There are no Planning and Zoning items on today's agenda, so there are no further statements to be made for the order of the day. Chair King: What about your statement for public comments? Mr. Hannon: It's your prerogative, but if you would like to open up public comment for all items now, you may do so. Or you can go to the order of the day if you want to defer and continue any items. You could certainly -- I'm not sure if the Manager has any items that need to be deferred or continued, indefinitely deferred, withdrawn during the order of the day portion of today's agenda. Ms. Mendez: Madam Chair, what your -- what the portion that you're requesting, since the PZ items were reset, we don't have that additional instruction today. Chair King: Okay. [Later...] Chair King: At this time, we are going to set the agenda. Commissioners, Vice Chair, do you have any items that you'd like to defer? Vice Chair Carollo: Yes, Chairwoman. This is the first time that we're getting some of these items since our new ordinance, so I want to make sure that we do -- thank you -- we do right and we do justice. And I'd like to -- because it will set a precedent in whatever we do in these City of Miami Page 2 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 items now. 1'd like to defer CA.3 and CA.4. And 1 think it was a mistake for these to have been put into the CA (Consent Agenda) category because they will never be part -- Victoria Mendez (City Attorney): Yeah, they were going to be -- Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah. Ms. Mendez: -- they were going to be pulled from CA. It was a mistake. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, they would never be part of the CA in the fixture. Chair King: Okay, wait a minute. On those two items, particularly, we have a representative JroCA.4 here, and these -- both of these items are in my district, and I've -- I actually -- should 1 make the Jennings disclosure now? So, let me make my Jennings disclosure. Per the applicable provisions of Miami 21 and Florida law, I, Christine King, as City Commissioner, am disclosing that I spoke to a representative for CA.3 and CA.4 of -- and the subject of our meeting was this item. So, the subject of our meeting, I'd like to introduce you to, for example, with CA.4, if you could come forward. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, but -- Commissioner Reyes: Madam Chair, I want to make a Jennings discussion -- I mean, disclosure also, and 1 had received communication, I had communication with representatives from CA.3 and 4. Chair King: Okay. So, I'd just like to get some -- Commissioner Reyes: Basically, Chairwoman, I respect you if they want to speak, but let me say this. These properties have been acquiring additional monies due to the City for years and years and years. So, for us to bring it back to another meeting, it's not going to hurt anything there. This is why I'm asking for that because my concern is that, and I saw that they were in your property, that's why I asked for that in particularly because I want to do what's right in these and every one of these. But my concern is that these are the first two, and whatever we do is going to not weigh in of what we do into the future, but also what the new ordinance that we passed would say, because if this becomes something that everyone knows that they don 't have to abide by what we put in the ordinance, that they could just come up here and get everything wiped out, then what have we done? We've opened a Pandora's box even worse. So, I haven't had the time to sit down with the Administration and get into a lot of this, how long they've been here, if there have been transfers of properties on any of these or not and other factors that might make them different from other items that will get up and could affect my vote on them. And that's all that I'm asking, just time so I could sit with the Administration and be able to get everything explained, which I haven't had the time. Chair King: Okay. Arthur Noriega (City Manager): Madam Chair, if I may, can we just for consistency and set, can we set the order of the day first and decide what we're going to keep on and keep off and then that way we can kind of proceed forward with the -- with whatever items you want to take out of order? We can certainly do that, but can we --? I'd like to see if we can kind of get the order of the day set because we've bounced around a little bit. Chair King: Right, we have bounced around a little bit, and it's an unusual meeting. This -- I believe, we don't have another meeting until September? Vice Chair Carollo: No, we have one in July. Chair King: The 28th, okay. City of Miami Page 3 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 Vice Chair Carollo: The 28th. Chair King: Okay, so if we can bring it back on the 28th, I'll be amenable to that. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, yeah, sure. That's what I was trying to do. Chair King: Okay, alright. We can do that. Alright, so let's set the order of the day. We're going to defer CA.3 and CA.4 until July 28, which is the very next meeting of the Commission meeting, which will give my colleague a chance to -- Vice Chair Carollo: And feel free to contact my office if you want to meet with me and give me any input. I'm glad to meet with you. Chair King: Okay. Alright, thank you. Unidentified Speaker: Thank you. Chair King: Commissioner, do you have any more items that you would like to defer? Vice Chair Carollo: No, just -- just those two. Chair King: Commissioner Reyes, do you have any? Commissioner Reyes: No. Chair King: I have PH 7 that I'd like to defer. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, that's fine. Todd B. Hannon (City ClerA): Chair, what date would you like to defer PH 7? Chair King: I'm going to defer that indefinitely. Mr. Hannon: Understood. Chair King: Commissioner, are there any items that you'd like to defer? Commissioner Russell? Mr. Manager, do you have any items that you'd like to defer? Mr. Noriega: No, the only request we had on our slate was the personal appearance, which is PA.1. That's a time certain for 10, but we're past 10 o'clock already, so. Chair King: Are they here? Mr. Noriega: Not sure it really applies. Commissioner Reyes: Yes, they're here. Mr. Noriega: Yeah, they're here. Chair King: Okay, so let's have the -- now that we've set the agenda, do I have a motion? Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla: So moved. Chair King: Second? Vice Chair Carollo: Second. City of Miami Page 4 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 Chair King: All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye.

Commissioner Reyes: Representative Bryan Avila. Chair King: Good morning. Senator Ileana Garcia: Good morning. Commissioner Reyes: Who else do we have? Senator Garcia: Good morning. How are you? So, let me make sure that this is off. Anyway, it is a pleasure to be with all of you once again here today, for the first time with you, Chairwoman King, a pleasure. It's an honor. Once again, very proud and honored to be able to stand before you and celebrate the wonderful things accomplished in Tallahassee. As you know, last session I worked diligently with Representative Senator Bryan Avila on security protections for Biscayne Bay, CS/HB 1177, along with legislation to further protect victims of domestic violence, very important for us in particular lately with a lot of the mishaps that unfortunately we see in the news. But fortunately, this session I was able to do a little more to protect seniors and children, able to pass a wonderful piece of legislation called the No Patient Left Alone Act, SB 988, which ensures that patients, residents, and clients have the support of their loved ones when they need it the most. The legislation requires that intermediate care facilities for the developmentally disabled, developmental disability centers, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, hospice facilities, and hospitals allow visitation at all times, meaning that there will never again, here in the state of Florida, be a patient that is left alone. Also, we were able to pass HB 173, which is care for students with epilepsy, which provides for the creation of an individualized seizure action plan for a student with epilepsy or seizure disorders to receive healthcare at school, something that is very important for many of us that suffer from epilepsy. I think that that's a subject that not many of us talk about and we should be talking about. Now parents have that extra layer of protection City of Miami Page 6 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 in schools knowing that they have a via, a way of knowing that their child is going to he in good hands with protection protocols, education protocols with the students, and a direct communication with the doctors. Also, we were able to pass a wonderful bill called Homeless Youth, HB 1577, which expands several programs which I think are very important for homeless youth in this area. Certified homelessness youth including campus coach program to ensure success in post -secondary education and the Keys to Independence Program, which removes barriers Pr employment and anything needed for homeless youth needing all of these social benefits that are there Pr them, they just weren 't sure how to access them. Also, I brought much attention to the situation that we encounter in Cuba with atrocities and genocide in Cuba. HM 43, recognizing that the Cuban government continues to repress all peaceful attempts by the Cuban people to bring democratic change to the island by denying universally recognized liberties and condemning the Cuban government's attempt to silence the will of the people. So, with that in mind also, forgive me, we were able to pass a great law that I think will help us all. It's not completely finished, but I think it's a step in the right direction. Whereas enthusiast visitors and our beautiful habitat will now be protected with the Boating Safety Act of 2022. It's SB 606, which basically focuses on illegal liveries, vessel safety and boating safety programs. The bill addresses dangerous boating and allows law enforcement to hold irresponsible livery operations and bad actors that we see very often on our spoiler islands, on Biscayne Bay, affecting our habitat -- Vice Chair Carollo: Miami River. Senator Garcia: -- and all of the -- Commissioner Reyes: The Miami River. Senator Garcia: -- all of the usual things that we do every weekend, which is what we enjoy from South Florida. In addition to that, we were able to secure almost $12 million in funding for projects that protect the environment, improve critical infrastructure, support mental health programs, enhance education outcomes, and assist seniors, foster children, homeless youth, and obviously, the food insecure. Of those very many projects, there were projects in the Kinloch area, Kinloch Roadway neighborhood improvements, Fairlawn community storm water and drainage, East Avondale drainage and flooding mitigation, all of that with Commissioner Manolo Reyes. We did great things as well with, pardon me let me grab my notes, my notes here, with Commissioner Joe Carollo. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you. Senator Garcia: Previously, we had done, in Little Havana, the safe streets, pedestrian crosswalks. Both last session and this session we were able to bring a fair amount of money to continue to improve the many lives that we enjoy taking care of here in this district. We did localized flooding improvements for District 3, pump station upgrades also for District 3, and tidal valves and flood improvements for District 3. In addition, outside of the City of Miami though -- actually no, for Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla, not within this package, but we were able to reassure $1.6 million for the Pace School fir Girls, very much needed in your area, and also make sure that the Allapattah Senior Center continues to get recurring funds. For Chairwoman King, we were able to allocate $400,000 for involuntary outpatient services for mental services for those most vulnerable in the community. And for Commissioner Ken Russell, we were able to allocate $700,000 for the community health center alongside giving some additional funds for the Casa Valentina Foster Care Youth Program, which is very close to both of our hearts. Also adding to the many things needed in the area are -- were the additional funds for the Underline, which will definitely help us and continue to connect the community City of Miami Page 7 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 together. And well, with much ado, I am very grateful and honored to be able to represent all of you in the great capital of Tallahassee. I'm very blessed by God to he able to serve and appreciate the support of my constituents and lookforward to much more bacon, as Commissioner Carollo would say, for the next legislative session next year. Thank you very much. Commissioner Reyes: Madam Chair? Chair King: Commissioner Reyes. Commissioner Reyes: I want to thank you because you have worked, 1 mean, very diligent with -- and have done everything in your power, together with Representative Avila, and we have Mr. Barquin here, and the whole delegation, but you took a lead on my projects and City projects. And I thank you very much because we need that, you see. I personally -- I can start four different projects in my district that is going to improve the quality of life of the residents, and for that, I thank you, as well as I want to extend my gratitude to (UNINTELLIGIBLE), I mean, future Senator Avila, and Barquin and all those representatives, Barquin, Representative Perez, and Manny Diaz, and all of you guys, the whole -- the whole delegation, Dade Delegation was very helpful. And I also want to mention that, yeah, take the message to the Governor. Thank you very much for not vetoing. I mean, the wonderful work that you did, you see. And also, 1 think that we have a representative here from Senator Rodriguez that I have -- 1 also want to mention it and I thank you. 1 thank her through -- give my thanks. And we're just going to get ready for the next session. Thank you, guys. Great job. Great job. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. So, how would we like to handle the presentation? Do we want to go --? Commissioner Reyes: Yes, let's go -- Vice Chair Carollo: Can I say something? Chair King: Please, yes. Commissioner -- Commissioner Reyes: Any one of you, you want to --? Representative Barquin, Representative Avila, do you want to also address? Vice Chair Carollo: Chair, Chair. Commissioner Reyes: Please, let him -- Chair King: Our Vice Chair would like to say something as well. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you, Chair. Senator, I have been amazed as a rookie senator what you have been able to accomplish in your first term against many, many odds. Senator Garcia: Thank you. Vice Chair Carollo: We're proud of you, and we're grateful to you because if you had not been there, quite a few of the large projects in my district and some neighboring districts, I doubt if they ever would have happened. So, on behalf of all of our residents, we thank you for a job above and beyond -- Commissioner Reyes: The call of duty. City of Miami Page 8 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 Vice Chair Carollo: -- what was expected that you would be able to accomplish. But at the same time, you've had a good team working with you. Representative Avila has done an excellent job at helping. Representative Barquin, also along with many others, and of course, Representative Perez that is the one that's a little farther away from some of our districts, but I know he's been there also on the team to make this happen. So, we're very grateful to all of you as a team for what you've accomplished, but we've known who's carried the main water for us, and we're very grateful. Senator Garcia: Thank you. You said a critical word there, team. It is so important to be able to count on a good team and a good coping system, support system, because as all of you may know, this can be a very difficult, at times it seems like it's a thankless job, and it's not. I don't think there's anything more rewarding than knowing that you can make a difference, especially for the most vulnerable community. And I'm very honored to be able to work with the Miami -Dade Delegation, with Representative Barquin, with future Senator Bryan Avila, Senator Ana Maria Rodriguez, and the rest of the delegation. And a big motivating factor is all of you. It is an honor to be able to serve in a district that I was born and raised in, with people that I saw also help the community grow. So, it is an honor for me. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you. Commissioner Reyes: Madam Chair, I'm just -- I don't want to leave out our thanks to Wilton -- Wilton, the -- Senator Garcia: President Simpson. Commissioner Reyes: -- President -- Senate President, and also the Speaker, Chris Sprowls. I met with both of them and they gave their whole support to the projects that I presented and I thanked them in our behalf. I know that Wilton is running for another office, but we 're going to miss him in the Senate. We 're going to miss him. He was a great ally, great ally. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you again. We would like to move forward with the presentation. It is wonderful that we can work together, and that is what good government does, so thank you again for your work. Senator Garcia: Thank you. Chair King: We're going to go down. Commissioner Reyes: Mr. Avila. Senator Bryan Avila: Thank you, Commissioner. Thank you, Madam Chair, Mr. Vice Chairman, Commissioners. For me, it's really an honor and a privilege to be here with all of you. Certainly, it's -- I've been beyond blessed and fortunate to work with great leaders, you know. We have, Senator Garcia mentioned, a great team. You know, I served in the military, and you know, for me, it's kind of -- I'm used to sort of this military structure, you know. And in that mindset, you know, I can tell you, you know, certainly, our general in Tallahassee was Senator Garcia. She was instrumental in making sure that a lot of these funds came back. This is, I mean, record funding for the City of Miami. That doesn't include the 25 million for the Freedom Tower. That doesn't include, you know, the 3 million for the Bay of Pigs. You know, there's a lot here that I would say a lot of other parts in the state really didn't get, you know, this sort of support from their, you know, and this sort of hard work and determination from their delegation. So, fbr me, it's really an honor to work with such great leaders. And I know day in and day out, we're putting in the hard work and the time to make sure that these projects came back to the City of Miami City of Miami Page 9 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 and addressed critical needs, right? Flooding, road repairs, planning for the future, we're seeing more and more people move to the state of Florida. We're seeing about a thousand people a day come to the state of Florida. Right now, the state of Florida is the 15th largest economy in the world, the 15th largest economy in the world. We have over a trillion dollars in GDP (Gross Domestic Product). And this community, Miami -Dade County and the City of Miami are instrumental to that economic growth. Just to give you some context, Miami -Dade County is larger than 15 states, larger than 15 states in the union. And with that growing demand and the need for people wanting to live in the City of Miami and in Miami -Dade County, it's essential that we have these projects. So, you know, again, for me, 1 am so grateful and so fortunate to work with these great leaders and to work with all of you because without your support none of this would be possible. I know several of you, you know, Commissioner or Commissioner Reyes, 1 mean, we were talking on a weekly basis. Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Senator Avila: You know, I know I met with the Vice Chairman, with Commissioner Diaz de la Portilla and others. I mean, it was -- it was really a team effort, so thank you so much fbr putting in the hard work and for advocating for your residents and for our community because, without your support, without, you know, the hard work that this delegation has put forward under our general, this wouldn't be -- this wouldn't be possible. So, thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Commissioner Reyes: Mr. Barquin, you want to address us? Representative Juan Fernandez-Barquin: Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair, Mr. Vice Chair, Commissioners. Just want to -- just want to say that it's a pleasure to absolutely, help you and to help your residents. So, thank you very much. I look forward to helping you all in the future, and my office is always welcome to all of you and to your residents. So, thank you very much. Chair King: Thank you. Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Chair, if I could just have the speaker's name for the record. Representative Fernandez-Barquin: Oh, my apologies. Juan Fernandez-Barquin, State Representative District 119. Chair King: Thank you. END OF PERSONAL APPEARANCE City of Miami Page 10 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR ALL ITEM(S) SP.1 12323 Office of the City Clerk DISCUSSION ITEM PUBLIC COMMENTS SUBMITTED ONLINE BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC FOR THE JULY 19, 2022 SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION MEETING. RESULT: PRESENTED Chair King: At this time, I'm going to open public comment for all other items that are appearing on the agenda for today. Anyone wishing to speak on any of the items that appear in the agenda today, please step forward. Good morning, good to see you again. Luimar Zibetti Garza: Thank you. Good morning. Forgive me, I turned 60 last week and suddenly my eyes said, move closer. Therefore, I'll be a little succinct. Briefly, please join me in my fun fantasy, fact or fiction world. I know that we can all feel that something, something out there is intent upon wrecking our economy, our peace of mind, our way of life, in fact, our very existence. And to that end, I admonish you all, 1 am merely a messenger to wit. Be prepared to unlearn everything you were ever taught or thought as a result thereof as being the truth. It ain 't. That said, in case you didn't know, it is my civic duty from the LISP Alliance, that is the Lightworkers, Indigos, Starseeds, and Patriots, to let you know that the 2020 election is being overturned. Look towards October. Your real Donald "Bain Ram" Trump soon returns. For those of you who have any skeletons in your closet, in your political closet, just remember, this right here is something that the White House can hear you breathe at all times. I strongly suggest many of you seek out x22report.com. Which reminds me, is Javier Suarez still stuck in Davos with Charles Schwab? That being said, I am still homeless at Peacock Park, still awaiting your non political visit, Mr. Russell, and after all the monies that were given today, over a hundred and fifty million, if not more, for the homeless and the vulnerable, I am included in that -- that cache of money and I would hope that all of you would consider. Again, my name is Luimar Zibetti Garza. Where we go one, we go all. Thank you. Chair King: Good morning. Elvis Cruz: Good morning, Commissioner. I'm just waiting for the technician to put me online here. Chair King: Which item are you speaking on today? Mr. Cruz: I'll be speaking on Item RE.4, which is the grant agreement for Jose Marti Park. (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Mr. Cruz: Thank you, sir. Christopher Arias (Information Technology Technician II): Okay. We're going to have -- do you mind putting the presentation on a flash drive so I can put it on my computer? For some reason, it's not coming up. City of Miami Page 11 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 Mr. Cruz: It looks like I'm the only one. Am 1 going to --? We're having some technical issues. Can I come back in a few minutes? Mr. Arias: We're getting the laptop ready. (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Commissioner Russell: Are there other folks who'd like to speak at public comment? Mr. Cruz: Mr. Vice Chair, having some technical issues, can I come back in a few minutes? Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Vice Chair, we do have another speaker we can go to for right now while Elvis is working on the technical issue. Ma'am, if you'd like to start. (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Maria Garnica: My name is Maria Garnica, and I'm for the property in 4531 Northwest 6th Street, Miami, Florida. I'm here today -- thank you for having me. I'm here today bringing a problem I have with the City new rule. It affects my retirement property. It has --1 have been working two jobs, sometimes three, to be able to invest all my money in this property, and now it has a lien that is more money than what the property is worth. I found out about a lien in 2012. They said that it was a lien that it was a door connecting one of the legal -- very legal carport that was opened up and I thought that was gone. My plans were for keeping this property to support my retirement. After medical diagnosis, I put my property for sale. I realized this property had a lien. So, I went back to the inspectors, they said that there was another lien for a bathroom. So, the prop -- so, after three years, with architects, contractors, plumbing, the property was in compliance in October 2021. It took six months to get all the final affidavit of compliance. So, now I'm here today respectfully asking to review niv case. So, you see that after three years, up to the date, through a pandemic, getting contractors, getting this property up to date, up to code, and now I cannot mitigate the $541, 000 lien that I have with the City. So, I would respectfully ask you to review the case. I have papers, I have emails that say that I could mitigate this lien and now after March 2022, the rule changed. Vice Chair Carollo: Ma'am, are you on the agenda today? Ms. Garnica: I'm sorry? Vice Chair Carollo: Are you on the agenda for today? Ms. Garnica: They told me I could come and fill out the -- and -- Vice Chair Carollo: Sure, certainly, you could speak any time, but my question is, is this property on the agenda today? Ms. Garnica: Is the property on the agenda, sir? Vice Chair Carollo: I don't believe it is. Ms. Garnica: No, no. Vice Chair Carollo: Okav, so what we need for us to be able to hear this is for you to go through the proper channels and either through the City Attornev's Office with the City Clerk for it to be placed on the agenda. for a future agenda so we could hear it. City of Miami Page 12 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 Ms. Garnica: Go to the Attorney's Office? Vice Chair Carollo: Well, I'ni not saying to resolve it necessarily, I'm saying to hear it. Ms. Garnica: But I don't know -- Vice Chair Carollo: Maybe we could resolve, maybe we can't. I can't tell you right now. Ms. Garnica: So, who do I request that would -- Vice Chair Carollo: If you could contact the City Attorney's Office since they're handling these. Ms. Garnica: City Attorney's? Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah. Ms. Garnica: Thank you. Sorry about that. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you. We ready, Elvis? Mr. Cruz: It'll be about another 90 seconds. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Mr. Cruz: I had to do a restart. Vice Chair Carollo: Is there anybody else here that would like to address this body on any item in the agenda? Okay, hearing none, then we'll just wait for you to be ready and we'll hear you. Mr. Cruz: I appreciate that very much, Commissioner. Vice Chair Carollo: Certainly. [Later...] Commissioner Russell: Would you like a motion on the RE (Resolution) agenda outside of Mr. Cruz's item? Vice Chair Carollo: Let's wait for the Chair now that she's back so she could go on. Commissioner Russell: Yes, sir. Chair King: Okay. Vice Chair Carollo: Chair, we did the CA (Consent Agenda) and PH (Public Hearing). Chair King: Yay, and the PHs? Vice Chair Carollo: Yes. Chair King: Okay. City of Miami Page 13 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 Commissioner Reyes: (INAUDIBLE) already passed. Chair King: RE.1 is already passed. Do 1 have a motion for RE.2, 3, 4, 5 and 6? RE.7 Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Chair, Mr. Cruz is here to speak on RE.4 so -- Chair King: He hasn't finished? Vice Chair Carollo: No. Commissioner Russell: He never started. Vice Chair Carollo: He never got started. Mr. Cruz: I'm ready now. Commissioner Reyes: He never got started. My goodness. Mr. Cruz: But I'm glad you're here to hear it. Alright, may I begin? Chair King: Go right ahead. Mr. Cruz: Commissioner, is it --? Chair King: And you're speaking on RE? Mr. Cruz: RE.4. Chair King: RE.4. Mr. Cruz: Thank you. Chair King: Okay. Mr. Cruz: Elvis Cruz, 631 Northeast 57th Street. Item RE.4 is a grant agreement for Jose Marti Park, which requires mangroves and living shorelines that would greatly harm the public's enjoyment. Mangroves offer minuscule protection from flooding and storm surge. This picture from Florida Fish and Wildlife clearly shows coastal mangroves destroyed by Hurricane Irma with much erosion. Mangroves cannot defy the laws' of physics. The Nature Conservancy showed that a one kilometer wide mangrove forest only reduced the depth of storm surge by 9.4 centimeters. One kilometer is from here to Shipping Avenue. I'm holding up 9.4 centimeters. That's how much it was reduced. They do sequester carbon, as does any tree anywhere in the world. One acre of mangroves sequesters less carbon than one car's yearly output. This agenda item has no plans attached. How can you commit to a landscape agreement without plans? But the consultant's plans proposed .071 acres of mangroves, which would yield only $40 worth of flood protection and sequestered carbon from 19 gallons of gasoline per year. That's minuscule. For mangroves to have significant environmental benefit, you need a large area. A shoreline strip is just a token for the look, window dressing, ornamental environmentalism. Same thing with planting three-foot tall marsh grass. All that would do is prevent the public from using the area. If anyone doubts anything I've said, I invite them to challenge me. The City often lets consultants make the creative decision rather than receiving their information and then having the City and logical public input snake the creative decisions. Big problem. Seawalls should be placed at the shoreline not inland. This alternative concept for Jose Marti Park shows a seawall allowing boats to dock along the river. In closing, the landscaping required by this agreement would greatly harm City of Miami Page 14 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 the public interest by disrupting riverfront recreational open space and obstructing river views. Please amend the agreement to not allow that to happen. Thank you for your indulgence. Chair King: Thank you, Elvis. Is there anyone --? Mr. Cruz: I have some information I'm going to hand out through the Clerk now. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you. Chair King: Fine. Is there anyone else here for public comment? Seeing none, public comment period is closed.

Commissioner Reyes: She controls (INAUDIBLE). Chair King: New system. Commissioner Russell: She controls us too. Commissioner Reyes: She's in charge. Mr. Ihekwaba: Good morning, Madam Chair and members of Miami City Commission. Zerry Ihekwaba, Deputy City Manager. Mr. Elvis Cruz, we do acknowledge some of your observations. However, I think your reference information source is a little out of date. Subsequent to a discussion about the propriety of having mangroves on shoreline, sponsored by Commissioner Carollo, the Administration actually reached out to the State and amended the application. On May 26, the City sent an email asking the State to strikeout and delete all references to mangroves in our application. And on June 30th, they conceded to that request in writing. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Commissioner Reyes: So, in other words -- through the Chair, in other words, mangroves are not included in that -- Mr. Ihekwaba: They're not included in that application. City of Miami Page 27 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 Commissioner Reyes: Okay. I think that will -- Mr. Ihekwaba: We have the documents with us that -- Commissioner Reyes: -- will take care of that. Vice Chair Carollo: My next question. The seagrass, the highest it'll get is three feet or so, and that's not going to block the view of a grownup from seeing across, so I'm not as concerned with that as 1 am with mangroves. But in this application, how many slips or areas of dockage are we proposing to have in Jose Marti Park? Hector Badia (Director, Office of Capital Improvement): The current plan shows one slip for a water taxi with the ability to add another slip. So, we have a maximum of two slips and that's regulated by the County. Vice Chair Carollo: That's regulated by? Mr. Badia: By Miami -Dade County, the Manatee Protection Plan. Vice Chair Carollo: But we could ask for more, can't we, try to get an exception? Mr. Badia: We would have to aniend the Manatee Protection Plan in order to be able to do that. Vice Chair Carollo: That's one that we could get, actually two, one for a water taxi and another one. Mr. Badia: Yes, sir. Vice Chair Carollo: Alright, that's fine, okay. Elvis Cruz: Commissioner Carollo, may, I respond? Vice Chair Carollo: Yes. Mr. Cruz: Thank you, through the Chair. Thank you. I'm very thankful for what Zerry had to say. However, please know that in this agenda item, in your packet, the agreement, and if they could connect my computer back up to the slideshow, on page 24, it does specifically -- Vice Chair Carollo: Mangroves. Mr. Cruz: -- say mangroves. Vice Chair Carollo: I know. And this is being taken out of here, correct, the mangroves? Mr. Badia: Correct. We have confirmation from the State accepting the deletion of mangroves from the agreement. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. So, for the record, Mr. Clerk, they're proffering that they have submitted to the State that mangroves will be taken out of this application on page 24 and that, in fact, mangroves will not -- will be deleted from page 24. (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah. City of Miami Page 28 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Excuse me, Chair. Madam City Attorney, does the legislation need to be amended in any way, shape, or form, or can we pass it as is? Victoria Mendez (City Attorney): If something's being submitted, then it needs to be amended. Mr. Hannon: Understood. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Alright, so 1 will move forward and make a motion with the amendment on PH.4 [sic] -- Commissioner Reyes: 1 second. Commissioner Russell: RE. Vice Chair Carollo: -- for Jose Marti. Commissioner Reyes: Second. Chair King: RE.4, you mean? Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, RE.4, I'm sorry. Chair King: RE.4. Commissioner Reyes: I second it. Chair King: So, are we --?

Chair King: What I'm trying to facilitate now, 1 see our Congresswoman, Frederica Wilson, in the office -- in the house, and I'd like to recognize her and also take her item out of turn. So, do we need to -- before we set the agenda, I'd like to go ahead and recognize her. Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Testing. So, you 're calling to order Item RE.6. Chair King: Yes. Mr. Hannon: Understood. Chair King: So, can we have RE (Resolution) Item RE.6 heard, and if there's anyone here for public comment that would like to speak on RE.6, please stand forward. Commissioner Reyes: Madam Chair, before we start, I would like to co-sponsor that item. Chair King: Okay. Thelma Gibson: Let me say good morning to everyone, everybody in the congregation Commissioner Russell: Good morning. Ms. Gibson: -- in the audience, as well as our Commissioners. I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for voting to name a park in my honor, and I'm grateful for that, and I want to thank you. I did not know about it until it was happening, and when our commissioner said to me, we're going to name a park after you, I said, oh no, I don't need anything named after me. And so you all did it and I am grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. But I'm here this morning to speak on this item, the naming of the West Grove to Little Bahamas in Coconut Grove. For those of you who don't know the history of our section, I'm always thankful to give a little bit of history because when I first heard about naming this Little Bahamas, it came from Miss Corky Dozier because we were in a meeting that Officer Leonard called to talk about bringing the Goombay back to Coconut Grove. And she mentioned that we should be calling this Little Bahamas because she's been going back and forth to the Bahamas to get the off -duty police there and all that to come back for Goombay. And so I'm happy when Congresswoman Wilson took it up and said, oh yes, this is something that should happen and this should be named Little Bahamas. And for those of you who don't know, if you came from other places other than Bahamas, you need to know that the West Grove is the first section that was dug out for the Coconut Grove -- City of -- we were a city, you know. Coconut Grove was a city. We were incorporated in 1876. The City of Miami was not incorporated until 1896, 20 years later. And a lot of people don't know that. But it was because of the Bahamians, they came, they used the dynamite and everything else that the people here in America at that time did not know how to use. And they were able to dig out a street that they called Evangelist Street. And the reason they called it Evangelist Street, because the first three black churches that were found in the Grove were Macedonia, which was on Charles Avenue. It was Evangelist Street back then. And then Macedonia -- St. Paul AME (African Methodist Episcopal) Church, and then Christ Episcopal Church and those three churches were for people of color. We were called Colored Town. All of my childhood was Colored Town. And when I came back from nursing school, they had changed it to another name. And we've had several different names. And finally, they decided -- we used to be able to walk down to the end of Douglas Road and put our .feet in the water, and then they decided to make that South Grove, and where the City of Miami Page 34 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 developers came and decided to build up all back over Edgewater Drive and around, and so those things changed in Coconut Grove, and then finally, it became West Grove. So, I think the time has now come and I'm here to ask this Commission to vote in favor of having the name changed to Little Bahamas. I want you to know, Corky Dozier wasn't even from the Bahamas. She was an actress who came here to play, first person of color to be able to be in a play at the Coconut Grove Playhouse, and that was way back before colored people could even go there. And I think when we were Colored Town and White Town, and that was in White Town. But anyway, the idea this morning is to have you know how important it is to me because my grandparents, both sex, maternal and paternal, came from the Bahamas. And so 1 am a Bahamian by birth, even though 1 was born in Coconut Grove, 94 years and 7 months ago. So, 1 think all of you know how 1 feel about Coconut Grove. I love the place and it is a place where I think Little Bahamas, you know, we already have Little Cuba and we have Little Havana and Little Haiti and all that. So, having Little Bahamas fits right in. And the Congresswoman is here to speak on that behalf as well. And so, I won't take any more of your time unless somebody want to hear a little bit more about our history. But I want to thank you for coming this morning and I'm hoping and praying that all of you are in favor of having this designation of Little Bahamas for our area. Thank you so much for having us this morning. Chair King: Thank you. Commissioner Reyes: Thank you. Chair King: Thank you for being here. Congresswoman Frederica Wilson: Good morning. Commissioner Russell: Good morning. Commissioner Reyes: Morning. Congresswoman Wilson: To our Commissioners and our Chairwoman King and the Mayor, I am so pleased and excited to be here today. As a Bahamian American, I could not be prouder to speak in support of Little Bahamas resolution brought forth by Commissioner Ken Russell. And we are so grateful to Commissioner Russell for his recognition of the vital importance of this issue and I thank him. As many of you know, the City of Miami was founded by Bahamian settlers in the 19th century with Bahamians representing one-third of the registered signatories on the state -- of the City's incorporation. They were here before anyone else. And I'm going to name some Bahamians -- I'm losing my voice -- for you to let you know who these important settlers are and who the descendants are. Father Gibson, Thelma Gibson, Dr. George Simpson, Dr. Freddie Young, Senator Oscar Braynon, Councilwoman Shannan Ighodaro, Commissioner Dennis Moss, Dr. Dorothy Fields, Aretha Boon (phonetic), Mariel Lundy (phonetic), Yolanda Cash Jackson, Garth Reaves, Enid Pinkney, Commissioner Oliver Gilbert, Senator Shevrin Jones, Eric Knowles, Russ Jollivet, Commissioner Barbara Jordan, Representative Felicia Robinson, Maud Newbold, Commissioner Audrey Edmonson, Dr. Evalina Eastman, Senator Dwight Bullard, Representative Ed Bullard, Clarice Cooper, Bishop Victor T. Curry, Judge Wilkie Ferguson, Elliott Scavella, Father Richard Barry, Attorney Larry Handfield, Father Kenneth Major, Father John Culmer, Leona Cooper, Alexis Snyder, Joyce Postel, and Charles Scott. Today there are more Bahamian Americans in Miami -Dade County than any other subgroup of African American people. And I stand before you, I can 't help reflect on my family's own history during this period. I really can't talk, so I'm just going to ask you. Unidentified Speaker: Need to drink some water? City of Miami Page 35 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 Congresswoman Wilson: 1 don't think that's going to help. Thank you. Throughout South Florida, and particularly in Coconut Grove, Bahamian settlers have played a central role in erecting some of the most treasured landmarks and infusing the area with many historical contributions. Each of these landmarks is shaping our history and traditions. And while Miami has always been a thriving city of immigrants, this proud Bahamian cultural heritage and history has lacked the distinction it deserves until today. With so much Bahamian history and those early stories of the City's settlement in danger of being erased, we must work to preserve and enrich the Bahamian influence historical sites, arts, and culture. Today, we're taking a big step towards ensuring the contributions and accomplishments of the Bahamian people are rightfully memorialized. That's why I'm excited to be here today to voice my enthusiastic support for the Little Bahamas resolution. This, in addition to providing my resounding and emphatic support for this great resolution, I'm also honored to be presenting a $2.2 million earmark check for the construction of a Bahamian Museum of Arts and Culture right in the Little Bahamas community. I want it to become a focal point and a beacon of cultural history flourishing with tourism just as neighborhoods like Little Havana and Little Haiti and Chinatown have gone to preserve and promote the importance of their cultural influence. This funding is just the beginning. I've applied for another earmark of $4 million in federal funding to make sure that this museum is the best it can be now and into the future. And I'm working with the County Commission and the Board of Tourism to get even more money. So, with your support, the time has come to bestow this long overdue recognition to the proposed Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove neighborhood. And lastly, 1 want to take this opportunity to shift gears for a moment and present to you, the City of Miami, another check of over $138 million, of which $687,000 will be going to the creation of the first and only COVID-19 memorial in Florida in the heart of Liberty City on 54th Street. It's going to be dedicated to the lives lost during the pandemic. It will be fabulous. Also included in this check, more than $137 million in American Rescue Plan funds to the City of Miami, which is helping you move forward in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic. These funds includes money for transit, COVID testing, vaccines for all, housing and rental assistance, and so much more. It is my hope that this money that we in Congress and President Biden fought hard for us to bring home to you has kept people in their homes, put vaccines in the arms of our loved ones, kept people working, helped reopen and operate safe schools, prevented small businesses hit hard from the pandemic from going out of business, and helped our community recover after two devastating years of unpredictability and loss. I'm here to tell you that it is because of the hard work of the federal government that made it possible to deliver for working families in South Florida. So, to all the teachers, small business owners, part-time workers, service staff, retirees, healthcare professionals, and families in the City of Miami that have felt the pain of uncertainty during the pandemic, know that we are delivering for you. On behalf of the Congress and President Biden, I present the City of Miami with these checks. Thank you. And please excuse my voice. Chair King: Thank you. Congresswoman Wilson: So, who am I going to present these checks to? Chair King: Thank you, Congresswoman. Do you want us to come down there or you want to come up here? Congresswoman Wilson: Please. Chair King: Come down here? Okay, all right, well come down to you. City of Miami Page 36 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 Mr. Hannon: And Chair, just for the public record, Commissioner Carollo would also like to co-sponsor RE.6. Commissioner Carollo will co-sponsor RE.6, as well as Commissioner King. Understood. (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Chair King: Is there anyone else here who would like to speak on RE.6? Elvis Cruz: Yes. Chair King: Please come forward. Ruban Roberts: She's here. And Ruban Roberts as well. Chair King: Everyone else who would like to speak on RE.6, please come to the podium. Dorothy Jenkins Fields: Good morning. I'm Dr. Dorothy Jenkins Fields, public historian, certified archivist, and historic preservationist. I am the founder and creator of the Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater Cultural Arts Complex. I am pleased to be here today and to speak in support of the designation of Little Bahamas in Coconut Grove. Let me give you just a brief history. The legacy of the West Grove is well documented. The West Grove is one of the oldest and most fascinating neighborhoods in Miami, with amazing historic sites and notable places and plenty of present day culture to offer. This cultural heritage neighborhood has earned the right of official designation as Little Bahamas in Coconut Grove. It showcases the cultural heritage of the Bahamian immigrants who helped build Miami. And after arriving in the early 1880s, Bahamians lived and worked in this area and were the primary labor force throughout Miami and the region for more than 50 years. As the City of Miami's primary workforce for more than 50 years, the early influence of the Bahamians is recognized in the first issue of History Miami's journal Tequesta. Coral Gables developer, George Merrick, recorded his observations in an article titled Pre-Flagler Influences on the Lower Florida East Coast. And he said, black workers, who were mostly Bahamians, brought inspiration to the planters who were skeptical of the rocky, coral, rocky land. And many lives were lost as the Bahamians planted the dynamite needed to create the space to make the streets that we now ride on. Bahamians brought and shared their own trees, vegetables, and fruits, some of which had not been seen in Miami before. The Bahamian skill in masonry building with native coral limestone built the walls and the roads and other uses. This was remarkable. Bahamians used their skills and knowledge in building Miami, the Magic City. And as the -- I say to you now that as the next Miami is developing, descendants of the pioneer Bahamians have saved the past in the present day setting by restoring and preserving the cemeteries in the Mariah Brown House, the Lola B. Walker Homeowners Association's nomination for the McFarlane Homestead Division goes back as far as 1994 when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. And in recent times, the E. W.F. Stirrup House, built in 1897 by E. W.F. Stirrup was restored and transformed into a vacation rental. Numerous heritage markers throughout the area identifi% sites of historical significance. The Ace Theater, for instance, is listed on the National Register and is being restored now and will again provide entertainment and outreach to the entire diverse community. I say to you, the legacy of the West Grove is well documented and I believe this cultural heritage neighborhood has earned the distinction, the official name, Little Bahamas in Coconut Grove. Thank you. Chair King: Good morning. City of Miami Page 37 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 Linda Williams: Good morning, thank you. To Congresswoman Wilson, the elite staff here, Commissioners on board, I'm Linda Williams. My address is 3523 Charles Avenue. I'm temporarily at 3517 Hibiscus Street. I'm here as vice -- first vice chair of homeowners -- Coconut Grove Homeowners and Tenants Association. We have -- hopefully, everyone has received our resolution in support of this designation, Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove. But I would like to, for the record, remind all of us that while Bahamians were here first and worked very hard, and this designation is certainly worthy, long overdue, but there were others that came to our community and served and we cannot forget those because it wasn 't from -- wasn't about where they came from. 1t was merely because of the color of their skin. So, we cannot forget the Georgians, South Carolinians, and others that also came to Miami primarily for work. Again, HOTA (Homeowners and Tenants Association) supports this designation and we do have a few conditions. We know that a museum is not going to be the only attraction to Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove. We'd like to know what the marketing plan is. We'd like to know what the strategy is and who will still be here to benefit from this designation. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Sir? Mr. Roberts: Good morning, Chairwoman -- Chair King: Good morning. Mr. Roberts: -- and Commissioner. My name is Ruban Roberts. 1 am the immediate past president of the Miami -Dade branch of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of RER Consulting. I am in favor of the Item RE.6, designating Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove, and I'll tell you why. I was born in the Bahamas. I've been here most of my life, lived between here and the Bahamas. The contributions that Bahamians have made are numerous. You've heard ,from two folks before me who are definitely pioneers and contributed to all of the -- contributed to some of the things that Bahamians or Bahamian descendants, and that is Ms. Gibson and Dr. Fields. I did a video, hopefully you all will see it, where I interviewed Dr. Gibson -- Ms. Gibson, Dr. Fields, and Dr. Enid Pinkney. And they talked a little bit about the history of the islands. For all of you on this dais, I think we all have some other place of origin or ties to some other nation/land. And we understand the contributions that we've made. But one of the things that this will do, and if -- when you vote in favor of it, it will actually preserve the history of the contributions that Bahamians have made. We understand that development and growth is just a part of life. And so we know that the neighborhood is changing. We know that gentrification is happening. That's just a part of life all over. But we need to have something to memorialize the contributions of the Bahamian people in this country, and especially in Coconut Grove. They came to work in the Grove, the pineapple fields. They mined the coral rock, and helped use the coral rock to build homes. Okay, is that my time? (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Mr. Roberts: Okay, but I just want to say again that I am in support of this item and I hope that you all do your due diligence and vote in favor of this item. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Is there anyone else here for RE.6? Good morning, Elvis. Mr. Cruz: Good morning, Commissioners. Elvis Cruz, 61 Northeast 57th Street. I just want to very briefly thank everyone for being involved in bringing this forward, and I want to thank the longtime resident. I thoroughly enjoyed her recounting her stories of growing up in Coconut Grove and I certainly hope that someone is going to interview that wonderful woman and record and memorialize what it's been like City of Miami Page 38 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 growing up in the Grove and living there for all these many years. That's a really important component of the history and culture of the West Grove. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Is anyone else here to speak on RE.6? Seeing none, public comment for RE. 6 is now closed. May I have a motion? Commissioner Russell: Madam Chair, I'll make the motion and I'd like to make a comment as well. Chair King: Go ahead. Commissioner Russell: Thank you. And thank you everyone for being here and thank you to my fellow commissioners for co -sponsoring and supporting this effort. It's been a long time coining. My father's ashes are spread in the Bahamas. And 1 grew up with him taking me there and teaching me to honor a culture of a very special people. And I did not truly know the history of the Bahamian footprint in Miami until becoming elected. And that story should be better known. It should be taught to everyone who goes through schools here. But I realized once I became the representative for this area, I have a responsibility to honor my father's teachings to me and the community that I serve. The developers of the 1800s needed the people of the West Grove, but not the land. The developers of the 2000s need the land, but not necessarily the people. And that's where we need to put a flag in the ground. And that flag will be Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove. That, plus a cultural museum, could be thought of as a thank you to the past, a remembrance of history, but we believe this flag should be planted as a sign of what's to come in the future, a pride in a community that will be redeveloped for those who made it, for those who live here now, and for those who would like to return. So, our job is not done simply by naming a community and creating a museum. We must create the housing. We must create the housing. And in my last six months here, I will be introducing items to move forward what many of the stakeholders in the community have been working for years to assemble land for affordable housing, find partners for affordable housing, seek entitlements for affordable housing. And I know that there will be the will of this Commission to do it, because it is not driven by me, it is driven by this community. Even this resolution today, I have co -sponsorships, this is not mine. But you'll notice I deferred it so many times, and that wasn't because I didn't have the votes up here, it's because I wanted to make sure it came from the community, and we had to work on a little bit of consensus building. And so I'in very happy to enter into the record not only the letter of Congresswoman Wilson's support, but also Dr. Young of the NAACP's support, the Homeowners and Tenants Association of Coconut Grove Village West Homeowners and Tenants Association's support, as well as the National Black Child Development Institute. The neighborhood recognizes this as a very special day. And I'm very thankful to my Commissioners for bringing this together. But again, more to do and something that we'll be seeking. The Goombay Festival that came back, and I hope all of you got a chance to enjoy it, was but a taste of what can be. Next year we'd like to bring the Goombay Festival back to Grand Avenue on the street where it belongs, a true street festival of culture and food and music. But we'll need your help. We'll need the funding for that from the Mayor's Office, from our office, sponsorships, and hopefully it becomes an event in perpetuity, not being fed hand-to-mouth, year-to- year, but it becomes an annual event. So again, thank you, Commissioners, and I'm happy to move the item. Chair King: Seconded by Commissioner Carollo. All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Chair King: Motion carries unanimously. City of Miami Page 39 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 Applause. Chair King: Congratulations.

Commissioners and Mayor RESULT: DISCUSSED Chair King: At this time, we will take up our discussion items. DI.1, Olympia Theater. Commissioner Russell: Madam Chair. Thank you very much. As you all know, the Olympia Theater is in need of much love, redevelopment, and activation. It 's getting dire. The Manager's been working on this for the last year, working on a plan to bring to us, and is now looking for direction from this Commission. The concept has been compiled by Richard Heisenbottle. There's a very comprehensive plan that he's created. There's a link online that anyone can click and look at, where he's gone soup to nuts to ,find every missing screw, every rusted window, every leak, every piece of mold, which gives a basic costing for what is needed to bring the Olympia up to full speed. The concept that has been proposed -- and this is the question which is for this Commission to decide, if we are to issue an RFP (Request, for Proposals), what should that concept be? The concept right now that is on the table is a boutique hotel with 80 rooms on the front and a theater on the back, all contained under one management system for both redevelopment and activation and management and booking. That way it's all managed under one and all the funds generated there get to stay there and help continue its deferred maintenance. I just want to make sure that all commissioners feel the same about this. And if we do, that we give direction to the Manager to bring back an RFP at the end of this month that he can then release, that over the summer will be advertised and people can come back after the summer and bid on it. Commissioner Reyes: Madam Chair? Chair King: Yes. Commissioner Reyes: I -- I do agree with you that there is a -- I mean, we -- we have to act fast because we have to save the Olympic building, and in particularly, the theater. Now, I am all in favor for, I mean, an RFP, but I -- as one of the conditions in that RFP, we have to include that they must have some experience managing theaters, you see, which is the most important. The most important part of that building is the theater, you see. And so, we need to include and make it clear that all the participants, they have knowledge of how and experience on how to run a theater or a venue, any type of venue, okay? That's my only contribution. Vice Chair Carollo: Madam Chair, this is your district now. Chair King: Yes. Vice Chair Carollo: What say you? Chair King: Well, I am not ready to discuss this item. I need to get some more information on it. I see it here as a discussion item. I'm not ready to take any -- Commissioner Reyes: Action. City of Miami Page 64 Printed on 06/04/2024 City Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2022 Chair King: -- any action on this. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Commissioner Reyes: But we need to move -- Chair King: I agree. Commissioner Reyes: 1 agree and I would like to see the -- all the proposals that you were referring to. Commissioner Russell: The hope today was not to get action but to get the temperature of this dais -- Commissioner Reyes: That's right. Commissioner Russell: -- in terms of the basic parameters of what we would want or not want there. And ideas have been proposed in the past to build above it, for example. And I think there's consensus not to do that. But that's what this discussion was meant for, so that the Manager gets a little direction as he brings something back to us. Commissioner Reyes: Okay. Chair King: Okay, so if that's all, that concludes our agenda for today. Commissioner Reyes: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Chair King: At this time, the City of Miami Commission meeting for July 19th, 2020 [sic] is officially closed. Commissioner Reyes: Thank you, ma'am. Very efficient as always. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you.
