(Thereupon, the following proceedings
were had:)
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Mr. Clerk?
Robert, go ahead, let's call the roll.
MR. ALFARO: Good afternoon. This is
the 2014 certification of the tax roll of
the Value Adjustment Board.
Today is April 28th.
We have present Commissioner Diaz,
Mr. Anibal Duarte-Viera, Mr. Hani Jardack,
citizen members, and Ms. Raquel Regalado
representing the School Board.
Mr. Blanco, VAB Attorney.
MR. BLANCO: You saved me a little
time there.
Members of the Board, Mr. Property
Appraiser, Mr. Ruvin, Mr. Deputy Clerk --
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Before you
continue.
Mr. Ruvin, I want to light you up
real fast to give us a very good
announcement. Because I think that this
announcement, with all due respect, I want
to make sure we get it at the start of
everything before you go into the agenda.

I know we want to get out fast.
MR. RUVIN: Very quickly,
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Board,
thank you for convening this meeting to
look at the rolls and to consider approval
of it. We're very proud to tell you, I've
been informed by my Manager, staff of this
operation, Robert Alfaro, that we are
61 percent completed with all the appeals.
Last year at this time we were one
percent. So clearly we're way ahead of
our schedule, and we'll be able to
finished on time.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Good job.
MR. RUVIN: And our effort there is
going to benefit a lot of people, but
certainly, I think it takes the School
Board out of the jeopardy that you've been
in the past.
So we're very pleased to announce
that.
MS. REGALADO: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: That's actually
great news. Thank you.
Pedro Garcia is here, our Property

Appraiser, and also -- introduce your team
so we know who is who.
MR. GARCIA: Good afternoon to
everybody.
I've got to my right my Deputy, Laz
Solis, and our Attorney Jorge.
MR. MARTINEZ-ESTEVE: Jorge
Martinez-Esteve, and Daija Lifshitz,
Assistant County Attorneys here on behalf
of Mr. Garcia.
MR. RUVIN: Mr. Chairman, if I may.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Sure.
MR. RUVIN: Since we did the
introductions, I want to acknowledge for
the record my Senior Deputy, Mark Martinez
is here, and my Chief of Staff, Michael
Henderson is here, and we have other
members of our staff here as well to
support the effort.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Okay. So with
that, Mr. Attorney?
Thank you for such great news at the
start of this hopefully very fast, fast
meeting.
MR. BLANCO: Yes, it will be, sir.

Mr. Diaz, you are aware that you're
going to be acting Chairperson for today's
purposes?
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Yes.
MR. BLANCO: Okay. Thank you, sir.
All right. Let's start with this.
This is a required meeting for the
certification of the 2014 tax roll with no
further agenda items.
I'm happy to announce our 2015, which
Mr. Ruvin, you know, also elaborated to,
the 2015 tax roll certification should be
coming up this summer, which will finally
bring us up to date.
The first two items on the agenda are
regarding the certification of the tax
roll.
The remaining item is to approve and
authorize the publication of 2014 Tax
Impact Notice. And afterwards, any such
business as may properly be brought from
the Board.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Okay.
MR. BLANCO: This meeting is in
accordance with the government in sunshine

manual under G1(A)(3), and we are in
compliance.
The meeting appears to be mostly for
discussion of the items listed on the
agenda provided to you.
There has also been only one written
request to speak from the public at this
Board meeting. And this is from Ms. Wendy
Beck, although there may be other agents
present at the meeting.
The time allowed for any speaker, if
necessary, is totally up to your
discretion. I would suggest a time limit
of maybe two minutes. Correct.
Okay. I'm looking at the agenda. If
you want to go into it already.
Item Number 1.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Excuse me. The
person who wants to speak is here?
MR. BLANCO: Ms. Beck, do you want to
speak at this point or after?
MS. BECK: No.
MR. BLANCO: Not at all, right?
MS. BECK: Not at all.
MR. BLANCO: Okay. Thank you.

COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Agenda, please.
first item.
MR. BLANCO: Okay.
First item.
Consideration and adoption of
recommendations of Special Magistrates as
the written decisions of the VAB for the
remaining uncertified property assessments
(folios) for the 2014 tax year.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Okay.
MR. BLANCO: Mr. Chairman, at this
time the special magistrates make
recommendations when they hear cases. The
way the law works on this, is that the
Board, by motion, adopts these
recommendations, and they become final
written decisions of the Board.
We will need a resolution for this
item.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: We will need a
resolution drawn up.
MS. REGALADO: So moved.
MR. DUARTE-VIERA: Second.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Okay, so I have a
motion, I have a second.

All in favor, say aye.
THE BOARD MEMBERS COLLECTIVELY: Aye.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Any opposed?
None. Let the clerk put that in.
MR. BLANCO: Right.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Thank you.
MR. BLANCO: Item 2, Mr. Chairperson,
is the final certification of the 2014 tax
year as to the assessments initially
certified on an unadjusted basis on
October 23, 2013 (sic) and for the
hearings which are being heard today,
April 28th, 2016.
The last thing we must do in this
case is to any tax appeal list of final
certification of tax rolls.
So we're being asked to approve that
today. There will be two. One for real
property, and the other one for personal
property.
So if we can have -- Mr. Alfaro, do
we have the certifications?
MR. ALFARO: Yes.
MR. BLANCO: You already gave them?
MR. ALFARO: Yes.

COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Okay.
MR. BLANCO: Approve and authorize
the publication of 2014 Tax Impact Notice.
I believe, Mr. Alfaro, you all have a
copy of that as well. And this is a
required notice that we merely need a
motion.

make this a short meeting, but I just want
to put this on the record. Our next
meeting is not going to be short, kids.
The bill to change the makeup of the VAB
was approved in Tallahassee this session.
We have to talk about it. We have to talk
about what's going to happen. We have to
talk about our manual, and our procedures.
There are certain things that we need to
change in there. I'm going to be talking
to Manny about it.
So I hope that at our next meeting we
can get that all done, because the law
goes into effect July 1st. So the next
meeting is going to be a little bit
longer, but I think that we can get
through it if everyone goes through the
documents before.
But just in case, I don't want to
restart this whole thing when we have new
members post July. And I know that the
summer is difficult enough as it is. So I
just want to put that on the record.
Thank you.
MR. BLANCO: It will be a lot longer,

by the way.
MS. REGALADO: I'm just putting it
out there. Putting it out there.
MR. BLANCO: I'm expecting input from
all of you so that we can put it in our
next meeting's agenda. Whatever you want
to include in it, you know, please let me
know in time, because we do have to
advertise it.
MS. REGALADO: Right. The only thing
that I'm going to say on the record, and
I'll end it with that, thank you,
Mr. Chairman, is I know that there was
money allocated in the budget for a new
software system. I know that Commissioner
Diaz talked about taking it to the County
Commission. I would just like to know
where that is, and if we're going to talk
about it, because that was sort of the
last pending thing. That and the manual
is sort of what's lingering from our
previous meetings.
MR. BLANCO: That will be taken care
of.
MS. REGALADO: Thank you.

COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Okay. Another
thing on the issue. Make sure that
Commissioner Zapata or Chairman Zapata
gets all the information ahead of time. I
think he'll be chairing the next one.
When is the meeting?
MR. BLANCO: We're hoping to have it
some time in July.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Okay. It's all
the way in July. All right. Just wanted
to make sure.
With that --
MS. REGALADO: That's a problem.
The law goes into effect July 1st.
So that means that we'll have a new
member? Are we going to do it without --
because one Commissioner rotates off, and
I think we need to meet before that law
takes into effect July 1st.
MR. BLANCO: Well, we're planning on
certifying. If you need to meet again,
before the certification we may do that.
And then our certification will just be 10
minutes long like this one if you want to
have a separate meeting. But we're not

going to be able to certify 2015 until
somewhere mid July or so, hopefully.
MS. REGALADO: Right. I understand,
Manny. But I'm saying that the issues
that are pending from our prior meeting,
the manual, the software, everything
that's been lingering at this point, I
would like to resolve before July 1st.
Because what's going to happen is,
July 1st, a Commissioner will rotate off
this Board, and we will have a new member,
and I don't want to start everything
again.
MR. BLANCO: All over again.
MS. REGALADO: Because whoever comes
on is going to want to start from, you
know, from the beginning.
So that's my only point.
MR. BLANCO: We can convene a special
meeting like we did all last year. We had
several.
MS. REGALADO: Okay.
MR. BLANCO: That's not an issue. If
anyone wants to --
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: We're good.

Just tell me the composition change
under the State law. What is it? One
Commissioner comes off?
MS. REGALADO: Yes.
MR. BLANCO: Right. They rotate.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: I concur with
Member Regalado. Let's call a meeting
prior to that happening so we could get
through this inside-out, because every
single one of us has already spoken on it,
whether it's myself or Commissioner Zapata
or maybe whoever else could be here, it
will start all over. I totally agree with
her.
MR. BLANCO: Yes, sir.
Lazaro, you want to add something?
MR. SOLIS: Yes, if I may.
We need to verify, but I'm under the
impression that the composition of the
Board was taken out in the last revision
of the Bill. So that did not pass in the
final Bill.
We can confirm. We can go back and
confirm, but my understanding is that that
provision did not get signed by the

Governor. It was amended out in the last
committee.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Manny, do you
have any information on that?
MR. BLANCO: No, sir, I don't. I'm
relying on his statement. Now, if --
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: If Lazaro says
something, that's pretty much what it is.
So then there's no --
MS. REGALADO: Check it, because we
were told by the School Board something
different. So not to interrupt, but we
were told something different.
So, again, go back to whatever was
finally signed by the Governor.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: So the final
version, it stays the same?
MR. SOLIS: My understanding is,
based on final version of the Bill as it
passed and signed by the Governor, did not
include any changes to the composition of
the Board.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Okay. Therefore,
if it has no changes and everything is the
same, then we'll go accordingly to July as

needed so you could have everything in
order and properly set before us.
MR. BLANCO: I will.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: As far as the
program is concerned, I know that you've
been working on that. Can you give me an
update on it.
MR. MARTINEZ: Sure, Commissioner.
At this point the scope of work has been
done by ITD. It has been reviewed by our
operations. The Property Appraiser has
reviewed it also. So we're looking at
that right now in management before we
hand that over for legal sufficiency, and
then procurement can take place.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Okay. So it's
still under procurement?
MR. MARTINEZ: Yes. Once it gets
procurement, then our group will meet and
have a recommendation for the Board.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: I think what
Member Regalado was asking for is more or
less a target date as to when you guys are
ready. Am I correct?
MS. REGALADO: Right. And the reason

is, I know we have certain magistrates
that are rotating off, and we're going to
be hiring magistrates, so I want to have
all that in place before we start again.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: And, actually, we
all stated the same thing. All of us --
all five of us when we were talking this.
So if we could try to expedite it and get
that, you know, within July and make sure
we hit all -- since we're going to have
one meeting that's going to be dealing
with everything pretty much, I think it's
our big meeting, per se, let's go ahead
and put it all into that.
Maybe by then procurement has gone
through their process, even though it's
your process, which is different from --
where all we did is add the part of
visualizing and helping you and technology
and everything else. Am I correct?
MR. MARTINEZ: To a certain point the
committee that you establish will make a
recommendation and ultimately the Board
will decide on which system.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: On which vendor

we will take, but that's the final
decision? Am I correct, Lazaro?
MR. SOLIS: Yes. As one of committee
members, let me -- and with some
experience in prior procurements, let me
try to set some expectations. The RFP
and all the technicalities, legalese,
et cetera, are under final review. That
should be done in short order.
What I mean by that is, I would say
probably in the next couple of weeks.
The next step is to advertise the RFP
to solicit vendors in submitting
proposals. Once the proposals have been
received, they will be evaluated by the
Committee, and then a recommendation will
come back to this Board from that
Committee as to which vendor the Board
would like to select.
At that point the Board then will
make a selection based on the Committee's
recommendations, and a vendor is selected
to then start the implementation process
of the new system.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Okay. Upon

selection -- we all got that. That's the
same whether it's School Board, us or just
a normal company that's doing it. Prior
to that, has ISD (sic) already put their
input and the companies are being
selected?
MR. SOLIS: Okay. The bid itself,
the RFP has not gone out yet. The
requirements are being drafted.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: So it's a
selected bid or a totally open RFP?
MR. SOLIS: It's a totally open RFP.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: RSI -- what was
it?
MR. SOLIS: It's going out in the
form of a RFP, request for proposal.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Okay. So it's
open to anybody that --
MR. SOLIS: It's open to all vendors.
An advertisement will be made. It will
follow all the procurement guidelines.
Once the sealed proposals are submitted to
the Committee, they will be reviewed and
weighted with the point system, very
similar to any other process, and then a

recommendation will be made to this Board.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Would the
recommendation to us would be -- or the
court -- would be done based on the group
of people including -- and we're asking
these questions so we don't have to deal
with it later.
MR. SOLIS: No, correct.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: For instance,
your Board that's going to be reviewing --
there was one Board to put the RFP
together.
MR. SOLIS: That's the Committee.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: That's the
Committee.
MR. SOLIS: And it's made up of five
members of the various agencies, which is
great.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Now, that's
the -- you know and we all know, that then
comes the second process to make sure that
all those commitments and everything that
was asked for in the RFP gets certified
that they are what they are. And then the
lowest possible price placed on that

certification.
MR. SOLIS: Correct. That would be
the third step.
The first step is getting the RFP out
and reviewing the proposals.
The second step is bringing to this
Board a recommendation of which vendor to
negotiate with.
So let's say the Board says go with
Vendor B --
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: And negotiate
with that vendor.
MR. SOLIS: Then once the Board gives
the Committee the authorization to
negotiate an agreement with Vendor B then
a final contract will be dawn up, a
proposal, which will be brought to the
Board for final ratification of that
commitment.
That's where you outline the terms
and conditions of the agreement.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Okay, but you
said Vendor B.
MR. SOLIS: Well it can be Vendor A,
Vendor. I'm just saying that a vendor

will meet qualifications and the price
limit.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: It could be
Vendor A, and we're good to go.
MR. SOLIS: Correct.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: If not it goes
into separate negotiations.
MR. SOLIS: Correct.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: That is done by
the Board in itself, not us.
MR. SOLIS: By the Committee.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: The Committee,
I'm sorry. I call it the Board.
MR. SOLIS: The Value Adjustment
Board will authorize the Committee to
enter into negotiations with whatever
vendor the Board has already selected.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Okay, we're good.
So long as the process is done on both
ends, I'm good with that.
MS. REGALADO: Okay. Just really
quick, just really quick. And again,
thank you for explaining the RFP process.
But, you know, my concern is to mold that
into our deadlines, okay. So we're going

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COURT REPORTERS, INC. (305) 373-5600

to meet July 1st. From what you said, by
July 1st are you going to have a
recommendation to this Board, because it
sounded like a no.
MR. BLANCO: Wait, I didn't say July
1st. I said sometime in July.
MS. REGALADO: Well, sometime in
July. So by sometime in July, whatever
that is, are you going to have a
recommendation, a final recommendation
from the committee regarding the vendors
to us? How long are you going to leave
the RFP open?
MR. SOLIS: I would have to defer to
the procurement staff. I believe that
there is a standard acceptable practice in
terms of how long you put it out.
Let's say, hypothetically, and please
don't quote me on this. Let's say it's
two weeks. So if the proposal goes out,
the RFP goes out on, let's say, May 15th.
Then two weeks puts it, let's say June
1st. Then the Committee should be able to
come back within four weeks or five weeks
with a recommendation in terms of which

vendor to negotiate with.
So, theoretically, between now and
sometime in July, you should have before
you a recommendation based on the
proposals that were submitted. So that
the Board could -- the Value Adjustment
Board could then authorize the Committee
to do the final negotiations on price and
terms, and do a final selection.
MS. REGALADO: Okay. So I want that
to be clear on record.
Manny, when are you hiring -- when
are we going to be interviewing new
magistrates for the next cycle?
MR. BLANCO: That will start roughly
around August or so.
MS. REGALADO: Okay. So you see what
I'm saying about the timing, right? So if
we, if this process pushes out past July.
Let's say that mid July you come back to
us with some recommendations, we pick a
vendor, we authorize you to renegotiate
with that vendor. We then have to
purchase that, right?
Now we're smack in the middle of

budget for the County Commission, and then
a few weeks later, Manny is going to be
interviewing magistrates.
I want whoever Manny interviews to be
a magistrate to understand whatever
platform we're going to be using. Right?
That's kind of important.
I'm just putting it in perspective.
I know that it's a complicated process,
and it has its own, you know, identity,
but I want to ensure that we're not a year
behind. Because what will happen is, if
we don't figure this out by mid August
when we're interviewing new magistrates,
we're going to be playing catch up for a
while there.
So we've been talking about this for
a long time. You know, and again, I'm the
first one to push for best practices. But
can we move it along a little so that it
could come back to us in July, and we can
ensure that by the time we get to August,
that we at least have a platform that we
can tell people when we interview them
that they're going to be required to know

how to use.
That's all.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Point taken.
Please adjust accordingly, and let's
just look for the best possible solution
as stated.
With that, I don't want to get stuck
here with the corporate run. So any other
questions? Are we good to go?
MR. BLANCO: I believe we're good to
go.
COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Meeting is
adjourned. Thank you everybody.
(Thereupon at 4:12 p.m. the meeting was
concluded).
