PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR ALL ITEM(S) 18658 DISCUSSION ITEM Office of the City PUBLIC COMMENTS SUBMITTED ONLINE BY MEMBERS OF THE Clerk PUBLIC FOR THE DECEMBER 11, 2025, CITY COMMISSION MEETING. RESULT: PRESENTED 1 Chair King: At this time, I'm going to open the floor for public comment. I understand -- hold on a second, hold on a second. I understand we have some elected officials in the office -- in the office, in the chambers, and we're going to allow them, as a professional courtesy, to speak first. I believe the first speaker will be our Coral Gables Mayor, Vince Lago. Vice Chair Carollo: Chair? Chair King: Yes? Vice Chair Carollo: If may, and I apologize that this is coming at this time, I will be bringing in a pocket item reference property for the Fire Department to be able to have it for a fire station in Little Havana. Chair King: When it's presented, we will open that up for public comment as well. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you. Chair King: Mayor? Vince Lago: Good morning. I hope everyone's well. Happy holidays. My name is Vince Lago, and I have the privilege of being the mayor of Coral Gables. I want to thank the chair, the vice chair, esteemed members of the commission. Congratulations, city manager, city attorney, city clerk. Thank you for allowing me to be here today and speaking on behalf of something that is incredibly important. This is the third time that I have the privilege in 16 years to speak before the Commission of the City of Miami. The first item that I spoke about in 2017 was in regards to limiting, or eliminating completely, hourly motels around the 8th Street corridor. The second time was at the request of Commissioner Rosado in regards to the Miami Loop, and today I'm here to discuss RE.9. RE.9 is the Housing Underserved Groups City of Miami Page 9 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Safely, HUGS Program, which again deals with the hourly motels on 8th Street. I was a sponsor of a piece of legislation that was adopted across Miami -Dade County and across the state of Florida, which eliminates hourly motels in our community. I have had the privilege to go alongside through drive alongs, with our police chief and assistant police chief of the city of Miami -- Mr. Perez. What I have witnessed in those 12, a little over a dozen, overnight raids will keep you up at night, and as a father of two young girls, I've witnessed sex trafficking, I've witnessed prostitution, I've witnessed drug dealing, I've witnessed things that do not belong in my city and do not belong in your city. The sad case is that when I voiced my opinion on this matter, I was immediately targeted by those owners of those motels to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign contributions, which eventually targeted my reputation, not only in the City of Coral Gables, but throughout Miami -Dade County. Thank God we were able to vanquish those issues. And many of those owners live in my city while they conduct business in the City of Miami. So why is it important that we support Commissioner Rosado's move here? It's important because allocating these funds in the budget to purchase these motels will transform our community, will be a safety net, and it's not only about the City of Miami, it's about the City of Coral Gables. So, I want to thank you and ask the members of the commission to please support, if I may, just one last thing, Madam Chair. Chair King: You know the people are pointing at me right now. Your two minutes are up. Mr. Lago: All right. Chair King: They are looking at me, waving at me. Thank you. Mr. Lago: Thank you very much. Chair King: And our next speaker will be Madam Commissioner Orbis, one of our newly -elected Miami -Dade County commissioners. Natalie Orbis: Good morning, Madam Chair, Commissioners. Natalie Milian Orbis, Miami -Dade County Commissioner for District 6. It's a pleasure to be with you this morning. I'd like to, first of all, start off by congratulating Mayor Francis as he leaves the City, and highlighting the incredible work and legacy that he leaves here, and I wish him all the best to him and his family, and I thank him for his years of public service. I'm here today regarding Item RE.9, sponsored by Commissioner Rosado, because any effort to improve public safety and address the longstanding concerns in Miami neighborhoods is extremely important to me and the families that I represent. I'm proud to have the Flagami and Grapeland Heights communities within my district, and I know how much our residents care about the stability and the well- being of the areas that they call home. I want to recognize Commissioner Rosado for bringing this forward and bringing this conversation and for his steady attention to neighborhoods and the quality of life of all of our residents. I also want to acknowledge Commissioner Gabela, whose district includes communities that overlap with me, and both of you have shown a real commitment to uplifting our residents and strengthening the fabric of our shared neighborhoods. As the City continues its work, I look forward to collaborating with all of you and with our residents. My focus is always to be a force for good wherever cooperation can support cleaner, safer, and stronger communities for the people that we all serve. So, I thank you for this opportunity to speak and wish you very happy holidays. Thank you so much. City of Miami Page 10 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Stanley Young: Before we start, can I ask a question, Chairwoman? When would be the next swearing in? No one knows, okay. Chair King: The -- they have to -- the electeds have to determine. I'm not sure when the mayor -elect is going to have her swearing in, but I'm sure everyone will know, and I'm not sure when the new commissioner is going to have his swearing in, but we'll all be notified. The clerk is -- Mr. Young: Okay, thank you. Chair King: -- nodding his head. Mr. Young: My name is Chaplain Stanley Young of Freedom Prison and Jail Ministry. I have been serving in Miami since -- for the last three years, to help walking the streets of Miami, helping those who don't have a voice in this wonderful hall. What I first want to share with you -- 500 Northwest 2nd Avenue is where I preside. I don't receive a dime. I don't receive a paycheck from this organization, nor do I really looking to get one. I wanted to make that perfectly clear. Everything we get goes to helping and assisting these inmates that are coming out of our prisons and jails right here in Miami -Dade County. The ones that -- I'm speaking on PH.1, for the CBOs (Community Based Organizations) that are out there who are needing your support, needing your help, just needing for you just to answer their phone calls when they call. Also, just love Lotus House, that are helping those women getting their lives straight. I've been over there, I've seen it, I met the people, I met the staff I think they're doing a great job. And those are some of the organizations that I have been in contact with. But helping those like you have been doing, you've been doing a, I think, a great job, but we need to do more to helping those who don't or who do not come down here to this facility to let their requests be made known to you. I'm here to let you know, I invite you to come to be a part of where I do and what I do. Just reach out to me, and I thank you very much. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Henrietta Schwarz: Good morning. My name is Henrietta Schwarz, and I live at 2627 South Bayshore Drive. I'm a native of South Florida. I say this because I have witnessed over and over how our government has misappropriated tax dollars in ways that failed to provide the promised tangible benefits to citizens of our fine city. We should do better. You all can do better. Here are three examples out of the hundred - page agenda. First, PH.10, the mayor wants to give $250, 000 from the City coffers to supplement an event put on by Mascot Sports, a for profit company, that is charging $150 a ticket for a 5K run and DJ concert. Really? Miami needs to supplement DJ parties? Is this how our mayor wants to spend his discretionary fund? To help Californians? Why not distribute that money to local organizations that take care of Miamians? Second, PH.12, Watson Island. Why not pay the state of Florida $4 million to lift the deed restrictions currently on the parcel? This deed was put in place to keep the land in public hands. Then the City can sell the land at its current market value of around $300 million. We need to make money, not a giveaway to a company listed to a private residence in Davie, Florida. Third, allowing civic C-1 [sic] zoned parcels to become apartments or whatever without public input is inappropriate. The historical context -- for historical context, when Mercy Hospital tried to do this, they lost a very expensive lawsuit. Cutting out the public in matters that affect the public City of Miami Page 11 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 should not be allowed. My message is simple. Please, I urge the commissioners to pause and reflect on managing our tax dollars for the benefit of Miamians, not outside interests and developers. Thank you. Happy holidays. Goodbye, Mr. Carollo, and goodbye Francis. Chair King: Please, no names. Ms. Schwarz: Oh, sorry. Chair King: Please, folks, do not -- in your public comments, do not address any of us by name. Good morning. Not for good or bad. Elvis Cruz: Good morning, unnamed commissioners. Chair King: Thank you, Elvis. Mr. Cruz: Elvis Cruz, 631 Northeast 57th Street, regarding PZ.13, residential in civic institutional zoning. I hope you read the article in the Coconut Grove Spotlight. Please stop the insanity of pushing infinite growth. Is the plan to have an affordable housing unit available for anyone who ever wants to move here? How much is enough? How much is too much? What about our quality of life? Don't ignore the realities of traffic congestion, neighborhood character and scale, potable water supply, sewage treatment and garbage disposal capacity, parking capacity, hurricane evacuation time, and park acreage per thousand residents. It doesn't make sense to allow infinite growth on limited land, limited infrastructure, and limited resources. PH.12, Watson Island, and Melreese, RE.13, PZ.16. It would be so nice if the City of Miami saw its parkland as a precious asset to be protected and preserved, instead of seeing it as vacant land for construction projects for well-connected, rich campaign contributors. Yes, these passed the referendum, but they should have never been on a ballot. I urge you to look after the public's best interest instead of the developer's best interest. The Watson Island deal stinks. Don't sell the land, let the lease run out, however many years that takes, then make that land a park, as it was originally intended to be. Don't you want the voters to like you? Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Alexander Miles: Good morning, Chairwoman and Commissioners. My name is Alexander Miles, and I reside in the city of Miami. I lead state and local housing policy in Florida for Enterprise Community Partners, and I'm here in support of Item PZ.13. I want to thank Commissioner Rosado for his leadership in sponsoring this item today. Enterprise is a national nonprofit that exists to make a good home possible for millions of families who need one. Since 1982, we've created or preserved homes across the country, including here in the city of Miami, to expand workforce housing options. Earlier this year, Enterprise helped advance Senate Bill 1730 through the Florida Legislature, which created the Yes in God's Backyard, or YIGBY tool. The law gives local governments a clear, optional pathway to allow housing on faith -owned properties when they choose to use it. PZ.13 is how Miami is choosing to implement that tool locally, and it could make Miami the first city in Florida to put YIGBY practice. Houses of worship are longstanding pillars of Miami's neighborhoods and are often owners of well -located, underused parcels near jobs, transit and services. This ordinance provides clarity and predictability for houses of worship that want to say yes to building attainable workforce housing on their land. Statewide, fully using this tool could open up tens of thousands of faith -owned parcels City of Miami Page 12 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 for housing, and Miami can help lead the way today. By adopting PZ.13, the Commission unlocks the potential of religious land for community benefit, expands housing choices for Miamians, and shows that faith -based planning and development is part of the solution. Enterprise looks forward to continuing to partner with the City of Miami, and I thank you for your time. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Andy Parrish: Good morning, Commissioners. Andy Parrish, 3940 Main Highway. Once again, I'm following Elvis, so I'm speaking on most of the things he spoke about, but a little differently this time. Some of you may remember a poem called Trees by Joyce Kilmer. We all had to learn this how not to write a poem. So, I rewrote it, and it goes like this. This is High Rises, with apologies to Joyce Kilmer. I think I shall never apprise a building as lovely as a high rise. A high-rise whose greedy developers press, commissioners' zoning changes to bless. A high-rise that blocks the breeze all day for unfortunate homes that fall under its sway. A high-rise that claims to be affordable, providing nests for the wealthy and absentees, that's deplorable. Upon whose votes should the blame fall? The state? The county? The city? All? Poor homes can be as bad or good as can high-rises, but God help us all if we don't have choices. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Elissa Margulies: Good morning, my name is Elissa Margulies, I live on Rice Street in Center Grove. As the old adage goes, the last one in gets the sale. Notice that public comment is always first, mostly ignored and quickly forgotten. So, who's last? The lawyers, the lobbyists, and developers, of course. We've all seen them walking around City Hall like they own the joint. I mean, it's crazy. It's almost as if they used to work here. The taxpayers, your constituents, us, we get two minutes each. By comparison, how much time do the lawyers and lobbyists get at the podium, in your offices, in closed -door meetings? No matter how many residents take the time to come here to voice our concerns about rampant overdevelopment and the resulting consequences, our commissioners don't seem to hear us. What happened to campaign promises of prioritizing residents and promises to shake things up, to get things back to the basics of serving residents? If you're truly concerned about climate change near the coastline, then why would you even consider putting more people in harm's way until remediation efforts have been implemented? It seems like the City is always thinking of new and creative ways to cram more people into a finite space, PZ.13, without first curing our infrastructure problems. Why not create a resilience trust fund with a mandate to act in advance of further development? Why not slow down and take the time to get it right? Why? Because the lawyers, the lobbyists, and developers are the last ones in, so they always get the sale. With waivers, exceptions, and even acknowledged mistakes, all sales are final and the citizens of Miami are stuck with the bills. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Cesar Herrera: Good morning. Hi, good morning. My name is Cesar Herrera. I am the head coach/operation director of the Miami Rowing and Watersport Center. I am here talking on behalf of the organization that this year we need to renew the lease agreement that we have with the City of Miami. We want to -- that you approve this renewal with the same term that we have been working during the last time. I want that you know that it is the only program that really represent the city of Miami. We have been running this program during the last 50 years in this place. This City of Miami Page 13 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 organization, we work for the community. We have a lot of kids that they can follow their dream throughout this sport that is very hard. This group that we have been during all this time, they have been winning more than 70 different state championships and different medals at national level, that really we appreciate your help with this program for our kids of the community. Not only we produce medals, we produce value in these kids, and really we love the job that we are doing with these kids. Thank you so much for all the help that we have received during the last time from the different authority of the City of Miami, the City Manager's Office, the Commissioner Damian Pardo, the Police Department and everything that they have been helping to work our program. Thank you so much and happy holiday. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Erica Scott: Hi, good morning. My name is Erica Scott. I'm here representing Miami Homes for All, address 3250 Southwest 3rd Avenue. On behalf of Miami Homes for All, I'm here in strong support of PZ.13, an ordinance that allows affordable housing to be developed by right on land owned by civic, religious, and educational institutions. Thank you, Commissioner Rosado, for championing this important proposal. Miami is facing a severe affordable housing crisis. We are short 90,000 affordable rental homes for households earning up to $75, 000 a year. Addressing this shortage requires bold and practical solutions, and PZ.13 is both. There are two reasons why this ordinance matters. First, it empowers institutions to serve their communities. Across Miami, churches have vacant lots while parishioners struggle to afford rent. This ordinance allows these institutions to turn unused land into affordable homes, helping people stay connected to their neighborhoods. Second, it unlocks meaningful new housing capacity. The City has identified 668 civic use properties that would be eligible under this measure. At a time when every unit counts, this represents an important opportunity to increase the supply of affordable housing. We urge you to support PZ.13 and help move Miami towards a more affordable, inclusive, future. This ordinance gives our schools, churches, and civic institutions the tools to expand their mission and directly support the residents that they serve. Thank you for your time and for your continued commitment to addressing the housing crisis. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Daisy Mera: Good morning, Chairwoman, Commissioners. My name is Daisy Mera and Ilive at 5624 Northeast Miami Place and I'm a resident of the City gfMiami. I'm also a member of Unite Here. I'm speaking today to ask you to vote no on PH.12. As a resident of Little Haiti, I can tell you how important the negotiation of the Magic City development was in 2019. Workers, community, government officials, and developers worked together to get a vibrant community benefits agreement. Today, you are entertaining a vote to allow a developer to buy city land for a bargain. In Little Haiti, we were able to negotiate a $31 million trust fund for the community. That is not what is happening here. Why can't you do the same? This is a bad deal for the city, it's a bad deal for residents, and it's a bad deal for workers. I urge you to do the right thing and defer this item to give us time to negotiate a deal that is worthy of the City of Miami. Thank you. Chair King: Good morning. Robert Kirby: Hi, good morning. My name is Robert Kirby. I live at 1980 Southwest 33rd Avenue in the Coral Gate neighborhood, and I am the vice chair of the Coral Gate Homeowners Association. I'm here in support of RE.15 that's been proposed and City of Miami Page 14 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 for your review today. And it proposed expansion of access to amenities on school yards, on school grounds that -- on non -school hours. Currently, those school grounds are not available during school hours or after school hours, I should say. We think that this proposal would be a big plus for the community. I'm currently raising -- partly raising four boys and we're losing the battle to screen time and too much screen time for boys, for kids in general makes for anxious kids, depressed kids, overweight kids, yada, yada. There's a reason why countries are banning screen time for kids under 16. What the commissioners advised me is that more than 40 school yards would be opened up for more hours so that the amenities could be available to more kids during, again, non -- off school hours. Anything that allows for kids to get out and play basketball, kick the ball, anything that allows kids more opportunity to move is good for those kids. So, we support this resolution, support some sort of activity or launching where we have play days or something like that to get the kids out of the house, get them moving. Highlighting the fact that there's 40 additional schools now that have yards where kids can play. Thank you, sir, for this proposal. We think it's great for kids. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Chris McAliley: Good morning. My name is Chris McAlily. I'm a long-time resident of the City of Miami, and I'm speaking to you today on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Miami Rowing Club and asking you to approve the revocable license agreement that is before you on RE.2. That agreement governs the relationship between the Miami Rowing Club and the City of Miami on whose property we operate. That boathouse and associated property has been the home of the Miami Rowing Club for more than 40 years. The heart of the program is our storied youth program. You just heard from Coach Cesar Herrera. Just yesterday, he was recognized nationally as the coach of the year. He has led, and his predecessors have led, a nationally recognized youth rowing program. In addition, there's a master's rowing program, and the Miami Rowing Club is the home of our dragon boat teams, including Save Our Sisters, the women cancer -- actually women and men, breast cancer survivors. They compete internationally, as do other dragon boat teams, and our outrigger canoe teams. Between it, there are hundreds of athletes out on that Marine Stadium basin, every single day. It's important that you know that the direct supervision by the City of the Miami Rowing Club is by the Parks and Recreation Department. That department is physically based there. They drafted this agreement. It's one that fairly compensates the City but ensures that our rowing program and paddling program continue to be viable. So, we ask for your support and thank you for that agreement and thank you for your support that we've enjoyed for many years. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Samantha Quaterman: Good morning. Good morning, Chairman [sic] Christine King and also City Commission. I just wanted to say it is a pleasure just to be here today. And I wanted to know is it a possibility to bring up the MEYGA (Multi -Ethnic Youth Group Association) kids because they will have something special they want to say to our chairwoman for giving back to this community. The reason why I'm here today, I fully support PH.4. My name is Samantha Quaterman, I'm the executive director of Multi -Ethnic Youth Group. I've actually been in the district for over 20 years, District 3 and 5, and I just would like to thank Christine King's office, Chairman [sic] Christine King's office for the support that she has portrayed for -- as Mega. One of the things I'd like to say, when she did not have to, she came to one of the kids' graduations. And at that time, her father has passed, and it just shows the commitment that she has to this public. And the kids just wanted to say a special thank you to you and your office. Is it okay if they come up? Okay. Mega kids, come up, please. And City of Miami Page 15 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 they are the generation of adolescent leaders; they are the youth of tomorrow. And a lot of our kids are suffering with reading, learning disabilities and everything else in a distressed area, but they are standing because we have commissioners like this and commissioners like you. I'm going to bring up -- I'm going to bring up one of our -- one of our youth that's a part of Mega. She's been a part of Mega for a couple of months now. Don't like to read out publicly, but she's going to do it today for you. Okay. Savannah (Minor): Good morning, everyone. My name is Savannah (Minor) and I'm a 16-year-old. I'm here today as a proud student of Mega After School Program, a program that has truly changed my life. Mega is more than just a school to me. It feels safe. It feels like home. The teachers and staff actually believe in us, even on the days we struggle to believe in ourselves. They don't just teach us schoolwork, they teach us confidence, respect, responsibility, and how to find our purpose. I also want to share a little bit about who I am. I'm currently a hairstylist and also because of Mega, I've started looking at hair not just something that I'm good at, but also a business. This program teaches me -- this program teaches us about entrepreneurship and how to turn our skills into real opportunities. I also dream of becoming a pediatrician one day. Ms. Samantha supports all our goals and brings in different professionals to talk to us about the careers we want. Hearing these stories makes me, feel like what I want in life is really possible. Because of Mega, I wasn 't -- before Mega, I wasn't sure about my future. Now I walk in every day knowing I matter, my education matters, and my dreams matter. Mega is helping shaping me into a better student, a better leader, and a better person. I'm proof that when a community invests in its youth, amazing things can happen. Thank you for your time and for supporting Mega Learning Center. Your help means more opportunity for students like me today and in your future. Also, a special thank you to Ms. Christine King. Thank you. Applause. Chair King: Thank you. Ms. Quarterman: And we could not do this without programs that you invest in, and thank you again. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Rita Klissas: Good morning. My name is Rita Klissas. I'm a resident of Coral Gables. I'm parent of a rower at MRC, Miami Rowing Club, as well as a rower myself. The youth program is really the heart and soul of MRC. Over 2,000 children have come through the program, led by Cesar Herrera, who has just yesterday been nationally recognized as coach of the year. Rowing is an extremely challenging sport, both physically and mentally, and in today's day and age, our kids don't have enough opportunities to develop the determination, resilience, and grit they need to succeed, not only in sport, but in life. This program gives them that chance. We are here as parents and rowers to urge the Commission to renew the license agreement as it was written, which will ensure the ongoing viability of the program. And our kids practice daily in the marine basin, and we're very grateful for the Marine Patrol presence that keeps them safe and hope that also continues. Thank you and happy holidays. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Priska Urban: Thank you. Good morning. My name is Priska Urban, and I'm the City of Miami Page 16 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 current Commodore of the Coconut Grove Sailing Club. I live on Mary Street here in Miami, and I'm here in speaking in favor of PH.13. Since our founding in 1945, our mission has been clear, to create an inclusive space where men, women, and children can enjoy the sport of sailing. Over the past eight decades, CGSC (Coconut Grove Sailing Club) has taught more than 100,000 people to sail. Many of our young sailors have gone to compete to the highest level, even the Olympics. Today, our programs are the highest level, and we continue to nurture talent and ensure that sailing is accessible to all. But CGSC is more than a sailing club. It is a community. Families come together, friendships are forged, and generations connect through shared experiences. We partner with students from local high schools so they can sail out of our club. And through scholarships and outreach programs, we ensure that sailing is accessible to all regardless of background and means. For many young people, CGSC is not just a sailing club, it is a safe harbor, a place to grow, to learn, and to belong. We host countless national and international regattas, events that bring visitors from across the globe, generating significant economical impact, and showcasing Miami as a world -class sailing destination, strengthening our city reputation. Commissioners, today I ask your support in approving our new lease. This is not simply about preserving a sailing club. It is preserving a legacy of education, partnership, collaboration, and community impact. CGSC has been a cornerstone of Miami for 80 years, and with your partnership, we can ensure that this legacy continues for generations to come. Thank you for your consideration and your leadership. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Suzanne Santos: Good morning. My name is Suzanne Santos. I'm here as a parent of rowers at the Miami Rowing Club in support of renewing our current licensing agreement with the City of Miami. I want to thank the City of Miami for providing the safety efforts in the last couple of years that has really changed the way the club operates in the basin. And I want to emphasize the importance of preserving our access to the basin by renewing the current agreement. Our club, for those of you who don't know, is small, but it's endured for over 50 years consistently and quietly. But it's risen lately to a national level of recognition, and we have the city of Miami to thank for that, a lot of that success, along with our coach, Cesar Herrera, who was just nationally recognized yesterday. So, thank you very much for your support. It's really appreciated. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Peter Wiesniewski: Good morning. My name is Peter Wiesniewski. I live at 2800 Emathla Street here in the Grove, and I'm here on behalf of PH.13 as well. My family and I moved to Miami six years ago, and the Coconut Sailing Club isn't just a place we visit. It's become sort of the cornerstone of our lives. Every week we're out on the water practicing a sport, but also seeing friends and building community. When we arrived in Miami, my two young sons, Peter and Alec, were nervous about finding their footing. Coconut Grove solved that immediately. Beyond the friendship they quickly formed, sailing has proven to be an unparalleled teacher. It teaches them responsibility. You can't leave the dock without having thoroughly checked your boat. It teaches resilience. Every sailor knows what it's like to capsize and have to work quickly and calmly to right the boat. These aren't just sailing skills, but life skills. But the value extends far beyond the lessons learned by the kids. We found here is truly an exceptional community. From the seasoned members who mentor newest junior members to the volunteers who tirelessly run our weekly races and social events, there's a palpable sense of shared purpose. Both my wife and I have taken numerous classes at the club over the last few years, from basic heel boot to coastal cruising. The coaches that we travel and see regularly are now like family. Coconut Grove City of Miami Page 17 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Sailing Club has given my sons new friends and new confidence. It gave my family a welcoming community who are supportive, encouraging, and passionate about not just sailing, but the bay, the environment, and helping make Miami all that it is. It's an invaluable asset to the area. We're deeply grateful for everything the club provides and to the City for the partnership and respectfully ask that you vote to approve the new lease. Thank you very much. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Justine Segrera: Good morning. My name is Justine Segrera, and I'm a resident of Miami and a proud parent of a the Miami -- I'm a rower at Miami Rowing Club. MRC is more than a sports program; it's a Miami institution. For decades, MRC has opened its doors to young athletes from every neighborhood background, offering not only world -class coaching, but also scholarship opportunities that make the sport accessible to all. My daughter is part of the girls' team, and through MRC, she has grown in discipline, confidence, teamwork, and resilience. The coaching staff led by nationally recognized Cesar Herrera, is deeply committed to the developing athletes both on and off the water. Their dedication has shaped generations of Miami youth and continues to strengthen our community. Thanks to the support of the City of Miami, our Police Department, and our Marine Patrol, for keeping the Marine Stadium basin safe for our rowers. I respectfully ask that you vote to preserve and continue the license agreement for Miami Rowing Club. Your support ensures that this vital program, serving novices, scholarship athletes, and master rowers alike, can continue to provide opportunity, mentorship, and a safe and positive environment for so Miami -- so many Miami families. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Alex Valdes -Pages: Good morning. My name is Alex Valdes -Pages. I am here in support of PH.13. I learned how to sail at CGSC when I was six years old alongside my sister. At the age of ten, I joined the race team and also took part in summer camps every single summer and eventually became a counselor. I then worked as a sailing instructor and coach at CGSC for over ten years through summer camps, weekend sailing, and clinics, teaching both children and adults in various types of sailboats on how to sail. I made many friends through the club over the years. I've taken probably hundreds of people sailing on a family sailboat and I'm proud to know that I introduced many of them to sailing and the amazing resource that we have, which is Biscayne Bay. I can't stress enough how CGSC fosters a community that turns into family. I met my best friend through sailing as kids over 20 years ago, and he's now my son's godfather. Growing up at the club, learning how to sail, taking all the classes, and being an instructor taught me so many life experiences that have helped me as a young man navigate adulthood -- adulthood, excuse me. A career of Amazon, and most importantly, being a good husband and a father. The Sailing Club is a part of me, a part of my family, and I'm hoping you support the new lease. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Gilbert Palacios: Good morning, Commissioners. My name is Gilbert Palacios, and I live at 7941 Southwest 164th Avenue, Miami, Florida. I'm organizing director of Unite Here, and I'm here today to ask you to vote no on PH.12. There's a huge concern with the proposed sale of real estate at Watson Island. There's no reason to rush to sell this land. Residents have sued the City over issues with Watson Island before and have taken a vote to ensure the sale of Watson Island is at fair market City of Miami Page 18 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 value. I ask that this collaboration with the community, we can use responsible and good development in our city like we have done in the past development. This is a bad deal for the City, a bad deal for residents, a bad deal for workers. I urge you to vote no and to defer this item to give us time to negotiate a deal worthy of city of Miami. Thank you. Chair King: Good morning. Melissa Shuffield: Good morning, Chairwoman, Vice Chair, and members of the Commission. My name is Melissa Shuffield, and I am here to speak on behalf of the Coconut Grove Sailing Club. I'll be reading a letter from a representative from the school system who, unfortunately, was not able to attend today. Her name is Jeanine McCleod (phonetic), Dr. Jeanine McCleod. She lives at 5820 Southwest 63rd Court, South Miami, Florida, 33143. For the past 22 years, Coconut Grove Sailing Club has been a vital and valued partner to the Miami -Dade County Public Schools Anchors Away Program. I'm a physical education teacher on special assignment, which means that I specialize in adaptive physical education. I've had the privilege of teaching swimming, sailing, and kayaking to students from across our large and diverse district, something that would simply not be possible without the facilities and support o.f CGSC. This long-standing partnership has allowed us to provide outdoor, water - based education to over 20,000 students from every corner of the county. Remarkably, nearly 45 percent of our participants are students with special needs, whether physical, emotional, or cognitive. The club has been consistently accommodating and supportive of all of our students, welcoming them with care, dignity, and professionalism. For many of our students, CGSC has provided a true first. The first time on a dock, the first time in a kayak, the first time feeling the wind while learning to sail, the first time learning how to safe -- how to be safe and navigate the water. These are transformational experiences, and students have gained life skills, confidence, and a deepened connection to the natural world. Some have gone on to compete in the Special Olympics. Others return eager to share what they've learned with their families, many of whom who have had access to the water at all. These moments matter to the continued developments of our students. This partnership has provided the opportunity for powerful hands-on learning for science classes as well. Biology and marine science students are able to explore the environment firsthand, spotting fish, observing ecosystems, engaging with the world beyond the classroom. Chair King: Thank you. Ms. Shuffield: The impact of this program -- Chair King: Thank you. Ms. Shuffield: -- is critical. Thank you so much. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Grant Stern: Grant Stern, 425 Northeast 22nd Street. I'm here today to speak on a few different items. First of all, of course, to support our wonderful sailing club, the Rowing Club, and to say how that example of licensing and prudent management also points out that we should do the same with Watson Island. The City has a perpetual interest in our waterfront and needs to maintain that, and we need to be long-term thinkers here. And that's what was lacking in the City about eight years ago when there was a major sea change election. It brought in people who made huge impacts. City of Miami Page 19 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 They selected the current city manager. They retaliated against their political foes and cost the City millions of dollars. And in addition to that, there's something I want to bring to your attention that's very relevant to a couple of the items like SR.1 and FR.8, which are very mundane items about fees. Because the city of Miami just lost in court last week in the Third District Court of Appeals on a case that stems from overcharging people fees from 2017 and 2018 when the new administration came in and hired a new city manager who just lost his attempt to be the mayor of this city coming up soon. And that's a $75 million budget hole that you guys now have to face, the new commission, the people who are going to sit on this commission starting at the next meeting will not include people like Commissioner (Foreign Language) anymore, and they will be responsible for cleaning up the messes. And so, I'm asking you guys to put special consideration in everything you do, because the reality here is that you guys are managing the future of our city and the past sitting here is over. The past is over, and we need to put it behind us. I won't miss the former city manager when he leaves because he's been avoiding interviews for two years now, the ones that he promised. We need to do better in the City, and I know that the four members of this commission, who shall remain nameless, are going to do better in the coming years. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Vice Chair Carollo: Chairwoman? I would like to know whom this individual is calling a communist up here? He said Commissioner Communist, and what proof does he have to defame somebody and call them a communist? Mr. Stern: It's you, Joe. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Thank you very much, so that I can deal with it -- Chair King: Thank you, Mr. Stern. Vice Chair Carollo: -- when I'm a civilian again. Mr. Stern: Oh, by all means. Vice Chair Carollo: But want to thank you -- Mr. Stern: You have my address, sir. Vice Chair Carollo: -- Little Billy [sic]. Chair King: Thank you. Thank you. Vice Chair Carollo: I want to thank you very much -- Chair King: Thank you, Mr. Stern. Thank you, Mr. Stern. Mr. Stern: I'm done. City of Miami Page 20 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Vice Chair Carollo: -- for giving me freedom and liberty that now I will have where I will not be a hostage to the city anymore. While you and him and guys like you will still be your miserable, hateful individuals, and I will have a life. I will enjoy life. I will enjoy the world. Thank you very much. Chair King: Good morning. Laura Simsan: Good morning. My name is Laura Simsan, in favor of PH.13. I'm currently the general manage of Coconut Grove Sailing Club. My journey here wasn't planned, it just happened. I moved to Miami from -- I moved to Miami from Washington D.C. with background in organizational behavior. And before I had even settled in, I was introduced to a few club members who connected me with the commodore and manager at the time. I began consulting a few days a week on their billing and marketing, which quickly became five. And now, 17 years later, this past October, I'm still here and proud to call this place my home away from home. When I first moved to the West Grove, my neighbors didn't know what the club did. I wasn't from a sailing or community service background myself but I felt a responsibility to change that. I fell in love with our mission and found it rewarding to design programs that turn people's uncertainty into excitement. Many commodores have mentored me along the way, and I still value their support and collaboration. One of the greatest joys of my job has been watching children grow up from six -year -old sailors into confident young adults. We heard one speak earlier. It's a beautiful reminder of the impact our programs have, teaching sailing, it teaches independence, teamwork, problem -solving, resilience, and for adults, adaptability and real-time decision - making. To me, it's also a form of active meditation and strengthens the body and mind. I've had a pleasure of meeting people all over the city and showing them that sailing is accessible to everyone. Transportation challenges, fear of water, even not knowing how to swim, we can help overcome all of it. Biscayne Bay has so much to offer, and I'm grateful to help others experience. Providing scholarship to Miami's youth has been one o.f my proudest responsibilities. These opportunities relieve financial stress, open the doors, promote diversity, and demonstrate our commitment to the community. The club and I appreciate you and our partnership all of these decades. As we celebrate our 80th year, I'm honored to be a part of its story, and I look for many more years to come. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Blanca Wolf: Good morning. My name is Blanca Wolf. I live in 560 Southwest 2nd Street, city of Miami. I am here to ask you to vote no on PH.12. I work for the Miami Airport because I have a union job. I am able to live in this city. We cannot allow developers to come into our cities and buy our land for pennies without setting -- securing good jobs. This is a bad deal for Miami. Please vote no on PH.12 and keep negotiating. Thanks. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Gregory Franker: Good morning. Greg Franker, I live in District 2. We understand the City negotiated a horrible lease in Watson Island in early 2000. We understand the City currently owns the land, yes, owns the land, subject to the restrictions in the original RFP (Request for Proposal), and any owner of the fee simple will be subject to those restrictions. We also know BH3 Merrimack paid $110 million for the 11-acre lease and development rights, $10 million per acre. This parcel is 3.2 acres, so they paid $32 million. Adding the $29 million for the fee simple and the $9 million for affordable housing, that's $70 million. If this deal goes through, nothing would stop City of Miami Page 21 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 them from turning around and selling this property tomorrow for $250 million. Integra's appraised value, with the restrictions on the buildable units and hotel rooms, they can make $180 million without ever breaking ground. And what did the City get? Nothing more than what they have today, plus $9 million. Second, the City member points out that selling the condos in fee simple instead of a timeshare will result in an additional $2 billion in property tax with a net present value of $320 million. If there is an additional $320 million in property tax, what's the additional value to the developers? More than $9 million they are contributing to affordable housing. Why? Because property law teaches us that property rights are like a bundle of sticks. The highest value is when all the rights are controlled by one party. The sum of the sticks is greater than its parts. Each party is coming to the table with a stick, but the City is getting, at best, nothing more than the value of the rights they currently have, and BH3 Merrimack is walking away with 100 percent of the increased value from the bundle. With a newly elected mayor and city commissioner, this commission should do what the Herald editorial board suggested, defer this vote and negotiate a piece of the increased value, the fair market value the voters approved. According to the Herald, the developers on appraisal found the land without the lease restrictions to be worth $70 to $80 million, not 20 to 30. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Hector Canales: (FOREIGN LANGUAGE). Mr. Canales (as translated by Irene Orces, Official Spanish Interpreter): Hello, my name is Hector Canales. I live at 510 Southwest 6th Street, Miami. I have been a Latin resident here for 30 years, and also a Unite Here member as well. I'm here today to urge you to vote no on PH.12. It's not a good business deal for our city, for our residents, nor for our workers, who deserve responsible development. Vote no. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Rob Piper: Good morning, Madam Chair, Commissioners. My name is Rob Piper. I reside at 1401 Southwest 17th Terrace. I'm here to urge you to vote no on PH.10, simply because why is a quarter of a million dollars being set aside for a 5K race when there are speed bumps that need to be paid for and installed in Silver Bluff when there's storm water grates that need to be cleaned off in Little Havana? Regarding PH.12, I think the consensus is clear. That's a bad deal. Give it away for only $29 million. What are we? Are we the Miami -Dade College Board of Trustees? So, let's not do that, please. And regarding PH.14, PH.15, RE.17, and RE.18, I would just ask just to defer those until next year to give the new commission leadership in District 3 a chance to look those over. I'm for affordable housing as much as anyone, but when I read those, those items, I just have a lot of questions. And I would just ask, give the new commission leadership for the district that's going to be affected by those a chance to look those over and to share what they find with the people that spoke on - - earlier this week regarding what is best for District 3, particularly regarding RE.17 and RE.18, why is a for profit development getting loaned -- getting a $4 million loan to do this? Many questions, and just, you know, give the people of District 3 and the new commission leadership the chance to weigh in on that as well. You don't have to - - just defer it. Thank you very much. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Katrina Morris: Good morning, Commissioner, City Manager. My name is Katrina City of Miami Page 22 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Morris. I am a District 2 resident. I urge you to reject the $29 million Watson Island sale price. The City Manager argues that the property is only worth $29 million because development restrictions remain in place after the sale. But let's examine what these restrictions actually allow. 105 luxury condos priced above $1 million each, 500 hotel rooms and two towers on prime waterfront, nearly 100,000 square feet of retail and office space, 40-story and 30-story towers. This isn't a restricted property. It's a highly valuable development program on irreplaceable Biscayne Bay waterfront. Fisher Island, it may even be the same zip code, 33109, is the USA's most expensive zip code. BH3 themselves paid over $50 million, and now I'm hearing 100, just for the leasehold rights to build this exact project. According to news reports, your appraiser, Integra Realty Resources, valued this property at $257 to $342 million. The City should make the complete Integra appraisal publicly available so residents can understand how the same appraiser arrived at both $29 million and over $250 million. Furthermore, if the restrictions were truly limiting, why did BH3 pay so much for the leasehold? Why do they want to buy it now? We're also told -- we're also trading $2 million in annual rent for 99 years, that's $198 million in future revenue, for just $29 million upfront. The voters approved the sale at fair market value, a price that is 90 percent below your appraiser's valuation is not a fair market value. It's not an emergency, this isn't a fire sale, and I don't like that as a resident I have to sit here and learn about stupid leaseholds when our attorneys should be advising you that this is a really bad deal. I just don't get it. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Vincent Delgado: Good morning, Madam Chair. Good morning, Mr. Commissioner. I'm Vincent Delgado. I'm representing the seniors of De Hostos Senior Center. The address is 1897 Northwest 20th Street. I have -- we serve over a hundred seniors every day for meals and we have not received no funding yet from the City of Miami. We received funding from the County, but still now we are not receiving no funding yet for the City of Miami. And we are working in the fiscal year budget, which started October 1st, and now we are not -- no money to cover the seniors that we have in the center that correspond to the city of Miami. I have 52 seniors from District 5, 53 seniors from District 1, and I still have not received those funding for the seniors. Please, take into consideration that the seniors will not be hungry -- cannot be hungry, and we have to serve them. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. James Torres: Good afternoon. Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays. James Torres, president of the Downtown Neighbors Alliance. Wanted to bring up RE (Resolution) Number 9. No community feels the urgency of homelessness crisis more directly than the downtown community. We're here in support of that particular resolution. Let's be clear, not supporting this initiative would be turning a blind eye on the problem that impacts downtown more than any other neighborhood in the entire city of Miami. This is an important item that benefits the most. As what we've seen this morning, and it's encouraging to see the support of other municipalities here today, including West Miami, Coral Gables, and even the County Commissioner, Natalie Orbis, they realize that this is an important issue that should be addressed front and center. Supporting this initiative also means doing it responsibility [sic]. Using leverage on financial tools, don't spend the cash without matching the funds, including the homeless trust that could be a part of this issue, and it's important that they are involved. To making sure that the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) are structured the right way for this item. It's not -- we're asking not to slow down in moving progress forward on this item. It's investing in the future of downtown and the entire city. Downtown residents fully support this item and this initiative moving forward in the right direction. Even City of Miami Page 23 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 though you're going to be taking money from the Bayfront Trust of about a million dollars, we're asking that specific million dollars that's coming from the Bayfront Trust is accounted for in making sure that it's used in that structure for downtown. Our only request is simple. Move forward with this item. Thank you very much, Chairwoman. To Art and Ace, thank you so much for helping us on the noise ordinance for construction. Best wishes in the holiday moving forward. Thank you for being a champion on the noise. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Zee Sultan: Good afternoon. My name is Zee Sultan, Vice President of the Downtown Neighbors Alliance. I'm here to speak on Agenda Item RE.9. Good morning -- good afternoon, actually. I want to address the Bayfront Park Trust decision to allocate $1 million towards the purchase of motel properties intended for homeless services. Downtown residents understand the urgency of addressing homelessness, especially because the majority of the issue is concentrated in our district. The initiative to acquire motel properties is a meaningful step, and homelessness is a core concern for us at the DNA (Downtown Neighbors Alliance). We support the effort strongly. At the same time, the Bayfront Park Trust's funds exist for a specific purpose, to support Bayfront Park and enhance the quality o.f life, for downtown community. Allocating funds towards a homelessness strategy can align with that purpose, but only if the benefit to downtown is clear, direct, and guaranteed. So, if $1 million is taken out of that trust, we respectfully ask that downtown's contribution results in a direct, tangible benefit to downtown. This is a multi jurisdictional initiative totaling more than $4 million, so subdilution across contributing areas is expected, but downtown's $1 million, we feel, should and must translate into a measurable, tangible benefit, specifically for downtown, and not simply blend into a countywide effort. Residents deserve clarity on how this contribution will improve conditions in the district the Trust was created to serve. If Trust funds are going towards property acquisition, downtown residents also deserve assurances regarding how the money is managed. Leverage should be used where possible through financing and partnerships rather than simply spending cash. Any operator or manager of these facilities should be chosen through a competitive, vetted, and transparent selection process, not informal or politically influenced decisions, and public dollars should be tied to clear performance metrics that demonstrate actual results. These are basic safeguards that ensure the responsible use of public funds. We are not opposing the initiative. We are advocating for strategic use and transparency and guaranteed local benefit. Chair King: Thank you. Mr. Sultan: Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Billy Corben: Good afternoon, Madam Chair. Billy Corben on PH.12, among others. First off to your point about good morning, this meeting started nearly one hour late, then there was an hour and 15 minutes of proclamations and presentations, then you afforded a professional courtesy to elected officials to speak before public comment, which didn't start until 11: 20. It's really disrespectful. There should be a time certain for public comment so people know when to arrive and don't show up before 9: 00 a. m. and then have to wait around for almost two and a half hours. And then you want to limit us and say we cannot say people's names, which you as an attorney know is a violation of the Constitution. The city attorney knows better, and you know better because you were taught better by Bruce Rogow, your First Amendment professor at City of Miami Page 24 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Nova Southeast. Chair King: Bruce Rogow. Mr. Corben: Bruce Rogow. My point that -- you've made my point for me. You were taught better by Rogow. And getting back to professional courtesy, Madam Chair, I would ask that you defer this entire agenda until the new year as a professional courtesy for the newly -elected officials in last week's historic election. This is the last meeting for the mayor, for the D3 (District 3) commissioner, hopefully for the city manager, and I think out of deference to them and respect for the residents who made a decision in D3 that they do not want anyone with that last name to represent them on this dais anymore and they want to -- let's go home. Let's celebrate the holidays, let's spend time with our families, and let's come back in a new year, in a new day for the City of Miami and do the business of the people with the people that they want to do the business for them. And I wish you a happy new year and happy holidays. And finally, I'd like to submit a formal public records request for all the text messages you've exchanged today with lobbyist Ron Book. Hi, Ron. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Good morning. Good afternoon. Ariel Trueba: Good afternoon, Chairwoman. First off congratulations on your re- election. I am here today as a private citizen. I reside at 61 Northwest 3 7th Avenue and a proud resident of District 4. I'm here in support of RE.9. I think it's very important that we are addressing many of the public safety concerns that are happening, especially in the Flagami neighborhood, which has been well taken care of by our police department. But there's obviously more that we could do in helping with some of the housing needs in our neighborhood, in our community. Thank you so much. Happy holidays to you all. Chair King: Thank you. Is there anyone else here who would like to speak? Oh, ma am. Kim Brikenfeld: Good morning, Madam Chairwoman, and may it please the Commission. My name is Kim Brikenfeld, District 2. I live at 2475 Brickell Avenue. I have a beautiful view looking south over the bay, and I'm here to support the Coconut Grove Sailing Club for the memories and because it makes people brave and strong. Do you ever feel like Tom Cruise when he's about to do something brave? I've never spoken publicly about this. I grew up in Oregon, in a small town in the woods, non - sailing family. Went to Brown, went to Harvard Business School, was working for PepsiCo in Honolulu when the Atlanta Olympics were announced. And I said, well, I'm going to try that. so I quit my job. My first Olympic regatta was at the Coconut Grove Sailing Club, and I came in last. But I got seventh in the trials for Atlanta up at Tybee Island. I got third in the trials for Sydney, and I was training for the Athens Olympics and the Grove Sailing Club. It was announced I was the top woman headed to Athens. I was one of Miami's best and brightest. I was working in online gaming on Brickell Key, and I could train out at the club. Online gaming back in 2002. Then I got hit. My sailboat, technically sailboat, got hit by a powerboat. GCS 6, coma for a month in Athens, Greece hospitals. The guy who hit me is a rock star in New Zealand who had already won a bronze medal in Los Angeles. So, he will be coming back to Los Angeles in 2028. My life has been hell since Tom Cruise took the medal from Paris. It's like somebody's trying to push me down. 2475 Brickell and I don't have a door because something happened, it had to be broken down. I've gotten the runaround from contractors for eight months now. If you don't have a door, you don't have a home. Isn't -- I mean, something's weird. I've got all the proof. Anyway, I'm City of Miami Page 25 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 here to support the Coconut Grove Sailing Club. Also, I want you to know the only stock that I own is Palantir. I have to do everything online. I can't get a walker. I can't get a pair of jeans. I can't get -- these are the same boots I've had for 20 years. I'm just saying that since I got hit by the powerboat, and it wasn't properly investigated, and the guy ran down to New Zealand, it's like somebody's trying to push me out of the way before the games get to Los Angeles. So, sailing -- the sailing club makes people brave and it makes people strong. I support that, of course, and my only pleasure is looking -- when I get scared, I just look down over the bay at the sailing club because it gives -- it makes people strong and it gives you memories. I would be very sad if it went away. So, if anybody has a good contractor that can replace a door in a Brickell condo, please talk to me and my building engineer, who has not been helpful either. Chair King: Thank you. Ms. Brikenfeld: Thank you very much. Chair King: Thank you. Is there anyone else that would like to speak on behalf of any of the items on this agenda? Seeing none, the public comment period is now closed. Kimberly Davis: I'm sorry, I just walked in. Chair King: Go ahead. Ms. Davis: So, this is not -- ooh, it's loud today. Good morning, everybody. It's not to speak about anything, although I have a million opinions. I know I only have two minutes, but I wanted to publicly say thank you to Commissioner Pardo for being a great supporter of the American Legion Veterans Day Parade that's held here in the Coconut Grove community. We have become one of the largest parades due to his support, due to the support of the city of Miami, the city manager, oh, and he just came in, so his office as well, as well as Commissioner Rosado and our Francis Suarez as well. So, I know that you guys probably deal with a lot of beating up, but today I wanted to say thank you publicly. The veterans couldn't come, and we found out just yesterday. This is our last day. So, we're running in. Thank you so much for what you guys do for the Coconut Grove community. And this is on behalf of American Legion Post 182 Veterans Day Parade. Mr. Hannon: And, Chair, if I could have the speaker's name before she leaves the chambers. Chair King: Okay. Ma'am, if you could give the clerk your name. Ms. Davis: Oh, (INAUDIBLE). Mr. Hannon: On the record. Ms. Davis: Oh. (INAUDIBLE). Kimberly Davis, 4000 Grand Avenue. I am the Coconut Grove Optimist Club president. Mr. Hannon: Thank you. City of Miami Page 26 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Chair King: Thank you.

Chair King: Now, Commissioner Rosado, you pulled PH.12. Commissioner Rosado: I did. I pulled PH.12. Bear with me just a moment. I do have - - I've given this item a lot of thought. I had requested the deferral for this to this meeting from the last one, and I've been speaking to folks in the real estate industry, folks that can deal -- that work on very complex deals. And I'm still not comfortable with where we are on this. I did some research on our procurement code as well. I would like to make a motion -- and I -- let me be clear. I have respect for the folks that were awarded this -- this -- you know, that made the purchase that allowed them to enter into this project. That being said, I want to get to yes on this, but I'm not a yes on this at this time. I would like to be confident that we've negotiated the best possible deal for the City and I'm not there at the moment. I have in the past worked with different individuals that are comparable to the firms that did the appraisals. I met with the appraisers. I asked a number of questions. I would like to make a motion to engage with Cushman & Wakefield to help us negotiate on the City's behalf because I do think that there is room to make this a better deal that's more responsive to our residents and our taxpayers. I'm not trying to push this into the indefinite future. I think we can come to an agreement by January 22nd. I know that the Manager, if we approve my motion, has the ability to engage with an outside real estate advisory firm. That is within our procurement code to allow him to do so, and that would be my motion at this time. Not only do I think that there's room for additional public benefits, but I have concerns about the fact that the purchaser could in fact, as someone referenced, could in fact turn around and flip the property. And that has major consequences. I don't want to go down -- I think the Vice Chair made a statement along these lines at the last meeting. This is a really important real estate deal. This is historic, and I want to make sure that we're on the right side of history on this. Commissioner Gabela: Madam Chair, can I weigh in? Chair King: Yes, please. Commissioner Gabela: Look, I feel there have -- for those of you that don't know, there have been safety guards that have been put in place at the last moment which I wanted because we were concerned about is that the property's worth a lot more money than what it is. Even the Herald said itself I believe yesterday, that the value had substantially come down. And we have now put in place -- I have asked for it to be put in place, safety guards, that if in fact, for example, the developer decides to flip this property in, let's say, a year from now without doing anything at all, you know, he has to pay us a penalty, okay, and a certain percentage, okay, so that would not happen anymore. What I don 't want to see is for this to drag on, we don 't collect revenues, that there's another saga somewhere down the line and the property continues -- and I understand the argument, you know, of you know, that, you know, the millions and the difference and all the stuff. But the reality is that that property sits there, doesn 't produce anything, okay, and not -- nothing -- nobody is benefiting at the moment, you know, in my opinion. I think we need to take a vote on this today, honestly speaking, you know. And I'm ready for a vote. They have assured me not City of Miami Page 48 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 only verbally but on paper that this is going to be the case, that they're not going to flip it over. And if they do, they have a penalty to contend with, you know. So, I think we're pretty much going to be safe in that matter. So, as for me, I'm ready to go on this. Commissioner Rosado: I -- Commissioner Pardo: Yeah, I'd like to -- Commissioner Rosado: Commissioner, if I could ask -- Commissioner Pardo: I'd like to speak. Chair King: Hold on one second. Commissioner Pardo. Commissioner Pardo: Yeah, well, we've been working with this for about two years, and there's -- it's complicated. There's a lot of moving parts. I think it's very, very important to understand that we already paid for two independent appraisals with great firms: Integra, CBRE (Coldwell Banker Richard Ellis). Both of those I've reviewed very closely. I used to do a lot of commercial real estate transactions. Those are both below $29 million. The Miami Herald got their own appraisal on this issue, came in below $29 million. In fact, their article last night summed all of this up in two paragraphs. Bottom line, it's complicated, but the $342 million valuation appears to be an unrealistic outlier. Meanwhile, two experts consulted by the Herald concurring with the two independent appraisers that the City relied on said that a deal in the $29 million range appears reasonable given the unusual underlying circumstances. That's largely because the City is handcuffed by a 99-year lease with developers for the site that was approved by the Miami commissioners and voters 24 years ago for a massive hotel and a massive commercial project that was never built. Because of the locked in lease, the City says it does not, fully own or control the land, and thus can 't sell it for its maximum open -market value. Any change to these restrictions would have to terminate the lease, it would have to go to the voters, and it would start all over again. So, this isn 't something where they can turn around and sell it and somebody gets this big profit. This has been a very thought-out, studied, and really looked at transaction for a significant period of time. I want to thank everyone that was part of the Zoom we hosted for the public and the residents where we went through each appraisal step by step. The developers were able to speak; people were able to ask their questions in the webinar. And I think it's important for us to have the appraisals public. We have them public in our office, anyone that wants to come by and look through them. We're happy to sit with anyone and have an appointment on this issue. But we feel it's a good transaction and we definitely want to move forward. Chair King: Commissioner Rosado. Commissioner Rosado: I do. I have a question for Commissioner Gabela. He mentioned the addition of guard rails, and I think that is a good step. But I've not seen what those are. Was something added in the last few days? I've not seen the verbiage on that. Commissioner Pardo: Yeah. Arthur Noriega (City Manager): Madam Chair, if I may. Chair King: Mr. Manager. Mr. Noriega: So, we're finalizing some language with Law that is a result of a recommendation and a conversation that Commissioner Gabela had, both with the City of Miami Page 49 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 developer and with us, which will allow for the City to benefit from a percentage of the gap in the transaction should they decide or the intent is to resell the deal or re - trade it. We're working on that language now. I would suggest we maybe kick this item to the afternoon, allow us to finish it up, the language up -- Commissioner Pardo: Okay. Mr. Noriega: -- and then we could introduce it as an amendment to the item in the afternoon session. Chair King: First, I have to dispose of the motion. I have a motion to defer this item. Do I have a second? Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Oh, I'm sorry. The motion on the floor that I would like -- if it's okay with the Chair, Commissioner Rosado has a motion on the floor to engage the services of Cushman & Wakefield. Is that something that you'd like to proceed with at the moment or wait until the afternoon? Commissioner Rosado: I'm happy to make that motion now and to defer this item to January 22nd. I'm not looking to -- Chair King: He wants to defer. Commissioner Rosado: -- kick the can on -- down the road on this perpetually. I really think that -- and I would only move it four weeks like that just because I know we have the holidays in between. Otherwise, I'm happy to put it on for January 8th, but I know that gives us very little time. I'd like to see further negotiations on our behalf on this item. Chair King: I have a motion to defer. Do I have a second? Motion fails for lack of second, and we will hear the item in the afternoon after we break. [Later... ] Chair King: And what do we have remaining? PH.12. Commissioner Pardo? Commissioner Pardo: Yeah. Actually, the only thing I wanted to add on PH.12 is just to remind everyone that the voters approved this by 62 percent and that actually when you look at the existing cash flow versus what we're changing, in other words, what we get today versus what we get under this deal, there's a $3.2 billion -- I'm sorry, $2.3 billion difference over the 99 years. If we take the present value of that cash flow, it's about $319.5 million in today, the difference between where we are and where we will be, and that's a very, very important fact for us as a city. Commissioner Gabela: Plus, I want to add that we added on this last chapter here, this last instrument to add on as a safety guard, as an extra safety guard to the property in case the property was turned over within the next couple of years. Chair King: I'd also like to have administration, for the record, confirm the additional money for affordable housing. It's $9 million from the developers and it is a $9 million match from the City that will go to our coffers so that we can create affordable housing in our districts. Commissioner Pardo: And infrastructure. City of Miami Page 50 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Chair King: And infrastructure. I just need to hear the manager say it on the record. Arthur Noriega (City Manager): I'm happy to commit the next manager to proceed with that. Absolutely, $9 million. Chair King: Okay, Commissioner Rosado. Commissioner Rosado: I continue to be a no at this time. I'm not a no forever. I'm a no at this meeting. And I would still like to respectfully request that we engage Cushman & Wakefield to help us with the negotiations. This is that important, that consequential, and that complex, and I'm not comfortable at this moment. And with all due respect to all parties involved. Chair King: Okay. Commissioner Pardo: I'll make a motion. Chair King: I have a motion. Commissioner Gabela: Second. Chair King: I have a motion and a second for PH.12. Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Chair, and there was a document handed out. I'm assuming that this is going to be amending PH.12? George Wysong (City Attorney): That is correct. Commissioner Gabela: Yeah, with the added -- Mr. Wysong: Yes. Commissioner Gabela: -- the added verbiage part. Chair King: Okay. I have a motion and a second for PH.12 as amended. All in favor? Commissioner Pardo: Aye. Commissioner Gabela: Aye. Chair King: Aye. Commissioner Rosado: No. Mr. Hannon: The motion passes 4-1 with Commissioner Rosado voting no. City of Miami Page 51 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Chair King: And -- Vice Chair Carollo: (INAUDIBLE) on the record on this. Chair King: Sure. Vice Chair Carollo: We approved it, but I think it's important to place in the record. First of all, we were forced to deal with this property not in the normal way that we would have because there was a contract with a lease that had been approved years back that none of us ever voted for. Commissioner Rosado: Right. Vice Chair Carollo: Furthermore, to add to this, because of a prior commissioner up here that convinced his colleagues to go along with a lawsuit, or should I say to pull the contract, there was a lawsuit created that ended up in a $28 million between cost and award, $21 million that the City had to pay. A big portion of that is being taken out of the rent. So, you add those, and then the last one, which is the most important one, you 're limited in what you could build there. Now, I don 't care where the land is, and I've always stated this, our most valuable piece of property in the city. But if you get that land and you could only plant trees, it's only going to be worth the value of what someone thinks for trees or a park, or what have you. So, the most that we could have looked at this and what it was worth was what they could build on it, taken aside, and including the lease that was entered into that we're bound by and the other deductions that I just mentioned. Now, the big difference here is about $1, 354,145, 000 plus. A lot of dollars between one and the other. But what we 're not even including is that by bringing this into a fee simple instead of just a lease, we will be getting an additional $2.3 billion approximately in additional property taxes throughout the life of this project. So, having seen these numbers, which is what I wanted to see what the numbers were when I asked for this, there's no question in my mind that we have made the right decision by voting for it. Commissioner Pardo: Thank you. Vice Chair Carollo: I just wanted to get it on the record. Commissioner Pardo: Thank you. Chair King: Thank you.

ENACTMENT NUMBER: R-25-0534 MOTION TO: Adopt with Modification(s) RESULT: ADOPTED WITH MODIFICATION(S) MOVER: Ralph "Rafael" Rosado, Commissioner SECONDER: Miguel Angel Gabela, Commissioner AYES: King, Carollo, Gabela, Pardo, Rosado Note for the Record: For additional minutes referencing Item Number RE.9, please see "Public Comments for all Item(s)." Chair King: Commissioner -- Commissioner Gabela: What's out there, RE.9, right? Chair King: Yeah, you pulled RE.9? Commissioner Gabela: Yeah, yeah. Chair King: Okay. You want to discuss? City of Miami Page 68 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Commissioner Pardo: Did you defer RE.12? Chair King: We can't do that one until after the Omni -- Commissioner Pardo: That's right, the meeting. Chair King: -- CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) meeting. Commissioner Pardo: Thank you. Commissioner Rosado: Madam Chair, and I beg your indulgence, but I know that there's a speaker here for PZ.14 who needs to leave. If there's a way to accommodate that if possible. Chair King: No, I don 't pull items -- Commissioner Rosado: Okay. Chair King: -- out of turn, but thank you. But perhaps we can get to it because we 're moving at a pretty good clip. Commissioner Gabela. Commissioner Gabela: Yeah. So, two things on RE.9 that I'm concerned about. Number one, where are the four million coming out of okay? And number two, you know, you mentioned motels along Southwest 8th Street, right? You know, four million today doesn 't buy you a lot of land. You know, I wonder how many motels do you plan to buy? I mean, you know, in today's prices, I mean, in today's world, four mil, I don't think that -- you know, and I see this more as a policing problem and a, that kind of problem than really, you know, start buying up, because the thing is, if reality sets in and you're going to start buying up the motels because of this situation and this, you know, behavior that's going on, the prostitution on Southwest 8th Street, hell, you 've got to have a lot more than $4 million to get that done. So, that's why I wanted to pull it. And then number two, where is the funds coming out on the foreign change? Commissioner Rosado: Yeah. While the manager gets staff to supplement on the financial front, your point is a good one. Commissioner Gabela: And I realize your point, by the way. Commissioner Rosado: Yeah. Commissioner Gabela: I realize what you're saying. I'm not against what you're trying to do. Commissioner Rosado: Yeah. So, really this checks off a couple of boxes. One of them is safety. So, District 4 is, by and large, very, very safe, except where we have 27 motels along -- principally along 8th Street and Flagler. I had my staff meet with the police chief and do a breakdown of where the crimes occur in the district and where they occur in the motels themselves. And we averaged out like how many crimes per door, per motel, right? So, just being larger doesn 't mean you 're necessarily less safe. City of Miami Page 69 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 But we've pinpointed which are the most dangerous, and we've begun conversations with several of the property owners. We have two motels that have had homicides in the last year and a half. Somebody purchased one of them to create an opportunity for longer -term housing. That's Hermanos de la Calle, they did that on their own. That was underway at the time that I was campaigning, so I really had no role in that. And they own it fully, and they operate it themselves. And we 're grateful for that, because it was a very, very dangerous place. We have others that are very dangerous as well, and some of them are willing to sell. And so it isn 't just safety, although that is very important. It's also the fact that we can provide long-term housing opportunities for folks at a very affordable price. So, what we've been doing is meeting with nonprofits located in Miami -Dade County. I don 't want to give anything away just yet until we finalize some deals, but it's nonprofits that you and I and all of us are very familiar with, as well as some for profits that are in the workforce and affordable housing industry, principally catering to folks that are senior citizens, and single mothers with children, and folks that are disabled. So, we're talking about folks that are the most vulnerable from a housing perspective of anybody in our community. Four million wouldn 't get us to buy -- I'm not looking to put in all the costs involved in any purchase, but I'm looking to partner with organizations and split the cost with them. There are non profits that are very actively seeking places to house the folks that they serve. There are for profits that are doing the same thing, so it's consistent with the items that we just approved just a few minutes ago in District 3 to be able to make some affordable and workforce housing deals viable. I'm looking to do the same thing, but in my particular situation, I'm looking to purchase existing properties, because that's really where we can make an impact, not only helping folks to have a stable roof over their heads, but also make District 4 safer. And the reason we 're setting this aside without tying it to a specific project is we want to know that we 've got the funding available to us so we can be at the negotiating table with a few of the folks we've been -- we've been talking to. Commissioner Gabela: No, I understand that. But my point is even if, if, if let's say you've got 27 hotels at 500K, which is probably, you know, not accurate, more like a mil or north of that is probably more accurate, that's 13.5 mil that you're going to need. And then on top of that, you 've got to convince those guys to sell out at that price. You got to convince them. You know, I see this more -- and I understand the reason. I'm not questioning the reason. I'm not questioning, you know, your judgment on why you want to do it. What I'm questioning is how to arrive at that. Commissioner Rosado: Yeah. Commissioner Gabela: But I heard your answer. Commissioner Rosado: Yeah. We're not looking -- but before we get to the financial analysis, we're not looking to purchase all of them by any stretch. And some of them have really no calls for service. But we're specifically laser focused on the ones where the police has to go very, very often -- Commissioner Gabela: So, the bad ones. Commissioner Rosado: -- and bad things are happening and some of those folks are willing to sell. And I'm not looking for, again, for the City of Miami to put in a hundred percent of the purchase. We've got folks that want to partner with us, but we need to be able to let them know what we have at our disposal to enter into deals. City of Miami Page 70 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Commissioner Gabela: Thank you. Commissioner Rosado: But I appreciate the questions. Chair King: Madam CFO (Chief Financial Officer). Erica Paschal -Darling: Good afternoon, Commissioner, Erica Paschal -Darling. The sources identified for the HUGS (Housing Underserved Groups Safely) program were 500,000 from D4 (District 4) Housing Assistance and 2.8 of HOME (Home Investment Partnership Program) ARP (American Rescue Plan) funds. There was a million dollars identified previously, but there are some discrepancies in the use of those funds that we need to reconcile. Commissioner Rosado: And that was the Bayfront dollars that have been referenced, and I'm happy to leave that out of the equation if that gives everybody comfort. The rest of it -- Commissioner Pardo: Yeah, that should be left out of the equation. Commissioner Gabela: I agree. Commissioner Rosado: I'm fine with that; I'm fine with that. Chair King: So, do I have a motion for RE.9 as amended? Commissioner Gabela: Yeah. I'm going to go along with it, but I don 't want any funny business of the, four mil or four and a half dipping into somebody else 's thing. So, I'm stating it on the record. Commissioner Rosado: Yeah, absolutely. Commissioner Gabela: I'm going on goodwill here, you know, to take care of your problem, but I'll state on the record, no funny business on the four and a half mil whether it's going to be gotten that it affects another commissioner's district. Chair King: Okay. So, it's as amended to not include any Bayfront Park money. Commissioner Rosado: Yeah, that's fine. Commissioner Pardo: Correct. Commissioner Gabela: Or other commissioner's pot. Chair King: Or other commissioners -- Commissioner Rosado: Yeah. Commissioner Gabela: That's designated to that commissioner or district. City of Miami Page 71 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 RE.10 18591 Commissioners and Mayor Chair King: Right. Well, that couldn 't happen anyway. Okay.

Commissioner Gabela: That's what I thought. Chair King: Oh, who pulled that for -- I'm sorry, you pulled that for discussion. Vice Chair. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you, Madam Chair. I just have a question to the City Attorney. George Wysong (City Attorney): Yes, sir. Vice Chair Carollo: Mr. City Attorney, my concern here is that I don 't want to see the City in the future end up with more liabilities, more suits, and more paying out by anything that we could be changing here. Is there a need for us to make any changes here? I see that this came from the Civil Service Board, didn 't come from anybody up here. There's no sponsor up here. So, I don't know if this is something that is needed or not and if it's going to put the City is -- in harm 's way in the future. Mr. Wysong: Thank you, Commissioner. Commissioner Gabela: Yeah, I have the same -- the same -- Mr. Wysong: I'll have my deputy, Kevin Jones -- Kevin Jones (Deputy City Attorney): Madam Chair, members of the Commission -- Mr. Wysong: -- address it. Mr. Jones: -- good morning -- it's afternoon; good afternoon. This is not our item. This was put on by the Civil Service Board, and as we explained, we already have a system in place that I think works the way it should, so I can 't speak to why they believe it needs to be changed. If that answers your question, or do you have a --? City of Miami Page 90 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Vice Chair Carollo: I think it does. Could this potentially put the City in more of a harmful potential into the future? Mr. Jones: Well, I think the system we have in place works perfectly fine. And again, I'm not sure why there needed to be a clarification, why they believe there needed to be a clarification, but to the extent of future liability, the system we have in place would -- deals with that sufficiently. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Chair King: Commissioner Pardo? Commissioner Pardo: Yeah, I just had a -- are you -- does this hurt us in any way from a legal perspective? Mr. Jones: I don 't have a crystal ball, but I wouldn 't think so, right? Commissioner Pardo: So, if it doesn 't hurt us and this is coming from one of our civic boards, is there just any harm in acknowledging their service and go ahead and adopting this? Mr. Jones: That would be up to this body, right? Commissioner Pardo: Okay. Commissioner Gabela: Are there any administrative costs associated with this extra because of this move here or is there anything else? You know, does this prolong, you know, the process that we already have in place, which in turn will cost us more money, no? Mr. Jones: I don 't believe so, but again, this isn 't our item. This was put on by the Civil Service Board. Commissioner Rosado: Mr. Attorney, what's the recommendation? What's the staff recommendation on this? Mr. Jones: The staff recommendation or our office? Our office is -- Commissioner Rosado: Your office. Vice Chair Carollo: Your office staff on this. Mr. Jones: I think the system -- I think the system in place works perfectly fine. I can tell from the fact that they put this on that they want to make it clearer. I don 't think there needs to be any clarification. But again, the ultimate decision is -- would be up to -- would be up to you guys. Mr. Wysong: And perhaps to clear up some of the unclear issues, perhaps it could be City of Miami Page 91 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 deferred so that the -- Commissioner Rosado: Yes. Mr. Wysong: -- Civil Service Board could come and tell you why they think this is absolutely necessary. Commissioner Pardo: That's a good idea. Commissioner Rosado: Yeah. Chair King: May I have a motion to defer -- Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Commissioner Pardo: Thank you. Vice Chair Carollo: Motion to defer. Commissioner Rosado: Yes. Chair King: -- to February, second meeting in February? I have a motion; do I have a second? Commissioner Rosado: Second. Chair King: All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye.

Chair King: Commissioner Rosado, do you have any? Commissioner Rosado: I do. I would like to defer to January 22nd FR.4, FR.5, FR. 7, and FR.8. I would actually like, I'm going to amend that slightly, but each of the fee related items that I had requested deferrals to January 22nd, I'd like them to be combined into an omnibus fee agenda item, one item that covers all of them. I'm sure that can be done. Chair King: Commissioner? Commissioner Pardo: Madam Chair, I know that these -- they've been working on this a long time to try to increase our fees. This is the first reading item. It 's going to come back for a second reading between first and second. Commissioner Rosado, is that enough time for you to be able to kind of get the information you need on the increases or --? Commissioner Rosado: It is. I think the manager is going to say something, but I've requested previously that the items be lumped together into one item. Chair King: I don't want to lump the fee items into one. I'd like to keep them separate because it will get lost. So, I'd like to keep them separate. But he is requesting that we defer FR.4, 5, 7, and 8. I have a motion for that. Do I have a second? Commissioner Gabela: So, what are we doing again here? Chair King: He would like to defer FR.4. Commissioner Rosado would like to defer City of Miami Page 93 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 FR.4, 5, 7, and 8. Commissioner Gabela: Okay, so you're not comfortable with the second reading that he was talking about, the change between now and the second reading? Commissioner Rosado: Is there really no way to do this as one omnibus fee change rather than --? Arthur Noriega (City Manager): The only way -- when we had our briefing, one of the things we discussed was a desire in the future to do it as a consolidated effort, maybe do it during the mid year. And we were going to -- we'll certainly look into that. To do what you 're requesting, we'd have to withdraw them all and then reintroduce them again as one big piece of legislation. I mean, that's -- Commissioner Rosado: I move to withdraw each of these items and each of the others that we had that are fee -related that were deferred to January 22nd so that they can come back as one omnibus item on January 22nd. Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Okay, I'm sorry, Chair. So, I need to make sure this motion is clear. So, you're making a motion to a draw at least four -- FR.4, 5, 7, and 8 and anything else? Chair King: No, FR (First Reading) -- SR.2 -- SR.1 was deferred already to January 22nd. So, that's -- we can 't include that. Commissioner Rosado: But if -- if we are in fact creating one item that covers all these things, could we not include those as well? Chair King: That's not the motion on the floor. The motion on the floor now is to withdraw 4, 5, 7, and 8. That's the motion on the floor. Mr. Hannon: And then, Chair, for the other items, you would have to reconsider them Chair King: Right. Mr. Hannon: -- because they've already been deferred. Chair King: Right, because it's already been deferred. So, I have a motion to withdraw 4, 5, 7, and 8. Do I have a second? Motion fails for lack of second. Are there any other items that you would like to pull for discussion? I only have FR.2 pulled for discussion. Commissioner Rosado: And I'd also like to pull FR. 6. Chair King: FR.6, okay, pull FR.6. Okay. May I have a motion for FR.3, 4, 5, 7, and 8? Commissioner Pardo: So move. City of Miami Page 94 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Chair King: I have a motion and a second. Commissioner Gabela: Sorry, guys. Mr. Hannon: Would you also mind including 11? Chair King: Oh, I'm sorry. I missed it. FR -- Commissioner Gabela: So, 3 through 11, right? Chair King: 3, 4, 5 -- not 6; he's pulled that for discussion -- 7, 8, and 11. All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Chair King: Motion carries unanimously.

Hannon (City Clerk): Chair, we still have DI.1. Commissioner Rosado: Oh, that's -- so that was supposed to come back. Because when we approved it some months back, I think it was -- there was a date by which the staff had to bring us up to speed. This is the program that the commission created to allow 50 percent discounts on any permits that involve weatherproofing or future proofing of homes, energy efficiency, impact windows, generators, et cetera. And I think the messaging has already started to go out on this. I've had lots of questions. I think, at least from my perspective, the only thing that I would add to this is that I had a resident from Tamiami Canal Road ask if seawalls were going to be discounted. And technically that wasn't in one of the categories, but it should be, so I'd like this amended to include seawalls to be discounted as well. Other than that, I have nothing else to add. Commissioner Gabela: Which is this one again? I'm sorry. Commissioner Rosado: The storm proof assistance value enhancement program we approved a few months back. Commissioner Gabela: No, no, but DI (Discussion Item) what? Commissioner Rosado: Oh, DI.1. Commissioner Gabela: Oh, DI.1. Okay, thank you, got it. Commissioner Rosado: Yeah. And it came back because I think we had put in there for them to report back before the end of the year. That's why it's on there. Ed Santamaria: Good afternoon, Commissioner. Ed Santamaria, Building Director. I know I'm keeping you from lunch and other engagements, so I'll be very, very brief Connection to the seawalls, there is some guidance provided on that in the existing legislation, which includes other sustainable and resilient improvements. Seawalls can be considered that. Commissioner Rosado: Perfect. Mr. Santamaria: And so, basically, we have a framework in place. We 've put in some system enhancements that will be deployed on January of next year. And we'll be able to move forward with the pilot program, which will be for a year. There 's a marketing City of Miami Page 113 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Commissioners and Mayor and educational component that we have put together, and that's maybe why, Commissioner, you've been getting some outreach. As to the estimated costs to the city on a yearly basis as a result of this program, we 're looking at about $490, 000, which will be savings that will be -- that folks will experience if they participate in this program, which incentivizes this type of construction for qualifying improvements. There is also some metrics that we'll be looking at. How much, you know, cost of construction, timeframes for reviews, because it also asks that the permit reviews for these particular qualifying items is expedited. And so, we'll be reporting on that as things move forward. We will have to provide some sort of legislative guidance by way probably of a resolution to adjust the fees in connection to these work items. Any questions? Chair King: No, thank you. Commissioner Rosado: Thank you. Mr. Hannon: And Chair, briefly, for the record, for DI.1, there's a backup document being submitted to the record by the city manager consisting of a memo dated December 1st, 2025. Thank you, Chair. Chair King: Thank you. That shall conclude -- Commissioner Pardo: And just so you know, we'll have an item coming up in January that deals with living seawalls, so it might play into that as well. Unidentified Speaker: Perfect. Chair King: Thank you. That shall conclude the City of Miami Commission meeting for December 11 th, 2025. I'll see you guys next year. Everyone have a happy and safe holiday. Commissioner Pardo: Happy holidays. Chair King: Thank you. DI.2 DISCUSSION ITEM 18603 A DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING THE CITY-WIDE TPO PRIORITIES. L RESULT: DISCUSSED Chair King: At this time, we are -- we have discussion items. Vice Chair Carollo: Yes. Chair King: DI.1. Commissioner Pardo: You want me to do mine real quick? It's -- City of Miami Page 114 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Chair King: Which one is yours? Commissioner Pardo: Transportation Planning Organization, TPO. Chair King: Um-hmm, okay. Commissioner Pardo: It's really just to let everyone know that if you have any issues involving transportation, you know, the highways, anything at all in your districts, to please make sure to forward them to the city manager because I'm currently representing the city of Miami on that board, and I want to make sure that we're taking into account all the districts, and we're looking at any situation you may have in your district, so please make sure -- Chair King: Well, I do. I'm going to tell you now. Commissioner Pardo: Okay. Chair King: I've requested that the trolley go -- extend to the northern border of District -- Commissioner Pardo: 79th? Chair King: -- go all the way up from Biscayne Boulevard. We 're not on Biscayne Boulevard. I got some pushback, I understand, from the County about that, and I also want to put Freebee in the Upper Eastside to benefit the businesses on Biscayne Boulevard, and I got pushback from that. And the explanation was it was duplicative services, but our neighborhoods have, throughout the city of Miami, the trolley and Freebee. So, I don't understand how it's duplicative services in our neighborhood on the Upper Eastside. And every neighborhood has mass transit, the bus station, and everyone knows, like, people who are living in Liberty City and working on the Upper Eastside, they can 't get there, and that's not fair. And we can, with Freebee, pull residents from Wynwood, Midtown to come and visit our restaurants in the Upper Eastside. So, I would ask you -- Commissioner Pardo: Yeah. Chair King: -- to strongly, strongly advocate on our behalf so that I can get Freebee and the trolley to come up Biscayne Boulevard. Commissioner Pardo: Thank you. I absolutely will. Chair King: Thank you. Commissioner Pardo: Thank you. Commissioner Gabela: And let me add to the list while we're at it. Commissioner Pardo: Yeah. City of Miami Page 115 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Commissioners and Mayor Commissioner Gabela: That I, too, when I came into office last year, I submitted a plan to the County for more trolley and there was one route -- there was one route in particular on Northwest 7th Street that goes from 12th Avenue northwest going westward bound to 57th Avenue. When it gets to 57th Avenue, it makes a left-hand turn going southward on 57th Avenue. The complaint is from all these senior citizens that use it is that there's no return on that same route. And what we asked is that that trolley either be returned when it gets to 57th Ave., it goes all the way east again to 12th Ave., that's one of them. So, that we asked for in the early -- that was one of my first things that I promised on the campaign trail, and we did. The second one is, Commissioner Pardo, that to make up for the Number 6 route, which was retired about five or six years ago, okay, I promised those seniors centers that it would be replaced with a trolley. And the deal was that the County retired that route because it wasn 't used enough, you know, and the bus was too big, it was always empty. And I think the trolley will fit it very well because it's half the size of one of those big buses. And so, I would ask you to please -- because we also submitted that plan. And every time I go to the Three Towers, Dante Fascell, or any of those buildings, they ask me, hey, what about Number 6? What about what you promised? And we've been at it working for the County now for almost two years. Commissioner Pardo: I definitely will. Thank you. Commissioner Gabela: Thank you very much. Chair King: Thank you. Does that conclude that discussion item? Commissioner Pardo: Yes. DI.3 DISCUSSION ITEM 18589 A DISCUSSION REGARDING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS SITE. CRESULT: DISCUSSED J Note, for the Record: For directive referencing Item DI.3, please refer to Item NA.1. Chair King: How about police department headquarter site? Whose item is that? Commissioner Rosado: I placed that on the agenda again because I know that the last time we discussed it a few meetings back, the Administration will be coming back with some information regarding two different items. One was there was a request to see if we could renovate or replace the building on the site. And I know that the other request was whether traffic analysis had been done. My understanding is traffic analysis is still underway. When I say traffic analysis, I'm talking about moving the headquarters specifically to the Miami Freedom Park property. And the other consideration was about analysis of keeping it on site. I know that that information is available. Chair King: So, what's the question? City of Miami Page 116 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Commissioner Rosado: I think they're going to update us on that. Andrew Frey (Director, Department of Real Estate and Asset Management): So, commissioners don 't want to get in the way of the discussion, but I wanted to quickly run through just a couple of items from last time, right? So, this is what we had presented and circulated last time, the analysis of the two -- initial two sites that we looked at, which was Biscayne Park and Freedom Park. So, this was the analysis I think that you guys previously saw. The different locations, the -- sorry, the Freedom Park location, Biscayne Park location. We went through some pros and cons. And then that was the showing the building in context at the Freedom Park location and the similar building in context here at Biscayne Park. So, at the last discussion, Commissioner Carollo asked us to take a look at whether it would be possible to basically rebuild a new public safety headquarters on some portion of the existing current police headquarters building, I guess, specifically in the location of the garage, which is to be demolished. So, we did look at that and had the same consultant, same architectural consultant, look at that. They looked at a couple different configurations here, which I'm putting up on the screen. One which has the garage on the north and then a new public safety building kind of in dogleg shape going on the south side, some potential floor plans there. This is then another option showing parking and public safety building space side by side. So, technically, it does work, or it does fit. I would say work is a strong word. These are some of the floor plans that they were looking at there. So, in summary, and again, you guys, happy to hear your discussion. And maybe you'll even take a vote and give us some direction, which would be outstanding. From the administration standpoint, looking at the three sites, just kind of our bullet points, throwing them up on the screen. The existing police headquarters site, like I said, based on our architectural consultant, it is possible, it results in a building that, as you saw, kind of had that dogleg shape or is kind of squeezed in side by side. It's a pretty inefficient design, which results in higher construction costs. And, really, the bigger problem with doing it on the existing police headquarters site is, then it would preclude our ability to monetize that site. And that site, we had two appraisals done, and one of the appraisals came out at $80 million, or $79 million. The other appraisal came in at 69 -- $69, 800, 000, so roughly $70 million. So, we were really seeing that existing police headquarters site as an opportunity to monetize, take advantage of the significant development rights there. I think it's T6-48, right? We're not going to build a 48-story public safety building. So, those development rights would otherwise go unused. Can we monetize that either through sale or a 99-year lease, take that $80 million of value and put it towards the construction of the new public safety building, which helped defray the costs. So, that's kind of our thought process on the existing police headquarter site. Yes, it's theoretically possible. However, it's a pretty inefficient building and it handcuffs us in terms of monetizing that site to help pay for the construction. Biscayne Park, we kind of went through the issues last time. It's only three blocks from the bay. The site would be in a flood zone, subject to storm surge, subject to, you know, flooding damage, and kind of right exactly when you would need -- most need your police and headquarters -- fire headquarters, it would kind of be inaccessible, probably surrounded by debris, floating cars, things like that. Freedom Park, on the other hand, it's zoned CI (Commercial Industrial). There's nothing -- you know, there's no commercial development that we could do anywhere, so we 're not foregoing any revenue. It's geographically centrally located. I understand it's not in our downtown, but in terms of looking at the overall geography of Miami, it's fairly centrally located. It has excellent highway access to the 836, the 112, quick access to the 95, outside of the flood zone. We would create a city campus there with the two buildings, the new administration building as well as the public safety building. So, you 'd have the synergy there and the efficiency of just everyone being able to be in one place. And it would allow us to then monetize both the existing police headquarters, which I mentioned we had two appraisals done and the values are between 70 and $79 City of Miami Page 117 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 million. And the fire headquarters, which we haven 't appraised, but I think would contribute, you know, tens of millions additional towards construction. So, weighing all the factors, we sort of -- we come down with a recommendation for the Freedom Park site. And just as a final note, if you could take a vote today or some kind of direction for us to move forward with that site. The main -- my main point is that I think our police and fire folks have, you know, sort of suffered long enough in their existing facilities. Both they and the people of Miami deserve a new police and fire headquarters as soon as possible. And so, the sooner we can take that step with that direction on a site, the sooner we can deliver that for the people of our city. So, thank you.

ENACTMENT NUMBER: R-25-0546 MOTION TO: Adopt RESULT: ADOPTED MOVER: Joe Carollo, Commissioner SECONDER: Damian Pardo, Commissioner AYES: King, Carollo, Gabela, Pardo, Rosado Chair King: Mr. Vice Chair. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you for the complete analysis that I had asked for. It's clear the Biscayne site, Biscayne Park site, is out of the question for the reasons you stated. So, you're left with the existing police headquarters and the Freedom Park site, where you have won me over to the Freedom Park site, that is not as centrally located as you say. If you look at it in the picture of the county, it is, and it does have good highway movement. But it's an area that we're not taking any new property out of the tax roll, because this has not been in the tax roll, it's been ours. Where you really have convinced me on the Freedom Park site is in the amount that's going to be 75, $80 million that we should be able to get for the site of the present police headquarters. And how many acres is the fire department's site right now? Andrew Frey (Director, Department of Real Estate and Asset Management) : I don 't know off the top of my head. I can certainly get that for you, but it is a good-sized site right there on the Miami River, so it's pretty high value. Vice Chair Carollo: I -- and I don 't want to take a guess, but that's going to be in the tens of millions of dollars. Mr. Frey: Yeah. Vice Chair Carollo: So, you know, you might be in a position that you could pay at least for half the amount of some $200 million that might cost for new police/fire headquarters. Mr. Frey: Yeah. City of Miami Page 137 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Vice Chair Carollo: Do you have any amounts that you could share with us and your present guess of what it would cost to build? Mr. Frey: Yeah, so ballpark, I think it's a roughly the same size building as our new administration building. And that's coming in in the area of $300 million. So, I'm guessing it's going to be another $300 million building. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, so if you could bring in -- Mr. Frey: If we get a third of that from -- yeah. Vice Chair Carollo: Maybe a third or close to a third. That's a big difference. Mr. Frey: Yeah. Vice Chair Carollo: The only question that we would have to work out is traffic into the future. Mr. Frey: Absolutely. Vice Chair Carollo: When you have big events there, but anybody that could get through traffic a lot easier and quicker are police vehicles. Mr. Frey: Sure. And I think the roll call times are not really aligned with peak traffic, so that's one mitigating factor. Vice Chair Carollo: But eventually -- Mr. Frey: Yeah. Vice Chair Carollo: -- I think we're going to have to add maybe a couple of additional small substations in different parts. And I'm willing to move forward and ask -- Mr. Frey: Thank you. Vice Chair Carollo: -- what you requested. Make a motion to approve the Freedom Park site to include the new Police Fire Administrative Building. Mr. Frey: Thank you, Commissioner. Chair King: Commissioner Gabela? Commissioner Gabela: Yeah, I'm halfway convinced. I agree the Biscayne Boulevard site, because of the flooding issue, is not a, you know, good site to consider. Considering the construction costs, you 're going to go -- have to go up and start from there, so you 're going to lose about two floors or one floor in the bottom, I got that. City of Miami Page 138 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 The only problem I have is the traffic situation, that I've got to take care of those neighbors that are already going to contend with the traffic situation that's going to be now coming on April the 1st with the opening of the park. So, I -- if these concerns and the studies on these, you know, before moving forward, I'd like to have some assurances of how we're going to take care of the traffic situation. Also, what we talked about, the noise, that, you know, there should be some kind of rule that, you know, you get outside and there's a perimeter somewhat that you can, you know, put your siren on. But before moving forward, and I agree with Commissioner Carollo, this probably is the best site, although it is a little bit to the west. It's a lot to the west. That's the only bad thing. I would ask that before we proceed, you know, to say finally yes to have this, you know, I need assurances here of a traffic study, of the whole thing. I can 't just, you guys can 't, you know, it's my area, it's my District 1. I mean, I got to make sure those property owners, you know, and let me have a town hall. Vice Chair Carollo: Commissioner. Commissioner Gabela: Let me have a town hall to see what the feeling is, what they 're going to ask for. Vice Chair Carollo: Commissioner, would you be satisfied in a motion that would be subject to your satisfaction of a traffic study? Commissioner Gabela: Absolutely. Yes, I would. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, so can we amend a motion to -- Commissioner Gabela: And let me have a town hall, at least Commissioner Carollo. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah. Commissioner Gabela: So I can explain to people what we're thinking. Vice Chair Carollo: Alright, so -- Chair King: Maybe we shouldn 't make a motion until after his town hall meeting. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, but it's a motion that it will be up to Commissioner Gabela 's satisfaction after he gets the information on traffic studies and flow and that he has his town hall meeting. Commissioner Gabela: Yeah, that's fine with me. As long as it's put into the record and then what you 're thinking of is to get the ball rolling. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, exactly. Chair King: I see the manager's hand up. Arthur Noriega (City Manager): Yeah, so let me, I think, frame it in a way that Commissioner Gabela can be comfortable with. And I think what it is is what we're City of Miami Page 139 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 really looking for is direction, right? And the direction is, hey, let's proceed forward with these conditions, right? Which is, you know, you got to satisfy that the traffic study is -- takes into consideration and evaluates and implements a plan that reduces and minimizes the impacts to the neighborhood, number one. Number two, also that we create a venue or a platform for you to have a town hall or a public meeting that we can invite the residents to, walk them through, literally, you know, the benefits of having a facility like that actually adjacent to their neighborhood because there are some advantages to that, too. And then we can walk them through what this project means for them, and then that way you get some assurances that the public is comfortable with it and bought into it, but at least gives us some direction, like a path. Commissioner Gabela: So, the way I view it is we're moving forward. We're moving the ball. We're not just talking, but it's also not set in stone. Mr. Frey: Absolutely. Vice Chair Carollo: No, exactly. Commissioner Gabela: It's also not set in stone. Mr. Frey: Absolutely, Commissioner. Vice Chair Carollo: You will decide -- Mr. Frey: Yes. Vice Chair Carollo: -- ultimately -- Mr. Frey: Yes. Vice Chair Carollo: -- as you come back. Commissioner Gabela: That's fine with me. Vice Chair Carollo: And you'll say if the traffic study is sufficient, if your town hall meeting, your neighbors were in agreement. Commissioner Gabela: That's fine with me. Vice Chair Carollo: I will say this to you. You're going to make that neighborhood the safest neighborhood in the whole city of Miami. Commissioner Gabela: I agree, I agree. Thank you, Commissioner. Chair King: I have a -- I have a motion. Do I have a second? Commissioner Pardo: Second. City of Miami Page 140 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 Chair King: I have a motion and a second. All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Chair, public comment? Chair King: Oh, I'd like to open that up for public comment. Commissioner Gabela: As amended, Todd, with everything we spoke. Mr. Hannon: Understood. James Torres: Good afternoon, James Torres, president of DNA (Downtown Neighbors Alliance). My only concern with the debate that just happened here is if that facility is moved out to Freedom Park area, what's going to happen in downtown in terms of having better coverage or a substation. So, I think that needs to be kind of talked about or debated here. Vice Chair Carollo: I'm going to tell you right off the bat -- Commissioner Pardo: We have the Eastern District and it wouldn't -- it won't make a difference. Vice Chair Carollo: You do. But, Commissioner, I'm going to suggest something to you that might work out fine. The monies in Maurice Ferre Park that comes from the Omni CRA, they're limited in the use that you could have. Commissioner Pardo: Capital, yeah. Vice Chair Carollo: As Commissioner Gabela knows, we have serious problems with the present office of Bayfront Park. But even if we didn 't, it's obsolete and you could use that land to make so much more money for Bayfront Park and the City by getting rid of that, all obsolete offices there. Where you have the money already that you could do construction is in Ferre Park, behind the parking area, in that building that we could cover from the back, the water and sewer, whatever building the county has there. You could build back there without taking any of the parkland. You could build your new offices for Bayfront Park then you could include, without going high, because you don't want to block anybody's view, the new police substation so that it's right in the heart of downtown, and also protecting one of our main parks in the city. So, that's just an idea for the future for you guys. Commissioner Pardo: That's a good idea. I mean, when I talked to the chief about this, he's like, you know, people think that when you have administration somewhere that all the police are there, but they're actually out in all their geographic areas all the time. There's very few people actually there, you know, in a concentrated way. Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah. So, you'll know the amount of square feet that you have in land there that you could build. If you include the area that I just described, it's hilly and it's not useful at all, behind the parking, in other words, between the parking area that we have and the water and sewer plant there, then you include into that the City of Miami Page 141 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 actual concrete parking spaces that you have. You have a square area of well over 50,000 square feet. So -- and if you do a little bit of an L-shape, you could have 60,000 square feet. So, you have plenty of room to be able to move a substation there. Heck, you could even put a small fire station if need be right in front of all the buildings. And move the Bayfront Park office there in the future. And then you have access into dollars that, let's be honest, I know that back before any of us were here, that was thought about and given to Maurice Ferre Park. But, you know, there's so much that you could do with that money there. That's why it's been sitting there, so much of it. And that money, you could use for something that's really going to service and help the people of downtown Miami. And at the same time, create additional major multi -million dollar a year revenue streams from the property that then you will have available to develop that will be in the area where the old Bayfront Park office are at. Just an idea for you guys in the future to look at. Commissioner Pardo: Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. So -- Mr. Torres: Did you want me to finish? Chair King: Yes. Mr. Torres: Thank you. Chair King: Yes, I'm sorry. Mr. Torres: I just think in the spirit of debate, Commissioner Pardo is correct. The Eastern Division does exist, but that should be housed in a substation in downtown somewhere. And it should be maybe included in this conversation because we all know the ever -changing population in downtown is a huge issue. So, Commissioner Gabela, if you can maybe amend or try to do something on that, it would be greatly appreciated on that. Thank you. Chair King: Thank you. Thank you for your advocacy. So -- what? (COMMENTS MADE OFF THE RECORD) Chair King: I know, I know, I know. Mr. Noriega: Oh, okay, I just want to make sure. Chair King: Okay, listen -- Mr. Noriega: I don 't want Ed to feel, you know, slighted over here. Poor guy. Chair King: Right. So, I think we have a motion to give staff the directive to explore the option, right? Mr. Frey: Yes. City of Miami Page 142 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 NA.2 18654 City Commission Chair King: Have a motion? Todd. Mr. Hannon: Just for the record, the public hearing was closed at 2: 07. Chair King: Yes. Okay. Unidentified Speaker: Motion. Chair King: So, I have a motion and a second. All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Chair King: Motion carries. We have one more pocket -- Mr. Frey: Thank you so much. Chair King: -- item. Vice Chair Carollo: Yes. RESOLUTION A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION DESIGNATING THE CITY -OWNED PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1510 SOUTHWEST 7TH STREET, MIAMI, FLORIDA ("PROPERTY"), FOR USE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF FIRE - RESCUE FOR FIRE -RESCUE OPERATIONS AND PUBLIC PARKING, PROVIDING THAT, IF PUBLIC PARKING CANNOT BE DEVELOPED ON THE PROPERTY, THE PROPERTY MAY ALSO BE USED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING PURPOSES; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO TAKE ALL NECESSARY ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS TO IMPLEMENT SUCH USES. ENACTMENT NUMBER: R-25-0547 MOTION TO: Adopt RESULT: ADOPTED MOVER: Miguel Angel Gabela, Commissioner SECONDER: Joe Carollo, Commissioner AYES: King, Carollo, Gabela, Pardo, Rosado Chair King: I mean, we have one more discussion item. We have one more discussion item. Commissioner Pardo: And a pocket. Chair King: And a pocket item. Mr. City Attorney, could you read the title of the pocket item into the record? George Wysong (City Attorney): Yes, Madam Chair. Pocket item. City of Miami Page 143 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 The Resolution was read by title into the public record by the City Attorney. Mr. Wysong: Thank you. Chair King: Okay, I'd like to open the floor for public comment on this public item if anybody would like to speak on behalf of this item. Seeing none, public comment period is closed. Gentlemen, may I have a --? Commissioner Gabela: Motion. Chair King: I have a motion. Do I have a second? Vice Chair Carollo: Second. Chair King: I have a motion and a second. Commissioner Par -- Rosado. Commissioner Rosado: Madam Chair, just because I read this quickly, I think this is a great idea, but is it being positioned as either parking or housing, or is there a possibility of doing all of the above? Vice Chair Carollo: It's impossible to do all the above there. The Fire Department, the Fire Chief has expressed the need for another station in the area of Little Havana. We always thought that we could do public parking and some affordable housing in that area. However, the way that you'll be able to do it now is because you 've got to go two stories high, maybe slightly more to -- for the fire department. And then on top o.f that, you might have to give them another floor for the area where they 'll have their sleeping rooms and their kitchens, et cetera. So, you 're going to lose three floors, if not four, for the fire department's use. You could only go up to 12 stories there, and you've got 8 more stories for parking. The parking component, which is so badly needed in that area, because businesses can 't -- they can 't move forward and better themselves, and you can 't add new business if you don 't have parking. Off-street parking has to come in. That's what they're there for. And they could probably rent a big portion of that right off the bat with valet parking. Now, that all the people that valet park in there will pay them so they could park in that building because they can 't .find any places for it. And that's the biggest problem that that entertainment area has. Nobody could find parking. So, what happens is they go around, they go around, and finally they get tired and they leave. They don 't go to the restaurants, the businesses that we have there. And many of them don 't ever come back because they know they can 't get parking. So, this would accomplish that. Now, the way that you could probably do what you stated is by extending our land 100 percent of what we have there. And how do you do that? You 've all seen Jose Marti Park and the gym that you got the overhang that's high. Well, you could do an overhang there over 15th Avenue, two stories tall enough for the fire engines to come. And then you put pillars in the other side by the sidewalk, which is very wide. And you could put pillars there, they're sufficient. And then you gain all that area in the street all the way back. So, you gain another 7,500 square feet. And now you 've got double the land, where you could put parking, and then right at the top, you could put affordable housing. But this is something for you guys to consider how to do it in the future. You know, you could end up with double the land and accomplish what you want, which I think would be the ideal thing to do. City of Miami Page 144 Printed on 02/12/2026 City Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2025 ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Rosado: No, I think this is a great idea. And the reason I asked, if instead of being sort of either or, if it could be all of the above, is that there 's a very successful fire station with residential units project right by my house. Vice Chair Carollo: But it could only be done in the way that I stated, by expanding it more, which would be easy to do, and that's the bottom line. Chair King: Okay. Vice Chair Carollo: And it will benefit everybody in that area. Commissioner Pardo: But is this something we should just have on the regular agenda or deal with it? Chair King: Well, we -- I have a motion and a second for the pocket item so let's -- and this is the last thing. Commissioner Pardo: Okay. Chair King: So, I have a motion and a second. All in favor? The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Chair King: Motion carries unanimously. Thank you all. Vice Chair Carollo: Thank you. Chair King: Thank you, everybody. Happy holidays. The meeting was adjourned at 2:15 p.m. City of Miami Page 145 Printed on 02/12/2026
