Witnessed how serious this conversation has taken, how involved these groups of leaders have been pushing the conversation forward to ensure that we tackle the dfficult issues that we all feel should be addressed and should be brought before the people of miami-dade county.

Members of the public will be gven an opportunity to speak when the item is called. mr. Chairman, at this time, you May wish to extend the reasonable opportunity to be heard. >> I sure do. At this time, surgeon and arms, are we ready? All right. I believe the first person we have is annie lord? Ms. Lord? Please state your name and I just for the record as all the speakers are listening. You have two minutes to speak. Thank you. You May commence. >> thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chair and all the commissioners today. I name is annie lord and I'm the executive director at miami homes for all. Our address is 1951 nw. Seventh avenue in miami, 33136. I am here today in support of item 8k1 which authorizes miami-dade county and the public housing and community development department to accept federal funding for housing assistance. Thank you so much, commissioner higgins, for your leadership on this item. As we are aware, the pandemic has impacted the entire housing ecosystem in miami-dade from renters to landlords to lenders. We are pleased to see this program move forward and that it seeks to both keep tenants in place during a public health crisis and also make landlords whole that they do not bear the burden of all the economic crisis as well. We also ask that the commission consider incorporating and assurances for tenants that they May remain in safe and stable husing. We are happy to provide similar clauses from state run covid rental assistance programs. In addition to eamples from other florida counties that speak to the following assurances: number one, the dismissal of any pending eviction actions against a tenant with each side bearing their own fees and costs for 15 days after receiving the funds from the county. Relieving the tenant from any remaining financial obligation, existing prior to the date of the agreement; third, preventing a landlord who receives public funds from seeking a no cause of action until January 222; and preventing the increase of a tenant's rent through January 2022; then the return of funds to miami-dade county if the landlord violates the terms of the agreement. We believe the program with those kind of assurances would serve the entire housing ecosystem and especially protect those tenants that are extremely vulnerable at this time to public health and economic impact. Thank you so much. >> thank you. Now I have lem? I'm sorry if I mispronounced your name. >> no, no problem. Good morning, everyone. My name is aloma different. I'm the vice President Of policy and advocacy at catalyst miami. So happy to be able to address you all today. Like annie, I'm also speaking in support of emergency rental program. >> can I get -- I'm sorry. >> oh, the address! >> give me the name and address please. >> allow, deference, catalyst, miami 3000 biscayne boulevard, miami, florida 33137. So we are speaking in support of this program but also onto emphasize that there be protections for tenants so that landlords who receive this money do not put the tenants out on the street. So I just want to emphasize to the speaker that we are going to go more deeply into it and I also want to encourage you all to consider solutions for those on month-to-month leases or without a lease so we can have as much as of our community in need as possible take advantage of this program. Lastly, on an unrelated note, I wanted to encourage the board to consider expanding our democracy and this opportunity. Unlucky to participate and address you all to doing some sort of virtual or phone call option for public comment again, see some of our cities, the city of miami in city of miami beach implementing that. We would love to see that so more people can share their feedback on the great work y'all are doing. All right? I will leave it there. Thank you. >> thank you, ma'am. Alana? I'm sorry. Yes, alana, please. >> good morning., name is alana greer. And with the community justice project in our office is 3000 biscayne boulevard am a resident of district 7. I'm also here today to talk about the rent assistance fund. This money is urgently needed right now. Unfortunately, the need for outpaces the assistance we've seen so far. In order to have the intended impact that I know everyone on that diaz and dibona community was to see is essential that we get this program right. As of today, over 9000 evictions have been filed during the covid emergency. Our office works with tenants and represents them in landlord-tenant court. One of the most frustrating and concerning trends I have seen these tenants coming to talk to us who landlords have received money from this rental assistance program, other programs across the state, yet they are continuing to pursue evictions. Sometimes landlords are receiving tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Orlando, the state of florida, the governor's program and many others have put clauses in, simple clauses that say when we are giving you a rent assistant check, it does also's problem and you agree to resolve this case. Simple and to the point. Florida unfortunately has tremendous number of loopholes including being able to evict someone for no reason at all, being able to raise rent with minimal to no notice, and being able to pursue evictions after they receive that money, unless the program says otherwise. Right now, our local moratorium is the only protection many tenants have, but this rent assistance program has the potential along with the moratorium to close the loopholes and ensure stability for our community across the bard. I urge you to represent this policy today and put the additional terms into effect to make this program have the impact the old intent into a continue with the important work of the moratorium that's been sent out through this crisis. Thank you. Greer. Diana gibbs, please. >> good morning, missionary. My name is tiana and 11 1951 nw. 79th street. Commissioners menacing district. I have lived there happily for the last three years with my beautiful son, armani, then covid head. I have done everything in my power to stay working, even while helping my sumter his own classes which goes through 8:00 A.M. To 2:00 P.M. For the first time in m life. I have an eviction filed against me. This has been devastating. I have had panic attacks and fear for my life and my son cosmic life. We know some help is on the way. We know that help is on the way, rent relief. we know that there are some landlords that are also hurting. But my landlord is a corporate landlord and owns several business. According to the recent jobs with justice studies, corporate landlord's took over 320 million from public taxpayers and still affected thousands of people who look like me. Please hold corporate landlords accountable, please make sure if we give them our taxpayer dollars, that they agree not to move forward with anymore evictions during this pandemic. Thank you. >> thank you, ma'am. Italia jesus? >> good morning, commissioners. I will not make a comment. [Inaudible] I just wanted to hear and observe. Thank you. >> thank you.

Last time that the meeting, we were very careful, we were advised by our attorney to be very careful about jeopardizing this particular negotiation, etc., this particular negotiation, etc., etc. I would like a rhea county attorneys to weigh in on whether or not your advice has changed from two weeks ago about having the board involved in this process where we are today. I'm not sure who -- monica, maybe it is you. But you gave us very specific advice. I believe it was in response to commissioner heyman's question about what we should be talking about and saying about this particular item. >> commissioner, I would like to ask monica if she could respond to the. >> thank you. >> thank you, commissioner higgins. With respect to communications at a public meeting, our advice has not changed. Would caution you that because there is still the possibility that this matter could have to be litigated and resolved in arbitration, we would ask that the discussions of the public meetings be limited answer, sex. We have taken up. [Inaudible] >> I believe that the motion of the porch is passed to allow Chairman Diaz to negotiate to try to obtain a better settlement for the county than that which is before you outside of public meeting and ascension meeting forms. >> thank you, monica. Mr. Chair, no offense is meant to you, but we have professional negotiators, the best law firm, as we always say over and over again in miami-dade county, and I believe that it could set a precedent that anyone of us as commissioners could make a motion and suddenly be negotiating every contract, every rejection of a contract, every procurement, etc., etc. This is nothing to do with you, sir, but for me it is a precedent setting that I'm not willing to make at this time and that's why voted against it. Thank you. >> I appreciate tose that voted already. I will sate one more time that I got a phone call. They say they want to improve what they've already negotiated, and therefore they wnted to speak to me. That is all it is. Now, I understand and respect your positions. The vote has been taken. I will come back and I will hear the amounts. I think I have been here for 19 years along with my colleagues. I know the rules and regulations and what has happened. Therefore, that is what this is. For those of you that, you know, believe in our trust, thank you. I will bring back the information and we will take it from there. >> thank you, thank you. >>. [Inaudible] >> commissioner sosa, o this item? >> no. Let me ask the question related. That means that item f81, that was approved in the public will not discuss today, because I removed my name after I saw the memo from the mayor that the funding was going to be annotated in the general fund to the public. That was my concern. I was very glad to see that. So that means we are not going to discuss eight f1? >> commissioner, I think we will discuss it. The only thing that's changing is, to put simply, right now the settlement is around $4 million. The Chairman Will have conversations to see if -- >> I know. >> we will still discuss the items. They will be taken upper leader. >> we are going to take the items -- >> we want to give before the Chairman Comes back, but we will take the items. >> then put my name back. >> okay. Mr. Attorney? Could you add commissioner sosa's name to the polis, eight f1 police? >> we will add her back. >> thank you, thank you. What do we have next, Mr. Attorney? >> Mr. Vice chair, my little hand is up. >> okay. I cannot -- thank you. I'm sorry. Commissioner regalado. How are you? >> I'm doing well. How are you? [Inaudible] >> very quickly, I went to just clarify a point. I did some research on this because of the group layout! Just, if you could advise the board on the ordinance that allows us to select one of our fellow commissioners, give them the ability to negotiate or to resolve a litigation, it's actually been in our rules for a long time. It does not apply to contract negotiations but specifically to litigations. >> Mr. Attorney, recognize. >> commissioner, I would like to ask monica rizzo if she could please address the issue by zoom. >> thank yu. >> yes! Thank you, commissioner regalado. On finding the specific ordinance right now. It is in the county's conflict of interest and code of ethics ordinance where there is a restriction on commissioners directly participating and any settlement negotiations. [Inaudible] Unless of course there is a resolution or motion that is adopted by the board designating and allowing commissioners to do so. And that is put that motion into their. [Inaudible] >> thank you. To be clear, this does not impact contract, this is just about litigation and our ability to participate in litigation. We must do it with the consensus. >> yes, commissioner. >> thank you very much, monica. >> thank you, Mr. Vice chair. >> thank you. Okay. Mr. Attorney, I believe we are on public hearing? >> yes, sir.

Alex masato? >> good morning. My name is ijaz pesaturo. I'm here with the is engineering. Addresses 55 murray avenue, coral gables, florida 33134. I'm also here to answer any questions. >> those are all the names I have for -- you heard it on all items and we will now close. [Inaudible] Does anybody want to explain these items? >> 5b. >> commissioner higgins? >> this transfer for cultural affairs 1235, it's going to cultural affairs operation. This is not going to win particular program per se. Had a shortfall and transfer is coming from, as you mntioned, the convention development tax shortfall, reserve fund, which basically was established for this purpose! What we are looking at in the next few months! Thank you. Chair, just to say we will be briefing all of you in great detail exactly about those points, not only for that budget but all of the budgets in preparation for the March budget address by the mayor. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioner. >> Mr. Chair, I want to remind commissioner hardiman that we work together in the tourist development council, and we were able to save a lot of money in that committee in the last two yars, and that is something that we bring to the attention of the administration, because we know that there is fiscal impact because of the lack of tourist tax, but we were able to leave that tourist development with money because we were very conservative in giving out money. So look at that part, because that can help. Is Ms. Moon here? Ms. Moon? The question that we are talking about for the affordable housing, low income housing, senior housing which I am totally in favor of, but the part that commissioner garcias is bringing is that is something that will affect if we do it at a later time, or do we have to fund it over there? What I want is for the commissioners to stay here in this table, that you have the option to vote on the different programs, the different projects that they bring. I don't want to take away from your hands the ability to know what is going to happen in this district where the needs are for what it is. It's not the funding itself. Funding. It is the process. we are on our way out, many of us. Many of you are going to stay here and we want to make sure you have the ability as commissioners to be able to vote for that. That is my concern. Can you help with that? >> sorry, jennifer moon of obt a, whatever that stands for. The trust fund currently has a balance of a little under $12 million. The affordable housing board, there is a board tat was created, that they are supposed to make recommendations about how to allocate those funds. And there are several verses of funding that come in that particular trust fund, including when land or property sold a portion of the is contributed to the trust fund. This particular sources affairs carryover generated in excess of what was used in the budget, so it's really -- if it's not coming from a particular program, it's excess carryover and 50 percent of it goes into the trust fund. With this, the trust fund balances closer to $19 million. At the time that there was discussion regarding this trust fund, the idea was to get it up to $100 million and then that board would have the ability to make allocations to make significant changes to the availability of affordable housing in miami-dade county. There are opportunities, like commissioner higgins discussed, and all of those come back to this board for approval. There are things like that working with dhcp and with that affordable housing board, but this is one of the things that we have talked about many times in terms of clarifying all of the available funds and all of the procedures for the allocation of affordable funds for affordable housing to get into the community and make it work faster. So I know at different points in time to have been discussions about how to change. I know director lou has been involved in it as wll, how to make sure the money gets out faster through the community. >> thank you very much. Commissioner garcias, [Inaudible] Make sure that it comes to the table for approval and the public knows where it's going and make it crystal clear. I will be more than glad to postpone. Thank you. >> thank you. Anyone else on this item or any of the fives?: rojo now. >> four. >> I have someone ready. I thought we already voted. There was a motion to reconsider. They wanted us to take a single roll call vote on all of them. >> this is for all items except 5g. Is that correct? >> this is for all the fives. >> for all the fives. >> including 5g. >> want to speak on 5g? >> that's what we said in the beginning. >> I thought we agreed on 5g. Of this mission is for 5g, that's fine. vote on it. >> let's do vocal on 5g. >> for. >> four. >>. [Inaudible] >> yes? >> now on 5g, commissioner higgins? >> thank you, Mr. Chair. Into the department and also to the sponsor of this item, somehow it's recorded incorrectly, but on first reading, I was the loan a no vote on this item. I really appreciate, nathan and your team before working collaboratively to putting changes and adjustments so that it did not affect every single neighborhood with the high-rise building in the entire county. The original item would have allowed for almost every rooftop to be used as advertisement for anyone living in a high-rise would've had the opportunity, whether high-rise downtown, brickle, edgewater, aventura, on and on and on throughout the county, particularly as we build tod, anytime you're in an apartment building, get up and looking down on an inverted smith. Department works collaboratively to really make changes to this so that it becomes extremely specific to venues we actually wanted this to happen. Example, american airlines arena. We are not expecting every group of every building, just every now and then some of these assets. I appreciate those changes. O network comments on the record that as this goes forward, and should any kind of rooftop signage be implemented, I want the department as they review it and as they approve it to make sure that every design is appropriate for the fact that there May be someone home above it, just because you live in an apartment does not mean it's not your home. It does not mean your kids are looking down upon it. And so, I expect all of the signs to be reviewed appropriately. I know Mr. Cogan, would you be the person that could agree to that or who can put -- you can reassure me that that will be taken into account, >>. [Inaudible] >> development services, yes. This ordinance is a minimum standard which could authorize municipalities to adopt their own standards. At the end of the day, we have provisions in this ordinance that come back to the county, whether municipality or not, for final review and approval consistent with the code. One thing I want to point out is that these signs are considered point of sale signs, which means is not intended to be a mural or billboard advertising off-site products or services where we do lose a little bit of control, because you don't necessarily know what those are. We know that because it's point of sale, it has to advertise that building and location on-site. That gives us back control.

The honorable judge scott and the honorable judge linda b commission you are recognized . >> thank you Mr. Vice chair. Thank you for taking us out of order I really appreciate it. This item comes from several conversations that are physically doing the eviction you guys recall when I brought the item by the eviction data we talked about these meetings and. [States name and address] Are seeing in other counties. You have all seen the report and I think it's very important we look at the data when we evaluate commissioner higgins item coming up a little bit later in the day. This item deals with the folks we know are going to come into the eviction system. We know historically when there is a moratorium people don't file as many evictions. He look at the report you see we hve less evictions now than we did the last two years. This the second day of evictions even expecting. The judge that appeared today that a tremendous job. The idea would be too create a website where folks that start the eviction process now would immediately go into that portal and try to resolve the issue before goes further on in mitigation . For those about to litigate we know everyday relitigating is harder and harder to settle the matter. I would like to have them speak to you I have this is b this is a law being considered in tallahassee that would make this mandatory but what they have come up with is very thoughtful and would really resolve a lot of the issues of the folks coming into the pipeline which we know are going to be a lot more than what are currently in the pipeline at present. I think the chair is back k. Hello Mr. Chair, how are you? >> I'm good how are you feeling? >> I am good . Thank you for allowing this item since our judges are here . >> turned on your mic Mr. Chair r. >> can you hear me now? Okay. Glad to add least have you on zoom . With that I 11 a seven yet the honorable judge stark and the honorable judge singer stein . Ladies first . Your honor ? >> thank you so much. Thank you commissioner regalado and thank you mayor cava and commissioners. I'm judge linda stein the administrative judge of the b together with my colleagues we wish to thank you for your consideration of this most important issue to the community as a whole. The judges and administrative team have been working diligently to develop a web-based program to address the concerns of all involved involving convictions. We have named the product the court housing eviction landlord-tenant portal known as court help. Our goal is to provide equitable b all parties to come to resolution without the need for further court proceedings through mediation in an expeditious manner. My colleague judge jenna woods has been an integral part of this effort so I turn it over to him at this time. >> thank you your honor. Good morning everyone . With over 2.7 mllion residents, miami-dade county is the most popular county in florida and the seventh most popular county in the united states. In the three years before the pandemic hit miami-dade county average 18,000 evictions a year. It's estimated that eviction will dramatically rise in 2,021 and the coming years. Some estimates even say the eviction numbers are going to double . As these numbers increase we are seeing the evictions already starting to occur heard we are being told these numbers will dramatically increase as even some attorney from sending b clients are waiting until a moratorium expires before filing cases. Under the current law and current system eviction cases take significant time with the clerk's office and hearing time with judges. The judicial circuit learn a lot with the crisis a little more than a decade ago. We the courthouse plans take a proactive approach as opposed to a reactive approach to a fair and equitable solution an efficient and quick resolution to the benefit of all. Providing access to justice by allowing the landlord and tenant to quickly resolve the dispute and decrease cost for all parties. The benefits of the limitation include increased community testability the parts in the eviction process making courts more user-friendly . >> of the fine court forms, developing guides and instruction on how to proceed wth developing self-help centers and using internet technology landlord and tenant would have an early-stage discussion resulting from case triage to work out differences for a faster and secure online resolution . As tenants, landlords . Those that are represented in mediation . We expect fewer negative outcomes homelessness and reliance on public assistance. more resolutions in the courthouse. It will require fewer rental termination hearings and final trials and evictions for in person court appearances and allowing the other hundred 30,000 civil county core courses . Tenants will negotiate cannot uproot and discuss b greater community stability as it relates to housing. Give you a little idea b tenants will be asked to complete the assessment questionnaire . There apply tenant responses to document that can be used to file in the case. This assessment questionnaire is b presentation by the tenants and the legal issues , the tenant is not owed the expected amount. They became ability to upload documents support position. Courthouse expect to be sensible by computer, tablet or mobile phone and we expect mediation to assimilate as their alibi zoom. Develop and secure necessary software , integrate into 11th circuit court system and allow for the necessary mediators for access to the parties. We expect access to justice by promoting access to justice for all those involved in additional cases and final justice. Objective two would be improved efficiency, streamlining the current processes to increase the average number of cases resolved mediation using online dispute resolution platform. Number three will be stepping in on the axis tool to understand b invitation of courthouse to replicate in other areas of florida and other case types . Including access to justice. Thank you. >> thank you Mr. Chair r. >> thank you. Commissioner regalado? >> just really quickly to follow up . One of the things you been talking about is the lack of information we have about these tenants . We're talking about the funding later on all the funding we have received has income limitations and has been very difficult for us to determine how exactly folks have been impacted
