City of Miami Page 1 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 PR - PRESENTATIONS AND PROCLAMATIONS PR.1 11965 PROTOCOL ITEM Honoree Presenter Protocol Item Miguel Paredes Mayor Suarez Certificate of Merit City of Miami Fire Rescue Division of Emergency Management Mayor Suarez Certificate of Merit Fernando Casamayor Mayor Suarez Certificate of Merit RESULT: PRESENTED 1) Mayor Suarez and Commissioners presented a Certificate of Merit to recognize Mr. Miguel Paredes. Mr. Paredes is a City of Miami Fire Fighter who has been with the City of Miami Fire Department since December of 1992. Fire Fighter Paredes earned the respect and appreciation of his peers and will forever be regarded as a highly skilled professional, having offered his expertise in service of the City of Miami, including providing instruction for over 29 years and to over 7,500 residents, customers, and City of Miami employees in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) certification, as well as the Emergency Bleeding Control training. Elected Officials paused in their deliberations to pay special tribute to Fire Fighter Miguel Paredes in his retirement after over 29 years of service. 2) Mayor Suarez and Commissioners presented a Certificate of Merit to recognize the service and action of the City of Miami Emergency Management team. The Division of Emergency Management faced great challenges in managing the COVID-19 pandemic in our community. The Finance Section of the Division of Emergency Management not only rose to the occasion but excelled in the process. The City of Miami has become the Gold Standard of how submissions for Public Assistance Grant cost recovery should be conducted. FEMA is now using our City's submissions as a template to instruct other jurisdictions, and States, nationwide on how proper submissions for reimbursement should appear. To date, the City has submitted financial I10 projects for review related to COVID. In comparison, this is 10 times what the cities of New York and Los Angeles submitted. The result is much higher reimbursements but 10 times the work. To date, the City has submitted 110 projects to FEMA totaling $49,798,471.55. The most admirable statistic is that the City did not hire a vendor to accomplish this. This was completely done utilizing our civilians, non -sworn personnel in Emergency Management and reservist program, mostly firefighters trained to complete an additional task outside of their usual scope of work. Elected Officials paused in their deliberations to recognize and salute the City of Miami Emergency Management team and its Fire Fighters for their invaluable service and commitment to elevate the quality, of life in the City of Miami. City of Miami Page 2 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 ORDER OF THE DAY 3) Mayor Suarez and Commissioners presented a Certificate of Merit to Mr. Fernando Casamayor in recognition of his dedication and excellent service to the City of Miami. Mr. Casamayor was the Assistant City Manager and Chief Financial officer for the City of Miami for more than eight (8) years. Prior to joining the City of Miami, he was employed by Miami -Dade County Tax Collector's Office for more than 9 years. Mr. Casamayor is a true professional who was well -regarded and respected by his peers and leaders. Elected Officials paused in their deliberations to recognize and wish Mr. Casamayor farewell in his new endeavors and thanked him for his service and professionalism in elevating the quality of service in the City of Miami.

Thank von. Chair King: Thank you, Madam City Attorney. Mr. Manager, are there any items that the Administration would like to continue, defer, or withdraw or indefinitely defer? Arthur Noriega (City Manager): Good morning, Madam Chairwoman, Commissioners, Madam City Attorney, and Mr. City Clerk. At this time, the Administration would like to defer and/or withdraw the following items. RE.1, to be indefinitely deferred; RE.2, to be withdrawn; FR.2, to be indefinitely deferred; and DI.1, to also be indefinitely deferred. The Chair of the Code Enforcement Task Force is still unavailable. And that concludes the items. I'll say it one more time. RE.1, to be indefinitely deferred. Commissioner Reyes: RE.2. Mr. Noriega: RE.2, to be withdrawn. FR.2, to be indefinitely deferred. And DI.1, to be indefinitely deferred. Chair King: Good morning. Do you need us to repeat that for you? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I heard part of it. I didn't like the first part that I heard so -- Chair King: I know you need to understand the construct. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Can we do it again? Chair King: Did you hear me? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Good morning. Chair King: I said, I know you need to understand the construct. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: The construct of the debate, yes, or the context. Chair King: Yes. Mr. Manager, can you go through it one more time, please? City of Miami Page 4 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Mr. Noriega: RE.1, to be indefinitely deferred. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Mr. Noriega: RE.2, to be withdrawn. FR.2, to be indefinitely deferred. And DI.1, to be indefinitely deferred. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And Madam Chair, if I may, what's FR.2? Can you be more specific? Mr. Noriega: It was an item sponsored by Commissioner Carollo with regards to some regulations as it relates to the waterfront guidelines -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Mr. Noriega: -- design. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And that's withdrawn or is that deferred? Mr. Noriega: We're indefinitely -- he's requested that it be indefinitely deferred. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Okay, ma'am. Thank you. Chair King: Mr. Manager -- Mr. Noriega: Yes. Chair King: -- I would like to co-sponsor CA.8 and RE.5. Commissioner Russell: Madam Chair? Chair King: Yes. Commissioner Russell: Thank you. Just a question for the Manager. The RE.1 indefinite deferral, will that slow down any of our project -- progress on the Marine Stadium? Mr. Noriega: No. The reason for the deferral is there were some -- the request made by the Commission to come back with some financial analysis, it's not actually finished yet, so before we bring this up for approval, we want to make sure that that analysis is presented to the Commission. It shouldn't be a whole lot longer before that's ready, so we don't anticipate too significant a delay. Commissioner Reyes: Yeah, that's a good question, I was thinking about that. I would also like, Madam Chair -- Chair King: Please. Commissioner Reyes: -- please, through the Chair, I also would like to co-sponsor RE.5. Remember, I was the one that presented the resolution to re-establish it, so I'm going to support it all the way. Chair King: Did you get that, Todd? Commissioner Reyes -- Commissioner Reyes: Todd, you have that? Chair King: -- wants to co-sponsor RE.5 as well. City of Miami Page 5 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Commissioner Reyes: Are you having a hard time hearing me? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And put me down for that too, Madam Chair, also. Commissioner Reyes: Did you bring your hearing aids? (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Commissioner Reyes: Okay, 1 would like to co-sponsor. (UNINTELLIGIBLE) she got it. Chair King: And Commissioner Alex Diaz de la Portilla would also like to co- sponsor. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Also. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Chair King: Anything else? Mr. City Clerk, do you have any announcements to make? Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): No, ma'am. Is there a motion for the order of the day? Chair King: May 1 have a motion? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So moved. So moved. Chair King: Second. All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. [Later...] Chair King: Vice Chair, welcome. How are you? Vice Chair Carollo: Good. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Good morning. Chair King: Good to see you. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Good morning, Commissioner. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you. Good morning. I'm just wondering, why were we listening to an item -- Chair King: That's not on the agenda. Vice Chair Carollo: -- that's been indefinite --? Chair King: Well, as advised by the City Clerk, they could speak on the item today, but then they won't be able to speak on the item when it comes back. Vice Chair Carollo: Well, if it comes back when it's indefinite, that means unless the person that has put it on the agenda wants it back, it's the only way that it'll come City of Miami Page 6 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 hack. But when it's indefinite deferred, basically we're taking it out of the agenda for Chair King: At least six months. Vice Chair Carollo: Right. Chair King: It's going to be out at least six months, yes. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But we can -- but we can bring it back whenever the Commissioner wants. Chair King: Whenever you want. Within the six months. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, but let me -- Chair King: But not -- it doesn't have to come back before six months. Vice Chair Carollo: Let me tell you why this has been indefinitely deferred. I heard that there's a guy named Billy -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Cohen. Vice Chair Carollo: Cohen? Yes, Cohen, that's just a name -- that is working on a new mangrove. It's a medical marijuana mangrove. So, I'm waiting for him to get that done to see if that's what we want to plant out there since we've approved medical marijuana in Miami. No, no, I'm teasing, guys. I'm teasing. I'm teasing. The reason that I'm deferring this is not because I've got a dozen people to come in. I could give you all kinds of reports from scientists, from universities, from all over the world. It's basically, and they have their own reports, basically what my concern was, which is the Miami River, which we don't even know if mangrove can end up growing there. My concerns have been taken care of where we're going to have living seawalls in front of our parks. And living seawalls provide many of the things that we heard up here, but it's not going to block views. Plus, it's a small little area, even of mangroves. In the overall picture, you need a lot more for it to make any significant difference. So, having said that, I just wonder where a lot of the people here were when so many things were being approved in Miami without putting mangroves in front of them. And it's only when it comes to our parks that the people that can't afford to buy a fancy, expensive condominium by the bay, whether they're from Allapattah, Overtown, Little Haiti, Liberty City, Little Havana. And the only places they could get to see the bay in Miami, since they can't afford to buy a condo in those buildings, is our parks. Why were parks the only places that we wanted to block the view, and why are our parks the only place that we're going to save the planet? And by the way, the lady that was putting her hand up, the Florida, and when you said Miami, it's really Florida around. It's not the third largest in coral reefs. It's the fifth largest. So, it's indefinite defer, and I don't intend to bring it back because my concerns have been taken care of in reference to the new seawall at Jose Marti Park and the Miami River. Chair King: Okay. City of Miami Page 7 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR ALL ITEM(S) SP.1 12059 Office of the City Clerk DISCUSSION ITEM PUBLIC COMMENTS SUBMITTED ONLINE BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC FOR THE MAY 31, 2022 SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION MEETING. RESULT: PRESENTED Chair King: At this time, we will take all public comments for items related to this agenda, you may stand up. Good morning, sir. Go ahead. Brett Bibeau: Good morning, Honorable City Commission. Brett Bibeau, managing director of the Miami River Commission, with offices located at 1407 Northwest 7th Street. Pardon me. Happy to provide the Miami River Commission's advisory recommendation regarding RE.6. During the Miami River Commission's January 3rd, 2022 public meeting, Iris Escarra from Greenberg Traurig, Jim McDonnell from Cube 3, Barry Miller of Savino Miller Design, Alex Mantecon and Guillermo Alvarez from MV Real Estate presented plans, a letter of intent, and a covenant stating they will comply with the public riverwalk code requirements contained within Miami 21 Waterfront Standards Section 3.11, Appendix B, and the Baywalk Rivenvalk Design Standards and Guidelines. And the comp plan required working river disclosure. The presenter stated the project will activate the public riverwalk, which will connect in all directions as required by code. The project features the Dream luxury hotel, two restaurants, Garcia's Seafood Fish Market, an event space, nightclub, and managed dockage with a dockmaster. Please see the attached presented letter of intent and voluntary restrictive covenant for more details. In addition, the project will make enhancements to the connecting existing public riverwalk beneath Brickell Bridge, such as improved lighting. The public riverwalk will have four entry points for bicycles and pedestrians. The Miami River Commission did not consider and is not providing an advisory recommendation related to the City's financial considerations regarding this item. The Miami River Commission unanimously recommended approval of the presented Riverside Wharf I appreciate your time and support for the Miami River District. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Ellery Lennon: Hi, Commissioners. My name is Ellery Lennon. My address is 7962 Camino Circle, Miami, 33143. I'm here to tell you why you should vote no on Ordinance 11938, which is FR.2 today, and instead support the planting and protection of mangroves in Miami. Chair King: Well, that is not before us today. Mr. City Clerk? Mr. Hannon: No, ma'am, but if the speaker is maybe not able to make it at a future meeting, this would be an opportunity for them -- Chair King: Okay. Mr. Hannon: -- to provide public comment. Ms. Lennon: Right. City of Miami Page 8 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Chair King: Okay. Ms. Lennon: Thank you. I'm a PhD candidate in the University of Miami's Biology Department, and I research mangrove fish assemblages. Mangroves provide many valuable ecosystem functions and services that benefit us beyond storm surge protection. Mangroves absorb and dissipate wind and wave energy, which protects coastal lands and properties from storms. Their roots also stabilize sediment, preventing shoreline erosion. Mangroves absorb nutrients and pollutants. They also encourage the sediments to settle out of the water column, effectively cleaning and purifying coastal waters, and then they send that clear low nutrient water out to the reefs. Our coral reefs need mangroves to filter the water for them. Additionally, through photosynthesis, mangroves sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide as blue carbon. Mangroves also generate productivity and diversity which provides us with raw materials and food. By providing habitat, food, refuge from predators, and nursery grounds for fish, mangroves support high fish diversity and abundances. Mangroves also maintain fisheries which is a billion dollar industry in Florida. Florida is the fishing capital of the world. Recreational saltwater fishing brings in $9.2 billion per year and supports over 88,000 jobs. Florida's commercial fishing generates 3.2 billion in income and supports over 76,000 jobs per FWC (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission). With -- Chair King: Thank you. Thank you. Good morning. Samantha Morejon: Sorry. Chair King: You can bend it. Ms. Morejon: Oh, sorry, pardon my height. Good morning, everyone. My name is Samantha Morejon. I reside at 12010 Southwest 105th Terrace, and I am also here to speak on FR.2. Chair King: Hold on one second. Hold on one second. Todd, I want to get some clarity because there was an organization that was here for a Commission meeting and their item was also deferred and we told them that they could speak at the meeting but then they wouldn't get to speak when it appeared on the agenda again. Is that true? Mr. Hannon: Yes, ma'am. Chair King: Okay, so I want to make it clear that if you speak now you won 't be able to speak when it comes back before this Commission to give you the choice of whether you'd like to continue to speak now or if you'd like to hold it and come back when the item is properly before us. Ms. Morejon: I would like to continue to speak if that's alright. Chair King: Go right ahead. Ms. Morejon: Thank you. I urge you not to pass this ordinance to establish certain requirements for City park and recreation waterfront improvements. To begin with, there are a multitude of economic, social, and environmental benefits provided by mangroves, including carbon sequestration. The proposed ordinance directly conflicts with the City of Miami's current greenhouse gas reduction plan, which aims to be carbon neutral by 2050. It would then propel Miami backwards on its goal. Mangroves support our fisheries, our fishing economy, and protect our vulnerable city from the impacts of storms and hurricanes. The alternative protection for our coastlines is extremely impalatable, a 30-foot high seawall that the Army Corps City of Miami Page 9 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 recently proposed for dealing with storm surge. In reference to the issue of mangroves blocking one's view of the watershed, the City can get mangrove trimming permits to preserve viewing corridors, per the 1996 Mangrove Trimming and Preservation Act, which can allow for mangrove trimming alterations such that the health of the tree and habitat can be preserved while providing people the view of the adjacent waterway. Additionally, we should look towards our coastal engineers and consultants for their recommendations on the best shoreline protection strategies. Please support the community efforts that have been underway for decades to restore these valuable trees that bring so many benefits to our community. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Anyone else here for public comment? Go ahead. Good morning. Erica Cartaya: Hi, good morning. 1 just want to be clear. If1 speak today, I won't be able to speak then the next time all of the Commissioners are here. Is that correct? Chair King: If it's on FR.2. Ms. Cartava: FR.2. Chair King.: Yes. Ms. Cartaya: Yes. Okay. I'll just speak today. It's fine. 1 'm already here so. Chair King: Okay. Ms. Cartaya: Although I will be at the next one. Alright, so good morning, everyone. My name is Erica Jasmine Cartaya. I reside at 310 Northeast 78th Street, Miami, Florida, 33138. I am a conservation sciences student who was born and raised in Miami, and I'm speaking on my own behalf Thank you for having me today. This for me is not a debate. It's a moment to educate those who don't understand the important benefits of having mangrove trees along the coast of Florida. The benefits include absorbing storm surge impacts during tropical storms and hurricanes, reducing the inevitable impacts of sea level rise, maintains biodiversity by providing a suitable habitat for several different species, helps maintain Florida's coastline by preventing erosion, and the list goes on. I encourage you to do your own research about these benefits and of sea level rise projections for Miami. Voting for this ban would mean regressing what we collectively already know while sacrificing all the ecosystem services the mangrove trees provide simply for a better view of the water. That is not a wise trade-off I vote no against this absurd bill to ban growing mangrove trees in Miami, and you should too. We need mangrove trees now more than ever. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Laura Munoz: Good morning. Thank you, everyone, so much. I'm also here to speak on the mangrove ordinance. I will not be able -- likely to be here as I'll be traveling. My name is Laura Munoz and to me this is something that I really feel inside of my soul. I've spent so much time in front of mangroves looking at all the little baby animals, you know, the mothers, the little chickens, the little birds, not chickens, birds, and they're breeding and I remember looking at the mother birds and the baby birds and thinking about this earth, this mother of ours. We say we respect mothers, but this mother, this earth that sustains us, that gives us life every day, this really to me, they're lungs. These mangroves are lungs that are allowing us to exist in this city. And I know that a big question is housing and I am everyday listening to communities and to them talking about housing and that they don't have places to live but they're also asking for green spaces because if we have houses but they're flooding but we have City of Miami Page 10 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 houses and there's no water then it really doesn't matter if we're full of housing because there's going to be no earth and 1 really, really front the bottom of my heart ask each of you Commissioners, ask our mayor and the folks, Reyes, Carollo, everyone, please work with us. Miami can be a green city, like we can be a green city that doesn 't have to just be great, but we can bring forth so much that truly honors our nature, our earth, and ourselves. We don't have to make foul choices between housing and greenery, between mangroves and people. That is not something that we have to do, and I pray we can do that. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Albert Gomez: Before 1 speak, I have a question to the ruling that was just brought up about not being able to speak on another ordinance. If the ordinance is changed in any way, am I able to speak on the ordinance once that ordinance is changed? Chair King: Mr. City Clerk? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Of course. Mr. Hannon: I believe the statute gives you one opportunity to speak. I don 't think the statute -- I think it's silent when it comes to if the legislation changes. I believe it's a one-shot deal. Mr. Gomez: A one-shot deal, as in, so if the ordinance changes, I can 't speak again. I can, C-A-N, can speak again. Mr. Hannon: No, I would say that you get an opportunity to speak once. Mr. Gomez: One time. Even if the ordinance -- Mr. Hannon: Now, when it comes back on second reading, you'll get an opportunity to speak on it then. So, I would probably look at it that way. If it changes in between first and second reading, you do have an opportunity to speak on the item when it comes back for second reading. Mr. Gomez: Okay. Okay. And one last question before I speak. Is there -- just because I don't know -- is there an opportunity for the Commissioners to request for a withdrawal of an ordinance or does it have to come from the sponsor? Mr. Hannon: No, it's the will of the body. Mr. Gomez: The will of the body. Okay, so the will of the body could request for a withdrawal of this ordinance at any time. Mr. Hannon: Yes, sir. Mr. Gomez: Okay, just verifying. Okay, my name is Albert Gomez. I reside at 3566 Vista Court. Today I am representing myself I am in real estate and concrete manufacturing. I do concrete technology manufacturing. I'm working on several research projects with FIU (Florida International University) on devising new concrete technologies that recruit biology, that prevent scalding and fluoride penetration that extend the life of concrete. We're also using different 3D printing technologies to enable molds for mangrove planters integrated into in an interlocking fashion into greenways and the seawalls so that we can have hybridized seawalls that enable mangroves to grow with them. I have Cuban parents that aren't necessarily the most green, folks. My reality, not a characterization, it's my reality. And the fact of the matter is my mom has overcut mangroves before, and I've had to plant mangroves City of Miami Page 11 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 on her behalf. So, effectively, I know the story of (FOREIGN LANGUAGE). It's taking away my view. 1 get it. But the reality is the Florida Bar, the state, the federal government have all determined that the value that the mangroves bring versus a seawall, far, or any reason to remove them, far exceeds that justification. So, I just want to stick to that point and say that the economy means something to zne, it means something to be able to sell more concrete, but there is not a value that can justify this. I hope you guys have the will to request for a withdrawal. This really doesn 't work. Commissioner Reyes: May I ask you a question? Mr. Gomez: Sure. Commissioner Reyes: You made a statement that you have Cuban parents, that they are not green. Mr. Gomez: Yeah, they -- Commissioner Reyes: I mean, you making hasty generalizations that Cubans, we don 't care -- Mr. Gomez: You know, it's my reality. Commissioner Reyes: -- about environment. Mr. Gomez: No, it's znv reality. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Mr. Gomez: It's my reality. I live it every day. Commissioner Reyes: Well, that's your reality, but it doesn't have to be -- I mean, when you say Cuban parents, it means (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Mr. Gomez: Well -- Commissioner Reyes: You are painting everybody with the same brush. Mr. Gomez.: They view -- Commissioner Reyes: No, I just wanted to know if you thought about that, you see. Mr. Gomez: No, I wanted to give you the argument. They use the argument of that (FOREIGN LANGUAGE), we are here, we've been through so much, and now they're going to take away our view after that. Commissioner Reyes: Sir -- Mr. Gomez: They've actually used their Cuban experience as a reason. Chair King: Okay, okay. Commissioner Reyes: Sir, that argument is used by many people that are not Cuban. Mr. Gomez: I mean, prove me wrong, Manolo. Chair King: Commissioner. City of Miami Page 12 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Commissioner Reyes: Thank you. Mr. Gomez: Prove me wrong, Manolo. Prove me wrong. Chair King: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Commissioner. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: (FOREIGN LANGUAGE), yeah. Chair King: Anyone else for public comment? Please. Good morning. Rachel Silverstein: Yes. Good morning. Thank you for the opportunity to speak. I'm Rachel Silverstein. I'm the executive director and waterkeeper of local non-profit Miami Waterkeeper. I wholeheartedly agree with everyone's comments about the benefits of mangroves to this community. I won 't repeat them here, but I do want to bring up something for the Commission to consider as part of this ordinance should it come back, and that is some of the legal hurdles that this presents for the City, especially in terms of waterfront development. So, there are several laws on the books that protect mangroves, but also that require alternatives and especially environmental alternatives to be considered when you're getting a permit for waterfront development. And those include being able to consider green alternatives like mangroves. So, if those are not an option, it's going to really tie the City's hands when trying to get permits for waterfront development, and that's a big issue for the City. Another issue is if the City ever has to do mitigation, for example, for mangroves and you need to replant mangroves, you 're going to have very limited opportunities to do so because parks are one of the last places that we have to actually plant mangroves. So, I really want to urge the Commission to consider all of the legal ramifications and all of the laws in place to both protect and promote mangroves and how it might affect City's waterfront development, of course, in addition to all the benefits that mangroves provide for the community that have already been mentioned. So, thank you for your consideration, and I appreciate this has been deferred. And we've already sent, you know, letters from FIU, UM (University of Miami) has sent letters, Miami Waterkeeper, and a lot of other organizations have sent letters. There 's been scientific letters, there's been lots of information provided to you already, so please let us know if you have any questions about that. We're happy to discuss or provide any additional information needed. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Carolina Florez: Hi, good morning. My name is Carolina. I'm representing myself and I reside on 625 Southwest 9th Street, Miami, Florida, 33130. Also talking about FR.2 and I do urge the Commission to have the will to hold. That was a great question by the last gentleman about regarding whether the sponsor had to be the person to retract the bill. I think it would be best for this not to be deferred but actually to be withheld. And I'd like to bring up a different point. I work in tourism and hospitality and tourism and hospitality is a really big engine of our economy, especially in Miami -Dade. About 60 percent of our revenue is generated directly or indirectly through hospitality and tourism. And the reason that people come here, the reason that they love coming to Miami so much, not only do we have the third largest coral reef system in the United -- I mean, in the world here in Florida, but our nature and our water and the wildlife that we have is very important and they love to see it. You don't understand how excited tourists get when they see a dolphin and a manatee and a stingray. It's really something that they very much enjoy and they come here and they spend their money, go on sailboat tours. And if we don 't have that nature and we don't have that marine life, we won't exactly be able to have tourists come here. So, where will a majority of our people in our economy be able to work? So, this is very important, not just for the fishing industry, not just, for the environment, those are all City of Miami Page 13 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 equally important, but also as well as tourism and hospitality. I feel like that might be a little bit overlooked. So, 1 do want you to keep that in mind because this is a big -- it generates a lot of revenue and we need mangroves in order to protect our marine life for these fish to nest and nurse and for our soil to not be eroded. So, thank you Commission. I hope you guys make the right choice. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Dave Doebler: Hi, good morning, everybody. My name's Dave Doebler. I am with the Biscayne Bay Marine Health Coalition. 1 live at 800 West Avenue in Miami Beach. I'm not a resident of the City of Miami, but 1 do a lot of work here doing cleanups of trash and litter from the shorelines. Last Wednesday, we held the Biscayne Bay Marine Health Summit. This was our third one. The City of Miami was a very generous sponsor and supporter of our event, so thank you very much for helping us put on such an event where we discussed the still critically dire situation within Biscayne Bay, mainly caused due to nutrient load and pollution coming from storm drain systems, from septic tanks, and just all the trash that's coming from people littering and the islands. At the end of the event, we wanted to highlight some success stories and wins, and we saw a presentation of the new living shoreline at Jose Marti Park. It's gorgeous. It's beautiful. It gives an opportunity for people to reconnect with nature and to see what natural Miami used to be like. And so this ordinance to basically ban mangroves from city parks is really, you know, not a very popular -- it was not very popular when it was discussed at the summit. Why? Because Miami is the majority seawalls, right? That's dead shoreline. And so now this proposal is going to eliminate any opportunity for living shorelines and instead basically create more dead shorelines. So, I ask Chairman Carollo, sorry, to withdraw FR.2, please. Thank you, Vice Chairman. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Anyone else? Good morning. David Carson: Good morning. Thank you all for being here. Thank you for allowing us to speak publicly. Thank you to all of my mangrove colleagues over here. I would guess you can guess what I'm here to speak about today. My name is David Carson. I live at 844 Jefferson Ave. I'm a sea -level rise scientist from the Netherlands. I also have a great affinity for this city. My brother lives here. My nephew was born here. I moved back here to marry my wife. This city means everything to me, even though I'm not necessarily from here. And I would like it if I can come back to this city in the future when I'm your age. My nephew can spend time here in the future -- Commissioner Reyes: Your age. Mr. Carson: -- when he's your age. You know how it is. Unless we're actively planting many, many more of these, there is not going to be a Miami to come back to. They're like a million strong fingers that are holding the ground in place. They also trap the sediment and cause the ground to rise. There are so many things that are factually incorrect about this ordinance. But I want you to ask -- I want to ask you to think more than about the facts, about the science, but to think about your families and to think about those of us who want to keep living here, who want to keep coming back here with our families, with our future families, please withdraw this. It is completely, inappropriate and the opposite of what adaptation looks like for our city. We can be a marvelous city, a marvelous city, and in many ways we are. I moved back here for a reason, but we have a chance to do it again and we can plant a hell of a lot more of these. Chair King: Thank you. Mr. Carson: Thank you. City of Miami Page 14 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Chair King: Thank you. Anyone else here for public comment? Elvis Cruz: Good morning, Commissioners. Elvis Cruz, 631 Northeast 57th Street. I'm not going to talk to any one specific item, but rather to the entire order of the day. Please be advised there are many citizens who wanted to come here today to speak, but they heard in advance that some items were going to be deferred, and therefore, they did not come. Please keep that in mind as you digest everything you've heard here today. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Is there anyone else here for public comment? Seeing none, the public comment period is now closed. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Madam Chair? Chair King: Commissioner Reyes. Commissioner Reyes: Yes, I want to recognize that we have a program in the Law Department which is -- I mean, it's quite helpful for future attorneys. And I want to recognize all the Law Department interns that they are sitting on the first row. Could you please stand up? Those are the future attorneys. Take a good look at them. Applause. Commissioner Reyes: Good job. Thank you, Vicky. You're doing a hell of a good job. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Madam Chair? Vice Chair Carollo: That sounds like an endorsement. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah, right. Commissioner Reyes: Yes, I will endorse it. Yes.

City of Miami Page 21 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Mr. Manager or Annie, probably, right? At the end of the day, you 're the boss, the kind of boss, right? Tell me about -- Annie Perez (Director, Procurement): Good morning. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- the pool that we're accepting. Good morning. Tell me about the pool that we 're accepting. And is -- Ms. Perez: Okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay, just walk me through it very briefly. Ms. Perez: Sure. Good morning, Annie Perez -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Thank you. Ms. Perez: -- Director of Procurement. So, we had a lot of little contracts for different landscaping projects, for Public Works, et cetera. So, what we decided to do was to consolidate a lot of those contracts and make a pool. We also created -- we were able to create an opportunity for small businesses to be able to participate in the pool through the alleyways. We worked closely with Public Works on that. It's an open pool, so we can add vendors at any time. As a matter of fact, the vendors that were deemed non -responsive, we're going to allow them to cure once, you know, this is hopefully approved. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, I think, Madam Chair, the ones that were deemed not responsive, are they're still allowed to be responsive, for lack of a better - -? Ms. Perez: Once it's approved here, yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Ms. Perez: We already prepared letters on what they need to cure -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Ms. Perez: -- so that they can become responsive. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I just want to make -- Ms. Perez: Because we want to make sure we include everybody, as many firms as we can. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay, how many firms are you including now? Ms. Perez: Give me a second. Right now, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Eight firms. How many were deemed non- responsive? Ms. Perez: I want to say like five or six. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. I'm good. City of Miami Page 22 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Commissioner Reyes: Mr. -- Madam Chair, 1 cannot say that I'm very happy with the landscape and maintenance that we have. I mean, 1 cannot say that I'm happy, but always been asking for more color and everything is green in Miami. But 1 was wondering if every district, you see, we can have -- I mean, select among the -- with the pool -- within the pool, select -- do a, I would say, a competition or whatever so we can select the landscapers that -- I mean, to tend our landscape. Because if you go around the City of Miami, and particularly on the circles, you see you go around the circles and I don't know if other Commissioners are happy, but I'm not, the way that it been maintained. And most of the trees that -- I mean, take Coral Way, for example, 1 have to ask and ask and ask. 1 say, listen, get some flowers in there so it looks a little bit prettier. And I haven't got -- I mean, I got a little bit, but I -- and everybody knows that I have been asking for better landscape, that you go to any part of the world, you go to any part of the world, that you're driving on the streets and you see how well maintained, how flowery it is, how happy everybody -- the area looks because of the landscape. Our landscape, in my opinion, it is not the appropriate landscape for a city as Miami, you see. Ms. Perez: Commissioner, I will get together with Public Works and make sure that if there 's -- I suppose that you have had these conversations with the Administration. Commissioner Reyes: Yes, I have. Ms. Perez: Okay. Commissioner Reyes: And Juvenal is right here and he knows that I am always beating on -- Ms. Perez: So -- Commissioner Reyes: -- I mean, asking and asking and asking and asking all the time, all the time, because believe me, I travel a little while. I mean, I travel a lot, and there are other commissioners here that travel more than I have, and wherever you go to any other country, you see beautifid landscape, you see. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Been traveling my whole life. Juvenal Santana: Good morning, Commissioners. Juvenal Santana, Director of Public Works. We've been given a task to work with the Planning Department, with the Depart -- with the Office of Environmental Resources, with Capital Improvement, with the Parks Department, to put together basically a policy that includes the plant selections and we have heard the need to incorporate more than just evergreen trees, so we understand. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Chair King: Commissioner, have you seen MLK (Martin Luther King) Boulevard? Commissioner Reyes: Excuse me? Chair King: Have you seen MLK Boulevard, Northwest 62nd Street? Commissioner Reyes: Yes. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Beautiful. Chair King: They have done an excellent job. It's colorful. City of Miami Page 23 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Commissioner Reyes: Yes, but that's MLK. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Well, Cuban Memorial -- Cuban Memorial Parkway, in Commissioner Carollo 's district, has also -- they've done a really good job. Commissioner Reyes: Well, I'm talking about -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I think so. Commissioner Reyes: -- certain areas around nay district, and particularly, the circles and some parks too, some parks. And 1 have been arguing about the use of native flower trees that they don't require that much maintenance, and 1 mean, we can incorporate them. Chair King: Zero scape. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, that's where -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Even in deserts, even with deserts, they can do all kinds of creative stuff -- Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- these days, right? Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah. This is where I was heading to, ifI may, Chair. Chair King: Please. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Vice Chair Carollo: There are many native plants and some that are not necessarily native, but they could withstand our heat, that have beautiful flowers that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and are pretty to look at. And they don't grow huge where it blocks your view also. So, if we could, you know, be given some of those in each of our districts so that before you go and plant, we could choose what would we would prefer to put out there. And I don't know how we buy them, if we have our own nursery, if we go down south to get them, but it just seems to me that it would be -- behoove us to have more of the native plants that have flowers in the green spaces where we plant. Mr. Santana: Very good. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Mr. Santana: Understood. Commissioner Reyes: Thank you, Juvenal. And you know that I'm very persistent. Mr. Santana: No problem. That's what we're here for. Chair King: Thank you. Commissioner Reyes: Thank you. You're doing a good job. Mr. Santana: Thank you, sir.

Annie Perez, Director of Procurement. The way that RE.3 was written, it contemplated us piggybacking off of a contract that Jackson has for the medical equipment. What we found out was that -- we found out last week that we're not allowed to piggyback because we're not considered a public health agency. So, we will be bringing forth an emergency ratification item for the equipment in the very near future. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, we can't move it.

Chair King: Madam -- I was advised -- Madam City Attorney? City of Miami Page 34 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Yes. 1 guess before a motion is made on page 1, it simply just needs to read Charter Amendment Number 1. And also needs to reflect Resolution Number 22-0180. Chair King: Is anyone from staff here that can speak on this item? Jacqueline Lorenzo: Good morning, Commissioners. Jacqueline Lorenzo, with the Department of Real Estate and Asset Management. At the last meeting, we had a directive to bring a ballot question for an extension of the lease for Riverside Wharf. That's right next to the MRC (Miami Riverside Center) on the river. The ballot question would authorize the Manager to extend the lease for 50 years, increase the investment from 7 million to 50 million, require the tenant to install a new seawall and riverwalk, and increase the rent by 50 percent. Chair King: Commissioner Carollo -- Commissioner DLP (Diaz de la Portilla). Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: On? I mean, I'm sorry, I was reading something else related to this item. Vice Chair Carollo: RE (Resolution) -- Chair King: RE. 6. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: On RE.6. So, what did you say? I'm sorry, can you repeat it? Ms. Lorenzo: Sure. So, the ballot question would authorize an extension of the lease, essentially 50 years in addition to the already prior 50 year term. A $7 million investment would increase into a $50 million investment. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: From 7 to? Ms. Lorenzo: 50. Commissioner Reyes: 50. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: 50, okay. Ms. Lorenzo: There would be an -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Over the 50 years? Ms. Lorenzo: Just the investment of the development that they 're going to be implementing on the site. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Ms. Lorenzo: There's going to be a new seawall, a new riverwalk, and rent will increase by 50 percent. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: 5-0. Ms. Lorenzo: 5-0, yes. Vice Chair Carollo: Which will make it -- at the bottom line, the rent will be what? City of Miami Page 35 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Ms. Lorenzo: Approximately 330,000. We did obtain preliminary appraisals that came in lower than that amount. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Ms. Lorenzo: So, this is above fair market value. Vice Chair Carollo: Alright. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And those preliminary appraisals, what were they, and when did you obtain them? Ms. Lorenzo: Sure, so the first one was 230,000 a year. And the second -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: How much? Ms. Lorenzo: 230. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Ms. Lorenzo: And the second one was 290,000. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: When? Ms. Lorenzo: I'm sorry? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: When did you get those appraisals? Ms. Lorenzo: When? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah, when? Ms. Lorenzo: Just recently -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Ms. Lorenzo: -- this week. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. And they're willing to give again how much? Ms. Lorenzo: 330,000 approximately. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. What is the cutoff, if we have anything there, on -- is this just flat rent? We're not making any profits on any of the retail they have or anything else? Ms. Lorenzo: No, there's also percentage rent. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, that's where I'm heading to. Unidentified Speaker: 3. Ms. Lorenzo: It's 3 percent, right. Vice Chair Carollo: 3 percent? Ms. Lorenzo: Oh, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, hold on. City of Miami Page 36 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Vice Chair Carollo: That's low. Ms. Lorenzo: 15 percent, right. 15 percent of gross revenues. The 3 percent is the increase annually. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: The rent increase is 3 percent. Ms. Lorenzo: Of the base rent. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, the 15 percent -- if I may, Madam Chair -- the 15, to follow up on Commissioner Carollo, the 15 is on gross revenues or gross retail sales? Ms. Lorenzo: Gross revenues. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Okay. Limited to what? Ms. Lorenzo: It includes any revenues generated on the site. So, if they operate anything on the site themselves, then that would be triggered. And if they have a tenant, then those revenues would be triggered as well. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And it's 50 -- 5-0 -- 50 years? Ms. Lorenzo: For an additional 50 years. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: An additional -- so, they already have 40. Ms. Lorenzo: They already have 50 from what was authorized. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Well, they can. They -- right. Ms. Lorenzo: And then -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Thev have 40. How many do you have left? Yeah, I think she's a little bit off on the number. Javier Avino: For the record, Javier Avino, with law offices at 1450 Brickell Avenue, Bilzin Sumberg, on behalf of the lessee. I'm joined by Iris Escarra, from Greenberg Traurig, as well as Alex Mantecon from ME To answer your question, we have a 25- year lease term remaining with two extensions of 10 years. So, that is -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: 45 to 50. Mr. Avino: -- 45 years. And so, this would be 50 years on top of that. Vice Chair Carollo: How many acres is the whole site -- Mr. Avino: How many acres? Vice Chair Carollo: -- that you're getting from us in the City? Iris Escarra: 0.73, Mr. Avino: 0.73. City of Miami Page 37 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Vice Chair Carollo: How much? Mr. Avino: 0.73. Commissioner Reyes: Not even an acre. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Mr. Avino: Yeah. Commissioner Reyes: It's not even an acre. Mr. Avino: And to clay* a point from Commissioner Carollo before, the base rent is increasing, but as you indicated, our expectation is that the rent would be higher than that once you factor in gross revenues. Vice Chair Carollo: Sure. And how much commercial space are you going to have there in retail? Mr. AviFio: Total commercial space? Vice Chair Carollo: Square feet? Unidentified Speaker: Well, right now (INAUDIBLE) about 80 -- 70 -- 80,000 square feet. Mr. Avino: About 80,000 square feet. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, last question that I have, there's a little, small piece of property, almost insignificant, that's at the tip. Are you including that with the City property and the other properties in your build -out? Mr. Avino: No. Vice Chair Carollo: It don't natter to me, I'm just asking. Mr. Avino: No, it wasn't part of the RFP (Request for Proposals). Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Alright. Chair King: May I have a motion? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Well, no. Let me just -- the hotel. Tell me a little bit about the hotel. Mr. Avino: The hotel is actually located on the private property that's adjacent to the City property. So, the City property will consist of food and beverage outlets exclusively. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: But it's part of the complex that you're building. Mr. Avino: It is. They'll be connected through bridges. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Is it about -- it's about 20,000 square feet, something like that, in that range? City of Miami Page 38 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Mr. Avino: Total number of hotel rooms is 165. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: No, on the City property? The City property? Mr. Avino: I'm sorry? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: The City? Mr. Avino: No, the City property is .73 acres. Yeah, the City property is -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah. Mr. Avino: -- three quarters of an acre. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Three quarters of an acre. And how many, units in the hotel? Ms. Escarra: 165. Mr. Avino: 165. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: How many stories? Mr. Avino: It's eight stories. Ms. Escarra: Eight stories, the hotel; five stories (INAUDIBLE). Vice Chair Carollo: The other side has how many acres? Mr. Avino: The private side is a little higher than that. It's -- Unidentified Speaker: Almost an acre. Mr. Avino: -- ahnost an acre. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Commissioner Reyes: Very small. Mr. Avino: I mean they're fairly -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Condensed and you're going vertical basically. Commissioner Reyes: Yeah. Mr. Avino: Correct. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: (INAUDIBLE) as much vertical as you can. Mr. Avino: Correct. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: And that little property that Commissioner Carollo referred to, that's not included in any of this? Mr. Avino: It is not. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: There's no partnership at all involved there? City of Miami Page 39 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Mr. Avino: No. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: No? Okay. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Commissioner Reyes: Yeah. Chair King: May 1 have a motion? Commissioner Reyes: Move. Vice Chair Carollo: Motion. Chair King: Second. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I'll second it. Chair King: All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Mr. Hannon: And Chair, just for the record, there 's one whereas clause on page 2 that needs to be amended. Whereas, pursuant to Resolution R-22-0108 adopted on March ]oth, 2022, the City Attorney was directed to draft the ballot language contained herein. Thank you, Chair. Mr. Avino: Iris just reminded me -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I didn't understand a word he said. Can you do it again? Mr. Avino: One clarification for the record. Ms. Lorenzo mentioned that the investment is from 7 to 50. It's from 7 to 30 million, which is what's in the legislation. That's the minimum investment increase. All the other numbers that Ms. Lorenzo indicated are correct. I just want to clam that for the record. Chair King: Thank you. Todd. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So, from 7 to 30, from 7 to 50, a big difference, right? Mr. Avino: Right. Hence why we wanted the clarification on the -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: What's $20 million between friends, right? Mr. Avino: Even though the legislation says the 30, we wanted the clarification for the purposes of the record. Chair King: Thank you. Todd, could you please read that again a little bit more slowly? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yeah, and then I want -- Mr. Hannon: Yes, ma'am. City of Miami Page 40 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: --1 want additional questions. Mr. Hannon: On page 2 of the resolution, there is a whereas clause that needs to be amended. Whereas, pursuant to Resolution R-22-0108, adopted on March 10, 2022, the City Attorney was directed to draft the ballot language contained herein. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I got it. Chair King: And you have one more question? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: One more question, which is, remember we had a little bit of a debate whether this property was going to be in your district, Madam Chair, or my district, right? That's what we're doing. Obviously, it's an important part of what the City of Miami is doing and redevelopment of the river, in particular, I think it's very important that we move forward. The concern that 1 have is community benefits. Are there any community benefits attached to this particular project in mind? What are you thinking in terms of parking, in terms of beautification, landscaping? Chair King: Have you met me? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: What? Chair King: Have you met me? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yes. Chair King: Do you think there will not be --? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I'm fully aware. I mean, you know what? It's a check and balance here. Chair King: I see. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I'm just -- I'm keeping you honest. Chair King: Okay. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I want to know. I want to know. Chair King: I don't think, Commissioner -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I want to know what you're doing. Chair King: -- there's not a project corning through my district -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Ronald Reagan, Ronald Raegan -- Chair King: -- that will not have a community benefit. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: By the way, we have Ronald Reagan Park now in Allapattah. You know that, right? So -- yeah. So, he used to say, trust but verify. Chair King: That is true. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Trust but verify. Vice Chair Carollo: Where? City of Miami Page 41 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Chair King: I loved his story. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Ronald Reagan Park, next to the PBA (Police Benevolent Association). We named it with the (UNINTELLIGIBLE) of Commissioner Russell, shocking. He said, one for the Gipper. We named -- we have Ronald W. Reagan Park. It was pretty cool, I think. Chair King: Go ahead. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Go ahead. Tell me the community benefits. Ms. Escarra: Good after -- good morning, everyone. We actually have a series of community benefits, and actually this project requires City Commission approval. So, the project in and of itself with the details will be coming before this board -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: I know, I know. Ms. Escarra: -- hopefully in the next month or two, depending on how we do on scheduling. But we 're hoping to come before you and explain all those community benefits. Just to rattle them off, just so you have some -- Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Yes. Ms. Escarra: -- on the record, but we will be going over that in detail. We have improvements to the seawall, we have resiliency. The road in front of us, after the 1st Avenue Bridge was done -- the 1st Street Bridge was done, we ended up having to raise that street even further and work with Public Works. Vice Chair Carollo: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the seawall. How many mangroves are you putting in the improvements? Ms. Escarra: I am not familiar with that particular question, Commissioner. I'd have to come back to you with that response. But we are doing a whole series of programs that we will be bringing before you at that time. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: Well, the community benefits are important because even though it's in Commissioner King's district, it's a block away from where my district begins now. It's across the river from where Commissioner Carollo's district is. So, in essence, the whole area needs to be beautified. And the community benefits are going to matter to this entire Commission. There are issues, like for example, you know, soccer stadium, Hyatt and other big issues that matter to the entire city -- Ms. Escarra: Right. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- irrespective of what district they happen to be in. This particular area, it's close proximity to the district I represent, it's across from where Commissioner Carollo represents, so the development is important fir jobs and for the area and beautification of the area. But the surrounding areas are not in great condition, as you well know, Mr. Mantecon, right? So, you know very well that you need to spend some dollars, some community dollars, some community benefits given from you over there to benefit the rest of the surrounding areas, not only your particular development. So, I want there to be a serious commitment in terms of community benefits and a specific commitment when it comes back before us as to what those community benefits are. So, you may be very demanding, but I'mright behind you -- City of Miami Page 42 Printed on 06/05/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 31, 2022 Ms. Escarra: Will do. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: -- in terms of being demanding. Ms. Escarra: Will do. Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: That's very important. Ms. Escarra: And well make sure that before we come back with the project, we'll make sure we sit down with everyone. Chair King: Thank you. Ms. Escarra: Thank you.

Commissioner Russell? Commissioner Russell: Yes, Madam Chair. Thank you. And I think we probably all agree. I'd like to proffer a direction to the Manager to come up with a mangrove management plan in conjunction with DERM (Department of Environmental Resources Management). I know that we have mangrove trimming permits in some of our parks, but not all. But there is no active maintenance. There is no set Parks Department policy around mangrove maintenance. And 1 think that might actually be a good idea that would help us not look at mangroves as a negative or something to eliminate, but rather something that we can live with and manage. And I think there 's a way to do so and still protect views, but yet protect our resilience as well. Thank you, Madam Chair.
