Centorino, Executive Director Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust Re: Miami-Dade County's Honor Code and ethics training Mr. Centorino explained the importance of having the ethics training and said that it will be for all City employees. Vice Mayor Holmes said that he was not for the training when the item was put on the agenda at the last meeting because it has been ineffective in the past. He is supporting the item today. Mr. Centorino said that Opa-locka needs the assistance of the county and should have the assistance of the county. Commissioner Riley said that the honor code goes in conflict with the City Charter and will need to be amended. City Attorney Brown said that if it is the will of the commission, the City will work with Mr. Centorino to come up with the proper wording for the honor code. Commissioner Kelley said that he is shocked at the sudden positive response since he had sponsored the item at the last meeting and it was voted down unanimously, now everyone is happy about it. He said that if an item is good for the City then it does not matter who sponsored it.

CITIZENS' INPUT: Alvin Burke, 1240 Jann Avenue, congratulated Commissioner Riley on his appointment to the City Commission. He said that he wants to know why the City is getting ready to pay for a contracted employee to receive training. He said that this person makes twenty dollars ($20.00) an hour and should be paying for it out of their own pocket if the training is needed. If they were hired as a contractor they should already have the experience to do the work. They also should not be driving a City vehicle. A certified Code Enforcement officer was let go and someone was brought in that does not even have the experience. This is not right. Chris Roberts, 2260 Service Road, said that if the residents have a problem with the commission they take it personal. If they want to be treated like adults then they should act like adults. Mayor Taylor told Ms. Roberts that she should not talk about the commission; she should address concerns regarding the City. Ms. Roberts walked away from the podium. Regular Commission Meeting Minutes—6/22/2016 4 Eric Redmon said that the Acting City Manager has the qualifications to work in the position of city manager. He said that the Finance Director does not know what she is doing and needs to be demoted or terminated. Steven Barrett, 633 Sharar Avenue, said that he is happy to see the ethics training being passed for employees, it will be beneficial. He said that as citizens, people should watch what they say about others. It is a sad day when someone is told that their head is wanted on a silver platter. That is not right. Some of the people that are talking are benefitting from contracts that were made by the City. He thanked Mr. Centorino for coming and presenting the ethic training. Keslin Sanon, 1256 Burlington Street, said that his water bill is too high and not being read properly. Mayor Taylor asked that someone from the manager's office meet with Mr. Sanon regarding his water bill issue. Commissioner Riley said that a person should go through the process before coming before the commission regarding these types of issues. He said that citizens forum needs to be revised because people are talking about things that are out of order. Mayor Taylor said that she allows the residents of Opa-locka to speak on any issues that they may have without prejudice. Commissioner Santiago agreed with the mayor that residents should be allowed to speak freely on any situation or issues they may have, especially when there is a serious issue with the water bills. There being no persons to speak, Mayor Taylor closed the floor for citizens input. 12. ACTION ITEMS: 1 (13-1). A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF OPA- LOCKA, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE BROWN LAW GROUP, LLC, TO DEFEND THE LAWSUIT BROUGHT IN THOMAS MARKO VS THE CITY OF OPA-LOCKA, FLORIDA, E-FILING # 41780022 (EXHIBIT "A"); PROVIDING FOR INCORPORATION OF RECITALS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Sponsored by City Attorney The above resolution was read by Attorney Brown. It was moved by Vice Mayor Holmes, seconded by Commissioner Kelley for discussion. Commissioner Kelley said that he had mentioned in a previous meeting that a cap be put in place when defending lawsuits. Because of the financial situation, the City cannot afford to pay to defend these lawsuits. He said that he did not pull two, but they fall in the same category. There needs to be a cap on litigation. City Attorney Brown said that he cannot explain putting a cap in place because there is not set proceedings on litigating cases as each case is different. Regular Commission Meeting Minutes—6/22/2016 5 Commissioner Kelley said that there should be a cap since the city attorney has already delayed payments that will be absorbed into next year's budget and the budget has not been created yet. Commissioner Riley said that an executive session needs to be had to get clarity on what litigation is being brought to the commission in these cases. City Attorney Brown said that he understands what Commissioner Kelley is asking. He said that in the fast moving world of litigation, putting a cap on cases will put him in a tight spot. If a cap is in place and he has reached it before the case is over, he cannot stop litigation because it is against the law and he can lose his license. He said that he has a duty to continue working on the cases regardless of timeliness of payment. Commissioner Santiago said that there will be more lawsuits to come and he wants information on having an in house attorney. There being no further discussion, the motion on the resolution passed by a 5-0 vote.

Sponsored by Vice Mayor Holmes The above resolution was read by Attorney Brown. It was moved by Commissioner Riley, seconded by Vice Mayor Holmes for discussion. Vice Mayor Holmes said that he did not realize the hardship that the employees would be facing as a result of the 32 hour work week. He said that staff has been calling him and coming to his office to complain about the hardship they are facing from the reduction in work hours. Commissioner Kelley said that he is confused because it sounds like the vice mayor is talking about a whole different resolution. Commissioner Riley said that if it is a whole new resolution then the vice mayor will have to bring it back at another meeting. Vice Mayor Holmes said if that is the case then they have been conducting meetings wrong in the past. He said that they have changed existing resolutions before and this one should be no different from the others. City Attorney Brown said that this is true and the resolution can be amended and voted on tonight. Regular Commission Meeting Minutes—6/22/2016 6 The resolution was amended as follows: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF OPA-LOCKA, FLORIDA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NUMBER 16-9186 (32 HOUR/4 DAY WORK WEEK) TO PROVIDE A SUNSET PROVISION OF JULY 13, 2016; PROVIDING FOR INCORPORATION OF RECITALS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Sponsored by Vice Mayor Holmes The above resolution was read by Attorney Brown. It was moved by Vice Mayor Holmes, seconded by Commissioner Kelley for discussion. Commissioner Kelley said that everyone knows that he was never for this item in the first place and wants to be sure of the amended date so that he can support it. Acting City Manager Harrell advised the commission that a letter has to be sent to the governor informing him of this change as it will affect the budget. She said that even if it is voted on today, the board has the authority to deny the legislation. City Attorney Brown said that the item will be voted on tonight by this board and then sent to the oversight board.

Regular Commission Meeting Minutes—6/22/2016 7 Mayor Taylor said that she does not have a problem with the sick and annual leave because it is already set, but she has a problem with the manager developing his/her own benefits package. She said that the manager and the clerk have separate functions and should not be creating their own packages. City Attorney Brown said that the purpose of the resolution is to have a package developed and presented to the commission for review and approval. Mayor Taylor said that should not be so. Commissioner Santiago agreed with the mayor. Commissioner Riley proposed to amend the resolution. Commissioner Kelley said that he is concerned with the payouts received by Mr. Chiverton and after speaking with the attorney he was told that there is no policy in place regarding payouts for elected officials. He wants a package and policy put in place to avoid this kind of situation in the future. Mayor Taylor made a motion to reach out to the league and have them gather the information to be provided to the commission to compile a benefits package for the appointed officials. Commissioner Riley said that the package cannot be uniform because the positions are different and cannot be the same. Commissioner Kelley said that he will defer the item until the next meeting since there are unanswered questions. He reminded the commission that since there is currently no provision in place, it leaves the city vulnerable in case anyone wanted to do what Mr. Chiverton did. Mayor Taylor asked Commissioner Kelley to take on the task of developing the packages since he feels so strongly about it. Vice Mayor Holmes said that Commissioner Kelley has deferred the item and they need to move forward. If they have to find someone on the outside to do the work then so be it, but they need to move forward with the meeting. City Attorney Brown said that since he is not affected by the resolution, he will volunteer to prepare a benefits package for the appointed officers. He proposed that an amendment be made to reflect this. Commissioner Kelley said that he agrees to the amendment.
