I stand before you today not just as a resident of this city, but as a witness to a silent collapse unfolding in TOrkiye. 279 peaceful protestors remain imprisoned today. One of them is Mahir PoLat, an elected mayor, now left to die in prison without access to healthcare. His only crime? Believing in democracy. Ekrem ImamogLu, the Mayor of Istanbul —who won 15.5 million votes, more than Erdogan himself —is under political 230 PH. PH attack. This is not justice. This is a regime change in disguise. What's happening in TOrkiye is the ne 4th deliberate dismantling of democratic institutions. There are three potential presidential candidates— st PUBLIC the strongest one is under threat, and free elections may be cancelled entirely. If this transformation miami HEARIN succeeds, NATO's second-largest army will fall under the unchecked power of one man. A man who, 33132 GS in the past, has supported radical groups— And in the future, could align with Russia, China, and Iran. That is not just TOrkiye's problem. It's a threat to the Middle East, to Europe, and to the free world. Authoritarian regimes have always united against democracy throughout history. But so have the voices of the free. We, Turkish -Americans, are in our third week of protests across the U.S. We are raising our voices. We ask you to raise yours. A democratic TOrkiye is not just a hope for its people— It is a guarantee of global stability.

Florida Amend ment Sand y 5910 Mois NE e 6th Court FR. 1 #17300 Amend Code - Chapter 36 - Noise am writing to urge you to vote NO on Agenda Item FR1 17300, which proposes extending the hours permitted for construction noise in the City of Miami. This proposal is completely disrespectful and inconsiderate toward residents who already endure long hours of disruptive construction. Expanding those hours would significantly worsen noise pollution across our neighborhoods, negatively impacting the health, wellbeing, and quality of life of Miamians —especially children, the elderly, shift workers, and those with medical conditions. Noise pollution is not a minor inconvenience —it's a serious public health issue. Studies link chronic exposure to elevated noise with increased stress, disrupted sleep, heart problems, and mental health decline. For a city that claims to prioritize livability and resilience, this proposal sends the wrong message. Our homes are supposed to be our sanctuaries. This change would turn them into round -the -dock construction zones. It prioritizes developer convenience over the needs of the people who live here. Please do the right thing for our communities and vote NO on Agenda Item FR1 17300. Stand with residents —not against us. Preci Mak 1311 FR. FR April08, 2025 Mayor Francis Suarez Commissioner Miguel Angel Gabela Commissioner Damian ous uyan Miller - FIRST Pardo Commissioner Joe Carrillo Commissioner Manolo Reyes Commissioner Christina King RE: a Drive READIN OPPOSITION TO FR.1 AND FR.2 Dear Honorable City Commissioners: We are writing to express G strong opposition to FR.1 and FR.2, scheduled for first reading on April 10, 2025. These proposed ORDIN ordinances would extend construction noise hours and expand noise allowances in certain ANCES entertainment districts, weakening community protections against harmful noise levels. FR.1 and FR.2 are a direct threat to public health. Noise pollution is a well -documented public health crisis. It Leads to chronic stress, sleepless nights, asthma, heart disease, and anxiety —especially for children, elders, pregnant women, and people with existing health conditions. FR.1 and FR. 2 would expand exposure to noise pollution, threatening the health and safety of residents. Residents in Commissioner Pardo and Commissioner King's districts are already being harmed by construction going past midnight. Rather than enforce the current rules, FR.1 would legalize that harm and First Last Street Nam Nam Addre e e ss Agenda Item Public Comment deepen it. We also cannot ignore the impact these extended hours would have on construction workers. Many are already working long, strenuous days in extreme heat. Any policy change that extends workdays must also include real protections to safeguard their health, well-being, and dignity. FR.2 would allow even greater sound disturbances in designated districts, sacrificing peace for the sake of nightlife and commercial convenience. Meanwhile, the proposed cap of $15,000 on penalties ignores the irreversible physical, emotional, and property damage residents may suffer. These changes benefit developers and businesses, not the people who Live here. Over 40 people have already signed the attached petition in opposition. We urge you to vote NO on FR.1 and FR.2. Protect our communities. Prioritize health. Defend our right to breathe, rest, and recover in our homes.

The current hours allowed in the code is more than sufficient for the construction noise that is occurring in the neighborhood due to all of the buildings that are being built — or are planning to be built! The residents in these neighborhoods deserve the hours of peace and quiet that they can get in order to enjoy the space in which they are living. let's not extend those hours and make it more uncomfortable than it already is! DONT TEAR DOWN THE CHURCH: SAY NO TO THE REDEVELOPMENT OF FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH —Stop Trading Mission for Money As a resident of Brickett in the City of Miami, I strongly oppose the proposed demolition of our places of worship, historically designated structures, and precious green space by out -of -control developers. I urge you to: (1) protect our irreplaceable, historical, cultural, and environmental assets; (2) mandate independent assessments of any project that threatens our heritage or harms the environment; and (3) empower the community with a decisive voice in shaping the future of our neighborhoods. Developers are willfully disregarding the consequences of erasing Miami's history, eliminating critical green space, and constructing high -density projects for which infrastructure is already woefully inadequate. We must stand together against irresponsible and poorly conceived development, and put the needs of our community first. The current proposal to demolish a major part of the historically designated First Miami Presbyterian Church and erect an 80-story super structure would bring dire consequences to the Brickett community. It wilt: (1) Erode our history: The church, founded and funded in 1949 by Henry FLagLer, is deeply intertwined with the heritage of Brickett and stands as the Last remaining historic building in the area. This proposed development would endanger not only a sacred sanctuary but also Brickett Park, the Brickett Mausoleum, and ancient Native American burial grounds. (2) Threaten our already endangered natural environment: The project wilt imperil Brickett Park's historic tree canopy and numerous ancient trees. With Less than 10% of BrickeLt's Land being pervious and still able to absorb water runoff, the Loss of vital green space heightens flooding risks and worsens an already critical environmental issue. (3) Overburden our crowded streets: An 80- story high-rise with 640 units would add 900+ cars —overwhelming already inadequate infrastructure, worsening (if that's possible) congestion and pollution in already gridlocked Brickett and Downtown Miami. (4) Setback our children by Losing a Local school.: Eliminating Key Point Christian Academy — a cherished Local institution and necessary resource —threatens the education and development of 200+ students in kindergarten through eighth grade. For 12 years, the Academy has provided a nurturing environment for Learning and also employs 50 dedicated teachers, integral to our community. Where does it stop? Brickett is Miami -Dade County's economic engine, contributing a whopping 70-80% to the county's budget. Yet, the Historic and Environmental Preservation Board set a dangerous precedent by stifling BrickeLt's voice. During the City Commissioner Board Meeting on April 10, I respectfully implore you to reverse this injustice and vote for official representation for residents. Please empower our community with a decisive voice in shaping the future of our neighborhoods, and help us protect our shared history. We must prioritize mission over money.

Kimb Thac 495 PZ. 1 Dear Commissioners: Please place higher consideration on the daily Lives of the residents of Brickett erley huk Bricke #17249 over helping swell the bank accounts of already wealthy developers. The Church and its surrounding LL Ave, HEPB greenspace, where there are beautiful trees and wild Life, is one of the few peaceful tree -Lined #3401 Decisio greenspaces in all of BrickeLL. It is a place enjoyed by hundreds of hardworking families each day. n Children skip, run, and play, people walk their dogs, elderly people reflect, and others sit and Listen Appeal to the birds, and enjoy the quiet and peace this small area offers every single day. Under the cover 609 of these trees, hushed neighborhood conversations can be heard in the evenings and on the Brickett weekends. During the week, people from many of the office towers often take their Lunches to the AV park where they sit under the trees and enjoy a quiet break from phones and stress. There are activities such as Easter egg hunts, tyke League soccer games, and even baby/parent song -time activities that rely on the tree cover for the shade and calm afforded by the park's beautiful old trees. In an era of global warming, tree cover is of utmost importance to help Lower the emissions from heavy Miami traffic. They also dean the air and Lower the temperature significantly. I am aware you are not allowing the entire park to be paved over. However, I do know that a sizeable chunk of it wilt disappear under a paved building access road (which wilt also mean every day several hundred cars wilt drive along the Length of the park, adding to the already great Brickett congestion, noise, and pollution). I am in Little doubt you have received assurances from the developers that they wilt First Last Street Nam Nam Addre e e ss Agenda Item Public Comment plant trees and build a park to compensate for the trees and park space that will be lost to the building of this behemoth tower and its attendant amenities. Yet such a large building will undoubtedly fill more of the entire lot than their drawings show.

Please consider the quality of lives of the hardworking families who live in the area, and who faithfully pay their Miami Dade Taxes. Please ensure they are your top planning priority. Please uphold the quality of life of the residents of Brickell rather than help enrich developers who neither reside, nor have any interest, in the welfare of Brickell or its residents. Please do not be misled by the developers' assurances that they will ensure their mega -million dollar project will enrich the lives of the citizens of Brickell. It will not.
