Thank you, Madam Chair. Chair King: Thank you, Mr. City Attorney. Mr. City Clerk, will you please read your statement?

Those individuals who are appearing remotely may be sworn in now or at any time prior to the individual providing testimony for Planning and Zoning items and/or quasi-judicial items. Commissioners, are you comfortable with all the notice provisions set forth in these uniform rules and procedures we have established for this meeting? Chair King: Yes. Mr. Hannon: Chair, may 1 administer the oath for the Planning and Zoning items? Chair King: Please. Mr. Hannon: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. If you will be speaking on any of -- on any of today's Planning and Zoning items, the PZ items, may I please have you stand and raise your right hand? The City Clerk administered the oath required under City Code Section 62-1 to those persons giving testimony on zoning items. Mr. Hannon: Thank you, Chair. Chair King: Thank you. Mr. City Manager, will there be any items from this agenda that will be withdrawn and/or deferred? Arthur Noriega (City Manager): Good morning, Madam Chair, Commissioners, Mr. City Attorney, Mr. City Clerk. At this time, the administration would like to defer and/or withdraw the following items, make sure you have enough ink in your pens, and I'll try to go slow. It's a lot of items. CA.14, to be deferred to April 10th; PH 5, to be withdrawn; RE.9, to be withdrawn; RE.10, to be indefinitely deferred; RE.21, to be deferred to April 10th; RE.23, to be deferred to April 10th; FR.2, to be indefinitely deferred; BC.1, to be withdrawn; BC.7, to be withdrawn; BC.8, to be withdrawn; BC.9, to be withdrawn; BC.14, to be withdrawn; BC.16, to be withdrawn; BC.7 -- BC.19, excuse me, to be withdrawn; DI.2, to be deferred to April I oth, and DI3, to be indefinitely deferred. That concludes the items. Chair King: And I'm now going to ask my colleagues, Commissioner Gabela, are there any items that you would like to have withdrawn or deferred? Commissioner Gabela: No, not at this time. Chair King: Commissioner Pardo? Commissioner Pardo: No, but I'd like to co-sponsor CA.9. Chair King: CA.9, as co-sponsor. At this time, may I have a motion to accept the agenda? Commissioner Gabela: Motion. Commissioner Pardo: Second. Chair King: All in favor? City of Miami Page 5 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Chair King: Motion carries unanimously. The agenda has been set. [Later...] Chair King: Mr. City Attorney, we've heard a few people get up to say about the withdrawals and the deferrals. Can you explain why that happens on the day of? George Wysong (City Attorney): Yeah, let me try. Chair King: And whether we would be able to notU the community in advance of maybe the night before, of withdrawals or deferrals. Mr. Wysong: Right. Thank you, Madam Chair, I can appreciate the frustration, but the issue comes to basically the procedure of the city commission. Once an item is placed on an agenda, it becomes an item for the city commission, not for an individual commissioner, for the manager, for myself. So, only the commission, by a vote, a majority vote, can either defer/remove an item. So, essentially, that's why we have to do the deferrals, the modifications, the substitutions here at city commission because it's the City Commission's item. And the city commission is a majority of the members of the city commission, not an individual commissioner. So, it's unfortunate that that's how it happens, but that's why we do the things we do, and 1 hope that explanation helps a little bit. Thank you, Madam Chair. Commissioner Gabela: Madam Chair? Can I, with your permission? Chair King: Please. Commissioner Gabela: Maybe -- I heard what you said, but maybe we do a day where, for example, on Wednesdays, it will close out on Tuesday for any one of us to defer. This is something that we do by honor, right? On Tuesday, we -- you know, we have until Tuesday deadline. If we're going to defer anything, and then whatever it is, on Wednesday we can, you know, put it out to the public. I don't know, I'm just, you know, I don't know if my colleagues are -- Chair King: But based on what he said, we would have to meet. Commissioner Gabela: No, no, I heard that part. Mr. Wysong: Yeah. Right. Chair King: We would have to meet prior to -- Mr. Wysong: And take a vote. Chair King: -- to take the vote. Commissioner Pardo? Coniniissioner Pardo: And there's no -- yeah, my only question is there's no way with an appropriate disclaimer that we can say these are tentative, potential deferrals, like just like a warning notice so people -- Commissioner Gabela: Yeah, that's what meant. Mr. Wysong: I think sometimes the agenda prints with a may be deferred or may be withdrawn. So -- but a lot of times it's business decisions or real world things that City of Miami Page 6 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 happen that eliminate the time, but yes we could always put, and sometimes you will see that, may be withdrawn or may be deferred, but ultimately the public needs to know that even though it says may be deferred, may be withdrawn, a majority of the commissioners might say, I want to hear it. So, it requires a vote of the majority to remove it. Chair King: I think, for example, today the items that were deferred were deferred as a courtesy to one of our colleagues who is not here. We would not know that until we get here. But I think individually, if we know that we're going to defer an item individually, we could maybe notify our community of that, that this item may be deferred, or 1 intend to defer this item individually so the community will at least be on notice, perhaps. But I understand the issue where we just can't summarily say because we have to meet and we have to approve the withdrawal or the deferral item as a commission, not each of us individually to say, Mr. Manager, I'm going to defer this, so then the manager -- because maybe an item that we -- I want to defer, you guys don't want to defer, and the vote fails. So, it's all about -- it's a procedural thing. Vice Chair Carollo: Chair? Commissioner Pardo: Madam Chair, I would say that we do a call like the day before, usually Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. and if we know that there's a potential deferral/withdrawal, we do let people on the Zoom call know that that may potentially happen. But the same thing, we always tell them, it may not. Like you just said. Chair King: Vice Chair. Vice Chair Carollo: Chair, for 129 years since the city of Miami was founded, we've been doing it this way. And I haven't heard many complaints until recently that the same people that come here to every meeting to talk about something or other are the only ones that I'm hearing complaining. It is, as I think we discussed here, pretty much impossible to assure if an item is going to be deferred or not because we would have to meet in order to accomplish that. So, I don't see any other way but to keep doing it as we have for the City of Miami for 129 years. Chair King: Thank you. PUBLIC COMMENT FOR ALL ITEM(S) 17376 DISCUSSION ITEM Office of the City PUBLIC COMMENTS SUBMITTED ONLINE BY MEMBERS OF THE Clerk PUBLIC FOR THE MARCH 13, 2025 CITY COMMISSION MEETING. RESULT: PRESENTED Chair King: Seeing none, I'm going to open the floor for public comments. Anyone who wishes to speak on any item before us, please come to the podium. Good morning, sir. Jeffrey Dorfman: Good morning, Chairwoman King. I request an interpreter to translate my words into Spanish. City of Miami Page 7 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Chair King: Okay. Your name and address for the -- Mr. Dorfman: My name is Dr. Jeffrey Dorfman. I live at 2020 North Bayshore Drive, Miami. Chair King: I'm not sure how long it will take to get the interpreter here fir you. Mr. Dorfman: She's here. Chair King: Oh, you're here. Mr. Dorfman: She's right there. Chair King: Okay, come on over. Mr. Dorfman: This is for the benefit of the people who may watch this later on YouTube and may not have a translator. Chair King: And this is -- what item are you speaking on? Mr. Dorfman: I am speaking in support of RE.23 and RE.9. Chair King: RE.23 was deferred. RE.9 was withdrawn and RE.23 was deferred until April. Is there another item that you would like to speak on? Mr. Dorfman: I would like to say just congratulations to Commissioner Gabela for his appointment as Chairman of the Bayfront Park. Chair King: Okay. Mr. Dorfman: We support your interest in honest government. Chair King: Okay, thank you. Thank you for participating. Good morning. Elvis Cruz: Need to get set up, Commissioner, maybe you can go to the other podium, please. Chair King: Okay. Good morning. Horacio Stuart Aguirre: Good morning, Chairwoman King, Horacio Stuart Aguirre as Chairman of the Miami River Commission. It's my privilege and pleasure to serve in this post as an appointee of the governor of the State of Florida. Before I do so, I do want to thank you and your other colleagues here on the dais for my very recent appointment to the Bayfront Trust. It's a privilege and a pleasure to continue serving our community and continuing the legacy of this great property and this great park for the downtown and all of the residents of the city of Miami. On behalf of the Miami River Commission, we're supporting strongly the renewal of the contract with Water Management Technologies. This is for a vessel that is the cleanup boat, the red boat that goes up and down the Miami River, and Little River as well, and all of the bayfront properties that abut the city of Miami. This is the only vessel that is doing almost six and a half days of work, almost 20 hours a day. They clean up tons and tons per day of garbage. They also remove all bacteria and germs in the water through an ultraviolet technology and leave the water very, very clean. This is indispensable. It's the only vessel under contract in all of Miami -Dade County to do this. Miami River Commission also strongly supports the Florida Inland Navigation District, .formerly known as FIND, for a grant to improve Jose Marti Park, a very valuable piece of park that serves a great and important community in our downtown City of Miami Page 8 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 nearby area. Miami River Commission also supports the FIND grant to remove a large number of derelict vessels that are sunk or half -sinking on the Miami River, Little River, or in the bay area, and some in Coconut Grove within eyesight of where we're standing. We also support the additional FIND grant for monies for the Marine Patrol and the fire rescue vessels. Chair King: Thank you. Mr. Stuart Aguirre: Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Commissioner Gabela: Madam Chair, if-- through the Chair. Chair King: Yes. Commissioner Gabela: Can I just say something? Horacio, stay right there. I want to put on the record, and I'm speaking now, it has nothing to do with what you're been talking about, but I want to talk about the 22nd Avenue Bridge and the conversations that you and I have had on the bridge closing because I want our residents to know, my residents, District 1, that we are working on this. The County has assured us that they're going to be open in three weeks. I think you've had some conversations regarding that. I just want to put it out there so the residents know that we are working on it, that we are on top of it, and that soon the bridge will be opening up back to traffic because it's causing -- it's wreaking havoc on 27th Avenue, 17th Avenue, 12th Avenue, especially on 12th and 17th where the rescue -- Fire and Rescue go through to get people to the hospital in emergencies. Is there anything -- do you have any updates on that? Mr. Stuart Aguirre: Well, actually I do, Commissioner. The project is going to continue through August, but there is hope from Miami -Dade County. For the record, the City of Miami does not own that bridge. Commissioner Gabela: Yes. Mr. Stuart Aguirre: It's owned by Miami -Dade County. Also, something that few people understand and don't appreciate is that the Miami River is a federally navigable waterway. So hence the bridge openings are actually not determined by me, the Miami River Commission, or by you, or by Miami -Dade County. It's federal law. Those openings are enshrined in national law. They're enforced by the United States Coast Guard in concert with the operator, namely Miami -Dade County, and with consultations with the City of Miami leadership and the Miami River Commission. We would hope that we can create a protocol so that in the future, when there is an emergency situation when one key bridge is blocking traffic, that we can modify the bridge openings so that we don't create the chaos that we're having today on 12th Avenue, 5th Street Bridge, 17th Avenue and 27th Avenue, because right now we do have chaos. Commissioner Gabela: Yeah, and that was my concern, that people, they really don't know what's going on. They know it's closed, they know it's hampering, you know, traffic, you know, it's wreaking havoc, but they don't really know, you know, the crux of the problem. And number one, there's a safety issue. You know, there's corrosion under the bridge, and I think that we would want to lean on the -- we want to be prudent and make sure that no car goes into the river rather than, you know, what we're doing now. But I just want to put on the record you and I have had conversations on trying to prevent boat traffic because of this bridge being -- but per City of Miami Page 9 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 the federal guidelines, we are not able to do that at this moment. Although it would he my -- Mr. Stuart Aguirre: Well, actually, the idea -- the idea -- Chair King: Sir. Gentlemen, I think we're steering a little bit far off the agenda. Mr. Stuart Aguirre: We're getting far away. Commissioner Gabela: Yes, I'm about to -- Chair King: Go ahead. Commissioner Gabela: We're pretty much done. Mr. Stuart Aguirre: I'll report to you whenever you want, Chair. Chair King: No, no, no, no. You can finish your thought, I just -- Mr. Stuart Aguirre: No, what I was going to say is the -- I think that perhaps you and other leaders of the city of Miami ought to join the Miami River Commission and issue a press release and invite the electronic and the printed news media to better inform the public on this. Commissioner Gabela: Thank you, Horacio. Mr. Stuart Aguirre: Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Elvis Cruz: Good morning, Commissioner. Elvis Cruz, 631 Northeast 57th Street here on. item RE.15, which is funding for the Legion Park shoreline project. So here we have the boat ramp at Legion Park, you see that it has a parking lot that had existed since about 1965. And here it is today. It has been sodded over as part of some sort of project. This came as a big surprise to the public because we no longer have a place to park our cars when we launch our boats, which now are going to be restricted to kayaks only. Nevertheless, the public needs a place to park. And here's the plan that is in the agenda today that you're going to be voting funding for. You can see that the parking lot has been converted to open lawn space. I hope this is not an intentional move to suppress the public's usage and enjoyment of a waterfront public park. I hope this is not an example of what is called hostile architecture. So, I also want to point out that the plan calls for a 15-foot-wide bay walk. You can see it there, highlighted in red. Fifteen feet is far too wide. Commissioner King, you were at the meeting when we discussed this, and the public voted for six feet, overwhelmingly. I understand that to change it to six feet there would need to be a code change to Miami 21. That's not hard to do. Please change the code. You do it every meeting. There are 10 separate code changes on today's agenda. It's very, doable. So, please do that. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Alejandro Uribe: Good morning, Madam Chair, Commissioners. Alex Uribe with offices at 2800 Ponce de Leon Boulevard. I'm here to speak in support of RE.16. RE.16 is a -- is a resolution to expand the hours of operation for businesses in Wynwood, for service establishments in Wynwood on certain special dates, including Formula One, Miami Music Week, Art Basel, and generally around events that bring a lot of people to the city of Miami that showcase our city. And this is a very important time for the businesses in Wynwood. This is hugely important to them, to City of Miami Page 10 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 their employees, and just want to speak in support and want to just make sure, or clarify, that there -- 1 believe there's a substitution as to the hours here, and just to make sure that when it gets passed, we pass it with the correct hours. Thank you very, very much for your time. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Rick Madan: Good morning, Madam Chair, Commissioners. Hope you're all doing well. My name is Rick Madan, president of the Biscayne Neighborhoods Association, and 1 reside at 2900 Northeast 7th Avenue. So, just to clarify, RE.9, 10, and 23 have either been withdrawn or deferred? Chair King: Yes. Mr. Madan: So, I understand the need for deferrals and withdrawals. You know, the community makes an effort to come here and share with you feedback, and I'm sure you want feedback. So, I would request if these could be published the day before, it would allow citizens of Miami to decide, hey, okay, I don't have to skip work this morning and go to the meeting because, as commissioners, I would think you would want input from your constituents. I would request that. I guess I can comment on RE.5. It's the funding for protecting the Margaret Pace Park shoreline. So, hopefully, we can get that grant approved because phase one construction is approved and needs to begin. It's long overdue, so hopefully we can get going on phase one construction. Have a wonderful day. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Terrell Fritz: Good morning, Madam Chair. Happy Women's History Month. Mr. Co - Chair, City Commissioners, Mr. Manager, and Mr. City Attorney. My name is Terrell Fritz, 111 East Flagler Street, and executive director of the Flagler District BID (Business Improvement District). We're here to speak in support of SR.2. On behalf of the Board of the Flagler District BID, we appreciate the hard work that the Commission and City staff have put to refining the special events permitting process. We are extremely pleased and thankful that the 10-event cap per organization per year was restored at first reading, addressing our primary concern with the initially proposed four event limit per location. Since the Flagler Specialty District was approved in 2018, the area has seen remarkable growth. Events like weekly Julia and Henry's Flagler Market on Sundays, the DDA's (Downtown Development Authority) holiday lighting and Miami Art Week events last fall have drawn tens of thousands of visitors just in recent months. And as completion of the Flagler Beautification Festival Street construction project is finally near -- I have never said that before. And I want to thank the city manager and the administration for stepping in and really getting that going. So, again, as the Flagler Street construction project is finally nearing completion, we have many more events and activations planned. We urge City Commission to approve this legislation, and we look forward to continuing to work with the City to develop future legislation, including a dedicated framework for community events to support revitalization of Miami's original downtown commercial district. Thank you very much. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Xiani Cox: Good morning. Yes, Xiani Cox at the 2400 Southwest 3rd Avenue. So, if I'm not mistaken, I can't speak regarding Mr. Pardo's term limits, is that correct? Chair King: That item has been deferred, yes. City of Miami Page 11 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Mr. Cox: Okay. 1 just wanted to say that 1 think it's very disrespectful because I think the people come here, the workers, people come, they have work, they come to speak on these issues, and I believe that what the person said behind -- in front of me is that I believe that this should be posted a day or two in advance so people like me don't have to -- don't have to just sit here and they can come and speak regarding this issue. But I think it's just extremely important that we have term limits in the City of Miami, especially non-consecutive term limits. I do believe that there shouldn't be a revolving door regarding -- Chair King: Sir, that item has been deferred. Mr. Cox: Okay. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Jihad Rashid: Good morning, Madam Chair and my commissioner and manager. My name is Jihad S. Rashid. I reside at 3629 Grand Avenue. I'm here to speak in favor, enthusiastically_, on item RE.15. I'm subscribed to the concept of don't curse the dirty glass but put a clean glass next to it. This project, its sponsors are people who are constantly engaged in the community. They're known to the community. They're there, hot and cold, in good times and bad times, and they don't sally forth just to do a self- serving project. 1 think it in itself has merits. Other projects have merits. And they don't expropriate other accomplishments, and they don't exploit the elderly and the legacy residents to do their projects. So -- and I want to commend District 2 for doing a lot of dynamic things, for being in this community for over 30 years with over 45 single family houses on my belt, and the proponent of the Gibson Plaza, I thank you for taking the pace and the batons on. So, keep up the good work. Thank you. Commissioner Pardo: Thank vou. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Nadir Perez: Good morning. Hey, how are you? My name is Nadir Perez. 610 Tamiami Canal Road, Miami, Florida 33144. Here in support of Resolution 25. To be honest, commissioners have a role and a responsibility to represent their community. As time progresses, when you hold office for so long, it gets jaded and misrepresented, and you might represent the wrong interest. So, at this time I'm speaking here because I want to instill in all the commissioners to do the right thing. And I know you have it because you represent this community, and you were voted in with a purpose. Chair King: Sir? Okay. What item were you speaking on? Mr. Perez: RE.25. Unequivocally support that Resolution 25 that you guys vote for it. Chair King: Okay. Thank you. Mr. Perez: Thank you. Chair King: Good morning. Amina McNeil: Good morning, Madam Chair, Commissioners. My name is Amina McNeil. I am the executive director of the Martin Luther King Economic Development Corporation, and I'm here to speak in support of items PH.10 and PH.11. These are our kitchen incubator programs and our Wheels to Work program. And without the continuous support of the City of Miami, neither of these programs would be possible. In terms of our kitchen incubator program, with that program we're able to take small City of Miami Page 12 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 businessowners in District 5 and give them an actual place to base their food -based businesses out of. But one of the great benefits of this program to the community is that they've been able, since the inception, to provide countless meals to seniors, also partner with schools and school -aged children, and also provide disaster relief assistance, whether it's been natural disasters that have hit South Florida or elsewhere in the state. So, if we could get support this year, that would continue on our mission and also help our participants be on the cusp of getting their own brick and mortar. For PH.11, our Wheels to Work program, we have some of our participants here. They were a little nervous about speaking in front of this esteemed board, but we will again ask for support for this year's class. We estimate we will be able to do six participants if we are able to get funding. And with this program, our participants have been able to free up time by not having to rely on our public transportation system. They've been able to seek employment in a bigger area. And also, the freedom of time helps them to do things like seek -- be able to take classes, spend more time with their children. So, both of these programs will be great opportunities to give back to not only District 5, but the greater Miami community. And we thank you in advance for any support we could get. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Reynold Martin: Good morning. I'm Reynold Martin. 1 live at 6201 Southwest 61 Street. I'm here on behalf of Grove Rights and Community Equity, where 1 am the chair. We have conferred, and we'd like to say to you that we support RE.17. We like the idea of increasing affordable housing in our community. And we would encourage you to work closely with some of the churches that have property that would like to use it for this purpose as well. We need housing in our community. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Edward Martos: Good morning, Commissioners. Edward Martos, offices at 2800 Ponce de Leon Boulevard. I'm here on behalf of Waste Connections to give you all a very big thank you and a very big thank you to your staff to Barbie Hernandez, to Wade Sanders on SR.1. The original language of the ordinance was not great and now I think it is great. And I appreciate work -- the time to work with your staff to work out kinks and to come to a substitution item that I think is going to accomplish all of your goals and really work for the city. So, thank you and thank you to your staff I appreciate it. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Grant Stern: Good morning, Commission. Grant Stern, 425 Northeast 22nd Street. I'mhere to comment on RE.5, in ,favor, and hope that gets passed, and in favor of RE.24, notifying the commission when copious amounts of taxpayer funds are spent on counsel defending commissioners, which seems to be a problem in this city, because of people with sniug looks, almost on the verge of laughing about the waste of taxpayer dollars. People who go on nine -minute rants and then complain that they haven't had the time to defend themselves, they're against such things, right? And that's pretty sad. You know, there's been a problem in this city, and it's with public corruption, but also there's a problem with just the management of these meetings, right? Everybody walks up here and complains about the deferrals, right? Why not have a scheduling meeting on Wednesday nights, virtually, so that everybody can weigh in and try to unclog these agendas before 9:30 in the morning when public comment starts to give people the opportunity to speak on these matters? Because these are really important matters. You know, whether the charter is fixed or not, to block a loophole that allows people that have like crime family syndicates to try and run their relatives. It's a big deal. We shouldn't be just deferring this forever. You know, allow these things to be turned into discussion items if they're going to be City of Miami Page 13 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 deferred. Maybe do that. Say, hey, we're going to have discussion items for the deferred items. But deferring regularly -- I mean, I've spoken on RE.10 three different tinges and now it's indefinitely deferred. So, I mean, my final request is just for a discussion item about interlocal agreements and about the way that the special districts of the city are being managed. We're all here for the same reason, because we care about the city. We don't want our tax dollars being wasted by crooks, criminals, and their wives. And we want to know when the right time to show up and talk about these things are. And this commission, I absolutely know, is capable of setting a better mechanism for all of that. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Jose Figueroa: Good morning, Chairwoman. How are you doing? Good morning to all. My name is Jose Figueroa. I'm here to -- Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Sir, can you --? Mr. Figueroa: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Good morning to all. Chair King: Good morning. Mr. Figueroa: My name is Jose Figueroa. I'm representing the Puerto Rican Chamber and also Dynamic CDC (Community Development Corporation). I support the Wheels to Work program. 1 think it's a very good program, and it helps a lot of people. 1 personally know a few people that have gotten these vehicles, and I support it 101 percent. Okay? Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Nicole Desiderio: Good morning. Nicole Desiderio, 900 Biscayne Bay. I know some items were deferred, unfortunately. I'm here anyway, but happy to see you all. RE.5, I do want to support with the funding for Margaret Pace Park. I did attend some of those meetings where they discussed the plan for the park. They did use a professional park planner, and they consulted with the community multiple times to come together with a master plan for that park, so I thought that was really great. But I do want to say that I would say the majority of the residents in that area had a major problem with a two-story office building being built right in the middle of that park. There was a huge uproar about it. By the time of the third meeting, the people had basically given up. I spoke to someone there that was part of the planning team, and they basically told me, "1'm sorry. Our hands are tied. The City is making us do it." So, that's a little unfortunate. Commissioner Gabela. I saw that you withdrew an item, I believe it was RE.9. Sad to see that because I -- I was in support of that, for you. Commissioner Gabela: No, it's going to be substituted with another item. Ms. Desiderio: Oh, okay. Commissioner Gabela: Just to make that clear, RE (Resolution) what? George Wysong (City Attorney): It's RE.24. Commissioner Gabela: Okay. Ms. Desiderio: Was there an RE.9 about the attorneys' fees? I thought that was withdrawn. Mr. Wysong: Yeah, RE.24 is replacing RE.9. City of Miami Page 14 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Ms. Desiderio: Oh, okay. Well, whatever that is, I support your stance on that. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Kendrick Rice: Good morning. My name is Kendrick Rice, and I'm in support of the Wheels to Work program because it helped me a lot with my mom, transporting her from the hospital to the doctor's office and things like that. I just wanted to say I'm in support of the Wheels to Work program. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Maji Ramos: Good morning. Thank you for listening to all of us. And 1 wanted to real1v, really commend you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart for protecting the bay and our spoil islands. I can't tell you how happy that makes me. So, bravo, seriously. I know we're not supposed to clap. I'm sorry. In any case, I'm here for information more than anything, but I am in support of RE.15 Living Shoreline. Awesome. But I'm confused about all of these PZs (Planning and Zoning), 1, 3, and FR.2, and there's 10 separate code changes. I need more information. As you guys know, I'm a realtor environmentalist. 1 do understand the need for growth. Which committees are planning all of this? And 1 know that last month you voted on changing zoning and upzoning to single-family home neighborhoods. How can 1 get more information on that? Chair King: I'm going to have the Manager's Office address that separately. They can -- they can answer all of your inquiries and tell you who you can speak to or what resources you can use to get more information on those. Ms. Ramos: Okay. And I do have just two more things. Chair King: Go ahead. Ms. Ramos: I would like to be considered, and again, this is more information, on BC.14, for joining that council on global competitiveness. I feel like I need a lot of information before I can render opinions on any of these items. And then I also have ideas for smart growth, where we can have maybe LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification or something equivalent or stronger for properties that are over certain square footage, building around trees, building, you know, if they take up green space, making sure they replace the green space in the property, et cetera, et cetera. I have a lot of ideas. Chair King: Okay. Thank you. Ms. Ramos: Thank you. Chair King: Good morning. Tracy Kelley: Good morning, everyone on the dais. My name is Tracy Kelley, and I'm a resident of District 5. My commissioner is Chairwoman Christine King. I'm here to speak on behalf of the Wheels to Work program. I was selected and nominated in 2024 to be a participant and a recipient of a 2024 Toyota Corolla. And I wanted to let the dais know what that meant for me and my family. Yesterday morning my daughter was just certified as a Miami -Dade County corrections officer. We went to her graduation. Commissioner Gabela: Congratulations. City of Miami Page 15 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Ms. Kelley: Because 1 was able to receive this car as a help for me and my family, it has been very trying for me and my family. My daughter was literally in boot camp for about six to eight weeks, and as a grandmother, I had to take over the duties of taking care of my grandkids, making sure that they got to school, making sure that 1 was able to take them to the doctor, making sure I picked them up from school just to give her a chance to go for her dreams. I'm also getting ready to start going to school in the summer session at Miami Dade College for Paralegal Studies. And because of the Wheels to Work program, it has given me the opportunity to do the things that I need to do. I am so honored and I'm so appreciative of chairwoman in my district. I'm here for you guys. Thank you so very much. This is an awesome program. We are going to be doing classes, I believe, soon on financial literacy and stuff like that. So, 1 just wanted to say thank you, and I really appreciate you. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Stanley Young: Good morning. Thank you, Chairwoman, and Commissioners Jro-- and staff, for allowing me to stand before you today. My name is Chaplain Young. I'm Chaplain of Freedom Prison and Jail Ministry. I assist inmates and homeless people that are struggling to get housing. 500 Northwest 2nd Avenue, in the city of Miami. I don't just work in that district; I work in any of the districts that you have called me to set -- to talk with me. But what 1 want to speak on today is RE.11 and PH.11, RE.13. As I look at the agenda, this going around, it has a lot about housing and affordable housing. I am so glad to hear and see that you are moving in this direction. This is the direction that we need to go. Speaking from the ground who walks the street of Mianii, who goes into the shelters and see people who are trying to get into shelters, and those who are in the shelters can't get out of the shelters because there's no affordable housing for them in your districts. And that's all your districts, because I walk all your districts and talk to those who are living in a car, who are living two in their home, two families in a home, who really do need these affordable housing that you are pushing for. So, once again, I want to commend you. You're going in the right direction, because it's so needed, so needed, that we continue to push for really affordable housing in the city of Miami. I thank you. God bless. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Miguel Soliman: Good morning, Madam Chair, morning Commissioners. I just want to express, I'm sorry -- Miguel Soliman, 1436 Southwest 6th Street. I just want to express my support for items CA.2 for a fire -rescue vessel, CA.3 also for a fire -rescue vessel, and CA.4 for our police department equipment that they need. Our first responders are always taking care of us. And I think it's -- we -- when they ask for something, we should take care of them too. Just want to express that. And on a note, just wanted to make a comment about the Carnival in Calle Ocho. The Carnival -- the music in the Carnival. We live -- my wife and I live two blocks away, and we could hear the music in our living room like if we were standing right there. Commissioner Carollo, you do an excellent job with Viernes Pequena Habana and the music, we never hear the music in our home, and everybody has a great time. I'm afraid Calle Ocho has turned into -- I've heard a lot of comments from people saying that it's not a family event anymore. It's just a street party to get drunk, with music as loud as they can possibly have it, with no respect or concern for the elderlies that live right there on 15th and on 22nd Avenue, there's two elderly buildings in that area. And if I was two blocks away and the level of the music in my house, inside my house, was higher than my television, I can only -- I can't even imagine what those four elderlies were going through, and I just wanted to bring that to your attention and see if next year we could control it a little bit better. Thank you very much. Chair King: Thank you. City of Miami Page 16 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Unidentified Speaker: And the trash, too. Did you talk about the trash? Vice Chair Carollo: Can I answer that, Chair? Unidentified Speaker: Did you talk about trash? Chair King: Go ahead. Go ahead. Vice Chair Carollo: Miguel, excuse me, Brenda. I fully agree with what you stated. I heard someone here mention and also the trash. This is not the old Carnival Miami that we remember. Brenda Betancourt: No, it's not. Vice Chair Carollo: The kinds of people that are coining are not the same. The kinds of trash that's being just thrown everywhere, it's unreal. I've received complaints from several of the merchants in the area, they're not happy with it. Even the music that's being played, not only is it as loud and louder, I think, than what you're saying, you're being kind, I think, but the performers that they're bringing are not to quality. The other thing that's happening is you're having many gangbangers, gang members, from many different cities in the country that are coming just for this. And it's not a family -oriented atmosphere like we used to have. It's not a pleasant situation. In fact, I would say look at what they're doing, the Kiwanis, in Coral Gables, and look what they do in Little Havana. Ms. Betancourt: That's right. Vice Chair Carollo: Coral Gables is being given the sirloin; we're getting the bone and a bad bone at that. So, I think that we need to consider what's going on there. And I would encourage you to go out, speak to the merchants, and maybe you could get some kind of petition going from many of the merchants because this is not bringing more business to Little Havana, it's taking away from Little Havana. It's driving the residents, you know, insane between the music, all kinds of people taking over, they're parking everywhere. And just the outright rudeness that's being seen. Thank you. Chair King: Good morning. Ms. Betancourt: Good morning. Brenda Betancourt, 1436 Southwest Street [sic]. Thank you for being here again. I am in support of RE.16, support RE.24, SR.3 and SR, 4, but commenting about the sad part of what Miami see as Little Havana. And I think Commissioner Damian understands because we work on the Gay 8 Festival for a while and we support all those festivals. As a representative for Calle Ocho Chamber of Commerce, we are having a lot of issues. It's not getting better, it's getting worse. The festival that used to be so famous for our children and myself when I was a teenager, to be able to be there and participate for such a great time is not there any longer. And I would take that advice, Commissioner Carollo, in speaking with the owners of the businesses, which I represent many of them, and most of them they are closed during this time. They don't want to participate, and they still get damages from these festivals. They do graffiti, they break into their space, even though the properties have been closed to avoid all these issues. But it's not just about that. I think it's responsibility of every single one of us to make sure that we express this to Kiwanis, that they need to do a better job. The same way they do to Coral Gables, they should do it to the city of Miami. In reference of just trying to keep up with what's going on with the code enforcement, I hope that you guys are working really hard in trying to get the new director. Just think about how many positions available or empty are in that department that now we [sic] overwhelming -- has a lot City of Miami Page 17 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 of things going on, so, please keep in mind. And I hope that the resolution for the low- income housing really pass. We actually need it. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Is there anyone else here who would like to comment for public comment period? Seeing none, the public comment period is now closed.

Note for the Record: For additional minutes referencing Item Number RE.24, please see "Public Comments on allltem(s)." Chair King: And now up for discussion is RE.24. Mr. City Attorney, if you could explain this. George Wysong (City Attorney): So, RE.24 is a District 1 item, and essentially what this resolution would do, it came out of RE.9, which was initially to suspend the payment of legal fees. But RE.24 is to inform the city commission whenever legal fees for outside counsel reach $150,000 in any new case, so any case filed on or before -- I'm sorry, after this date, March 13th. An elected -- so basically, all it is is I would be obligated to inform the city commission in the event that there is an outside council case related to conflict or expertise that exceeds $150,000 in attorney's fees and just merely provide that information to you all as the commissioners. Chair King: And then what happens? Mr. Wysong: And then I've fulfilled my obligation. The only issue I have, as I mentioned in some of the briefings, is -- well, two issues. One, $150,000, believe it or not, in this town, in the city of Miami, and Miami -Dade County generally, the rate of these lawyers, we could reach $150,000 rather quickly as we have in the past. Many of the lawyers that handle these type of complex conflict cases charge in the range of a thousand bucks per hour. We often negotiate those rates down as low as we can in the 500, 600, 700-dollar range, but -- but that's the market, unfortunately. And by the way, that market makes it difficult for me to hire and retain people as well because the private sector pays so lucratively. But -- Commissioner Gabela: But through the Chair, Wysong. Mr. Wysong: Yes. Commissioner Gabela: So, what -- if that mark is not, you know, agreeable, what would be your, you know, the ideal mark -- City of Miami Page 62 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Mr. Wysong: Well, it's -- Commissioner Gabela: -- if we had a mark? Mr. Wysong: Yeah, it's totally to the Commission's discretion. If you find that the information is helpful, like I said, I have no problem with or without this resolution providing you with the information, which I can do now. So, as far as what number would be preferable, I mean, we 're talking big numbers and the members of the public see these numbers and they think that they're incredibly large numbers, but, you know, yeah, I mean, I would shoot at 500, as the manager indicated. I was going to go lower, but we shouldn't have cases that generally hit the $500,000 threshold. Very rare do we get cases that come this high. And I would also just sort of throw out that right now the city of Miami benefits from Chapter 768.28, which provides that for tort lawsuits against the city, there's a cap, there's a statutory cap, $200,000 per event, $300,000 per -- I'm sorry, $200,000 per person, $300,000 per event. The Florida Legislature is looking at increasing that to, in some cases, a million dollars per claim. And that just shows you the realities of how cases in Florida have been trending to be on the high end. So, I'm pretty comfortable with the $500,000 mark. That may be too high for you all, but I think that would be a good, reasonable mark to let you know that a case -- Vice Chair Carollo: Through the Chair, why can't you just speak to commissioners and whatever amount each commissioner would want to be informed of, if they want to be informed, you just inform each commissioner individually on the amount that they want to reach a cap in and they can be informed? Just like we could ask at any time now, but this way, you know that each commissioner would like to be informed in any new cases where it reaches a cap of amount on each commissioner. Mr. Wysong: I agree, and for a period of time, there was a running public records request from an outside entity asking us, you know, how much are we paying for outside counsel. So, we've been providing that information to folks. You have my commitment that I'll provide you whatever numbers you want to receive. I'm anticipating one of your colleagues is going to say, but what happens when George Wvsong's not the city attorney? So, they might want to formalize it but -- Chair King: The city attorney will always be -- we will always be your supervisor, whoever you are. Mr. Wysong: Yeah, that's true. Chair King: I think Commissioner Pardo would like to say something. Commissioner Pardo: Actually, that's -- that's me. I think -- yeah, and Commissioner Gabela as well. I think it's important to have a trigger that just brings our attention to it. You know, and just as a /natter of policy, I think it's a good idea that we have a resolution that brings it before us so that we ensure that we're all advised and that we all can take appropriate action. Chair King: So, I do -- Commissioner Gabela: Can I --? Chair King: Go ahead. Commissioner Gabela: Are you all done? Chair King: I didn 't speak yet. City of Miami Page 63 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Commissioner Gabela: Oh. Chair King: No, but I'm going to let you go ahead. Commissioner Gabela: So, what I was going to counter is, George, that I heard what you had to say in that, you know, in legal bills, that's a very small number. You know what I mean? Like it's like politics, you know, months or years and years or decades, right? I got it. But here's the problem. You know, when we got to approve above $25,000, we got to come in front of this, you know -- you see what I'm saying? And here we're dealing with this. So, you're saying to us that, you know, over $25,000, it's a big deal, you got to come in front of the commission, you know, and now you're saying that, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars, you know what 1 mean? I just think it's a great way to keep the public informed. I also heard what Commissioner Carollo had to say. You know, maybe we can reach a consensus somewhere in the middle. I don't know. But you know, I for one, you know -- I mean, do we know how much, you know, without talking about anybody specifically, how much does our legal, I'm not going to say obligations, but our legal spending of outside counsel as a percentage to our, is it a very low number as compared to --? Mr. Wysong: Are you saying to the city budget or to like? Commissioner Gabela: Yeah, in comparison to the city budget, in comparison to your office, you know, that for example, what's your budget? Your budget is what a year? Mr. Wysong: Hold on. Commissioner Gabela: I mean, ballpark, roughly. Mr. Wysong: It's approximately 9 million. Commissioner Gabela: Nine mil. And that's to cover, I imagine, of all you, the attorneys you have on staff. Mr. Wysong: That's the up to 35 lawyers that I have as well as up to 35 staff, paralegals, legal assistants, office staff, et cetera. And I'm still in need of a -- what I call a super litigator in the range of $250,000. So, if there's any super litigators out there that would like to volunteer to come to the city of Miami and work very hard on very interesting cases, we'll be more than happy to accept you. Commissioner Gabela: So, apart from that, my point is this. So, your budget on a yearly basis is nine mil. And that covers 35 attorneys, I heard you say, and 35 staff is that correct? Mr. Wysong: Approximately, yeah. Commissioner Gabela: Approximately, okay, more or less. And we spent, I know, a lot more than that on legal bills. Mr. Wysong: Well, bear in mind -- Commissioner Gabela: On outside counsel, I'm sorry, on outside counsel. Mr. Wysong: Understood, understood, yeah. Just bear in mind that those cases span many years as well. So, when you look at the aggregate, that may be a five -- I don't know when those cases were filed but we're -- I think we're at least three or four years in. I have Deputy City Attorney Jones who's my deputy of litigation. City of Miami Page 64 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Kevin Jones (Deputy City Attorney): Morning, Madan Chair, members of the Commission. Okay, so it's a difficult sort of question to answer in regard to the evaluation between what we spend on legal fees in-house when we can handle a case, as opposed to where there's a conflict and we have to get counsel outside of our office, right? So, there are many factors that go into it. You really can't just look at the number, because for example, some of the cases you're talking about, the demand, the public demand, nothing that's confidential, was in the $40 million range. I mean, we've had cases here where the other side has asked for $30 million. And so, oftentimes, what's going to dictate the cost of the defense is the complexity of the case. You understand that? Your average trip and fall or something like that is not going to require those kind of resources to defend it. And if there is no conflict in the case, we have cases where people are asking for $50 million or $80 million, we can keep that in-house and you don't -- you don't -- you don't have to deal with the cost of the defense on outside counsel. But in order to really assess whether or not you're spending too much on outside counsel, you've got to look at the case. And if we look historically, the cases where we have been in the seven, right, we've been in the seven figures, like 40 or $50 million or $30 million, those fees have also -- have always been in the millions. So, it's a very difficult comparison to make. I understand what you're looking for. You 're trying to say, hey, we got you guys at nine million and you guys handle all these different cases and that is true, and we handle 90 percent of the cases that come to the city. The only cases, and maybe that's the reason why they've drawn us so much attention, is the only case that really filter up are the ones that we have to get outside counsel and there's a conflict. Now in those cases you're talking about, there are on both sides, 1 think at last count were 18 lawyers, you know, from across multiple law firms. And it wasn't because that that was an overreach by the people we engage, it's they're responding to the tenor and efforts of the plaintiff which you have to do in any litigation, right? If they staff it with six or seven lawyers, plus paralegals or whatever it is, you have to do the same because you're generating that volume of legal work. Commissioner Gabela: So, let me just say this. I realize we're two -two now. I know where you stand. I know where Commissioner Carollo stands, I know where you stand, and I know where I stand. And Mr. -- Commissioner Reyes, with all due respect, is out. So, I think we should defer this and maybe have a future consensus, because I don't think we have the votes, you know, that we wanted for you and I to pass this, right? And so, I ask that, you know, maybe we come back with another set of proposals that somehow gets us to where we're all comfortable with. Chair King: So, if I may, I'm comfortable with the $500, 000 threshold because I do understand with complex litigation, et cetera, et cetera, and I know that attorneys will -- billable hours are something else. I bill and I'm, not -- I'm not a practicing attorney now, maybe I'll take a case here or there. but I bill at $500 an hour and that's low today. That is low. Commissioner Gabela: So, in that case, motion to pass 500K. Chair King: So, wait a minute, I haven't finished. Also, as the only practitioner here, I'm having some difficulty with items that have been placed on the agenda without disclaimers from the City Attorney's Office. And I would like us to consider doing something about that. Where an item is placed on the agenda that clearly flies in the face of the law, I would like the City Attorney's Office to put a disclaimer not just for each of us, but for the community that says, is not legally sufficient, runs afoul of Florida statute, runs afoul of ordinance X, whatever that law is, so that we all know, I know because I'm a practitioner, but it upsets me that the City Attorney's Office puts items on the agenda that are not legally sufficient, are not legal, is in violation of the law, and we have to consider it without having that information. As a practitioner, City of Miami Page 65 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 although 1 am not representing myself as an attorney, but as an elected official here on this dais, I can still be held responsible by the Florida Bar if pass any legislation that is not legal. And that's a problem. And 1 need to -- you know, 1 need you guys to do something about that because there have been items that were proposed that were not legal. And I'm not voting on anything that I know is not legal. And I don't think that the public should not be aware that the items that were presented are not legal, they should know as well. So, I understand, because I asked, it is our responsibility as commissioners to direct the City Attorney's Office. Last commission meeting I said we should not be providing agenda items without giving the required seven-day notice so the legal department can do its due diligence, review it, and give feedback, unless the item is of some urgent matter, like with pocket items. I will not accept a pocket item if it is not time -sensitive or of an urgent matter. And 1 think we should pass some legislation to require the City Attorney's Office to not punt by not writing anything. You know, and that's what he's doing now. If it is not legally sufficient, he just doesn't sign it. And that's not fair. That's not fair to the community, and it's not fair to us. So Mr. Wvsong: So, let me just make one defensive comment, which is we don 't put those items on the agenda. You had indicated that the city attorney places items. We -- Chair King: You don't. 1 know you don't put it on the agenda, but it is your responsibility to review them for legal sufficiency and you can put -- and there's all kind of tricky ways for lawyers to write something. You could say, approved as to form. What does that mean? The grammar is correct? Mr. Wysong: Right, right. Chair King: As to form. Approved as to legal sufficiency, or blank. You know, and you guys, you can state for the record, what are the Florida statute or the Florida Bar rules that say although I am an elected official, as an attorney, if I pass something that I know is legally sufficient, I can be sanctioned by the Florida Bar. Is that true? I know it is, butt just want you to say it. Mr. Wysong: Let me just say, you know, as in law, it depends. I've just -- someone -- Chair King: It's not as depends. There have been lawyers that have gotten in trouble as elected officials for actions that they have taken, and they know weren't correct. Mr. Wvsong: I was just going to comment, recently somebody tried to complain against the mayor and that complaint was dismissed by the Florida Bar but because they recognized the political nature of the complaint. Chair King: Yeah, but that was a silly complaint. That should have never been filed. Mr. Wysong: But you 're right. Chair King: We're not talking about silly complaints. Mr. Wysong: You have a fiduciary duty in -- Vice Chair Carollo: I'm sorry, which, if I may ask, Chair. Mr. City Attorney, what complaint was that? What complaint was that? Mr. Wysong: There was a complaint filed against the mayor relating to the Miami Freedom Park, the $20 million resolution. There was a complaint filed with the Florida Bar, and the Florida Bar just yesterday, yesterday or the day before, dismissed the complaint, saying it was not a substantive complaint. City of Miami Page 66 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Vice Chair Carollo: Oh, that -- that was the complaint by former Commissioner Russell against the mayor. Mr. Wysong: Yes, sir. Vice Chair Carollo: And it got thrown out that quickly? Mr. Wysong: Yes, sir. Vice Chair Carollo: Boy, I've never seen the Florida Bar throw a complaint out that quickly. It must have been a real whopper. Commissioner Pardo: Madam Chair, on RE.24, though, this conversation doesn't apply to that, right? Chair King: Oh, I have not -- what? What are you --? Commissioner Pardo: It's legal. RE.24 is legally sufficient. Chair King: Oh, yes, yes, yes. Commissioner Pardo: Oh, okay. Chair King: No, it doesn't apply to RE.24. No, it doesn't apply to RE.24. But I do not think it's unreasonable for its to let the community know or for the commission as a whole to be notified of outside counsel suits that reach a certain threshold. I don't think that's unreasonable, but what I do think would be unreasonable if, you know, at that point somebody says, okay, we're not going to do anything else, you know. I don't -- I don't think you legally could. Once you start defending a claim, you can't just pull it back. So, I don 't know if you guys -- if you want to go with deferring it or you want to, whatever the will of the body. Commissioner Gabela: I just heard you say -- so what I said was I can count, right? And, Commissioner Reyes is not here. I know where Commissioner Carollo stands. I know where you stand on that one. Vice Chair Carollo: You don't. Commissioner Gabela: Okay, okay, go ahead. Vice Chair Carollo: No, and that's what -- Commissioner Gabela: Maybe you changed your mind. Vice Chair Carollo: We were talking. The City Manager suggested $500,000. The Chair seemed to be in agreement with that. You opened it up to see if we had a consensus. Commissioner Gabela: Yes. Vice Chair Carollo: If it's $500,000, I'll vote along with it. Chair King: So -- Commissioner Gabela: It's a start. City of Miami Page 67 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Chair King: Yes, yes, it is. Commissioner Gabela: 1 mean, 1 think it would be a start. So, we're all -- yes, so a motion to -- Vice Chair Carollo: The only thing I just want to state on the record is the following. The last thing that any of us should want to do, because we have a fiduciary responsibility to the city, is to give a leg up to those that just want to have the city of Miami be a pinata for their pockets. What am I talking about? It is so easy, like I have seen recently, because all these lawsuits that we talk about, they're coming from the sane individuals, just in different forms, so they try to dress it up differently, but they're corning from the sane individuals. For instance, an example of what I'm going to be talking to you now about. Yesterday, the Third District Court of Appeals that is hearing an appeal from some of these individuals that they lost against me truing to throw me out of office at the lower court, just threw out another request to them to hear that appeal that they've let set there for five months in an expedited basis. And when you have individuals that are putting one motion after another for the purpose of forcing attorney's fees to go up and then they lose and they're challenging everything, everything, everything in numerous times. You could get up to that half million dollars pretty quick and if they're doing it with the intentions of purposely trying to see how they could get the city to cave in on the demands that they make, then we're not doing the city a, you know, a service for that. And that's all thatl want to say, that we need to be attentive of that, not to make it easier for individuals to do that to the city. Otherwise, you know, anyone knows that all they got to do is just get an attorney to sue us. They throw enough motions, they force the city to pay fees on frivolous motions that they're filing in court, et cetera. And those fees get up there real quick. And while it's happening to some of us now, tomorrow it could happen to some of you, it could happen to anyone in the future that sits in this dais. Commissioner Gabela: Okay, but I'd just like to comment, and you're correct, and this is the reason why I want to do it, because we have a fiduciary duty to the taxpayer. We have a fiduciary duty to the taxpayer. We must be transparent with the taxpayers so they know where their money's going, and that's why I'm doing it. You know, now, by the same token, we have to be responsible at some times for our actions, you know, and you're right. You know, you might be sued, I might be sued, and you're absolutely right on that. But the whole thing is there's got to be some kind of you know, limit. There's got to be some kind of you know, threshold, you know. Commissioner Pardo: Commissioner, I'm fine deferring it too if you want. There's more discussion to be had. Commissioner Gabela: Yeah. If you guys want to have more discussion, I'd be happy to have more discussions. Vice Chair Carollo: I'm ready to vote on it. Commissioner Gabela: I think 500K, I'm going to go along with it, because something is better than nothing, I think, I would be more inclined to do 250, 300,000. But if this is the will, and this is what we have, have motion to do that on a 500K limit. Commissioner Pardo: I'll second it. Chair King: So -- Vice Chair Carollo: $500,000 -- Chair King: RE.24 -- City of Miami Page 68 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Vice Chair Carollo: -- for all new cases. Chair King: -- as amended. All in favor? Commissioner Gabela: Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no. Not for all new cases. Vice Chair Carollo: That's what it says. Commissioner Gabela: For -- no. For new cases and existing cases. Because the cases that we have might well go into the 500 -- over the 500, 000. Vice Chair Carollo: But what it says here -- Commissioner Gabela: Yeah. Mr. Wysong: The way it was drafted was all new cases. Chair King: All new cases. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah. It's exactly the way it was drafted here. Commissioner Gabela: But, okay, let me just -- if you will permit me. So, my point is, okay, we're now involved in litigation as he, as Commissioner Carollo was talking about. And he's basically talking about the gentleman on 8th Street, that's what he's saying, without saying the name, he said the name before. Anyway, that's what he's referring to. Those cases are still pending now, okay, so I want to see those cases, and it's not targeted at you, it could be that one, it could be another one, but cases that are -- that we -- that are current now and new cases. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, Commissioner. Commissioner Gabela: Yes, sir. Vice Chair Carollo: When you have cases that have been going on since 2018, of course they're going to be over $500,000. When you have cases that they have filed basically the same lawsuit in three different times and who knows that they might try to come back and file it a fourth time before federal courts for the same thing, I mean, it's going to go above that. Now, if what you guys want to do is to show that so much has been spent on defending me or anybody else here on these individuals, you could get the information, you have it all, from the City Attorney's' Once. We don't have to go through this charade. Commissioner Gabela: No, no, but we do. No, we do have to go through the charade because here's why we have to go through the charade. Because number one, it's the taxpayers' money. I wonder if some of us here would take this to the end, if it was our money that's being spent, you know? I would say to you respectfully, tell you what, use some of that PAC (Political Action Committee) money that you have on the 1.7 million that you're keeping for your campaign if you run for mayor, and instead of spending the taxpayer money, spend that money if you're so willing to -- you know, if you believe you got a case and you're going to win against these people, and I don't know one way or the other, then use your money. But to use the taxpayer money and to say, oh, it doesn't matter, because no, no, no, I'm not going for that. I'll go for the $500, 000, but existing cases and new cases. If not, we're not doing anything, with all due respect. City of Miami Page 69 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Vice Chair Carollo: You changed the wording on what you put down originally. And Mr. City Attorney, there is a Florida Supreme Court case that goes right into the issue that he's talking about. And it's clear that these people know, first of all, they were petrified because the first week in June, we go for oral arguments that the appellate federal court has given me, and they know they're going to lose it and the case against me is going to be overturned. On the 21st of this month, approximately 10 individuals that they have sued in the city besides the city of Miami in the same case that they didn't have a right to sue on, because it's the same case, we are supposed to file our last motions before Judge Moreno, and they know that this is all going to be thrown out. It's been thrown out twice before. This is the last one they get. So, they're trying to use every pressure that they can so the city would cave in and there would be a majority here saying let's give them millions of dollars so we can resolve this. And what is trying to be done to me is so that, and not just to me, but the city of Miami, is for attorney's fees to be pulled so then the city is forced to negotiate and give them millions of dollars. Now, you talked about PAC money. Why don 't you show you and Mr. Pardo your PAC monies and your PACs and how much these individuals have put of their money in your PACs, if we want to talk about PACs. Commissioner Pardo: Madam Chair? Commissioner Gabela: Okay, let's talk -- can 1 talk about PACs? Let's talk about PACs. Chair King: Let -- okay, hold on a second. Now, we have crossed into a line where I'm going to have to really be chair and allow each person to speak. One, I'm going to caution that talking about PACs and PAC money has moved away from this item. We have -- we have moved away from this item. And I have an -- I have an issue when discussions turn personal, where we started off good, where this is not personal, this is not about any individual. It is counterproductive for us to sit here going back and forth about stuff that is not city business. And it's not city business to discuss PACs and who has a PAC and how much money is in a PAC and who is doing what with what with whose PAC. Notice that I'm never in that conversation because I don't do that. Now again with these lawsuits if we could take the personalities out of our agenda item. Take personality out and create good legislation for the city of Miami. You know, any one of us could be subject to a lawsuit. Any one of us. While practicing, I was suing the County, just as an example. The County bombarded me with discovery in boxes that no way I could get through. You don't understand this unless you're a lawyer, how the fees pile up, how an attorney will file motion after motion after motion just because they can, just because they're a big firm, just because the city of Miami has what they think are deep pockets. That's not the fault of any one of us. That is the way the legal system works. So, if we can steer our conversations, if we can steer our conversations to the item and not divulge into a personal attack on each other, I'd be glad to talk about this forever. I'm kidding. Commissioner Pardo would like to make a statement. Commissioner Gabela: Before I forget because there's a lot of -- I'm sorry. Commissioner Pardo: Go ahead. Chair King: Commissioner Gabela, with a smile. Commissioner Gabela: Yes, ma'am, with your permission. Through the Chair. So, number one, I am fully aware, I've been a businessperson all my life, and I do business decisions, you know, all my life in my business, my wife and I have. And what you're talking about, I remember quite well, you're right, I remember quite well, when my house was removed from my district, City of Miami was paying for it because there was a gentleman, my opponent, that wanted me out of the area, okay? City of Miami Page 70 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 And I remember that well because 1 had to go to court three times and we won three times against the City of -- even when 1 was a sitting commissioner already, okay? There was a lawsuit still, okay? Lawsuit still on the last appeal which the City of Miami lost. And I don 't know how much you spent on that, but I think it was a pretty substantial amount of money. So, I do know what that means, you know, I've been there. Okay, number two, okay, the reason I mentioned the PAC, and by the way, let me answer to your question. No, I have not received PAC money. I just had a fundraiser on the 5th, I think, and go look at my records and see if I received, and if I have, so what, big deal. You receive money from other people that, you know, if you, me, whatever. 1 mean, nobody here is a saint, okay? Let's go there, okay? But I have not -- just for your information, 1 don't have $1.7 million dollars like you do. You know what 1 mean? 1 have a hundred something, whatever the case may be, you know, but the point I'm trying to make is the fiduciary duty that we have, so let's keep it simple, okay? The fiduciary -- this is never what has happened here in the past, okay, between you, Commissioner Carollo, and the 8th Street Boys, as you call them, hasn 't happened before, you know, with anybody. So, and I understand you, okay, it happens. It might happen to me in the future, but I don't see a lawsuit with him. I don't see a lawsuit with me. I don't see a lawsuit with you. I don't see -- you know, I see you, and I see in the millions of dollars, and because it's the nature of, you know, where we're at and what has happened, you know, I don 't know whether you're right, they're right, and I imagine it's somewhere 50-50 in the middle, you know, but the point is that the bleeding needs to stop. The bleeding needs to stop, okay, and why do I say that? Because when my residents out there in District 1 ask me, hey, Gabela, what about the street? What about this? You know what I mean? What about that? Why are spending millions of dollars on lawsuits? Because they listen to the radio, okay, I got to give them an answer, okay? You know, and we got to act up here, you know, like responsible citizens that we are, that we hold the purse strings to the citizens' money, the taxpayer, and that's why I'm doing this. You know, I don't think 500K does it, but I'll go along with it. However, existing with me, it's existing cases and of future cases. That's what I'm voting on. If you guys want to, you know, join me, let me know and if you don't, I'll just defer to another moment. And that's it, I'm done. Vice Chair Carollo: That's not what the resolution that was before us was. Chair King: Commissioner, hold on, hold on. Commissioner Gabela: I don't know what the res -- I didn't write the resolution, Carollo. Chair King: Hold on. Commissioner Pardo would like to speak. Commissioner Pardo: Yeah, I completely agree with your point of view, Commissioner Gabela, in the sense, and I wanted to add, this is about notification. This isn 't the denial of a payment. So, why not? I mean, it's good practice because if it triggers, let's say, using $500,000, there's more eyes on it, and it takes us to another place, which is maybe a potential settlement, as opposed to continuing the clock on that cost running. So, it's a different way of thinking, and it's one that from a fiduciary aspect represents the residents better. So, I'm in favor of exactly what you 're proposing. Chair King: So, I think the trigger here was that your resolution, although you said you didn't write it, it reads -- Commissioner Gabela: No, I mean the legal team wrote it. City of Miami Page 71 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 RE.25 17336 Commissioners and Mayor Chair King: Okay, but the resolution reads new cases, and you wanted it to include all cases. Commissioner Gabela: No, I'm not going along with that. Chair King: But you wanted it to include all cases. Commissioner Gabela: Yes. Chair King: 1 think that was the trigger -- Commissioner Gabela: Yes. Yes, it is, yes. Chair King: -- which was no fault of any of us here. And you were unaware of your resolution saying new cases so maybe it can be deferred, and we go back and fix that and now that you know what his intent was, go back and fix that and then we could move on. Commissioner Gabela: Okay, motion to defer. Chair King: So, 1 have a motion to defer. Commissioner Pardo: Second. Chair King: All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): And is that to the April 10th or April 24th meeting? Chair King: April 24th. Mr. Hannon: Understood. Chair King: Just because we have a lot going on on April 10th. No other reason. Commissioner Gabela: No problem.

The Ordinance was read by title into the public record by the City Attorney. Chair King: Thank you. Gentlemen, are there any -- any of these items that you would like to pull for discussion? Vice Chair Carollo: SR.3 for clarification. And I'll make a motion for the remaining SR (Second Reading) items. City of Miami Page 74 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Chair King: Do I have a motion? Do 1 have a second? Commissioner Pardo: Second. Chair King: I have a motion and a second. Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Chair, my apologies. Chair King: 1 know. SR.1 as amended. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah. Chair King: 1 made note, Todd. Who can give us clarity on the waiver for special occasions? Vice Chair Carollo: And let me, if I can, Chair. Chair King: Go ahead. Vice Chair Carollo: One of my D items for discussion had to do with what I'm going to address in this item. I'm concerned of the noise coming from city property on issues that we're dealing with in this SR.3. You had in the past a lot of noise coming from the Watson Island area. You had noise coming from Bayside. You've had noise corning from the Marine Stadium that has affected residents from time to time. And I want to make sure that this is not going to be a ,free-for-all where individuals are going to have the right to have parties until late hours of the night, that music is going to be blasting, and particularly when you're near the water that travels much further than you normally would when you're in land. And then in the area closer to downtown, in Bayside, you 're really, close up to a lot of buildings. And of course, in Watson Island, we have had problems there for many years, off and on. Chair King: Mr. City Attorney? Mr. Wysong: I believe I can attempt to clarify. In -- there's two sections in Chapter 36 of the City Code that relate to noise; 36-4, operation of radios, phonographs, or other sound making devices, bands, orchestra, and musicians; and 36-5, same hours of operation for jukeboxes, radios, et cetera. In 36-4, there's a provision that says, basically the noise requirements apply. All of the above and foregoing shall not apply to city -sponsored activities and events held in or upon any city -owned facility or city property, period. When you look at 36-5, that language reads a little bit differently, which says, all of the above and foregoing shall not apply to city -sponsored events and events held in or upon any city -owned facility or city -owned property. This exemption shall not apply to any tenant of a city -owned facility or city -owned property. So, the extra protection was added in 36-5, which says the exemption shall not apply to any tenant of a city -owned facility or other city -owned property. And many of you have probably received complaints of city -owned property where there's a tenant on there and the response has been, it's city -owned, there's nothing we can do about it. 36 -- this amendment adds that extra language that says, this exemption shall not apply to any tenant of a city -owned facility or city -owned property. So, even though the city owns it, but we're renting it out, then the code will apply to them. So, it actually makes it a little bit more restrictive and better. Vice Chair Corolla: Basically -- yeah, if could (UNINTELLIGIBLE) -- basically, the law that we had changed a couple of years back will stay, it's not going to be affected City of Miami Page 75 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Mr. Wysong: Yes. Vice Chair Carollo: -- by people that lease. This is only going to affect those that are going to rent the space -- Mr. Wysong: From the City, yeah. Vice Chair Carollo: -- for X amount of time? Mr. Wysong: Yes, sir. Vice Chair Carollo: And then how will that work? Mr. Wysong: So basically, if, say, there's a tenant of -- well, managing expectations, because I think know where you're going, it's city -owned property, so we don't lien our own property, right? But we will be able to cite them with a noise violation if they are a tenant of our property and take whatever actions we can take to eliminate the noise. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, if they're a tenant, but I'm saying if they're not. Mr. Wysong: If they're not a tenant, then -- Vice Chair Carollo: They're someone that we lease the land to for, you know, a weekend, let's say. Mr. Wysong: If they're not the City of Miami, all the noise regulations apply to them. Vice Chair Carollo: I'm not saying City of Miami. I'm saying still property that belongs to the City of Miami -- Mr. Wysong: Right. Vice Chair Carollo: -- but we've agreed to lease the property for a weekend or a week or whatever amount of time. Mr. Wysong: Right. Yeah, so if the city owns it outright, the noise ordinance doesn't apply. If the city owns it and we lease it to somebody, they're a tenant of ours, then the noise ordinance applies. But I guess if it's on a T -- that would be part of the temporary event permit. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah that's what I'm talking about. Mr. Wysong: That would be the way to enforce it. Vice Chair Carollo: The city owns the property outright and it's not leased on a permanent basis, but we lease it for a weekend, does it apply or not? And if it doesn't apply, how do we deal with it to protect residents? Mr. Wysong: Right, so that's a -- that's an excellent question because they wouldn't be a tenant necessarily. So, the way we would resolve that is a special events department section unit, would put in the temporary event permit, you must abide by the noise regulations in Chapter 36. It will lead to a revocation of your permit, that sort of thing. So, that's how we would approach it. Vice Chair Carollo: Will it come before the commission? City of Miami Page 76 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Mr. Wysong: Typically, TEPs (Temporary Events Permits) do not go in front of the commission. Joel Gonzalez (Senior Advisor to the City Manager): Good afternoon, Madam Chair, Commissioners. The purpose behind this waiver is to ensure that anybody that is renting -- because you brought up a great point. If the property is ours, Watson Island, still our property, it's being subleased to a third party, but then it is -- they are then renting it out to somebody else. As part of SR.2, which is the creation of the new code, we are limiting their ability, to do anything on city property, any outdoor music festival or noise -generating events, concerts, music festivals, till 11:00 p.m. Now, if the commission, if they wish to extend beyond that, because the way that the Code 36- 4 is written right now, there is no means for the commission to grant a noise waiver on public property. The only written means that you guys -- that the commission can currently grant that is on private property, which is your -- actually' you're doing it right now for the four weekends, which is fine, it's great. So, now we are by code limiting those events to 11:00 p.m. And if they want to go past 11:00 p.m. on those specific properties, they got to come to the commission, and you can approve it. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, that was -- Mr. Gonzalez: You can make those decisions. Vice Chair Carollo: That was going to be my, hopefully the last question that 1 need to make, that it will come to the commission where residents that might be affected would be able to address the commission on it and it will be up to the commission to approve any extension of hours. Mr. Gonzalez: That's correct. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, I'm fine. I'll make the motion on it. Mr. Gonzalez: Thank you. Chair King: Okay, so we need a motion now to accept SR.1, 2, 3, and 4 with SR.1 as amended. I have a motion. Commissioner Pardo: Second. Chair King: Second. All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Chair King: Motion carries unanimously.

END OF BOARDS AND COMMITTEES City of Miami Page 103 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 DI - DISCUSSION ITEMS DI.1 DISCUSSION ITEM 17109 A DISCUSSION REGARDING THE ANNUAL REPORT OF City Manager's BOARDS/COMMITTEES. Office RESULT: DISCUSSED Chair King: And at this time, I5n going to ask Mr. Barrera to come forward, and if there are any other persons for board reports. You're going to give us the UDRB (Urban Development Review Board) report? Agustin Barrera: Good morning, Agustin Barrera, with address at 5030 Southwest 65th Avenue. Madam Chairman, Commissioners, Mr. Manager, I have the pleasure of serving as the Vice Chair of the UDRB Board. The Board is made up of nine professionals, architects, urban planners, and landscape architects. It's been a very busy year. As you can see when you look over Downtown Miami, you see all the cranes that are up and putting new buildings. The Board last year had 11 meetings and 1 workshop. We had the pleasure -- we reviewed 46 projects. The majority of those projects were multi -family residential rental projects with a small portion of those being condos, a couple of office buildings. The UDRB has a -- serves a very important role in the community. It ensures that the projects that are recommended to the Commission for approval not only meet the design intent of Miami 21, but also the urban scale of the neighborhoods that they're being placed. And today with the Live Local Act, that's even more important because we have to ensure in making our recommendations that we try to make sure that the scale of the projects that are being proposed, again, don't -- work within the scale of the city of Miami. Working with staff and in our workshops, we've become very efficient. There's no backlog. We approve projects. We recommend moving them forward to ensure that there are no delays in construction and projects in the city of Miami. The City has -- the City staff has done a great job in updating the process, maintaining the UDRB website up to date, and improving the checklist so that all professionals, all applicants, can make sure that they commit the applications in a timely process and the board is run very efficiently, the average cost or indirect cost for 20-year -- fiscal year '23- '24 was $30, 000, and I'm open for any questions or comments you may have. Commissioner Pardo: Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Commissioner Pardo: Thank you very much for your work. Chair King: I don't see any questions. Thank you. Thank you for the report. Mr. Barrera: All right. Thankyou very much. Chair King: Have a good day. Is there anyone else here who has a report, a board report? [Later...] City of Miami Page 104 Printed on 05/06/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2025 Chair King: Okay, Mr. -- we have one person here who would like to give a report on a board, Mr. Bill Rammos, the chair of the Housing and Commercial Loan Committee. Welcome. Bill Rammos: Good morning. Thank you, Ms. Chairwoman, City Commissioners, and city staff I'm here this morning as part of the process. I'm the chairman of the City of Miami Housing and Commercial Loan Committee. I have for a few years. We meet in these chambers about every six weeks to take a look at grant funding and approve them and just kind of -- and we have a great -- a great committee. One of the committee members is David Snow. He helps us from the city with the city planning and zoning. So, for fiscal year 23-24, we've granted 1,585 affordable units through the city, that's $69 million. Sounds like a lot, $69 million and 1,584, but we know it's - - the need is so big that we're trying to get as much done as we can. One of the things that, as chairman, that we look at these numbers, 1,584, is that how many -- I don't have a metric really to look at the city on an annual basis to see how many units are actually being built that are affordable. Everything in the city talks about, you know, the many, many buildings that are going up, most of them are not affordable. So, I would suggest to the committee that somehow we would be able to get that measuring metric. Because for example in Edgewater, buildings are knocked down for -- pretty frequently with affordable units, and they're knocked down to put up large buildings which are not affordable. So, we're losing let's say 50 units at one point and then we gain a few hundred more but they're not affordable. So, 1'd make that recommendation. And then of course, 1 know that the city is trying to remove as many barriers as possible to make some of the small developers, the small landowners able to build. Because what we get a lot of is 150-unit, 100-unit buildings. There's many, many small lots, Little Havana, et cetera, that they could build 8 units, 6 units, 10 units, and it would be beautiful infill for the city. So anyway, I'm proud to say that I think the committee really contributes a lot to the city, all the committee members, and we're proud of doing it. This year it's with 1,584 units. If you have any questions, I'm happy to take them. Otherwise, have a good day and thank you very much. Chair King: Thank you. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you. Mr. Rammos: All right. Chair King: Is there anyone else here who has a report that would like to make a report? Okay. [Later...] Chair King: I didn't realize that I had to do this report, but I am the chair of the AHAC committee, the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, so I need to make a report. Let me give you just a quick report. We met and we are -- the 2025 annual report is as follows that the committee passed, which is basically that we are following the incentives and were approved and recommended by the advisory committee which are: expedited permitting, reduction setback requirements, impact fee deferral, allowance of'flexibility in densities and intensities, i.e. FAR (Floor Area Ratio), and review of legislation, policy, and plans that impact affordable housing. And we're working very hard to make sure that affordable housing is, as it states, affordable housing in the city of Miami. Thank you. Now, Commissioner? Commissioner Gabela: No, I was going to read D4 [sic] and D5 [sic]. Chair King: You 're going to pull?
