1
00:02:07,110 --> 00:02:08,120
really

2
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,120
>>.

3
00:02:11,949 --> 00:02:14,949
>> you have the addition above

4
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:19,230
item at 2b, has a scriveners

5
00:02:19,230 --> 00:02:20,958
error and in addition there is

6
00:02:20,958 --> 00:02:23,358
an amendment the administration

7
00:02:24,861 --> 00:02:25,996
needs to make to item 3a.

8
00:02:25,996 --> 00:02:28,996
The second bullet and the

9
00:02:30,168 --> 00:02:33,168
mayor's memo on mdc 002 should

10
00:02:35,806 --> 00:02:37,742
be deleted in its entirety.

11
00:02:37,742 --> 00:02:41,342
>>chair: all right, so do we

12
00:02:51,523 --> 00:02:53,525
have someone moving the rest?

13
00:02:53,525 --> 00:02:54,592
>>commissioner regalado: MADAME

14
00:02:54,592 --> 00:02:56,528
Chair, I am pulling 3a.

15
00:02:56,528 --> 00:02:58,163
>>chair: anyone else.

16
00:02:58,163 --> 00:02:58,797
>>commissioner bermudez: I want

17
00:02:58,797 --> 00:03:00,665
to speak on 3a also.

18
00:03:00,665 --> 00:03:03,769
>>chair: do I have a motion.

19
00:03:03,769 --> 00:03:04,903
>> second.

20
00:03:04,903 --> 00:03:06,905
>>chair: all in favor.

21
00:03:06,905 --> 00:03:08,905
MR. Attorney.

22
00:03:10,276 --> 00:03:13,276
>> MADAME Chair you're going to

23
00:03:15,347 --> 00:03:17,183
have a motion to approve the

24
00:03:17,183 --> 00:03:19,752
remainder of that agenda other

25
00:03:19,752 --> 00:03:20,886
than item 3a.

26
00:03:20,886 --> 00:03:22,855
>>commissioner mcghee: I

27
00:03:22,855 --> 00:03:27,550
thought we just did that but we

28
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:32,565
will do it again.

29
00:03:32,565 --> 00:03:33,966
, motion to move the remainder

30
00:03:33,966 --> 00:03:35,134
of the agenda.

31
00:03:35,134 --> 00:03:36,169
>>chair: all in favor.

32
00:03:36,169 --> 00:03:38,905
So now we take 3a.

33
00:03:38,905 --> 00:03:39,873
Let's start with commissioner

34
00:03:39,873 --> 00:03:41,873
regalado.

35
00:03:41,908 --> 00:03:42,608
>>commissioner regalado: thank

36
00:03:42,608 --> 00:03:44,608
you.

37
00:03:46,613 --> 00:03:49,613
So I'm concerned about the

38
00:03:56,590 --> 00:03:57,791
items specifically since the

39
00:03:57,791 --> 00:03:59,593
city of hialeah has plans for

40
00:03:59,593 --> 00:04:01,695
the highline they've been

41
00:04:01,695 --> 00:04:03,630
working on this for some time.

42
00:04:03,630 --> 00:04:04,798
I know every time we have an

43
00:04:04,798 --> 00:04:06,700
opportunity to do affordable

44
00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:10,300
housing we should take it but

45
00:04:20,481 --> 00:04:22,583
in this case it's going to

46
00:04:22,583 --> 00:04:23,583
impact a plan they've been

47
00:04:23,583 --> 00:04:25,519
working on for some time.

48
00:04:25,519 --> 00:04:27,489
I wanted to hear from the

49
00:04:27,489 --> 00:04:28,689
administration as to their

50
00:04:28,689 --> 00:04:30,591
communications with the city of

51
00:04:30,591 --> 00:04:32,493
hialeah and their plans for the

52
00:04:32,493 --> 00:04:33,561
highline because this breaks

53
00:04:33,561 --> 00:04:35,529
up, yes.

54
00:04:35,529 --> 00:04:36,564
>>chair: anyone from the

55
00:04:36,564 --> 00:04:38,500
administration?

56
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:40,535
Director, you are recognized.

57
00:04:40,535 --> 00:04:41,803
>> stacy miller, ceo of the

58
00:04:41,803 --> 00:04:43,738
department of transportation

59
00:04:43,738 --> 00:04:44,572
and public works through the

60
00:04:44,572 --> 00:04:46,475
chair.

61
00:04:46,475 --> 00:04:48,543
There are provisions in the

62
00:04:48,543 --> 00:04:50,943
ground lease and development

63
00:04:51,546 --> 00:04:52,781
agreement that protect the

64
00:04:52,781 --> 00:04:55,181
highline from any interference

65
00:04:55,750 --> 00:04:57,219
with the project so it requires

66
00:04:57,219 --> 00:04:58,954
collaboration and assurance

67
00:04:58,954 --> 00:05:01,954
that the highline is available

68
00:05:09,310 --> 00:05:10,299
through the parcel.

69
00:05:10,299 --> 00:05:12,670
>>commissioner regalado: will

70
00:05:12,670 --> 00:05:13,302
is in part help fund the

71
00:05:13,302 --> 00:05:15,360
highline so for those of us

72
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,305
that do development for the

73
00:05:16,305 --> 00:05:19,905
underlined part of what we do

74
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,113
is use those impact fees.

75
00:05:24,113 --> 00:05:25,380
We've used those impact fees to

76
00:05:25,380 --> 00:05:27,250
build the underlined.

77
00:05:27,250 --> 00:05:29,850
Has there been a conversation

78
00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:31,540
with a developer about their

79
00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:32,255
sensual contribution to the

80
00:05:32,255 --> 00:05:34,230
highline because they're going

81
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:36,423
to benefit from it.

82
00:05:36,593 --> 00:05:38,695
>> I'm not cognizant of whether

83
00:05:38,695 --> 00:05:40,563
we've had that conversation yet

84
00:05:40,563 --> 00:05:42,398
as this is an active in force,

85
00:05:42,398 --> 00:05:44,400
that will be part of the

86
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,800
development agreement when we

87
00:05:50,607 --> 00:05:51,908
finalize our negotiations.

88
00:05:51,908 --> 00:05:53,776
>>commissioner regalado: this

89
00:05:53,776 --> 00:05:55,678
is unsolicited comment will

90
00:05:55,678 --> 00:05:56,914
this be a unsolicited that is

91
00:05:56,914 --> 00:05:58,716
open for an rfp like the state

92
00:05:58,716 --> 00:05:59,160
one or is straight up

93
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,684
unsolicited?

94
00:06:00,684 --> 00:06:01,818
>> this is a straight

95
00:06:01,818 --> 00:06:03,753
unsolicited as the state law

96
00:06:03,753 --> 00:06:05,689
allows for this to move forward

97
00:06:05,689 --> 00:06:05,922
because it is associated with

98
00:06:05,922 --> 00:06:07,658
housing.

99
00:06:07,658 --> 00:06:08,659
>> and this is for nathan,

100
00:06:08,659 --> 00:06:10,627
where's nathan.

101
00:06:10,627 --> 00:06:12,627
who's here representing

102
00:06:13,797 --> 00:06:15,532
housing?

103
00:06:15,532 --> 00:06:17,502
How are you.

104
00:06:17,502 --> 00:06:19,902
>>commissioner bastien: you are

105
00:06:21,238 --> 00:06:23,207
recognized sir.

106
00:06:23,207 --> 00:06:24,408
>>commissioner regalado: we

107
00:06:24,408 --> 00:06:27,408
recently received a letter from

108
00:06:32,683 --> 00:06:34,685
hud about unsoliciteds and we

109
00:06:34,685 --> 00:06:37,850
might consider moving forward

110
00:06:44,462 --> 00:06:46,231
instead of doing a unsolicited

111
00:06:46,231 --> 00:06:47,366
that closes the door on

112
00:06:47,366 --> 00:06:49,234
everyone when there is hud

113
00:06:49,234 --> 00:06:51,634
financing involved we would

114
00:06:52,103 --> 00:06:54,105
open up a rfp period so it

115
00:06:54,105 --> 00:06:55,600
could be competitive under the

116
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,600
hud rules.

117
00:07:01,460 --> 00:07:02,280
I understand that before we

118
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,490
had, hud had not sent us this

119
00:07:04,490 --> 00:07:05,250
letter but now that hud has

120
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:07,152
sent us this letter are we

121
00:07:07,152 --> 00:07:08,854
going to do something or are we

122
00:07:08,854 --> 00:07:10,789
going to continue with the

123
00:07:10,789 --> 00:07:12,357
prior practice post hud letter?

124
00:07:12,357 --> 00:07:15,357
>> thank you for that question.

125
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,369
What we've learned from hud and

126
00:07:23,369 --> 00:07:25,337
I believe we've had two

127
00:07:25,337 --> 00:07:25,604
conversations is it depends on

128
00:07:25,604 --> 00:07:27,473
the route.

129
00:07:27,473 --> 00:07:29,308
For example if it's a typical

130
00:07:29,308 --> 00:07:30,576
public housing site where

131
00:07:30,576 --> 00:07:32,244
you're trying to do development

132
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:34,146
using housing funds then hud is

133
00:07:34,146 --> 00:07:38,346
saying clearly it needs to be a

134
00:07:41,554 --> 00:07:42,855
competitive solicitation if

135
00:07:42,855 --> 00:07:44,757
it's a typical ragged deal we

136
00:07:44,757 --> 00:07:45,758
are believing hud is saying you

137
00:07:45,758 --> 00:07:48,158
do not have to.

138
00:07:55,401 --> 00:07:56,837
You can negotiate that lease.

139
00:07:56,837 --> 00:07:58,505
>>commissioner regalado: so

140
00:07:58,505 --> 00:08:00,407
this is a property that is

141
00:08:00,407 --> 00:08:01,508
owned by dpw so I will ask the

142
00:08:01,508 --> 00:08:03,410
question again for this

143
00:08:03,410 --> 00:08:04,678
property what is our stance on

144
00:08:04,678 --> 00:08:06,647
you know, using this vehicle,

145
00:08:06,647 --> 00:08:10,247
with that limit the ability to

146
00:08:11,451 --> 00:08:13,320
get hud housing.

147
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,489
>> this is not a rad deal,

148
00:08:14,489 --> 00:08:16,424
there's no hud deal so there

149
00:08:16,424 --> 00:08:19,424
are no implications in this

150
00:08:22,596 --> 00:08:24,565
transaction, none whatsoever

151
00:08:24,565 --> 00:08:25,732
yes and no, because the

152
00:08:25,732 --> 00:08:27,635
developer is saying they are

153
00:08:27,635 --> 00:08:30,104
going to do affordable units so

154
00:08:30,104 --> 00:08:32,173
they will get affordable money.

155
00:08:32,173 --> 00:08:33,974
>> they are using this statute

156
00:08:33,974 --> 00:08:35,109
which allows them to do

157
00:08:35,109 --> 00:08:37,509
affordable housing, it has

158
00:08:38,380 --> 00:08:40,381
nothing to do with hud.

159
00:08:40,381 --> 00:08:42,417
>> will they be prohibited from

160
00:08:42,417 --> 00:08:44,452
coming back and asking us?

161
00:08:44,452 --> 00:08:48,520
We all know how this works.

162
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:03,370
Are we missing something here?

163
00:09:03,370 --> 00:09:04,105
>> I am a little uncomfortable

164
00:09:04,105 --> 00:09:06,700
speaking on that there

165
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:07,242
transaction I had a part in but

166
00:09:07,242 --> 00:09:09,111
if they were to seek a surtax

167
00:09:09,111 --> 00:09:11,980
which is not hud funding they

168
00:09:11,980 --> 00:09:14,150
would be eligible for a surtax.

169
00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:15,183
>>commissioner regalado: just

170
00:09:15,183 --> 00:09:17,988
wanted to get that on the

171
00:09:17,988 --> 00:09:18,621
record because we know how it

172
00:09:18,621 --> 00:09:20,890
goes, we started one department

173
00:09:20,890 --> 00:09:22,240
and then they call, so we're

174
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,158
all clear everybody knows how

175
00:09:23,158 --> 00:09:24,993
the game goes so we are all on

176
00:09:24,993 --> 00:09:26,329
the same page as to that is

177
00:09:26,329 --> 00:09:28,300
your opinion that this would

178
00:09:28,300 --> 00:09:29,165
not, the fact it is not

179
00:09:29,165 --> 00:09:30,966
competitively bid would not

180
00:09:30,966 --> 00:09:32,968
prevent them from receiving

181
00:09:32,968 --> 00:09:33,235
surtax funding, that's your

182
00:09:33,235 --> 00:09:34,200
position.

183
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,204
Okay.

184
00:09:35,204 --> 00:09:37,774
And then let me know about

185
00:09:37,774 --> 00:09:39,800
hialeah and contribute into the

186
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:40,443
highline because I think.

187
00:09:40,443 --> 00:09:42,111
>> my team has informed me

188
00:09:42,111 --> 00:09:44,130
there is no contribution to the

189
00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:45,981
highline in the current

190
00:09:45,981 --> 00:09:47,981
development agreement.

191
00:09:47,984 --> 00:09:48,985
>>commissioner regalado: that's

192
00:09:48,985 --> 00:09:50,985
problematic.

193
00:09:56,250 --> 00:09:57,861
>>chair: commissioner bermudez

194
00:09:57,861 --> 00:09:59,830
you are recognized.

195
00:09:59,830 --> 00:10:01,830
>>commissioner bermudez: I'm

196
00:10:01,865 --> 00:10:03,900
coming at it from the same

197
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:05,869
perspective but a little bit

198
00:10:05,869 --> 00:10:08,869
different, the mayor of hialeah

199
00:10:10,641 --> 00:10:12,900
has indicated to me.

200
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:12,175
>>chair: can you get to the

201
00:10:12,175 --> 00:10:13,810
mic?

202
00:10:13,810 --> 00:10:15,678
>>commissioner bermudez: I

203
00:10:15,678 --> 00:10:17,548
spoke to the mayor of hialeah

204
00:10:17,548 --> 00:10:18,749
which is one of the cities I

205
00:10:18,749 --> 00:10:20,684
represent and he is not aware,

206
00:10:20,684 --> 00:10:21,785
nobody spoke to him from the

207
00:10:21,785 --> 00:10:23,687
county on this issue and I

208
00:10:23,687 --> 00:10:26,687
think the proper policy should

209
00:10:27,425 --> 00:10:28,726
be for the administration or

210
00:10:28,726 --> 00:10:31,126
whoever is there representative

211
00:10:31,395 --> 00:10:31,729
to talk to the mayor of that

212
00:10:31,729 --> 00:10:33,564
municipality.

213
00:10:33,564 --> 00:10:35,365
This MAY have started with a

214
00:10:35,365 --> 00:10:36,567
prior mayor was honest dais but

215
00:10:36,567 --> 00:10:38,403
at that point there is a new

216
00:10:38,403 --> 00:10:39,570
mayor and he correctly or he

217
00:10:39,570 --> 00:10:41,472
indicated to me and I agree

218
00:10:41,472 --> 00:10:41,639
that the courtesy should be too

219
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:43,441
him.

220
00:10:43,441 --> 00:10:45,750
This is something that does

221
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:46,945
impact the highline.

222
00:10:46,945 --> 00:10:48,913
That for hialeah MAY be

223
00:10:48,913 --> 00:10:49,214
something that would be

224
00:10:49,214 --> 00:10:51,149
beneficial.

225
00:10:51,149 --> 00:10:53,170
I don't have enough clarity on

226
00:10:53,170 --> 00:10:54,285
it in the sense of, and I know

227
00:10:54,285 --> 00:10:55,953
this has been sitting around

228
00:10:55,953 --> 00:10:56,880
for a while apparently.

229
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:57,880
Nless

230
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,880
I'm mistaken.

231
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:03,610
But I can't in good conscience

232
00:11:03,610 --> 00:11:06,610
unless somebody sits down and

233
00:11:21,460 --> 00:11:22,280
tells the mayor of that

234
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,149
municipality, at least talk to

235
00:11:24,149 --> 00:11:24,349
them and at least reach out to

236
00:11:24,349 --> 00:11:26,180
them.

237
00:11:26,180 --> 00:11:27,153
If in the end there is no

238
00:11:27,153 --> 00:11:27,353
contribution we can debate

239
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:29,210
that.

240
00:11:29,210 --> 00:11:30,289
There are other issues to

241
00:11:30,289 --> 00:11:32,625
obviously, we want to make sure

242
00:11:32,625 --> 00:11:33,192
these things get done.

243
00:11:33,192 --> 00:11:35,600
I've been adamant from my

244
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,229
position when we are dealing

245
00:11:36,229 --> 00:11:38,131
with housing in my district or

246
00:11:38,131 --> 00:11:40,320
anybody else's I want to see

247
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,340
people who can get things done.

248
00:11:42,340 --> 00:11:44,360
And not because we've had

249
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,538
situations where some of these

250
00:11:45,538 --> 00:11:47,390
things have not been done in

251
00:11:47,390 --> 00:11:49,410
this particular case in

252
00:11:49,410 --> 00:11:50,210
speaking to the mayor I was

253
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:52,780
actually kind of, because I

254
00:11:52,780 --> 00:11:53,246
thought he knew and when I

255
00:11:53,246 --> 00:11:54,180
spoke to him I said I haven't

256
00:11:54,180 --> 00:11:55,414
spoken to anyone.

257
00:11:55,414 --> 00:11:57,150
It's not about you.

258
00:11:57,150 --> 00:11:59,190
It could be anyone else.

259
00:11:59,190 --> 00:12:02,619
>> we had spoken to the prior

260
00:12:03,823 --> 00:12:04,957
administration claps the former

261
00:12:04,957 --> 00:12:06,159
commissioner, mayor bobo as

262
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:08,159
you're talking about.

263
00:12:08,862 --> 00:12:09,620
I got it but now there's a new

264
00:12:09,620 --> 00:12:11,620
mayor.

265
00:12:11,431 --> 00:12:12,398
And I know his name is mayor

266
00:12:12,398 --> 00:12:12,666
calvo.

267
00:12:12,666 --> 00:12:14,300
I got it.

268
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:16,304
I grew up in hialeah and I

269
00:12:16,304 --> 00:12:17,605
understand how things work but

270
00:12:17,605 --> 00:12:19,340
there's a new layer.

271
00:12:19,340 --> 00:12:19,606
And the new mayor needs to be

272
00:12:19,606 --> 00:12:21,606
talked to.

273
00:12:28,216 --> 00:12:29,450
I know that it's, he needs to

274
00:12:29,450 --> 00:12:31,285
look at it doesn't mean we will

275
00:12:31,285 --> 00:12:33,287
agree on everything with any

276
00:12:33,287 --> 00:12:35,222
particular cities mayor but the

277
00:12:35,222 --> 00:12:36,624
importance is that the courtesy

278
00:12:36,624 --> 00:12:37,225
should be given to that.

279
00:12:37,225 --> 00:12:38,459
New mayor.

280
00:12:38,459 --> 00:12:42,590
Even if this began with during

281
00:12:51,306 --> 00:12:53,174
the time of mayor bobo.

282
00:12:53,174 --> 00:12:54,375
And maybe a good idea, maybe

283
00:12:54,375 --> 00:12:56,444
anything else but we still need

284
00:12:56,444 --> 00:12:58,313
to talk to the new mayor so I

285
00:12:58,313 --> 00:13:00,348
am good conscience obviously

286
00:13:00,348 --> 00:13:02,183
will not be supportive moving

287
00:13:02,183 --> 00:13:02,517
it forward until the new mayor

288
00:13:02,517 --> 00:13:04,318
is spoken to.

289
00:13:04,318 --> 00:13:05,186
And that's where I'm coming

290
00:13:05,186 --> 00:13:07,186
from.

291
00:13:10,558 --> 00:13:12,558
>>chair: director.

292
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:13,662
>> be spoken with the

293
00:13:13,662 --> 00:13:15,697
ministration of the city they

294
00:13:15,697 --> 00:13:17,499
were in favor of the project

295
00:13:17,499 --> 00:13:19,499
knowingly included provisions

296
00:13:19,568 --> 00:13:21,537
to assure the highline would be

297
00:13:21,537 --> 00:13:23,572
incorporated but I understand

298
00:13:23,572 --> 00:13:24,773
commissioner bermudez request

299
00:13:24,773 --> 00:13:25,840
that we the current

300
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,776
administration.

301
00:13:27,776 --> 00:13:29,780
>>commissioner bermudez: for me

302
00:13:29,780 --> 00:13:30,946
the matter of courtesy, there's

303
00:13:30,946 --> 00:13:31,880
a new administration that's

304
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,782
talked to them.

305
00:13:33,782 --> 00:13:33,982
And that's where I'm coming

306
00:13:33,982 --> 00:13:35,851
from.

307
00:13:35,851 --> 00:13:39,451
I was very surprised when they

308
00:13:42,257 --> 00:13:43,424
told me.

309
00:13:43,424 --> 00:13:46,227
All right, are you willing to

310
00:13:46,227 --> 00:13:48,229
send a new administration.

311
00:13:48,229 --> 00:13:50,629
>> from my understanding the 36

312
00:13:55,636 --> 00:13:58,360
units are workforce housing.

313
00:13:58,505 --> 00:13:59,473
Claps they are affordable,

314
00:13:59,473 --> 00:14:00,707
workforce.

315
00:14:00,707 --> 00:14:02,709
When we talk about workforce we

316
00:14:02,709 --> 00:14:04,144
are talking about people making

317
00:14:04,144 --> 00:14:06,780
at least $70-$100,000 a year.

318
00:14:06,780 --> 00:14:09,780
How many people, how many

319
00:14:10,115 --> 00:14:11,170
residents in hialeah can afford

320
00:14:11,170 --> 00:14:13,417
to pay that amount.

321
00:14:15,854 --> 00:14:19,725
Because I see the six units at

322
00:14:19,725 --> 00:14:20,992
120% ami.

323
00:14:20,992 --> 00:14:22,992
It's senior housing.

324
00:14:25,830 --> 00:14:26,831
There is a discrepancy here

325
00:14:26,831 --> 00:14:28,831
director miller.

326
00:14:36,474 --> 00:14:37,942
How do you justify that.

327
00:14:37,942 --> 00:14:39,610
>> I will look into that.

328
00:14:39,610 --> 00:14:42,946
I don't have the parameters in

329
00:14:42,946 --> 00:14:44,381
front of me, I apologize.

330
00:14:44,381 --> 00:14:46,490
>>chair: 130% ami, how much

331
00:14:46,490 --> 00:14:49,649
with the resident be making to

332
00:14:57,226 --> 00:14:57,527
qualify for the so-called

333
00:14:57,527 --> 00:14:59,527
affordable?

334
00:15:02,264 --> 00:15:04,264
A year.

335
00:15:04,432 --> 00:15:04,666
, how many residents in

336
00:15:04,666 --> 00:15:06,666
hialeah.

337
00:15:10,380 --> 00:15:13,638
Can afford that because when we

338
00:15:20,714 --> 00:15:22,683
talk about affordable, my

339
00:15:22,683 --> 00:15:23,818
question is has always been

340
00:15:23,818 --> 00:15:25,686
affordable for whom.

341
00:15:25,686 --> 00:15:26,854
And if it's not affordable for

342
00:15:26,854 --> 00:15:29,854
the residents, who live in

343
00:15:31,758 --> 00:15:31,925
hialeah, who is it affordable

344
00:15:31,925 --> 00:15:33,893
for.

345
00:15:33,893 --> 00:15:35,795
>> is not senior housing, it is

346
00:15:35,795 --> 00:15:39,395
based on the parameters of our

347
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,320
affordable housing.

348
00:15:42,168 --> 00:15:43,202
>> commissioner would you like

349
00:15:43,202 --> 00:15:45,202
to be recognized?

350
00:15:56,448 --> 00:15:58,448
Go ahead.

351
00:15:58,483 --> 00:16:00,418
>> the application on page 201

352
00:16:00,418 --> 00:16:01,619
as it asked hialeah senior

353
00:16:01,619 --> 00:16:03,521
living red that's the project

354
00:16:03,521 --> 00:16:04,422
name throughout it talks about

355
00:16:04,422 --> 00:16:06,422
hialeah.

356
00:16:06,457 --> 00:16:07,625
About senior housing which is

357
00:16:07,625 --> 00:16:09,960
why we are confused by the name

358
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:10,561
of the application and the

359
00:16:10,561 --> 00:16:12,429
hundred 20 like ami which is

360
00:16:12,429 --> 00:16:13,530
why I was asking about surtax

361
00:16:13,530 --> 00:16:14,598
and what's the next step.

362
00:16:14,598 --> 00:16:17,598
This seems like a flip.

363
00:16:22,305 --> 00:16:24,173
It smells like a flip.

364
00:16:24,173 --> 00:16:25,174
Claps happy to address the

365
00:16:25,174 --> 00:16:26,275
question.

366
00:16:26,275 --> 00:16:28,277
It was originally proposed as

367
00:16:28,277 --> 00:16:30,212
senior during the development

368
00:16:30,212 --> 00:16:31,413
discussion it was changed to

369
00:16:31,413 --> 00:16:33,315
affordable and again falls

370
00:16:33,315 --> 00:16:35,217
within that parameter.

371
00:16:35,217 --> 00:16:36,385
Claps so it started off as a

372
00:16:36,385 --> 00:16:38,186
conversation about affordable

373
00:16:38,186 --> 00:16:39,888
and it ended up being a

374
00:16:39,888 --> 00:16:41,423
conversation about workforce.

375
00:16:41,423 --> 00:16:42,357
>> it started off as senior and

376
00:16:42,357 --> 00:16:44,192
then went to.

377
00:16:44,192 --> 00:16:47,792
Claps for the price point we

378
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,111
are talking about there should

379
00:17:05,111 --> 00:17:07,470
be contributions.

380
00:17:07,470 --> 00:17:08,810
There should be some sort of

381
00:17:08,810 --> 00:17:09,182
community benefit.

382
00:17:09,182 --> 00:17:11,170
This is a county property.

383
00:17:11,170 --> 00:17:12,718
They are not building low

384
00:17:12,718 --> 00:17:14,200
income senior housing.

385
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,122
If you are saying we are

386
00:17:16,122 --> 00:17:17,323
building thirtysomething units

387
00:17:17,323 --> 00:17:19,157
of low income senior housing

388
00:17:19,157 --> 00:17:21,860
the county will take a wash.

389
00:17:21,860 --> 00:17:23,950
$37,000 a year is nothing but

390
00:17:23,950 --> 00:17:24,196
your building workforce housing

391
00:17:24,196 --> 00:17:26,164
at the top of the market.

392
00:17:26,164 --> 00:17:27,566
Either there has to be a bigger

393
00:17:27,566 --> 00:17:29,200
contribution to the county.

394
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,690
We have to figure out where is

395
00:17:31,690 --> 00:17:32,203
that money going to go,

396
00:17:32,203 --> 00:17:34,380
transit, will they make a

397
00:17:34,380 --> 00:17:35,239
contribution to the highline.

398
00:17:35,239 --> 00:17:37,174
It should have a community

399
00:17:37,174 --> 00:17:37,375
benefits package at this price

400
00:17:37,375 --> 00:17:39,110
point.

401
00:17:39,110 --> 00:17:40,211
at this price point in my

402
00:17:40,211 --> 00:17:42,112
district and it jaycees

403
00:17:42,112 --> 00:17:44,810
district, and you know, it

404
00:17:44,810 --> 00:17:45,582
would have a community benefits

405
00:17:45,582 --> 00:17:47,500
agreement and we would be

406
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:48,351
asking for community benefits.

407
00:17:48,351 --> 00:17:50,253
>>chair: would you like to say?

408
00:17:50,253 --> 00:17:51,254
I do have the plan in front of

409
00:17:51,254 --> 00:17:51,388
me director miller.

410
00:17:51,388 --> 00:17:53,388
Ither

411
00:17:55,558 --> 00:17:57,927
120% ami for a family of four,

412
00:17:57,927 --> 00:18:01,230
one person you have to be

413
00:18:01,230 --> 00:18:01,430
making 114,000 and $480 per

414
00:18:01,430 --> 00:18:03,430
year.

415
00:18:06,368 --> 00:18:08,303
To qualify.

416
00:18:08,303 --> 00:18:11,306
Two people have to make at

417
00:18:11,306 --> 00:18:12,574
least 130,000 a year.

418
00:18:12,574 --> 00:18:14,342
And so on and so forth.

419
00:18:14,342 --> 00:18:18,542
For a family of 4 they have to

420
00:18:20,882 --> 00:18:23,282
be making 163,000 448 dollars a

421
00:18:24,351 --> 00:18:26,351
year to qualify.

422
00:18:35,461 --> 00:18:37,364
So the maker, sponsor of the

423
00:18:37,364 --> 00:18:38,332
item is not here so I don't

424
00:18:38,332 --> 00:18:39,499
feel comfortable.

425
00:18:39,499 --> 00:18:41,368
I would like to hear the

426
00:18:41,368 --> 00:18:43,768
position of my colleagues.

427
00:18:45,706 --> 00:18:49,906
Okay, so I have a proposal to

428
00:18:52,846 --> 00:18:54,381
defer, do we have a second?

429
00:18:54,381 --> 00:18:56,490
>>commissioner lopez: I do have

430
00:18:56,490 --> 00:18:57,886
a comment, the discussion we

431
00:18:57,886 --> 00:18:59,120
are having always begs the

432
00:18:59,120 --> 00:18:59,987
question about these ami charts

433
00:18:59,987 --> 00:19:01,389
we got.

434
00:19:01,389 --> 00:19:05,589
For me as we've said in this

435
00:19:09,798 --> 00:19:10,932
committee before our seniors

436
00:19:10,932 --> 00:19:13,332
are not 30% ami, 20% ami.

437
00:19:17,673 --> 00:19:17,906
Our working-class is at 50 and

438
00:19:17,906 --> 00:19:19,774
60% ami.

439
00:19:19,774 --> 00:19:21,576
It so the county has somehow in

440
00:19:21,576 --> 00:19:23,377
its inevitable way said

441
00:19:23,377 --> 00:19:23,545
workforce is between 60 and

442
00:19:23,545 --> 00:19:25,545
140.

443
00:19:29,384 --> 00:19:31,419
Hich does not encompass

444
00:19:31,419 --> 00:19:32,220
the true picture of miami-dade

445
00:19:32,220 --> 00:19:33,722
county.

446
00:19:33,722 --> 00:19:36,722
And either we start talking

447
00:19:39,561 --> 00:19:40,696
about that because that is why

448
00:19:40,696 --> 00:19:42,531
everyone thinks it's not

449
00:19:42,531 --> 00:19:43,698
affordable even though we say

450
00:19:43,698 --> 00:19:45,700
it is, we all know it's not.

451
00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:47,603
the people we represent, the

452
00:19:47,603 --> 00:19:49,839
vast majority of the workers

453
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:51,640
who provide central services

454
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,208
are not at that level at all.

455
00:19:53,208 --> 00:19:55,143
So either we start to look

456
00:19:55,143 --> 00:19:58,743
outside the box and say maybe

457
00:20:09,526 --> 00:20:11,494
we have to reevaluate what we

458
00:20:11,494 --> 00:20:12,595
call affordable and workforce

459
00:20:12,595 --> 00:20:14,497
because when you look at this

460
00:20:14,497 --> 00:20:15,765
chart most people I represent

461
00:20:15,765 --> 00:20:17,567
do not fall even in that chart

462
00:20:17,567 --> 00:20:18,701
at the 60 to 140 or the 60 to

463
00:20:18,701 --> 00:20:20,537
120 and that's probably

464
00:20:20,537 --> 00:20:21,638
happening in all your

465
00:20:21,638 --> 00:20:24,380
districts, not just mine.

466
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,310
So I think it's a disservice to

467
00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:27,378
the people we represent to

468
00:20:27,378 --> 00:20:29,379
continue to say this is

469
00:20:29,379 --> 00:20:30,514
affordable or this is workforce

470
00:20:30,514 --> 00:20:32,315
when in fact it's not.

471
00:20:32,315 --> 00:20:35,915
I think we have to maybe

472
00:20:44,227 --> 00:20:45,495
conceptually change the way we

473
00:20:45,495 --> 00:20:47,895
operate because it's exactly

474
00:20:47,965 --> 00:20:49,466
what happened at the state when

475
00:20:49,466 --> 00:20:51,368
we thought we would solve the

476
00:20:51,368 --> 00:20:53,270
housing crisis and we passed

477
00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:54,504
live local and the city 80 to

478
00:20:54,504 --> 00:20:56,904
120, that didn't tell anybody

479
00:20:56,975 --> 00:20:58,309
and it was meant to help the

480
00:20:58,309 --> 00:21:00,244
essential services personnel

481
00:21:00,244 --> 00:21:01,445
which were the teachers, the

482
00:21:01,445 --> 00:21:03,347
firefighters and police who at

483
00:21:03,347 --> 00:21:05,382
the time that bill was passed

484
00:21:05,382 --> 00:21:06,551
it was during the pandemic and

485
00:21:06,551 --> 00:21:08,353
they had to go to work and we

486
00:21:08,353 --> 00:21:09,487
were trying to help them find

487
00:21:09,487 --> 00:21:11,355
places to live close to where

488
00:21:11,355 --> 00:21:13,358
they worked and it ended up not

489
00:21:13,358 --> 00:21:13,558
helping anyone that needed to

490
00:21:13,558 --> 00:21:15,558
help.

491
00:21:20,365 --> 00:21:21,533
I think to commissioner

492
00:21:21,533 --> 00:21:23,501
regalado's point it's well

493
00:21:23,501 --> 00:21:24,569
taken that they need to provide

494
00:21:24,569 --> 00:21:26,569
community benefits.

495
00:21:26,572 --> 00:21:28,573
We would never allow anything

496
00:21:28,573 --> 00:21:30,375
at that level in our districts

497
00:21:30,375 --> 00:21:31,610
not to come with a full

498
00:21:31,610 --> 00:21:33,411
community benefits package of

499
00:21:33,411 --> 00:21:35,413
which this has zero.

500
00:21:35,413 --> 00:21:36,415
That's why I'm seconding the

501
00:21:36,415 --> 00:21:38,415
deferral.

502
00:21:39,418 --> 00:21:41,453
>>chair: thank you, vice chair.

503
00:21:41,453 --> 00:21:43,421
>>commissioner mcghee: ditto to

504
00:21:43,421 --> 00:21:44,489
both of the commissioners that

505
00:21:44,489 --> 00:21:45,924
have spoken about this.

506
00:21:45,924 --> 00:21:47,660
I think the problem is the ami.

507
00:21:47,660 --> 00:21:48,627
He new name should be add

508
00:21:48,627 --> 00:21:50,627
more income.

509
00:21:54,967 --> 00:21:56,902
That's honestly think about it.

510
00:21:56,902 --> 00:21:58,700
The chair has said it best, he

511
00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:00,720
said you're asking the great

512
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:00,339
*phone* hialeah to meet this

513
00:22:00,339 --> 00:22:02,740
threshold.

514
00:22:02,740 --> 00:22:04,100
I don't know if that many

515
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:06,213
people in miami-dade county can

516
00:22:06,213 --> 00:22:07,914
meet that threshold so we say

517
00:22:07,914 --> 00:22:09,148
what is the area median income,

518
00:22:09,148 --> 00:22:11,117
essentially what we are saying

519
00:22:11,117 --> 00:22:13,152
is if you have more income, we

520
00:22:13,152 --> 00:22:15,210
will classify it as affordable

521
00:22:15,210 --> 00:22:19,221
and you get to run around town

522
00:22:25,898 --> 00:22:27,301
simply saying you support

523
00:22:27,301 --> 00:22:28,235
affordability, the

524
00:22:28,235 --> 00:22:30,300
affordability regime that we

525
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:31,972
are putting forth to make

526
00:22:31,972 --> 00:22:32,272
miami-dade county more

527
00:22:32,272 --> 00:22:34,410
affordable.

528
00:22:34,410 --> 00:22:35,208
In fact you are really not,

529
00:22:35,208 --> 00:22:35,975
let's be clear and call it what

530
00:22:35,975 --> 00:22:37,944
it is.

531
00:22:37,944 --> 00:22:39,413
It's giving more opportunities

532
00:22:39,413 --> 00:22:41,810
or more of those bad actors

533
00:22:41,810 --> 00:22:43,500
because we have good developers

534
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:44,984
in this county, let's be clear

535
00:22:44,984 --> 00:22:47,984
who have contributed more to

536
00:22:48,322 --> 00:22:49,389
the community benefits than

537
00:22:49,389 --> 00:22:51,358
most developers and other

538
00:22:51,358 --> 00:22:52,626
counties in other states but

539
00:22:52,626 --> 00:22:54,495
there are those developers who

540
00:22:54,495 --> 00:22:56,564
are simply using the ami model

541
00:22:56,564 --> 00:22:58,466
to shakedown the residents who

542
00:22:58,466 --> 00:23:00,368
are feeling the pinch and we

543
00:23:00,368 --> 00:23:00,668
come in and say wait, it's

544
00:23:00,668 --> 00:23:02,336
affordable.

545
00:23:02,336 --> 00:23:03,771
It's not affordable.

546
00:23:03,771 --> 00:23:05,372
You cannot tell me the same

547
00:23:05,372 --> 00:23:07,308
$163,000 could be used and

548
00:23:07,308 --> 00:23:08,476
showcased as affordable for a

549
00:23:08,476 --> 00:23:10,311
family of over four when in

550
00:23:10,311 --> 00:23:13,911
fact there are people in all

551
00:23:15,820 --> 00:23:16,952
our districts who are not even

552
00:23:16,952 --> 00:23:17,853
going to be able to see

553
00:23:17,853 --> 00:23:19,853
$100,000 on their taxes.

554
00:23:24,592 --> 00:23:24,792
It's just ridiculous to suggest

555
00:23:24,792 --> 00:23:26,628
that.

556
00:23:26,628 --> 00:23:27,829
So again I think we should

557
00:23:27,829 --> 00:23:31,429
declare, and I'm going to use

558
00:23:33,134 --> 00:23:34,969
this word very strongly, we

559
00:23:34,969 --> 00:23:36,872
should declare war on this ami

560
00:23:36,872 --> 00:23:38,907
idea that they should be the

561
00:23:38,907 --> 00:23:39,241
driving force as it relates to

562
00:23:39,241 --> 00:23:41,430
affordability.

563
00:23:41,430 --> 00:23:43,780
It we should classify it as add

564
00:23:43,780 --> 00:23:46,780
more income because that's its

565
00:23:53,210 --> 00:23:54,856
real name and anytime we speak

566
00:23:54,856 --> 00:23:56,492
in terms of the ami we should

567
00:23:56,492 --> 00:23:57,894
talk about healthy community

568
00:23:57,894 --> 00:23:58,995
benefits agreement packages

569
00:23:58,995 --> 00:23:59,929
that the community could

570
00:23:59,929 --> 00:24:00,829
benefit from.

571
00:24:00,829 --> 00:24:02,865
Hose are my two

572
00:24:02,865 --> 00:24:03,899
cents and I do support the

573
00:24:03,899 --> 00:24:05,100
deferral.

574
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:07,870
>>chair: thank you vice chair

575
00:24:07,870 --> 00:24:09,872
and we are all in agreement and

576
00:24:09,872 --> 00:24:11,907
that's why I sponsored this

577
00:24:11,907 --> 00:24:13,108
legislation to reassess because

578
00:24:13,108 --> 00:24:15,110
there is this disconnect.

579
00:24:15,110 --> 00:24:17,470
There is clearly a disconnect.

580
00:24:17,470 --> 00:24:20,470
We cannot continue to pretend

581
00:24:23,886 --> 00:24:25,210
that we are building affordable

582
00:24:25,210 --> 00:24:26,923
housing and then we call it

583
00:24:26,923 --> 00:24:28,580
affordable when most of the

584
00:24:28,580 --> 00:24:30,827
residents in my district, in

585
00:24:30,827 --> 00:24:32,280
his district, in commissioner

586
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,863
regalado's district cannot

587
00:24:33,863 --> 00:24:35,999
afford it so there is a

588
00:24:35,999 --> 00:24:37,101
disconnect so I have an item

589
00:24:37,101 --> 00:24:39,200
that will pass committee

590
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,602
already as you know that will

591
00:24:42,672 --> 00:24:44,700
be coming to hopefully the next

592
00:24:44,700 --> 00:24:45,675
bcc for us to tackle this

593
00:24:45,675 --> 00:24:46,710
because we cannot be living in

594
00:24:46,710 --> 00:24:49,710
this lala land, voting on

595
00:24:50,481 --> 00:24:52,649
projects that will exclude the

596
00:24:52,649 --> 00:24:55,490
residence access to truly

597
00:24:55,685 --> 00:24:58,850
affordable housing at this

598
00:24:59,890 --> 00:25:02,290
level, even our police

599
00:25:02,693 --> 00:25:04,461
officers, our surgeons, our

600
00:25:04,461 --> 00:25:06,461
teachers, essential workers

601
00:25:09,433 --> 00:25:10,868
will not be able to qualify to

602
00:25:10,868 --> 00:25:13,868
access while we are supporting

603
00:25:18,309 --> 00:25:19,277
housing that are workers aren't

604
00:25:19,277 --> 00:25:21,112
able to afford.

605
00:25:21,112 --> 00:25:24,112
That doesn't make any sense.

606
00:25:25,149 --> 00:25:27,190
It really really irks me beyond

607
00:25:27,190 --> 00:25:30,190
measure that our teachers have

608
00:25:30,988 --> 00:25:32,990
to move to broward to further

609
00:25:32,990 --> 00:25:35,990
notice that our police officers

610
00:25:39,297 --> 00:25:39,898
aren't able to work, to live in

611
00:25:39,898 --> 00:25:41,898
miami dade county.

612
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,235
That's not the vision we should

613
00:25:44,235 --> 00:25:45,170
support so commissioner

614
00:25:45,170 --> 00:25:47,170
regalado.

615
00:25:47,173 --> 00:25:48,674
>>commissioner regalado: I

616
00:25:48,674 --> 00:25:50,342
completely agree with you all

617
00:25:50,342 --> 00:25:52,177
and I will add one more thing

618
00:25:52,177 --> 00:25:53,845
read a while back I brought an

619
00:25:53,845 --> 00:25:55,313
item to safeguard water and

620
00:25:55,313 --> 00:25:55,881
sewer properties that was not

621
00:25:55,881 --> 00:25:57,881
done for transit.

622
00:25:58,684 --> 00:25:59,719
So separate and apart from the

623
00:25:59,719 --> 00:26:01,687
conversation we are having

624
00:26:01,687 --> 00:26:03,889
about the true affordability of

625
00:26:03,889 --> 00:26:06,459
units, this is a transit public

626
00:26:06,459 --> 00:26:08,459
works asset.

627
00:26:11,364 --> 00:26:12,565
This is a transit public works

628
00:26:12,565 --> 00:26:14,567
asset and we are giving that

629
00:26:14,567 --> 00:26:16,469
asset for free in exchange for

630
00:26:16,469 --> 00:26:17,304
units that do not match up with

631
00:26:17,304 --> 00:26:19,304
the need.

632
00:26:19,372 --> 00:26:22,972
Because if you were giving away

633
00:26:25,278 --> 00:26:26,446
a transit asset and you were

634
00:26:26,446 --> 00:26:28,448
getting the price point of 20

635
00:26:28,448 --> 00:26:30,417
or 30 you said we are giving

636
00:26:30,417 --> 00:26:32,218
away a transit asset but we are

637
00:26:32,218 --> 00:26:34,618
getting housing that we

638
00:26:35,121 --> 00:26:36,256
absolutely need and it is a rad

639
00:26:36,256 --> 00:26:37,324
program.

640
00:26:37,324 --> 00:26:40,494
That's what we would be doing

641
00:26:40,494 --> 00:26:41,661
is saying this is a transit

642
00:26:41,661 --> 00:26:43,530
property property but we want

643
00:26:43,530 --> 00:26:44,630
it to become part of the

644
00:26:44,630 --> 00:26:47,630
housing portfolio so we can

645
00:26:55,108 --> 00:26:56,344
have a project and stacked the

646
00:26:56,344 --> 00:26:58,279
financing so that we can get to

647
00:26:58,279 --> 00:26:59,480
that 25, 35, 45, 50% we need

648
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,281
but to poach a transit asset to

649
00:27:01,281 --> 00:27:03,284
no benefit to transit, to then

650
00:27:03,284 --> 00:27:05,219
create workforce units without

651
00:27:05,219 --> 00:27:06,254
a community benefit as transit

652
00:27:06,254 --> 00:27:06,588
is on its knees is just

653
00:27:06,588 --> 00:27:08,122
irresponsible.

654
00:27:08,122 --> 00:27:08,456
T's just

655
00:27:08,456 --> 00:27:10,456
irresponsible.

656
00:27:14,995 --> 00:27:16,998
So and listen, you are

657
00:27:16,998 --> 00:27:18,299
suffering the request.

658
00:27:18,299 --> 00:27:19,367
Statutorily you have to respond

659
00:27:19,367 --> 00:27:21,168
to the request.

660
00:27:21,168 --> 00:27:23,400
But that's why I think in a

661
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,604
situation like this, if we are

662
00:27:26,908 --> 00:27:28,876
going to take a transit asset,

663
00:27:28,876 --> 00:27:30,745
then it should be an open and

664
00:27:30,745 --> 00:27:31,746
competitive process so we can

665
00:27:31,746 --> 00:27:34,146
get the best deal.

666
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,635
Where we are in transit right

667
00:27:53,635 --> 00:27:55,303
now, it doesn't make any sense

668
00:27:55,303 --> 00:27:57,306
to do this unless they are

669
00:27:57,306 --> 00:27:57,640
coming with something that is

670
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,308
so compelling.

671
00:27:59,308 --> 00:28:01,243
If it's so compelling for

672
00:28:01,243 --> 00:28:02,377
seniors, if it's so compelling

673
00:28:02,377 --> 00:28:04,279
that we are like we are going

674
00:28:04,279 --> 00:28:05,313
to do this because it's so

675
00:28:05,313 --> 00:28:07,216
compelling, this is not

676
00:28:07,216 --> 00:28:08,284
compelling under any scenario.

677
00:28:08,284 --> 00:28:09,385
T's actually kind of

678
00:28:09,385 --> 00:28:10,352
offensive.

679
00:28:10,352 --> 00:28:11,553
Because of the area and they

680
00:28:11,553 --> 00:28:13,289
need in that area.

681
00:28:13,289 --> 00:28:14,323
And the fact that transit is

682
00:28:14,323 --> 00:28:16,259
not being made whole.

683
00:28:16,259 --> 00:28:17,760
It is where treating it as a

684
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,462
housing project as if this was

685
00:28:19,462 --> 00:28:21,364
part of the housing portfolio.

686
00:28:21,364 --> 00:28:23,266
We should have a community

687
00:28:23,266 --> 00:28:24,200
benefit, there should be a

688
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:24,333
benefit to transit.

689
00:28:24,333 --> 00:28:26,236
Here

690
00:28:26,236 --> 00:28:28,710
needs to be some accounting as

691
00:28:28,710 --> 00:28:32,271
to why this high price point so

692
00:28:32,275 --> 00:28:32,475
I think we defer it and ask the

693
00:28:32,475 --> 00:28:34,377
major.

694
00:28:34,377 --> 00:28:35,912
>>chair: you are moving to

695
00:28:35,912 --> 00:28:37,313
differ, do we have a second and

696
00:28:37,313 --> 00:28:38,482
do have a date to next

697
00:28:38,482 --> 00:28:39,349
committee meeting, is that

698
00:28:39,349 --> 00:28:40,550
okay?

699
00:28:40,550 --> 00:28:42,550
>>commissioner regalado: when

700
00:28:43,186 --> 00:28:44,287
is the next committee meeting.

701
00:28:44,287 --> 00:28:46,287
>>chair: SEPTEMBER?

702
00:28:48,959 --> 00:28:50,994
Please check the date.

703
00:28:50,994 --> 00:28:52,162
>>commissioner regalado: we are

704
00:28:52,162 --> 00:28:54,931
dealing with the budget is my

705
00:28:54,931 --> 00:28:57,931
only thing because everyone is

706
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,872
busy grid the clerk is saying

707
00:29:01,872 --> 00:29:03,173
SEPTEMBER 9. I don't know if we

708
00:29:03,173 --> 00:29:05,842
are going to have time from now

709
00:29:05,842 --> 00:29:09,442
till then with the budget so

710
00:29:13,830 --> 00:29:13,951
definitely push it out till

711
00:29:13,951 --> 00:29:15,118
OCTOBER.

712
00:29:15,118 --> 00:29:17,210
That way we have time to bring

713
00:29:17,210 --> 00:29:19,570
it back and talk about it and

714
00:29:19,570 --> 00:29:20,892
meet with housing and meet with

715
00:29:20,892 --> 00:29:22,590
transit but this is one of

716
00:29:22,590 --> 00:29:23,961
those situations we need to

717
00:29:23,961 --> 00:29:25,195
have a meeting of those two

718
00:29:25,195 --> 00:29:26,300
departments to figure out a

719
00:29:26,300 --> 00:29:28,300
path forward.

720
00:29:28,900 --> 00:29:30,969
>> I would say to commissioner

721
00:29:30,969 --> 00:29:33,271
bermudez point talking to them

722
00:29:33,271 --> 00:29:34,138
eight new mayor under the new

723
00:29:34,138 --> 00:29:35,390
administration they MAY have

724
00:29:35,390 --> 00:29:36,875
another idea.

725
00:29:36,875 --> 00:29:38,110
He the mayor MAY already begin

726
00:29:38,110 --> 00:29:39,945
to see where the needs are

727
00:29:39,945 --> 00:29:41,913
that's a long time from the

728
00:29:41,913 --> 00:29:43,882
last administration.

729
00:29:43,882 --> 00:29:45,830
I'd would be welcome to hear

730
00:29:45,830 --> 00:29:46,885
what he thinks so certainly

731
00:29:46,885 --> 00:29:48,530
moving it to OCTOBER gives

732
00:29:48,530 --> 00:29:49,988
everybody plenty of time to

733
00:29:49,988 --> 00:29:53,588
meet with the right people but

734
00:29:59,365 --> 00:30:01,199
I like commissioner regalado

735
00:30:01,199 --> 00:30:03,201
think we are giving up

736
00:30:03,201 --> 00:30:04,303
something, we've got to get

737
00:30:04,303 --> 00:30:06,305
something and if it had been

738
00:30:06,305 --> 00:30:07,406
senior housing I would have

739
00:30:07,406 --> 00:30:09,342
been ecstatic even if it

740
00:30:09,342 --> 00:30:11,177
weren't in my district because

741
00:30:11,177 --> 00:30:12,678
that's what we need across the

742
00:30:12,678 --> 00:30:14,246
county is more senior housing

743
00:30:14,246 --> 00:30:15,414
but she is right, we are

744
00:30:15,414 --> 00:30:17,414
getting nothing.

745
00:30:17,417 --> 00:30:19,318
And I think it's important that

746
00:30:19,318 --> 00:30:21,220
we wait and also here from the

747
00:30:21,220 --> 00:30:21,554
sponsor of the item so OCTOBER

748
00:30:21,554 --> 00:30:23,289
sounds great.

749
00:30:23,289 --> 00:30:25,191
>> so deferred till OCTOBER.

750
00:30:25,191 --> 00:30:26,359
What is the date please?

751
00:30:26,359 --> 00:30:27,461
>> it will be OCTOBER 14.

752
00:30:27,461 --> 00:30:29,461
>> all in favor.

753
00:30:30,463 --> 00:30:31,497
Any opposed.

754
00:30:31,497 --> 00:30:33,497
All right.

755
00:30:37,937 --> 00:30:39,738
So there is a request that 2 a

756
00:30:39,738 --> 00:30:41,140
is moved to the next bcc.

757
00:30:41,140 --> 00:30:43,140
To the JULY 18.

758
00:30:45,143 --> 00:30:46,111
JULY 21.

759
00:30:46,111 --> 00:30:48,111
All right.

760
00:30:49,981 --> 00:30:51,950
Anything else MR. Attorney?

761
00:30:51,950 --> 00:30:54,950
>> MADAM Chair you just have

762
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,996
the budget presentations.

763
00:31:05,996 --> 00:31:07,231
>>chair: I will start with

764
00:31:07,231 --> 00:31:08,998

stability.

850
00:34:34,823 --> 00:34:35,957
Our external customers, we

851
00:34:35,957 --> 00:34:37,580
wouldn't be able to do this

852
00:34:37,580 --> 00:34:38,827
work without them.

853
00:34:38,827 --> 00:34:40,762

community-based organizations.

858
00:34:49,603 --> 00:34:51,372
Accomplishments.

859
00:34:51,372 --> 00:34:53,340
I am excited to report we have

860
00:34:53,340 --> 00:34:53,640
successfully emerged 2 legacy

861
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,640
departments.

862
00:35:02,348 --> 00:35:04,184
Our community action and

863
00:35:04,184 --> 00:35:06,184
juvenile services department

864
00:35:06,218 --> 00:35:07,687
and have created our community

865
00:35:07,687 --> 00:35:08,854
services department aligning

866
00:35:08,854 --> 00:35:10,956
all our services and practices

867
00:35:10,956 --> 00:35:11,724
and delivering a continuum of

868
00:35:11,724 --> 00:35:13,724
care.

869
00:35:13,826 --> 00:35:15,961
We've also earned a new five

870
00:35:15,961 --> 00:35:17,896
year reaccreditation which

871
00:35:17,896 --> 00:35:20,896
shows the ability to really

872
00:35:24,202 --> 00:35:25,703
provide oversight to the

873
00:35:25,703 --> 00:35:26,337
services that are provided to

874
00:35:26,337 --> 00:35:28,337
our residents.

875
00:35:28,339 --> 00:35:30,374
We have many licensed mental

876
00:35:30,374 --> 00:35:32,374
health professionals ensuring

877
00:35:32,376 --> 00:35:32,810
the care and services provided

878
00:35:32,810 --> 00:35:34,810
to our residents.

879
00:35:34,812 --> 00:35:38,412
We've also been able to secure

880
00:35:40,170 --> 00:35:41,819
new funding to strengthen

881
00:35:41,819 --> 00:35:44,219
social safety net programs

882
00:35:44,622 --> 00:35:46,622
including housing safety,

883
00:35:46,758 --> 00:35:48,593
nutrition, transitional housing

884
00:35:48,593 --> 00:35:48,894
and headstart family

885
00:35:48,894 --> 00:35:49,594
engagement.

886
00:35:49,594 --> 00:35:51,594
Key issues.

887
00:35:52,630 --> 00:35:55,663
In many of our directors have

888
00:35:57,269 --> 00:36:00,269
already stated this MADAM Chair

889
00:36:05,977 --> 00:36:07,120
as well as commissioners.

890
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,148
The reduction of funding.

891
00:36:09,148 --> 00:36:11,490
And we're looking at reductions

892
00:36:11,490 --> 00:36:11,950
within the federal state local

893
00:36:11,950 --> 00:36:13,919
funding.

894
00:36:13,919 --> 00:36:16,870
Flat allocations and unfunded

895
00:36:16,870 --> 00:36:18,870
mandates potentially creating

896
00:36:22,394 --> 00:36:24,296
some gaps in services but we

897
00:36:24,296 --> 00:36:25,497
understand that the needs of

898
00:36:25,497 --> 00:36:27,233
our residents are increasing.

899
00:36:27,233 --> 00:36:28,601
We also have aging

900
00:36:28,601 --> 00:36:31,100
infrastructure which causes a

901
00:36:31,837 --> 00:36:32,838
lot of complex maintenance that

902
00:36:32,838 --> 00:36:34,838
needs to occur.

903
00:36:39,450 --> 00:36:39,279
These are not just structure in

904
00:36:39,279 --> 00:36:41,140
nature.

905
00:36:41,140 --> 00:36:42,916
These are facilities that are

906
00:36:42,916 --> 00:36:45,316
aging population or older

907
00:36:46,820 --> 00:36:47,870
adults depend on as well as

908
00:36:47,870 --> 00:36:48,855
children.

909
00:36:48,855 --> 00:36:51,991
And many of our services are

910
00:36:51,991 --> 00:36:54,391
provided within these centers.

911
00:36:55,828 --> 00:36:59,428
And our last piece, our key

912
00:37:01,735 --> 00:37:02,869
issue is we do have a many

913
00:37:02,869 --> 00:37:05,869
database systems and we have

914
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:08,242
the need to streamline

915
00:37:08,242 --> 00:37:11,242
processes within some of our

916
00:37:12,846 --> 00:37:14,180
protocols we have manual

917
00:37:14,180 --> 00:37:14,981
processes so technology needs

918
00:37:14,981 --> 00:37:16,917
to be key.

919
00:37:16,917 --> 00:37:18,850
We have to focus on really

920
00:37:18,850 --> 00:37:20,485
establishing a continuum of

921
00:37:28,296 --> 00:37:30,296
care that digitized.

922
00:37:31,980 --> 00:37:32,233
Our priority initiatives are in

923
00:37:32,233 --> 00:37:34,234
line with our key issues.

924
00:37:34,234 --> 00:37:36,136
The first one focuses on really

925
00:37:36,136 --> 00:37:37,572
continuing our relationship and

926
00:37:37,572 --> 00:37:39,307
enhancing that relationship

927
00:37:39,307 --> 00:37:40,241
with our office and management

928
00:37:40,241 --> 00:37:42,142
and budget.

929
00:37:42,142 --> 00:37:44,142
In pursuing funding.

930
00:37:44,512 --> 00:37:48,112
Also we have a five-year plan,

931
00:38:03,731 --> 00:38:05,667
as I mentioned with our

932
00:38:05,667 --> 00:38:06,936
facilities deploying annual

933
00:38:06,936 --> 00:38:08,837
facility review processes to

934
00:38:08,837 --> 00:38:10,380
ensure that we are taking some

935
00:38:10,380 --> 00:38:11,807
preventative measures to

936
00:38:11,807 --> 00:38:13,675
address these concerns and also

937
00:38:13,675 --> 00:38:14,676
the digitizing of our case

938
00:38:14,676 --> 00:38:14,782
management systems.

939
00:38:14,782 --> 00:38:16,712
T's

940
00:38:16,712 --> 00:38:17,847
important to understand that

941
00:38:17,847 --> 00:38:19,682
when clients are served in

942
00:38:19,682 --> 00:38:20,883
different parts of our

943
00:38:20,883 --> 00:38:22,784
department that we are able to

944
00:38:22,784 --> 00:38:24,686
really not only connect those

945
00:38:24,686 --> 00:38:25,820
services but make operational

946
00:38:25,820 --> 00:38:27,690
decisions according to the

947
00:38:27,690 --> 00:38:28,257
reports that we are able to

948
00:38:28,257 --> 00:38:28,991
generate.

949
00:38:28,991 --> 00:38:30,926
Our future outlook.

950
00:38:30,926 --> 00:38:32,728
We are evolving, evolving

951
00:38:32,728 --> 00:38:35,128
federal and state policies

952
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:37,166
continue to reshape program

953
00:38:37,166 --> 00:38:39,101
requirements and funding

954
00:38:39,101 --> 00:38:41,501
requiring our department to

955
00:38:49,790 --> 00:38:49,813
remain flexible, agile and

956
00:38:49,813 --> 00:38:51,115
responsive.

957
00:38:51,115 --> 00:38:52,315
Also miami dade's aging

958
00:38:52,315 --> 00:38:54,183
population is projected to

959
00:38:54,183 --> 00:38:56,583
reach 25% of residents by 2050,

960
00:38:59,222 --> 00:39:00,423
increasing demand in services

961
00:39:00,423 --> 00:39:02,325
for the older adult population.

962
00:39:02,325 --> 00:39:04,227
Rising housing costs and cost

963
00:39:04,227 --> 00:39:06,297
of living pressures coupled

964
00:39:06,297 --> 00:39:07,464
with poverty among young

965
00:39:07,464 --> 00:39:10,464
children and older adults are

966
00:39:10,868 --> 00:39:12,803
driving greater demand for

967
00:39:12,803 --> 00:39:14,803
prevention, stabilization and

968
00:39:14,804 --> 00:39:16,804
basic needs services.

969
00:39:16,874 --> 00:39:19,343
We have to continue investing

970
00:39:19,343 --> 00:39:20,511
in prevention technology and

971
00:39:20,511 --> 00:39:22,511
integrated service delivery

972
00:39:23,460 --> 00:39:24,815
will position our department to

973
00:39:24,815 --> 00:39:27,215
meet growing community needs

974
00:39:31,389 --> 00:39:33,257
while maximizing resources,

975
00:39:33,257 --> 00:39:35,657
improving outcomes and reducing

976
00:39:39,430 --> 00:39:40,565
long-term costs.

977
00:39:40,565 --> 00:39:44,165
Lastly, this is the last one.

978
00:40:02,921 --> 00:40:04,822
MADAM Chair.

979
00:40:04,822 --> 00:40:06,230
Community service departments

980
00:40:06,230 --> 00:40:07,826
outlook reinforces the core

981
00:40:07,826 --> 00:40:08,927
theme of this presentation.

982
00:40:08,927 --> 00:40:10,950
We are not simply a social

983
00:40:10,950 --> 00:40:11,963
services provider.

984
00:40:11,963 --> 00:40:13,965
We are the infrastructure that

985
00:40:13,965 --> 00:40:15,965
supports community well-being.

986
00:40:16,100 --> 00:40:17,937
Miami dade's resilience depends

987
00:40:17,937 --> 00:40:19,805
on the strength of its people

988
00:40:19,805 --> 00:40:20,973
and through a no wrong door

989
00:40:20,973 --> 00:40:22,907
approach we help residents

990
00:40:22,907 --> 00:40:24,776
access the support they need to

991
00:40:24,776 --> 00:40:25,430
thrive and reach their full

992
00:40:25,430 --> 00:40:25,844
potential.

993
00:40:25,844 --> 00:40:27,844
Thank you.

00:40:27,847 --> 00:40:29,782

995
00:40:29,782 --> 00:40:31,830

>>commissioner regalado: good

997
00:40:31,951 --> 00:40:33,951

>>commissioner bermudez: a

1001
00:40:39,825 --> 00:40:40,993
comment, not a question but all

1002
00:40:40,993 --> 00:40:42,962
these presentations remind me

1003
00:40:42,962 --> 00:40:44,863
of the simpsons where everybody

1004
00:40:44,863 --> 00:40:46,766
is at the bar and when the

1005
00:40:46,766 --> 00:40:47,967
world is ending they run in

1006
00:40:47,967 --> 00:40:49,869
different directions.

1007
00:40:49,869 --> 00:40:51,804
The bargain will go to the

1008
00:40:51,804 --> 00:40:53,843
church, the church people go to

1009
00:40:53,843 --> 00:40:54,640
the bar and I haven't seen any

1010
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,640
numbers, it's okay.

1011
00:40:58,344 --> 00:40:58,578
But woe is me, the world is

1012
00:40:58,578 --> 00:41:00,313
doomed.

1013
00:41:00,313 --> 00:41:04,513
There is a soccer game I like

1014
00:41:07,870 --> 00:41:09,230
to see in a while so thank you.

1015
00:41:09,230 --> 00:41:10,324
>>chair: we all had the same

1016
00:41:10,324 --> 00:41:13,293
observation, no numbers and we

1017
00:41:13,293 --> 00:41:14,260
know there's a strategy behind

1018
00:41:14,260 --> 00:41:17,640
it but it is what it is, thank

1019
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:17,898

1020
00:41:17,898 --> 00:41:19,800

1021
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,869
Now we are calling on the

00:41:35,983 --> 00:41:37,850

bring the entire brain trust.

1034
00:41:55,690 --> 00:41:56,638
Don't know why they are so far

1035
00:41:56,638 --> 00:41:59,380

1036
00:41:59,441 --> 00:42:00,308
>>chair: how much time you need

1037
00:42:00,308 --> 00:42:02,308

>>chair: go ahead.

1040
00:42:25,133 --> 00:42:26,902
>> our mission is housing.

1041
00:42:26,902 --> 00:42:28,804
All things housing, that's what

1042
00:42:28,804 --> 00:42:30,773
we do and our vision is to do

1043
00:42:30,773 --> 00:42:31,941
it better than anybody else so

1044
00:42:31,941 --> 00:42:33,776
we have a ways to go to get

1045
00:42:33,776 --> 00:42:34,776
there but that's where we are

1046
00:42:34,776 --> 00:42:36,779
striving to get to.

1047
00:42:36,779 --> 00:42:37,914
Our major functions, I need for

1048
00:42:37,914 --> 00:42:39,882
you all to know we are your

1049
00:42:39,882 --> 00:42:41,851
public housing agency, that's

1050
00:42:41,851 --> 00:42:42,951
what hud calls us, that's what

1051
00:42:42,951 --> 00:42:44,853
they define us as, some people

1052
00:42:44,853 --> 00:42:46,756
use housing authority, we are

1053
00:42:46,756 --> 00:42:47,724
the county housing authority,

1054
00:42:47,724 --> 00:42:49,724
we do section 8.

1055
00:42:49,726 --> 00:42:52,940
Those core functions of a

1056
00:42:52,940 --> 00:42:53,296
housing authority like any

1057
00:42:53,296 --> 00:42:55,297
other in the nation but this

1058
00:42:55,297 --> 00:42:57,467
government operates the housing

1059
00:42:57,467 --> 00:42:59,169
authority and we are also your

1060
00:42:59,169 --> 00:43:00,603
community development office.

1061
00:43:00,603 --> 00:43:02,271
He community development

1062
00:43:02,271 --> 00:43:03,539
office that uses programs like

1063
00:43:03,539 --> 00:43:05,174
block grants, emergency

1064
00:43:05,174 --> 00:43:06,376
solutions grant and the home

1065
00:43:06,376 --> 00:43:08,378
program so those functions are

1066
00:43:08,378 --> 00:43:10,213
all federal functions federally

1067
00:43:10,213 --> 00:43:12,182
funded and that's how we get

1068
00:43:12,182 --> 00:43:13,316
the work done in those two key

1069
00:43:13,316 --> 00:43:14,350
areas we operate as a unit in

1070
00:43:14,350 --> 00:43:16,350
this government.

1071
00:43:20,491 --> 00:43:21,458
Also we are your housing

1072
00:43:21,458 --> 00:43:22,792
department.

1073
00:43:22,792 --> 00:43:24,694
Sometimes this board comes up

1074
00:43:24,694 --> 00:43:26,564
with policies and ordinances

1075
00:43:26,564 --> 00:43:28,466
outside a housing authority or

1076
00:43:28,466 --> 00:43:29,767
community development office.

1077
00:43:29,767 --> 00:43:31,535
Imilar to the infield program

1078
00:43:31,535 --> 00:43:31,702
or developing housing.

1079
00:43:31,702 --> 00:43:33,470
Id you

1080
00:43:33,470 --> 00:43:35,505
all know we own and operate

1081
00:43:35,505 --> 00:43:36,641
maybe about 1700 housing that's

1082
00:43:36,641 --> 00:43:38,509
not public housing and that's

1083
00:43:38,509 --> 00:43:39,710
something we want to be able to

1084
00:43:39,710 --> 00:43:43,310
continue to do for the benefit

1085
00:43:50,288 --> 00:43:50,521
of the residence at miami-dade

1086
00:43:50,521 --> 00:43:52,456
county.

1087
00:43:52,456 --> 00:43:54,292
Did you know all our customers

1088
00:43:54,292 --> 00:43:55,526
because they call you, the

1089
00:43:55,526 --> 00:43:57,329
developers call you, they all

1090
00:43:57,329 --> 00:43:58,363
call you, those are our

1091
00:43:58,363 --> 00:43:59,297
customers but also the

1092
00:43:59,297 --> 00:44:00,565
departments.

1093
00:44:00,565 --> 00:44:02,500
Two of our keys customers are

1094
00:44:02,500 --> 00:44:06,700
in the room and we love them.

1095
00:44:12,477 --> 00:44:14,345
The trust, when vicki comes up

1096
00:44:14,345 --> 00:44:16,180
here she always has nice things

1097
00:44:16,180 --> 00:44:18,217
to say and community services,

1098
00:44:18,217 --> 00:44:19,418
another one of our customers,

1099
00:44:19,418 --> 00:44:21,286
transportation and amazing

1100
00:44:21,286 --> 00:44:22,353
customer and commissioner

1101
00:44:22,353 --> 00:44:24,322
regalado we will be at the

1102
00:44:24,322 --> 00:44:25,557
table to talk about that deal

1103
00:44:25,557 --> 00:44:27,359
we mentioned to make sure we

1104
00:44:27,359 --> 00:44:29,228
are contributing to helping

1105
00:44:29,228 --> 00:44:31,229
them do the right thing for the

1106
00:44:31,229 --> 00:44:32,430
benefit of the county.

1107
00:44:32,430 --> 00:44:34,430
Accomplishments, because of

1108
00:44:34,499 --> 00:44:36,402
your leadership thousands of

1109
00:44:36,402 --> 00:44:38,204
units are in the pipeline,

1110
00:44:38,204 --> 00:44:39,438
15,000 of those are our units

1111
00:44:39,438 --> 00:44:41,407
three redevelopment activities.

1112
00:44:41,407 --> 00:44:43,342
There was one housing committee

1113
00:44:43,342 --> 00:44:45,210
but that was about 1500 units

1114
00:44:45,210 --> 00:44:46,346
was approved in one meeting.

1115
00:44:46,346 --> 00:44:48,214
How amazing is that?

1116
00:44:48,214 --> 00:44:49,449
With our rad redevelopment we

1117
00:44:49,449 --> 00:44:52,285
are third in the nation only

1118
00:44:52,285 --> 00:44:53,452
behind new york and chicago so

1119
00:44:53,452 --> 00:44:55,354
hats off to you housing

1120
00:44:55,354 --> 00:44:55,721
committee for the work you

1121
00:44:55,721 --> 00:44:57,424
allow us to do.

1122
00:44:57,424 --> 00:45:00,493
We are also able to do condo

1123
00:45:00,493 --> 00:45:02,295
special assessment.

1124
00:45:02,295 --> 00:45:03,329
I keep telling you hottest

1125
00:45:03,329 --> 00:45:04,530
program out there.

1126
00:45:04,530 --> 00:45:06,333
You know all the output and

1127
00:45:06,333 --> 00:45:08,335
outreach we've done in your

1128
00:45:08,335 --> 00:45:09,569
district, 2200 people that

1129
00:45:09,569 --> 00:45:11,569
benefited, nearly $60 million

1130
00:45:17,911 --> 00:45:18,178
out the door to help those

1131
00:45:18,178 --> 00:45:19,980
families.

1132
00:45:19,980 --> 00:45:21,881
22 new projects, I believe 23rd

1133
00:45:21,881 --> 00:45:23,783
there was an additional project

1134
00:45:23,783 --> 00:45:25,318
from our rf eight approved by

1135
00:45:25,318 --> 00:45:26,521
this very committee so thank

1136
00:45:26,521 --> 00:45:28,589
you for your support.

1137
00:45:28,589 --> 00:45:29,923
Key issues, this is important.

1138
00:45:29,923 --> 00:45:31,558
We need more advocacy.

1139
00:45:31,558 --> 00:45:35,158
The funds we receive come from

1140
00:45:40,167 --> 00:45:41,368
the federal government and the

1141
00:45:41,368 --> 00:45:42,403
way they fund the section 8

1142
00:45:42,403 --> 00:45:44,304
program is troubling.

1143
00:45:44,304 --> 00:45:45,305
They never fund the program

1144
00:45:45,305 --> 00:45:46,441
fully.

1145
00:45:46,441 --> 00:45:48,376
You remember the discussions

1146
00:45:48,376 --> 00:45:50,776
last year about shortfall,

1147
00:45:53,247 --> 00:45:55,247
guess what.

1148
00:45:55,249 --> 00:45:57,185
We could potentially end up in

1149
00:45:57,185 --> 00:45:58,386
a shortfall again so we are

1150
00:45:58,386 --> 00:46:00,288
doing everything in our power

1151
00:46:00,288 --> 00:46:02,223
to prevent that so project

1152
00:46:02,223 --> 00:46:03,658
waste vouchers are at risk

1153
00:46:03,658 --> 00:46:04,325
because they come out of our

1154
00:46:04,325 --> 00:46:06,325
own portfolio.

1155
00:46:06,394 --> 00:46:08,497
If we don't have the funding to

1156
00:46:08,497 --> 00:46:09,364
support them those vouchers

1157
00:46:09,364 --> 00:46:11,232
used to close the financing gap

1158
00:46:11,232 --> 00:46:12,400
in a lot of these deals won't

1159
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:13,434
be available.

1160
00:46:13,434 --> 00:46:14,268
Icki MAY talk

1161
00:46:14,268 --> 00:46:15,269
about emergency housing

1162
00:46:15,269 --> 00:46:16,405
vouchers.

1163
00:46:16,405 --> 00:46:18,273
We got those powder vouchers as

1164
00:46:18,273 --> 00:46:19,241
part of covid but hud is saying

1165
00:46:19,241 --> 00:46:21,176
funding is done.

1166
00:46:21,176 --> 00:46:22,377
Housing authorities you got to

1167
00:46:22,377 --> 00:46:24,145
figure it out, so we got to

1168
00:46:24,145 --> 00:46:25,814
figure out 370 people that

1169
00:46:25,814 --> 00:46:27,349
potentially could be impacted

1170
00:46:27,349 --> 00:46:29,251
this year so we are working on

1171
00:46:29,251 --> 00:46:31,220
figuring that out but we need

1172
00:46:31,220 --> 00:46:33,121
for you to understand that's

1173
00:46:33,121 --> 00:46:34,289
something that's critically

1174
00:46:34,289 --> 00:46:37,889
important and is a key issue

1175
00:46:40,429 --> 00:46:42,397
for us at the department.

1176
00:46:42,397 --> 00:46:44,397
370 individuals without voucher

1177
00:46:45,267 --> 00:46:47,103
assistance that can say funding

1178
00:46:47,103 --> 00:46:50,703
is no longer available so what

1179
00:46:52,241 --> 00:46:53,375
we have to do is we have to

1180
00:46:53,375 --> 00:46:55,677
figure out a way to absorb them

1181
00:46:55,677 --> 00:46:57,180
into our program, identify

1182
00:46:57,180 --> 00:46:58,414
existing funding sources so

1183
00:46:58,414 --> 00:47:01,414
they do not get negatively

1184
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:11,994
impacted so we are working on

1185
00:47:11,994 --> 00:47:13,763
that, putting out there as a

1186
00:47:13,763 --> 00:47:13,996
key issue but do not be

1187
00:47:13,996 --> 00:47:15,898
alarmed.

1188
00:47:15,898 --> 00:47:17,000
The brain trust is here working

1189
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,869
on figuring it out.

1190
00:47:18,869 --> 00:47:20,270
The miami beach portfolio some

1191
00:47:20,270 --> 00:47:21,905
MAY recall 357 assets on the

1192
00:47:21,905 --> 00:47:23,840
beach is coming to the county

1193
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:24,874
so there's capital needs we

1194
00:47:24,874 --> 00:47:26,744
will need there so that's

1195
00:47:26,744 --> 00:47:28,779
something we are working on.

1196
00:47:28,779 --> 00:47:30,147
Priority initiatives, it's

1197
00:47:30,147 --> 00:47:30,781
always to increase more

1198
00:47:30,781 --> 00:47:32,781
housing.

1199
00:47:34,818 --> 00:47:36,687
We've seen amazing projects,

1200
00:47:36,687 --> 00:47:38,656
before this committee and we

1201
00:47:38,656 --> 00:47:40,191
hope to continue to see those

1202
00:47:40,191 --> 00:47:41,826
projects, before this committee

1203
00:47:41,826 --> 00:47:43,660
to make sure we are doing the

1204
00:47:43,660 --> 00:47:45,629
counties business and the

1205
00:47:45,629 --> 00:47:46,863
counties work, making sure we

1206
00:47:46,863 --> 00:47:48,698
continuously stay engaged with

1207
00:47:48,698 --> 00:47:50,200
our residents because we

1208
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,200
understand it so important for

1209
00:47:53,937 --> 00:47:55,905
them to participate.

1210
00:47:55,905 --> 00:47:57,840
In the typical community

1211
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,976
meeting we tried to convey this

1212
00:47:59,976 --> 00:48:00,876
is your opportunity to tell

1213
00:48:00,876 --> 00:48:01,711
developers tell us what is you

1214
00:48:01,711 --> 00:48:03,711
need.

1215
00:48:03,712 --> 00:48:04,913
Community engagement is so

1216
00:48:04,913 --> 00:48:06,815
important and we support the

1217
00:48:06,815 --> 00:48:07,950
efforts of this committee that

1218
00:48:07,950 --> 00:48:09,751
the board has done so far to

1219
00:48:09,751 --> 00:48:09,951
make sure we are doing our

1220
00:48:09,951 --> 00:48:10,886
part.

1221
00:48:10,886 --> 00:48:12,886
Future outlook.

1222
00:48:21,929 --> 00:48:23,698
I tell you, technology.

1223
00:48:23,698 --> 00:48:24,932
We need more of it.

1224
00:48:24,932 --> 00:48:26,767
You MAY recall we paused the

1225
00:48:26,767 --> 00:48:27,901
condo special assessment

1226
00:48:27,901 --> 00:48:29,736
program and said we wanted to

1227
00:48:29,736 --> 00:48:31,380
come back with a more

1228
00:48:31,380 --> 00:48:33,438
technological solution but we

1229
00:48:33,774 --> 00:48:35,609
did come back with a paperless

1230
00:48:35,609 --> 00:48:36,810
application but that's as far

1231
00:48:36,810 --> 00:48:38,745
as we got from you what we're

1232
00:48:38,745 --> 00:48:40,713
working on his actual

1233
00:48:40,713 --> 00:48:41,982
technology that will help us

1234
00:48:41,982 --> 00:48:43,883
process those applications so

1235
00:48:43,883 --> 00:48:45,951
we don't take so long to get a

1236
00:48:45,951 --> 00:48:47,753
response back to the community

1237
00:48:47,753 --> 00:48:48,754
so that the key thing we are

1238
00:48:48,754 --> 00:48:50,722
working on.

1239
00:48:50,722 --> 00:48:51,824
It continued strengthening of

1240
00:48:51,824 --> 00:48:53,725
the work we do with our

1241
00:48:53,725 --> 00:48:55,727
community, making sure our

1242
00:48:55,727 --> 00:48:57,762
resident councils our community

1243
00:48:57,762 --> 00:48:58,863
advisory committee everyone

1244
00:48:58,863 --> 00:48:59,931
feels they are participating in

1245
00:48:59,931 --> 00:49:02,000
the solutions we are putting

1246
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:03,835
forth before this committee and

1247
00:49:03,835 --> 00:49:05,869
our full board and of course

1248
00:49:05,869 --> 00:49:07,871
the preservation and expansion

1249
00:49:07,871 --> 00:49:09,807
of affordable housing, did I do

1250
00:49:09,807 --> 00:49:11,708
that in less than five?

1251
00:49:11,708 --> 00:49:12,909
>>chair: if you did, you took a

1252
00:49:12,909 --> 00:49:14,711
couple more minutes but you're

1253
00:49:14,711 --> 00:49:15,912
forgiven because I think you

1254
00:49:15,912 --> 00:49:17,714
won't are one of the most

1255
00:49:17,714 --> 00:49:19,714
dynamic presentation award.

1256
00:49:19,716 --> 00:49:21,718
Know my colleagues agree.

1257
00:49:21,718 --> 00:49:22,952
And you spoke my language when

1258
00:49:22,952 --> 00:49:23,920
you talked about streamlining

1259
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,722
the process.

1260
00:49:25,722 --> 00:49:26,789
This is something that we

1261
00:49:26,789 --> 00:49:28,858
really need to work on.

1262
00:49:28,858 --> 00:49:31,858
It's unacceptable for things to

1263
00:49:35,230 --> 00:49:36,431
take so long.

1264
00:49:36,431 --> 00:49:38,400
And so I'd like to commend you

1265
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,535
and your team for a great job.

1266
00:49:40,535 --> 00:49:41,469
Nathan is here, he's on

1267
00:49:41,469 --> 00:49:43,238
vacation but I really would

1268
00:49:43,238 --> 00:49:44,406
like to comment the team

1269
00:49:44,406 --> 00:49:45,240
because I know your job is not

1270
00:49:45,240 --> 00:49:46,474
easy.

1271
00:49:46,474 --> 00:49:47,308
But I agree, we need to do

1272
00:49:47,308 --> 00:49:48,543
better.

1273
00:49:48,543 --> 00:49:50,378
Need to have a strategic plan

1274
00:49:50,378 --> 00:49:54,548
to see how we can make this

1275
00:49:54,548 --> 00:49:56,417
process shorter.

1276
00:49:56,417 --> 00:49:57,584
Class I like to remind the

1277
00:49:57,584 --> 00:50:01,184
brain trust that you all do

1278
00:50:02,156 --> 00:50:04,124
good work.

1279
00:50:04,124 --> 00:50:05,125
Class any comments, any

1280
00:50:05,125 --> 00:50:05,392
questions.

1281
00:50:05,392 --> 00:50:07,392
No, okay.

1282
00:50:14,300 --> 00:50:15,334
Thank you much, most dynamic.

1283
00:50:15,334 --> 00:50:16,402
Thank you.

1284
00:50:16,402 --> 00:50:18,237
It now final one is miami

1285
00:50:18,237 --> 00:50:19,304
county homeless trust and did I

1286
00:50:19,304 --> 00:50:21,304
see MISS Millett.

1287
00:50:24,209 --> 00:50:26,111
How much time you need.

1288
00:50:26,111 --> 00:50:27,145
Class I will take the five same

1289
00:50:27,145 --> 00:50:28,413
five minutes as my

1290
00:50:28,413 --> 00:50:31,413
predecessors, thank you so much

1291
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:40,925
we had on vicki millett,

1292
00:50:40,925 --> 00:50:42,590
executive director of the

1293
00:50:42,590 --> 00:50:43,894
homeless trust.

1294
00:50:43,894 --> 00:50:45,129
Our mission is quite simple to

1295
00:50:45,129 --> 00:50:47,529
prevent and end homelessness.

1296
00:50:52,702 --> 00:50:54,637
We envision a community where

1297
00:50:54,637 --> 00:50:56,505
no one sleeps on our streets

1298
00:50:56,505 --> 00:50:57,640
and everyone has a safe and

1299
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,609
stable place to call home.

1300
00:50:59,609 --> 00:51:01,677
who are we, we are the umbrella

1301
00:51:01,677 --> 00:51:04,677
over housing and services and

1302
00:51:08,650 --> 00:51:10,618
any given time we are managing

1303
00:51:10,618 --> 00:51:12,618
100+ grants with about 200

1304
00:51:12,620 --> 00:51:13,621
dozen nonprofit agencies and

1305
00:51:13,621 --> 00:51:15,490
municipalities to provide

1306
00:51:15,490 --> 00:51:16,725
services to people experiencing

1307
00:51:16,725 --> 00:51:18,459
homelessness as well as those

1308
00:51:18,459 --> 00:51:18,793
at imminent risk of

1309
00:51:18,793 --> 00:51:20,628
homelessness.

1310
00:51:20,628 --> 00:51:22,463
We are funding things like

1311
00:51:22,463 --> 00:51:22,730
street outreach, emergency

1312
00:51:22,730 --> 00:51:24,498
shelters.

1313
00:51:24,498 --> 00:51:25,599
Short to medium-term rental

1314
00:51:25,599 --> 00:51:26,500
assistance to rent rent in

1315
00:51:26,500 --> 00:51:27,701
arrears.

1316
00:51:27,701 --> 00:51:29,503
And permanent supportive

1317
00:51:29,503 --> 00:51:30,704
housing which is

1318
00:51:30,704 --> 00:51:32,704
non-time-limited subsidies and

1319
00:51:33,473 --> 00:51:34,608
we are providing transitional

1320
00:51:34,608 --> 00:51:35,776
housing and support service

1321
00:51:35,776 --> 00:51:37,677
only programming.

1322
00:51:37,677 --> 00:51:40,677
We administer the proceeds of

1323
00:51:54,459 --> 00:51:56,428
the food and beverage tax and

1324
00:51:56,428 --> 00:51:58,396
that includes proceeds going to

1325
00:51:58,396 --> 00:51:58,696
domestic violence centers in

1326
00:51:58,696 --> 00:52:00,532
miami-dade.

1327
00:52:00,532 --> 00:52:02,400
Our food and beverage tax has

1328
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,569
done quite well and we

1329
00:52:04,569 --> 00:52:06,437
anticipate projected 43 million

1330
00:52:06,437 --> 00:52:08,372
in food and beverage proceeds.

1331
00:52:08,372 --> 00:52:10,408
We also serve as collaborative

1332
00:52:10,408 --> 00:52:12,443
applicant for state and local

1333
00:52:12,443 --> 00:52:13,577
opportunities, you as a bonnie

1334
00:52:13,577 --> 00:52:15,446
approved one of our items that

1335
00:52:15,446 --> 00:52:17,548
is a $63 million federal

1336
00:52:17,548 --> 00:52:19,383
portfolio, I'll tell you

1337
00:52:19,383 --> 00:52:20,617
compared to other large

1338
00:52:20,617 --> 00:52:22,418
communities in miami-dade

1339
00:52:22,418 --> 00:52:24,387
orlando and jacksonville

1340
00:52:24,387 --> 00:52:25,555
drawdown nowhere close to $63

1341
00:52:25,555 --> 00:52:27,423
million in federal funding.

1342
00:52:27,423 --> 00:52:28,657
And we manage the homeless

1343
00:52:28,657 --> 00:52:30,560
information systems so this is

1344
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,395
a system that allows us to see

1345
00:52:32,395 --> 00:52:33,529
not only the client but the

1346
00:52:33,529 --> 00:52:35,464
entire system and how

1347
00:52:35,464 --> 00:52:37,399
individuals move through that

1348
00:52:37,399 --> 00:52:39,668
system so we contract things

1349
00:52:39,668 --> 00:52:40,535
like length of time homeless,

1350
00:52:40,535 --> 00:52:42,471
successful exits from

1351
00:52:42,471 --> 00:52:44,439
homelessness, returns from

1352
00:52:44,439 --> 00:52:46,409
homelessness and returns from

1353
00:52:46,409 --> 00:52:47,843
housing to homelessness,

1354
00:52:47,843 --> 00:52:49,412
increases in income and

1355
00:52:49,412 --> 00:52:49,678
employment and first time

1356
00:52:49,678 --> 00:52:51,613
homeless.

1357
00:52:51,613 --> 00:52:53,482
For every 16 people we house on

1358
00:52:53,482 --> 00:52:55,417
any given day another 14 enter

1359
00:52:55,417 --> 00:52:57,286
our system for the first time.

1360
00:52:57,286 --> 00:52:58,588
Nd if we field calls every

1361
00:52:58,588 --> 00:53:00,389
day from constituents in your

1362
00:53:00,389 --> 00:53:01,657
districts as well as the

1363
00:53:01,657 --> 00:53:03,492
sheriff's office who is often

1364
00:53:03,492 --> 00:53:05,494
times serving people in the

1365
00:53:05,494 --> 00:53:07,430
community, there are things put

1366
00:53:07,430 --> 00:53:08,565
on the front line and they have

1367
00:53:08,565 --> 00:53:10,533
no options rent one in every

1368
00:53:10,533 --> 00:53:12,435
four people and it's getting

1369
00:53:12,435 --> 00:53:13,669
closer to one in three people

1370
00:53:13,669 --> 00:53:14,536
who enter our system as a

1371
00:53:14,536 --> 00:53:16,440
senior 55+.

1372
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:17,941
We also conduct to almost

1373
00:53:17,941 --> 00:53:20,477
census year and in those we saw

1374
00:53:20,477 --> 00:53:21,611
the increased year-over-year of

1375
00:53:21,611 --> 00:53:23,579
65 and older, 28% increase.

1376
00:53:23,579 --> 00:53:25,448
So we are seeing the seniors

1377
00:53:25,448 --> 00:53:25,715
being impacted in our

1378
00:53:25,715 --> 00:53:27,417
community.

1379
00:53:27,417 --> 00:53:28,618
Many of the people we serve

1380
00:53:28,618 --> 00:53:30,653
particularly those we serve at

1381
00:53:30,653 --> 00:53:32,522
our supportive housing programs

1382
00:53:32,522 --> 00:53:33,957
are disabled, homeless and

1383
00:53:33,957 --> 00:53:35,592
disabled they been homeless for

1384
00:53:35,592 --> 00:53:37,461
a year or more and as you know

1385
00:53:37,461 --> 00:53:40,461
we are up against changing

1386
00:53:45,935 --> 00:53:46,937
pressures in the federal

1387
00:53:46,937 --> 00:53:48,906
government.

1388
00:53:48,906 --> 00:53:51,410
Shifting from permanent housing

1389
00:53:51,410 --> 00:53:52,910
to a more transitional housing

1390
00:53:52,910 --> 00:53:54,945
model that could impact people

1391
00:53:54,945 --> 00:53:55,946
are currently in our supportive

1392
00:53:55,946 --> 00:53:57,115
housing programs.

1393
00:53:57,115 --> 00:53:59,160
But we are pivoting to create

1394
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:00,918
those interventions which we

1395
00:54:00,918 --> 00:54:02,860
know well and have done before

1396
00:54:02,860 --> 00:54:04,880
and people who seek treatment

1397
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:05,923
should get treatment, people

1398
00:54:05,923 --> 00:54:07,792
who want detox to get detox

1399
00:54:07,792 --> 00:54:09,930
where working with other

1400
00:54:09,930 --> 00:54:11,280
systems including driving minds

1401
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:12,930
and other systems who work with

1402
00:54:12,930 --> 00:54:13,798
people experiencing

1403
00:54:13,798 --> 00:54:15,798
homelessness.

1404
00:54:15,966 --> 00:54:16,201
Who intersect with other

1405
00:54:16,201 --> 00:54:17,135
systems.

1406
00:54:17,135 --> 00:54:19,700
We also as you know are dealing

1407
00:54:19,700 --> 00:54:21,138
with a state law that prohibits

1408
00:54:21,138 --> 00:54:22,940
overnight camping and sleeping

1409
00:54:22,940 --> 00:54:23,941
and that's changed the way we

1410
00:54:23,941 --> 00:54:24,750
do street outreach.

1411
00:54:24,750 --> 00:54:26,100
E've

1412
00:54:26,100 --> 00:54:27,913
incorporated a homeless

1413
00:54:27,913 --> 00:54:29,914
reporting tool so we work with

1414
00:54:29,914 --> 00:54:31,149
constituent services to field

1415
00:54:31,149 --> 00:54:33,840
complaints about homelessness

1416
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:34,986
in your districts those get

1417
00:54:34,986 --> 00:54:36,355
entered into the homeless

1418
00:54:36,355 --> 00:54:38,230
reporting tool and that

1419
00:54:38,230 --> 00:54:39,910
immediately dispatches an

1420
00:54:39,910 --> 00:54:40,959
outreach team to be first on

1421
00:54:40,959 --> 00:54:42,928
the scene, offer a menu of

1422
00:54:42,928 --> 00:54:44,295
services, prevent arrests and

1423
00:54:44,295 --> 00:54:45,930
coordinate with other

1424
00:54:45,930 --> 00:54:48,000
departments be it solid waste,

1425
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:49,969
transit, code compliance to try

1426
00:54:49,969 --> 00:54:51,937
to address the issue because as

1427
00:54:51,937 --> 00:54:53,906
you know state law includes a

1428
00:54:53,906 --> 00:54:55,140
provision that a county or any

1429
00:54:55,140 --> 00:54:56,943
municipality and be sued if an

1430
00:54:56,943 --> 00:54:58,943
issue isn't remediated.

1431
00:55:03,449 --> 00:55:03,649
Fielded 526 reports in the last

1432
00:55:03,649 --> 00:55:05,517
year.

1433
00:55:05,517 --> 00:55:07,453
Obviously we are laser focused

1434
00:55:07,453 --> 00:55:08,554
on using unsheltered

1435
00:55:08,554 --> 00:55:09,689
homelessness.

1436
00:55:09,689 --> 00:55:11,490
While we do have 25 people on

1437
00:55:11,490 --> 00:55:13,492
any given day and we are

1438
00:55:13,492 --> 00:55:15,427
scaling up short-term capacity

1439
00:55:15,427 --> 00:55:16,529
we need to be able to exit

1440
00:55:16,529 --> 00:55:16,863
people in short-term

1441
00:55:16,863 --> 00:55:18,631
destinations.

1442
00:55:18,631 --> 00:55:19,866
In order to keep the flow

1443
00:55:19,866 --> 00:55:21,567
moving so that those

1444
00:55:21,567 --> 00:55:23,503
individuals who are becoming

1445
00:55:23,503 --> 00:55:25,504
homeless are returning and able

1446
00:55:25,504 --> 00:55:26,673
to catch them as part of their

1447
00:55:26,673 --> 00:55:28,642
safety net services.

1448
00:55:28,642 --> 00:55:31,177
We need priority access for low

1449
00:55:31,177 --> 00:55:32,378
income people to exit into the

1450
00:55:32,378 --> 00:55:33,346
community into deeply

1451
00:55:33,346 --> 00:55:35,315
affordable units.

1452
00:55:35,315 --> 00:55:37,251
I talked about serving seniors

1453
00:55:37,251 --> 00:55:39,219
on fixed incomes as well as

1454
00:55:39,219 --> 00:55:40,353
disabled individuals who are

1455
00:55:40,353 --> 00:55:41,221
getting a check for $950 a

1456
00:55:41,221 --> 00:55:42,422
month.

1457
00:55:42,422 --> 00:55:44,457
There's not a lot you can do

1458
00:55:44,457 --> 00:55:46,460
with a one bedroom apartment at

1459
00:55:46,460 --> 00:55:47,361
$1800 when your total income is

1460
00:55:47,361 --> 00:55:49,361
$950 a month.

1461
00:55:49,396 --> 00:55:50,464
One of the things we are trying

1462
00:55:50,464 --> 00:55:51,465
to do better is work across

1463
00:55:51,465 --> 00:55:53,400
with other systems.

1464
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,301
We have a great partnership

1465
00:55:55,301 --> 00:55:56,503
going on with jackson with

1466
00:55:56,503 --> 00:55:59,503
people all our high utilizers

1467
00:56:11,986 --> 00:56:13,921
of their system and enter the

1468
00:56:13,921 --> 00:56:15,890
hospital system, we are

1469
00:56:15,890 --> 00:56:16,992
coordinating with them to try

1470
00:56:16,992 --> 00:56:18,193
to triage those people who

1471
00:56:18,193 --> 00:56:20,940
might just be cycling through

1472
00:56:20,940 --> 00:56:21,896
our various systems, forging

1473
00:56:21,896 --> 00:56:22,964
closer partnerships with

1474
00:56:22,964 --> 00:56:24,866
corrections and all the

1475
00:56:24,866 --> 00:56:26,866
different departments that

1476
00:56:26,901 --> 00:56:28,403
intersect with homelessness

1477
00:56:28,403 --> 00:56:30,500
including our investment of

1478
00:56:30,500 --> 00:56:31,720
$2.4 million into the mental

1479
00:56:31,720 --> 00:56:32,974
health center.

1480
00:56:32,974 --> 00:56:34,542
Our goal is to add at least a

1481
00:56:34,542 --> 00:56:35,109
thousand units and we are well

1482
00:56:35,109 --> 00:56:36,945
on our way.

1483
00:56:36,945 --> 00:56:38,113
There's some data points in the

1484
00:56:38,113 --> 00:56:40,113
presentation before you.

1485
00:56:40,882 --> 00:56:42,500
I think with technology I would

1486
00:56:42,500 --> 00:56:44,180
echo what some of the other

1487
00:56:44,180 --> 00:56:45,854
directors said, we need systems

1488
00:56:45,854 --> 00:56:47,890
able to talk to each other

1489
00:56:47,890 --> 00:56:49,580
because we are all working I

1490
00:56:49,580 --> 00:56:50,859
think in silos but our people

1491
00:56:50,859 --> 00:56:52,600
are crossing over into other

1492
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,660
systems so we need to be

1493
00:56:56,332 --> 00:56:58,300
creating a data warehouse and

1494
00:56:58,300 --> 00:57:00,369
pulling those elements we know

1495
00:57:00,369 --> 00:57:01,570
are of concern and trying to

1496
00:57:01,570 --> 00:57:03,505
prioritize those households.

1497
00:57:03,505 --> 00:57:05,540
It's not only a financial

1498
00:57:05,540 --> 00:57:07,543
savings, it's the compassionate

1499
00:57:07,543 --> 00:57:09,312
thing to do for the people most

1500
00:57:09,312 --> 00:57:10,479
in need and I'll wrap it up

1501
00:57:10,479 --> 00:57:12,315
there MADAME Chair.

1502
00:57:12,315 --> 00:57:14,316
>>chair: thank you for your

1503
00:57:14,316 --> 00:57:15,484
presentation, any comments or

1504
00:57:15,484 --> 00:57:17,884
questions from my colleagues?

1505
00:57:18,321 --> 00:57:19,622
Vice chair you are recognized.

1506
00:57:19,622 --> 00:57:21,457
>>commissioner mcghee: wanted

1507
00:57:21,457 --> 00:57:23,326
to say thank you so much

1508
00:57:23,326 --> 00:57:25,327
director malette for what

1509
00:57:25,327 --> 00:57:26,596
you've done, full faith in you.

1510
00:57:26,596 --> 00:57:28,565
Every time our office reached

1511
00:57:28,565 --> 00:57:30,299
out you were always willing to

1512
00:57:30,299 --> 00:57:31,801
take the call and provide

1513
00:57:31,801 --> 00:57:33,403
housing for these families so

1514
00:57:33,403 --> 00:57:34,437
thank you so much.

1515
00:57:34,437 --> 00:57:35,471
>>chair: anyone else?

1516
00:57:35,471 --> 00:57:37,307
Great job.

1517
00:57:37,307 --> 00:57:39,707
Great job, great presentation

1518
00:57:40,477 --> 00:57:41,378
and let me state that your job

1519
00:57:41,378 --> 00:57:42,345
is not easy.

1520
00:57:42,345 --> 00:57:43,813
It is most difficult job

1521
00:57:43,813 --> 00:57:46,813
especially in these days where

1522
00:57:49,719 --> 00:57:50,530
we are seeing new breeds of

1523
00:57:50,530 --> 00:57:52,530
homelessness.

1524
00:57:53,557 --> 00:57:55,692
No longer are the homeless or

1525
