 5v, 5v supplement and 5w first. >> MR. Chair, can we take up 5m and I want to say something. >>chair: let's take up these three and I will recognize you on 5m, would you move these items commissioner regalado so moving 5v, 5v supplement and 5w second by commissioner lopez. And clerk please call the roll. >>senator garcia: >>commissioner gonzalez: for. >>commissioner hardemon: for. >>commissioner gonzalez: yes. >>commissioner milian orbis: >>commissioner regalado: >>commissioner steinberg: >>commissioner bastien: yes. >>commissioner bermudez: yes. >>commissioner cohen higgins: for. >>chair: I vote yes. >> motion passes unanimously. >>chair: I'm going to take up item 5 and you are recognized commissioner regular auto. >>commissioner regalado: this impacts several districts but also impacts mine so I'm happy to move it really I've spoken a lot to my residence about these issues and was going to make the same comment if we took up the lighting districts but it appears we will defer that so I wanted to take the opportunity to the board that I've made a legislative request I think will respond to a lot of the concerns about these districts. I have a lot of special taxing districts in my area. And it appears we get more and more request for them. But one thing is to create them and the other thing is what happens when we have these increases. Usually when someone calls about the increases we give them the data with for example the lighting districts, this is what it costs, this is what we are charging, the county isn't making money off these things but I recognize there is a need for disclosure so my legislative request I wanted to talk about and we will work on it quickly is in the same way I brought an item to the board so if you have a septic tank it is disclosed to you when you purchase it and I brought another item so the information on the septic tanks is in the property appraiser's website, I bringing an item for special taxing districts so there will be a disclosure at per purchase of a home or department that has information on the special taxing district and will request the property appraiser include this information so people who were not there when the special taxing district was created have knowledge and can take this up when they're purchasing it and put that into config considerations as they negotiate a price. A lot of the complaints I get are not from homeowners that were there when the districts were created the homeowners that purchased afterwards that were not necessarily informed by their realtors or the sellers that there was a taxing district associated with this. they all want the lights, they want the security, they just didn't know they had this extra cost and that would be the most fiscally responsible way of dealing with that is starting with the disclosure and making sure we have this disclosure. I get to meet a resident who wants us to turn off the lights so I hope we can deal with that when that item returns but I'm happy to move this item and I'm working on the other one as soon as possible because I think especially at the sale point and on the property appraiser's website I think that knowing is going to eliminate more than 50% of the issues, thank you. >>chair: with that would you move the item. Seconded by commissioner lopez, clerk please call the roll. >>commissioner gonzalez: no. >>commissioner hardemon: >>commissioner gonzalez: yes. >>commissioner milian orbis: yes. >>commissioner regalado: yes. >>commissioner steinberg: >>commissioner mcghee: >>commissioner bermudez: no. >>commissioner cohen higgins: no. >>senator garcia: >>chair: I vote no. >> motion passes 60 5. >>chair: let's take, all right.

If any of my colleagues wish to bifurcated any of the second reading items, any bifurcations on second reading. >> I have request to bifurcate 7a, 7b and 7c. I have 7a commissioner bermudez and regular auto, 7b commissioner orbis 7c commissioner breaux viewed as and bastien and at the appropriate time I do need to read these titles. >>chair: go ahead and read the titles at this time. >> seven a creates the miami-dade county solid waste advisory board creating article 172 of chapter 2 of the code providing purpose composition and duties of the advisory board and other related matters and providing, providing severability, exclusion from the code and an effective date 7b is an ordinance relating to zoning rating section 33.5 of the code providing administrative acceptance and approval of covenants relating to the live local act in connection with proposed developments in transit oriented developments under certain circumstances providing criteria requirements and procedures applicable to such covenants and modification of covenants providing severability inclusion in the code and an effective date, 7c relates to the infill housing initiative amending section 17 124 of the code to limit the number of extensions and time granted to developments under the miami-dade county infill housing initiative program, providing severability, exclusion from the code and an effective date and 7e is an ordinance amending the boundaries of the sanitary sewer special benefit area by adding one property ratifying the non-ad valorem assessment role raised send assessments for the fiscal year commencing OCTOBER 2026 and ending SEPTEMBER 30, 2027 providing severability exclusion from the code and an effective date. >>chair: that's all. All right, I'll entertain a motion on, actually they were all bifurcated. The other ones were deferred already and passed. Commissioner mcghee on 7e, your recognized. >>commissioner bermudez: I applaud the attempt of this proposed ordinance in the sense that certainly regionalism is something we can argue would be great whether it's traffic and other things but having said that this commission has gone through numerous headaches when it comes to deal with and in many times we've competed on this dais to our friends in broward and palm beach to do some of these things collectively. I'm a little concerned that a creation of this board which is a miami dade county board will have representation from people from broward and palm beach county when there's been no contribution at least I haven't seen it from a really valid discussion on how to work together despite this body telling the administration and requesting I think they have been by the way to discuss the issue of solid waste with broward and palm beach. So I'm hesitant because of that and I don't think, I think the intent is good but I don't like the makeup of it. I like the makeup of the fact that we get to employ them but when you don't have skin in the game it's very easy to defer to the largest county and with the things happening that we all know are happening today or these days in tallahassee what are we doing? That concerns me. regional cooperation on south florida planning council certainly with the tpo and the three metropolitan planning organizations that's a different thing because everybody has the same staying but here where opening up the door to in my opinion to counties that while they are sister counties and we should be working together on this particular issue knowing it has been a divisive difficult issue for a miami dade county, there's been no, there is no at least I haven't seen any effort from either of these counties to move forward so I'm not going to be supportive of appointing individuals that are, they don't have skin in the game and that in the end could impact our constituents in the pocketbook and in the future any constituents down the road I'm just not going to be supportive of it. So I understand the intent. The intent MAY be good but the end result here I don't think is good for the residence of miami dade county and I won't be supportive of it. >>chair: commissioner regalado. >>commissioner regalado: I also appreciate the intent but I have a lot of issues with the item. My take on the tri-county issue is that the makers should consider what we are doing in transit. So currently in transit we have biweekly meetings with the three counties and their departments to deal with sf rta and other issues and I think if we wanted to do something with broward and palm beach we should engage their staff in that way and that isn't happening. So that's number one. In terms of the layout of this board, there's certain things in the item that are policy determinations that this board has not made. In fact this board as on several occasions discussed divergent and other things that are not represented in this item. We also had an rfi process where different proposals were brought to this board as we began the incinerator conversation. And I met with a lot of those proponents, there were good ideas proffered and we haven't really gone back to those ideas. So I think this board has a lot of information that we have acquired throughout this process and I think the right thing to do would be too sift through that information and to also look at our master plan. Miami-dade county spends a lot of money on a solid waste master plan that has never been brought to this board as anything other than an exhibit and we've never deep dived into any of that. So before we create yet another group of people to talk about solid waste I think we need to finish that solid waste conversation on our end and I'm happy to do that in the committee process, happy to do that in workshop. I'm happy to consider having staff meet with the other counties but I think that would be the better path forward. hear what we are going to do is create another committee where people will have lunch of other ideas disconnected from the department. Disconnected from our current reality, disconnected from our contracts, existing contracts and in some cases in contrast with our existing contracts and with the policy decisions that have been made by this board. I'm not a fan of just creating these committees and setting them off and nine times out of 10 we create a committee, we waste people's time. Everybody has to attend and some report comes back and we put it in some drawer somewhere never effectuate on it and I think it's difficult enough for us to get vendors to take us seriously and negotiate prices without creating yet another hurdle and yet another opportunity for lobbyists for waste management to go and sit and bill when in reality there isn't a nexus between what we are doing and this. We have an infrastructure committee. I think that would be the best place to have these conversations. Or we could have a workshop and bring all these folks. When we have the surfside issue I used the infrastructure committee to bring experts and we allow people to provide testimony and input and provided that information to the florida bar and the state attorney when they were working on that and that was a better use of people's time other issue we will have is when you set up a committee like this you don't necessarily get the best in the industry because the best in the industry don't have the time to commit to this. We just get a roomful of lobbyists so I am a no on this, I like the idea but this will create more confusion for us as we try to effectuate a solid waste portfolio that is environmentally supported by our residents and also fiscally responsible to our residents, thank you. >>chair: senator garcia you are recognized as this is your item . >>senator garcia: I appreciate the comments and we've got commissioner bermudez, the reason we called was exactly that to bring a regional approach to the issue of solid waste. We know palm beach has done a phenomenal job with their solid waste trying to bring some expertise from up there down here to see if we can do a better job. That's why I included them into the conversation. There's been conversations at the south florida regional planning council to take a regional approach looking at solid waste. Maybe someone does a better job with garbage and how we can do recycling. The conversations are continuously being held but if you feel comfortable if you're going to vote if I take that item out would you vote for the item or no. >>commissioner bermudez: I don't have a problem with the board but if there's, if the representation is solely for miami dade county I don't have a problem because we should hear from residents on this and I'm fine with that. >>commissioner bermudez: to clarify a couple of points I'll be happy to amend that out. But I just want you all to understand that when we lease would not be a room with lobbyists because it's all of us and we need to appoint folks, we created the behavioral health board that we brought in all professionals. I think commissioner vicki lopez understands and knows how good that board is working. The point is to make sure we have other options and when experts are taking us three years to come up with a decision and we are getting close but I think when we look at solid waste it's a much broader conversation that we sometimes don't have the full conversation at the board so that's the item before us and I will end then that out to give the commissioner room. >>chair: senator garcia moves his item as amended, seconded by commissioner lopez. And clerk please call the roll. >>commissioner regalado: no. >>commissioner steinberg: >>commissioner bastien: yes. >>commissioner bermudez: amended, yes. >>commissioner cohen higgins: >>senator garcia: >>commissioner gonzalez: for. >>commissioner hardemon: for. >>commissioner lopez: yes. >>commissioner milian orbis: yes. >>chair: yes. >> motion passes 10 one, good work senator garcia, very center of you, I like that. Commissioner you are recognized on 70. >>commissioner milian orbis: I had a few questions to the administration and I wanted to ask if these covenants or these agreements, are they currently reviewed by the commission, do these come to the commission right now or what is the approving authority for these agreements currently. >>chair: the commission I know the lawyers are recognized to, she said administration. >>commissioner milian orbis: I want to know any money. The attorneys or administration, whoever could answer my question. >> this is implementing an allowance under the live local act to accept agreements that would set parameters for the development of a live local project located in a transit oriented development, there is currently nothing in our code that addresses that allowance. This is providing a procedure that would both allow the administration through the rer director to accept those administratively but it also of course the board retains the authority to accept those covenants in connection with a zoning hearing or to modify them. >>commissioner milian orbis: but is this taking away the authority from our board to review these covenants? >> it is delegating authority to accept them administratively but is not taking away ford's authority to review them at a special exemption hearing to request modifications. Or to approve them at that step if they're not accepted administratively so there is a delegation of authority but the board has the authority to approve them in connection with public hearing. >>commissioner milian orbis: your answer is not very clear. If we approved this well the covenants come to us or be approved by the administration. >> they will be able to be accepted by the administration administratively. But this board still has authority to also accept the covenants. >>chair: it delegates authority. >>commissioner milian orbis: it does, okay. My concern is live local can be modified by the state and this takes away oversight. And today it MAY be okay but tomorrow we are delegating a great deal of authority over these developments. O that's my concern. I would like more clarification on this MR. Chair. I see the commissioner is sponsoring commissioner. >>chair: I'm following your line of questioning so how is this different than how it is today, like today you enter into a covenant with the applicant and when the item comes to us it already comes with a recommended accepted covenant by the administration that then we vote on. Is this a different? >> it does include delegation of authority as I mentioned MR. Chair so it would be for the administration to accept them and the significance is the board does not see live local covenants until the special exception hearing after the board has decided whether to allow property to come into the rtc and once they're in the rtc full parameters of live local when applied so this is the tool that would allow for a covenant to be accepted on the front-end which MAY give assurances in certain circumstances. >>commissioner milian orbis: MR. Chair I still had another question. This is allowing the administration, I'm reading off the items. Maximum height density parking requirements. So the administration would have the authority to make those decisions for the covenant before it comes to us. >> the statute calls for it to be an agreement so this would have to be a voluntary proffer by the developer but it would allow the administration to accept those or to comment on whether those are appropriate for the area, those parameters. >>commissioner milian orbis: but it gives the administration more jurisdiction or power over these proposed developments. >> there is the bit delegated authority to determine if that's a appropriate proffer by the delegate. >>commissioner milian orbis: I'm still not clea
