ENERGY STAR Certified buildings save energy, save money, and help protect the environment. An ENERGY STAR certified building uses 35% less energy and generates 35% fewer emissions. The City's Building Efficiency 305 program (BE305) established through Ordinance 14005, identified City Hall as a building that showed increased energy efficiency. Elected Officials paused in their deliberations of governance to acknowledge that the City has been leading on this initiative and thereby recognize Miami City Hall as ENERGY STAR Certified. 2) Mayor Suarez and Commissioners presented a Proclamation to proudly recognize Mr. Wade L. Sanders. Mr. Sanders was born and raised in Liberty City and rose from humble beginnings, shaped by the work ethic of his father —a City of Miami Beach waste collector, instilling in him the core values of perseverance, humility, and commitment to service. From overcoming the challenges of school desegregation at Miami Edison Senior High to becoming a standout athlete and scholar at North Carolina Central University. Mr. Sanders began his municipal service with a spirit of innovation and excellence, holding leadership roles in the cities of Hollywood, Sunny Isles Beach, and Miami. His creation of hurricane emergency response plans and digitization of waste management systems, including the implementation of Rubicon and Samsara technologies have advanced the City of Miami's efforts in sustainability, safety, and operational efficiency. Mr. Sanders worked as Director of the Department of Solid Waste, where he oversaw essential services impacting more than 67,000 households. His testimony as a cancer survivor has brought hope and inspiration to countless individuals, further exemplifying his strength, courage, and enduring impact. Mr. Sanders' commitment to the City of Miami is unmatched commuting eighty-five miles daily from Boynton Beach to lead his department with discipline and punctuality, setting a powerful example for all employees. He is known for fostering a workplace culture rooted in excellence, and accountability, and continuously mentors those around him to serve with integrity, pride, and purpose. Elected Officials paused in their deliberations of governance to honor and commend the legacy of excellence, integrity, and over 30 years of service of Mr. Wade L. Sanders' lifelong devotion to public service and the transfbrmative contributions to the City of Miami and wished him a happy retirement.

Throughout his career, Mr. Garcia served in multiple critical roles within the Miami Police Department (MPD), including the Uniform Patrol Division, the Crime Suppression Unit, and the Special Investigation Section, where he played key roles within both the Narcotics and Intelligence Units.

City of Miami Page 6 Printed on 05/27/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 8, 2025 PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD OF ALL ITEM(S): 17625 Office of the City Clerk DISCUSSION ITEM PUBLIC COMMENTS SUBMITTED ONLINE BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC FOR THE MAY 8, 2025 CITY COMMISSION MEETING. RESULT: PRESENTED Chair King: At this time, 1 will open the floor for public comment. If there's anyone here who would like to speak on behalf of any item that is before us today, please step forward. Good morning. Please state the item that you are speaking on. Stanley Young: PH 1, 2, 3, and 4. Chaplain Stanley Young, 500 Northwest 2nd Avenue. I am a chaplain here in Miami -Dade County. I walk the streets to engage with the homeless that are in our fair city, and I had to stop everything when I seen the PH (Public Hearing) items that was up for consideration. Seniors are our number one homeless people that I have met that are coining, trying to get into the shelters, they're on the streets with their strollers. So, I'm so glad to see that you actually has a resolution to actually to address our seniors because they have worked and have been a very active part of our community. And we need to do something that will be able to assist them personally with their plight. I thank you and I commend you with that. The Choice vouchers for PH.2, Choice vouchers are very good help, you know, for those that really do need assistance with their rent, with their bills, or what may have you. And lastly, the CGB [sic] grants that you put out to assist organizations, those unsung heroes who don't work directly with the County or the City that act there like myself, who are trying to -- our best to assist homeless people, who assist people, veterans, just people -- you know, homelessness does not discriminate. I have met so many gifted people from all walks of life who now find their self homeless. And they really do need your help. And I thank you for doing your best to try to help and assist them. Thank you, God bless. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Denise Galvez Turros: Good morning. I am speaking on PH.1, not because Tin in opposition to it, but just because I want to call attention to something that it mentions, which is our historic preservation fund. As a former member of the Historic Preservation Board now for eight years, we've been asking Jromany years for our guidelines to be updated there from 2008. They cause a lot of conflict and issues in all of the districts citywide. There's a lot of lack of clarity in the NCD (Neighborhood Conservation District) districts and in the historic preservation guidelines of the city. We have a proposal to redo those guidelines. It's $150,000. I see here that they're allocating $406, 000 from that fund for other purposes, which by the way, I support because I believe in senior housing and affordable housing. But if you guys can please collectively make it a priority to please put funds towards the historic preservation guidelines of the city. I guarantee you it will help all of you in your offices with a lot of the conflicts and issues we have with unsafe structures. It would have helped a lot with the Coconut Grove Playhouse also, which unfortunately is going to be demolished, but it's not too late to do right by our city. Please, I implore you to take a look at that and make it a priority. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. [Later...] Ms. Galvez Turros: Can I --? City of Miami Page 7 Printed on 05/27/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 8, 2025 Commissioner Gabela: Yeah. She said four something. Ms. Galvez Turros: I know that Commissioner Gabela has also encountered issues because there are no guidelines. There's not even a document that they're willing to share with anybody from the public because it's so outdated. And it has major conflicts with Miami 21, so they won 't even share it. So, these poor constituents come to us all the time begging, and they're like way, you know, beyond the path of resolution, and we can't help them, because we're powerless. Chair King: I'm glad -- Ms. Galvez Turros: So, these guidelines would help everybody. Chair King: I'm glad you brought that up, because it is a concern. I hear it a lot in my district. Good morning. Xiani Cox: Good morning. My name is Xiani Cox. I came here to speak on a certain land deal, but it -- but, once again, it has been pushed off the agenda, deferred again, that's four times now. And let's be real, this isn't about needing more time. This is about avoiding public backlash. Every deferral is a desperate -- Chair King: I'm sorry, sir, what item? Mr. Cox: It was supposed to be on PH.5, but this has been deferred four times already, and I think it's quite -- Chair King: Okay, so I'm going to have the city attorney explain to you why deferrals happen and why they happen the day of We can't announce it. Mr. City Attorney, could you chime in? George Wvsong (City Attorney): Yes, Madam Chair. Once the item is on the agenda, it becomes an item of the whole city commission, and therefore, you can't -- one commissioner can't unilaterally, move something off the agenda or something like that, so they would each have to vote. We need a majority vote in order for that item to be deferred. This particular item you're talking about, we're in negotiations with the State, and it's really been the State that's been dragging its feet. So, it's unfortunate. Sometimes these things happen. The deal's not ready, and so it's not intended to wear you down. It's just we have procedures that we have to follow, and we are following those procedures. Mr. Cox: Okay. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Is there anyone else here who would like to speak? Please. Come on. Kim Birkenfeld: I'm almost there. Chair King: No rush. Take your time. Ms. Birkenfeld: Yes, if it may please the commission. My name is Kim Birkenfeld. I live at 2475 Brickell Avenue. I've been a resident of Miami for like 20 years. And I would like -- can you hear me now? I'm okay. So, my name is Kim Birkenfeld. I live at 2475 Brickell Avenue. I've been here for like 20 years, and I'm here to speak on CA.2, if that's okay. It's wonderful. Of course, it should go jbrward. I need to state though that I hope that moving forward there can be someone on the sailing side and someone on the city side, so that if the worst thing happens and a sailor gets run over City of Miami Page 8 Printed on 05/27/2025 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 8, 2025 by a powerboat, there's somebody to follow up. Because I know the Sailing Center especially helps out those who are not from traditional sailing families. And if you are not, if your child gets hurt and you know nothing about sailing, you don't know what's happening. And the sailing world can pretty much keep a lid on things because it 's a sport that has its own rules, and people outside of the community don't know the rules. They don't know that a sailor can't get hit by a powerboat. But that's not all right. So, I just want to protect those who are up and coming in the sailing world, the residents of Miami that don't know about sailing and want to learn to sail. If we could just have someone on the commission, the city and the sailing, to be in charge if something happens, something goes wrong. That's all 1 ask going forward. It's beautiful. I love the Sailing Center, and it should obviously get passed. Chair King: Thank you. Ms. Birkenfeld: Thank you very much. Chair King: Is there anyone else that would like to speak? Seeing none, the public comment period is now closed. MV - MAYORAL VETO(ES) There were no mayoral vetoes associated with legislation that is subject to veto by the Mayor.
