You know your way around here and you're a bright guy maybe smarter than all of us here. But you 're one guy, so you need help in that office. So please don 't be shy in going to the Administration and requesting whatever you need right away because you deserve that. Your district deserves it. Commissioner Watson: Thank you, Commissioner. Commissioner Reyes: And 1 want to offer also nay office. If you need anybody or anything that you need from my office, feel free to do it. You see, we're all here all to help each other and try to do the best that we can. Commissioner Watson: Thank you, Commissioner. Commissioner Reyes: Just feel free to just call any of my assistants and they will be there. You and I, we cannot talk -- well, we can talk about certain things, you know. Commissioner Carollo: Well, the one thing I'll say about Commissioner Reyes' office, they have the best cortadito, you know. Commissioner Reyes: They're making it now. Vice Chair Russell: All right. Well, you're Miami smart, he's Tallahassee smart, 1 think we 're going to learn what Washington smart looks like pretty soon. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: We have enough smarts to go around, so we're good to go. Commissioner Reyes: Well, yeah. Vice Chair Russell: Commissioners, are there any other items you'd like to see deferred, continued, or withdrawn? Are there any pocket items that would like to be entered today? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I was waiting for PZ.14. I'm sorry I had to step outside. Vice Chair Russell: Yes. We're not going to vote yet. Jeremy, you're recognized. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yes. I'm sorry, I had to step outside for a phone call. Jeremy Calleros Gauger: Good morning, Jeremy Calleros Gauger Interim Director of Planning Department. You had a question regarding PZ.14? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yes, sir. So, walk me through it. Mr. Gauger: Give me just a moment. Commissioner Carollo: This one, you should look at, Commissioner Watson, because your predecessor was sponsoring, so I think it will have a big impact in your district. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yes, an important one. Commissioner Watson: Yeah. City of Miami Page 6 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: We're not going to give you any tips, but we're going to give you tips anyway along the way. Is that okay? But you can't take off your mask today by the way. We'11 recognize you. Commissioner Watson: Let Inc just say that was on my note, so I'm not so sure, so I'll ask this question. If we'll get -- if this discussion is going to enlighten us or should I defer it in order to be enlightened because I had a note that I wanted to defer it to understand what it was. Commissioner Carollo: This is no problem. You don't have to explain. You have a right to -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: You have the right -- yeah. Commissioner Carollo: Yeah. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: The Commissioner is correct. I mean, go ahead and enlighten us, and we'll take it from there, right? Mr. Gauger: Yes. So, this is the item regarding non -conforming structures that are built with a single purpose. And we have a couple of items and questions that we wanted to work out with the City Attorney, so we were asking for a deferral to the loth. Vice Chair Russell: So, the department's asking for the deferral. Commissioner Watson: Yes. Mr. Gauger: Correct. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But that's not the question. Mr. Gauger: Sorry? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That's not the question. The question is walk me through the item. Mr. Gauger: Walk you through the item? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah. Mr. Gauger: So, there are certain structures -- older structures in the City that were built with single purpose, for instance, the Marine Stadium is one. Although there 's also small apartment buildings that are now in front of T3-O, T3 neighborhoods, which are really built single purpose structures and they could apply to continue that use through an exception process. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, if I may, Mr. Chair. So, tell me what PZ.14 is really about. Mr. Gauger: PZ.4 is about -- it certainly applies to the Marine Stadium, but not exclusively, -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Of course, it does. Mr. Gauger: -- to the Marine Stadium. City of Miami Page 7 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But it applies to it. Tell me how it applies to the Marine Stadium. Mr. Gauger: So, because it's a structure that clearly has a single purpose, it would be very difficult to re purpose that structure. It's in CS zoning, which doesn't allow fir the large gatherings that are that -- what that structure was built for. So, this would allow them -- allow the City, in this case, to apply for an exception to come back and ask for that use to be allowed in the CS zone. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right, so if 1 may. Vice Chair Russell: Of course. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, if we're looking at the entire area, right? We had this conversation a couple of days ago, right? So, we 're looking at the entire area, how we build world -class marinas, and we build world -class destinations, right? Mr. Gauger: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: This plays into that, right? Mr. Gauger: It does. And the Virginia -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Well, hold on a second. Mr. Gauger: Sorry. Commissioner Watson: How does it play into it? Mr. Gauger: So, the Virginia -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Walk me through that. Mr. Gauger: So, the Virginia Key Master Plan, and particularly for that zone, contemplates the marina more or less in the footprint where it exists now. Substantial increase in size. That is actually pretty far from the Marine Stadium. I think it's more than a thousand feet, if memory serves. So, you actually have a boat ramp and then a considerable open space, and then the Marine Stadium. All of the plans that have been adopted by the City thus far contemplate repurposing the Marine Stadium, reactivating it and then with the marina in that footprint. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, within that footprint, there's a $45 million allocation, right? Mr. Gauger: I believe so. Although -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, tell me about that -- walk inc through that allocation. Mr. Gauger: The allocation, I would ask for some support from Capital Improvements on. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Are they here? Vice Chair Russell: He is right there. City of Miami Page 8 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: There you ga. Hector Badia: Hi. Good morning, Hector Badia, Office of Capital Improvements, Interim Director. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Talk about the -- because it's all kind of the same picture, right? We kind of need to, I think, look at things in a broader -- with a broader spectrum, right? And -- so tell me about the $45 million for Miami Marine Stadium. Mr. Badia: The bond -- the revenue bond that was allocated towards the stadium -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yes. Mr. Badia: -- is going to be used for the restoration and renovation of the stadium itself That is for -- to renovate for the venue -- an entertainment venue. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I'm not hearing you clearly. Mr. Badia: To renovate it for an entertaininent venue. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: To renovate for entertainment purposes? Mr. Badia: Correct. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. So, does that work? Does the --? Who's doing it? Who's doing the renovation? How -- like kind of be more -- if you can, if you don't mind -- Mr. Badia: The status right now, we are currently -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I like details. Tell me where the $45 million are being spent. Mr. Badia: I'm sorry, Commissioner. I didn't hear you. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Tell me where the $45 million are being spent for Miami Marine stadium. Mr. Badia: They 're being spent -- I'm not sure -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: How? Mr. Badia: How? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah, who. Mr. Badia: We are currently in the final stages of permitting the project. That's why we need the approval from the Code -- Commissioner Carollo: This is one -- Mr. Badia: -- change that we have now. Commissioner Carollo: -- Commissioner, that I think we need to -- Marine Stadium in particularly, -- have a full discussion now that we have a new Commissioner. City of Miami Page 9 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 You're new here also, because -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: 1'rn a rookie, remember. Commissioner Carollo: Well -- Vice Chair Russell: It's been over a year now. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah. I'm like two now. I'm like two, right? Commissioner Carollo: Yeah. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I got a year; I got a good game. Let's see what happens. Commissioner Carollo: He thought he knew it all in Tallahassee until he came in Miami and saw -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah. Commissioner Carollo: -- this is Fast and Furious here. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah. It's horrible, it's horrible, it's horrible. But I love specifics, right. Commissioner Carollo: Yeah, but here's the problem that 1 brought up when this came before, and I still don't understand how we put this bond out without the voters approving it. Because we got to pay for it anyway. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right. Commissioner Carollo: But the problem that 1 have -- and look, I respect both sides of this issue. Neither side is necessarily right or wrong, but the problem that I have is that I haven't seen -- and I kept asking this question from before, before we had a new Manager -- feasibility studies, a five-year plan that would show me if this is going to work or is this going to be another white elephant? I believe it's going to be another white elephant. Anytime that you have a structure such as that -- first of all, that's outdated. It was outdated from the time it was built, because it was built basically for the Budweiser races. When's the last time that we had one now or the boats? It never was a success for concerts, never. It's going to compete with some of our other locations. But more than that, when you have a structure that's built like that, no matter how well we refurbish it, from the very first year after you refurbish it, you're going to have to spend money refurbishing year, after year, after year because you're right on top of the water; especially with the climate change that we're having, the hurricanes, everything else. And then what no one has been able to show me, hey, this is going to work. We're going to be able to have it pay for itself It 's not going to. And then what I was told was that, oh, we were going to finance it from the money we were going to make from this Virginia Key new refurbished marina. We were -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That's the point. Commissioner Carollo: -- going to take money from there to pay for that loss, you know. This doesn't make sense at all. So, I think we, you know, need to revisit this. We need to have an honest conversation between ourselves. I too -- look, when I was a kid, a young teenager, you know, I'd love to go there and see it, and stuff Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Did you ever see -- City of Miami Page 10 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Carollo: But -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- Air Supply there? I saw Air Supply there August 24, back in 1982. Commissioner Carollo: I really don't remember what I saw there, you know. But I don 't want to go there right now. I might get in trouble at home. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But I was a big Air Supply fan, whatever. I'll admit to that. Commissioner Carollo: But you know, we have a new Manager, we have a new administration, we have new Commissioners. We really need to have a frank conversation -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But Commissioner, to your point -- Commissioner Carollo: -- with the facts before us. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- to your point, I asked you a specific question and you did not give me a specific answer. Commissioner Carollo: You realize that now this is how the City is. Nobody gives you a straight answer. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: You know what? Do I have to cite my Tallahassee experience? Commissioner Carollo: Well -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Because the same thing happened in Tallahassee by the way. When you ask people a specific question and you don 't get a specific answer, what's wrong with that, Mr. Manager? Why can't we get a specific answer? I asked a very specific question: Where is the $45 million going to and what are you going to do with it? So, answer the question, specifically. Mr. Badia: 38 million is going for the restoration of the stadium -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: 38 million and the other 7? Mr. Badia: Sorry? Commissioner Watson: The other 7. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: The other 7. Is it 45 or 38? Mr. Badia: 38 -- the bond is 45 million. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I know. Mr. Badia: 38 has been set aside towards the renovation of the stadium. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Be specific. How are you going to renovate it? The structure, the skeleton -- Mr. Badia: We do -- there's a structural renovation required. City of Miami Page 11 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Mr. Badia: There 's -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Who's doing that? Mr. Badia: We haven't selected that. We haven 't gone out to bid for that yet. We are currently in design of the stadium and permitting. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But you already allocated the dollars for it? Mr. Badia: The dollars have been allocated. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, you parked $38 million, but you haven 't selected anybody. It's just parked there, right? Mr. Badia: Correct. We haven 't gone to Procurement yet for the construction. Mr. Noriega: You haven 't issued the debt fbr that yet either? Mr. Badia: Right. Commissioner Carollo: The only real issue that we have with that stadium -- and let me throw this right here so that we are all aware with it -- is that when we did horse trading with the County years back, that we always came with the short end of the stick, I don't know if it was when we gave them the airport, the port, and everything else, so we got Virginia Key, it came with a caveat that we had to keep the stadium there if we were going to have all that land there. But it didn't say that it had to be that particular stadium, that particular size seating. You could actually put hard plastic or another material type, a thousand seats there, whatever, and that would meet the intent of the law. We could always go back to the County and try to take it out altogether if we feel that we don't need any kind of stadium there whatsoever. Yes, this place is a nice historic place, but we have much bigger historic places than that. And one of the examples that I gave when this came up before -- and by the way, if I remember correctly, the first time that this came up when I was here back in this Commission, the original amounts I believe were being discussed were like 54 million or something like that. And even though they tell you 45, they have no idea how much this is truly going to end up costing. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That's a good point. Commissioner Carollo: This is an estimate like the one that Chris Rose gave us, you know, for the budget. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And he's still around? Is Chris around? Commissioner Carollo: But I think we have to have an honest discussion. We have to get true not BS numbers, a live -year feasibility study -- Commissioner Reyes: Absolutely. Commissioner Carollo: -- how much this is really going to cost to operate every year. And let's face it, there's no way -- I don't care what anybody tells me -- that this is going to make money. If it never made money from the beginning, it's not going to make money now. City of Miami Page 12 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: May 1? Vice Chair Russell: Yeah, you're recognized. Commissioner Reyes: I do agree with -- I have been asking for feasibility studies all along. And it's not that -- I don't want an estimate, you see, a rough estimate of how much it's going to cost to be built. I want specific estimates. And also, what source of revenues it's going to generate because what we do -- government -- it's not only us, but it has been the tradition in the City of Miami that we build but we don't maintain because we don't budget for maintenance. What will be the maintenance of keeping that stadium, and how are we going to subsidize if there is a shortfall, you see? From what 1 read -- and if it was right -- the marina was going to subsidize it. The marina was going to pay for it, but the marina is not in play anymore until we find -- we do an RFP and -- which we have to do as soon as possible, okay. That we have to really, when we're going to go -- we're going to undertake, I mean, a job of that magnitude, you see, in order to cover the City of Miami, we need to have specific feasibility studies with projections that they are realistic. And if there is going to be sources of revenue that are going to be redirected to that -- I mean, maintenance of that, we have to be -- they have to be identified, you see. I would like to have that. And by the way, you mentioned the -- (UNINTELLIGIBLE) have this news, maybe Pepe Diaz was named chair -- Commissioner Diaz De La Portilla: I heard, I heard. Commissioner Reyes: -- at the County. I'm glad, a good friend. Commissioner Diaz De La Portilla: Yes. Commissioner Reyes: I mean, I think all of us have good rapport with him and maybe we can get a lot of things done working with him. But I do agree, and really, I would like to have that. Be more specific on everything that we do so we can make an intelligent decision. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Thank you Mr. Chair. Not to belabor the point, how many acres are we talking about, the whole area? Mr. Badia: Well, for the marine stadium, we're only talking about -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: No, no, no, no, no, no, the whole area, you know, the whole coastline there from the Rusty Pelican all the way to the end. So, how many acres -- inner basin/outer basin -- what are we talking about? You know, our city needs to have good things happen to it quickly. Commissioner Carollo and Commissioner Reyes and I, we had a conversation about this, had the whole debate about the marina. That's one component of it. At the end of the day, I don't want to walk away from being a City Commissioner eight years from now, or seven years from now and not have anything to show for it. So, does the City of Miami, do any of the -- our bureaucrats here have a plan, a master plan of what we're going to do in the whole area so that the City can generate dollars, the dollars that we need to generate for our economy? Because if we have a world -class marina, it doesn't matter who runs it. I don't care but 1 want the whole thing to be planned out. I want to have that conversation, Mr. Manager. Great segue, Commissioner Reyes, for RFPs for every marina. Commissioner Carollo spoke about what we have back here. That's a crappy marina. I'm sorry, you're correct. Wrong word maybe, but not the best marina in the world. But you go Marina del Rey, you go all over the world, not the country, the world, and you find world -class marinas. We don't have that here. Outboard this, that, this deal, that deal. The whole (UNINTELLIGIBLE) usable thing. You know what (UNINTELLIGIBLE) usuable is, right? A friend of the friend of the City of Miami Page 13 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 friend of the friend that happens to have the lease on this or that. I don't give a crap about that. I want my city to have a world -class marina, to have world -class facilities, right? No matter who does it. RFP, not a rigged process. You're correct, Commissioner Carollo, you know. It should be a proper process. Marina experts, Commissioner Reyes, correct, people that know, not people that have an interest in it but people that know, right? So, at the end of the day, you guys are supposed to tell us what are our assets. I hear from CBRE that we have 139 properties the City of Miami owns. That's our consultant, right? Our real estate consultant, highest and best use. Why don't we know so we can make better decisions? And if I ask you a question, a specific question, why can 't you give me an answer so that 1 make a smart decision. But 1 can't make a smart decision if don't have the information, right? Mr. Badia: Correct, correct. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So how many acres do we have? What do we need to do? How many RFPs do we need to issue, right? Maybe Zerry can help us, maybe our manager can help us, but don't continue to kick the can and say, "Hey, well talk about it tomorrow. We'll talk about it next week or next -- whatever." We have a Commissioner now from District 5. Are you on board already? Commissioner Watson: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah. Okay, so that's what we have. So, give me an answer so that 1 can make a smart decision so that we can all have an honest conversation about what's going to happen in that park. By the way, while you're at it, tell me about Watson Island. Tell me about the Hyatt property. Tell me about everything else that's happening, all the big -ticket items that are happening here so that we can walk away -- go into December 31st or the new year and find that we actually are doing things that work for our city. Mr. Noriega: Hector, stand down on that question. So, Commissioner, that really needs to be directed at me because that's out of his wheelhouse. So, Hyatt, the other project, that's not what OCI (Office of Capital Improvements) does. So, I'm happy to come back to you with an absolute plan. You gave -- I'll present to you all the available options on waterfront property, marinas included, that aren't currently under long-term leases because we have some of those that are encumbered. We'll come back to you with a fidl fledged plan. I'll do that and some ideas within 45 days if that's -- if you're comfortable with that 60 days for the January meeting. And as far as the marine stadium -- and I don't have the historical perspective on it, but from what I can recall -- and maybe Commissioner Russell can chime in on that -- that was a historic preservation project more so than it was a project that was ultimately going to generate a profit center. So, I think that was the premise from which it originated. Vice Chair Russell: I'll disagree with that, and I'd like -- I've waited to hear what everyone says before I speak. But I'd like to just highlight what Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla is concerned about. Everything he's brought up falls under the Department of Real Estate Asset Management. We do not have a director for Real Estate Asset Management right now, if I'm not mistaken, and that is showing very much by the questions that are being asked. Commissioner Carollo: I don't know if we ever did. Vice Chair Russell: And -- Commissioner Reyes: I agree with that. Vice Chair Russell: Well, the -- City of Miami Page 14 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: Very well said, Commissioner. Very well said. Vice Chair Russell: But when I first was elected and I was asking what does Real Estate Asset Management do, which of the properties goes to Real Estate Asset Management, which of them goes to Parks. And I was told, `If it makes money, it goes to DREAM (Department of Real Estate Asset Management). If it doesn't make money, it goes to Parks." This is one of those that should be somewhere in between and do both. And this is not a historic preservation decoration for us. This is an asset of the City that we, as a policy body, need to decide what to do with. Now, a previous body -- I'm the youngest one up here, but I'm the senior in terms of been on this dais in one continuous moment, in my fifth year right now. When Commissioner Suarez was here, we did issue the special revenue bond, which does not need to go to the voters. If it were a general obligation bond, it would need to go to the voters, if I'm not mistaken. And we did that as a Commission body here and that was allocated. And your point is very well taken. What happens with the marina then affects that, what is generating the revenue for that special revenue bond. But beyond all those mechanics, step one is, what do we want this asset to be and do? Is it worth preserving? I believe it -- as an architectural structure, it is amazing. I thought it would never stand the test of time and the fact that initial studies have shown the concrete, the cantilevered roof the structural integrity of the building is still there. Then the question is, is it worth revitalizing and repurposing and activating? And there must be a financial component. We cannot have it be a black hole. 1 believe it 's worth it. 1 believe it's worth it, but it's certainly not one of our greatest crises right now, dealing with COVID, dealing with affordable housing. But I don't want it to also disappear as something we forget about. Now there is a plan moving, and Hector, there's money that's already been spent over the last five years, if I'm not mistaken. Could you tell me how far into this we are in terms of expenditures from that initial (INAUDIBLE)? Mr. Badia: I don 't have those numbers in front of me, but I know that we're -- Vice Chair Russell: Okay. Mr. Badia: -- finalizing the design on that. We're in the last stages of permitting. Vice Chair Russell: We were doing structural integrity testing. We were checking the pylons. We were doing planning. We were hiring Heisenbottle. Commissioner Reyes: I have one question, one question only. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: We're piecemealing it. That's the problem. We just got a broader vision here. The City could be generating 30 to $40 million in revenue i_f we look at everything that we need to do across the board. I've done the math. Commissioner Carollo: You read my statements as to my last meeting when I was Mayor. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Commissioner Carollo: I left the blueprint -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: One of the things that 1 do -- Commissioner Carollo: -- and it was never found. City of Miami Page 15 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I'm a student of history. Mayor, I'm a student at history, okay. So, I see where the revenue generators are in our city. So, every time we talk about the pilings -- I don't care about the pilings. We're talking about the whole picture. The City of Miami -- not District 1, District 2, District 4 or 5, whatever, the whole City of Miami -- Vice Chair Russell: The assets. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Why aren 't we maximizing our assets to generate dollars at a difficult economic time and what's the master plan? Commissioner Carollo: Because there's no vision, there's no accountability. Commissioner Reyes: Absolutely. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It wasn't a vision, right, Commissioner? Commissioner Carollo: You brought up Virginia Key. Frankly, the smallest component that we could discuss there is the Marine Stadium. It just got a pretty big tab in dollars, that's the only thing. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: 45 million. Commissioner Carollo: Well, that's -- maybe. In my opinion -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Probably more, yeah. Commissioner Carollo: -- it'll go over that. But we have to look at Virginia Key as a whole. When I was mayor, we left what I thought was a pretty good balanced plan for Virginia Key, master plan. It was balanced between opening it up for people to enjoy with all kinds of activities, but also bringing in the revenue component that you need to make the other things happen and to bring additional revenue to the City. Somehow, after I left here, that was all changed. It was a different mentality what to do there. We have, for instance, contracts there that have been month -to -month for I don't know how many decades. We have other contracts that I didn't know where they're at for rowing that has one of the most valued pieces of property that we have, and we've given it away. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Commissioner Carollo: Yeah. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right? Commissioner Carollo: That whole basin -- the horseshoe as I call it -- is one of the most valuable pieces of properties that any city in America I dare to say owns. Not just beaut ful but value. The basin inside -- I mentioned the other day, Marina Del Rey. You mentioned it today. Let me tell you, we could put a marina there with floating docks that could be even better than Marina Del Rey. It'd be the biggest by far marina anywhere up the southeast coast, and it would in size be getting pretty much there with Marina Del Rey. There are other components that the original master plan had with some hotels there and so on, additional restaurants. And of course, one of the biggest component was inside the island we had it for soccer fields, for baseball field, a football field. I mean, all kinds of sports, including the part of course with the Virginia Key Trust. So, we need to look at this as a whole because we have a tremendous amount of dollars that are on the table. The marina that's there now is just a small fraction of what we could have there. We have other areas in the City of Miami Page 16 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 City that we could have nice marinas, including mega yacht marinas. So, we really owe it to the residents of Miami and the future of Miami to develop these properties as quickly as possible. You know, seeing what we saw here today with the young men that weren 't so young anymore that came here and how one individual, Shaky Rodriguez, was able to influence their lives, we have to repeat that. We have to multiply thousands of Shaky Rodriguez types, disciples so that we could have funding fir the inner-city kids, that any kid that needs a mentor to help them, a tutor, will have them so that we can ensure that every young man or woman in the City of Miami inner-city schools will graduate from high school, will have the tools available to them so that they can graduate from high school and then the help so that they could get in either to a college, university, or a technical school. And that's the best investment that we can make in our whole city. But in order for us to do that, we also need to find new revenues and not be afraid of finding that new revenue, having that balance that I'm talking about. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Commissioners, this is a big topic -- Commissioner Reyes: May I? Vice Chair Russell: -- that we -- oh, I'm sorry. Commissioner Reyes, of course. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Can 1--? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Let me -- before Commissioner -- it's a big topic, but it's an important conversation. And the point that Mayor Carollo made is correct. Vice Chair Russell: One hundred percent. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So -- it's an important conversation and why not have it today? Or are we going to kick the can again and have it next week or next month? Vice Chair Russell: From a procedural perspective, we are -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: From a procedural perspective, we -- Vice Chair Russell: -- on the order of the day. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- can talk about whatever you want to talk about. Vice Chair Russell: Of course. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right? Vice Chair Russell: But we're just trying to set the agenda for the day. Commissioner Reyes: Okay, what -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right, right but I think that the Commissioners here -- as you do too, Commissioner -- Chairman -- you want to make a difference as you do too. We want to snake a difference. We're not here to pass time. We're here to make a difference. So, if Commissioner Carollo is giving you some historical perspective on all these things that he has the knowledge, the institutional knowledge because he was here way before you. I'm a rookie but I'm not a rookie because I will read whatever he did back then when he was Mayor of Miami and everything else. Commissioner Carollo: You really did? City of Miami Page 17 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah, I did. Yeah, l follow your career. Commissioner Carollo: So, I was your mentor? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Ronald Raegan was. You've taught me a lot about politics. There's no doubt about that. Commissioner Reyes: Commissioner. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But you have -- no, but you had a vision for Miami seriously. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: With all due respect, you had a vision -- he had a vision for Miami way before you came around, way before I came around. He was the mayor of Miami. So, has -- had a vision for Miami. And as we move forward in 2020 now, we need to have a future vision for Miami. And the conversation today is important because we have somebody -- you have -- and I don't want to call them bureaucrats because that's a wrong word to use, all right, but we have people that are so entrenched in the way they think -- and you're talking to me about pilings and about what -- the $45 million here that we're talking about. No, I'm talking about the whole thing. Let's have that broad conversation. Let's do the RFPs. Let's have our manager come back to us with suggestions of what the vision is for Miami moving forward because we're going to enter really bad economic times now. Forget the fact that Chris Rose found $24 million somewhere. Next year, he's not going to find that money -- right? -- so how do we move forward? Commissioner Reyes: Could I --? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I'm sorry. I'm sorry, that's it. Go ahead. Commissioner Reyes: Could I say something? Vice Chair Russell: Commissioner Reyes then Commissioner Watson. Commissioner Reyes: You see, I am -- I agree with everything that has been said here and we need a vision. But in order to -- instead of talking around it, what we have to do, we will -- in my opinion, is direct the Manager to have a comprehensive plan, to have a master plan for that area. What can we do? How can we maximize it? What it is -- I mean, what are the possibilities and what will be the best use for that area? How can we bring more revenues and utilize more effectively and efficient every single, I would say, inch of the land that we have. And just like -- as I said a little while ago, we need to have an RFP for the marina if it is -- I mean, as soon as we can. But we'd like to incorporate not only that RFP for that marina. The RFP for -- I mean, and vision or a plan -- a master plan of the whole area, of the whole area, a very well -conceived master plan. Maybe we can use Commissioner Carollo as, I would say, a model for it and work from there. But we have to definitely -- definitely, we must have a master plan, not only for that area. And we also have to go back, and we have to tackle head on Watson Island. We have to tackle head-on Watson Island. What we have done with Watson Island, I mean, it is shameful. It is the best piece of land in the whole county, I would say the state. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And that heliport, 17 years, that heliport. Commissioner Reyes: And we have not -- City of Miami Page 18 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: What (INAUDIBLE) is that? Commissioner Reyes: -- utilized that land for the benefit of the residents of the City of Miami, we haven 't. So, I think it's about time that we started doing those master plans, you see, with a vision of development. And not only develop -- I mean, formulating the master plan, follow through, just as you said. And that's my main concern, Commissioner. I'm going to be here maybe -- I mean, if God give me life and COVID doesn't take me away, but I'm going to be here for a few years. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: You're in great health. You're a young 75. Commissioner Reyes: When I leave here, as you just stated, 1 want to look back and I said 1 helped develop this thing, I helped bring Miami to where it is, you see. I mean, at least that's the only reward that we're going to take. That's why all of us run, to make a difference, to make a difference. And in order to make a difference, we will have to have projects that they're doable. And there is the will of the administration and the Commission to follow through, to get them accomplished, you see. And I think that we are at that stage here. I think that this Commission is getting together to do that. And we should ask the Administration to jump in and be part of the -- of this thing. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Commissioner Watson, you're recognized. Commissioner Watson: Yeah. Let me just say right quickl think what we're talking about is very important. There's a couple of things that has been said. There's a couple things that's been said. One, you know I said our assets are important and is probably with all due respect to the newness of this wing of governance, I think the Manager is probably as capable as anybody can be that we have. He needs to be directed. His staff's going to talk about pilings. He's going to give us the forecast and we do need to have those forecasts so we intermingle what Commissioner Russell was saying and come back to what he probably has not seen from former mayor. I know I haven't seen it. The truth is I went to a Jimmy Buffett concert for a Lawton Chiles fundraiser, Miami Marine Stadium. Aside from that, that's the only time I've been there, and that was some time ago. But for the sake of tomorrow and there will be a time when we won't find 25 million, we need to be able to understand our assets. We have obligations in a lot of venues and those -- we need to see what that means. Because you may not be able to do anything based on our commitments with these venues because all these new venues have been leased out per se, Bayside, all these things, based on and predicated time, distance, number of attendees, and revenue. So, we've tried to generate revenue from assets. And we probably need to have the Manager -- and he did 45 days to defer -- come back, at least with more specifics for Commissioner and also specifics as it relates to what the overall plan was, what's feasible now relative to what existed so that we can all make better decisions. We don't have a whole lot of time to make bad decisions. We want to minimize those. And so, the only way to make any good decision is to have the information. And sometimes it does get disjointed. But the whole issue with students and technical training, that's not our area of responsibility as a city because that 's a School Board thing. But at the end of the day, it helps us. We need citizens to stay here. We need people to fax boats, electrical, the whole nine yards. And so, clearly, that's something that I'd be willing to help you on because there's a lot of people that don't -- they're not going to go to college for a whole lot of hosts of reasons. But they want to be employed. They want to, you know, find a place in the sun, and hopefully in this sun, so they can raise their families and be productive. And that 's what we're now helping this out on. So, just wanted to put that out there. Vice Chair Russell: In the theme of what you both said in terms of youth mentoring, City of Miami Page 19 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 there are 116 acres that belong to us on Virginia Key -- Commissioner Carollo: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: -- that are meant for sporting fields -- Commissioner Carollo: That's what I'm talking about before. Vice Chair Russell: -- that we could have facilities. Commissioner Carollo: Yeah. Commissioner Reyes: (INAUDIBLE). Vice Chair Russell: Mr. Manager, I would recommend if you say you need 45 days, go beyond just this item and make sure every Commissioner is briefed on the currently existing master plan, as well as the previous master plan under then Mayor Carollo's tenure so that we can have a full menu of all the ideas that have been brought about by the community and the boards we 've put together, the Virginia Key Advisory Board. So that when we reconvene in January to take this item up -- and I would recommend the second meeting in January -- we're not starting from scratch. We may all have are unique ideas for where to go with regard to preservation, development, et cetera, but at least we'll have all of the tools that have been worked on before us and will have been briefed by the management before we take it up. Commissioner Reyes: And 1 want to thank Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla for bringing this up. This is what's needed. Vice Chair Russell: It's important: Commissioner Reyes: It's what's needed. It's important. Thank you for bringing it up because I was itching for it. Commissioner Carollo: Absolutely. I -- Commissioner Reyes: I was itching for it. Commissioner Carollo: One of the areas that we have ran into differences with -- I won 't say problems -- has been with our neighbor, Key Biscayne. I would proffer that I believe that if we talked to Key Biscayne to try to partner with them in the sports complex, they've been looking to the County to see how they could get additional parklands. They don't have it for sports complexes, for other activities. I think that we could get them to join with us, ,find some additional revenues that they would put in. And at the same time, they might be more amenable for us to do some other things there that will bring revenue to the City of Miami. Not that we can't do it on our own without their permission, but it's always best to work together as much as we can. And in that, when the Manager is ready, I will be happy if this Commission would like to assign me -- if not one of us should be assigned to meet with the mayor there, to meet with the city council and present to them the possibility of working together in this sports complex. I mean, the plans that were there -- and I think from the original master plan that we have to the new one, that's probably one of the only areas that stayed more or less the same. That is huge there. We had envisioned having soccer -- all kinds of soccer stadiums, baseball stadiums so we could have people from all over the world corning here. Youth groups and having tournaments, et cetera. You couldn't find a better place than that. So -- City of Miami Page 20 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: So, 1 have a very good relationship with Mayor Davy and he and I were knee-deep in the mud out there not a month ago studying where there are protected wetlands, where there are developable sports fields. And they are very interested in investing with us. All they need is some access for some of their kids as well. Commissioner Reyes: Why don 't you both act as (INAUDIBLE)? Vice Chair Russell: As long as we can do that within the Sunshine, I think there's a lot to -- Commissioner Carollo: Yeah, within the Sunshine, yeah. Vice Chair Russell: -- work on on Virginia Key that that we can all work together on. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Absolutely. Vice Chair Russell: Absolutely, absolutely. Commissioner Carollo: But I'd be, you know, very happy, Commissioner -- I trust you in this -- to give the lead to you so you could speak to the mayor there. And if you need help, 1 could speak to the council. But I will be happy for you to take the lead for the Commission because it's important that we accomplish this, and I think you could be a major part of it. Vice Chair Russell: And our new County Commissioner, Raquel Regalado also, that's her jurisdiction as well. Commissioner Carollo: Sure. Well, of course. Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, unfortunately, Mr. Chair, we have -- or fortunately, we have a very -- two very special guests today, here in the Miami City Commission. They're standing back there. First of all, the first lady of the Florida Senate, Julie Galvano. Vice Chair Russell: Welcome. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Welcome to our city and our debates, right? And then we have, of course, President Galvano also. We have a discussion item I think that if we can take it out of order because he's going to leave. Just kind of come up, and he's going to give us a quick briefing on the redistricting process that we're going through, and he can more or less give us a quick briefing on what we're going to -- Commissioner Carollo: What item is this (INAUDIBLE)? Vice Chair Russell: I don't see that one on here. We could do it as a pocket. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It was supposed to be as a pocket item that I had introduced it. Vice Chair Russell: Okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But I don't know if (INAUDIBLE). City of Miami Page 21 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: So, let's finish the order of the day, introduce the pocket items. Glad to take that out of order, no problem. So, what other --? So, that's a pocket item as a discussion item on redistricting. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: On redistricting, he's going to give a very brief presentation, I think, because he's going to be very quick. And then he 's going to go on his way. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. I also have a pocket item that we discussed last -- earlier this week, a resolution of the City Commission strongly urging Governor DeSantis to amend Executive Order 22-44 to allow the City to enact mitigation measures to reduce the spread of COVID, protect the health, safety, and welfare of its residents; also authorizing local government bodies in South Florida to have the option to hold virtual meetings during the declared state of local emergency at our discretion. Commissioner Carollo: I told you I would second that before. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I second that too. Vice Chair Russell: So, those are two pocket items. This one is an action items, so we'l1 save it for later so that if there is public comment, please to go to miamigov.com/virtualmeeting and leave your public comment or come here publicly. Barnaby Min (Deputy City Attorney): Mr. Chair. Vice Chair Russell: In the meantime, we -- let's just vote on the order of the day, set the agenda, and then we will take up -- would this be Pocket Item 1? Commissioner Diaz De La Portilla: Pocket Item 1. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Mr. Min: Mr. Chair? Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Mr. Min: I believe the Mayor also has a pocket item. Would you like me to introduce that on his behalf? Vice Chair Russell: Please. Commissioner Carollo: Yes, please, if would. Mr. Min: And I believe it's cosponsored by District 3. Vice Chair Russell: What is the item? Commissioner Carollo: I will be bringing it up when we're ready on that, so go ahead ifyou could introduce it. Mr. Min: I believe it's a resolution concerning restricting flights from Cuba into Miami International Airport because of the COVID-19 crisis down there and their lack of screening and treatment and to prohibit travelers from entering Miami. City of Miami Page 22 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Please pass it out. We'll add that on as Pocket Item Number 2. And actually, that'll he -- this will be Pocket Item Number 2 is the urging DeSantis; Pocket Item Number 3 will be that one. Can 1 get a motion on the setting of the agenda, the order of the day? Commissioner Reyes: Moved. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So moved. Vice Chair Russell: So moved... Commissioner Carollo: Second. Vice Chair Russell: -- and seconded. Mr. Hannon: Did you need me to restate the items, dates, all that, or we're good to go? Vice Chair Russell: Only if you're unclear. It was clear to me. Mr. Hannon: I'm good to go. Vice Chair Russell: You 're good. All right. Anyone need it restated, what items and what order? And actually, just for clarification, that item on the non -conforming uses and structures, PZ.14, what date would that be? Mr. Hannon: It's my understanding it's to be continued. Commissioner Carollo: December 10. Mr. Hannon: Which will be December 10. Mr. Noriega: December 10. Commissioner Diaz De La Portilla: December 10. Vice Chair Russell: Is that sufficient time, Mr. Manager? Because I don't think we're ready to bring that back until we have that greater discussion (INAUDIBLE). Commissioner Diaz De La Portilla: I apologize, Mr. President. It's not the way it normally works. This is not Tallahassee. Come up here, sir. Let's recognize him. Commissioner Watson: Yeah, just stay right there. Hold on. Vice Chair Russell: We just need to vote this item. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yes. Nzeribe Ihekwaba: Good morning. Zerry Ihekwaba, Assistant City Manager. We received a communication from the Builders Association of South Florida asking for additional briefing on the item on arts in public places. So, we prefer to move it to sometime in January to give us enough time to brief them, and also to reach out to the Commissioners in case you have additional questions for us to address. Commissioner Carollo: That'll be line. Commissioner Reyes: That'll be fine. City of Miami Page 23 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: So -- Commissioner Carollo: Mr. Manager, could you instruct the Acting Planning Director that, before this item comes back, if he could meet with me so he could brief me personally and any questions that I might have that I could ask him then? Mr. Noriega: Absolutely. Commissioner Carollo: Thank you. Vice Chair Russell: Zerry. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But Commissioner -- Chairman, Chairman, I'm sorry. Why don't you just kill this item? Why don't we continue to debate this art in public places thing? Vice Chair Russell: Well, it's withdrawn. That's why I don't understand why you're talking about it. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what Fin... Mr. Noriega: They weren't talking about PZ.14. Commissioner Carollo: 14, yeah. Commissioner Reyes: 14. Mr. Noriega: PZ.14 is what they were referencing. Vice Chair Russell: All right. Let me help, let me help. I'm going to bring it in order. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Two different things. Vice Chair Russell: Part of the order of the day is the withdrawal of the art in public places item. Mr. Noriega: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: So, there is no need for a deferral further from -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It's completely... Vice Chair Russell.• You'll be very happy to hear that. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It's a complete withdrawal. Mr. Noriega: It is a complete withdrawal. Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Our question was (INAUDIBLE) -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It will go away, and it will die, right? Mr. Noriega: Unless somebody brings it back. Commissioner Diaz De La Portilla: Okay, all right. City of Miami Page 24 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: I just needed a date for PZ.14 because originally it was said December 10, then you said you wanted (INAUDIBLE) -- Mr. Noriega: Yes. It's December 10. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Exactly. Mr. Noriega: It's December 10. Vice Chair Russell: Fine. Is there any further discussion on the order of the day? All in favor of the items, say "aye." The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Vice Chair Russell: Any opposed? Motion passes. [Later...] Vice Chair Russell: We're starting the PZ (Planning and Zoning) agenda. Is there anyone else who needs to be sworn in? We have a few, Mr. Clerk, ifyou 'd like to -- Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. If you will be speaking on the remaining Planning and Zoning items for today's agenda, may I please have you stand and raise your right hand. The City Clerk administered the oath required under City Code Section 62-1 to those persons giving testimony on zoning issues. Mr. Hannon: Thank you, Chair. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. PZ.4 and 5 did not get deferred, did it? Mr. Hannon: No, sir. Vice Chair Russell: Okay. PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR ALL ITEM(S) 8246 DISCUSSION ITEM Office of the City Clerk PUBLIC COMMENTS SUBMITTED ONLINE BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC FOR THE NOVEMBER 19, 2020 CITY COMMISSION MEETING. RESULT: PRESENTED Vice Chair Russell: All right. So, that was PL1, discussion item done. I'm going to save the other pocket items for later so that if any public comment does come in, we need to take up public comment for our items before we vote on the CA (Consent Agenda), PH (Public Hearing) & RE (Resolution) agenda. Do we have public comment for the morning's agenda, aside from item number SR.6? Have we been able --? Because I understand there was significant recorded public comment that came in on SR.6 that could actually -- the public comment, are we able to bifurcate City of Miami Page 25 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 public comment by topic? Barnaby Min (Deputy City Attorney): Yes, sir. There's approximately eight hours and 52 minutes, so over 360 recorded messages that came in for SR.6. Vice Chair Russell: Eight hours and 52 minutes of public comment for SR.6. Mr. Min: Eight -- almost nine hours. Vice Chair Russell: So, we will not be taking that item or that public comment up at this moment. Mr. Min: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: What I would like to do is look at the public comment for all other items. Mr. Min: And those have been separated. Vice Chair Russell: And we've got -- thank you very much for parsing that. That 's going to help our day tremendously. Commissioner Reyes: Can we go home and take it at home through Zoom or something like that? Commissioner Carollo: We have the City Attorney here. Vice Chair Russell: I would love to get an official opinion on that -- Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: -- because it's my understanding that we need to hear or have access to the public comment before we vote. But during this virtual concept, when we've allowed virtual public comment to be sent to us, the e-mail public comment is not necessary to be read out loud in the chambers. We just have access to it leading up to the Commission meeting so we can take in those comments, and they become a part of the public record. Can we do the same with video, Madam City Attorney? Victoria Mendez (City Attorney): So, good morning. I apologize that I'm not with you again -- one moment. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: You need to get him some water. Ms. Mendez: I apologize that I'm not with you again. We have a family emergency going on. But basically, with regard to the public comment and the eight hours, they're all pretty much exactly the same public comment. It's a script that was read, so we will read that to you so that you do not have to listen to the eight hours and 52 minutes since it is all on the same topic and it is the same script. Commissioner Reyes: How long --? Ms. Mendez: Does that answer your question -- Commissioner Reyes: Yes, but -- Ms. Mendez: -- Vice Chairman? City of Miami Page 26 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: Madam City Attorney, it's identical? Because 1 want to make sure that we are in compliance with public records -- with public access and -- Ms. Mendez: Yes. We called the -- we had called the Attorney General's office. This process that we are doing today will comply with our duty to have access -- to give access to our residents, and also to give you the information you need to make an informed decision. Commissioner Reyes: Can that be challenged? Commissioner Carollo: Anything could be challenged. Ms. Mendez: Anything could be challenged, but this -- we are very confident that this is in line with -- Commissioner Reyes: Okay, it is in line. Ms. Mendez: -- the duty that we need to do. Commissioner Reyes: How long -- now that you are -- I mean, we are reducing the number that have to be heard because they are repetitious, how long will be those comments then, if we reduce that amount? There are any that they are different that we will have to -- you have any estimate, time estimate, or no of -- in that issue, the comments? How long will be required to hear them? I mean, for how long? Ms. Mendez: We parsed out the -- Communications Department parsed out the items that have to do with ordinance -- Commissioner Reyes: SR.6. Ms. Mendez: -- with SR.6. That information was parsed out and we will read you the actual -- Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Ms. Mendez: -- statement that was stated. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Commissioner Carollo: Okay. Commissioner Reyes: I got you. Ms. Mendez: Mr. Min, do you have that, or do I need to do it? Mr. Min: I have it. Mr. Chair, you're ready for me to read it? Vice Chair Russell: Which part are you going to read? The script of that one item? Mr. Min: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: I'd like to address those who are here with us in person first for public comment, so that if anyone who's been here waiting would like to speak on any of the agenda items today, now is your time. You've already been sworn in, correct? Alfredo Gonzalez: Yes, sir. City of Miami Page 27 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: All right. if need he. Mr. Gonzalez: I'm here on SR.6, so 1 don't know if you're going to take comments now or later. Vice Chair Russell: Now's good. Mr. Gonzalez: How much time? Vice Chair Russell: Two minutes. Mr. Gonzalez: Okay. Thank you. My name is Alfredo Gonzalez. I'm an attorney with Genovese Joblove & Battista, with offices at 100 Southeast 2nd Street, Suite 4400. It's my pleasure to be here representing Ball & Chain, a restaurant located at 1513 Southwest 8th Street. We urge you not to pass this ordinance today. But if you 're going to pass this ordinance, I think that people in the same boat as my client, who have applied for a warrant for specifically this use, over a year ago, should be exempted from this ordinance. We object to this ordinance on three real grounds. Number one, we think it violates due process and equal protection because it's an arbitrary and capricious ordinance when it comes to people like my client, who, going back to October of '19 -- 2019 -- applied for a warrant. Further, the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague and overbroad. Secondly, and the City may be equitably estopped from proceeding in a situation where, notwithstanding Code Section 7.1.2.4 of your Miami Code, Miami 21 Code, a year later, we still don't know whether our warrant will be issued, what we need to do, and how we get it completed. In essence, the City has delayed that process long enough for this ordinance to prohibit the use we're doing. Thirdly, the master plan and zoning on this property and on the property surrounding us is an urban core zoning for entertainment venues. It is, in fact, exactly the type of use that this ordinance is constricting and restricting, and it will apply to such other areas as Bayside, Wynwood, Midtown in various ways. Lastly, it will expose the City to a taking situation and a J. Bert Harris. I'm going to introduce my argument into the record and a outline of the time that it has taken to process our warrant. Thank you very much. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you for your comments. Next public speaker, please. Mr. Wernick. Steve Wernick: Good morning, Mr. Chairman, Commissioners, City Manager, Mr. Mayor. Steve Wernick, address at 89 Northeast 27th Street in Wynwood. I'm appearing here this morning on behalf of the Wynwood Community Enhancement Association, in support of items FR.3 and FR.4.

My name is Terrell Fritz, executive director of the Flagler District BID (Business Improvement District) and resident at 111 East Flagler Street in Downtown Miami. I'mspeaking today to ask for your consideration regarding four agenda items. First, RE.2, the Downtown Micro Mobility Network. City of Miami Page 29 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Please support the proposed network of separated and protected bike lanes connecting Government Center, Brightline Station, Miami -Dade College, and several Metromover stations. This bike network will provide significant connectivity and economic benefit to the historic Flagler District and the other central business district areas of Downtown Miami. SR.1 and PZ.3, public art ordinances, please withdraw the proposed public art ordinances. Downtown Miami already enjoys a wide variety of public art voluntarily installed by developers and the City has been ranked as one of the top ten cities in the world for public art without this mandate. Finally, on SR.6, noise ordinance, please exclude Downtown Miami properties from the proposed amendments. Our vibrant downtown districts would suffer significant negative impacts in both quality of life and economic liability if there were restriction on music and noise between the hours of 8 p.m. in the evening and 8 a.m. the next morning. Thank you for this opportunity to speak. And please stay safe. We appreciate everything you're all doing to help us through these challenging times. Janelle Perez: Hi.

My name is Diego Perelmuter. I'm a 20-year Miami resident and operations manager for Lyft Scooters in Miami, which is run out of our warehouse on 6500 Northeast 4th Avenue on District 5. Lyft strongly supports the expansion of protected bike lanes that keep micro -mobility riders safe in Miami. Protected bike lanes not only make our streets safer. They also make them more widely accessible for people of all ages and abilities while promoting environmentally sustainable transport. Studies even show that the cities with more protected bike lanes have fewer pedestrian and vehicular deaths. This lane will keep all road use in Downtown Miami safer and healthier, no matter how they choose to travel. Lyft is excited to already show all existing bike lanes in the City of Miami to our users on the Lyft app. In doing this, Lyft can educate cyclists and scooter users alike about the great infrastructure you are proposing which will ampler its impact. By helping the riders fund Miami's micro -mobility infrastructure, we help them feel safe, reducing the probability that they will turn to more polluting options in the future. As we all know, more people off cars equals less traffic to everyone. Thank you so much for pushing forward this vision to create a micro -mobility network in Miami. I can't wait to see the future of our city. Elizabeth Gadinsky: Hi. My, name is Libby Gadinsky, and I reside at 3530 Pine Tree Drive, Miami Beach.

My name is Arnold Movar (phonetic). 1 am a current resident of the Design District, but also a long-time stakeholder and resident of Wvnwood Norte. I want to start with a big thank you for approving the panel last month. It's a big step forward in the right direction for the community to be involved in the overall growth and future of Wynwood Norte. I want to speak about -- today about the parking trust fund and the public benefits program and why it is essential for the plan to be successful long-term. We talk about reinvesting back into communities, taking care of the road, making the community safer, and also, just overall affordable housing and just looking after Wynwood Norte.

First, I want to express our gratitude to Commissioner Hardemon for his leadership of District 5 and supporting the community, vision plan for Wynwood Norte. We know we will continue to have a champion for our community on the County Commission. Items FR.3 and FR.4 are the two remaining ordinances tied to the Wvnwood Norte NRD-2, which the Commission adopted last month. These are extremely important to the community because they will continue to strengthen the backbone of this neighborhood. And as you all know, the neighborhood has many needs. The items before you today are about putting in place the tools to continue to reinvest in the community. This is about supporting the parks, supporting the schools, the arts, the cultural organizations, the seniors, and the families of the neighborhood. This will allow us to invest back into the neighborhood so everyone can benefit. In closing, I'd like to quote Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla because I believe he said it the best. "The NRD-2 is a legacy for this community that will last a long, long time." FR.3 and FR.4 are the tools needed to ensure that NRD-2 is a legacy for this community. Thank you to Mayor Suarez, thank you to the City Manager, thank you to the Planning Department for all your work with the association over the past two years. Finally, thank you to Commissioner DLP, Commissioner Reyes, Commissioner Carollo, Commissioner Russell, for your support today of items FR.3 and FR.4. On behalf of myself, my neighbors, the community, the association, we are so excited about the future. Go Wynwood Norte. Thank you so much for your time. Dan Rios: Hello.

Thank you City of Miami Page 32 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 so much for this opportunity to appear and comment via recording today. 1 want to thank all of you for your critical support and unanimous support and enthusiasm expressed last month when you approved the Wynwood Norte Neighborhood Revitalization District. I'm calling today to speak in support of FR item -- FR.3 and FR.4, the two items before you that create the Wynwood Norte Parking Trust Fund and the Wynwood Norte Revitalization District Public Benefits Program, which are two important components of the total NRD-2 legislation. These programs will allow us to reinvest back into the neighborhood, specifically to support affordable housing, safe streets for seniors and children and families in our community, to reinvest in important community facilities within the Wynwood Norte neighborhood, and also to support the creation of more and better open spaces.

Nelda Feliciano (as translated by official Spanish interpreter): Good afternoon, I'm the Spanish interpreter. Hello. My, name is Nelda Feliciano. I live in Wynwood at the address 3333 Northwest 1st Avenue. The purpose of this video is to let you know that Fin in support of a positive change with NRD-2 for all of us and for my family so that my children have a memory of this humble house that we've been living in for 40 years. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. That concludes the recorded comments. 1 'd like to now hear from anyone who is on the line. Manuel Otero (Innovation and Technology Web Administrator): Call Taker 1, you're live. Unidentified Speaker: Go ahead, caller. You're live with City of Miami Commission. Albert Gomez: Yes. This is Albert Gomez, 3566 Vista Court. I just had a couple of points that I wanted to address. The most important one was the RE.1. You know, being on several -- you know, advising certain people in the City and engaging at the board level and understanding trying to push a standard, for instance, selection criteria within capital improvements and such for us to align our claims as a resilient city or doing "X" things from a budget perspective or actually through ordinance, and then writing this under the auspice of COVID, the RE.1 that we can deviate from strategic plans, I had a little bit of a concern because then we would have to really adjust the claims that we're making on our policies. So, if we make an adjustment on budgeted items or actions with regards to operating procedures that align with our strategic plan and we take away a budget from something, I would think that we should need to at least claim what that is and how that 's going to affect our goals within the strategic plan. And I don't know if we're addressing that under the auspice of COVID. Totally understand that you would need to do that just to be ,fiscally responsible, but I think we should know what that is when it 's done and that it should be posted and alerted how that would affect potentially our goals within the strategic plan. And I think the rest I just wanted to speak to the noise ordinance comment. I think it's a little overreaching, 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. It references like -- it doesn't clearly state within the ordinance the way it's written now for the resolution that it would be a business adjacent to a residential property. Does it apply also to residents in general? And I kind of wanted to understand that more. And then, furthermore -- but I'll write my comments in an e-mail and thank you so much. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Are there any further public comments? Hearing none, well close all the public comments for the day.

ENACTMENT NUMBER: R-20-0364 MOTION TO: Adopt RESULT: ADOPTED MOVER: Joe Carollo, Commissioner SECONDER: Manolo Reyes, Commissioner AYES: Russell, Diaz de la Portilla, Carollo, Reyes, Watson Note for the Record: For minutes referencing Item Number CA.18, please see Item Number CA.1. Vice Chair Russell: For the health of those who are here, we're going to take one item out of order. I believe many of you are here for the co -designation of a street for Shaky Rodriguez, and the Mayor has asked if we would take up CA.18 first before we take up the order of the day and the other business. And so, we will do that now. Mr. Mayor, you're recognized. Mayor Suarez: Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I know that there's a lot of people that are outside also, so I would ask that they -- if they're going to speak on this item, that they line up so that we can have them come in in an orderly fashion. I know there's a capacity limitation for the building and we want to be respectful of that. It's my great honor and privilege in a way, and in another way, it's an incredibly bitter and sad moment for me to be offering, proposing, and sponsoring the designation of Marcos City of Miami Page 47 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Shaky Rodriguez Way right next to the Asylum gym. Many of you who are here and many who are not here, were profoundly impacted by Shaky. You know, when people get to a point in their life where they're known by one word, he wasn't -- maybe to his family he was known as Marcus Rodriguez, but to everybody else, he was Shaky. And I have so many memories, so many incredible memories of him from when I was younger and from when I used to play basketball, personal memories of him. But I think the one thing as I was thinking about what I was going to say was he was a larger -than -life person. He was somebody that you were in awe of you were just completely, in awe of him. And what he did for Miami -- I was talking to my father about it earlier. He was Mr. Miami. He was the person that we looked at to see what was a representation of what Miami was. And those golden years in the `80s when the Miami High Stingarees were winning state championships and Jose and so many others were here from so many different eras, Stevie and so many who are here from different eras, those were the golden days of -- golden years of Miami. You know, the Hurricanes were winning national championships as well. And you know, to me, it's incredibly, obviously sad to be memorializing him post life. You know, it would've been great if we could have done this while he was alive and with us. But it's an honor for me to be the Mavor of Miami in a moment like this, given the history of when my father in -- I think it was 1987, gave the keys to the City to the Miami High basketball team for winning the State championship, led by Jose and so many others back then. So, I would humbly request that this Commission pass this resolution and that we -- Commissioner Reyes: 1 move it. Commissioner Carollo: So moved. Commissioner Reyes: He moved. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. There's been a motion by Commissioner Carollo, second by Commissioner Reyes. Mayor Suarez: We can have some public comment on it. Vice Chair Russell: Absolutely. Mayor Suarez: Thank you. Vice Chair Russell: So, for those of you who would like to speak on this item, you will each have two minutes to address us at either one of these lecterns. We'll be disinfecting them between uses. Please keep your mask on. I know it's uncomfortable, but it's for your safety. It's an enclosed space. We have well over 40 people in this room, so we just wanted to be careful. For those who are outside who would like to speak -- I hear there are a few -- if you could please open both of the doors so nobody has to pull on the handles and just they can come in and out as necessary. We'll start with those who are outside so they can come in and speak at the lecterns. And then as you see space at the lectern, please just stand up, social distance, and we'd love to hear from you. Is there anyone from outside who would like to speak on this item, CA.18? Yes. (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Vice Chair Russell: Yes, Commissioner. Your microphone, please. Your microphone. Commissioner Carollo: If we could instruct the City Clerk, since I was the sponsor of this item with the Mayor, if he could include that for the record. I don't see it here. City of Miami Page 48 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Yes, sir. I have Commissioner Carollo and Commissioner Reyes as co-sponsors for Item CA.18. Commissioner Carollo: Thankyou. Mr. Hannon: Thankyou. Vice Chair Russell: Good morning. Pwayko Skybank: Good morning. Oh, that's loud. Am 1 good to speak now? Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Just your name, please. And you have two minutes. Mr. Skybank: Good morning, everyone. My name is Pwayko Skybank. I was a player for Shaky in 2008 to 2011 at Dr. Krop High School. And briefly, I ju,st want to say thank you to him, his family, and the people that came up with this, because unfortunately, we tend to give our flowers to people once they're gone. And for somebody to impact not only this area, but all of Florida, the way that this man did, especially myself; means the world to me. As a father figure in high school, he changed my life. He -- a big reason why I have a tattoo on my back which is resilient because diving after balls, working two times a week on and off the court was a huge moment of my life and it really made me become the man 1 am today. It pushed me to go play college at the next level and also meet people and give me the confidence to honestly meet my wife. So, 1 just want to say thank you to those people and give the flowers to the people that are here, love the people, connect to the people, inspire them the way this man did because there's no way you could count on all of our hands right now how many people he impacted in Florida and beyond. So, thank you to him, family and people. And I look forward to seeing the street. Vice Chair Russell: Thankyou. Thankyou for your comments. Is there anyone --? Commissioner Carollo: Thank you very much. That's very touching, sir. Vice Chair Russell: Is there anyone else from outside who would like to speak on this item? If not, we'll go ahead and -- you can -- two at a time. You can go ahead and wait, one at each lectern. We'll alternate. This one's available. And then if the next two people could stand just six feet or so behind them, we'll get to hear from everyone efficiently. Good morning, sir. Jose Tiger Nunez: Good morning. My name is Jose Tiger Nunez. I am humbled and honored to address the Commission and the Mayor as we remember Shaky. I recall a similar function back in 1987 when then Mayor and friend Xavier Suarez presented Miami High with a proclamation honoring the State champions. The first, after many, many, many years of waiting. This was the beginning of Miami High's and Shakey's great run. But it is not the great run that Shaky will be mostly remembered for. It's going to be about the many kids, mostly inner city kids, who's lives he touched by teaching them to succeed and to beat the insurmountable odds that they faced. Often putting $5 in their pocket so they could have a meal to eat and keeping them in class when their environment told them to under achieve. It is about those young adults, that well after their career was over would lean on Shaky for counsel, and he kept them on the right path to an education and to success. And always, the City of Miami stood by his side. In his retirement banquet, I was fortunate to introduce Shaky. And I spoke about the web that Shaky had woven by the many lives that he had touched, and that that web continued to be woven despite his retirement. My dear friend, you will be missed. But once again, with the City of Miami by your side your memories are perpetuated by this proclamation and your web will continue to be woven. May City of Miami Page 49 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 God keep you in the palm of his hands. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you, Mr. Nunez. Commissioner Reyes: Thank you, sir. Vice Chair Russell: Good morning sir. You're recognized. Jose Ramos: Good morning. My name is Jose Ramos. That 's our principal, Tiger Nunez at Mater High School. I'm one of Shakey's former players from that era of 1985. We also -- I was part of the team that won the State Championship in 1987 with Mayor Suarez at the time, Junior -- I mean, Senior, I'm sorry. And I was telling him a story. A lot of our guys that we competed against, one good name was Chris Corchiani. When he found out that I was getting the key of the city and a proclamation that day he hit the roof because he had won the State Championship the year before and he didn't get any of that. So, I told him you had to be a Miami High alumni, and you had to come and play in our gym, not against us. So, I wanted you guys to know a little bit of that story. And secondly, I was one of Shakey 's knuckleheads when I came in there at 15. Those same words, he just took people in. Didn 't -- you know, try to guide you the best way he could. Put you in a position to achieve in the classroom and as well on the basketball court and that 's carried out through my. life. 1 played college, 1 played professionally. 1 have done everything -- work with children now. And all of that has a direct correlation with Shaky. So, I wanted, you know, people to understand that besides basketball, he was a great father, a great friend, coached a lot of players that came in through Miami High, and never looked at them, you know, color, race, nothing. Just saw them as young men truing to achieve under his program. So, I want to thank everyone here in the City, the Commissioners, obviously, Francis, the Mayor, for this opportunity and naming the street well given a name for Shaky out there and especially close to Miami High where I know his heart and fans and where he went to school, where he graduated, can live on for years. So, I thank you again from the bottom my heart. Thank you. God bless. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Good morning, Mr. Mayor. Commissioner Reyes: Morning. Xavier Suarez: Morning Mr. Chairman. Commissioners, the Junior Mayor Suarez wherever he may be. I wasn't going to say anything, but all of a sudden, this morning, I saw that you had appointed a new Commissioner. How could I not come by and at least congratulate Jeffrey Watson on a day where we're also obviously commemorating the life and deeds of Shaky. I don't want to exceed my two minutes. I was planning to take off my mask because I can no longer wear it, you know. I'm not a Commissioner anymore, but this is the only thing I got from the County. So, anyhow, but apparently your etiquette dictates that we keep it on, right? Vice Chair Russell .• Yes, it does. Commissioner Carollo: Yes, Mr. Mayor. Mr. Suarez: So, I abide by that. Commissioner Carollo: You could speak all you want to. You could speak all you want but with a mask. That's the only -- Mr. Suarez: There you go. In simple terms, he was Mr. 305 before -- Commissioner Carollo: The original. City of Miami Page 50 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Mr. Suarez: -- 1 think Pitbull, you know. I mean, he was Miami. And the way he handled not only his own players, great players that went to play in the pros, but that summer league with kids from all parts of the city. And, of course, in that summer league was involved your current mayor. And it was really nice the way he took care of all those kids without distinction, like Jose said. Without distinction as to race, color, ethnicity. I was always particularly impressed with how he dealt with the baddest guy ever from Miami High. You remember the story of Manny Torres, of course, and he adopted Manny, you know, and kept him more or less on the straight and narrow. So, Jose Marti said (COMMENTS MADE IN SPANISH) -- to honor -- to bestow honor is to be honored. We're honored by bestowing this honor on Marcos "Shaky" Rodriguez. God bless him, keep him, and guide us in the next years of our lives. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Commissioner. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And I think your son is sitting over there. Mr. Suarez: There he is. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: He came back. Mr. Suarez: He kind of warned me not to take off the mask. I tell people when I'm in the City of Miami, I do everything because I don't want to get hit by a $100 fine from the Mayor and the Commission and whatever. Mayor Suarez: I'm actually talking to the national corona virus taskforce. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Good to see you, man. Vice Chair Russell: Don't go anywhere, Mayor, we got something for you too. All right. Vice Chair Russell: Mayor, you stick around. Commissioner Reyes: Stick around, don't leave. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Stick around. Don't go anywhere yet, okay? Albert Milo: Good morning, Commissioners and Mayor. Albert Milo, you know, president of Related Urban. And usually, I'm here -- I've, you know, come here a lot on business as you all know, and I've been, you know, very fortunate to be in a position that I'm in and do the work that I do. But I can tell you today without any doubt that the main reason for that is what we got. as Jose said, and what we learned from Shaky. You know, everything we apply today, and I have to apply today is something that we got from that foundation from our coach. You know, it was about the -- what it takes to be the best, and to be the best, it takes a lot of sacrifice. It takes a lot of hard work. It takes a lot of dedication. It takes a lot of commitment. It takes a lot of things, and that's what he ingrained in us, and there's no doubt that I would not be in the position that I am today had I not been a player for Shaky. And the first time I entered the building, this building was in 1987 as Jose said, when we got the keys to the city. So, it's -- I usually don't get nervous when I'm up here talking and today, I'm nervous of that. That's the impact that Shaky had on all of us. And unfortunately, because of COVID, we have to have a small amount of people here, because if not, I guarantee you this would be completely full, standing room only, people out the door. So, we're going to miss him, but there's no doubt that the impact that he made on our lives is immeasurable. So, thank you guys for doing this and we're going to miss him dearly. City of Miami Page 51 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: Thank you so much. Please feel free to alternate at the lecterns if you'd like to speak. Be ready while the other person is speaking so that we can clean the other lectern and you don't have to wait. If someone would like to speak at this lectern, please. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: You can do it there. Karel Rosario: I played for Shaky. My name is Karel Rosario. I played for Shaky at FIU from '97 to '01. And we have the pleasure of having very, very great coaches, you know, Coach B is here, coached with us. Coach Ramos was one of my coaches too. He -- just want to say a few things on behalf of the players that 1've been in contact with, you know, after his passing. He was such a great person. Besides that, he was a father figure to a lot of the players that did not have fathers. And I'm not an emotional guy but this one hurt. He put a lot of players through college. Players that didn't have a chance, couldn't afford it. He found a way always to make it happen. And that to me is a great man. I saw Shaky probably about three months ago at Belen 's camp. And you couldn 't be without speaking with Shaky more than one minute without him talking to you about basketball. I said, "Shaky, how's everything going?" He goes, "No, everything's going fine, but you see that guy right there, he didn't box out right. This is what he should be doing. This is what" -- you know. So, it's kind of amazing the role he took as a coach and the way he taught the players. But most of all, I want to bring out the fact and the memory that he helped so many players come into college and so many players that he held as a father figure. And thank you guys very much for what you have done for him, Mayor, the Commissioners. And he would always be at my heart as a father figure because that's what he was. Thank you very much. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Thanks for coming. Good morning. You 're welcome. Mark Baranek: Good morning. My name is Mark Baranek. I met Shaky Rodriguez in 1988 and became an assistant coach at Miami High. And we've been friends ever since. And I want to say that in my religion to have a good name is the highest quality that a person could have. And Shaky had that his entire life. And just the fact that the City of Miami is honoring him and the fact that so many people are here and as said before would -- many more would have been here is a testament to him. Shaky gave me a chance to work with him and in turn I was able to work with hundreds and hundreds of kids over the years. I've been at Miami High for 33 years because of Shaky. And I just want to end because I know there are other people that want to say that I really appreciate the City and the Commission taking this chance to honor someone who is so deserving, who impacted so many, lives, who was a friend to so many. And I think one of the biggest honors I have had over these past 33 years is that I was considered one of Shakey's guys. I was part of this special group with Art Cabrera, and Frank Martin, and Anthony Grant, and Bennie and all those guys. And to be the only Jewish guy from Miami Beach as part of that and it didn't matter where I was from or who I was. It was just that I was one of Shakey's guys. And to thank you very much. It's an honor to be here with you all. Thank you, sir. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Good morning. Aristides Cabrera: Good morning. My name is Art Cabrera, and I was Shakey's assistant coach for ten years. I was with him every day for ten years. And I -- you know, I know really the type of person he is. And he cared about people, you know. He cared about people, he cared about kids, you know. He'd go the extra mile for kids. I remember a kid by the name Malcolm Nicholas, you know, and one year I don't think Malcolm had clothes to go to graduation. And Shaky went out and took care of buying those clothes for Malcolm so he could go to graduation. Just, I think City of Miami Page 52 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 like our Mayor said, and I remember our Mayor coming to our basketball camps as a kid. It's like 1 said, you know, you can talk about Dan Marino, you can talk about Gloria Estefan, you can talk about Don Shula, you know, Shakey's up there with those people, okay? You just don't -- he's maybe he's not under, you know, the big town lights, but he's doing it behind the scenes, and he's getting kids ready for the future. You know, one of the things I'm most proud of is the way Shaky would mold the team. We would have kids from Little Havana, kids from Liberty City, Overtown. And we were like one big family walking into a gym. And I was always proud to walk into a gym with them and our team behind them. I'll leave with this little story. You know, Anthony Grant was chosen the national basketball coach of the year in the United States. And he was in tears about Shaky. Every time I talk to him on the phone, he breaks down. And a little story, you know, when Anthony -- and I was there that day when it had happened. When Anthony Grant's father -- when Anthony Grant's mother died, we were at his house. And Anthony Grant's father looked at Shaky and said, "Shaky, you know, when I first met you, I didn't know what you're about. I have to be honest. I didn't trust you." That was the day Anthony Grant's mother died. And he told Shaky, "You know what, I want to thank you because you've been like a second father to my son." And Anthony Grant's father did not play around. If he said those words, he meant it. Mayor, like you said, losing Shaky is a huge loss for the City of Miami. And I'm going to be so proud when I drive by Miami High and I see his name up on that street, Marcos "Shaky" Rodriguez. There's going to be a lot of proud people when they see that. And I thank all of you guys for doing that, especially you, Mayor. Thank you. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. This lectern. As soon as you see Clara --and thank you so much, Clara, for your work. You are our frontline worker right now making sure everybody's safe. As soon as Clara's finished cleaning either lectern, feel free to come up and speak. Is there anyone else who'd like to speak on this item? Eric Rodriguez: First and foremost, my name's Eric Rodriguez. Shaky was my dad. I want to thank you guys for assigning the street for him. I know that means a lot for me and my family from all of us. It's going to represent a lot to us moving forward. The initial one when he had his day and they gave him the key to the city, it still hangs in our living room. We see that every single day. So, I know this moving forward will be something that we'll remember especially every time we go by Miami High, and we see the sign. It'll bring up a memory of my father. As I look around, and I know I've heard all the stories, I've been through most of them. I've been right next to him, whether I was vocal or not, I was standing next to him. I know all the people he helped, and I know the impact he had on a lot of people. I mean, I'm honored, I'm blessed to look around and know I have a lot of brothers, sisters, a lot of people who I could call family that we were all under the same umbrella. So, I just want to thank you guys for everything. Appreciate it. Vice Chair Russell: We should be thanking you for -- Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Vice Chair Russell: -- sharing your father with so many others who considered him a father. Thank you. Thank you for your words. Good morning. Bernard Wright: Good morning, Commissioners, Mayor. I got an opportunity to come over and coach with Shaky. I actually was on the other side at Carol City. But when an opening came open when Anthony Grant took a head job, Shaky called me. He told me to come on home because I am a Miami High graduate. So, I had an opportunity to coach with Shaky at Miami High and also at FIU. I got a chance to be with him like Coach Cabrera said, every day. And I seen such the impact he had on City of Miami Page 53 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 kids just was unbelievable. We had kids they didn't even want to go at home during the daytime. All they wanted to do was stay at the gym. And that was a safe haven for those kids because we kept a lot of those kids out of trouble because we always had them in the gym. We always was taking them different places. Shaky always exposed his kids to a better life that they had an opportunity to have a chance at. Again, to Eric and his girls, and his family, my condolences again go out to you. And what you guys are doing about naming that street is an honor. Just the other day I rode by, I stopped in front of the gym, the (INAUDIBLE) and just memories cried. Thank you. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Anyone else before we close public comment on this item? Pilin Alvarez: Commissioners, Mayor, good morning. My name is Pilin Alvarez. I'm a little older than a lot of these guys here. My relationship with Shaky started in the year 1974-'75. And if you guys remember back then that was Shakey's first year coaching. He was an assistant coach at Miami High in the JV. That's when it all started for Shaky. And of course, Bob Kaufman was the head coach for the JV team. So, Shaky took me under his wing when I was 15 years old. This is 1974, his first year coaching. And we developed a real strong relationship. It was pretty much where we all got together at the Orange Bowl with Tiger, with Mouse, that's a nickname by the way. Because we all have nicknames. And it was special back then. And we developed a relationship, a very strong relationship. And then after we both became coaches, Shaky at Miami High and I was at Miami Christian, where we also won a couple of State Championships there. We would always find a way to support each other where 1 would come to his games, and he would come to my games. And he's -- 1 mean, he's actually been a father to me at 60 years old, which I am, and Shaky's 68, but we developed a relationship that was as strong as ever. A lot of things that I have and I've been accomplished is because of Shaky. The State Championships, being able to do -- to send kids to college, et cetera, et cetera. If I always wanted to talk to him, I would call him up and he would always be available. Definitely consider him a mentor, a father figure, a brother figure. And I think what's important here is what everybody's been saving. Shaky didn't care if you were Black, White, Hispanics, whatever, it was all about giving with Shaky. Shaky was a giver, he was not a taker. He was a giver. And he definitely played a big role in my life and a lot of the people you see behind me. So, he'll be remembered for a long time. I appreciate all you guys, Commissioners and Mayor Suarez, for you know, doing this thing, for Shaky and his family. Because I think that everybody will really enjoy it, and everybody really appreciates what you guys are doing. Thank you for your time. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Should I close public comment? Is there anyone else who'd like to speak on this item? Commissioner Reyes: Mr. Mayor? Vice Chair Russell: Seeing none, I'll close public comment. You're very recognized, Commissioner Reyes. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. I got to say this. I went to Miami High way, way before this gentleman that is older than you guys. Well, I'm older than him. And I was at Miami High at the time that -- I'm talking about 1959 when I first got there so you can figure out my age. And Miami High was a sport -- and it was a powerhouse, basketball, football. And as years passed by, that status as a powerhouse and everything changed in Miami High. We Stingarees -- because anybody that goes through those arches is a Stingaree for life. And we were always thinking about that. Those days, you see, that we used to go play Edison, and Coral Gables, and they'd beat us, and we beat them, and there were fights out on the parking lots and all of that. And when the Orange Bowl -- the Orange Bowl, can you imagine? There were City of Miami Page 54 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 no -- at the time, there was no professional teams in Miami and (UNINTELLIGIBLE) 60,000 people went to a high school game and all of that. But all that was gone. And we Stingarees that were at that time part of Miami High, we long for those days. And you know what? Shaky brought it back. He did, he did. He made us proud again. So, when the Mayor said before that Shaky was the original 305, he was, he was. And all of us Stingarees, the ones that played with him, the ones that were before him, and the ones that have come after are going to remember him as an icon for the City of Miami or for Miami High. So, I'm honored and proud to cosponsor this designation of this street. Nobody deserves it more than him, nobody. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Commissioner. Commissioner Carollo: Commissioner Reyes, did 1 hear right that you graduated from Miami High? Commissioner Reyes: I went to Miami High. I went in 1959 and I was one of those smart kids that thought that I knew everything. I thought that I was invincible, that I had only one thing in my mind. I remember that was the beginning of the revolution in Cuba. Commissioner Carollo: Okay. Commissioner Reyes: And 1 saw friends that they were a little older than me going to the Everglades training. And because the only idea that we had -- people my age -- was to go back to Cuba and fight. I know some of my friends went to Bay of Pigs. I couldn't go because 1 wasn't of age. They didn't accept me. But there was (UNINTELLIGIBLE), a bunch of people that a couple of them they went in Bay of Pigs. And I wasn't a good student. I can tell you that. I had a lot of -- I know that some of you remember the lady that was in charge of study hall, that little lady that had the big ruler. Well, she hit me with that ruler a couple of times, you know. And I -- in 11 th grade, at the end, starting 12th grade, I quit. I made that stupid mistake, you see. I went to work, and it took me a long, long, and a hard road to go back to school, get into OF (University of Florida), and get a master's. You see, probably because I wasn't -- at the time, there was not a Shaky in Miami High. Probably if a Shaky would have been in Miami High, that wouldn't have happened to me, you see? I would have been able to finish my school in a normal time, you see, and go to college, which I finally did through the -- after a lot of many, I would say, detours in my life. Probably if I had met Shaky at the time, that wouldn't had happened to me. There was no Shaky at the time that I was in Miami High. I wish it was. Commissioner Carollo: Thank you. I guess then, as I believe the only elected official up here that is a graduate of Miami High, in fact in my District, District 3 that covers Little Havana I think at least in the last 40 years, the last four decades', I've been the only graduate of Miami High. I remember those years as the golden years of Miami. Those were years that young people were taught to love our city, love our country, respect. You had legends like Shaky. You had legends like Nick Cody s (phonetic), Coral Gables in football. You would have more people show up at basketball and football games than you do at Marlins games, even I dare to say as many as show up and many, times more than even the Miami Heat games. When you say Shaky Rodriguez, many people think immediately of basketball championships. But from what I've heard and seen today, from here on, I will be thinking of Shaky Rodriguez, more so as a champion in touching and changing lives of young men. And this is the biggest of all things that he left behind. How many people can claim that they were able to influence and touch the lives, and in fact, change lives of so many young men? The end is really what matters in this world, that we try to do as much good as we can. Sadly, we live in such a material world -- and Miami is one of the most material cities -- but you know, money comes and goes. And at the end, we all die, rich and City of Miami Page 55 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 poor, and anyone in between, and you can't take it with you. You've got to leave it behind. So, if you want to be able to leave something behind, what better than what Shaky Rodriguez left behind, that he touched the lives, made an impact, made a difference with so many young men, so many young people. And that to me is what a real champion is, is what a real legend is. And that's Shaky Rodriguez. And I'm sure that God has him by his side, and he's winning championships up there too. So, to all of you that have come here today that knew him well, that played for him, that coached with him, we thank you. And follow his examples in touching lives yourselves like he did with you and others of as many people as you can in life for the better, especially young people. We're living in very different times, and more than ever, our new generation needs the guidance that ours and others had before. So, God bless all of you for being here, and to the family, our deepest condolence. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you, Commissioner. Are there any further comments on CA.18?

Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Vice Chair Russell: This is the micro -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Sorry, Chair. Tin not that fast. Vice Chair Russell: One million dollars for improvements to roads, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes for District 2. There was a program together with the County. They've already started on their sections. And so, our sections are not yet being done, but they are ready for us once the funding is there. So, this will help in the downtown area for safety -- Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Vice Chair Russell: -- and connectivity. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, this is your almost a million -dollar bike lane City of Miami Page 65 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 thing that we talked about a couple of months ago, right? Vice Chair Russell: This is the one. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That's the one. You tried to move that really fast. Vice Chair Russell: I tried, and you got me. Commissioner Carollo: Well, he's having a senior moment because I see that he moved it last time. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah. Commissioner Carollo: So -- Vice Chair Russell: That's the part of being the Chair. You need help here. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah, I know, I know. Vice Chair Russell: (INAUDIBLE) motion and a second. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: We're watching you, Chair. We're watching you. Okay, seriously now, why will we agree to a million dollars -- or almost a million --? What's the total? Vice Chair Russell: It's a $2 million program. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Vice Chair Russell: And that's a rough number. I'm sure that the staff can give us some specifics about half of which is covered by the County for the county roads, about half for the City, for the city roads. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right, right. But the City's commitment -- Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I'm talking about our City's commitment, not the County. Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, our City's commitment -- Mr. Manager, what's the total, our City's commitment to this effort? If I may, Mr. Chair. Thank you. Juvenal Santana: Good afternoon, Commissioner. Juvenal Santana, Director of Public Works. The City's commitment is up to $1 million according to the JPA (Joint Participation Agreement). Commissioner Carollo: Where's the money coming from? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah. Mr. Santana: It's funded from the scooter revenues. Commissioner Carollo: Okay, just wanted to put that in the records, so -- City of Miami Page 66 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Commissioner Carollo: -- that everyone understands it's not coming from the general fiend. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right. From a scooter program that already existed -- right? -- according to statute. So, we extended the scooter program, right? Mr. Santana: We did. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right? And that's -- those are dollars that were already collected, but it doesn't -- and I remember correctly -- it doesn't go specifically towards bike lanes. It also includes sidewalk repairs, and other things -- right? -- if I'm correct. And why are we allocating these dollars for bike lanes vis-a- vis allocating it for sidewalk space that may be more important in light of what we're going through right now with our outdoor spacing for our restaurants and everything else? Mr. Santana: That is your decision to make, whether or not you want to allocate the money to this specific project that the County and the City are trying to do a JPA on. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, that's a policy decision? Vice Chair Russell: It's a policy decision. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It's a policy decision we're going to be making to allocate almost a million -- up to a million, right? -- up to a million -- Mr. Santana: Up to a million, Commissioner. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- from a total of two million. The County does one million, and we do one -- so, we're going to make a policy decision to allocate one million dollars to bike lanes. Commissioner Carollo: Up to. Commissioner Reyes: Up to. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Up to. Well, well, I mean -- well, then let's get -- so what's the total number? Because you know how much it's going to cost right? But up to what? It could be up to that much, but there's got to be a price tag attached to this, right? I think -- Mr. Santana: The estimate that the County came back with was roughly a million dollars and their portion was 1.3, I believe. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Their portion, 1.3 -- Mr. Santana: On their project -- on their roadways. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I'm going to vote against it. Whatever it's worth. I can't make that the priority. Sorry. Vice Chair Russell: I respect your position. We do have a lot of serious issues going on right now. City of Miami Page 67 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: This is going to benefit downtown and that's why I'm -- Vice Chair Russell: Is your microphone on? Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: Okay, you're recognized. Commissioner Reyes: This is going to benefit downtown. And at DDA (Downtown Development Authority), we -- a resolution was passed. I mean, we were -- the people that -- they were in favor of this and because there are certain aspects of it that it will definitely improve downtown streets and downtown sidewalks in downtown Miami, and the bike path. How many people in downtown that use bicycles? You see, because they move around and since they (UNINTELLIGIBLE) -- dense concentration of people, and in particular, in Biscayne Boulevard and Brickell, that they are -- they move around using the bikes. And also, we 're going to use the bike lanes for the electric cargo bicycles that are used in order to keep the DHL (Dalsey Hillblom Lynn) trucks outside of downtown Miami. You see, when they could -- for their deliveries. That's why the -- that's the only reason I'm -- I support it. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, to be clear, as Chair of the Down -- if I may, Mr. Chair. As Chair of the Downtown Development Authority, you support this? Commissioner Reyes: Yes, for the -- because of the additional benefit that we have in downtown Miami. You see, this program that we have, which is the electric cargo bikes, they use the bike lanes instead of using the main roads, the main street. They to -- and we want -- we're trying to expand the program so we can get -- now we got the DHL out of it. We can get Federal -- I mean, the rest of the deliveries, you see, package deliveries out of the streets and the congested traffic in downtown Miami. And that's why I'm supporting this. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Let me clarify -- Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- or at least clarify for me. So, these bike lanes are not exclusively for bikes? Commissioner Reyes: No, they're not. Commissioner Watson: Exactly. Commissioner Reyes: They're not. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. So, all kinds of trucks, FedEx (Federal Express) trucks, everybody can drive this? Commissioner Reyes: No, no, no. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: They're not really bike -- Commissioner Reyes: No, no, no, no, no, no. It's not the FedEx trucks. Listen, we started a program with DHL that instead of using the trucks, they go to a place, they unload into like a -- Vice Chair Russell: Electric bike. City of Miami Page 68 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: Like a little motorcycle that has a box on the back. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: 1 know. I've seen it. Commissioner Reyes: You've seen it? Okay. It does -- those move -- those -- I mean, we're keeping the DHL trucks away from the traffic in downtown Miami. And those cargo bikes are the ones that are moving in downtown Miami using this lanes instead of using the roads. We want to expand the program. And that's why -- it's not only for bicycles. It's going to be used for DHL. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And for scooters? Commissioner Reyes: And for scooters. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, everybody can be just going crazy down these lanes up and down, right? Commissioner Reyes: No, no. Vice Chair Russell: Instead of the sidewalk. Commissioner Reyes: Instead of the side -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Well, yeah. Well, it's important. It's important. Commissioner Reyes: No, yeah. No, it is important. And you got to clarify (UNINTELLIGIBLE) -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It's a serious question, right? Unidentified Speaker: Yep. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, it's kind of like -- it's one lane where you have a little motor scooters or you have scooters -- Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- where you have bikers, you have all kinds of people. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. And if they were not in this lanes, they were in the middle of the street. Commissioner Carollo: It's like the conga, you know. Commissioner Reyes: It's like the conga. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah, like a -- Commissioner Reyes: It's a conga line. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It's a (UNINTELLIGIBLE) not a bike lane, rightl Commissioner Reyes: That's right. But if they were in that -- in the -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I had a problem and we had a conversation, Commissioner -- Chairman -- City of Miami Page 69 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: Yep. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- on -- Mr. Chairman, on scooters. There's a safety, issue -- Commissioner Reyes: Me too. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Remember? We had this huge debate. I sort of said, okay, because, you know, it was important for Commissioner Russell and Chairman Russell. It was important for him and his district, he thought, and I agree that, you know, you represent your district. This kind of creates mayhem, right? It's kind of like all kinds of stuff happening in one lane. Isn 't that scary? Commissioner Reyes: No. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: For -- if you have the same concerns about scooters -- Commissioner Reyes: Let me -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- and all of a sudden -- no, I'm just giving you my opinion. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Give me your opinion. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I'm just -- Commissioner Reyes: Okay, come on. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I love you. You and I have been friends a long time, a long, long time. Commissioner Reyes: Over 40 years. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Way too long. We're both too old. We're older than we look, right, at the end of the day. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It just creates all kinds of issues for me when you have the ability to have scooters, to have little motor bikes, to have bikes, regular bikes, and all kinds of people going back -and -forth on this. How about joggers? Are joggers also going to be part of that? Commissioner Reyes: No, no. Okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, they go to the sidewalk? Mr. Santana: That's correct. Commissioner Reyes: They go to the sidewalk. Now, can I answer that, sir? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yes. It's -- yeah. Commissioner Reyes: You see, I'm. not -- I am not in favor of scooters. They are there because it was voted. And -- but what I'm in favor is of the electric cargo bikes City of Miami Page 70 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 because that was a program that was started to keep -- I don't know if -- I mean, when you -- if you go in downtown Miami and you go to any street or you go even Coral Way, very close to where your parents. You should go to Coral Way in the morning, and you '11 see all those trucks that they are half on the sidewalk, half on the other sidewalk. What we're trying to do in downtown, you see, is with this program that we'll -- that this -- those delivery agencies, they will use those cargo bikes that they are -- I mean, they would develop to do that, to get the trucks out of the street. I mean, it's used in India. It's used in some countries in Europe and all of that. And we have a pilot program with DHL, and we want to include FedEx and all of those the delivery companies, so they'll be out of the street. It is not because we --1 want the scooters moving back -and -forth. 1 have the same concern, and I've been opposing that all the time, you see? But the -- now if you go on 2nd Ave --1 mean, 1st Street, if you drive in downtown Miami, you're going to see that it's -- there's an existing bike lane there, you see? It exists, and that was the County. And the County is -- I mean, they are going to do it anyways, you see? And they're going to spend about -- we -- I want us to have certain say in on it. And in order to provide that type of avenue or that type of road for those delivery, bicycles, I mean, car -- electric bikes in order that they can navigate downtown Miami without affecting the automobile and bus traffic, you see? That is why as a DDA Chair I am in favor of this. Because it will benefit downtown Miami in a way that -- and it will benefit also all the areas of the City of Miami if we can implement this type of restrictions to the delivery company. Vice Chair Russell: If 1 could. The -- each of us works really hard to try to find innovative ideas to make money for the City. And everyone has creative ways to do that in their district. This was sort of my initiative that I came up with based on this concept, and 1 know it was controversial. And I know you all trusted me, even some, you know, against it, but it went through. We limited it just to District 2. I really appreciate that you all have come with me on this journey, and I -- and your votes are clear with regard to how you feel about the scooters. The fact that you're open to following along with me on how to spend that money in my district in those roads, I really do appreciate that. I fully respect Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla, where you 're coming from. And as the scooter program, if it continues and if it expands, I do look forward to absolutely working with you on how that money is spent. For this initial allocation, I'm very proud that we were able to put this million dollars together that the City did not have, and it's able to solve a problem that the City shouldn't be reaching out of its pocket for right now. We've got bigger things to fight with COVID, and housing, and homeless. This is found money that I can solve a problem that does exist, does need to be addressed, but isn't going to affect the City's bottom line, and so I appreciate your support. Commissioner Reyes: But that money is already in the coffers, right? Vice Chair Russell: Say it again. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Those funds are already in City coffers, right? Vice Chair Russell. Yes. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. I mean, that is not an additional funds that you approved. Remember that you approved -- and also that you voted in favor of extending the program to the medical district, you see, the medical district. And I agree with you, you know, the funds there should stay there in District 1. So, this is -- I will say that it's not an experiment. It is trying to facilitate the navigation in downtown Miami of those cargo bikes, some cyclists -- because we have a lot of cyclists in downtown Miami, okay. Trying to keep them safe, you see? Try to keep them safe out of the main road. And the trend -- ?five don't do it downtown -- I mean, the County is going to do it. If they did it on 1st Street -- correct me if I'm wrong, you City of Miami Page 71 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 see? They did it and that's what we're using now for the cargo bikes, which has been a success, you see? Has been a success. We have eliminated a bunch of trucks out of there. And I'm going to require your support on trying to eliminate all of them, not only in my district, in your district too. Vice Chair Russell: Delivery trucks, you mean? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, I want to know -- Mr. Chair, if I may. I want to know if Commissioner Carollo's feeling collegial today. Commissioner Carollo, you're feeling collegial today? Commissioner Carollo: What is the question? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: If you're feeling collegial today and if, in the spirit of collegiality -- Commissioner Carollo: It depends how collegial you 're going to be. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Well, it's (UNINTELLIGIBLE), right? But as Chair of the Downtown Development Authority and as Chair of the Commission, and you think this is important for your district, on a moving fbrward basis, I think that we need to really figure out a way to share with other districts that we're going to allocate dollars and approve programs, then 1 think we need to share with the rest of the districts at the end of the day. But I'll change my vote -- change my mind based on the argument that Commissioner Reyes made and support you. But just keep that in mind. Vice Chair Russell: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: As we move forward during the course of the day. Commissioner Reyes: Thank you, (INAUDIBLE). Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And maybe everybody feels collegial today, who knows? Commissioner Carollo: I'm surprised you're ready to vote so quickly and you don't want to hear what the Bayfront Park Trust thinks about it? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: No. That's why I asked. I asked you -- and the first thing I asked was, Commissioner Carollo, are you feeling collegial today? Commissioner Carollo: You didn't ask me as Chairman of the Trust. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That's why I asked you, Commissioner. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. I really do appreciate the support. Is there any further discussion on RE.2. Commissioner Watson: Yeah, through the Chair. Let me just say that I think for the most part, most of us kind of legislate from where we are. And I think that we should always pause -- give pause to a futuristic perspective. Clearly, Commissioner Portilla's question was real, and I think if it's funded and revenue is there to do it, then it makes sense. It's not a bike lane which is why I had an issue at first, but it's mobility. Let me tell you where it's going, as we continue to grow as a city and talk about the things we're talking about, not only -- people go to work. People go to work on those scooters and those motor scooters and those electric bikes. And with City of Miami Page 72 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 our city being such that incomes are squeezed, people don't have cars. To have cars is more costly. And so, from that perspective, it's responsible on our part to give them an opportunity to be able to do it in a safe manner. Otherwise, you got a lot of people being mowed over by cars trying to use those vehicles. The next step that has to be looked at by us also is there is a time -- probably we'll all see it -- where you're going to have autonomous vehicles, and you 're going to pull up and it won't be Uber. It'll be just a blank car on a line rolling down the street. And we should begin to prepare for that and think about how that also works going forward. We're looking for ideas and the whole revenue models about how we now bring revenue to the city. That's something that's going to -- is going to happen. A friend of mine was just appointed to a Google division of 12,000 people. Autonomous vehicles are coming very shortly. And so not only do you need mobility lanes, but we need to now figure out how that 's going to look for us and our staff wherever that falls to begin to look at that so they -- we can come -- we'll have the decisions -- to be able to make the decisions based on things that we all may not use. But it's going to be robust that people are going to use it. So, I just wanted to say that. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Any further discussion? All in favor, say "aye. " The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Vice Chair Russell: Any opposed? Motion passes. Thank you very much.

ENACTMENT NUMBER: 13941 MOTION TO: Adopt with Modification(s) RESULT: ADOPTED WITH MODIFICATION(S) MOVER: Joe Carollo, Commissioner SECONDER: Manolo Reyes, Commissioner AYES: Russell, Diaz de la Portilla, Carollo, Reyes, Watson Note for the Record: For additional minutes referencing Item Number SR.6, please see "Public Comments for allltem(s)." Vice Chair Russell: SR.6. Please read it into the record. Commissioner Reyes: SR.6. City of Miami Page 77 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Barnaby Min (Deputy City Attorney): We do have -- there is something 1 need to read in the record if we're not going to play the comments for SR.6. May 1, Commissioner? Vice Chair Russell: Yes, of course. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Mr. Min: Pursuant to Section 286.014(4)(b) of Florida Statutes, the City Commission may prescribe procedures for allowing representatives, groups, or factions on a proposition to address the board or Commission rather than individual members of such groups or factions at meetings in which a large number of individuals wish to be heard. The City of Miami has received 366 pre-recorded voicemails and videos, which includes 343 in English and 23 in Spanish, totaling approximately, 8 hours and 52 minutes opposing file number 8049, second reading item number 6 on today 's City Commission agenda. The substance of the voicemails and videos in opposition to the proposed ordinance for second reading is substantially similar across all 360 plus submissions. Due to time constraints, and that Section 2-337 in the City Code requires the City Commission meeting to adjourn at the conclusion of deliberation of the agenda item being considered at 10: 00 p.m., unless time is extended by unanimous agreement of the members of the City Commission then present, the City will not be playing approximately 8 hours and 52 minutes of voicemails submitted in opposition of file number 8049, second reading item number 6, all of which are similar in substance. Instead, the 360 plus video messages and voicemails have been sent to the Mayor, Commissioners, and City's Administration for their consideration prior to taking any action on file number 8049, second reading item number 6, and entered into the record and are now a part of file number 8049. The substance of the 360- plus voicemails and videos substantially reads as follows: "I'm speaking today on proposed ordinance number 8049, second reading number 6, that will restrict the hours of outdoor music in the City of Miami. I'm a fan of Ball & Chain. I'm against any new law that would further restrict or reduce the amount of music on their patio. Ball & Chain is culturally important to Miami and Little Havana. And as a lover of Ball & Chain, I want to be able to dance outside in our beautiful city. I want to be able to listen to and enjoy music every night. The City is unfairly withholding the outdoor dining warrant that Ball & Chain applied for more than one year ago. The City has purposely rendered a decision here as it is legally required -- as it is legally required to do by Code as per Miami 21. You will hear that businesses with existing warrants are exempted. If Ball & Chain's warrant is being held up until this ordinance passes, if the City moves forward in grandfathering in existing businesses, then Ball & Chain must be grandfathered in because they applied for this license more than one year ago because anything else would be grossly unfair, if not illegal. There has been live nighttime music on the patio of Ball & Chain since 1935. Please, please don 't stop it today. I urge the Commission not to stop the music and vote against ordinance number 8049, second reading number 6. And I also urge the Commission to let all of the 125 families that depend on Ball & Chain for their livelihood and health insurance to immediately allow the reopening of Ball & Chain. Thank you for your time." Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Please read the ordinance into the record. Mr. Min: SR.6. The Ordinance was read by title into the public record by Deputy City Attorney Barnaby Min. Commissioner Reyes: Mr. Chair. City of Miami Page 78 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: Yes. You're recognized, Commissioner Reyes. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. I want to present some amendments if the sponsor will accept that. One amendment will read as follows: Any establishment with an approval prior to the adoption of this ordinance, the approval for -- I mean, having music on the back of the -- and I want to make it clear -- Commissioner Carollo: You 're saying any establishment that previously had a permit. Commissioner Reyes: Previously had a permit with -- prior to the adoption of this -- that had -- what we're doing is grandfathering -- Commissioner Carollo: Yes. Commissioner Reyes: -- the ones that had it already. Any establishment operating completely, within the structure -- you have to be inside -- establishments within the DDA (Downtown Development Authority) boundaries, any establishment abutting an area zoned T6 or above, any property zoned Tl, T2, or -- and T6 or above. And these are exclusions, right? Okay. And any establishment located and operating on the outside of a structure on or above the 5th floor. We have buildings that they are -- they have bars and they have -- and particularly, in downtown and in other areas, they have restaurants on the roof. Any establishment located or operating inside of the structure or above -- I said that. Any establishment whose sound -making device is located on the primary frontage. That means -- and 1 want to clarify this. You see, you go to 8th Street, and you have areas like Calle Ocho, and like Guantanamera, and all those places that people go drink and they have the doors open and they have the (UNINTELLIGIBLE) -- I mean, the music in the front of it. But that music is geared towards the street, you see. This is for those establishments that they have, I will say, a terrace abutting residential area, immediately abutting the residential area, you see. And it is made in order to -- for those establishments and neighborhoods in residential areas to be able to coexist. Because if you have music that is -- was -- I will say that the speakers towards the house, towards the back of the house, you see, that makes the quality of life of those neighbors unbearable, you see, to have music until 5 o'clock or 4 o'clock in there. Commissioner Carollo: Yeah. Commissioner Reyes: And that's -- this is what it does, is protect the neighbors, but at the same time allow the establishment to have the music if they're inside if you abut one of the -- I mean, a T4, a T3, or a T5, that you -- allow you to bring the music in. And like in Calle Ocho, where you have the speakers on the outside that is going towards the street, you see, and the noise is going towards the street -- Commissioner Carollo: Yeah, in the front of the establishment. Commissioner Reyes: In the frontage, in the frontage. And it will not impede those people from having music and to have the business going. Commissioner Carollo: I -- Commissioner Reyes: And (UNINTELLIGIBLE). I don't know if you accept that. Commissioner Carollo: I accept the amendment, Commissioner. Frankly, most of what you're including was always part of this ordinance. This ordinance never meant that it applied to the inside of an establishment or the front of the establishment City of Miami Page 79 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 because, obviously, the building blocks the music from the front from going back. Commissioner Reyes: Yeah. Commissioner Carollo: So, I accept the amendments that you have proffered to this ordinance on second reading. Commissioner Reyes: You need a motion? Vice Chair Russell: I need a -- yes. There has not yet been a motion on this item. Commissioner Carollo: I will place the motion for approval. Commissioner Reyes: I will second. Vice Chair Russell: There's been a motion by Commissioner Carollo, seconded by Commissioner Reyes. I have a question for the sponsor for staff. So, the way I read the ordinance, I do not see a differentiation between front of building or back of building. I believe this just has to do with outdoor. Is that -- am I reading it correctly as drafted? Commissioner Reyes: Outdoor. Vice Chair Russell: It's just any outdoor music at all? Commissioner Carollo: It's clarified -- Commissioner Reyes: In the back. Commissioner Carollo: -- it's clarified now -- Vice Chair Russell: Where? Commissioner Carollo: -- by the amend -- Vice Chair Russell: By the amendment. Commissioner Carollo: -- well, by the amendment that was made. Vice Chair Russell: And the amendment says -- Commissioner Reyes: It's on the backside outdoor, not that if you have -- let's say that you have a building and you have -- and it isn't closed, and you have your music inside, it doesn't apply. If you bring that -- I mean, let's say the speakers, or you bring a band on the backside of the establishment that abuts, you see, a residential area, that's when it -- Commissioner Carollo: In other words -- Commissioner Reyes: But it's -- Commissioner Carollo: -- in the back -- Commissioner Reyes: -- in the back -- Commissioner Carollo: -- abutting a residential area. City of Miami Page 80 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: -- outside -- Commissioner Carollo: Inside the building -- Commissioner Reyes: No. Commissioner Carollo: -- or in front of the building, it doesn't apply whatsoever. Commissioner Reyes: It's only the frontage. Commissioner Carollo: At the same time, any establishment that has been permitted already, it does not apply to them. They are grandfathered in. Vice Chair Russell: Is that based on the amendment, or is that in the legislation, the permitted? Commissioner Carollo: Well, the -- Vice Chair Russell: Because I don 't read that in here, so I'm -- Commissioner Carollo: The reason I think they didn 't include it in there -- because it was explained to me by Legal that was a legal protection that they would have anyway, but I'm glad that Commissioner Reyes is bringing it up so it could be more than clarified into the ordinance. Commissioner Reyes: And let's not forget the Miami 21, the frontage of the building is the main front -- I mean, is the main (UNINTELLIGIBLE), you see. And it's identified like that. And I'm going to tell you this, why I've supported this. You see, I live on 7th Street, Southwest 7th Street and 53rd Avenue. On 52nd Avenue and 8th Street, before becoming a pizza place -- and that changes from (UNINTELLIGIBLE) to (UNINTELLIGIBLE) -- there was a bar there, a bar. And they -- on the back of the bar, on the parking lot, you see, they used to have the biggest and loudest parties that you can imagine. And there was no way that we could get them to quiet down or bring it in because there was no legislation for that, you see. And the whole neighborhood was suffering from it. Now, if they would've -- if they had brought it in the building, in the establishment, or would've placed the -- I mean, would have -- on the sidewalk or the front of the building, it wouldn 't have bothered us as it did, you see. And I've been a victim. I know what I'm talking about. Commissioner Carollo: This is what I would describe as a people's ordinance, the residents' ordinance. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Commissioner Carollo: While protecting those businesses that have invested and gotten their permits already. We are trying to keep a balance between the quality of life and the rights of Miami residents and future intrusion into that quality of life. Vice Chair Russell: A few more questions because I've gotten a lot of concern from businesses in my district on this, and I've been trying to understand through the maps that were provided and through my interpretation of the legislation, whether or not it affects them or not in the area. Commissioner Carollo: Unfortunately, Commissioner, there's been a lot of disinformation on this purposely because I can 't imagine in your area and particularly -- City of Miami Page 81 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: It doesn't affect it. Commissioner Carollo: -- that it would affect any business, because any business in your area that has been permitted, it's not going to affect them at all whatsoever. Vice Chair Russell: If they've been permitted for their existing build -out use, et cetera. Commissioner Carollo: The problem that you have -- and I'll give you an example. I got a call yesterday from an old-time friend (UNINTELLIGIBLE). And he's questioning this ordinance. And he's questioning because he's got some other people that he knows and so on, that he's afraid that it's going to affect him. He's not sure. So, 1 said, "Well, look, they shouldn't be concerned because anyone that's had a permit, it would not affect them." He says, "Well, that's the problem. They've been doing all this without permits. "And that's precisely why I'm bringing this up. Vice Chair Russell: Doing what without permits? Because -- Commissioner Carollo: Having music, having food being served, having maybe drinks being served in the back facing real residential properties. I'm not talking about high-rises or anything. I'm talking about real residential property in the back. And I can 't for the life of me understand how this has been happening in our city, that the last people that are being listened to are residents. They would call -- and this is across all our districts -- Police Department; they get no help. They call Code; they get no help. And this makes it real clear where you don 't have to be playing the game that you're measuring for noise or whatever. And let's face it, what's been happening here is that, for too many years, things have really gotten out of hand. We've had many off -duty officers that are being paid in cash -- and this is a fact, not a myth -- by a lot of these establishments. A lot of that money that's being paid in cash, the City of Miami doesn't even know about it; we don't get our share. Now, what was happening was that a citizen has a complaint. They call the police department. The police department does not route that call to an officer that's a patrol vehicle on -duty. They route it to the off -duty officer. And here's a cop that's being paid in cash. We're all grown-ups. You could figure out why they're being paid in cash. And like I was hearing from many residents in the city, from District 5, from other districts, besides mine, when the officers were being sent, the ones that were being sent was the off -duty officer, and that officer would not do anything. And when they do something, it's to tell the residents that, "Hev, they got a right to do whatever they want." We heard here from one establishment that's really the one that has gotten all these same type of complaints against this. You heard from their attorney that he said that they had applied a year ago or so. I want to address that in ct minute because I never received any copy, nor do I think any of you did, of any warrant a year ago. Like, we have a resolution that we're supposed to if there was a warrant that was sent. I only received that recently, maybe a month -and -a -half or two months ago. But here's a prime example of what was going on. What this attorney didn't say is that for the six years that this establishment has been under operation -- and if indeed they presented that warrant about a year ago -- the five years before they presented the request for a warrant, this establishment was having bands, music until whatever hours of the day or night, food and alcohol being sold and served all without permits, not just from the City of Miami -- not one permit for the City of Miami, meaning that they were doing all this illegally -- but they had no permit from the State of Florida to sell alcohol in the back. So, in fact, let's lay it all out. They lied to the City of Miami, and they lied to the State of Florida. So, I don't think they're the only ones who were doing this kind of stuff by the way. But the question is how could this have happened in our city? But it was happening. And the same guys that were massaging the two duplexes in Coconut Grove that were on top of each other, they were massaging a lot more than that, Commissioner. So, the bottom line is that the only way that we could stop all City of Miami Page 82 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 these games going on -- and you've heard me at times throw more blame at Code -- and Code does have the blame -- but as 1 started getting more information, l found out that, you know, really Code wasn't the biggest problem that we had, as I described. But at the same time, you have a Code officer. First of all, we have a problem at nights, in particular, weekend nights. We have a skeleton staff. Code wants to work banker's hours. That hasn't changed, that hasn't changed. So, you send a Code Enforcement officer -- if they ever get there because there's only one on weekend nights working the whole city -- they might get there, and when they get there, the officer shoos them off I recently found out that a Code Enforcement officer was sent to a place that not only was violating the noise ordinance, but they had no permits to have any kind of music in the back. And you know what happened? They intimidated the Code Enforcement officer so bad that they didn't do their job. They left; they were afraid. So, we're doing this for the residents of Miami that those are the people that we come here to support. And I've tried to balance this in the best way so there is a balance to it. But -- and I think we found it in clearing up this ordinance fully and with some additional amendments that have been presented, where it's not going to affect any establishment that's there and now. And it is only going to cover T5 and below, not above. Commissioner Reyes: Commissioner, and I don't want anybody to have a misconception of what the frontage of the building is. And Barnaby, can you clarify when we say "the frontage of the building" what it is? Mr. Min: The primary frontage is basically the front door. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. And this affects only the backside of the business that abuts. Mr. Min: So, with the proposed amendment, that is how it'd be. Commissioner Carollo: Open area. Mr. Min: It would be -- Commissioner Reyes: Open area. Mr. Min: -- any outdoor -- Commissioner Reyes: Not closed area. Open area that abuts the residential area. Commissioner Carollo: T5 or -- Commissioner Reyes: T5. Commissioner Carollo: -- below. Vice Chair Russell: Question: When you say T5 or below, are you talking about the residential -- Commissioner Carollo: Residential. Vice Chair Russell: -- or the business? Commissioner Reyes: No, no. This is -- Commissioner Carollo: Residential. City of Miami Page 83 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: -- residential. Vice Chair Russell: So, if it abuts a residential use, it's T5 or below. Commissioner Reyes: That's -- Vice Chair Russell: That's when it applies. Because that's another question I had, and I had a bit of debate with the City Attorney in my briefing. Victoria Mendez (City Attorney): It's T6. Vice Chair Russell: Hello. Ms. Mendez: Hi. It's T6, not T5. Commissioner Reves: T6. Mr. Min: I believe with the proposed amendment, however, it would be -- that Commissioner Reves -- Commissioner Reyes: The proposed amendment (UNINTELLIGIBLE) -- Mr. Min: -- is suggesting it be changed suggested the change to T5 if it's abutting -- it would be allowed if it's abutting -- Ms. Mendez: What he read was T6. Commissioner Reyes: Okay, T6. Commissioner Carollo: That it was, but you know -- Vice Chair Russell: Okay. Just so I understand, so not that the business is in T6, but fit has a property -- it shares a property line with a T6 or below -- Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Commissioner Carollo: Exactly. Vice Chair Russell: -- this would apply? Commissioner Carollo: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: So, this was my question during my briefing because the wording "shares a property line with any property that has a residential use," and I asked if that had to do with whether residents actually lived there or if it's just as allowed in the zoning transect that they are. And they said no, it has to do with what use has been granted to that building through a specific certificate or -- you know, a use declaration. Commissioner Reyes: That's why we're clarifying this, sir. Vice Chair Russell: But if you say T6 and below, you're saying every -- the zoning transect is what we're talking about then. So, that's different then, right? Ms. Mendez: Okay. Commissioner Carollo: Yes. City of Miami Page 84 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Ms. Mendez: If1 could clam, Chairman, since we had this discussion at briefing. Commissioner Reyes: I have (INAUDIBLE). Ms. Mendez: As drafted now, it is when there is a residential use. And we had a discussion about you need to have a residential use, you have to have a CO (Certificate of Occupancy) or a CU (Certificate of Use) for residential use. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Ms. Mendez: What Commissioner Reyes is offering today -- in addition to that language, he's offering certain exceptions. Those exceptions, one of them is "any establishment abutting an area zoned T6 or above." That could be an exception. Commissioner Reyes: But it would have to come before us. Ms. Mendez: Do you understand the difference? Vice Chair Russell: What would have to come before us? Commissioner Reyes: If it is -- if you ask for an exception, you have to come here. Ms. Mendez: No, no. Commissioner Carollo: No. Ms. Mendez: I'm sorry. Exception that they will be exempted. Commissioner Reyes: Okay, exemption from exempted, okay. Vice Chair Russell: So, not an exception process -- Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Vice Chair Russell: -- to grant it. You're saying anything T6 or above. So, when he said T5 or below, meaning it applies to T5 or below, he was correct? Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Vice Chair Russell: So, T6 and above -- Ms. Mendez: Well, it's two different sections of the Code, so that's why I wanted to be -- you know, these are the amendments that he offering so that it doesn't apply at all. And that's -- Commissioner Reyes: It doesn't affect everybody. Ms. Mendez: -- areas zoned T6 or above. This amendment would not apply. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Ms. Mendez: Versus the language that's in the ordinance about the abutting transect zones and uses is -- Vice Chair Russell: It doesn't mention transect zone in the draft; it just mentions the use. And that's what brought up -- City of Miami Page 85 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Ms. Mendez: Right, the residential use. But that -- I just wanted to say it's two different things so -- Vice Chair Russell: So, does that stay in there, the residential use, and you just create the exemption for T6 and above? Mr. Min: That is the current proposal. Ms. Mendez: Say that again, I'm sorry. Mr. Min: The current proposal is, yes, it remains prohibited if it's abutting a residential use unless it's in a T6 or above transect zone. And just to clam, you can have a residential use in a T6. That's why that's being clarified that if it's a T6 residential use, it would be exempted. Vice Chair Russell: So, for example, if there's a -- if it abuts, if it shares a property line with a T3 property -- right? -- that's zoned T3, just for where it is, T3-R or T3-O whatever, but there's no building there right now, so there -- no certificate -- Mr. Min: Or that's not being used. Vice Chair Russell: -- of occupancy has been granted, that zoning transect has residential use allowed in it, but -- Mr. Min: It's allowed, but it's not being used. There is no -- Vice Chair Russell: But because that -- Mr. Min: -- current residential use. Vice Chair Russell: -- because it's a vacant lot, this does not apply, so they would be allowed to do it? Mr. Min: In theory, yes, that's correct. Commissioner Reyes: But if you built and you have a family living there, it will apply. Commissioner Carollo: And you cannot have itgrandfathered in. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Commissioner Carollo: You're going to build and have a right to have residential there. So, that's the question involved. I don't think you're going to find too many situations like that. It'll be rare. Commissioner Reyes: (INAUDIBLE) City of Miami, no. Commissioner Carollo: Not in the City of Miami. Ms. Mendez: Right. So, the question is a fair one. As drafted, it's whether it has a residential use. So, if it is a T3 that's an empty vacant lot and there is no residential use there, then it would not apply. If there's a warehouse, a legal nonconforming warehouse on a T3 lot -- which exists in the City -- it would not apply. But if you have a residential use, it applies. Commissioner Carollo: One thing you have to keep in mind too -- this is why we have City of Miami Page 86 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 had it this way -- is that we talked about the abutting right in the back, but most of these places have -- Commissioner Reyes: That's what it is. The abutting -- Commissioner Carollo: -- right to your left, to your right, the same amount of properties. And that's why I believe we drafted it in the fashion that we did. But I think this brings a tremendous balance in the ordinance, and it protects the vast majority of our residents. Vice Chair Russell: I definitely understand what you're trying to accomplish. So, it's broad enough though -- and 1 appreciate that it's getting narrower and narrower; it's getting more specific, but I'm very concerned about the unintended consequences or the businesses I haven't considered, and if it affects them in a negative way, I will have done them a disservice when we are trying to encourage outdoor dining, and Miami is about outdoor and music. I have plenty of T3 residents, T4, T5 residents I want to protect. But I also -- I fight these battles and various neighbors in different neighborhoods in different ways. In the MiMo (Miami Modern) District, everything abuts T3 in the Morningside neighborhood, right? And that commercial district goes right up Biscayne. And so, yeah, we've had some conflicts. But it's never been so bad that I would want to disallow them to do it. Some of them are very successful and they have their back little garden and they figured it out. And they -- it's cozy and they're not too loud. And when they get too loud, we go after them. Commissioner Reyes: But -- you are confusing it. Vice Chair Russell: Okay. Commissioner Reyes: Let's say that you have a little restaurant -- Vice Chair Russell: Okay. Commissioner Reyes: -- on Biscayne Boulevard. And that restaurant on Biscayne Boulevard, it has a little patio that abuts a T3, but you don't have music or anything. People are eating, you see. They are not having a party there every day and they have it now. I mean, they already grandfathered in because they have it now. Vice Chair Russell: Oh, so they're grandfathered because -- Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: -- they have a permit. And that -- Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Vice Chair Russell: -- so that led to the next question. What permit are we talking about exactly that gives them the grandfathered protection? Commissioner Reyes: Well, that is for the -- Vice Chair Russell: Is it a permit for that space? Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: Because you said a permit to play music in the back. I didn't realize we had a music playing permit. City of Miami Page 87 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Carollo: Well, it's a permit to have it all (UNINTELLIGIBLE) -- Vice Chair Russell: To build a deck or --? Commissioner Carollo: Yeah. Jeremy could explain it better, I believe. Commissioner Reyes: Explain it. Jeremy Calleros Gauger: Good afternoon, gentlemen. Jeremy Calleros Gauger, Interim Director of Planning. So, there's a number of permits that go back all the way to Class II, under a previous zoning ordinance that could allow it, as well as warrants for outdoor dining and outdoor uses. Vice Chair Russell: So, for an exam -- give me an example where someone would have done this correctly and would be grandfathered. Let 's say they've got a space in the back. They haven't built it out yet. They want to put in a patio for dining in the back. They -- do they don't -- they don't need a special permit for outdoor dining in the back of the building, do they? Mr. Calleros Gauger: Yes. Commissioner Carollo: Yes. Mr. Calleros Gauger: They do. Vice Chair Russell: It's specific -- Mr. Calleros Gauger: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: It's -- because I know about our sidewalk cafe in the front. What is the permit that allows them to do outdoor dining in the back? Mr. Calleros Gauger: So, you need a warrant for outdoor dining on private property. And then if you're going to spill out into the public right-of-way, that's when you need that additional right-of-way permit. But to do anything outdoors, you need the warrant. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Vice Chair Russell: So, it's a warrant -- and so we're not talking about the building permit for the build -out -- Mr. Calleros Gauger: No. Vice Chair Russell: -- of the patio itself? Mr. Calleros Gauger: No, this is a special entitlement. Vice Chair Russell: You're talking about a special entitlement, which is a warrant for outdoor dining or outdoor activities. Mr. Calleros Gauger: Outdoor activity. Commissioner Carollo: Yeah. Vice Chair Russell: What's another example that --? If a CrossFit gym wanted to have outdoor stuff behind with music -- City of Miami Page 88 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Mr. Calleros Gauger: That's exactly it. Vice Chair Russell: -- in there -- there are people that are working out behind outdoors, that would be a -- that would require a warrant for outdoor activity? Mr. Calleros Gauger: If -- anything that would be noisemaking, anything that -- that's the concern is to mitigate adverse impacts on the neighbors. Vice Chair Russell: So, they could get -- if they have the warrant or outdoor activity, it doesn 't expressly talk about music or anything like that, correct? Mr. Calleros Gauger: It might in conditions. You know, these are usually -- there might be conditions attached with a warrant if there's particular concerns about -- but it's really a case -by -case. Vice Chair Russell: But what this is basically saying is we're not going to grant these anymore in conjunction with noise, with music. We'11 still give you an outdoor -- a warrant for outdoor activity, but we're not going to let you play music after 8 p.m. if it's behind the building abutting residential use in T5 or below. Mr. Calleros Gauger: Into the details, 1 defer to the latest draft, but 1 -- that's my understanding is that we would not allow for any -- the list of music -making, live music, that list that's in the ordinance. Vice Chair Russell: 1 do understand what you 're trying to protect. 1 do understand. I'm trying to also protect the businesses that know in my district and in the Grove. I know ones that abut T3 and that I've identified. Now, whether they have an active outdoor activity permit or not, I do not know. But I know they could be put at risk by this ordinance, and that's what just brings me significant heartburn to move forward without knowing on a map exactly who this affects and whose business well be telling you simply can't put -- you can eat outside, but you simply can't play any music at any volume after 8 p.m. I'm just worried it would really hurt their businesses. So, I'm trying to find the distinction, and as it gets narrower, I'd become more open to it. But -- Commissioner Carollo: Like I -- the bottom line is, I truly believe when people go out in Miami to eat, they want to go eat. They want to enjoy the ambiance of being outside and eating. The problem that we're really are having here is where you got establishments, where the least that they serve is food and it's party time in the back. We can't make all our residential areas into South Beach South. And this is what I'm trying to avoid. I'm trying to avoid that right behind you have bands, concerts, stages, like frankly, is happening in some places -- Commissioner Reyes: Yes, it has. Commissioner Carollo: -- in different districts of Miami. And this is what we're talking about. And truly, those that do not want to see this pass, it's not because they're going to have a little violin, you know, up until 10 o'clock, or real low music and the ambiance. It's because they're going to have a disc jockey blasting music until 3 in the morning. Or they're going to have a band up there and a stage or what have you, blasting music. And then when the neighbors are calling, no one's going to give a damn about them. No one's going to listen to them because they don't have the big bucks to have the influence. And you know, this is what I'm trying to -- Commissioner Reyes: And I will add, sometimes what we're trying to do is codify it because that's what -- sometimes they go in and what Code are they going to use in City of Miami Page 89 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 order to stop that? In order to stop a hand that is blasting music at 3 o'clock in the morning, and next to a residential area where people have to go to work, or they have children, or they have people that they are sick, or I mean -- or they have the right to go and rest and sleep at night, you see. I know it because I live it. Vice Chair Russell: You know, I'm getting a -- I've gotten a message from a constituent business owner, actually in District 5, who has restaurants and bars with outdoor music. But they're currently mid -construction on two projects. They expect to employ 50 at each place, and they are hoping to get outdoor seating through that warrant process. They're already underway with permits for construction and everything, but the warrants haven't been approved yet for the outdoor. So, they -- they're out, like they won't be able to do this, right? Commissioner Carollo: No. They will be able to have outdoor dining without any problems. Vice Chair Russell: But no music after 8 p.m.? Commissioner Carollo: Well, after 8 o 'clock. Vice Chair Russell.• What if -- and I'm just trying to find a potential solution here. Because it looks like we have a warrant process for outdoor dining, which can have conditions about music. What if we elevated that from a warrant and took it to the next step? What's the next step from a warrant, exception? Mr. Min: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Mr. Min: I mean, a warrant as an administrative permit that can be appealed to PZAB (Planning Zoning and Appeals Board). Vice Chair Russell: Right. Mr. Min: An exception is a -- Vice Chair Russell: Now that would give the public who lives behind a public hearing at which they can contest the idea that this establishment would get a warrant. Commissioner Carollo: They -- in essence, they get that right now with warrants because when you send a warrant, you got to send it to people. But when you have people with money, those warrants get out. The little residents are not listened to whatsoever. And then I'd be even -- was recently told a case where someone objected to the warrant because of the noise that was happening. These people didn 't have any permits and they applied for the warrant, and they were still playing without permits. Do you know what they did? They went and sued the neighbors to try to intimidate them so they could back off their complaint. But Commissioner, look, we all have to let the chips where they fall. I'm here to protect the residents that live here. I want to help the businesspeople, but most of the businesspeople that are here, they don 't live in the City. God bless them. We went to help them. But we're talking about a small group of businesses that are involved here. And we're just trying to bring some order to this process. And the bottom line is that these people need the music because the music goes with the alcohol and that's what they're selling. They're not selling the ambiance of a good dinner that you could take your wife, you could take your girlfriend, and you could take whomever. They're selling the club life. And this is why they object to this so much because South Beach has gotten expensive. The area that we cut off back when I was mayor for nightlife in downtown Miami has gotten City of Miami Page 90 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 expensive. So, now they want to go into many of our different neighborhoods where they could buy property fairly cheap still and create the club life over there. South Beach is fed up with these people, so they're being run out of town, and this is where they're coming to. And I don't want our residents to he bullied like they have, to he run out of town themselves. And this is what I've been seeing. Many of our residents -- your district is one that's different. But many of our residents in the other districts, they don 't have the command of the English language, like many residents do in District 2. They don't understand government as they should. Many are just, you know, day-to-day workers, or they're just trying to make a living so they could put food on their table. And these people know that. That's why they take advantage of them. I remember, about two years ago, this was an old guy that lived with his wife. When 1 say old, he was probably early nineties. He was a Korean War vet, and he was telling me how he had called so many times our police department, nobody would ever come. Finally, when -- this is about noise from a club. Finally, when he had a police officer show up one night was to tell him don 't call anymore because they have a right to play the music as loud as they want. This is a place that had no permits. I recently found out that the man with his wife died. And he died having to put up with this. You know, sadly, he'd made his statements to a reporter in one newspaper -- excuse me, in one television station when he was speaking to me. That was videotaped. They put two seconds of him on TV and they took everything that he said out of what was happening because the reporter admitted to me, she was a friend of the club owner. So, you know, 1 respect everyone's opinion. But you know, we have to bring this to a head because 1 don 't want to see this kind of abuse anymore. 1 want to put our residents first. And I'm going to tell you, I have a lot of friends that are looking to open up outdoor activities, you know, with bands, with whatever. But this is not about who 's your friend, who's not. This is about protecting the quality of lives of our residents, protecting those that don't have a voice, that we're their voice, to protect their rights. And that's what I'm trying to do. Commissioner Watson: Mr. Chair. Vice Chair Russell: Yes, you're recognized. Commissioner Watson: Where are we procedurally? Where are we procedurally? Commissioner Carollo: Well, we have a motion. We have a second. Commissioner Watson: Okay. Vice Chair Russell: So, pro -- Commissioner Watson: And -- Vice Chair Russell: Procedurally, this was -- this is on second reading now. It was approved on first reading, 3-2, with D2 (District 2) and D5 (District 5) voting against, the other voting for. But it's been evolving. Now, amendments have been offered that tighten this up. And so, if we vote on this positively today, it becomes ordinance after the Mayor signs it. Commissioner Watson: So, I need to get clarification from staff right quick, and maybe even an amendment as well -- or someone. For example, in places like the Omni District, where it's built as an entertainment district, if you already have a permit to operate, then this doesn't -- because most of those are big buildings. It doesn't -- this doesn't affect you. Ain I correct? This doesn't affect you; am I correct? Commissioner Carollo: No, not at all, ifthev got permits. City of Miami Page 91 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Watson: if you are such that -- so what's the noise and time limit for those businesses in that -- in those areas? Is it a set time already? Commissioner Carollo: The -- Commissioner Watson: For the establishments in that district, the Omni Entertainment District. Commissioner Carollo: I don't know if it's 3 or 5. It depends. I guess he will tell you. Mr. Calleros Gauger: Sir, the current standard in the Code is 11. And then I believe there are certain districts in the City that have extended hours. Commissioner Watson: Okay. Vice Chair Russell: And what does that mean at 11 ? What is allowed or not allowed after 11 ? Mr. Calleros Gauger: That is a little bit out my -- outside my purview. Vice Chair Russell: Barnaby, can you pull up the Code? Mr. Calleros Gauger: But there is a decibel limit. Mr. Min: It cannot be plainly audible at a distance of a hundred feet from the building, structure, or vehicle, or premises in which it is -- which the noise is being generated. Vice Chair Russell: That's at any time. Mr. Min: Correct. Vice Chair Russell: That's the noise ordinance -- Commissioner Carollo: True. Vice Chair Russell: -- for any time, within a hundred foot, plainly audible. Commissioner Watson: So, it's 11 ? Vice Chair Russell: But from 11 on, what happens? Mr. Min: One moment, please. Commissioner Carollo: I think he was talking about the Omni District, right? Commissioner Watson: Yeah. Vice Chair Russell: Oh, I'm sort). I thought you meant the City Code versus -- Commissioner Carollo: No, no. Vice Chair Russell: -- in general versus special (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Commissioner Watson: Yeah. I'm just trying to understand the top -line. So, he's City of Miami Page 92 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 looking for that. So, let me ask you this question. Along 7th Avenue, I'm familiar with a place this outside, like it's built -- it seems as though -- I've kind of now identified it. It seems as though it's built like the old Wynwood Yards, right, and it's on the corner. It's on 7th Avenue, but I know there's a house next to it. I don't even know if they're permitted properly, but this would affect them either way. Either they don 't have a permit to do what they're doing, or they're doing it with a permit, but they're outside completely, and they would then have to stop at 8. Mr. Calleros Gauger: I think if they're -- if they have an existing permit, it sounds like they would be grandfathered in. Commissioner Watson: So, that's what I'm trying to -- Commissioner Carollo: Correct. Commissioner Watson: So, they would be grandfathered in? Commissioner Carollo: Correct. Commissioner Watson: But they would be grandfathered in to go to 11 ? Commissioner Carollo: They will be grandfathered in up to whatever time that goes. They said 11, so it will be 11. Commissioner Watson: Oh, okay. Okay, that's -- okay. Mr. Min: It's 11 p.m. to 7 a.rn. Vice Chair Russell: I'm sorry, Barnaby. Mr. Min: Eleven p.m. to seven a.m. there can be no music. Vice Chair Russell: After 11 p.m., there is zero music allowed at all? Mr. Min: Unless it's inside. Vice Chair Russell: Unless -- Commissioner Watson: Unless it's inside. Vice Chair Russell: So, it's not about decibel after that point. After 11 p.m., no music outdoor. And what about in entertainment districts? Mr. Min: There is no distinction as far as entertainment districts and noise. The entertainment district deals with the consumption of alcohol and the sale of alcohol. Vice Chair Russell: Got it. So, citywide at this point, regardless of the neighborhood, it's -- Mr. Min: Yes, sir. Commissioner Reyes: Yeah. Vice Chair Russell: So, nothing after 11 p.m. Commissioner Watson: And the amendments only speak to having to come to us if you're over T5, or if the property abuts -- is over T5; is that correct? City of Miami Page 93 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Carollo: If you're -- yeah, if it's over T5, you don't have to come to us. This doesn 't apply to you. Commissioner Watson: Okay, all right. Vice Chair Russell: It's an exemption, not an exception. Commissioner Watson: Not an exception. Vice Chair Russell: An exception would be a process coming to us. Commissioner Carollo: And what this does is protecting the old Miami neighborhoods. All the new ones that are higher basically -- Commissioner Watson: Yeah. Commissioner Carollo: -- you know, all your hot -- you know, skyscrapers, your tall buildings and so on that's -- I understand that becomes different. Commissioner Watson: So, I mean, at some point, I mean, I don 't know if it's now, or if I'm ordered to do that, at least offer an amendment. 1 understand the dynamics of the noise. If the 10 -- if you can go to 10 o 'clock, maybe that covers and not -- Commissioner Carollo: I'll be fine to bring it to 10. Commissioner Watson: Okay. Commissioner Carollo: That's no problem, so we could include that in the amendment to 10 p.m. Commissioner Watson: All right. Commissioner Carollo: I'm fine with that. Commissioner Watson: All right. Vice Chair Russell: So, could you clarify the amendment exactly? Commissioner Watson: So, my amendment would speak to the time frame. So, it would be 8 a -- Commissioner Carollo: Instead of 8, it'll be 10 p.m. Commissioner Watson: It'll be 10 p.m. Commissioner Carollo: To 8 in the morning. Commissioner Watson: Right. Commissioner Reyes: 10 to 8? Commissioner Carollo: Yeah. Commissioner Watson: In those areas that abut T5. Commissioner Reyes: 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. City of Miami Page 94 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: All right. Commissioner Carollo: Let me ask the legality of exempting particular districts. Commissioner Reyes: Yeah. Vice Chair Russell: Carve -outs. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Carve -outs. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Commissioner Carollo: Maybe the City Manager can help -- or the City Attorney can help me with that. Ms. Mendez: Carve -outs have to be -- we would have to give specific reasons as to why you would want to do any type of carve -out in order for it to be able to be constitutional. So, we just have to give the reasons why you would want to do a carve -out. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And what would those reasons be? Like, for example, we have scooters allowed in District 2. So, what would those reasons be? Like, for example, the Omni -- Ms. Mendez: For the scooter -- Commissioner Carollo: -- CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency), as an example. Ms. Mendez: Right. For the scooter ordinance, the reason why we were able to do it is because it was in the densely populated -- mostly' densely populated areas of the city that scooters would be needed for that last mile type of transportation. So, that's why we were able to have a good, legitimate reason as to do the carve -out. It's also a pilot program, but -- Vice Chair Russell: Does planning -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Because it's a pilot -- Vice Chair Russell: I'm sorry. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I'm sorry, Mr. Chair. Because it's a pilot program? What's the constitutional justification -- Ms. Mendez: It started out -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Hold on. Hold on. What's the constitutional justification, the difference between a pilot program and a regular city ordinance/resolution? Ms. Mendez: So, for the pilot program, we start off to see if it even works, and that's why, we had done the scooter program first as a pilot program, and then we were able to carve out the legislation based on the locations, based on the density. So, you're asking for us to do something similar here based on density. That's why I believe the DDA was carved out based on the density issues. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. City of Miami Page 95 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: I want to make sure that as -- 1 mean, part of this ordinance, that I -- as the seconder, I accept the amendment from Commissioner Watson. Commissioner Carollo: Thankyou. That 's important. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. No, really. Commissioner Carollo: Yeah. Thankyou. That's (INAUDIBLE) -- Commissioner Reyes: Because it wouldn't be the -- Vice Chair Russell: Of course. (MULTIPLE PARTIES SPEAKING IN UNISON) Commissioner Carollo: And I'm glad you brought that up because you have to accept it, otherwise -- Commissioner Reyes: That's right, that's right. Vice Chair Russell: So, as I'm understanding, we have a warrant process for outdoor activity, and that's separate from the noise ordinance which we're amending now. Does this affect that process for those who would then apply for that outdoor activity warrant from here forward? Let's say they don't have a permit now. They're building a new restaurant or bar and they want to get outdoor activity. What 's the process? They apply for that warrant, right? And that's during their build -out phase or whenever they decide they want to expand to outdoor from indoor. And how is that evaluated and granted, and are there noise conditions that are placed on that already? Commissioner Reyes: You have to come here. Mr. Calleros Gauger: So, I can speak to the warrant process for application for outdoor dining. It's very typical that we include, you know, must comply with Chapter 35 noise ordinance as part of that. So -- Vice Chair Russell: Okay. Mr. Calleros Gauger: -- this would be -- Vice Chair Russell: So, they tie together? Mr. Calleros Gauger: Yeah. I mean, it -- that -- the noise ordinance applies whether we'd make it as a condition or not. It's -- because it's on the books. But that is a standard condition that we include. Vice Chair Russell: Got it. And so, this would -- this noise ordinance would overlap that so we -- you can still get your outdoor activity permit, but if it's new, you'd have to stop by 10. Commissioner Carollo: By 10. Vice Chair Russell: If you've already had it, you could go to 11. Commissioner Reyes: To 11. City of Miami Page 96 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Carollo: Well, that's in the Omni. Other areas would he later. Depends what area it is. 1 think in the Grove it's at 3. It used to be at 5, but it was changed to 3. Vice Chair Russell: No. That's for closure, not for music or noise though. Mr. Min: Again, that has to do with the consumption of alcohol, not fbr noise. Vice Chair Russell: So, if I'm understanding correctly, the only difference is those who will have been grandfathered will get one extra hour, and those who are corning in new will have to end at 10. Mr. Min: Yes, sir. Vice Chair Russell: And that would be the substantive change created by this ordinance. I believe I can accept that. Commissioner Carollo: Okay. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Doesn't it create a -- Commissioner Carollo: So, let's call the question. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- competitive disadvantage? Vice Chair Russell: It is. Commissioner Carollo: But by law you have to give that right that they had already. You can't take a right that they already had. And, you know, Commissioner Reyes just made it clear. But that is the law. Vice Chair Russell: We've had re -- but from the competitive nature, we've had restaurants fight over that one hour based on -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: We've talked about it a million times in your -- Vice Chair Russell: Right? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- in your district, right? Vice Chair Russell: Right? And they say, "No, I'm going to lose all my business. Everyone 's going to go to that other club just for that one extra hour. " Commissioner Carollo: Chairman, can we call the question? Commissioner Reyes: We never care about those hours, right, Commissioner? Vice Chair Russell: The -- Commissioner Carollo has asked to call the question. Is there further discussion that is wanted on this issue? Because calling the question is a vote itself. Commissioner Carollo: Yeah. Vice Chair Russell: So, I don't want to interrupt -- if somebody definitely wants to discuss more -- City of Miami Page 97 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: Call the question. Vice Chair Russell: -- or are we ready to vote? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Well, calling the question is calling the question. Vice Chair Russell: Okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That does not paean that's the vote. Vice Chair Russell: So, you can vote on calling the question as well. 1 hear you. All right. The question has been called. There are amendments. You are clear, Mr. Clerk, on what those amendments are? Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Mr. City Attorney, you 're clear as well? Mr. Min: To be clear, there's seven amendments -- seven exemptions from Commissioner Reyes, and then the -- Commissioner Carollo: Can --? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Can you --? Mr. Min: -- extension to -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Can you outline them? Can you outline them for me? Mr. Min: Sure. It is any established -- so what Commissioner Reyes has proposed is any establishment with approval prior to the adoption of this ordinance will be exempted. Any establishment operating completely within a structure will be exempted. Establishments within the boundaries of the DDA will be exempted. Any establishment abutting an area zoned as T6 or above will be exempted. Any property located within a D1, D2, or a T6 or above will be exempted. Any establishment located and operated on the outside of a structure on or above the fifth floor will be exempted. Any establishment whose sound -making device is located on the primary frontage will be exempted. And the hours will be changed from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. I'm sorry, from 8 p.m. to -- I'm sorry. Commissioner Carollo: To 10 p.m. Mr. Min: From 8 p.m. to l0 p.m. Commissioner Carollo: Yeah. Vice Chair Russell: Commissioner, would you accept a -- an additional carve -out of the Coconut Grove BID (Business Improvement District) and the Wvnwood NRD (Neighborhood Revitalization District)? Those have been two specific requests I've received. But if this -- Commissioner Carollo: But the -- but -- Vice Chair Russell: -- is going to pass -- Commissioner Carollo: But the problem is that the area that was carved out, I mean, this is really high-rise, Brickell, downtown. Now, we're getting into areas that are -- City of Miami Page 98 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: Well, the reason 1 ask is that the BID is specifically business driven to help those businesses survive, and they survive on outdoor music. So, it really helps them get that extra table seating if they can go until 11 p.m., for example. And I remember during the curfew that that one extra hour really helped them from a business perspective just to attract outdoor dining. And they're not pumping out club music. This is just ambient music outdoor. Wynwood's a little different. They want a little more vibrancy and activity. Commissioner Carollo: Which BID are you talking about again? Vice Chair Russell: Coconut Grove BID. Commissioner Carollo: Until 11? Vice Chair Russell: Yes. So, it -- Commissioner Carollo: Okay. Vice Chair Russell: -- it would exempt Coconut Grove BID and -- Commissioner Carollo: So -- Vice Chair Russell: -- the Wynwood NRD-1. Commissioner Carollo: But it's because it's a BID in Coconut Grove, and in Wvnwood is -- the recent in Wynwood. Vice Chair Russell: So, Wynwood has a Wynwood BID as well, and they've asked for the NRD to be the boundary. Commissioner Carollo: Okay. So -- so -- Vice Chair Russell: -- to be the boundary. Commissioner Carollo: So, if they have -- okay, so the exemptions we're making is because you've got two BIDs there -- Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Commissioner Carollo: -- until 11 p.m. Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Commissioner Carollo: That's it. Okay. I'll go along with that so that we could make this a unanimous vote. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But we got to go a step further now, if you don't mind. The Omni CRA. Vice Chair Russell: Which is an arts and entertainment district. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It's an arts and entertainment district, will be included in 11 p.m., the same -- Commissioner Carollo: Well, the Omni CRA, let me tell you, that -- City of Miami Page 99 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Is a different world. Commissioner Carollo: -- that falls more within the DDA. I even thought maybe that was under the DDA because -- Commissioner Reyes: Yes, I -- Commissioner Carollo: -- you 've got all those skyrises there. Commissioner Reyes: Yeah. Commissioner Carollo: All the high-rises. Vice Chair Russell: It only overlaps a little bit. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It only overlaps a little bit. Yeah. Commissioner Carollo: Yeah. That's fine. Commissioner Reyes: I think that -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah. Commissioner Reyes: -- Omni should be included. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, I wanted the Omni CRA to be -- Vice Chair Russell: Adding exemptions for Grove BID, Wynwood NRD-1 -- Commissioner Reyes: And the CRA. Vice Chair Russell: -- and the Omni CRA boundary. Commissioner Reyes: And I accept as a -- Vice Chair Russell: Does the seconder accept the amendment? Commissioner Reyes: I second it. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you, sir. Commissioner Carollo: All right. Commissioner Reyes: No, no, no, no, no, no. No, I'm just kidding. Commissioner Carollo: Could we --? Can we vote? Vice Chair Russell: Yes. All in favor of the item, as amended? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Vice Chair Russell: Any opposed? Commissioner Carollo: Okay. Vice Chair Russell: Motion passes. City of Miami Page 100 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Carollo: Could I ask a few questions now that we've voted upon this? Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Commissioner Carollo: Planning Director. Mr. Calleros Gauger: Yes, sir. Commissioner Carollo: Explain to me how some establishments could've gone until 3 in the morning blasting music with bands in this city under what we heard here today. Mr. Calleros Gauger: I can't explain that, that it's -- at least that it's done legally. Commissioner Carollo: Excuse me? Mr. Calleros Gauger: I can't explain how that would be done legally, that there -- that they have music outside. Commissioner Carollo: You know, the -- Commissioner Reyes: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) they did it illegally? Mr. Calleros Gauger: 1 can't explain if they're only permitted until 11. Commissioner Reyes: From your answer, what I -- it is implied that whoever was doing that was doing it illegally? Mr. Calleros Gauger: Yes. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Commissioner Carollo: So, you would never give a warrant out or you cannot give a warrant out to have music blasting -- to have music outside after 11 p.m.? Mr. Calleros Gauger: No. We -- nothing in the zoning ordinance would supersede the noise ordinance. You know, it's always -- Commissioner Carollo: So, you -- so can you explain to me how in the heck someone that has a full band, even has built a stage -- I don't care what they call it -- a stage, could have gotten away for years making life hell for a lot of residents in having this kind of music going on? Vice Chair Russell: This is a Code question more than a planning question, I believe Commissioner Carollo: Well -- Vice Chair Russell: -- if you want to talk to Code. Unidentified Speaker: Look, we can call her. Commissioner Carollo: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) one of the first people that I've thrown the monkey behind Code's back, but frankly, Code, for the most part, they're hardworking people that, in the past, have had some not too good supervisors and one lousy director. But I don't want to go any further because, you know, frankly, what this city needs in some of these departments is a real grand jury investigation, and I'll be happy to lead them to witnesses. But, you know, I'm just surprised with what I'm City of Miami Page 101 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 hearing here now on Planning. You heard an attorney that came up here earlier representing an establishment in my district that claimed that they had applied for a warrant a year ago. Now, Mr. City Clerk, can you find out for us, if not the City Attorney, the resolution that this Commission approved, and when we approved it, that for warrants we all had to be informed any time someone asked for a warrant? Can you get that out now? Mr. Hannon: We're already searching right now, sir. Commissioner Carollo: Yeah. And the City Attorney would, because -- and the -- Mr. Min: Would you like (INAUDIBLE) --? Commissioner Carollo: -- why would there be a reason that your department -- if that is the process, is Planning -- it didn't go to Zoning first, right? Or it doesn't go to Zoning? Mr. Calleros Gauger: It's routed through Zoning, but it's a Planning item. And I believe -- I'll confirm, but I believe we notify Commission offices at the same time the notification letter goes out. Commissioner Carollo: Well, you will not send two notification letters -- right? -- at different times? Mr. Calleros Gauger: No. Commissioner Carollo: Okay. Then why would -- if indeed they applied a year ago, why would we only be notified maybe a month -and -a -half two months or so ago? Mr. Calleros Gauger: I'd have to see the specifics, but I believe that if you were notified then, that's probably when the notification letter went out. Commissioner Carollo: So, why would the -- if they had applied so much before, as they're claiming, why would that notification letter have gone out only then? Mr. Calleros Gauger: There could be a variety of reasons: if it was an incomplete application, if we needed more information, if there were outstanding issues that needed to be resolved before. Commissioner Carollo: Would outstanding issues be if they were and had been doing this illegally for over five years before, supposedly, the application got to you? Mr. Calleros Gauger: That's -- we look for open violations typically, but not all history, of previous violations necessarily. Commissioner Carollo: But look, you have an establishment here that sent an attorney here today trying to pretend they're a lamb in wolf's hide over themselves, where they spent easily over half a million dollars, and it might be much more than that, in remodeling, even putting a second floor in an establishment, and I'm even told there was even an elevator in the inside, without getting any permits for it. I'm told that no fire sprinklers whatsoever. I'm told that the back never had any warrant, never had any permits to sell even one croqueta, one hamburger, one arepa, meaning you couldn 't have any music if you did not have a permit to be back there. But in fact, they had advertised constantly over the internet full bands. They even built a stage back there that didn't have any permits. And the biggest joke of them all is, they had been selling liquor, hard liquor, for the approximately six years that they had been open without not having a permit to sell liquor in the back. And then, when they're City of Miami Page 102 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 claiming that how can the City shut them down, that they had gotten their architect and they were correcting and remodeling everything, I'm reading from the building official that when the City started reviewing numerous businesses that had used private providers, that this private provider either didn 't know what the heck he was doing, or he'd lied to the City in trying to make corrections, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars that they had spent with no permits to remodel and build in the location. So, what I'd like for you to do -- Mr. Manager, if I could go through you, sir? Art Noriega (City Manager): Absolutely. Commissioner Carollo: I'd like to get from Planning and Zoning, if need be. Because you had a prior Zoning Director who was a real character, and he had a lot of outside curriculum activities, outside of the City of Miami. I'd like to find out when did these people actually presented their warrant that they claim was a year ago? Who did they presented [sic] it to? Why was no action taken? Was it presented to Zoning first, the former Zoning Director, or did it go straight to Planning? How many hands did it go through? Why did it take months and months if indeed they handed this in when they're claiming they did for the notice to be sent to us so we would be informed? And my God, I, you know, would like to see if maybe someone could humor me and tell me how in the world can someone in the City of Miami spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in remodeling an establishment that the whole face of it, facing the street, you could tell was changed from the original. Everything was changed. No fire sprinklers, no permits in the back, but it was a concert every weekend night. And 1 mean a concert with a stage and everything else. Liquor being served illegally with no license. The City was lied to. The State of Florida was lied to. And it took the City all these years to realize that when they finally did a review of the recently -- information sent by a provider trying to correct what was never permitted before. And the City finds out that even that was either another whopper mistake or we were lied to again. And these are the people that are trying to play, you know, Mary Had a Little Lamb. And I'm only going there now. It's not the only place. But I really would see if someone could humor me and explain this to me how this could happen. Because Commissioner -- Chairman Russell, you're going to find that the same characters that did the whole shenanigans in those two buildings in Day Avenue in Coconut Grove, they were involved in this shenanigans. Vice Chair Russell: You're talking about the developers or from our Administration? Commissioner Carollo: I'm talking people in the City of Miami. Vice Chair Russell: So, approval (UNINTELLIGIBLE)? Commissioner Carollo: Nobody can get this done unless they have people on the inside. And, you know, this is why we have had to present this ordinance here today. Now, did either the City Clerk or the City Attorney, did you find out for me -- Mr. Min: Yes, sir. (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Commissioner Carollo: -- the resolution? Okay. This was April 26, 2018. So, this would have been way before the one year's time that they claim where they filed this with the City. And it says the resolution of the Miami City Commission directing the City administration to amend the Planning Director's internal process to require warrant applications be submitted to the district Commissioner for the district upon receipt of the initial application by the City of Miami's Planning Department. Why wasn't I sent that application upon receipt of the initial application? And I only received it -- we'll get the date from my office, but it could've not have been more than two months from that. City of Miami Page 103 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Mr. Calleros Gauger: I'll have to look into that specific, and 1 will. Mr. Noriega: Commissioner, we'll put together the timeline for you from the original warrant application to now, the entire process around that. Commissioner Carollo: But you see how this reads. This doesn't read when you send notification. This says from the time they applied. Mr. Calleros Gauger: Correct. Mr. Noriega: Correct. Commissioner Carollo: So, this is why 1 want to see what hands it went through. And, you know, I'm not coming down on you, Jeremy, nor am I coming down on your predecessor, but -- Mr. Calleros Gauger: We'll make sure you have the information. Commissioner Carollo: But 1 'm trying to get to the bottom line -- Mr. Calleros Gauger: Absolutely. Commissioner Carollo: -- as to what happened here because I'm sick of people lying because they've got money and they've hired a little army of PR people. They could be out there spinning all kinds of lies to the media and this is going to stop. Thank you. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you, Commissioner.

Status offiscal year 20 and 21 proposed budgets. Chris Rose: Good afternoon, again, Commissioners. Chris Rose, Office of Management and Budget. I stand before you today to say that it looks like we're going to end last year, as you've all been briefed, about $2.7 million in deficit, which is a far cry from what we were projecting before that. We have put some items in place to make sure that this doesn 't happen again and be happy to take any questions based on the briefings that we've given you already. Commissioner Dias de la Portilla: What did we put in place to make --? If I may, Mr. Chair. Commissioner Carollo: I'm sorry. Chris -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: What did we put in place to make sure it doesn't happen again? Mr. Rose: Sure. Two things in particular. We're going to be having monthly meetings with Finance and Budget and some of the larger departments that we missed this past time around. Second thing is, in August and September, we're going to have a go/no-go kind of thing where we did not do that this past time. Things kind of changed at the end of the year. We didn't catch it, and we need to catch it better this next time. Commissioner Carollo: I'm going to send you for Christmas a catcher's mitt, Chris, so that you're well prepared. Chris, I'm curious about something. My memory is not as good as it used to be. When did you come to work for the City of Miami from the County? What year was it? Mr. Rose: 2013, sir. Commissioner Carollo: Okay. Now, so you weren't the budget director when the same thing happened, when Mayor Regalado was here, and money was found? Mr. Rose: No, sir. That was the budget director right before me. Commissioner Carollo: Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, listen. Before you go, can you City of Miami Page 124 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 do me another favor? Mr. Rose: Sure. Commissioner Carollo: Since you already stuck your hand in your back pocket, can you stick it in your coat pocket? Mr. Rose: This time. Commissioner Carollo: See if there's money there that -- to be found. You know, we could use everything you can find. Mr. Rose: Point well -taken, sir. Commissioner Carollo: Thank you. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Any further questions on the budget? Thank you, Chris. Mr. Rose: Thank you. END OF BUDGET City of Miami Page 125 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 DI - DISCUSSION ITEM DI.1 DISCUSSION ITEM 8048 Department of Planning A DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING THE SOUTHWEST STREET TREE MASTER PLAN UPDATE. RESULT: DISCUSSED Vice Chair Russell: DI.1, discussion of the Southwest Street Tree Master Plan. Jenny, you have a presentation? Jen Rogers: Yeah, there's a presentation. [Later...] Vice Chair Russell: And are you ready? Ms. Rogers: Hi. I have been waiting a long time. Let 's see. You guys do this all the time. I am Jenny Rogers, and I am with Curtis & Rogers Design Studio. And we've been hired by the City with a team of people to work on the Southwest Streetscape -- Commissioner Dias de la Portilla: I can't understand her. Ms. Rogers: -- and Street Tree Master Plan. Commissioner Dias de la Portilla: I can't hear her. Vice Chair Russell: Jenny, could you pull the mic just a little closer, please? Thank you. Ms. Rogers: Is that better? Vice Chair Russell: It is. Ms. Rogers: Okay. So, our team, as we said, Curtis & Rogers, were the lead, but we were also joined by LOLA, the local office with Walter Meyer, BCC Engineering, and eSciences are also on her team. This project has been -- it takes up the southwest portion of the city. It comprises 13 neighborhoods with three different Commission districts. This area of the city was chosen because it has the -- some of the lowest tree canopy and the densest population. And the goal of this is to restore and enhance the urban tree canopy. And improving the tree canopy will improve habitability. It will make things cooler. It'll improve stormwater efficiency, keeping things dryer, and improve sustainability, making it more lasting. These are our goals. We say, why tree canopy? These are some of the benefits of trees. And part of this program is to help educate and -- the citizens of the parts of the city on the benefits of the trees and why they're an important infrastructure for our city, because we do see them as infrastructure. They're green infrastructure. And if we want to keep our planet a little bit cooler, our city a little bit cooler, where -- our trees are an important asset that we need to keep and that we need to maintain. As you can see here, the -- this is an overlay of the heat island effect. The heat island effect is what happens when the ambient temperature of the ground becomes hotter because of the reflection of the sun City of Miami Page 126 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 off of hard surfaces, primarily roads and paved surfaces. And you can see -- this is an overlay -- the red is the heat island. Where it's redder it is hotter, where it's green, you can see that's where our canopy is currently. This is a mapping of our right-of- way canopy in this area. So, where we have less trees, it is definitely hotter. We are having more -- projected to have more and more danger days. And this is some of the primary purpose we're looking at is how we can help the people within this area to be less vulnerable to these changes. So, we looked at vulnerability within -- and we looked at a lot of demographics as part of our first study. And we determined that, you know, some of the people most vulnerable to heat island events are the elderly and children and those living below the poverty line. So, we mapped out within our project area where those people lived. We also then did mapping of the hydrology of the area. So, we looked at the areas that are low lying and more inclined to have water problems during rain events or storm events. And these mappings have helped us determine where we can pinpoint sort of specific locations within this area where interventions would be most helpful. And we 're talking about interventions that can help assist with our existing stormwater system. We did an assessment of all of the street trees within the project areas. This is just an example of one of the neighborhoods. And so, all of the street trees have now been mapped, and as -- they also include observations as to their conditions. So, this information is now available to the City and GIS (Geographic Information System) and also on spreadsheets -- Excel spreadsheets. Vice Chair Russell: Excuse me, Jenny. Is the map updated to reflect trees that have been planted in this last year? Because we did a significant planting. Ms. Rogers: It is being updated as we speak, yes. Vice Chair Russell: It is? Okay. Ms. Rogers: Yes. And so that will have -- because the City has that information on GIS. We just need to merge the two files now, so -- Vice Chair Russell: Great. Ms. Rogers: So, we have mapped here is an overlay of -- you're looking at the existing canopy. We overlay the canopy with the hydrology mapping and with our demographic information to determine what our priority areas are. So, we determined that these areas within the project are the greatest priority because they have the people who are the most vulnerable and they have the least amount of canopy at this time. Vice Chair Russell: Could you go back that one map there? Ms. Rogers: That one? Vice Chair Russell: Commissioner Reyes, just north of Douglas Park is your district. What is it? 25 -- 25th and north there? That seems to be one of the most sparse areas, except for the northeast section there. Ms. Rogers: Although, I do believe that that area has had some new trees. Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Ms. Rogers: So, this canopy mapping here was before the new trees, just FYI (For Your Information). Vice Chair Russell: So, that'll get updated. Okay. City of Miami Page 127 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Ms. Rogers: So, those little new trees are not showing up on this because this was completed before those trees were planted. Vice Chair Russell: Is that Coral Gate there? Where is that there? Ms. Rogers: No. It's south of Coral Gate. It's north -- Commissioner Reyes: It's south of Coral Gate. We started planting some trees in Coral Gate and in Shenandoah . And we're going to planting all over, as much as we can. You see, we have a program. And also, Auburndale, we need some trees in Auburndale. Ms. Rogers: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: Where? Ms. Rogers: Auburndale is up in the top there. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Ms. Rogers: That is an area that needs it as well. Commissioner Reyes: It is -- Auburndale is around -- that's -- 1'll say from 27th Avenue to 37 and from -- Ms. Rogers: Yeah. This area, this is Auburndale here. Commissioner Reyes: 7th to Flagler -- I mean, to 8th, all that area, it is -- they have the very low canopy. We are going to try to plant as much as we can. But I have a great concern with the City of Miami and the tree planting program. You see, we plant the trees, but we don't maintain them. We don't maintain them. And there are certain areas, and particularly, around my district, where we have people that they are elders. Elders and some of them are retirees, that they worked all their life, and they paid the house -- their homes, and then they're living, but their income is fixed income. And they -- I have a lot of complaints of trees that they are overgrown, and the branches are going almost on top of their roof. And every time there is a hurricane in the horilon, those people get panicked because they can -- I mean, we don't -- and those are trees that they are planted by us -- being planted by us. And they are overgrown, and they don't -- they cannot cut them, that they cannot touch them. They can't do anything with it because we have this ordinance that if -- you can kill a person, but you cannot cut a tree, you see. And in order for them to just chop a little bit and trim it, they have to go through an arborist, and they shell out 250, $300 and then pay somebody to do it. That's not their tree. You know what l mean? Vice Chair Russell: Well, a resident can trim 25 percent with no permit whatsoever. They don't have to call anybody. Commissioner Reyes: Whatever tree that is on the outside. Now, trees on their property, it's another thing that they have trees that they have branches right on top of the roof right on top of the roof. And they need a permit to cut those. Vice Chair Russell: 25 percent. Commissioner Reyes: 25 percent. City of Miami Page 128 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: Even on their property, they can do it as well without permit. Commissioner Reyes: 25 percent. Well, you know, some of these people have been fined, okay? Some of those people have been fined, and they have been fined, I mean, very ridiculous fines. And trees that have been sick, they cannot touch because if they touch it and they cut it -- you see, I have seen fines of 20, $30,000, which is abusive to those people. Vice Chair Russell: But the -- Commissioner Reyes: No. We need to reform that. Vice Chair Russell: The one you brought up before though, I'm very interested in. The street tree maintenance. If there's a swale -- Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Vice Chair Russell: -- in front of your home and there's large trees on it, is it your responsibility to maintain or is it the City or the County? Is it the right-of-way jurisdiction owner's responsibility to maintain? Ms. Rogers: I'm looking at Jeremy. Vice Chair Russell: 1 believe 1 know the answer to this. 1 would just like to get a clarification, and Public Works sounds like they're coming to the rescue. Juvenal, you're recognized. Juvenal Santana: Good evening. Juvenal Santana, Public Works Director. Typically, if the City plants the tree, it's the City's maintenance responsibility. If a property owner comes in and pulls a tree permit, part of their tree permit includes the maintenance of that tree. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. But the cost is from -- if a person pulls a permit to -- I mean, to trim a tree that it is on the right-of-way planted by us -- Vice Chair Russell: He's talking about the permit to plant -- Commissioner Reyes: Oh, the permit to plant. Vice Chair Russell: -- in new construction, correct? Mr. Santana: Correct. There a -- if you plant a tree, that permit comes along with the condition that you are responsible for maintenance of that tree. Vice Chair Russell: Okay. So, on new construction, someone has a tree planting plan that gets approved -- Mr. Santana: Correct. Vice Chair Russell: -- they are then responsible for that. And that's in the swale, because you're supposed to have so many trees per linear footage of frontage on the road, correct? Mr. Santana: Correct. Vice Chair Russell: And that 's your responsibility. If the City planted it? City of Miami Page 129 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Mr. Santana: It is the City's responsibility to maintain that tree. Vice Chair Russell: How do we keep track of that? Who -- like, when Public Works goes down a road and they just want to clean up, do they touch certain trees but not certain trees based on who planted it? Mr. Santana: No. Right now, as far as any -- the maintenance grid that we incorporate, we're responsible for maintaining those on a regularly scheduled basis. Vice Chair Russell: When you say those -- Mr. Santana: As far as keeping track, as far as a tree, it's only trimmed when it's needed. So, if it's a tree that now has been in the ground for ten years, then that tree is not going -- but something that's a seedling, something that's been recently planted, we will not touch that tree. Vice Chair Russell: No. That I understand. I'm just saying -- so when you have your maintenance grid -- Mr. Santana: Correct. Vice Chair Russell: -- you go through a neighborhood, and you see overgrown trees. Mr. Santana: Right. Vice Chair Russell: They're over the fence, they're -- but the swale trees, they could even be affecting a house, like the Commissioner says. Is it the City's responsibility, if it's a City road, to clean up that tree? Mr. Santana: It is. Yes. Commissioner Reyes: Commissioner. Vice Chair Russell: We could do better on that because the -- Commissioner Reyes: Commissioner, right now, I must confess that since I got here, I started -- when Jose was working with me, we started working on moding the tree ordinance and try to find a fund or one of the revenues that we've received from the tree fund in order to have a maintenance program -- Vice Chair Russell: To do street tree maintenance. Commissioner Reyes: -- and a street maintenance, and also, a planting program. But we definitely -- we need a tree maintenance program. We need it. Particularly, you see, we live in hurricane alley, you see. And every single year when hurricane season starts, there are two main concerns of our -- of the residents. One is the trees and the other one are the drain, that they are clogged. And I must compliment -- I mean, congratulate you guys because during this season, this rainy season, your department did an excellent job in my district and all over the City of Miami cleaning those drainage. And we didn't have as much flooding as other cities did. Congratulations, Juvenal. You did a hell of a good job, you see. Mr. Santana: Thank you, sir. Commissioner Reyes: Hell of a good job. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you, Juvenal. Can I let Jenny continue? I apologize. I City of Miami Page 130 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 sidetracked when 1 saw -- Ms. Rogers: That's okay. Vice Chair Russell: -- one of those neighborhoods and it just run to mind. Thank you. Ms. Rogers: We've had many discussions about these things, so -- yes. And as a part of this plan, you know, some of what we're going to be making recommendations towards the end are things about things like that, about things that the City could be doing in terms of maintenance and things like that. So, that's as we get further on in our project. One of the things we've looked at, we have divided the streets into different typologies as we're looking at what is needed on those types of streets in order to plant trees. You can look here at the A and B tree -- street typologies here are streets that really don't need any kind of additional infrastructure in order to plant trees. And this is where you find most of the trees within our project area right now are on A and B streets. C and D streets require a little bit more help. C streets are used primarily for parking on the swale, so parking is an issue with compacted swales, and hitting the trees, and having space for trees even because of the parking issues in those areas. And then typology D already has street parking, so you have to actually create bump -outs and things for trees in order to plant trees in those neighborhoods. So, if vou look at the map on the right, you can see that those greener areas are often within our priority zones. The green areas are ones that probably need a little bit more infrastructure in order to plant in. And that's why they're probably not planted in now because they're not easy to plant in. So, we need to -- we're going to develop strategies as to how to get trees -- more trees into those areas without impacting the neighborhoods in other negative ways because we know in a lot of those neighborhoods parking is very prioritized and we don't want to take any parking away. We just want to try to add trees into it. So, part of our strategy here, our primary focus is looking at ensuring that you get the correct species for the correct growing space. So, a lot of the problems that we have with the current trees are because they're planted in too small a space. So, when we only have a small swale, we need to make sure we're only planting small species trees, et cetera. So, we're developing tree pallets that the City can use so it gives them some -- a science, a clear evidence back to reasons and for species selection. This they can take to the homeowners as well as to the designers, whoever, you know, was developing land and stuff like that so they're planting appropriate species for the size swale that they have. What we're looking to do next is community outreach, and we, I think, are having our first meeting December 1st. And we plan on doing two meetings. The first one is to gather information from the community. The second one will be to come back with some proposals for solutions. So, we're starting our first round of evidence gathering from the communities, which is going to be a little more challenging with COVID, but we are -- at this point, we are planning Zoom -based meetings to reach out to the neighborhoods. At these meetings, we'll be talking about what we said, the benefit of trees, and we'll be giving them some of the information that -- specific information that we've gathered about their neighborhoods. So, all of the trees that we have found there and where we found the deficiencies, things like drainage problems as well. As we move on, we're going to be looking -- developing specific neighborhood plant pallets. We also will be making recommendations for green corridors for them to improve walkability within the neighborhoods, and recommendations for green and blue streets to aid in stormwater management. So, these are all things that we're moving towards. And that's a sort of a brief overview of our project so far, so if you have any questions. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Any questions for Ms. Rogers? Commissioner Reyes: No, no. I had my comments. City of Miami Page 131 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: Is there any action necessary, on this item? Commissioner Reyes: And I know that we are -- Jeremy Calleras-Gauger (Interim Director, Planning): No. Commissioner Reyes: -- they're working on that (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Vice Chair Russell: Thank you very much. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: Yeah. Thank you. Ms. Rogers: Thank you. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: And we're working with Commission offices to set up particular meetings and -- both via Zoom, and I think we're working for at least one outdoor meeting as well. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Mr. Calleras-Gauger Thank you. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Don 't go far, Jeremy.

Vice Chair Russell: Did you read both of them? Mr. Min: That was both. Yes, sir. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Jeremy, if you could remind me, when was the last time this applicant brought a zoning request for the abutting properties to the north? Ben, maybe you can tell me if Jeremy doesn 't know. Ben Fernandez: It was about two years ago. Vice Chair Russell: About two years ago. 1f you will recall at that time, and gentlemen, I need your help on this, because this is the Douglas Road corridor from US-1 all the way north to Coral Way. We identified through that application that we have an incredible opportunity here for an upzoning incorporating affordability and/or contributions to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. You, Commissioner, negotiated on the dais. They were very generous. We worked it out, and then we directed Planning staff to come back with an analysis of that corridor to do a sweeping change that would spur development and get us more affordable housing units or dollars toward the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. There was an analysis made, and I received that not long ago, but it really doesn't give -- unless you can correct me, Jeremy, it doesn't really give a recommendation for a zoning change that really, truly incorporates what we're looking for there. It just sort of analyzed what the conditions are in that area more than anything. Am I wrong? Jeremy Calleras-Gauger (Interim Director, Planning): No. I think that's accurate. The preliminary analysis is primarily looking at existing conditions to think about what size an upzoning could take on. I think the next step is to analyze it in terms of if we want to make it conditional to -- sorry, not conditional, but if it's tied to affordability in some way in a special district. Vice Chair Russell: My question is why has it taken it two years and we still don't have a product that we can pass, that's gone to PZAB (Planning Zoning and Appeals Board), that's come to us. Because I think the will was very clear of the body and I don't know if we need to make a specific resolution directing for this area to get -- you know, I felt we were clear that day, but we haven't moved an inch, which has forced this developer to come back, or their representative to come back to try to get another inch and another inch, where I would say -- you know, and that costs them money and time. I want to open the door and say smart development, healthy development that creates affordability is what we want. And so, he's back with a proffer that is not quite commensurate with the proffer that he offered before, and he 's offering to negotiate with us. And I said, "Listen, I'm not trying to negotiate with you. I'm not trying to haggle on this. I'm trying to spur this area, and I recognize what your client's doing. I want to encourage that." But I don't want to sell short our Affordable Housing Trust Fund as we offer entitlements that give value to your clients. And so, my recommendation is either let us go through this process or perhaps make a proffer -- City of Miami Page 135 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Mr. Fernandez: Commissioner. Vice Chair Russell: -- that is commensurate with what you proffered before. Mr. Fernandez: Commissioner, what we would be willing to do today is to raise our offer to $50, 000, which we think is extremely generous. When you combine it with the previous offer or the previous amount that was provided, it's over $5,000 per unit of increase, 5,172 by my calculation. Vice Chair Russell: Jeremy. They're proffering -- Commissioner Watson: I'm sorry. Vice Chair Russell: If you could help me compare apples to apples, the proffer that was made on the last upzoning that they received. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: The last one was for a much -- was for a larger area. Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: It was for the equivalent of two units, which was five percent of their area, at 80 percent city median income, or a payment of 100, 000. So, a roughly equivalent of 50,000 per unit. This one, five percent of units equals one unit, which, by that math, would equal 50,000 per unit. And then can you update me regarding the AMI (Area Median Income) applicability? Mr. Fernandez: Well, but I think what they're getting at is the dollar contribution. And that was a $100,000 contribution and it was an increase of approximately 18 units over what is permitted. And this would be a -- an increase of 11 units for the additional land -- Mr. Calleras-Gauger: Right. Mr. Fernandez: -- at a proffer of 50,000 -- an additional 50,000, which brings the total to more than $5,000 -- $5,172 per unit of increase in density. So, it's roughly commensurate with it. Vice Chair Russell: Is it commensurate? Mr. Fernandez: I think that Commissioner Carollo indicated at the last meeting it 's closer to 61, if you go right to the number. He's a better mathematician than I. Vice Chair Russell: Is there any onsite affordability that you're providing? Mr. Fernandez: There is. It's the alternative. Yes. Vice Chair Russell: So, it's a choice, one or the other, right? Mr. Fernandez: Correct. Vice Chair Russell: And -- Commissioner Reyes: Can you make them both? Could you make affordability and also the cash? Mr. Fernandez: I'm sorry, Commissioner? City of Miami Page 136 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: Can you offer affordability plus the -- Mr. Fernandez: Yes. Commissioner Reyes: -- contribution? Mr. Fernandez: We do -- it's either/or. Commissioner Reyes: It's either/or? Mr. Fernandez: Yes. It's either the financial -- Commissioner Reyes: Why it cannot be both? Mr. Fernandez: -- contribution prior to permit or the unit contribution. Commissioner Reyes: Why it cannot be both? Mr. Fernandez: Well, no. Not both. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. No, 1 wanted to say, can you offer affordability and plus -- and also --1 mean, increase your -- Mr. Fernandez: But you get the money, and you do what you want with the affordability. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Increase the affordability -- the amount of units -- affordable units or increase the amount of money. I don't know. It's just -- Mr. Fernandez: I'm not authorized to do that with my client today. Vice Chair Russell: So, I'm trying to avoid us getting to this position because I don't want to be accused of contract zoning, that we're negotiating in exchange for zoning. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Vice Chair Russell: I want a template that can be applied to an area that is fair, fair for the developer that incentivizes development, gives them an option. Let's say they're building luxury and they don't want to do affordability on site. They can pay into a trust fund, but I want that to be the more painful option, if I -- if that makes sense. I want to incentivize them to build onsite, and only if they say, listen, no, we don't want to build onsite. I just want to, you know, put it into the trust fund so you can use it elsewhere, that that is a little more -- you understand what I'm saying? Mr. Calleras-Gauger: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: And I think there's possibly two things. There's something called the linkage fee, which is where there's fees linked to certain increases or new development. There's also the approach that I think you saw with the NRD-2 (Neighborhood Revitalization District 2), Wynwood Norte, where we were building in some of those. It's like, yes, you can do this by right, but this increase or a higher - level increase means you need to include "X" number of units or payment into a fund. It puts it out front. City of Miami Page 137 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: And then there's the inclusionary concept we did with T6-24-B -- Mr. Calleras-Gauger: Correct. Vice Chair Russell: -- which could be applied to a T5 zone in a different way. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: Yes. And I think -- Vice Chair Russell: These are the tools we need. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: -- those are things that need to be neighborhood by neighborhood -- Vice Chair Russell: Yeah. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: -- to be effective because of the variety of property values and conditions and appropriateness of different levels of zoning increase. Vice Chair Russell: I need the Planning Department to give us those options and tools so we can apply them neighborhood by neighborhood -- Commissioner Reyes: Absolutely. Vice Chair Russell: -- and not be figuring it out as we go along. 1 think there are best practices out there. And you can see that the will is here to do this. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: The need is here. And I want to incentivize development to do what we need it to do for our residents. In the meantime, I'm not trying to hold up this concept -- Mr. Fernandez: I understand. I appreciate that. Vice Chair Russell: -- you know. And it's not your fault that the department hasn't, you know, come up with this sweeping change for the area. And it would involve a public process because there are residents who lived there now, but there's a lot of potential there. There's a lot of potential there. Commissioner Reyes: There is. Mr. Fernandez: We heard you loud and clear last time. Vice Chair Russell: All right. So, Jeremy, you 're advising that the proffer that's being put on the table now, both for onsite, the AMI and everything, as well as the option for contribution is commensurate with what they've done in the past? Mr. Calleras-Gauger: I'd like to get clarification on the AMI rate because my understanding from the last version I saw was that this was tied to Miami -Dade County AMI Mr. Fernandez: No. That's the prior agreement. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: Okay. Okay. So, I apologize. Mr. Fernandez: This one is not. This one has been revised. City of Miami Page 138 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Mr. Calleras-Gauger: Okay. Vice Chair Russell: The City. Commissioner Reyes: This one is County or County AMI? Mr. Fernandez: No, it's the City. It's the City AMI. Commissioner Reyes: It's the City AMI? Mr. Fernandez: Yes, sir. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: So, then it would be equivalent -- Vice Chair Russell: All right. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: -- roughly. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Vice Chair Russell: I'm fine with it. Mr. Fernandez: Okay. Vice Chair Russell: I think it's -- I -- we need to see this area activated and we need more affordability. Commissioner Reyes: And I agree with you. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you very much. Mr. Fernandez: No. Thank you. Vice Chair Russell: Are there any questions regarding this project for the applicant? Commissioner Reyes: No, sir. Vice Chair Russell: Then I'd welcome a motion for both PZ.4 and 5. Commissioner Reyes: Move it. Commissioner Watson: So moved. Vice Chair Russell: Moved by Commissioner Watson, seconded by Commissioner Reyes. Todd, you had a concern? Mr. Min: And is the --? The covenant's being amended for the second -- the re- zoning or is that just going to be -- a new covenant will be coming back for second reading? Mr. Fernandez: No. It will be -- it'll be a revised covenant with that amount that I mentioned -- Mr. Min: For second reading? Mr. Fernandez: For second reading. City of Miami Page 139 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Mr. Min: And is -- Mr. Fernandez: That's correct. Mr. Min: -- this coming back in second reading in December, Mr. Gauger, or is it January? Commissioner Reyes: Okey-dokev. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: This would be next like meeting, which in this case -- Mr. Min: So, because of the holidays, we actually print quicker than we realize, so we'l1 need that finalized draft by Monday, please. Mr. Fernandez: You got it. Vice Chair Russell: December 10th, it can come back? Mr. Calleras-Gauger: December loth. Vice Chair Russell: Perfect. Any further discussion? Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Sony, Chair. Mr. City Attorney, so then PZ.5 is amend or --? Mr. Min: It will not be as amended. This will be just -- for second reading, we'll update it accordingly. Mr. Hannon: Okay. Vice Chair Russell: So, it's as is? Mr. Min: As is. Vice Chair Russell: The change will come on second reading. Mr. Min: Between first and second. Vice Chair Russell: With the amended covenant proffer. Thankyou, Ben. Mr. Fernandez: Thank you. Commissioner Reyes: We're going to vote, right? Vice Chair Russell: Anv further discussion? All in favor, say "aye." The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Vice Chair Russell: Any opposed? Motion passes for PZ.4 and 5.

Vice Chair Russell: Just a moment. Commissioner Reyes: I have a disclosure to make, that I have met, and I have spoken -- I have spoken with the proposal -- I mean, with the attorney and the owner of this property, which is in my district. Vice Chair Russell: Got it. Did you want to make a motion on the item, or do you want a presentation first? Commissioner Reyes: Well, I have a couple of questions that I want to make. Vice Chair Russell: We'll hold on reading the item. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. And I want to -- Jeremy -- Jeremy Calleras-Gauger (interim Director, Planning): Yes, sir. Commissioner Reyes: By right -- they want to build a hotel there. By right, they have the right to build it? Mr. Calleras-Gauger: They have the right to build it on the T6-8. Commissioner Reyes: As high as what? Mr. Calleras-Gauger: The T6-8 portion, which is the portion that's fronting 42nd, which I believe is -- Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: -- not the subject of this re -zoning, that can be eight stories by right and -- Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: -- up to 12 with public benefits. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. They can build also an apartment complex if they want, a building if they want. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: Correct, yeah. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Commissioner Carollo: This is what, T6? Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: T6-8. Commissioner Carollo: T6-8? City of Miami Page 142 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Commissioner Carollo: That's up to eight stories. Commissioner Reyes: Eight stories. Simon. Simon Ferro: Yes, I apologize. I'm trying to -- this was set up -- first of all, good morn -- good afternoon. Commissioner Reyes: I remember you back in the University of Florida. You never were very technologically inclined. Mr. Ferro: No. 1 -- Mr. Calleras-Gauger: Can we get some IT (Information Technology) help, please? Mr. Ferro: This was set up for a PowerPoint. I'm hoping that the IT person who helped me before can come back here because it was set up and I just don't -- don't have it here now, but I apologize. Commissioner, what was your question? Commissioner Reyes: I did ask -- when you came to me, I asked that you meet with the residents. And that you -- Mr. Ferro: Yes. We -- Commissioner Reyes: -- that you met with the residents, and you explained what was going on in there. I also asked that -- I requested that you -- I didn't want the exit or entrance on the side streets, on 3rd Street or 4th Street. I want it just on Le Jeune Road so the residents won't be -- I mean, the traffic will not go into the neighborhood. And I also asked that you also offer some road improvements and all the -- I mean, speed bumps and et cetera, et cetera. And I want to hear what you are going to offer us. Mr. Ferro: Let me address your questions. We're trying to get the PowerPoint up. First of all, Commissioner, members of the board, Simon Ferro, with offices at 2525 Ponce de Leon Boulevard. I represent the applicant. This application was actually filed in May of last year, and for a number of reasons, it got delayed, and then COVID came along and that delayed it even further. But in last year, we met with -- we had a neighborhood meeting. We mailed out flyers both in Spanish and in English to the people, the same people that you mailed out notices 500 feet radius. We invited them to a meeting at Kinloch Park. One person showed up, and we have kept in contact with that person. She lives a couple of houses west of this property. And in fact, over the last couple of months, we have had two virtual meetings with a smaller group of neighbors that basically this person, Lourdes Echemendia, who is the lady that we met with, the only one that went last year to the neighbors meeting. And we have had two virtual meetings with her and with a small group of neighbors. We also canvassed the surrounding areas. We canvassed from -- now, again, this is on the west side of Le Jeune Road and 3rd Street. So, the address is 4214 Southwest 3rd Street. So, we canvassed from 2nd Street all the way down to almost 7th Street and two blocks west. And we have 53 signatures of support for the application, which I will submit for the record when I finish. So, we have met with the neighbors. Now, Tye have not been able to agree on everything with the neighbors, so I cannot come here and tell you that the neighbors we met with support the application, but we have done everything possible to mitigate all the issues that were of concern to the Commissioner and also to some of the neighborhood residents, especially traffic. Traffic -- this application -- and again, I wish I could -- if I can get this up, but to show you, we are -- we have put these conditions in a declaration of restrictions City of Miami Page 143 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 which we have submitted. It's on the record. It's actually being reviewed by Anther Ketterer because we modified these yesterday. So, we have -- one of the things that we've done is, we have committed not to have any exits or vehicular ingress and egress off of 3rd Street. We have -- all the ingress and egress will be from Le Jeune Road. Now this is a big offer and commitment on our part. The application only affects one parcel of land, which is the third lot from Le Jeune Road, which is zoned T3. The same owner owns the two lots immediately west of this lot -- east of this lot, I'm sorry, and they are zoned T6-8. So, anybody can come and -- on the T6-8 lots, develop according to T6-8. You can have a hotel. You can have an apartment building. You can have an office building. So, those two lots that are immediately east of our property can independently be developed with an eight -story building. This lot -- what we're trying to do with this lot is to create a transition from the T6-8 lots to the T3 that are west of the property. So, this approval, this application will actually fill in a gap on the west side of Le Jeune Road that has T6-8 fronting on Le Jeune Road and then has T4 and then goes down to T3. This is the only area on Le Jeune Road on the west side that does not have a T4 transition buffer -- Commissioner Reyes: Yeah, I know. Mr. Ferro: -- between the T6-8 and T3. So, the intent here is to -- if we have the T4, this T4 will be joined to the T6-8 lots to our east for an integrated development and that protects the neighborhood. And because we submitted a covenant committing that we're not going to have ingress and egress on T -- on the -- on 3rd Street, which by the way, per code, that's where we're supposed to have it. Per the code, you're not supposed to have ingress and egress on the primary frontage. You're supposed to have it on the secondary frontage, which is -- would be the 3rd Street. We have committed to have it on Le Jeune Road, which may actually require a waiver at some point in time, but we're willing to do that to make this a better development. We have also committed to have a 15 foot buffer, heavily landscaped buffer on this lot, on what would be the T4 lot, closest to the T3. So, on the west side of this T4, hopefully T4 lot, instead of having a five foot setback, which is the legal setback or allowable setback under T4 and T3, we're going to have a 15 foot landscaped buffer with trees and with shrubbery. And we've already submitted a -- an exhibit to the covenant that shows how those -- that buffer will look like. We have also committed $16, 000 to the tree fund. We've committed -- we're committed to -- let me actually list them since I do have the declaration with me. We have the landscape buffer. We have the no ingress and egress off of 3rd Street. We have public benefits. We have job creation and employment opportunities, where we're going to prioritize hiring from the surrounding ZIP (Zoning Improvement Plan) codes. We have street trees, contribution of $16,000. We agreed to incorporate a public art component as part of the integrated development. We're going to make a $2,500 contribution to the arts funding. We're going to also make a $20,000 contribution to traffic calming within the area bordered by 2nd Street, 5th Street and Le Jeune and 44th Avenues. And if the neighbors at some point in time are interested in developing, we would participate in the restricted residential parking permit program to make sure that there no parking in the swale areas. Now again, because all of our frontage and all of our ingress will be on Le Jeune Road, it is absolutely impossible for any traffic emanating from this property, whether it's a hotel, an apartment building, or an office building, onto the streets because they are on Le Jeune. Vice Chair Russell: Commissioner, yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: What's your total financial investment in community benefits? Mr. Ferro: The financial investment on the development of the property or --? City of Miami Page 144 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: No, no, no. For community benefits. For community benefits. Mr. Ferro: Oh, for community benefits. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yes. Mr. Ferro: Well, you have the $16,000 tree fim.d, you have the $2,500 art fund and you have -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Twenty-five -- hold on. $2,500 -- Mr. Ferro: No, 25 -- 20 -- 2,500. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: 2,500. Mr. Ferro: For art funding -- public -- City's public art fund to support visual and performing arts programming at Kinloch Park Elementary, in accordance with Section 62-661 of the City Code. And we have a $20,000 contribution to the City for traffic calming within the general area. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Traffic calming devices like what? Mr. Ferro: Like speed bumps. Speed bumps, 1 think is what -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I'm sorry, what was your total contribution to that? Mr. Ferro: 20,000. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: How much? Mr. Ferro: 20,000. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. So how many traffic calming devices you get for 20K? Mr. Ferro: I'm sorry? Commissioner Reyes: One. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: How many traffic calming devices do you get for 20K? Mr. Ferro: I'm not sure. I know you get at least one. Commissioner Reyes: One. I can tell you, only one. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Only one. Commissioner Reyes: Only one. They have only one street. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right, only one street, which is 44th Avenue, or is it --? Commissioner Reyes: No, 3rd Street. 42nd and 3rd. City of Miami Page 145 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And 3rd. So, that's our border, right? Commissioner Reyes: That's right, that's right. It's on the -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah. So, I think part of it is in my district and part of it is in yours. Commissioner Reyes: That is on the southern -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: On the south side. Commissioner Reyes: -- on the south side. It doesn't touch your district at all. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So far. The districts may change pretty soon. 1 don 't know. Commissioner Reyes: Well, Idon't know, asoftoday. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That's a debate. That's a debate to be had. Commissioner Reyes: As of today, it is all mine. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It's all yours. Okay. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: All right. So, the total contribution in community benefits, what's the total amount? Mr. Ferro: Well, 20, 16, 36, and 2,500, thirty-eight five. And that does not include whatever the developer spends on the -- on landscaping which will be, you know, within the property but will be extensive. And also, the public arts or the public art that the developer will have to incorporate within the building or on the building. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Mr. Ferro: But again, something very important, this project, whatever it is, will generate absolutely no traffic into the neighborhood because if you come in on Le Jeune Road, you go out on Le Jeune Road. There's absolutely no reason why anybody -- now, were it not for our commitment to not have ingress and egress on 3rd Street -- which again, per the code, it's where we're supposed to have it -- were it not for that commitment, we would by Code be obligated to have ingress and egress on 3rd Street. So, we're going beyond the scope of what we normally would have to do and commit we're not going to have it on 3rd Street. We 're going to ask for a waiver, which is an administrative process, which, you know, can go either way, but you know, it's not never an assured thing. And we 're willing to do that to address the issue which I think that's the most important issue -- Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Mr. Ferro: -- on something like this is traffic. Because visually, if you take those two T6-8 lots by themselves without a restriction -- because at that point, you know, you're doing it as a right, right? -- you are forced to have ingress and egress on 3rd Street, you're forced to do it. So, without this application and without the request for the T4 so we can go from T6, T4, and T3, if somebody came in and said, I just want to buy the two lots on the corner and I'm not interested in that third lot as a transition lot, nobody would be here before you today committing to not have ingress and egress City of Miami Page 146 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 off of 3rd Street, which again, 1 believe is a huge plus for the neighborhood. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. And that was something that I stressed when 1 spoke with you about this project. Also, it is very important that -- I know that you have a service entrance on 3rd Street, and I will like a covenant that we are going to limit deliveries hours, you see. Only -- and we'll say on the weekdays and from 8 to 4, 7 to 3, or something like that and leave the -- I mean, don't do any deliveries after that so you don 't bother the neighbors. Mr. Ferro: Commissioner, we've already included that in the draft that we prepared yesterday. The -- Commissioner Reyes: 1 want to make sure that the covenant is in place. Mr. Ferro: It is here, and it actually reads, there shall be no vehicular ingress and egress from Southwest 3rd Street to the integrated development. However, a loading and delivery area and trash pickup may be located on 3rd Street because it 's the only place to put it. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Mr. Ferro: Deliveries shall be limited to the hours of 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Commissioner Reyes: And lastly, you have an estimate how many jobs are going to be created -- permanent jobs? Mr. Ferro: By the way, this is Mr. Benito Irastorza, who would be the developer. Between 20 and 30 permanent jobs would be created by this development -- Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Mr. Ferro: -- if it's approved. Commissioner Reyes: Any other questions? I move for this to be approved. Commissioner Carollo: Second. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. That's PZ.6 and 7 has been moved by Commissioner Reyes, seconded by Commissioner Carollo. Any further discussion? All in favor of the item? Mr. Min: I need to read the title, please. Vice Chair Russell: Oh, thank you very much. Mr. Min: PZ.6.

Vice Chair Russell: No. City of Miami Page 150 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Watson: They're not companion items, but they're -- if I'm not mistaken though, interrelated? The trust fund parking and the north -- that north zoning. Jeremy Calleras-Gauger (Interim Director, Planning): No, sorry. That was FR.3 and FR. 4. Commissioner Watson: Oh, this is nonconforming structures. Okay. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: Yeah. Commissioner Watson: Apologize. Vice Chair Russell: Not at all. (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Vice Chair Russell: Yes. There is a motion. Is there a second for the remaining PZ agenda? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Well, no. Vice Chair Russell: We're not going to move fast. We're going to discuss them each, but he 's just trying to put it all on the table. Commissioner Reyes: If you want, you can pull it out (INAUDIBLE). Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right, right. I know, I know, I know. I'm still young enough. PZ.8, we pulled it out, right? Commissioner Reyes: Pull it out. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah. Vice Chair Russell: You want to take up PZ.8 separately. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah. Vice Chair Russell: All right. So -- Mr. Min: And Mr. Chair. Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Mr. Min: There is a suggested amendment to both PZ.9 -- and I believe the -- District 4 has -- Commissioner Reyes has an amendment to PZ.16. For PZ.9, the suggestion - - this is coming from the City Attorney's Office, which I believe Planning agrees with. For the amendment to Section 1.2, instead of language that's there now, instead of making that change, to add language at the end to state -- to clarify that the definition of waterfront is limited to the purpose of the Miami 21 Code only. (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So -- hold on. Vice Chair Russell: So, we haven't had a second yet. So, if you want to take them separately, we can. We can move and second on each one, address each amendment, City of Miami Page 151 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 vote on each one. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Of course. Vice Chair Russell: You'd prefer -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Of course. Vice Chair Russell: All right. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Of course. [Later...] Vice Chair Russell: Would you like to make a motion on PZ.8 then? (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Vice Chair Russell: Okay. So, for PZ.8, we have a motion from Commissioner Reyes, second from Commissioner Carollo. This is the small parks zoning text amendment. There's a motion, there's a second. Is there any discussion? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Can you walk me through it? (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Vice Chair Russell: Actually, I believe Commissioner Carollo is the sponsor of this item. Is that correct? (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Commissioner Carollo: Basicallv, this is -- Vice Chair Russell: Your microphone, please. Commissioner Carollo: -- some exception to be able to have what some call mini parks that are under 40,000 square feet in the City, whether -- any district. Instead of having to come in, do each park, approve it, it's just a flat approval for any future mini parks that we do in any of our districts. So, that's the bottom line. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, what's the current process right now? How does it work? Jeremy Calleras-Gauger (Interim Director, Planning): So -- Commissioner Carollo: Go ahead, Jeremy. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: -- in order to permit a recreational use, like a park use, in, for instance, a T3, which is a single family district, you are able to do it, but you have to do -- go through a process of an exception, which is a fairly high burden. When you rezone the land first to CS (Civic Space), for one thing, it makes it more difficult for it to not be a park in the future. You know, it really locks it in as that park use. You still do need a warrant for the use, because again, this is something that could negatively impact the neighbors. So, we ask for that process. So, it would simpli the process for permitting park uses. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And what's the Administration's position on this, City of Miami Page 152 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Mr. Manager? If I may, through you. Vice Chair Russell: Of course. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Are there unintended consequences here? Mr. Calleras-Gauger: So, I believe this was amended to include language regarding no net loss and the applicability of these properties for no net loss, which could negatively impact the City's future flexibility in terms of when we -- when we've done these before, we've had a couple of projects recently where a new development came in. It negatively impacted no net loss, but it was a very small amount, and we were able to offset that with a replacement space of similar size. So, 1 think this would prohibit that. The instance I'm talking about now was the downtown rail station. There was a triangular parcel of land near the courthouse that was a park space. When they expanded, they were able to offset that. It was -- I don't know the exact size, but it was, I think, under 10,000 square feet. So, with the language as is, the only way they would be able to offset that was if -- is if they were to get something larger than 40,000 square feet if I understand it correctly. So -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That's not clear to me. Can you explain it? In other words, if it's less -- I'm sorry, if7 may, through you. Vice Chair Russell: Of course. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, if it's less than 40,000 square feet, you can offset it. The language as is being the existing law versus what this bill does -- what this ordinance does? Mr. Calleras-Gauger: I think the amended language says that no -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: This amended language? Mr. Calleras-Gauger: Yeah. No land less than 40,000 square feet could be used to address a no net loss issue. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So -- Mr. Calleras-Gauger: And in -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- really it impacts probably a broader project, right, at the end of the day. Because you can't use smaller parcels to address a no net loss issue, right? Mr. Calleras-Gauger: Correct. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Correct. So, hypothetically, we're dealing with let's say, a soccer stadium, hypothetically, that we can't use the small parcels of land to offset the no net loss policy, right? (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Vice Chair Russell: Your microphone, please. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That's a question. Commissioner Carollo: I'll let you guys deal with the no net loss or net gain or maybe loss, gain. The idea that I saw in this was that instead of wasting two years City of Miami Page 153 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 when you huy land for a mini park for a neighborhood, which will take you about two years to go through the whole process to get it rezoned and the whole bit, this would save you all that time if you get land then you could do a mini park fairly quick. Of course, the other stumbling block you have we can 't resolve like that here, which is no matter how small of a parcel it is, the City is going to tell you that it's going to cost you a million -and -a -half to do each park. I got one that's 25,000 square feet and they're telling me is three million, so that's another issue that we're going to have to discuss up here to go outside of all these vendors the City has and the whole process they have. But this addresses strictly the issue of saving all that time. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Commissioner Carollo: As far as net loss, net gain, I'll leave that up to you guys. I'm too tired at this point in time to -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Too tired? Commissioner Carollo: -- get into the fray. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: You look very hyper today, Commissioner. You look good today. Vice Chair Russell: It's only 6 o'clock. It's only our sixth Commission meeting this week. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: You got to have (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Commissioner Carollo: Remember, I was supposed to, you know, be resting this week. I told you guys. Commissioner Reyes: Well, we should -- Commissioner Carollo: I have an old (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Vice Chair Russell: So, like -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: The issue -- I'm sorry, Mr. Chair, ifI may. So, it's kind of like -- I get what you're trying to go because I agree with the idea of having mini parks. I think that we should do more of those to have that green space available in our neighborhoods. I'm just a little bit concerned about the law of unintended consequences, right, at the end of the day. Sometimes we pass things and maybe it has a long-term effect, a long-term impact on something else. So, if you can, Mr. Manager, and not your subordinate, but you, can you address this issue? Will it have --? Will it create an issue if we want, hypothetically, again, to deal with a different issue, a bigger issue down the line --? Commissioner Reyes: No, it's not hypothetically. You 're dealing with it straight, man. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I know, I know. Commissioner Reyes: I love you. I know. We know each other too long. Don 't beat around the bush without addressing that. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But we're not talking about it today because it's City of Miami Page 154 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 not on the agenda, right? But 1 do want to know -- no, it's not on the agenda today, that's why 1 want to talk about it now. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And my position is clear, right? I just want to know if it has an impact on what we want to do down the line. Art Noriega (City Manager): Yeah. It could absolutely have an impact. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Mr. Noriega: Specifically with Miami Freedom Park, yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yes. Mr. Noriega: Because as we're addressing -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So -- (MULTIPLE PARTIES SPEAKING IN UNISON) Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- that's the elephant in the room, right? Commissioner Reyes: The -- Mr. Noriega: As we're addressing the issue (UNINTELLIGIBLE) -- Commissioner Reyes: May I also interject here? You see, one thing that we have to is to be honest about no net loss. And what this preclude is to use even the swales as no net loss. The spirit of that legislation was not to lose park space. And if we are going to use -- I mean, I'm not talking hypothetically now. I'm talking about let's be specific. Any (UNINTELLIGIBLE) parkland that we use, okay, that we give away, and then we are going to replace that by ten lots that they are ten -- 100 by 60, a little piece here and a little piece there, that's not real a replacement. And that is what it is going to affect, not only this, any other loss that we have, okay? I mean, this is going to say, okay, we're going to replace the no net loss. Well, let's set a minimum, a minimum size of land that it could be replaced with, not little -- I mean, little -- let's say you go to this little mini park that 1 had a couple of lots that I inherited that are 60 by 100 and that is going to be replacing 72 acres? I mean, the park -- we're going to add them up piece by piece by piece and it will be replaced? That is disingenuous. You see, that is not it. Now, if you tell me we're going to replace it with pieces of I mean, whatever, you know, that big size, two acres, one acre and all that, yeah, that would be it. But these are the little parks, mini parks that -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But the reality is that we don 't have that concentration of park space -- Commissioner Reyes: Well, then -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- and green space anywhere in the City of Miami. Commissioner Reyes: Then -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, to be honest, right, it's a poison pill for something else. City of Miami Page 155 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: Hey, listen -- listen. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right? It's okay. We could disagree on the issue. Commissioner Reyes: We disagree. I mean, we -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That's okay. Commissioner Reyes: -- agree to disagree. I'm voting in favor of this, and you vote against it. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But the idea of mini parks is one thing. Either mini parks are valuable or they're not. You can't make both arguments. It's either a mini park is valuable or it's not. All of a sudden you say it's not valuable when it comes to this situation, but it's valuable when it comes to that. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It's either one or the other, right? Commissioner Reyes: You know -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, 1 think what this does -- what I think what this does is limit our flexibility, our ability to create, you know, additional green space to make up whatever we're going to do somewhere else. So, if somebody's going to tie - - I don't want my hands tied. I don't want -- Commissioner Reyes: Do you understand --? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- this Commission's hands tied. Commissioner Reyes: The only, thing that is placing is a limit because 40,000 square feet it is great, not small, okay. I mean, it has to be greater than that. And that's what it's doing. And I also, you know, it is -- make it easier to make -- to have a mini park. Now if you want to vote against it, vote against it. That's it. But you know, it is late. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: No, no. It's a conversation. Commissioner Reyes: It is late. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It's a conversation. Commissioner Reyes: We've been here for five days because of you, you see. You called all these meetings. And if you want to vote, vote against it, but let's not argue about it. You're not going to convince me. I'm not going to convince you. Let the people Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: No, no, no, no, no. Commissioner Reyes: Let the chips fall where they may. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Well, it's not about convincing. It's about having the -- a debate about what the reality is. Commissioner Reyes: It is a debate. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So -- City of Miami Page 156 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: It's a valid debate. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It's a debate that's a fair -- Commissioner Reyes: It is a valid debate. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It's a valid debate for the -- Commissioner Reyes: 1 mean, you believe -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- in the sake -- but for the sake of transparency -- Commissioner Reyes: Yes, sir, transparency. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- let's have a debate what it's really about. Commissioner Reyes: That is why -- Vice Chair Russell: Just for the sake of capturing the record, just one at a time, if you can. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. That is why 1 tell you, let's not be here for hypothetically. Let's be straight about it. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right. Commissioner Reyes: See, you are defending the park. Commissioner Carollo: Well -- Commissioner Reyes: The development. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: No. Commissioner Reyes: You are thinking about the development that is going to hurt it. And I am thinking about net loss. That's it. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right, right. Commissioner Reyes: I mean, that is -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Well, number one, the development is in my district. The district that I now represent. Commissioner Reyes: But it is in my city. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I'm not going to Shenandoah -- Commissioner Reyes: No, no. Wait a minute. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- and building a park there, right? Commissioner Reyes: Wait. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, what I'm doing is -- hold on. There's a deference that's given to Commissioners from different districts, right? I have been City of Miami Page 157 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 very clear from the beginning. 1 've been very clear that as long as it's a good deal for the City of Miami, we'll build Miami Freedom Park. 1 haven't hidden that from anybody. From the day 1 started campaigning when 1 -- before 1 was a Commissioner. But what I haven't done -- what I haven 't done is, you know, put different things in legislation that are really impact -- are going to impact the end result. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But this is not about mini parks. 1 love mini parks. 1 wish -- I know Commissioner Carollo has done, I think, six, right, Commissioner Carollo? When I was campaigning, you drove me around and you showed me which I think are here. Commissioner Carollo: We bought land for six. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: You bought land for six, right? I want to do that in my district too, but this is really a poison pill for something else. Commissioner Reyes: You know -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, let's be -- this is a poison pill for something else. Commissioner Reyes: Let me clarify something, Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla. Commissioner Carollo: Listen -- Commissioner Reyes: We are -- Commissioner Carollo: I don 't want to -- Commissioner Reyes: Hold on a second, Mr. Carollo, let me clarib) something. Because we tend -- and one thing that I had never accepted is that we have little (UNINTELLIGIBLE). It is my district and I do what I want. My, -- if I don't recall wrong, my title is City of Miami Commissioner. You are a City of Miami Commissioner. Any project that comes in my area, I mean, you're welcome -- you're welcome. And we all should look out for the best of it. There was a -- the other day we were asked -- we were dealing with issues that affected Commissioner Russell's district because we are City of Miami Commissioners. I mean, when you said, it is in my district, yes, it is in your district, but it's in my city. You know what I mean? And if you don 't want to -- I mean, I got it, but what you want -- you don't want it to pass because it could have effect -- a negative effect. Fantastic. Everybody heard it. So, I think that those that think that it should pass would vote for it and you vote against it, but that's it. Or we defer it. Whatever you want. But amen, let's move. Vice Chair Russell: We've -- I think we've had a pretty good day here. I'm wondering if -- and I agree with the spirit of what you're saying. We should not be taking swales -- Commissioner Reyes: Yeah. Vice Chair Russell: -- and unusable land. Commissioner Reyes: Absolutely. Vice Chair Russell: Forty thousand square feet is quite large. City of Miami Page 158 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: Well -- Vice Chair Russell: Right? So -- Commissioner Reyes: -- make it smaller. Vice Chair Russell: Just a moment. Like a typical lot in the Grove -- Commissioner Reyes: Make it smaller. Vice Chair Russell: -- 5,000 square foot, that's, you know -- Commissioner Reyes: Make it -- I mean -- Vice Chair Russell: -- eight lots. Commissioner Reyes: Those little -- mini parks, for example, that they are less than 20. Vice Chair Russell: Yeah, and they're great. And so, it's really. -- Commissioner Reyes: They're great, but they -- Vice Chair Russell: If I could just try here. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Let me -- Commissioner Carollo: So you guys could understand, I got one that's 30,000 square feet. I got another one that 's 25,000 square feet, and the other four are different sizes from -- Vice Chair Russell: And that's a park. That's legit. Commissioner Carollo: -- close to 15 to, you know, less. So, anyway, you know, in the midst of all this, I started wondering, what would have the Christina King have said about this? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Let's ask this Commissioner, number five, number (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Vice Chair Russell: Before we go there -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Because it's all related, right? Vice Chair Russell: I think really, it's about the size. I like the concept of where you're going. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It's always about the size, right? Vice Chair Russell: I think we don 't want to take advantage and swap out good parks for something that's unusable. But what's the smallest where you wouldn't consider it a good park? It might be a policy discussion. Commissioner Reyes: Hey, listen, I don't know. This affects also (INAUDIBLE) we take and resolve it. City of Miami Page 159 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: Yeah. Commissioner Reyes: I mean, I don't know. I mean, what are just the average size of these little mini parks that we have? Vice Chair Russell: Yeah. Commissioner Reyes: You see, I would say about 20,000. Vice Chair Russell: So, if we were to buy two lots, two 5,000 square foot lots, and make that a park, that's a 10,000 square foot. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Vice Chair Russell: And -- Commissioner Reyes: Those are the ones that I don 't want to see. You see, those 20,000 -- 20,000 or 10,000 be used for -- I mean, replacement for nothing. Vice Chair Russell: Would you like to proffer an amendment? Commissioner Reyes: I could proffer an -- Vice Chair Russell: It sounds like he's open. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Maybe you can proffer the amendment. Vice Chair Russell: Well, I'm trying to find what that balance is because it's -- it -- Commissioner Reyes: Well -- Vice Chair Russell: I agree, like maybe a 5,000 square foot lot, fair enough. Commissioner Reyes: I am not the sponsor. The sponsor is Carollo. Vice Chair Russell: Who is the mover? Commissioner Reyes: I move. Vice Chair Russell: If you're the mover, you can accept the amendment. Commissioner Reyes: Well -- Vice Chair Russell: And he actually specifically said when it comes to this issue, he's going to leave it up to the dais. Commissioner Reyes: I mean, all for it, size and I accept the amendment. It's like 20,000. Commissioner Carollo: What's the amendment? Vice Chair Russell: He's saying he'd like to exclude parks under 20,000 square feet instead of 40,000 square feet. So, we've got some movement here. Commissioner Carollo: Well, look, I don 't care what you add, what you delete. I just want to make sure that the sizes that I gave you don 't have to go through two years of -- you know, that could, you know, be approved right away. Then you guys do City of Miami Page 160 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 whatever you want, add it, delete it. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Commissioner Carollo: All this other stuff. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Is there a way though, Mr. Chair? Mr. Manager, is there a way to do it so we can address the issue of mini parks, which I agree, and not impact the no net loss policy for moving forward? Mr. Noriega: Well, unfortunately, this language tied it -- they tied -- it tied it together. So, the issue is, do you want to compromise on the size, right, of the limit, the threshold? 1 think that's where we probably have the most -- the highest opportunity at this point to get this passed. So, the issue is right now it stands at 40 -- 40,000 square feet is almost an acre. So, I think if we get it somewhere south of 20, it would make a lot of sense. Commissioner Watson: Mr. Manager, what did you say? Vice Chair Russell: So -- Unidentified Speaker: Mr. Chair -- Commissioner Watson: Yeah. Commissioner Reyes: Let's reduce it. Commissioner Watson: Mr. Manager, what was your comment? 40,000's what? Mr. Noriega: 40,000 square feet is almost an acre -- Commissioner Watson: Right. Right -- Mr. Noriega: -- so it's a pretty substantial piece of property -- Commissioner Watson: Right. Mr. Noriega: -- to not have the flexibility to be able to use it for no net loss. So, what I'm saying is if the proposal's 20,000, I think -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: There is no proposal. We're having a conversation, okay. Mr. Noriega: Well, whatever it may be. So, I'm -- I just think it's -- it needs to be somewhere south of that to give us the flexibility. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: How far south? Mr. Noriega: You want me to throw you a number? I say 15. Commissioner Reyes: I say 20. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: How about 17-and-a-ha f? We're all good to go? Commissioner Reyes: Well, 18. Vice Chair Russell: This is a Planning staff nightmare. City of Miami Page 161 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Reyes: 18 and that's it. Commissioner Watson: But I mean, he has a -- Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Commissioner Watson: -- site that's 30,000 square feet. So, in the spirit of -- Commissioner Carollo: I got one that's 30,000, one that's 25,000. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. That's it. Vice Chair Russell: You're recognized. Commissioner Watson: No, no. I'm saying he's -- we -- he's at 30,025. Commissioner Reyes: Twenty-five. Commissioner Watson: Seventeen five is not going to work, right? Commissioner Reyes: 25,000 is what he has. Commissioner Watson: Because it's just as much procedural as it is no net loss. I mean, I've tried to deal with that issue. Even if you tried to do 100 feet, you've got to replace it somewhere, so now he's got a bigger problem. So, 1 don't know. Commissioners (INAUDIBLE). Vice Chair Russell: So, there's an -- I mean, obviously we're dealing with two things. One is the spirit of the initial spirit of the legislation -- Commissioner Watson: Right. Vice Chair Russell: -- which gives flexibility for smaller parks. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, I want to move for -- I'm going to make a motion for 15,000 square feet. Commissioner Reyes: No. Let me -- I would not accept that because we have a park, which is Fairlawn Park, which is anything less than 25,000 could affect it, and it could affect him also. Vice Chair Russell: I'm sorry, I don't understand. Commissioner Reyes: I have a park which is 25,000. Vice Chair Russell.• Yes. Commissioner Reyes: I mean, over a little bit, but anything less than 25,000, it could affect his park. It's going to affect mine. Vice Chair Russell: I just guess -- I don't understand what you mean it -- anything less than 20 -- you're talking about the no net loss policy, right? Commissioner Reyes: No. I'm not talking about what he's trying to do. It's going to be also net -- no net loss, but he wants -- what do we want? You want to just to go right ahead and do the parks without all the -- City of Miami Page 162 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Carollo: I do. The -- what I'm told though is that the two big parks that 1 have are each a couple of parcels, one might even be three. So, if that's the case, then I'll be fine with the 15,000. Well, no, I won 't be fine with the 15,000 because one is 18,000. Commissioner Reyes: Yeah. Commissioner Carollo: So, you're going to have to split the baby a little higher than that. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: 18, 001 ? Commissioner Carollo: Yeah, or -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: 18,000? Commissioner Carollo: -- eighteen five. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Eighteen five, okay. (UNINTELLIGIBLE) 18,500. Commissioner Reyes: Let's check because this has to do with re -zone and platting, okay, mostly than anything else. 1 want to check that -- 1 mean, I'm putting them together for a park, which is going to be bigger than 40,000. 1 mean, it could be used. It is in Flaganti, you see. Vice Chair Russell: But -- Commissioner Reyes: You see, if this is going to affect 15,000, it's going to affect the rezoning and platting, I cannot accept it. But 1 want to make sure it is. Vice Chair Russell: But let me introduce a hypothetical where this could cause an issue. Because let's say we have a mini park in a neighborhood -- Commissioner Reyes: Okay, 15 is fine. We do a unity of title and that's it. 15 is fine. Okay. Commissioner Carollo: No, no, no, I need 18 -- Commissioner Reyes: Oh, well, 18/ Commissioner Carollo: -- and change because -- Commissioner Reyes: 18. Commissioner Carollo: -- I have one that's 18. Commissioner Diaz de to Portilla: It's eighteen five, I think we said. Commissioner Reyes: Eighteen five? You said eighteen five? Commissioner Carollo: All right, yeah. Vice Chair Russell: You all lost me, but it feels like you have a consensus, so I'll go with it. Commissioner Reyes: Okay, eighteen five. I accept the amendment fOr eighteen five. City of Miami Page 163 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Before we do that, Mr. Manager, does that work -- Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- from your perspective? Mr. Noriega: Say again, sir. I lost track of where we are in the number. Commissioner Reyes: There's an amendment. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: The 18,500 -- Commissioner Reyes: There is an -- Mr. Noriega: Can we try to get to like a round number which would be great? I mean -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: 18,233, or not, okay. Mr. Noriega: Something that's a little easier to manage than eighteen five. I mean, just help me out just a little bit. Fifteen, twenty -- Commissioner Watson: Twenty. Mr. Noriega: -- one of the two maybe. Commissioner Watson: Does 20 work? Commissioner Reyes: Eighteen? Mr. Noriega: Because I just think we need to -- Commissioner Watson: Twenty works. Mr. Noriega: -- get to a round number. Commissioner Reyes: Eighteen -- Commissioner Watson: Twenty works. Commissioner Reyes: -- we'll be find with (INAUDIBLE). Mr. Noriega: (INAUDIBLE) over -complicating it. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Well, I think we want to -- we need to accomplish -- ifI may, Mr. Chair. We need to accomplish two things. I agree with Commissioner Carollo a hundred percent that we need to be -- have the ability to fast track our mini parks. Commissioner Reyes: Absolutely. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Because I want to do that in my district. Allapattah and District 1 does not have the amount of mini parks that we need. Commissioner Reyes: Yes, you -- City of Miami Page 164 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, I get that. Commissioner Reyes: -- need (INAUDIBLE). Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I don't want to have to wait two years for that. Commissioner Reyes: No, you need to move. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But I also don 't want to impact something else that's going to happen in District 1, or may happen, if we can come to consensus, which is a major development in District 1, right, with City of Miami, but also within District 1, right? Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, I want to see if we can get there without impacting our no net loss policy. At the end of the day, if 20,000 works for your purposes or what you're promoting, right, because you're supporting of -- you're supporting of Miami Freedom Park. Let's be honest, right? No more hypotheticals, I agree. So, does that work? Does 20,000 square feet work fbr you? Mr. Noriega: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay, so that's the amendment. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Twenty thousand square feet, that way we accomplish both things. Commissioner Reyes: Hallelujah, hallelujah. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, that's my amendment to your -- Commissioner Reyes: The amendment -- I accept the amendment. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Thank vou, sir. Vice Chair Russell: Seconder? Commissioner Watson: Second. Commissioner Carollo: 20,000, right? Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Commissioner Reyes: Yeah, 20,000 it is. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: You got an extra 1,500 square feet, Commissioner. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. That is -- see how generous he is. His generosity. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: No, because actually, in all seriousness, I'll tell you something. One of the things that Commissioner Carollo has done that -- when I was running for office and he was helping me, he drove me around and he had this vision which I thought was a great thing and a vision that's -- he's bringing to fruition City of Miami Page 165 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 of creating mini parks within neighborhoods. And that's important because all kids, no matter -- they don't have to (INAUDIBLE) in Coconut Grove, all kids should be able to go to parks and have access to parks. Commissioner Reyes: That's what I'm doing. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And when I was walking door-to-door during that same time that he was driving around and showing me all the parks, all the space that he was -- all the green space he was buying, I was walking door-to-door in my district campaigning. And there was no -- there were no trees, there were no parks -- Commissioner Reyes: No, no parks. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- there was nothing. I mean, we're still waiting for a pool, right? So, there's nothing. And I said, you know, and I -- and to go to a restaurant, I had to go to where you like, La Roma, or we had to go somewhere else, and we had to go outside the district to even eat after 7 o 'clock at night. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. You're absolutely right. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, this district is an underserved district, a district that deserves a lot of attention. So, the mini park idea is a great idea. 1 don't want to have to wait two years because 1 don't have that much time. I'm not as old as you but 1'rn getting old, you know. I don't want to have to wait. I don't want to have to wait that long, you know, so I like the idea -- Commissioner Reyes: You want to wait until my age? You don't want to be my age when you make those parks? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But I like the idea of fast -tracking mini parks for our city, yes. Commissioner Reyes: Absolutely. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I like that idea. Commissioner Reyes: Let's fast -track it. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But I want to find that midpoint. That's all I care about. Commissioner Reyes: Okay, okay. That's (INAUDIBLE) -- Vice Chair Russell: All right. We have a motion, and we have a second. We have an amendment. Are we ready to vote? Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yes, sir. Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Commissioner Carollo, my. apologies. Did you accept the amendment? Commissioner Carollo: Yes. Mr. Hannon: Understood. Thank you. City of Miami Page 166 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: All in favor of the item, as amended, say "aye." The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Vice Chair Russell: Any opposed? I call that consensus. You like that? Commissioner Reyes: Absolutely. You know -- Vice Chair Russell: All right. Commissioner Reyes: -- and one thing that is nice, you see, that is why --1 mean, we can disagree and we can get into consensus. That's what we should do, you see. I mean, and nobody's angry with nobody, you see. Commissioner Carollo: Well, might be somebody -- Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Commissioner Carollo: -- I saw somebody, out there yesterday that was pretty ticked off, I don't know. Commissioner Reyes: What, they gave you the evil eyes, you know. Vice Chair Russell: PZ -- is there an appetite to batch --? Commissioner Reyes: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) the evil eyes. Vice Chair Russell: I'm going to move on.

This is -- I mean, we are doing Robert King High. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right. Commissioner Reyes: 1 mean, we are trying to build a facility for girls' volleyball. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right. Commissioner Reyes: There is not a single facility like that in the City of Miami. And there's going to be -- there are going to be trainers and all that. And it is a sport that provides lots of scholarships for girls. And it is very popular. I didn't know, you see. Just like golf, girls' golf is -- I mean, good golfers they get scholarships or whatever. I didn 't know that either. And in order to do that, we have to change -- I mean, give -- have legislation that we don't have to go into a referendum. But we are making it, this legislation is specific to this, you see. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right. So, but what I read about it is -- is this kind of a carve out to our waterfront referendum? Commissioner Reyes: Yeah. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Is it -- this is a carve out to our waterfront referendum. Commissioner Reyes: That's right, that 's right. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. That concerns me. Commissioner Reyes: Oh, well. It concerns you -- Victoria Mendez (City Attorney): Oh, no, it's not. If I may. Mr. Min: Right. Mr. Chairman. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Well, hold on, hold on, hold on. You have not been recognized. It's always through the Chair. So, is it a carve out for our waterfront referendum requirement? City of Miami Page 169 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Mr. Min: Mr. Chairman, in order to -- Ms. Mendez: (INAUDIBLE) -- Mr. Min: -- that's why we 're (INAUDIBLE) -- Ms. Mendez: Go ahead, sir. Mr. Min: -- an amendment. Commissioner Reyes: Let the City Attorney -- hey, quiet. Mr. Min: Mr. Chairman, that's why we're proposing an amendment to clarify that it's not necessarily a charter carve out, but the definition for water body is limited to Miami 21 purposes. It has no effect on the City Charter. So, what we're proposing is instead of the amendment that you have in front of you, to take out that underlining, and instead add to the end of Section 1.2 that the definition is limited to purposes for the Miami 21 Code only. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Commissioner Reyes: That only -- that could only be possible to build something if it is ours. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right. I got it. Commissioner Reyes: If it is the City, okay. Got it? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay, I got it. Is that correct, Ms. Mendez? Ms. Mendez: Yes. We wanted to make sure that nobody thought we were carving anything out of the Charter. It was to just -- Commissioner Reyes: No, we're carving a turkey. Ms. Mendez: -- clam that it has to do with Miami 21 only. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. We are -- we're carving a turkey here. I mean, it's going to be (UNINTELLIGIBLE) when we leave here and Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla buy dinner to all of us. Vice Chair Russell: So -- Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, okay, I got it. Vice Chair Russell: We're satisfied on that one. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. I move it. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yes.

City of Miami Page 170 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Vice Chair Russell: -- on the remaining items, which include electric vehicles, solar equipment, Make a Wish re -zoning, parking standards, fixing the Day Avenue situation, as well as assisted living in D1 (District 1). And 1 believe -- Mr. Min: There is a proposed amendment, from District 4 for PZ.16, which deals with the assisted living facilities. I'd be -- I believe Commissioner Reves would like to add modifications that there's a maximum of two beds per room. Commissioner Reyes: Which one is that? Vice Chair Russell: This is the -- Mr. Min: PZ.16. Vice Chair Russell: -- assisted living, the last item. Commissioner Reyes: Let me see. Ms. Mendez: Yes. Mr. Min: It would include a maximum of two beds per room. Commissioner Reyes: Oh, oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Mr. Min: And it would change the -- Commissioner Reyes: This is a section of my district on 4th Street and 7th Avenue -- 7th, yes -- that it is industrial. It is totally industrial, and it is very ugly, very ill -kept. And we want to -- they want to build assisted living facility for -- and I'm limiting it, I tried to change the zoning for that area and limiting to two persons per room because I don't want them to be building -- say 40 rooms, and then fixing -- you know how it is -- I mean, and trying to squeeze four or five people in one room and all that. We are limiting it. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Does that limit the ability to build micro units or units that may be more feasible in the city that has limited --? Commissioner Reves: No. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: It doesn't? Commissioner Reyes: No, it doesn't Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Commissioner Reyes: That's for sure. Mr. Min: I believe Commissioner Reyes is also suggesting that it be modified to increase the distance separation from 2,500 feet to 3,000. Commissioner Reyes: To 3,000. That means -- okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Commissioner Watson: What's 3,000, the unit itself? Commissioner Reyes: No, no, no, no. City of Miami Page 171 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Mr. Min: It's new legislation. Commissioner Watson: Right, right. Mr. Min: As drafted, it says 2,500. Commissioner Reyes would like (INAUDIBLE) -- Jeremy Calleras-Gauger (Interim Director, Planning): Yeah, 3,000 linear feet -- Mr. Min: -- to 3,000. Mr. Calleras-Gauger: -- separation distance. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. All right. Vice Chair Russell: Any further amendments, discussion, questions, concerns on the remaining agenda? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I love you too.

As a father, as a grandfather, 1 feel extremely proud today. And I'm sure that you, too, as a father and grandfather, have to feel proud that, first of all, you have a son that has worked extremely hard to be where he's at today. He's earned it. He's worked very hard for it. Certainly, had your guidance, your help, your name. But if he hadn't worked it himself, earned it himself, he would not be here today. But more so, I feel proud for our City, for the Suarez family, that your son has taken the initiative of publicly expressing the love, the gratitude to his father publicly in bringing you here today and giving you this key to the City. And for that, Francis, I compliment you. You're a good son. And may your sons follow the same footsteps. Now, the last thing I will say is, I do hear that Jeffrey Watson is looking for a good chief of staff. So, if you've got nothing to do in the next year, you might be able to give him a hand. Mr. Suarez: I don't think it pays enough. Mayor Suarez: Thank you, guys. Commissioner Watson: I don't have much of a choice to but to say that my journey that started long time ago, wide-eyed, bushy -tailed and hollering and screaming and jumping in people's face, began with my big brother, Xavier Suarez. We both was crazy. And fighting Commissioner Carollo made us better, even when we didn't believe that. But 1 think we all have concluded that our fight was on behalf of probably one of the best cities in America. I've always thought that San Francisco was prettier. And now, that's changed. Not only are we one of the best cities in America, one of the prettiest cities in America, it's all been done by a lot of great people. But I wanted to let you all know that my opportunity and chance came from a guy that his brother-in-law said, when I started my professional career, "You know what, man? You crazy like my brother-in-law. Y'all need to get together because this politics thing that I don't understand, y'all can talk all day long, so I need to hook you up with him immediately." And that is how it all began. So, thank you, sir. I appreciate it. And, you know, it's funny -- and I have to tell this story because he always tells this story -- that you never know how life turns for people. And when I went to the -- and he never gives it out easily. He never gives it out easily, right? T went to Washington, and one day T had to meet with the mayors because the mayors were part of my responsibilities -- cities -- state and local governments. And they were all in the room, Boston, everybody, Chicago, the whole thing. And everybody was hollering and screaming. And Henry Cisneros was getting ready to come in the room. And in my way, which is always not the best. I said, "Hey, all y'all be quiet. The secretary is getting ready to come in." And a voice in the back, hollered out and said, "Hey, he used to work for me. He used to work for me." I have to tell that because he always tells that story. I am proud of your service, proud of the people you've inspired, proud of the fights you've taken on and your efforts to make this city a great city. So, thank you very much. Mr. Suarez: Thank you, Jeff. Applause. Commissioner Reyes: Well, I wasn't going to say anything, but I have to tell you, thank you. Thank you for the service that you have -- oh, and this man is -- and have a life of service. You see, he could have been one of the most, I will say, the richest person in Dade County having a Harvard -- a law degree from Harvard, being smart and hardworking, and he would've been the most successful attorney. But he decided to serve. And we benefit, all, the City of Miami and Miami -Dade County, we all benefit for your dedication and your service. Thank you very much, sir. Thank you. City of Miami Page 180 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 NA.2 8259 City Commission Applause. Mr. Suarez: Likewise. (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Commissioner Reyes: Oh, yes. That's another thing that is -- bring us together. You see, we lost about the same number of races. You see, I lost -- Mr. Suarez: Before getting elected. Commissioner Reyes: Before getting elected, you see, but we are perseverant. Mr. Suarez: My fourth. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. We are resilient. Mr. Suarez: We are definitely resilient. Mayor Suarez: Thank you, guys. And I want to thank Shaky's family for being here, and I want to thank all of you who came and waited so patiently for this. And only Shaky could've made this happen for me, as well, and for my family, so thank you for that. God bless you, guys. Applause. DISCUSSION ITEM UPDATE BY BILL GALVANO REGARDING CITY OF MIAMI'S REDISTRICTING PROCESS. RESULT: DISCUSSED Vice Chair Russell: You are very much recognized. I apologise to keep you waiting. Bill Galvano: Good morning. Thank you. Appreciate having a couple of moments just to again say hello. I've had the pleasure of meeting with each of you individually. And congratulations, Commissioner Watson. It's nice to have met you yesterday. I, again, appreciate the opportunity to work with the City of Miami on your redistricting. I can tell you that the City Manager and your staff has been very helpful and forthcoming in terms of what we need which will continue to grow as we go into the future. As you all recall when we had our meetings, one of the big data dumps, so to speak, or data points was the election that was pending. Now, we are now about two weeks past that election. We are in the process of gathering the information, registration, turnout, vote by ethnicity to start to build a picture. And we're going all the way back to 2012. We expect to have that data compiled in a informative matter - - manner probably by beginning of next year. In addition to that, as you recall, the U.S. (United States) Census is supposed to release its numbers on April 1. That's a very important date for us that is necessary in order to finalize your commission districts. We believe because of some internal discussions that it may be past that date due to COVID-19 issues and other issues. And we have to watch that because that's very important. Because you -- if you're going to get a district drawn in time for an election, you still have to back up from that election to meet the deadlines and the requirements of the Supervisor of Elections. And in 2013, it originally was, I City of Miami Page 181 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 believe May, and the supervisor moved it hack into June. But it's a tight area. So, I just put that on your radar screen, hut we will start getting some releases of data prior to the actual release on April 1. So, we'll continue to work in that regard, steadily. You're going to start to see a lot more of me as time goes on, maybe that's a good thing, maybe it's not. You did say unfortunately when you noticed me, but I think that was Freudian. But in any event, it's -- things are underway. And again, I appreciate the opportunity to work with all of you, and I'm interested to see how your population numbers change. And I would suspect that you will have a significant bump, and there should be some deviations significant enough to require some modifications which you all will ultimately make that decision, but we'll provide you all the tools necessary to do so. And so, with that, that's just a hello and a brief update, and you'll see me again very soon. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you, President Galvano. Discussion. Commissioner Reyes: Thank you. Commissioner Carollo: Thank you. [Later...] Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, 1 have a question of our Senate President. Based on what you've seen so far, (UNINTELLIGIBLE), Mr. Chair, will Miami have 500,000 plus people in the new census? Mr. Galvano: I would suspect so, yes. Again, we don 't have those exact numbers, but just, you know, working with the existing data and what we see, I think you're -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That's a big deal -- Mr. Galvano: -- going to be a little bigger than the Senate district -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah. Mr. Galvano: -- as the City. Vice Chair Russell: If I recall, that makes us -- that gives us status as a megaci Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That's a big deal. Vice Chair Russell: -- is what I believe it's referred to. And that has certain different abilities for us to have direct contact with the Federal Government, rather than through our county. Commissioner Carollo: Absolutely. Vice Chair Russell: As we study how we redistrict, hitting that number means something for our City. And I'd like to get OW briefing -- Mr. Galvano: Yeah. Vice Chair Russell: -- on what that means from a state (INAUDIBLE). Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Let me tell you why that's important. Vice Chair Russell: Yeah. City of Miami Page 182 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That's probably the most important thing at the end of the day, right? Vice Chair Russell: And -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I mean, we -- Vice Chair Russell: -- again I -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: You're representing too many people and we're going to fix all that. That's normal, that's the way it works, right? Mr. Galvano: Mr. Chair, ifl may -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But the half a million people is a big deal for us because we can bypass. Commissioner Reyes: Absolutely. Mr. Galvano: For example -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: We can bypass -- right? -- we can bypass -- Mr. Galvano: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- any County Mayor -- Commissioner Reyes: The County and all of that. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right? (UNINTELLIGIBLE) dollars for us. Vice Chair Russell: You 're recognized. Mr. Galvano: For example -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I'm sorry. Mr. Galvano: when the Federal Government put the CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act) Act into the State of Florida, those funds, we in State Government managed most of those dollars. However, if you were a county or a city with a population with 500,000 or greater, you passed the State -- Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Mr. Galvano: -- and it went straight through. That's one example of how the category -- it's categorized at the federal level and then supported at the state level. So, that is very significant. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And as Senate President, tell me how many billions of dollars you manage. Mr. Galvano: Well, it's a $93 billion budget. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: No, no, for the CARES dollars. City of Miami Page 183 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Mr. Galvano: It was $12 billion that came through. Vice Chair Russell: Yeah. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: $12 billion. Mr. Galvano: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: The City of Miami got -- yesterday got 8.5 million. Beautifid. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: 8.5 million yesterday -- right? -- that we allocated, right? They were -- Mr. Galvano: But -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- you know, the charity case. Mr. Galvano: Yes. Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Mr. Galvano: What ultimately went through into your local communities was around 4.7. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Right. And that 4.7, that -- Mr. Galvano: Yeah. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- that was (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Mr. Galvano: And then you had your direct FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) (UNINTELLIGIBLE) -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But had we had the 500,000 people? Mr. Galvano: Then you would've been -- no question, it would have been -- there was 11 counties and one city, I believe, that received (INAUDIBLE). Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, I don't know. Mr. President, maybe you have to go and count every single voter that we have, every single resident that we have here. But I want 501,000 -- right? -- 500,000 plus one. So, we -- Mr. Galvano: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- make sure that we do the right count. Commissioner Reyes: That was why we placed so much emphasis on people filling the census. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That's why we're doing it, of course. Commissioner Reyes: And I think that if we have to go back and knock on their doors because they didn't do it, we should. But I want to ask you some questions. Do you have any numbers that you can share? Not now, later on with my office. City of Miami Page 184 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Mr. Galvano: Yes. 1 will. I don't have them in front of me right now. Commissioner Reyes: Okay, not now. I don 't want to -- but I would like to be -- keep, I mean, abreast of everything that (INAUDIBLE). Mr. Galvano: And I committed to each of you that -- Commissioner Reyes: Okay, sir. Mr. Galvano: -- we will keep you -- Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Mr. Galvano: -- in the loop. Commissioner Reyes: Thank you very much. Vice Chair Russell: Question. If for whatever reason our numbers come out below that, is there a process through which the City can challenge the census results? Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Commissioner Carollo: Absolutely. Commissioner Reyes: Yes, definitely. Mr. Galvano: Yes, but that's -- as I understand it, there is. And if we can -- you see, when we do this process and we're talking unrelated to -- but government's my interest. So, we're looking at different types of data sources. So, if we're able to like present a case, so to speak, of what we're saying, this is just not consistent with what we're seeing here, or this type of registration, yes. I don't know exactly what that procedure is, but it seems to me that there should be some ability for a city, especially one approaching that very important threshold, to be able to make a case for itself if it believes that it should -- Vice Chair Russell: I'd be happy to expand the scope of what you 're doing to make sure that step one, we're establishing we get good census numbers. Step two, we make sure the City's divided fairly and that good representation happens. But that first part is so important to us, and your expertise may help us there. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah. And the problem is that President Galvano may be stuck in Miami for a little while. I'm sure Julie will love that, right, because -- Mr. Galvano: Maybe I'll move and become a resident. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- you went to the University of Miami Law School - - right? -- and Julie loves Miami. Sarasota is somewhat boring, right? Bradenton is - - everything closes at 8:30 at night or whatever. So, I think his expertise, his knowledge, his relationships are going to be very, very important for our city. Because when you look at the big picture we were talking about earlier, the big picture is how does Miami get to 500K? And if we get to 500K voters -- residents, then we have access to a whole bunch of federal dollars that we never had access to before. Mr. Galvano: And there are still (INAUDIBLE) -- City of Miami Page 185 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And that's important. Forget the fact that you represent too many people, 1 represented too little people. That's a different conversation. That's part of your scope of your work. But beyond that, how do you figure out a way for us to get the half -a -million people so that we can access these dollars, these federal dollars directly, and not have to rely on County leaders and others to try to tell us what we're entitled to. Mr. Galvano: Well, it's either you have them, or you don't. What you 're asking is how to make sure that there are no irregularities or shortcomings that don't allow the actual numbers to be reflected. (INAUDIBLE). Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Because what happens -- right? -- what happens is because the nature of Miami, people underreport -- right? -- because they're afraid. So, somebody knocks on the door, and for whatever reason, you know, it's based on population. It's not based on nationality or naturalization, right? So, people -- because we have people that are illegal immigrants here -- right? -- that they, in essence, don't report because they're afraid. So, what's the variance -- Vice Chair Russell: Or COVID, you know. It affected the census. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Or people don 't open the door, right? I mean, people don't open the door because they're afraid. Mr. Galvano: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, at the end of the day, what tools are available to us to allow to get to 500K, because I think that's what clearly everybody -- Vice Chair Russell: Right. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- intuitively, we know that we have more than half -a -million people. Vice Chair Russell: Well -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: We know -- Vice Chair Russell: And before you answer, please, because Atlanta, in the last official census ten years ago, was under 500K -- Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Vice Chair Russell: -- just like us. They found a way to adjust throughout the decade to when this came up during CARES Act, they were able to say, we've got 505, or whatever it is that they met the threshold. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: 505, yeah. Vice Chair Russell: And that meant $80 million for us that we didn't see. So whatever homework they did, we didn't do. And if you're working with us on our census numbers, I would love to make sure that your scope includes that analysis, so that we know what tools are available to us and our management can take action in their (INAUDIBLE). Mr. Galvano: Commissioner Russell, I will look at that. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you very much. Are there other questions for President City of Miami Page 186 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 NA.3 8251 Office of the City Clerk Galvano? Mr. Galvano: Thank you. Vice Chair Russell: Thank you. Mr. Galvano: You're welcome. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Thank you, President. Bye, Julie.

Hannon (City Clerk): And Commissioner, just so you're aware, Commissioner Hardemon did make two appointments -- Commissioner Watson: Okay. Mr. Hannon: -- to this task force, so they continue to serve, so we'll have a chance to sit. Commissioner Watson: Okay. Mr. Hannon: Oh, that's right. We can at least let you know the two members that he had appointed -- Commissioner Watson: Right. Mr. Hannon: -- so that we can share that because the task force was reconstituted. You'll just -- if you are okay with those two members, which we will present to you after, you know, this meeting you could either appoint them or we can come up with some other potential appointees. Commissioner Watson: Okay. Vice Chair Russell: And Commissioner, this is Miami 21. Our Zoning Code is definitely full of some issues that need updating. Commissioner Watson: Yes. Vice Chair Russell: And so, we've created a taskforce to address those issues and City of Miami Page 188 Printed on 10/27/2023 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 19, 2020 NA.4 8253 Office of the City Clerk give us advice, which will go to Planning Zoning Appeals Board and eventually to us for final changes and ratifications to the Code. So, each of us has appointed people that we believe can help us point out those issues. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Has the Mayor -- Mr. Chair, has the Mayor made appoinbnents? Ms. Ewan: No, Commissioner, the Mayor has not, or reappointed the members to the task force. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But did he make previous --? I'm sorry, Mr. Chair. Did he make previous appointments? Ms. Ewan: That is correct, Commissioner. He had previous appointees on the board. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, it's kind of like a procedural thing really at the end of the day, right? So, it's kind of like people already made appointments. It 's just a question of reappointing -- right? -- that I did. Is the Mayor willing to make those same appointments? And I'm sure -- beyond your two appointments, obviously, Commissioner, you're new -- can we begin to kind of constitute a new taskforce so we can move forward? Ms. Ewan: Commissioner; what we can do is we can continue the meeting and 1 can check with the Mayor's office and get back to you during the board appointments if the Mayor would like to proceed with his appointments today. Barnaby Min (Deputy City Attorney): The task force can meet without a full body being appointed as long as there's a quorum. So, it can meet now that there's a quorum. Art Noriega (City Manager): Yeah. Now we have quorum. Vice Chair Russell: If they all show up. Mr. Noriega: If they all show up. Vice Chair Russell: Yeah. Thank you very much.
