Mayor Carlos Gimenez commented on how the County addressed the aftermath of Hurricane Irma in 2017. He commended the work efforts of County employees who volunteered to ensure the community�s safety before and after the storm to restore services. He also commented on the impact Hurricane Florence had on residents in Carolina, and like others who came to assist Miami-Dade County, 80 members from Miami-Dade�s Fire Rescue Urban Search and Rescue Team were deployed to set-up emergency operations in Columbia South Carolina to help during and after the storm. Mayor Gimenez spoke highly of the two Task Forces stationed in Miami Dade County, which included these first responders who played a role in mitigating the damages. Mayor Gimenez provided a brief recap of the proposed budget that included: flat tax rates, no service reductions or layoffs were recommended, and no increase was recommended for the Solid Waste Residential Collection fees; however, a monthly dollar increase was recommended for the Storm Water Utility fees in order to fund drainage projects to mitigate sea level rise. He stated the Library hours were expanded and additional books and materials would be available, in addition to increased maintenance cycles on the right-of-ways, funding for animal services to enhance spay and neuter services, improved enforcement and expanded marketing efforts. Mayor Gimenez indicated an allocation of $230 million would continue for Affordable Housing and that new funding was available. He noted the Summer Intern and the Employ Miami-Dade Programs would be continued. New passenger train cars and buses would be purchased as well as the continued expansion of the Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) Program. Mayor Gimenez stated the Intelligent Traffic Signalization system was being implemented within three years in an effort to convert 3,000 traffic signals to provide relief of traffic congestion. He indicated $604 million of the operating budget was dedicated to resilience efforts, and $2.4 billion of capital projects were dedicated to community resiliency, three new fire units would be in service, and new recruit classes for the following: a minimum of five-for Police Officers, three � for Fire Department, and three � for Correctional Officers. Mayor Gimenez noted the proposed budget included approximately $19 million in funding for Youth Violence Intervention Programs, and added funding for the Fit to Learn and Fit to Play Programs in the Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department, which included funding as directed in the resolution adopted by this Board calling for specialized Youth Gun Violence programming. He indicated the budget would enhance activities of the Juvenile Services Department, noting successful intervention programs had led to a declining number of youth arrests and violent offenses. He commented on how youth became vulnerable during the summer because of limited supervision, and due to structured activities juvenile crimes in Miami Dade County had reduced by 50% in comparison to 2014. Mayor Gimenez stated for safety purposes, the fiscal year (FY) 2018/2019 County Budget included resources to partner with the Miami-Dade County School Board (MDCSB) assigning an officer to every public elementary school in the unincorporated municipal area in order to provide a safe environment for children. He also stated this required overtime for officers, as a short term solution that would be worked on by the MDCSB Superintendent and Legislature to identify a more sustainable solution for security in the schools. Mayor Gimenez noted besides public school staff there would be nine priority response teams would be deployed throughout the communities to protect residents during any public gatherings starting October 1, 2018, and these officers were specially trained to handle active shooters and other emergency situations. Mayor Gimenez stated the proposed budget included a three dollar monthly increase to the base retail water and waste water fee to support the infrastructure; however, he recommended moving forward with the waste water adjustment of $1.80 and foregoing the increase of the waste water fee. Mayor Gimenez pointed out that the majority of the Capital Improvement Programs (CIP) and the consent decree projects were related to waste water projects, which was significantly less than the anticipated six percent increase when the 2017 County Budget was adopted; however, with this adjustment an increased expenditure would be allowed for proactive system maintenance and issued debts as needed in the future. He also pointed out the following continued savings for tax payers: 12% tax cut implemented in 2011; controlled spending levels and necessary reserves upon a homestead exemption increase approved by voters in November there would not be lay-offs of employees or reduced services in the future. Mayor Gimenez noted between hearings the Administration was able to allocate resources to meet certain priorities identified by each commissioner. He indicated that discretionary funds for Community Based Organizations (CBOs) were increased, funding for added positions addressing resilience issues, and to wage step complaints were identified. Mayor Gimenez noted support funding was allocated for the Miami River Commission Scavenger Boat Service portion of the river located North West of 27th Avenue and for the Laurel Wilt eradication. He also noted added funds included: start-up funding for the Transit Alliance efforts; reserved funding for the Independent Community Panel; added resources for the Military Affairs Board once Legislation was adopted by the Board; allocated funds for the Miami Museum of Contemporary Art of the African Diaspora; and the Orange Bowl Semi-final game. This included continuation of the Film Industry Training Program at American Heritage Cultural Center that would expand to Mays Middle school. Mayor Gimenez recommended the remaining balance of future service reserves be set aside in order to address ongoing needs during the year, such as building security requirements or pending legislation that might have a fiscal impact which could not be absorbed by departmental resources. He pointed out that once he met with each District it was apparent how significant there were capital needs. Mayor Gimenez recommended addressing the District needs in the following three ways: -A new Quality Neighborhood Improvement Program (QNIP) series of $10 million to be issued, when combined with the interest earnings of previous QNIP series more than $12 million in funding was available for District infrastructure. -Directive for staff to initiate a way to address the conditions of local roads; Recommendation of $15 million per year dedicated to address the local road conditions throughout the UMSA area and for the Department of Public Works and Transportation staff to meet with each commissioner in order to prioritize projects. -Recommend unspent General Obligation Bond (GOB) funding be recaptured and develop a plan to provide funding to repair existing park facility locations of current programs. Mayor Gimenez commented on the challenge to develop this budget and prioritize allocations with limited resources in order to provide important government services. He opined these budget adjustments would address the communities� needs in the best way possible at this time. Mayor Gimenez expressed his appreciation to the Miami-Dade County staff�s diligent work efforts to develop this budget and for the commissioner�s dedication to the 2.7 million constituents.

Mr. Rodney Murray noted he was a resident of Liberty City in Miami; he spoke regarding homelessness in Liberty City and the concern of police who patrol the neighborhood requesting homeless people to leave when they have nowhere to go. Mr. Murray noted his dismay regarding $23 million funds toward contruction of a spaying and neutering clinic in Liberty City, he stated these funds could be used to assist the homeless. Commissioner Sosa clarified that the issues that Mr. Murray spoke of were related to the City of Miami, rather than Miami-Dade County. Kenneth Kilpatrick 5167 NW 29th Avenue, Miami, Florida President, Brownsville Civic Neighborhood Association expressed the priority concerns of the Brownsville community, noting the need to hear from the developers regarding the plans in moving forward with the Lincoln Garden redevelopment project. He requested that the Lincoln Gardens redevelopment plan be separated from the Liberty Square Rising project, and to rebuild it as a part of the comprehensive redevelopment of Annie Coleman Public Housing in Brownsville. Mr. Kilpatrick noted the community�s concern regarding the status of the Brownsville Street Lighting Improvement District, which was a 55 year long taxation for Brownsville residents. He commented on the outage of streetlights and the existence of old wooden light poles throughout the area. Mr. Kilpatrick requested a report with full disclosure of the districts� revenue and disbursements, full restoration of the Brownsville Street Lighting District, and to fully fund the Independent Community Panel (ICP). Florida House Representative James Bush III, District 109 requested to put the following comments on the record: the Brownsville Improvement District has been grossly ignored for decades. The original documentation from 1963 states that 1,186 lights were supposed to be installed within the district; however, currently approximately 800 lights were installed with several that were no longer functioning. The citizens demand a full accounting of District 109 revenue and disbursement, along with full restoration of streetlights in the Brownsville Street Lighting District. The Brownsville taxpayers also request a full inquiry into neighboring lighting districts throughout the black communities namely those active Lighting Districts located in Liberty City, which was within District 109. The community has worked for two years to try and produce an open and fair process regarding the Lincoln Gardens project in Brownsville. Following a meeting with Public Housing and Community Development (PHCD) and the developer, it was determine that the process was disingenuous and insulting and the request was for the Board bifurcate the Lincoln Gardens project and Liberty Square Rising, followed by a rebid in conjunction with a comprehensive redevelopment of Annie Coleman Public Housing in Brownsville. In 2016 the community asked for computer stations for the children at Marva Bannerman and Jefferson Reeves Park, and the County responded in writing that capital improvement would be necessary in order to enact the installation of the computer stations. This is a request for adequate funding for this project. Finally, the community was in support of the Independent Community Panel (ICP), and full funding to ensure that the public�s trust be maintained and nurtured. Commissioner Edmonson clarified that most of the requests made by the Brownsville Civic Neighborhood Association was not regarding the budget.

Commissioner Sosa expressed appreciation to Commissioner Moss for allowing committee members to present most of their inquiries regarding the budget during a committee meeting. She noted this was the first year that the concerns or complaints about the budget expressed by the public had decreased, which meant the County worked well to respond to the needs of the community. Commissioner Sosa commented on the importance of early voting polls at Miami-Dade College in addition to Florida International University (FIU), noting the convenience for college students and accessible to the elderly as well. She requested the elections director to provide her with a map outlining early voting sites in each district, which primarily needed to be accessible to people with disabilities as well.

Mayor Gimenez noted six early voting sites were added throughout the County, which resulted in a total of 26 early voting sites. He pointed out additional sites were opened because a higher turn-out of voters was anticipated. Commissioner Levine Cava requested to sponsor a resolution to place early voting site at Miami Dade College North Campus. She commented on animal services, noting she would closely monitor the �State-of-the-Art� way of dealing with stray animals. Commissioner Levine Cava mentioned the receipt of the updated no kill policy and requested more detailed information as well as specific goals for the spay and neuter process. Commissioner Levine Cava emphasized her major concern was transportation because she received daily complaints regarding issues with transit that jeopardized people�s jobs and impacted their quality of life, rather than just an inconvenience. She urged the Board to invest in Miami Dade County Transit System. Mayor Gimenez said Legislation was forthcoming that would add more bus routes in the County Districts. Commissioner Diaz expressed appreciation to Mayor Gimenez for an outstanding budget. Commissioner Jordan expressed appreciation to Mayor Gimenez and Ms. Moon for increasing the Commissioner�s discretionary funds to $200,000. She recommended the allocation of $250,000 go towards Transit maintenance, rather than the Transit Alliance for a study. Responding to Commissioner Jordan�s recommendation, Mayor Gimenez noted the $250,000 was start-up investment to leverage the claim of being a million dollars, and before the initiation to launch the work product needed to come back to the Commission because to conduct another study that could be rejected by the Commission would be worthless; however, the Transit Alliance committed to raise the $750,000 and once this study was completed it had to be approved by the Board and presented. He noted upon nonsuccess of the study, the funds could be reallocated to Transit maintenance. In response to Commissioner Jordan� question regarding whether the added bus routes in South Dade would be public or privatized, Mayor Gimenez noted the routes would be a combination of private and privatized bus routes. Commissioner Jordan expressed her concern that the steps to combine the public and privatized bus routes were depleting Miami Dade Public Transportation system, in terms of growth and development. Director Alice Bravo, Transportation and Public Works noted transportation service was being restored in the vicinity of route 35 in the South Dade area because the service was reduced due to budgetary issues. She said the restored bus routes would be contracted out; however, the drivers would not be impacted in addition to one bus route being handled by County drivers. Commissioner Jordan spoke in support of assigning police officers to the schools; however, she requested clarification on the work plan on how the nine roving response teams would be utilized because she did not want them just riding around. Mayor Gimenez explained the nine response teams would respond to emergencies and active shooters rapidly. He noted he did not want these officers to follow the routine police work although they would be in the neighborhood; however, their focus was to respond rapidly to any active shooting emergency situations in Miami Dade County in addition to schools to mitigate loss as much as possible. Officer Freddy Ramirez, Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) noted the roving response teams were designed for active shooters and would provide an additional security for the communities. Officer Ramirez explained these units would be responding to some ShotSpotter calls, violent shooting scenes, and be strategically deployed. Commissioner Jordan noted that the ShotSpotter system had been in operation for over a year. She requested to meet with the MDPD Director regarding the ShotSpotter technology and would like any information regarding whether any arrests or crimes had been solved using this technology, this would allow the department to pinpoint any deficiencies in an effort to improve the system. Commissioner Jordan explained that ShotSpotter was able to locate the exact place a shot was fired from, however by the time the officer arrived the shooter had fled the scene. She stated the SpotShotter system needed to be linked to video cameras. Mayor Gimenez indicated it was vitally important to link video cameras to ShotSpotter system to see the perpetrators as well as the crime scene getaway car. Commissioner Jordan noted she would like to sponsor Legislation to link the ShotSpotter system with video cameras. Commissioner Jordan noted she was in full agreement with the early voting sites for students, and was happy that FIU was added; however, more sites were needed. She pointed out that Miami-Dade College had more students than FIU and a voting site needed to be placed in the North Campus as well as the South Campus. Commissioner Monestime expressed his concerns regarding the proposed budget, asking whether there would be any additional support for Code Compliance and maintenance cycle for right-of-ways. In response to the comments of concern made by Commissioner Monestime, Mayor Gimenez explained funds were increased for the maintenance cycle for right-of-ways; however, the budget included funding for additional personnel and a reorganization to improve code compliance for Code Enforcement Commissioner Monestime expressed concern regarding the homelessness issue in Miami-Dade County. He commended the Homeless Trust on the work efforts over the years; however, the problem has increased greatly within the community. Mayor Gimenez requested areas that were discovered to have a large amount of homelessness should be reported to the Homeless Trust in order to provide assistance to those individuals in need. He also noted that he would direct the Miami Dade Police Department (MDPD) instruct officers to report any common areas for the homeless in an effort to provide assistance. In response to Commissioner Monestime�s question regarding the burden of adding an early voting site, Mayor Gimenez explained adding early voting sites would not be an issue; however, the sites needed to benefit all early voters and equally accessible. He noted he preferred the Supervisor of Elections decided on the locations of the added early voting sites. Commissioner Higgins expressed appreciation for funding to place officers at every school was identified and funds for the ICP were available once legislation was approved by the Commission. She noted the need for the Affordable Housing Fund to have a dedicated funding source. Commissioner Higgins spoke in favor of adding an early voting site at the Miami-Dade College North Campus. Commissioner Souto thanked the Mayor for answering all of his questions, but expressed his concern regarding the Unincorporated Municipal Service Area (UMSA), because of the transportation issues in District 10, which was 100% unincorporated. He noted the need for funding trolley circulators as well as the need to update the bulky waste system in the UMSA area, which illegal dumping was an issue and additional security cameras were needed for surveillance purposes. Commissioner Souto also noted affordable housing was an issue, and he looked forward to working with the Mayor to address these issues. He spoke highly of Miami-Dade County Parks, noting video cameras were needed for security purposes. Commissioner Heyman spoke in support of the early voting sites at Miami-Dade College, preferably at the largest community college campus that had free parking, and allowed non-students to use the polls. She expressed concern regarding the County Court House paper filing system and the need for funding to bring the court system up to date with paperless technology as well as the operation of the existing system. Ms. Moon explained the conversion to paperless technology would be a costly project and the County had a debt issue with a five year forecast on the necessities to fulfill that payment with identified funds. She noted the projected budget was to have the existing system operating and to purchase a new system simultaneously. Ms. Moon also noted dual systems would be in place until the ongoing contract negotiations were completed. Commissioner Heyman expressed concern regarding people being arrested for misdemeanors who could possibly be deported; however, she spoke in favor of issues that were addressed that resulted in cost savings while working on saving people by refocusing on gun violence and crime prevention as well as mental health prevention.. Commissioner Martinez expressed his concern about the fairness of placing early voting sites in other areas as well once the added voting sites was opened in one area. He inquired about the cost for additional early voting sites and how would it impact the County budget. Mayor Gimenez explained early voting sites cost approximately $130,000 - $170,000 to operate, and a 12 hour operation held for two weeks. Commissioner Martinez suggested opening an early voting site on Miami Beach. Ms. Christina White, Supervisor of Elections, Elections Department pointed out there were two early voting sites were located in Miami Beach. She explained the process of election planning started well in advance that was prepared for 25 early voting sites since March 2018. Ms. White spoke about the 2013 model used for the election planning after the 2012 election, which included: 20 early voting sites for the primary; 25 for gubernatorial; and 30 for presidential election. She also noted that once the election plan was presented a Board made recommendations regarding the best way to determine a projected size of election that was based on the type of election at hand, which was the process she followed for this election. Ms. White estimated each site would cost approximately $130,000 - $150,000. She noted she would not recommend opening additional early voting sites because of the need to pull equipment and staff from existing sites, which she opined not to be the best plan. Mayor Gimenez explained that after the debacle of the 2012 Election the process as mentioned by Ms. White and this was set in place with a bilateral committee, which he was hesitant to alter it because of the existing set up. He noted the challenge for the supervisor of elections once the Commission decided to increase the number of early voting sites, which was based on accessibility to every voter; however it could be executed. Mayor Gimenez reminded the Board that the supervisor of elections would have to conduct site analysis. He noted an increase of early voting sites should be done in a professional manner and be beneficial to the majority of voters in this County. Ms. White noted she had to prepare for early voters to show up; therefore, she needed ballots on demand and equipment readily available; however, once early voting sites were added the equipment would be needed for those new sites. Commissioner Martinez noted his support concerning the ShotSpotter technology that had gained traction and being used. Responding to Commissioner Martinez� inquiry about funding for Camp Matacumbe for children with special needs, Ms. Moon said the funding would be part of the revised capital plan by the Parks department that would meet with each Commissioner regarding the individual District�s needs. Commissioner Martinez asked about the Customs and Boarder Protection (CBP) pilot program, noting he would not request funding from the County budget but would work on this at a later date. He expressed his concern regarding a low number of police officers in Miami Dade County, which had decreased from 18 years ago. Commissioner Martinez said although the Rapid Response Team initiative had good intentions, the County already had a Special Reaction Team (SRT) that could respond to the same type of calls. He asked how the Rapid Response Team officers that covered two shifts would be set up in order to make respond to calls through the congested traffic that was an ongoing problem in Miami-Dade County. Officer Ramirez explained the Officers would be decentralized within each team to specific Districts, similar to a Crime Prevention Unit (CPU) or a Neighborhood Resource Unit (NRU) dressed in green and white and reporting to the district major. He explained there would be eight men assigned to a day-shift squad for the schools and two for the afternoon, which would be regional and patrolling in teams. In response to Commissioner Martinez� inquiry of how many SRT�s were in the County, Officer Ramirez noted MDPD had four SRT teams with 5 police officers per unit. Mayor Gimenez noted the need for rapid response teams because it was determined the process to mobilize SRT was time consuming whereas a Rapid Response Team was prepared to respond in less time. Commissioner Martinez noted his concern was to ensure staffing SRT�s and Rapid Response Teams since the current number of Police Officers was a low count. Mayor Gimenez noted that either the County would fund for the Rapid Response Teams or the School Board would eventually provide funds to protect the schools. He explained the purpose of the Rapid Response Teams were to protect the 2.7 million people of Miami-Dade County from active shooter situations. Commissioner Martinez expressed appreciation for the increased allocations of $148,000 to each Commissioner�s office budget. In response to Commissioner Martinez� question regarding whether the Mayor�s budget had increased, Ms. Moon noted the increase of the Mayor�s budget associated with the increased cost of insurance and the County employee Florida Retirement System (FRS) benefits, which included the Mayor�s salary. Commissioner Moss spoke favorably of presented County Budget, and thanked the Mayor and Ms. Moon�s staff. He noted he was inclined to support one additional early voting site, but not numerous sites. Commissioner Moss suggested taking an analysis of the colleges to mobilize a segment of the community to involve students in the process, as a way to encourage more voting in the community. Commissioner Edmonson voiced her support of the proposed County budget; however, after hearing the college student�s remarks she would like to see at least one additional early voting site on the north side of the County. She also voiced her support of the Independent Community Panel (ICP). She asked the Director of Parks Recreation and Open Spaces (PROS) whether the issues concerning the air conditioning system at Marva Y. Bannerman and Jefferson Reeves Park had been resolved. Maria Nardi, Director, (PROS) explained the air conditioning (A/C) units were replaced at Jefferson Reeves and Marva Y. Bannerman Parks in March 2017, but she would have staff investigate the issues with the A/C to ensure the problem would be corrected. She pointed out that Wi-Fi had been installed at Jefferson Reeves and Marva Y. Bannerman Parks as well as computer infrastructure. Ms. Nardi said there was available space at Marva Y. Bannerman Park for computer equipment, which was not installed because of lack of funding; however, televisions, projector screens, microphones and speakers were installed at both parks as well. In response to Commissioner Edmonson�s inquiry regarding funds for computers, and the installation of the computers at Marva Y. Bannerman Park Ms. Nardi noted the infrastructure was adequate, but the funding for the computers used for the infrastructure for the computer location; therefore, additional funding was needed to purchase the computers. Commissioner Edmonson noted the funding for the computers at Marva Y. Bannerman Park needed to be included in the 2018-2019 County Budget. She noted she would make an amendment regarding this matter. Commissioner Edmonson inquired about the special taxing districts, noting the Brownsville Improvement District Brownsville was being taxed for 1,186 street lights, however only 850 street lights were in this district. Ms. Christina Cotto, Assistant Director for Administration of Taxing Districts, Parks Recreation and Open Spaces explained the records for the street lights reflected there were 1,186 street lights in the district. Commissioner Edmonson asked Ms. Cotto to meet with the representatives of the Brownsville Improvement District and have staff to count the street lights for an accurate number. Chairman Bovo expressed concern regarding comments about suppression of votes and asked for clarification of the mission of the Elections Department. Ms. White, Supervisor of Elections noted the Department�s mission was to provide fair, accurate and secure elections for all voters of Miami-Dade County. Discussion ensued between Chairman Bovo and Ms. White regarding early voting sites at colleges, equal access to the sites and how the site locations were chosen. Chairman Bovo expressed concern about non-students or non-employees of the schools not having access to the early voting sites. Chairman Bovo asked Ms. White to provide a report detailing the number of people who used the early voting polls at FIU. Chairman Bovo reiterated his concerns regarding access to the college campus and opined parking might be challenge as well. Chairman Bovo asked the Supervisor of Elections to send each commissioner sample ballots to host a town hall meeting to review the ballots, especially the technical questions that needed explanations. He said he would host the Town Hall meeting. Chairman Bovo spoke against the narrative of �voter suppression� noting that was not a valid term in this County because this Board and Administration had worked diligently to make voting accessible to everyone and to eliminate fraud. Commissioner Sosa commented on voter suppression, noting a motion that at the discretion of the Administration a study be conducted to determine whether an additional early voting poll site was needed without using General Funds. Mayor Gimenez noted he was not in favor of Commissioner Sosa�s suggestion. Commissioner Sosa opined there was no need to allocate additional funds to open more early voting sites when this County had the highest percentage of voters. She noted District 6 had two early voting sites with the option of going to on the actual voting day. Commissioner Sosa said her preference was that the budget be approved to assist the needs of this community and take preventative measures of closing senior citizen centers, such as Palermo Lakes in the City of Miami, rather than using funds to open more early voting sites. It was moved by Commissioner Sosa that at the discretion of the the Administration�s analysis and based on the last election�s percentage of voters including the ability to serve students as well as non-students with accessibility and sufficient parking for the community that any recommendations be brought back to the Board for approval. This motion was seconded by Chairman Bovo. With regards to comments made by Commissioner Sosa about senior citizen centers, Commissioner Jordan noted that she did not see anything in the budget concerning County operated senior citizen centers closing. She inquired whether any senior citizen centers operated by the county were closing and noted she was not referring to those centers receiving indirect funding from the county. Responding to Commissioner Jordan�s inquiry regarding the closing of any County operated senior citizen centers, Ms. Moon noted there was no record of a County operated senior citizen center that closed. Commissioner Jordan pointed out that Senior Centers, Childcare Centers and Youth Programs received funding from other sources and the possibility that some funds were cut, which she presumed was the subject referenced in this matter. Commissioner Jordan questioned whether the motion made by Commissioner Sosa was based on the premise of senior citizen�s centers closing. Commission Sosa noted she explained her concern regarding the closing of Palermo Lakes Senior Center and the motion on the table was to allow the Administration to conduct an analysis as to whether an additional early voting site was needed, and once the location of the needed site was determined the Administration would come back to present it to the Board. She clarified that her motion was not related to funding for the senior centers. Commissioner Sosa pointed out the focus should be on where the sites were needed, rather than opening five early voting sites. Commissioner Jordan noted she was not in favor of the motion made by Commissioner Sosa because some college students have to go to work following classes, and an early voting site would be convenient; therefore, the focus was not just to open another site. She noted the Supervisor of Elections requested a site to be placed at the Betty T. Ferguson Center, Miami Gardens, which was not available due to renovations and flooding problems. Commissioner Jordan explained she opposed the motion on the table was because Miami-Dade College North Campus was already identified to become an early voting site. She said she was in favor of placing an early voting site where it would be accessible to voters in the community as well. Commissioner Sosa clarified her motion did not recommend a particular site, but was a request for an analysis to identify the best location for an additional early voting site as needed. Commissioner Martinez suggested the subject on the early voting site be place on the next Board of County Commission meeting because it was not a budget issue. Commissioner Sosa withdrew her motion. Monestime pointed out that the population of Miami Dade College (MDC) was very diverse, which did not cater to a particular ethnic group. Mayor Gimenez noted the Administration was concerned with equal accessibility for all voters at voting sites, and targeted areas were based on certain demographics making it convenient as possible for everyone with all fairness, which was why a Task Force was created in an attempt to be a guide on how to conduct elections. It was moved by Commissioner Levine Cava to direct the Mayor to add an additional early voting site for the 2018 General Election at the Miami-Dade College North Campus in accordance with Florida Statute Section 101.657 and to be funded if necessary from the Future Services Fund. There being no second to the motion, a discussion followed. Mayor Gimenez questioned the motion made by Commissioner Levine Cava since it favored one campus over the other. He spoke about how students faced the same hardships at the North Campus as students at the South Campus and placing an early voting site at one site would create an issue of fairness. Commissioner Levine Cava noted that she would have no objection to changing her motion to include an additional early voting site at the Miami Dade College South Campus as well. Responding to Chairman Bovo�s comments regarding the discussion not being related to the County Budget, Commissioner Levine Cava stated the discussion was appropriate because it was time sensitive and the Elections Department had to prepare. Commissioner Sosa expressed her concern about the motion she made earlier and the concerns of her colleagues, which she respectfully withdrew her motion because of the time needed to discuss the budget. She also expressed concern about this motion that was not related to the budget but selected a specific place for the early voting site. She also noted she would not be in support the foregoing motion for those reasons. In response to Commissioner Diaz� inquiry regarding the number of mail in ballots discarded due to signature change and other issues, Ms. White noted currently, she did not have that information. Commissioner Diaz pointed out that handicapped or elderly voters were mostly impacted because they could not make it to the polls. Ms. White noted how to provide ballots to hospitals or nursing homes had not been determined; however, upon receiving a request from a facility, representatives from Elections could visit nursing homes and assisted living facilities to provide a supervised voting process, which had been offered for every election. Ms. White explained the process would require that each person in the hospital to utilize the traditional vote- by-mail option that would provide a mail in ballot to be completed and mailed back. Chairman Bovo recalled the mission of the Elections Department stated by Ms. White that was to ensure voters had access to the polls and he wanted to ensure the Miami Dade College North Campus lwas accessible to everyone. It was moved by Commissioner Levine Cava to direct the Mayor to add an early voting site for the 2018 General Election at the Miami-Dade College�s North Campus in accordance with Florida Statute Section 101.657 and to be funded if necessary from the Future Services Fund. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Suarez and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 12-1 (Commissioner Martinez voted No). Mayor Gimenez noted his intent, review and to place an early voting site at Miami-Dade College South Campus as well.
