(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.

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.

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

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).
