Powell Mayor and Commissioners Proclamation Arbor Day Mayor and Commissioners Proclamation Earth Day Mayor and Commissioners Proclamation Dr. George Augustus Simpson Mayor and Commissioners Proclamation CRESULT: PRESENTED Chair King: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the City of Miami Commission meeting for April 20 -- 24th. The days, my days are all melting into one. April 24th and today is Take Your Kid to Work Day. We have plenty, plenty, plenty kids, and I would like them to join me as we start our recognition portion of our meeting. Come on, kids, as we're going to show them what good government is. Presentations made. 1) Mayor Suarez and Commissioners recognized the children that participated in the "Bring Your Child to Work Day." City of Miami employees brought their children to the City of Miami City Commission meeting for a lesson in government and to learn about their parent's scope of work. 2) Mayor Suarez and Commissioners designated the week of April 21-25, 2025, as National Community Development Week to celebrate the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program. Over the past five years, the City of Miami has received a total of $27,155,997 in CDBG funds and $17, 741,497 in HOME funds which has contributed towards a variety of projects that have directly aided in improving the quality of life of our residents and in our neighborhoods. The City of Miami has worked with nonprofit and neighborhood -based organizations to address neighborhood and human needs in the city. These two valuable programs have made tremendous contributions to the viability of the housing stock, infrastructure, public services, and the economic well- being of our community. Elected Officials paused in their deliberations of governance to recognize the outstanding work being done locally and nationally with CDBG by supporting increased funding for the program in the upcoming Fiscal Year and designate April 21-25, 2025, as National Community Development Week. 3) Mayor Suarez and Commissioners recognized JAaliyah D. Powell, affectionately known as "The Cookie Queen of Liberty City." She is a remarkable 13-year-old student, a Mariner Girl Scout, and a Bronze Award Girl Scout on her way to achieving the prestigious Silver Award. JAaliyah is the visionary founder and CEO of Shine Bright Outdoor Library, an innovative initiative that provides free books to students City of Miami Page 2 Printed on O5/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 from Pre-K through 12th grade. Located near the corner of NW 50th Street & 12th Avenue, her `purple box of wisdom" serves as a beacon of knowledge and literacy for her community. JAaliyah's journey in the Girl Scouts began at the young age of five as a Daisy, and she has continued to excel as a second year Cadette and a proud member of Troop 2500. In 2024, JAaliyah made history by becoming the first African -American Girl Scout in the Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida council to achieve the title of #1 Top Cookie Seller, surpassing an extraordinary milestone of 5,000+ boxes sold; and through months of hard work, determination, and unwavering support from her community, JAaliyah has once again demonstrated the true meaning of a "Girl -Led" movement by achieving her ambitious goal as the 2025 Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida #1 Top Cookie Seller and #1 Hometown Heroes Seller. Elected Officials paused in their deliberation of governance to commend the outstanding dedication, and perseverance of JAaliyah D. Powell 's exceptional leadership, entrepreneurial spirit, and commitment to service while elevating the youth of the City of Miami. 4) Mayor Suarez and Commissioners presented a Proclamation in honor of Arbor Day. Arbor Day, the 1872 brainchild of Nebraskan J. Sterling Morton, is now an international event that envisions the creation of a green society and fosters environment friendly initiatives that ensure livable communities for generations to come. Arbor Day calls attention to the importance of the tree as a renewable energy resource for wood, fuel, as a foil for erosion, a habitat for wildlife, and a natural canopy to moderate the temperature, enhance the vitality of our business areas, and beautify our community. In honor of National Arbor Day, the City of Miami has implemented the Miami Green Commission that encourages neighborhood groups and individuals to plant trees and, in so doing, improve the urban canopy. The City supports the planting of trees by hosting tree giveaways throughout the city in April, distributing 500 trees to residents of the City of Miami. Additionally, the city will hold five ceremonial tree plantings in five City parks on Arbor Day, further promoting its commitment to enhancing green spaces and fostering a healthy urban environment. Elected Officials paused in their deliberations to call attention to the importance of the tree as a renewable resource and to continue to work in partnership with local organizations to encourage the transition to a green society. 5) Mayor Suarez and Commissioners presented a Proclamation in honor of Earth Day, first adopted in 1970 by Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, and is now an international event that aims to protect the natural environment through the collective actions of individuals, organizations, and governments. This year marks the 55th anniversary of Earth Day, and as we celebrate this milestone, we reflect the significant progress made since 1970 such as the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the passage of landmark environmental laws, which marked significant progress towards environmental protection and sustainability in the United States. Earth Day serves as a reminder to demonstrate the support for conserving natural resources, appreciating the beauty of the natural world, acknowledging the impacts of human life on the planet, and fostering environmental stewardship within our communities. The City of Miami, in partnership with local communities and its constituency, recognizes the urgent need to address the escalating climate crisis, including the pressing issues of pollution, waste accumulation, increased frequency and severity of heat waves and storms, and the imminent threat of rising sea levels, all of which can have significant impacts on quality of life, safety, culture, and the economy if not expediently addressed and greenhouse gas emissions do not decrease. In honor of Earth Day, the City of Miami reaffirms its commitment to protecting our environment, promoting sustainability practices, and ensuring a resilient, healthy future for generations to come. Elected Officials paused in their deliberations to proclaim Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025, as "Earth Day" in the City of Miami. 6) Mayor Suarez and Commissioners presented a Proclamation to honor the late Dr. George Augustus Simpson for his commitment and outstanding service to our City of Miami Page 3 Printed on O5/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 ORDER OF THE DAY community. Dr. George Augustus Simpson was born on September 24, 1925, in New York City where he received a Bachelor of Science Degree from City College of New York, a medical degree from Meharry Medical College in Tennessee, and was licensed to practice medicine in 3 states including Florida, where he was the first Board Certified African American general surgeon in the state.

They operated a successful medical practice in Overtown and Liberty City for more than 40 years; and Dr. Simpson was a U.S. Army Veteran of the Surgical Service. He was the medical director of Miami's first community Health Center; The Equal Opportunity Family Health Center now known as Jessie Trice Community Health Center and a founding member of Jackson Memorial's Service Employee International Union (SEIU) the first physician 's union in Dade County; and Dr. Simpson was an original member of the Dade County Community Relations Board and active in the Family Christian Association of America (FCAA), the Coconut Grove Local Development Corporation, The New Horizons Local Development Corporation, the Alliance for Ethical Government, the then Dade County Area Health Education Center, and the Miami Chapter of the NAACP. Elected Officials paused in their deliberations to honor the legacy of Dr. George Augustus Simpson and his contributions to the City of Miami.

" Chair King: And now for discussion, PH.6. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you, Madam Chair. When this came up before us at the last commission meeting, I had asked the Administration to give us an amount that this is going to cost the general fund and to tell me where we were replacing those funds into the general fund. I was given an amount that I stated for the record that seemed awful, awful low. And in fact, when the Administration met with me afterwards, in fact, yesterday, I was correct. So, Mr. Manager, if you could get your representative to come up and explain to us what is the real number that this will be costing the City throughout the lifetime of the new CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency), and where are we going to have the replacing funds that will be leaving the general fund, which means the funds that we use for everyday police, fire, garbage collection, and many other, or city service, how will we replace those funds back in? Because if you take money away, there's only two ways of resolving it. You're going to make cuts, or you 're going to find new money to replace it. Kevin Crowder: Good morning, Kevin Crowder, with Business Flair, the consultant working on the project. Commissioner, to answer your question, the projections that we worked on over a 30 yearperiod show that the full amount of the tax increment that would be generated over that period would be $534, 599, 504. That would be the full -- at a full 95 percent district that would be generated from the city increment. Vice Chair Carollo: That's based on 95 percent, not 100 percent. City of Miami Page 19 Printed on 05/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Mr. Crowder: Yes, sir. Vice Chair Carollo: Why did you use 95 percent? Is that an estimate in case it fluctuates? Mr. Crowder: The way the statute is worded, the amount of increment ranges from 50 percent to 95 percent. So, 95 percent would be the most amount of increment that the CRA could receive. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, so this would be almost $535 million, correct? Mr. Crowder: Correct, over a 30 year period. Vice Chair Carollo: And Mr. Springs [sic], how much did you say to us in the record, the last meeting, that it would generate? Larry Spring: I actually -- Larry Spring, Chief Financial Officer. I read mistakenly the year 2055 number into the record, which was -- Vice Chair Carollo: Well, you -- the whole amount? Mr. Spring: Yeah, it was 40 -- what I read into the record was $40 million -- $40.9 million from the city side. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, so you 're looking at -- Mr. Spring: That was the last year's -- Vice Chair Carollo: -- $41 million versus $535 million. Mr. Spring: Right. Vice Chair Carollo: That's a night and day difference, wouldn't you say? Mr. Spring: Yeah, absolutely. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, so how are we replacing throughout the life of this new CRA that money into the general fund? Where have you identified either cuts or new revenue to replace that money? Mr. Spring: So, as far as our -- the development of this process and exercise that we went through and the recommendation that we've made is that we do not enact a 95 percent CRA to begin, which would cut that number in half. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Mr. Spring: So, that was -- if -- that's the only mitigating recommendation that we've made. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, so now the $535 million will be cut in half. Mr. Spring: Right. Vice Chair Carollo: Am I correct that that would come to approximately $343 million? Mr. Spring: No, that would be $281,368,160. City of Miami Page 20 Printed on O5/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Vice Chair Carollo: What I have here that you guys gave me yesterday was $342, 645, 890, that's the approximate? Mr. Spring: That's the County portion. Vice Chair Carollo: The County portion. Ours then is what? Mr. Spring: Ours is $534, 599, 504 total, or 95 percent and half of that. Vice Chair Carollo: And 95 percent is how much again? Mr. Spring: 534 -- Vice Chair Carollo: Yep. Mr. Spring: -- 599 -- Vice Chair Carollo: Right. Mr. Spring: -- 504. Vice Chair Carollo: That's what we said. Mr. Spring: Right. Vice Chair Carollo: So, what is the 50 percent of that? Mr. Spring: Of that number is $281,368,160. Vice Chair Carollo: 281, go ahead. Mr. Spring: 368. Vice Chair Carollo: 368. Mr. Spring: 160. Vice Chair Carollo: 160. Mr. Spring: Yes, sir. Vice Chair Carollo: So, we're $281 million, even though what you gave me yesterday - Mr. Spring: Right. Vice Chair Carollo: -- shows differently, shows a significant amount more, I think over $61 million more is what I have here. I have total -- Mr. Spring: That's the -- Vice Chair Carollo: -- $342, 645, 890. Mr. Spring: 890 -- that's the County portion. Vice Chair Carollo: And at 50 percent, it says $180 million, 339 -- City of Miami Page 21 Printed on O5/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Mr. Spring: That's the County's portion. Vice Chair Carollo: That's the County's portion. Mr. Spring: That would also be 50 percent of the County's portion. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Then I guess I didn 't have the City's portion that I was given on the 50 percent. Well, I do. I see it now that you have -- it was strange how you put it; you put it under the original one, the $281,368,160. All right, so if you're recommending 50 percent, this doesn't mean that the majority of the Commission would approve it or not. But let's say that it does, instead of the $535 million at the 95 percent. Where are you either making cuts or finding new revenues to supplement the money that's going out from the general fund where we pay police, fire, code, sanitation, et cetera, et cetera? Mr. Spring: So, going back to what I just put on the record, the reason, as the CFO (Chief Financial Officer), I recommended to the commissioner that we do a 50 percent, and I probably should put this on the record for context. There's an existing base right now that we're starting, which will be the base year that will be established as of, if passed today, January 1st or December 31 st of 2025. Do we have -- what's that existing number? Current base. Mr. Crowder: The current base is $2.6 billion. Commissioner Gabela: Larry. Mr. Spring: That's revenue. Mr. Crowder: $18 million revenue. Mr. Spring: Oh, 2. -- so our current base is $2.6 billion taxable. That generates $18 million. We will maintain that base amount on the general fund side going forward. So, that's step one. That's the contextual statement. Vice Chair Carollo: How are you going to maintain it? Mr. Spring: It stays. We don 't get it. Remember, we only get what gets developed above the base year. So, our starting point is the 2.6, so we'll continue to get the base year and the base year -related growth going forward. Commissioner Gabela: Can I -- Mr. Spring: To your point -- but -- if you'll allow me, Commissioner. But to your point, yes, typically in these situations, the increment we would not receive and the only mitigator, because I looked at it also similarly from the perspective that you did, that as we continue to grow as a city, we will have continued growth, obviously in police, fire, solid waste, and everything else. And that's why I made the recommendation to not take the full 95, but I'm recommending that we only take half and that half will allow us to help mitigate our increase in cost. That was -- so that's the only exercise that we've done at this point. Vice Chair Carollo: Larry, let me be very frank with you. The explanation that you've given me is you've gone around and around, even worse than when you said $40 million at the last meeting, when it was $535 million, which is a night and day difference. That doesn 't make sense at all to me, what you 're giving me, but nevertheless, let's go to the point so I can show the difference of what I have proposed before to Mr. Gabela and what he's getting now. City of Miami Page 22 Printed on O5/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Mr. Spring: Okay. Commissioner Gabela: Excuse me. Excuse me. Vice Chair Carollo: I have the floor, sir. Commissioner Gabela: Can I -- Vice Chair Carollo: I have the floor, sir. Commissioner Gabela: No, but -- here we go again. Here we go again. Chair King: Hold on, hold on. Commissioner Gabela: You're going to speak for 20 minutes, and I'd like to say something because I -- Vice Chair Carollo: No, the problem is -- Chair King: You will be able to speak. Vice Chair Carollo: -- this guy can 't debate -- Chair King: You will get your -- Commissioner Gabela: I got it, but is he going to talk for an hour? Vice Chair Carollo: He doesn 't believe in democracy. Commissioner Gabela: I'd like to answer him -- Chair King: Listen. Listen. Commissioner Gabela: -- what he's saying. Chair King: He's -- he's -- Commissioner Gabela: I'd like to put some numbers. Chair King: -- he's asking and answering questions. Commissioner Gabela: I know, and I want to answer him -- Chair King: And -- but let them -- Commissioner Gabela: -- with the numbers, with the numbers. Chair King: Right. Let them finish. He asked the question, let him answer the question, and then -- Commissioner Gabela: I think he answered a lot of questions. Chair King: He's allowed to ask questions. Commissioner Gabela: Of course, but I'm going to -- I'm going to educate him on the numbers that he's talking about. City of Miami Page 23 Printed on 05/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Chair King: Okay. I will allow you to speak when he's finished. Thank you. Thank you. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you, and he will be the last guy that could educate anybody. But Mr. Spring -- Commissioner Gabela: You need to educate yourself Vice Chair Carollo: -- in the -- in the remaining three years that Mr. Gabela has in his term, and then let's say that he gets reelected in the following four years, how much is this going to bring to the Allapattah area? Because the bulk of what's going to be coming is going to be coming much, much in later years when neither he nor anybody here will be in this commission. Mr. Spring: You want to give me a year range? Vice Chair Carollo: Well -- Mr. Spring: So -- we're starting on our run -- Vice Chair Carollo: -- you're going to start next year, right? Mr. Spring: we start 2027. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. '26 in the next fiscal year or `27? Mr. Spring: `27. So, fiscal year `27. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. So, he'll have one year left on his term then. And then give me the additional four years. After `27, give me `28, `29, `30, `31, so we can assume and make believe that he gets reelected and he's got five years. How much money is that bringing? Mr. Spring: So, from 2027 to, we'll call it 2032. Vice Chair Carollo: `31, I believe. Mr. Spring: '31? Vice Chair Carollo: `27, `28, `29, `30, `31. That's five years. Mr. Spring: So, from 2027 to 2020 -- excuse me. Vice Chair Carollo: '21 [sic]. Mr. Spring: 2027 to 2031 -- Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, `31. Mr. Spring: -- and I'll read the years, because I'm estimating right now, I'm rounding up. So, a million, three million, six, ten -- Vice Chair Carollo: You don't have to give me the exact -- Mr. Spring: 15 -- $15 million. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, $15 million beginning in `27 -- City of Miami Page 24 Printed on 05/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Mr. Spring: To `31. Vice Chair Carollo: -- for five years until `31. Mr. Spring: $15 million. Vice Chair Carollo: And the proposal that I had presented for Allapattah that we didn 't have to create a CRA, that by the way, with the law that is going to be passed in the State Legislature, this whole plan is make-believe because this will not go anywhere. The State is going to prevent it from moving forward. But the plan that I had prevented [sic] before that was not creating a CRA, it was not taking money from the general fund that had not been removed already, so in other words, we didn 't have to worry about replacing money, new money that we're taking from the general fund for police, fire, sanitation, et cetera, would have given Allapattah, in maybe six months in bonding out, over $200 million. Is that correct in my figure? Mr. Spring: Approximately, yes. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Mr. Spring: I don 't have the number right in front of me, but yes. Vice Chair Carollo: All right. This is a prime example why I cannot vote for this. If we're going to make an impact in Allapattah, and I think we should, and I will support it, it needs to be a significant impact that it can be made that doesn 't affect our present dollars from the general fund. But to come up with an idea that's going to bring in just a few dollars through five years beginning in 2027, so we're looking at really six and a half years from now, that he won 't even be around when the real money comes in to make an impact, and that we truly cannot show how we're bringing the replacement for that money or where the cuts are coming from, this is the reason that I can 't vote for this. I will vote for something that will make a true impact for the people of Allapattah, and an immediate impact. Chair King: Thank you. Commissioner Gabela: Two things -- Chair King: Mr. -- Commissioner Gabela and then Commissioner Pardo. You want him to --? Commissioner Pardo: It's quick -- Chair King: No, Commissioner Gabela wanted to -- Commissioner Gabela: I'd just like to say something real quick. After all, I am the one hosting this and it is my district. You know, number one, do me a favor, don't vote for it. I don 't want your vote. I don 't need your vote. I don 't need your suggestions. That's number one. Number two, the plan that you had, you just talked and talked and talked, okay? But you never had anything concrete, okay? Number three, right now, when the CRA becomes implemented, .from that day forward, it'll be capped. What we were collecting in property taxes, the City will continue to collect, so nothing has changed there. This will spur development, okay, like it has in your area and like it has in yours, Madam Chair, okay? And that money is where that money is going to come from. The City is not going to be touched, because when -- when that's capped, that the implementation of the Allapattah CRA is done, whatever stays below that level, okay, continues to come into the City like it is now. Am I not correct in that, Larry? City of Miami Page 25 Printed on 05/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Mr. Spring: That is correct. Commissioner Gabela: Okay, so what you are saying is completely off, and the concern you share for my area, boy, it's incredible, you know what I mean? But look, you 're just trying to put a monkey wrench. Let's call the vote up or down, yes or no, and we're done with the subject, please. Chair King: Commissioner Pardo. Commissioner Pardo: I just want to make one clarification, actually for the public. This is not money that's being taken away from the general fund. That's not what's happening in today's dollars. Mr. Spring: It doesn 't exist yet. Commissioner Pardo: Right. It doesn't even exist. But even if it did, in today's dollars, what we're talking about is the increase. So, if you're talking about $10 million in the general fund, a 10 percent increase, you're talking about $1 million -- Mr. Spring: 1 million, correct. Commissioner Pardo: -- that increment, right? Mr. Spring: Correct. Commissioner Pardo: And you 're saying we 're taking half of that increment, $500, 000. Mr. Spring: That's our recommendation. Commissioner Pardo: That's the recommendation. That's what we have before us. What's -- Mr. Spring: No, no, no, that's not here. That'll come in the interlocal that follows this. Commissioner Pardo: In the interlocal agreement. Commissioner Gabela: The agreement with the County. Commissioner Pardo: Thank you. So, my point is that CRAs work with the city administration. Oftentimes we pay for city debt service, or we pay other city Mr. Spring: You can. Commissioner Pardo: Exactly. So, this isn't an us against them. It's not the general fund against Allapattah CRA or any other CRA. They actually work hand in hand very well and this is a great proposal for Allapattah. Absolutely support it and you know. Commissioner Gabela: Call the question. Commissioner Pardo: Let's do it. Vice Chair Carollo: Madam Chair, just 30 seconds. Commissioner Gabela: Call the question. Vice Chair Carollo: 30 seconds. City of Miami Page 26 Printed on 05/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Commissioner Gabela: Call the question. Chair King: Hold on a second. Hold on a second, Commissioner. Commissioner Gabela: Call the question. Chair King: Commissioner, you're out of -- Commissioner Gabela: Sir -- what's the rules here? Chair King: -- you're out of order. Vice Chair Carollo: The -- Commissioner Gabela: Because he's just going to keep doing this all day long and we're going to be here -- Vice Chair Carollo: No, we're not doing it all day long. Commissioner Gabela: Call the question. Chair King: Commissioner, you're out of -- Vice Chair Carollo: Listen, you could be a frog in your neighborhood -- Chair King: Listen, stop it. Commissioner Gabela: No, you're the frog. You're the only frog that's here. Vice Chair Carollo: -- but you're not going to be a frog here. Chair King: Stop it. Stop it. Commissioner Gabela: Call the question. Chair King: Commissioner, you're out of order. He has a question. He's allowed to speak. Todd, I asked you to give all of us training on decorum and procedure and policy. He is allowed to ask a question, Commissioner. Vice Chair Carollo: I'm just going to make a statement, 30 seconds. We all know that every year, the price of everything goes up. We have negotiations with our unions. We have to pay them increases in salaries. We have to pay more for everything each year. That's why any increase in property taxes is from the general fund that we need. If we're going to be taking all that from the future in monies that we receive now then that will have an impact on this city on raises that employees are going to demand, on expenses that this city will have. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Commissioner Gabela: Call the question. Chair King: Do I have a motion? Commissioner Gabela: Motion. Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Chair? City of Miami Page 27 Printed on 05/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Chair King: Second? Commissioner Pardo: Second. Chair King: I'm sorry. Commissioner Pardo: Second. Chair King: I'm sorry. Mr. Hannon: PH.6 needs to be amended pursuant to a substitution amendment dated April22, 2025. Chair King: So, I have a motion and a second, as amended. All in favor? Commissioner Gabela: Hang on. As amended. Did anything change from the last time? George Wysong (City Attorney): All we did was we added the -- Mr. Spring: We added the legal description.

ENACTMENT NUMBER: R-25-0155 MOTION TO: Adopt with Modification(s) RESULT: ADOPTED WITH MODIFICATION(S) MOVER: Damian Pardo, Commissioner SECONDER: Miguel Angel Gabela, Commissioner AYES: King, Gabela, Pardo NAYS: Carollo Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, so now we could vote on the others. Chair King: All right, hold on one second. All right, for the record, I think I've stated multiple times about RE.1, and -- Commissioner Gabela: What -- what -- I'm sorry -- yeah, yeah. Chair King: That's -- Commissioner Gabela: That's -- that we agreed for the 500K last time. Chair King: But that's not what it says, it says 150. Commissioner Gabela: What does it say? Chair King: It hasn 't been changed. Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Chair? So, it's my understanding that RE.1 will be amended pursuant to a substitution number distributed on April 23rd, 2025. I think the City Attorney can probably elaborate what that substitution number entails. George Wysong (City Attorney): There was a substitution, as the City Clerk says, which the resolution would now read: The City Attorney is directed to inform the City Commission whenever legal fees for outside counsel reach $500,000 in any current or new case where outside counsel is retained to represent an elected official due to a conflict of interest. Vice Chair Carollo: Well, this says in any new case that's filed. Mr. Wysong: The substitution adds the language I just read, which was any current or new case. So, current meaning that it's an active case currently pending. City of Miami Page 32 Printed on O5/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Chair King: So, I don 't take issue with cases moving forward. I don 't -- well, I won 't take issue with it if it's just a report. If it's just a report to say, "Hey, this has reached $500, 000, " I don 't have an issue with that. I got a call yesterday, I think all of us have or will get a call regarding litigation with the City that's been ongoing, I think, like seven years. And thousands of legal hours in the case. And I just see how -- I don't know if that case that I was briefed on yesterday is outside council, is it? It is not. Vice Chair Carollo: I believe -- Mr. Wysong: We are -- the City of Miami is handling that. Chair King: Okay. But as a practitioner, I know, you know, cases don 't wrap up in a month. Cases take sometimes years to resolve. And as long as this is merely a report, I don 't have an issue with it. Commissioner Gabela: Well, can I weigh in? Chair King: Yes, please. Commissioner Gabela: Okay, so, you know, we have a practice here that over -- up to $25, 000, okay, you can do something, but over $25, 000, you need City approval. Now, I am supportive of efforts to facilitate the Florida Department of Governmental Efficiencies review as the president wants, you know, and this is -- this is, you know, because here's the difference. When we spend money, for example, that he was against the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency), that's something -- that's -- you 're building there, you're putting an investment. What we're doing in those cases is just throwing money in the trash, okay, for, you know, stupid things that have happened in the past, okay? Okay, and what I'm saying is let's put a cap on, let's, yes, let's ask for permission, okay, if it exceeds a certain amount. I wanted 150. I went along with you guys to get something done because something's better than nothing. Chair King: Okay, so again, let me -- Commissioner Gabela: But if you want to defer it and you want to study this further -- Chair King: We -- I think we should maybe defer it because, again, counsel for litigation that arises out of employees' duties as a City employee, and us, are protected by the Florida Constitution. I am not going to legislate based on personalities, because this doesn 't only affect us. This will affect our persons that come before us. And this is a right that the State has, that the Supreme Court of Florida has upheld. Has upheld. And if it was one of us, if it was you, if you didn 't do anything and somebody was coming after you -- Commissioner Gabela: I understand. Chair King: -- and it went past X amount of money because we have to defend it, I would not pull my support for it. I would -- I just wouldn't. But I'm also thinking about our employees, not just us, but our employees. Commissioner Gabela: I got an idea. I got an idea based on what you said. I'll tell you what, let's protect our employees, okay? This doesn 't apply to them, okay? This applies to us here. Okay, because here's the thing. Look, I understand we can get in trouble, okay? You know, the people don 't agree with us, and we can get in trouble. But, you know, the gentleman over there has a track record, okay, a very bad track record, okay? To the tune of millions and millions of dollars, okay? And I just think it's prudent. On the one hand, he speaks out of both sides of his mouth. He says that he wants to be a fiduciary, you know, holder like we're supposed to. We hold the purse City of Miami Page 33 Printed on O5/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 strings, if you will, to the City of Miami, to the taxpayer. And then on the other hand, you know, he goes out and things happen. Now, I dare say, you know, this is like the kid in school, you know, I got a problem with this one, I got a problem with the other one, I got a problem with this one. Maybe I'm the problem, okay, you know? And again, this happens one time, two times, but to happen concurrently, okay? With the same person on and on and on, okay, I just think it's prudent, okay, to say enough is enough. And look, I repeat, over $25, 000, you guys know that we got to come in front of this commission. Okay. We're talking here half a million dollars, which -- and you're right, in legal fees, $25, 000 is nothing. So, that's why maybe it should be 5, and I wanted 150. I was willing to go along with 5 just to put something there, some kind of a threshold, if you will. But if you guys, I'll leave it there. Chair King: So, again, let me say, and I'm not taking anyone's side here. I'm not taking anyone's side. But we cannot legislate based on personalities. We ignore the facts. We take -- lawsuits that were filed against him have been dismissed just recently. Anyone can file a complaint against you for any reason. We live in a very litigious society. I am not willing to take away or put any -- put any conditions, because at the moment, someone, or folks, don't like him. That's not how we legislate. Commissioner Gabela: Listen, for me, this is not what it is. If you notice, even when I have a problem with him, I second him because if the cause is right, I will do it. Chair King: I understand. Commissioner Gabela: I've also said -- and I've done that plenty of times here with everybody across the board. When I had the problem with you that I favored him over gym equipment. So, I've been transparent here, and I've been equal across the board. However, that needs to be a threshold, because this is government, you know, taxpayer money that we are spending, okay? And all we're saying -- we're not saying no. All we're saying is, if something happens, over $500, 000, we bring it and we, you know, talk about it. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying we're not going to cover it, but you know, we've got to get a hold. Chair King: No, I -- again, I said I support that as long as it's just a report because you cannot -- and you'll find yourself -- we will find ourselves and for our future selves in a lawsuit because you cannot take that right away. The City Attorney is shaking his head. You cannot. You cannot take that right away. Commissioner Pardo: Madam Chair, I think we're kind of talking about transparency and just setting a threshold. It's not about personality or an individual. I think what Commissioner Gabela has proposed is have a threshold where it's simply brought and made public. And it's disclosed and for transparency's sake. Chair King: Again -- Commissioner Pardo: I think $150,000 is a good amount. I've supported it from the beginning, but -- Chair King: $150,000 is not a lot of money when you're talking about legal fees. Again, it is not. You will hit $150,000 before you even go to court. Commissioner Pardo: I realize that, but it's a matter of transparency and disclosure. Chair King: We -- there -- I agree with transparency. Again, let me make my concerns clear. They can come and report every week, but nothing else can be done about that, because this is a right afforded to municipal employees and elected officials that has been upheld by the Florida Supreme Court. Anything short of this just being a report, I City of Miami Page 34 Printed on O5/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 am not in favor of it. I don 't care. They can report every hundred dollars that is spent - Commissioner Pardo: It's just a report. Chair King: -- as long as it is just a report and it is on the record that I would not support any other measure other than the reporting factor. I would not support trying to make one of us pay our own legal fees and et cetera, et cetera. I think -- Commissioner Gabela: All right, I'll reason with you. I'll negotiate with you in this sense. We don 't obviously, doing it this way, we don 't have a -- you know, a third vote - Commissioner Pardo: 500. I think we agree on that. Commissioner Gabela: -- right? No, I'll do this. If it's just a report, and we have no say in -- it's just going to be a report, and let's make it $250, 000, not $500, 000. $250, 000, and we get to know, but we're not going to take action on it. It's just so the public knows where the money is going. I'll do that, you know, in light that I don 't see a -- that we have the votes to do the -- the way I wanted it. Commissioner Pardo: I'll make the motion, $250,000, just a report, disclosure. Commissioner Gabela: I second. Chair King: So, there's a motion and a second. All in favor? Commissioner Pardo: Aye. Commissioner Gabela: Aye. Chair King: Aye. Vice Chair Carollo: Nay. Chair King: Three against one. Motion carries. Mr. Hannon: As amended. Chair King: As amended.

"Public Comments for All Item(s)." Chair King: George, while we wait, would you please read the titles into the remaining first reading ordinance. George Wysong (City Attorney): We have FR.2; 1 was deferred. FR.2 ordinance. 2, please see the record for , first reading The Ordinance was read by title into the public record by the City Attorney. Chair King: I support FR.2 with the exception of removing the 5:00 a.m. noise allowance that goes to 5:00 a.rn. So, I would support this if we can take out the provision of going to 5:00 a.m. I'd like to leave the noise ordinance as it is, but I support the other items in this ordinance. Can we do that? Commissioner Gabela: So, motion. Mr. Wysong: Madam Chair, I think you might be conflating the two items because remember there's the -- there's an exception that has three items. One of them is the extension of the noise to -- from three to five. Chair King: Okay, that's not this one? Mr. Wysong: That's not this one. Chair King: I -- okay. Mr. Wysong: This is that noise district which changes the noise requirements in the Riverside District. Chair King: Oh, I'm in favor of that. Okay. May I have a motion? City of Miami Page 41 Printed on O5/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Commissioner Gabela: Where -- I'm sorry, where are we at? Chair King: FR.2. Commissioner Gabela: FR.2. I motion. Motion. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, if could understand the motion again, Chairwoman. Chair King: So, I don 't have any -- that's for another item that I was talking about. So, this one, I'm okay with it as it is. Vice Chair Carollo: This one goes until what time? Chair King: I don't think it has a -- it's not an until what time. It doesn't -- that's not that ordinance. It's just a regular -- Mr. Wysong: Hold on, I'll read the change. Vice Chair Carollo: The -- the Miami Riverside Specialty District, Chairwoman, is -- Chair King: The Wharf. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, the -- it's where -- the Wharf is -- Chair King: Yes. The Wharf. Vice Chair Carollo: -- in that area. Chair King: Uh-huh. Vice Chair Carollo: I just want to -- and this one goes directly to the Riverside Specialty District only? Chair King: Um-hmm. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. All right. Let me just wait for the answer to have on the record from the city attorney, and we'll vote. Okay, now in -- in that area, to the best of my recollection, there's no residential, it's much farther down the river. Across the river, into District 3, Mr. City Attorney, will there be an impact in the amount of feet that is being placed here? Mr. Wysong: I'm sorry, I missed the question. Vice Chair Carollo: I was saying that, from the best of my recollection, the area that we're looking at is not near residential buildings. They're further down somewhat from this area in District 5. Mr. Wysong: In District -- Vice Chair Carollo: But my question is, across the river into District 3, where Jose Marti Park will basically be. There's a new, very huge building going to the right of Jose Marti Park. How could it affect District 3 from across the river in the feet that we're talking about here? City of Miami Page 42 Printed on 05/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Mr. Wysong: So, as written, the current noise ordinance says that it is unlawful for any person having a business to make any loud, unnecessary, excessive, unusual noise that is directly audible at a distance of 100 feet. Vice Chair Carollo: Right. Mr. Wysong: This ordinance changes it to 1,000 feet from the building structure, vehicle, or premises on which it is produced. So, you extend that hundred feet to a thousand feet which may affect some residential properties across the river. Vice Chair Carollo: It would be I think basically this new building, maybe, I don 't know. Mr. Wysong: Yeah, we -- we could get you I guess a thousand foot radius diagram off that map, because that map runs along the river. And you had asked earlier about the hours. It would change the hours of noise, which would be 11 p.m. on Monday, to 7 a.m. on Tuesday. 11 p.m. on Tuesday -- Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, so -- Mr. Wysong: -- to 7 a.m. on Wednesday. Vice Chair Carollo: It will not go -- stop at 11. It will go from 11 at night to 7 in the morning? Mr. Wysong: Those are pretty standard, yes. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, yeah. Mr. Wysong: The Code says 11 to 7. But then on Thursday, it would go from 5 a.m. on Friday to 9 a.m. on Friday, 5 a.m. on Saturday to 9 a.m. on Saturday, 5 a.m. on Sunday to 9 a.m. on Sunday, and 12: 01 a.m. on Monday. So, it would extend the hours of noise for the weekend basically. Vice Chair Carollo: Well, again, in District 5, I don 't see any impact that it will have. Because we've got the MRC (Miami Riverside Center) or the old -- what's going to be the old MRC on one side, and the new buildings that are going up there are, I think, over a thousand feet. The other way, to the best of my recollection, there's nothing that's within a thousand feet. I would just be concerned with the impact across, but there's only one building, maybe, that it could have an impact. So, Madam Chair, I will go along with this, since you're the sponsor. If in the future there's a major problem when buildings are up, people are living, and the noise is coming across, it's going to be quite a few years from now before people move into those buildings, and I just want to leave it on the record that for whomever the next commissioner of District 3 will be, they would have the option to bring that back for discussion of whether the thousand feet will also be included across the river or not. Chair King: And there will be noise mitigation efforts so it doesn't impact the community. Vice Chair Carollo: Well, that would be very good. Chair King: There will be noise -- we've discussed that. There will be noise mitigation efforts. Vice Chair Carollo: They can 't keep the noise within the area of your district. City of Miami Page 43 Printed on O5/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Chair King: Yes. Vice Chair Carollo: That there are no residential buildings. But obviously somewhere, the music is going to have to be let out. You just can 't make it disappear if it's going to be on the open. So, if they could do that and keep it within the district, I think we'll resolve any future problems. Chair King: Okay. Thank you. May I have a motion? Vice Chair Carollo: Motion. Chair King: Second? Commissioner Pardo: Second. Chair King: All in favor. The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Chair King: Item passes unanimously.

Chair King: I have a motion and a second. All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Chair King: Motion carries unanimously. Congratulations, and I have the family of Commissioner Reyes here. Applause. Manny Reyes: Wow, this is amazing. What a special tribute. You know, as far as West End Park, it's a park that my kids affectionately would call it Abue's Park. That's what they would call their abuelo, Abue. And so it was always identified as Abue's Park in our family, right? When he -- when dad got in from -- or came back from University of Florida, that's the park -- he used to have a softball team in University of Florida called Caribe. And that's where he reorganized Caribe to start playing softball there again. And so, I grew up going with dad to West End Park and, you know, playing there and running around in the fields. And that's where I used to, you know, play basketball, you know, through my formative years. And what a beautiful honor. And the Mayor Emeritus item as well. I mean, that's just -- it's just amazing. On behalf of our family, I'd just like to say that we are overwhelmed with all the love that the city has poured out to us and to him. Dad was a very noble man, a man of service, a man that if you were to ask him, he'd probably be looking down saying I don 't deserve this, you know, I was just doing what I knew was right to do and to serve his people. And so, I'm really, honestly, rare for me. I'm lost, you know, in what else to say except thank you on behalf of our family. Thank you so much. You know, this place will always have a special place in our heart as well. Thank you very much to all of you. City of Miami Page 46 Printed on 05/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Applause. Chair King: I can tell you on behalf of us, it is our honor to do it. It is truly our honor to do it, and he deserved it and more. Thank you. Thank you for sharing him with us. Applause. [Later...] Chair King: Okay, now we are -- the budget is just a report. Commissioner Gabela: No, we're on RE.6. George Wysong (City Attorney): RE.6. Chair King: Oh, 6, RE. 6, I'm sorry. Commissioner Gabela: He wanted to discuss my appointment of the interim director in Bayfront. Chair King: Wait, hold on. George? Mr. Wysong: Madam Chair, there was a request by the family into whether we could convert the ordinance naming the park Manolo Reyes Park as an emergency ordinance, which would dispense with the second reading ordinance and make it effective today. If the City Commission desires to proceed in that fashion, we would amend the legislation to show a finding of emergency, it requires a three fourths vote, we have all four of you here, so if you're willing to do that, we'll convert it from a first Commissioner Gabela: I'm willing to make the motion. Mr. Wysong: -- reading ordinance to an emergency ordinance. Commissioner Gabela: I'm willing to make the motion. Commissioner Pardo: I'll second it. Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Chair? Chair? Chair King: I have a motion and a second. Mr. Hannon: So, the first thing we need to do is we need to reconsider FR.3. Chair King: Okay. May I have a motion to reconsider FR.3? Commissioner Pardo: So moved. Chair King: I have a motion and a second. Commissioner Gabela: Second. Chair King: All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. City of Miami Page 47 Printed on 05/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Chair King: Motion carries unanimously. Mr. Hannon: Now -- so there's going to be two votes that will require a motion, a separate motion for each vote. So, if you'd like to make a motion now for your first vote -- oh, can you read the title into the record again? Mr. Wysong: Yes, I will. FR.3. The Emergency Ordinance was read by title into the public record by the City Attorney. Vice Chair Carollo: Move. Commissioner Pardo: Second. Chair King: I have a motion and a second. All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Chair King: Motion carries unanimously. Mr. Hannon: So then now, we'll read the title again and then we're going to take a second vote. Mr. Wysong: That's right. The Emergency Ordinance was read by title into the public record by the City Attorney. Commissioner Pardo: So moved. Chair King: I have a motion and a second. All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Chair King: Motion carries unanimously. Mr. Hannon: As an emergency ordinance. Chair King: As an emergency ordinance.

City of Miami Page 50 Printed on 05/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 DI.2 17509 Commissioners and Mayor DISCUSSION ITEM A DISCUSSION ITEM FOR A DISCUSSION AND A VOTE TO FACILITATE THE FLORIDA STATE DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENTAL EFFICIENCY (DOGE) TO COME TO THE CITY OF MIAMI AND LOOK FOR GOVERNMENT WASTE AND FRAUD. RESULT: DISCUSSED Chair King: And now back to our discussion items. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you, Chair. If I could go to DI.2. This is a motion to invite the Florida State Department of Efficiency, DOGE (Department of Governmental Efficiency), to come into the City of Miami and assist us in looking for any government waste, fraud, or efficiency. Commissioner Gabela: I don't have a problem with that. Chair King: So, do I have a motion? Vice Chair Carollo: It's a motion. Commissioner Gabela: Second. I don't know how you guys feel. Chair King: So -- well, I don 't see the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) here. Is he here? Okay, I couldn't see him behind the chair, so short. In my briefing, I was told that there are certain conditions that need to be met in order to trigger such a -- Larry Spring (Assistant City Manager/Chief Financial Officer): Well, let me clarify. If I can, through the Chair. Chair King: Go ahead. Mr. Spring: Again, the Governor's Office asked all municipalities to affirm their compliance with his directive. We sent that affirmation on April 8th of this year. What the affirmation required us to do is affirm that we have not had any of the -- we have not had any of the -- we have not met any of the conditions under Statute 218 for financial emergencies since -- from 2018 through today. I just needed to clarify that we sent that affirmation to the Governor's Office. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, but that's -- that's a totally different thing that what was asked and that the City affirmed. This is different, more in tune with what the State would like cities to participate with them in. Mr. Spring: Okay. But I'm just -- I'm just letting you know we did send the confirmation that we did not meet any of those criteria. Vice Chair Carollo: But that's something different. Very different. Mr. Spring: Okay. Chair King: So, I've been advised because -- Commissioner Gabela: So, in other words, we were in good financial health and it did not trigger? City of Miami Page 51 Printed on 05/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Mr. Spring: I'm not going to use the word good financial health. We affirmed what they asked us, which is have we met -- and it came from the DOGE department, have we met any of these criteria, and the answer was no, and we sent that affirmation, so -- and that's, you know, all of the financial -- well, you're very familiar, Commissioner Carollo -- Vice Chair Carollo: Yes. Mr. Spring: -- with all the financial emergency criteria. Vice Chair Carollo: Yes. Chair King: At this time, because there's a motion, I will open the floor for public comment. If anyone would like to speak on behalf of this motion, please step forward. Brenda Betancourt. Good morning. Still good morning. Brenda Betancourt, 1436 Southwest 6th Street. I believe that we should be clear and always open to the public. This would be a good way to make sure that every single dollar that is collected to the city of Miami residents are actually invested in their best interest for their residents. If the City and the way they have been managed for years doesn 't have any issues, I don 't think a problem why they would not have a department of efficiency that can actually prove to the residents of the city of Miami that we are spending our money correctly. We always have questions. And sometimes just the run around of giving you a really different answer of questions is important. And most of you are saying that you want to always be responsible for the money that -- as a city that you manage. So, I hope that you guys really can support DI.2. I think it's very important just for make sure that you guys show to the residents that you are doing the right thing for the money, but at the same time, it's good for us to understand how you actually spend the money. And sometimes people don 't understand the difference. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good afternoon. Katrina Morris: Hi, I'm sorry, I'm just learning about this. Wait, are we -- can you clarify what -- is DOGE asking us, Miami? No. Okay, I just -- I'm concerned -- Vice Chair Carollo: This is State. Ms. Morris: This is State. Vice Chair Carollo: DOGE. Ms. Morris: State DOGE. Vice Chair Carollo: Yes. Ms. Morris: We have a State DOGE. Vice Chair Carollo: They're formulating one major one. Ms. Morris: We have a State DOGE. Okay, I -- it's just -- it concerns me. We need a certain number of employees, and we need a certain number of procedures to function as a government, in my opinion. Vice Chair Carollo: Of course. Every government does. City of Miami Page 52 Printed on 05/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Ms. Morris: Yeah. This is again, move fast and break things. That's what scares me. Is DOGE, Elon is -- I have a computer science degree, I am a systems thinker, I understand his concepts. Again, I worry about applying software mentality to people. That is my only thing, is that when you look at systems, they're very, very important, but so are people and so are -- so just consider the residents, consider the employees, consider the health of our functioning democracy. This is my plea. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. James Torres: Good afternoon, Chairwoman. James Torres, president of Downtown Neighbors Alliance. I think this is an important issue that should be taken up because we do have governmental waste, especially with the Downtown Development Authority. That is something that should be addressed, and if this agency moves forward, it's going to help what we've been asking, the residents. I want to be very clear. We've gone to Commissioner Pardo's office extensively. It's fallen on deaf ears in addressing this issue. You were kind enough to listen to us. I think it's important that this gets implemented, because it's going to help with all the wasteful spending that is happening in the City of Miami. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. I'm going to echo her concerns. I don 't want there to come in and be a swift sweep and whole departments and people are out of work. Efficiency, yes, but just a broad stroke of and whole departments are gone, I don 't think that -- well, not I don't think, I'm not in support of that. I'm not in support of that. I am in support of efficiencies; I'm always in support of looking at our processes. And we should do that just regularly every so many years. When I got elected, staff would say, "Well, this is the way it's been done for the past 20 years." Well, what you did 20 years ago should not still be relevant 20 years later. So, I support efficiencies, I support reviewing our processes, but again, I will not support a broad stroke of getting rid of whole departments. Commissioner Pardo? Vice Chair Carollo: Of course not. Of course not. Commissioner Pardo: Yeah, I just want to remind everyone that we have an Inspector General's Office that's just kicking in and that we do have audits. I believe in forensic audits. I think it goes way above move fast and break things. So, you know, to the extent that we already have a process that's organized, great. If we want to invite further oversight, great. I mean, I'm all in favor of oversight. But like you, Madam Chair, if it's something that's fast and break things, will not support it. Chair King: Commissioner? Vice Chair Carollo: Chairwoman, this is for the State to assist us in .finding, identifying, suggesting possible change for this city. The ultimate decision falls on this commission. So, this is additional sets of eyes so that we can truly live on that word that is thrown so often, transparency. Chair King: At this time, I'm going to officially close public comment period. I have a motion and a second. All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Chair King: Motion carries unanimously.

MOTION TO: Continue RESULT: CONTINUED MOVER: Miguel Angel Gabela, Commissioner SECONDER: Damian Pardo, Commissioner AYES: King, Carollo, Gabela, Pardo Note for the Record: Item PZ.3 was continued to the May 22, 2025, City Commission Meeting. Chair King: And for discussion is PZ.3. George Wysong (City Attorney): PZ.3 is an appeal, so it's a quasi-judicial appeal. Chair King: Okay, so are there anyone here for PZ.3? Is there anyone here for PZ.3? Ines Marrero: Good morning, Madam Chairperson and members of the Commission. I'm Ines Marrero, attorney with offices at 701 Brickell Avenue. My firm is representing the appellant on this matter. The appeal is going to be handled by my colleague, Alan Krischer, who is on his way to commission. So, if this item could be heard after your lunch break, that would be appreciated. That said, you know, I can respond to any comments, but it's an appeal, so we would like the opportunity to present our appeal. Vice Chair Carollo: Ines? Ms. Marrero: Yes, sir. Vice Chair Carollo: I apologize, but I don't think we're going to be coming back from lunch break. I think we're going to finish. Ms. Marrero: He's on his way. Chair King: Yeah, I'm -- then we'd have to defer it, because I think I could wrap this up by lunch. So, we'd have to defer it. Ms. Marrero: It's the pleasure of the commission. He's on his way. Vice Chair Carollo: Commissioner Gabela, do you have a problem with anything here? City of Miami Page 56 Printed on 05/20/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 24, 2025 Commissioner Gabela: No. So, you guys -- to be very brief Commissioner, you guys have denied the appeal, correct? David Snow (Director, Planning): HEP (Historic and Environmental Preservation) has recommended denial of the appeal. Commissioner Gabela: This is your position. I just wanted to make light because you came to my office a while back with the applicant. And then I also met with somebody from the HEP Board and I said, this is when they were still in my area and then became your area, it's actually your area now, and what I was upset about and what I said was to the lady, another lady that used to belong to the HEP Board, if this is an attempt, okay, by you guys to ever stop anything from happening there, I am not supportive. Go back to the drawing board and negotiate. But if I see that there's any attempt, that this is just something to keep the applicant from ever building anything, and keep them in limbo, I am not for that, okay? I just want to put that on the record, because what's in discussion here, and I respect what you guys said. There's a boathouse, that's the shell of the boathouse, which is really, you know, I go by there, it's three walls, okay, and you're calling it historic, right? And the way the -- am I correct in that, David, so far? Mr. Snow: So, correct. As far as the designation of that structure, you know, that was done some years ago. You know, and it is, you know, a signature component of the Spring Garden neighborhood. Commissioner Gabela: So -- so when the -- when her applicant bought the property, okay, that was already designated that? Mr. Snow: That is correct. Commissioner Gabela: Because I was told that the applicant did not know at the time or didn 't -- Ms. Marrero: I want to be just with -- through the Chair, and with absolute appreciation for Commissioner Gabela's, you know, input. This is an appeal and, you know, we have a court reporter here and we want to make our case and establish the record, so it's important that we follow the procedures for handling the appeal before this commission, so that if we need to, you know, follow up and take our appeal to court, that the processes are followed properly. Commissioner Gabela: Madam Chair. Chair King: So, I believe that the item should be deferred because whoever needs to be here is not here. That's not our fault. Our meeting is almost over.
