00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:02,100
we know that

00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:03,100
without you anything is going

29
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:04,100
to happen here in Doral. God

with humility and a cry

35
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:14,100
for our city. Lord, bring unity

00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:16,100
to our streets,

among our families and

38
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:23,100
within our leaders. Let the

39
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:25,100
walls of division fall and

40
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:26,100
raise up a spirit

41
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:28,100
of love and fellowship. Your

42
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:30,401
word said in Psalms 131:1

43
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:34,100
behold how good and how

44
00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:36,100
pleasant it is for rhythm

45
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:39,100
of will together in unity. May

46
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:41,100
that unity be the song

47
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:44,601
of our streets and the peace

48
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:48,100
of our homes. We pray

49
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:50,100
for renewed faith

50
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:52,100
in our hearts,

51
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:53,100
a living faith that

52
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:54,100
transformed,

53
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:56,100
that bring light where they're

54
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:58,401
in darkness, as Hebrews 11:1

55
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:00,100
declares now,

56
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:01,100

of things hoped for,

58
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:06,100
the evidence

59
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:08,100
of things not seen. May that

60
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:10,100
faith take root

61
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:11,100
in every corner of our city.

62
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:13,100
Today we especially cry out

63
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:15,100
of the mental health

64
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:18,100
of our youth. Lord, many walk

65
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:20,100
with invisible boundaries,

66
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:24,100
with silent pain. You are the

67
00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:27,100
God who sings and heals as

68
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:28,100
written in the Psalms 34:18.

69
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:31,601
The Lord is close to the

70
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:35,401
brokenhearted and saves those

71
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:39,100
who are crushed in spirit.

Bring rest,

for depression, filled

76
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:50,601
with purpose and peace. May our

77
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:53,100
youth know that in you there is

78
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:56,601
hope and that they are never

79
00:02:57,100 --> 00:03:00,100
alone. In the powerful name

80
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:05,100

it's not my understanding,

165
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:42,100
you remove 9b.

166

00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:29,100
in a respectful manner

195
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:30,100
to this council. We'll go ahead

196
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:32,401
and start with Adelaide

197
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:36,401
Ferro. Ferro. Sorry. Adelis

198
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:39,100
Ferro. Name and address

199
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:41,401
for the record, please.

200
00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:44,100
>> Thank you so much. Good

201
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:47,100
morning. My name is Adelis

202
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:58,100
Ferro. I am a proud

203
00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:00,100
Venezuelan American citizen. I

204
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:02,100
am here to speak of the tens

205
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:03,100
of thousands

206
00:08:03,100 --> 00:08:05,100
of immigrants who call Doral

207
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:07,100
home, many of whom now live

208
00:08:07,100 --> 00:08:08,100
in fear. I'm going to live

209
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:10,100
in fear because

210
00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:12,100
of a decision that will be made

211
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:13,100
by this very city government.

212
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:15,100
The city of Doral's decision

213
00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:18,100
to align with ICE marks a

214
00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:20,100
dangerous shift. One that

215
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:22,100
threatens the safety,

216
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:24,100
dignity and trust of the very

217
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:26,100
people who built this

218
00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:28,100
community. Let's be clear.

219
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:30,100
Over 30,000 Venezuelans live

220
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:32,100
in Doral. Many are

221
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:34,100
in the process of obtaining

222
00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:35,100
legal status right now. Many

223
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:37,100
fled political persecution,

224
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:40,100
not just seeking opportunity,

225
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:42,100
but but survival. Now this city

226
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:44,401
risk becoming a place

227
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:47,100
of fear. A place where going

228
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:49,100
to work, picking up a child

229
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:51,100
from school, or even reporting

230
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:53,100
a crime could lead

231
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:54,100
to detention or deportation.

232
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:57,100
Let me repeat that. Reporting a

233
00:08:57,100 --> 00:09:00,100
crime could lead to arrest.

234
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:03,100
Not because someone broke the

235
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:04,100
law, but because

236
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:06,100
of their immigration status.

237
00:09:06,100 --> 00:09:08,100
This doesn't just affect the

238
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:10,100
undocumented. It impacts

239
00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:11,100
families waiting on asylum,

240
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:13,100
TPS renewals and war permits.

241
00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:16,100
Families who fled regimes that

242
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:18,100
jail people

243
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:19,100
for their beliefs. And what

244
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:22,100
makes this even more painful,

245
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:23,100
every single one

246
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:25,100
of you sitting on these dice is

247
00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:27,100
either an immigrant or the

248
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:29,100
child of immigrants. You know

249
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:31,100
what it means

250
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:32,100
to leave everything behind

251
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:34,100
for a shot of freedom. You know

252
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:36,401
the fear, the hope,

253
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:38,100
the sacrifice. And yet today,

254
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:40,100
you turn your backs on those

255
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:43,100
walking the same path your

256
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:45,100
families once did. Turning

257
00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:47,100
Doral's police into an arm of

258
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:49,100
federal immigration enforcement

259
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:51,100
destroys trust. When people

260
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:53,100
fear the police,

261
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:56,100
they don't report crimes.

262
00:09:56,100 --> 00:09:57,100
Victims stay silent, witness

263
00:09:57,100 --> 00:09:59,100
disappear,

264
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:02,100
and we are all less safe.

265
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:04,100
Police are here

266
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:07,100
to protect and serve, not

267
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:09,100
to profile or deport. This

268
00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:10,100
decision doesn't make Doral

269
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:11,100
safer. It makes it silent,

270
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:12,100
suspicious, divided. This isn't

271
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:14,100
just morally wrong,

272
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:16,100
it's bad policy. And one day

273
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:18,100
you will look back and ask

274
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:20,100
yourself, did I stand

275
00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:23,100
on the right side of history?

276
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:25,401
There is still time

277
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:28,100
to do the right thing. But that

278
00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:30,100
time is running out. I and the

279
00:10:30,100 --> 00:10:33,100
people are watching. Thank you.

280
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:36,100
>> Thank you. Amanda

281
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:38,100
Sherlock.

282
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:44,100
>> Good morning, everyone.

283
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:46,100
Council members, Amanda

284
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:48,401
Sherlock. 9960 Costa Del Sol

285
00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:50,100
Boulevard. I have been a

286
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:52,100
resident of Doral for 20 years

287
00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:54,100
and a US citizen for 13. So,

288
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:56,100
yes,

289
00:10:56,100 --> 00:10:58,100
am I am an immigrant too. Our

290
00:10:58,100 --> 00:10:59,100
city council is supposed

291
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:01,100
to be a nonpartisan body

292
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:03,100
working

293
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:05,100
to improve the everyday lives

294
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:06,100
of us as residents of Doral.

295
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:07,100
Deputizing our police to become

296
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:09,100
mini ICE agents is not going

297
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:10,100
to accomplish that. It will not

298
00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:12,100
reduce traffic or the dust

299
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:14,100
from never ending construction.

300
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:16,100
Or prevent our children

301
00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:18,100
from getting run over because a

302
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:20,401
crosswalk signal has been

303
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:23,100
destroyed again by a semi truck

304
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:25,100
trailer ramping our sidewalks.

305
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:27,100
It will not fortify us for the

306
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:29,100
upcoming hurricane season or

307
00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:31,100
prevent flooding. I believe

308
00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:33,100
this will take up more

309
00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:35,100
of our police forces time.

310
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:37,100
They will have to do longer

311
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:39,100
background searches and hold

312
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:41,100
and detain people. They will

313
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:44,100
not be focused on what they

314
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:45,100
should be focused on,

315
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:46,100
which is making the lives

316
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:48,100
of the residents of Doral

317
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:49,100
safer. The memo says it will

318
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:51,401
have $0 fiscal impact. I

319
00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:54,100
disagree. Because our police

320
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:55,100
will be less effective and

321
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:57,100
ineffectiveness costs money. I

322
00:11:57,100 --> 00:11:59,100
don't want my tax dollars

323
00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:01,100
to go

324
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:03,100
to funding human rights abuses.

325
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:05,100
That is not something I agreed

326
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:06,100
to when I became a resident

327
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:08,100
of Doral over 20 years ago.

328
00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:11,100
It's bad enough it's already

329
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:13,100
happening with our federal tax

330
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:14,100
dollars. Instead of feeding

331
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:17,100
poor children or curing AIDS

332
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:19,100
in Africa, we are now paying

333
00:12:19,100 --> 00:12:21,100
foreign governments

334
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:23,100
to disappear human beings

335
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:24,100
from US soil without due

336
00:12:24,100 --> 00:12:26,100
process. I do not want my name

337
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:27,100
associated with

338
00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:29,100
unconstitutional callousness

339
00:12:29,100 --> 00:12:30,100
and cruelty. It is shameful,

340
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:32,100
outrageous,

341
00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:34,100
and a permanent stain

342
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:35,100
on us and our morality. What

343
00:12:35,100 --> 00:12:38,100
reassurances can we get that

344
00:12:38,100 --> 00:12:40,100
our neighbors who police hand

345
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:42,100
over to ICE will not have their

346
00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:44,100
human rights abused? I don't

347
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:46,100
think you can give us any. So

348
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:48,100
I'm asking you, as your

349
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:49,100
constituent,

350
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:51,100
who you represent not

351
00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:53,100
to approve this item.

352
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:55,100
Especially as a consent item.

353
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:57,100
It is definitely controversial

354
00:12:57,100 --> 00:13:00,100
and not routine. Thank you.

355
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:07,100
>> Thank you, miss Sherlock.

356
00:13:07,100 --> 00:13:09,100
Bill Watts.

357
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:17,401
>> Good morning, city of

358
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:19,100
Doral. Our mayor and council.

359
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:20,100
You all look wonderful up there

360
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:22,401
and everybody here, welcome

361
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:24,100
to you as well. My name is

362
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:25,100
Bill Watts. I am one

363
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:27,100
of the original founders

364
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:29,100
of the city of Doral and I'm a

365
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:31,100
veteran and also have a

366
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:33,100
nonprofit called Vet Info that

367
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:35,100
works with disabled veterans.

368
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:37,100
One of my missions several

369
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:38,100
years ago was

370
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:40,100
to bring the city, the

371
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:41,100
residents and the military

372
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:44,100
together. So I'm here today as

373
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:45,100
there has been changes

374
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:48,100
with the way things are done

375
00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:50,100
in appointments of advisory

376
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:52,100
committees as a resident

377
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:54,100
to request from the city that

378
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:57,100
on Memorial Day that we please

379
00:13:57,100 --> 00:13:59,100
have the park open, have it

380
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:01,100
available if the city could

381
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:03,100
also, as they've done

382
00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:04,100
in the past,

383
00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:06,100
provide a reef. I will work

384
00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:08,100
with some

385
00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:09,100
of the local nonprofits such as

386
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:12,100
Vet Info and Bristol Hospice

387
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:13,100
to see

388
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:15,100
about getting sponsorship

389
00:14:15,100 --> 00:14:16,100
from some of the small items.

390
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:18,100
But if we could have the park,

391
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:20,100
a reef and maybe two police

392
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:22,100
officers available that day for

393
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:24,100
a informal event that we've

394
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:26,100
done since 2018

395
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:30,100
to show our gratitude to those

396
00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:32,100
that have given their lives

397
00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:33,100
in service for this country.

398
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:35,100
So with that said,

399
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:37,100
I thank you very much. And

400
00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:40,100
hopefully the council and mayor

401
00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:42,100
can fulfill that request.

402
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:44,100
Thank you.

403
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:46,100
>> Thank you very much, Mr.

404
00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:47,100
Watts. We will make sure

405
00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:48,100
to talk to administration

406
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:50,401
to accommodate those requests.

407
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:54,100
Okay. Zora Qureshi.

408
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:08,100
>> Good morning. Zora Qureshi

409
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:10,100
at 8475 Northwest 34th Drive.

410
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:12,100
Good morning,

411
00:15:13,100 --> 00:15:15,100
mayor and council members. My

412
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:16,100
name is Zora Qureshi, and I

413
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:17,100
stand before you not just as an

414
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:19,100
attorney, but as a daughter

415
00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:20,100
of immigrants, a mother,

416
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:22,100
and a proud member of this

417
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:23,100
diverse city we call home. I am

418
00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:25,100
not Venezuelan,

419
00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:27,100
but I feel compelled to speak

420
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:30,100
on behalf of the thousands of

421
00:15:30,100 --> 00:15:31,100
Venezuelan families who may

422
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:33,100
never have the chance or

423
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:34,100
opportunity to stand here

424
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:35,100
for themselves. Today you are

425
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:37,100
being asked to vote on a

426
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:39,100
resolution that would allow ICE

427
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:41,100
to train our local police

428
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:43,100
officers under the 287g program.

429
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:45,100
But this isn't just a policy.

430
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:46,100
It's a gateway to fear, family

431
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:48,100
separation and racial profiling

432
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:49,100
in a city that thrives

433
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:50,100
on the courage and resilience

434
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:52,100
of immigrants. Doral is home

435
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:54,401
to the largest Venezuelan

436
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:57,100
population in the United

437
00:15:57,100 --> 00:15:58,100
States. Families who fled

438
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:00,100
persecution,

439
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:01,100
hunger and violence

440
00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:03,100
with nothing but hope

441
00:16:03,100 --> 00:16:04,100
in their hearts now live,

442
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:05,100
work and raise children here.

443
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:07,100
They are not criminals. They

444
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:08,100
are teachers, small business

445
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:09,100
owners, churchgoers,

446
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:11,100
students. And yet

447
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:12,100
with this resolution,

448
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:14,100
you risk make them feel hunted

449
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:16,100
in their own neighborhoods.

450
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:19,100
The 287g program does not

451
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:21,100
increase safety. It deputizes

452
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:23,100
local police officers to act as

453
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:25,100
federal immigration agents,

454
00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:26,100
often without training,

455
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:27,100
oversight or accountability

456
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:29,100
to understand the nuances

457
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:30,100
of immigration laws. This has

458
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:32,100
led to racial profiling,

459
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:33,100
wrongful detentions,

460
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:35,100
and a chilling effect on

461
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:36,100
communities that no longer

462
00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:38,100
trust the police,

463
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:39,100
not because they're guilty

464
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:40,100
of anything, but because

465
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:41,100
they're afraid their skin

466
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:43,100
color, their accent or their

467
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:44,100
immigration status could cost

468
00:16:44,100 --> 00:16:45,100
them everything. Let me be

469
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:47,100
clear. This is not

470
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:48,100
about politics. It's

471
00:16:48,100 --> 00:16:49,100
about people. It's

472
00:16:49,100 --> 00:16:50,100
about mothers too afraid

473
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:52,100
to call 911 when they're

474
00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:53,100
abused, workers too afraid

475
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:55,100
to report wage theft, and

476
00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:57,100
children terrified that their

477
00:16:57,100 --> 00:16:59,100
parents won't come home. You

478
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:00,100
were not elected to represent a

479
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:01,100
party or a political agenda.

480
00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:03,100
You were elected

481
00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:04,100
to represent the people of

482
00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:06,100
Doral, their safety, their

483
00:17:06,100 --> 00:17:07,100
dignity, and their right

484
00:17:07,100 --> 00:17:09,100
to live without fear. We are

485
00:17:09,100 --> 00:17:10,100
not asking for favors. We are

486
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:12,100
asking for humanity. Please

487
00:17:12,100 --> 00:17:15,100
reject the Resolution 6P say no

488
00:17:15,100 --> 00:17:17,100
to 287g. And show this

489
00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:19,100
community, our community,

490
00:17:19,100 --> 00:17:20,100
that your loyalty is not

491
00:17:20,100 --> 00:17:22,100
to the higher powers that be,

492
00:17:22,100 --> 00:17:23,100
but the people who built the

493
00:17:23,100 --> 00:17:24,100
city and believe

494
00:17:24,100 --> 00:17:26,100
in the promises you made

495
00:17:26,100 --> 00:17:29,601
to keep them safe. Thank you.

496
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:36,100
>> Juan Cuba.

497
00:17:43,100 --> 00:17:44,100
>> Good morning, Mayor and

498
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:45,100
council. My name is Juan

499
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:46,100
Cuba. Address is 165 Ponce

500
00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:48,100
Salem Boulevard. And I come

501
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:50,100
before you to talk as a

502
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:54,201
father of a three year old son

503
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:57,100
and a one year old daughter,

504
00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:59,100
as an immigrant who was born

505
00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:00,100
in Lima, Peru, whose father

506
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:03,100
came here with a promise that

507
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:05,100
this country made

508
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:06,100
to start a better future. And

509
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:08,100
we have. And like many

510
00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:10,100
immigrants that leave

511
00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:12,100
everything behind

512
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:14,100
with that promise of refuge,

513
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:16,401
some with a promise

514
00:18:17,100 --> 00:18:18,100
of protection

515
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:19,100
from oppression and communism,

516
00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:21,100
with status that is now

517
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:23,100
precarious because this

518
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:25,100
administration is stripping

519
00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:26,100
that away from Venezuelans,

520
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:28,100
Nicaraguans, Cubans, Haitians

521
00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:31,100
and others. The agreement that

522
00:18:32,100 --> 00:18:35,601
is before you. And I want

523
00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:37,100
to thank Councilwoman Cabral

524
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:39,100
for pulling it from the consent

525
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:40,100
agenda. 287G was

526
00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:42,100
around before,

527
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:45,100
under less toxic times. It was

528
00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:47,100
pulled in 2012

529
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:50,100
after investigations by the

530
00:18:50,100 --> 00:18:51,100
Department of Justice because

531
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:53,100
it had led

532
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:55,100
to racial profiling, famously

533
00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:57,100
in Arizona and North Carolina

534
00:18:57,100 --> 00:18:58,100
and even in the panhandle of

535
00:18:58,100 --> 00:19:00,100
Florida. We are in much more

536
00:19:00,100 --> 00:19:02,100
toxic times where there's

537
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:04,100
attacks

538
00:19:04,100 --> 00:19:05,100
on immigrants directly coming

539
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:07,100
from this president and the

540
00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:09,100
White House. When there's talk

541
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:11,100
of even. You hear Stephen

542
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:13,100
Miller and Steve Bannon,

543
00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:15,100
Stephen Miller being in the

544
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:16,100
White House, talk about

545
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:18,100
potentially denaturalizing

546
00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:19,100
people. I'm naturalized. This

547
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:20,100
impacts me. An agency that

548
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:22,401
feels emboldened because we

549
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:25,100
have an administration that's

550
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:27,401
ignoring due process and

551
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:30,100
ignoring court orders. I want

552
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:33,100
to tell you also that some

553
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:35,401
of you might feel

554
00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:39,100
like this is required of you

555
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:41,100
by state law, and it's not.

556
00:19:41,100 --> 00:19:43,401
Governor DeSantis had made

557
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:45,100
proposals in the first special

558
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:46,100
session that would have

559
00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:48,100
required this. There was a

560
00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:49,100
requirement for every city

561
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:50,100
to enter into the task force

562
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:52,100
Model agreement. There was a

563
00:19:52,100 --> 00:19:53,100
requirement for 10%

564
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:55,100
of your police force to be

565
00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:56,100
designated as ICE officers.

566
00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:58,100
Those were soundly rejected

567
00:19:58,100 --> 00:20:00,100
by the legislature. It was

568
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:03,100
special sessions B and C where

569
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:05,100
they actually passed and

570
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:07,100
created the state Immigration

571
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:08,100
Board. The city of South Miami

572
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:11,100
has a lawsuit currently filed

573
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:14,100
in Leon county that is asking a

574
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:16,100
judge, hey,

575
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:17,100
is this required or not?

576
00:20:17,100 --> 00:20:18,100
Because what's. What you're

577
00:20:18,100 --> 00:20:19,100
being told by the governor and

578
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:21,100
by the AG is that every city

579
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:22,100
must sign this thing and you

580
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:24,100
cannot. Or under threat

581
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:25,100
of removal or under threat of

582
00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:27,100
other political repercussions.

583
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:31,201
That is not. Again, I would ask

584
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:35,100
that you all wait to see how

585
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:37,100
that lawsuit ends up. There's

586
00:20:37,100 --> 00:20:40,100
no deadline in state statute

587
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:41,100
that says you have

588
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:42,100
to sign this today. You can

589
00:20:42,100 --> 00:20:45,100
defer the item, give it time to

590
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:47,100
see what the judge says if this

591
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:48,100
is actually required

592
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:50,100
by state law.

593
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:53,100
>> Give you 20 more seconds,

594
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:54,100
please,

595
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:55,100
to wrap up.

596
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:57,401
>> I just, you know,

597
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:01,100
you should listen

598
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:04,100
to what the State Immigration

599
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:05,100
Board is telling participating

600
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:07,100
agencies. They want you

601
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:08,100
to collect data. If you think

602
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:10,100
that you're just going

603
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:11,100
to have one or two officers.

604
00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:13,401
The pressure from Sheriff

605
00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:15,100
Botieri and Sheriff Grady Judd

606
00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:16,100
and Larry Keefe and the

607
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:17,100
governor is telling you

608
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:19,100
different. They're going

609
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:21,100
to push for you to get 10% of

610
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:22,100
your police force designated as

611
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:24,100
ICE officers. They're going

612
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:25,100
to push for you

613
00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:26,100
to collect data. They're going

614
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:27,100
to push. It's going to lead to

615
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:29,100
legal liability and honestly,

616
00:21:29,100 --> 00:21:31,100
more fear, fear in this

617
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:33,100
community. I appreciate the

618
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:35,401
extra time. Thank you.

619
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:39,100
>> Thank you, Mr. Cuba. Laura

620
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:41,100
Kelly.

621
00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:48,100
>> Good morning, Mayor. Good

622
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:49,100
morning, council members.

623
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:51,100
Laura Kelly, 4321 Northwest

624
00:21:51,100 --> 00:21:53,100
81st Avenue. I've been a Doral

625
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:54,100
resident for over 11 years. I'm

626
00:21:54,100 --> 00:21:56,100
an immigration attorney and a

627
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:58,100
Doral business owner. I urge

628
00:21:58,100 --> 00:21:59,100
you to oppose any effort by

629
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:01,100
Doral to enter into a 287g task

630
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:03,100
force model agreement

631
00:22:05,100 --> 00:22:06,100
with ICE. Let me be absolutely

632
00:22:06,100 --> 00:22:08,100
clear. This agreement is not

633
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:09,100
required by state law.

634
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:12,100
In fact, the city of South

635
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:13,100
Miami has filed a lawsuit

636
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:14,100
challenging the state's

637
00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:16,100
overreach. And during the most

638
00:22:16,100 --> 00:22:17,100
recent legislative session,

639
00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:19,100
lawmakers explicitly rejected

640
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:21,100
proposals to make 287g task

641
00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:23,100
force agreements

642
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:27,100
for all police departments.

643
00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:30,100
The legislature had a chance to

644
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:31,100
require this and chose not to.

645
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:33,100
What they did create is a state

646
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:35,100
immigration Enforcement council

647
00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:36,100
which is already burdening

648
00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:37,100
local police departments that

649
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:39,100
choose to participate with

650
00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:41,100
these problematic directives,

651
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:43,100
including collecting and

652
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:45,100
reporting detailed data on

653
00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:47,100
every stop involving suspected

654
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:49,100
undocumented immigrants,

655
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:51,100
gathering personal information

656
00:22:52,100 --> 00:22:54,100
even when there's no criminal

657
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:55,100
conduct,

658
00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:57,100
and pressuring departments

659
00:22:57,100 --> 00:22:58,100
to deputize at least 10%

660
00:22:58,100 --> 00:23:01,100
of their force as ICE agents.

661
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:02,100
This isn't

662
00:23:02,100 --> 00:23:04,100
about public safety. It's

663
00:23:04,100 --> 00:23:05,100
about turning local police into

664
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:07,100
immigration agents and

665
00:23:07,100 --> 00:23:09,100
advancing a political agenda

666
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:11,100
that undermines community

667
00:23:11,100 --> 00:23:12,100
trust, diverts local resources

668
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:14,401
and exposes the city

669
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:17,100
to legal liability. Our police

670
00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:20,100
should focus on keeping Doral

671
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:21,100
safe

672
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:22,100
through community policing,

673
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,100
not immigration enforcement.

674
00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:26,100
When police start acting

675
00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:28,100
like ice, it creates fear,

676
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:29,100
not safety. Immigrant families

677
00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:31,100
stop reporting crimes,

678
00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:33,100
stop cooperating as witnesses,

679
00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:35,100
and stop calling 911. This

680
00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:38,100
makes all of us less safe. And

681
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:41,100
let's not forget who ICE is

682
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:43,100
targeting under this mandate.

683
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:45,100
These are not people

684
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:46,100
with criminal charges. These

685
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:48,100
will be people pulled over

686
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:49,100
for minor traffic infractions.

687
00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:51,100
We're talking

688
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:53,100
about TPS holders,

689
00:23:53,100 --> 00:23:54,100
asylum seekers and parole

690
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:56,100
recipients, people who were

691
00:23:56,100 --> 00:23:58,100
here lawfully and are being

692
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:00,100
stripped of their legal status

693
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:02,100
without due process and are now

694
00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:03,100
subject

695
00:24:03,100 --> 00:24:04,100
to detention or worse,

696
00:24:04,100 --> 00:24:06,100
being disappeared.

697
00:24:06,100 --> 00:24:08,100
To second this, this kind

698
00:24:08,100 --> 00:24:11,601
of agreement opens our city to

699
00:24:13,100 --> 00:24:14,100
costly litigation and public

700
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:16,100
backlash. It erodes public

701
00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:17,100
trust in the local law

702
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:19,100
enforcement and jeopardizes the

703
00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:20,100
very relationships that

704
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:22,100
community safety depends on. I

705
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:24,100
strongly urge you

706
00:24:25,100 --> 00:24:26,100
to ask the following questions

707
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:27,100
of your police chief. How does

708
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:29,100
Doral PD define reasonable time

709
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:31,100
to detain someone under only a

710
00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:33,100
civil immigration warrant?

711
00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:35,100
Given the Supreme Court case,

712
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:38,100
Rodriguez v. United States, how

713
00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:40,100
will Doral ensure it complies

714
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:41,100
with a state exception

715
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:42,100
protecting victims and

716
00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:44,100
witnesses of certain crimes

717
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:45,100
from immigration enforcement?

718
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:47,100
And how many officers are

719
00:24:47,100 --> 00:24:48,100
expected to be deputized? And

720
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:50,100
is a department prepared to

721
00:24:50,100 --> 00:24:51,100
meet the state's ongoing data

722
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:53,100
collection and enforcement

723
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:56,100
directives?

724
00:24:56,100 --> 00:24:57,100
>> 20 seconds.

725
00:24:57,100 --> 00:24:58,100
>> There is no deadline

726
00:24:58,100 --> 00:24:59,100
in the state statute for

727
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:01,100
signing this agreement. I ask

728
00:25:01,100 --> 00:25:02,100
that you agree with

729
00:25:02,100 --> 00:25:03,100
Councilwoman Cabral and pull

730
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:05,100
this for today. Save it

731
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:06,100
for another day and at least

732
00:25:06,100 --> 00:25:08,100
until you get a ruling

733
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:10,100
from the South Miami lawsuit.

734
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:12,100
For the safety,

735
00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:13,100
trust and values

736
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:14,100
of our community,

737
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:17,100
please say no to 287g. Thank

738
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:19,100
you.

739
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:21,100
>> Thank you, Ms. Kelly.

740
00:25:21,100 --> 00:25:23,100
>> Thank you.

741
00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:25,100
>> Fernanda Gomez.

742
00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:36,100
>> Good morning, everyone. My

743
00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:38,100
name is Fernanda Gomez. 9874

744
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:40,100
Northwest 52nd Terrace,

745
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:42,100
Doral, FL, 33178. First

746
00:25:44,100 --> 00:25:45,100
of all, I want to say I feel

747
00:25:45,100 --> 00:25:47,401
deeply aligned and very

748
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:49,100
grateful

749
00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:50,100
for all the comments shared

750
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:52,100
by the residents today who

751
00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:54,100
spoke for me. So now I just

752
00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:55,100
want to thank the organizers

753
00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:57,100
and the city of Doral

754
00:25:57,100 --> 00:25:59,100
for the incredible run Doral

755
00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:01,100
done this past Sunday on April

756
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:04,100
13th. As a resident who had the

757
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:05,100
chance to experience it, I can

758
00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:07,100
truly say it was magical and

759
00:26:07,100 --> 00:26:09,100
beautifully organized. It

760
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:11,100
brought together family,

761
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:15,100
health and community in a way

762
00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:17,100
that left a lasting impression.

763
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:20,100
Events like these represent us

764
00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:22,100
as a city,

765
00:26:22,100 --> 00:26:24,100
reflect who we are as citizens,

766
00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:26,100
and set an example

767
00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:27,100

00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:42,100

892
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:45,100
just want

893
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:46,100
to say we're committed to

894
00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:47,100

00:29:47,100 --> 00:29:50,100

for a photo? Yeah. Thank you.

901
00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:52,100
Okay, Madam Clerk, we're going

902
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:54,100
to move on to the discussion

903
00:30:54,100 --> 00:30:55,100
items. I do want to mention

904
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:56,100
very quickly because I just

905
00:30:56,100 --> 00:30:57,100
noticed the time. Time it's

906
00:30:57,100 --> 00:30:58,100
10:55. I was going

907
00:30:58,100 --> 00:30:59,100
to recess the meeting at 11:30

908
00:30:59,100 --> 00:31:00,100
today cuz we do have a funeral

909
00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:02,100
we need to go to of current an

910
00:31:02,100 --> 00:31:04,100
elected official that passed

911
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:06,100
last week. I know that there

912
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:07,100
was a lot of items pulled.

913
00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:09,100
When we recess the meeting,

914
00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:10,100
these will be taken up

915
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:11,100
in the evening. But we do have

916
00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:13,100
a commitment that we need

917
00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:15,100
to get to. So the I think the

918
00:31:15,100 --> 00:31:17,100
latest we can go is 11:45. So

919
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:19,100
we'll try and get to

920
00:31:19,100 --> 00:31:20,100
through as much as we can,

921
00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:22,100
but there may be a recess

922
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:23,100
till the evening. Okay, thank

923
00:31:23,100 --> 00:31:25,100
you.

924
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:28,100
>> Item nine. A resolution of

925
00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:29,100
the mayor and the city council

926
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:30,100
of city of Doral, Florida

927
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:31,100
supporting a partnership

928
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:32,100
with the Alpha421 group for a

929
00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:33,100
temporary black box theater

930
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:34,100
Dural Cultural Arts center

931
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:35,100
for the performance of the

932
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:36,100
Walls Have Ears, La Paredes

933
00:31:36,100 --> 00:31:37,100
Oyen, providing a timeline

934
00:31:37,100 --> 00:31:38,100
for setup and performance days,

935
00:31:38,100 --> 00:31:39,100
providing for authorization,

936
00:31:39,100 --> 00:31:40,100
implementation, incorporation

937
00:31:40,100 --> 00:31:41,100
of recitals and an effective

938
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:42,100
date.

939
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:43,100
>> Thank you, Madam Clerk.

940
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:44,100
This is my item. I'm going

941
00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:45,100
to be as brief as possible. So

942
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:47,100
for quite a while now we've had

943
00:31:47,100 --> 00:31:48,100
a lot of requests

944
00:31:48,100 --> 00:31:50,100
to have theater

945
00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:51,100
in our community. We have an

946
00:31:51,100 --> 00:31:52,100
incredible cultural center that

947
00:31:52,100 --> 00:31:55,100
I think could be utilized

948
00:31:55,100 --> 00:31:56,100
for a lot of creative,

949
00:31:56,100 --> 00:31:58,401
culturally driven events which

950
00:32:00,100 --> 00:32:02,100
we've done. One of the things

951
00:32:02,100 --> 00:32:03,100
we haven't done is immersive

952
00:32:03,100 --> 00:32:04,100
theater. And so in exploring

953
00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:06,100
these opportunities, I met this

954
00:32:06,100 --> 00:32:09,100
incredible group a while ago

955
00:32:09,100 --> 00:32:12,100
from Las Paredes Oyen. I

956
00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:14,100
actually got to see their play

957
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:15,100
at the Westchester Theater

958
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:18,100
about two years ago. I think it

959
00:32:18,100 --> 00:32:21,100
was right after COVID. Right.

960
00:32:22,100 --> 00:32:24,100
Sometime after COVID. Four

961
00:32:24,100 --> 00:32:26,100
to one group. The Alpha421

962
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:28,100
group received a grant

963
00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:29,100
from the state of Florida last

964
00:32:29,100 --> 00:32:30,100
year

965
00:32:30,100 --> 00:32:32,100
on the Anti-communism Bill

966
00:32:32,100 --> 00:32:34,100
to teach students the dangers

967
00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:36,100
of communism. And so I'm going

968
00:32:36,100 --> 00:32:38,100
to ask them

969
00:32:38,100 --> 00:32:40,100
to come up and very,

970
00:32:40,100 --> 00:32:41,100
very simply what we're asking

971
00:32:41,100 --> 00:32:43,100
for is

972
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:44,100
to turn our cultural center

973
00:32:44,100 --> 00:32:45,100
into an immersive theater for

974
00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:47,100
about a month. They will need

975
00:32:47,100 --> 00:32:48,100
some time to set up. So this

976
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:50,100
will start as of June 1st.

977
00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:51,100
They will start to build the

978
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:53,100
theater and will run hopefully

979
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:55,100
through the end of July.

980
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:56,100
That's our expectation. They do

981
00:32:56,100 --> 00:32:58,100
have a grant that they'll be

982
00:32:58,100 --> 00:33:00,100
using to build all this and

983
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:01,100
some sponsorship which we're

984
00:33:01,100 --> 00:33:03,100
committed to getting. The

985
00:33:03,100 --> 00:33:05,100
city's participation would be

986
00:33:05,100 --> 00:33:07,100
in an in kind of the community

987
00:33:07,100 --> 00:33:08,100
center so that they could have

988
00:33:08,100 --> 00:33:11,100
these plays for several weeks

989
00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:14,100
and they would also be

990
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:16,100
encompassing and incorporating

991
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:18,100
our students

992
00:33:18,100 --> 00:33:20,100
in the activities. Not only

993
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:21,100
will they be able

994
00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:22,100
to come see the play

995
00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:23,100
for free,

996
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:24,100
but they can actually partake

997
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:25,100
in the acting

998
00:33:25,100 --> 00:33:27,100
in the backstage. So part

999
00:33:27,100 --> 00:33:29,100
of the grant they received

1000
00:33:29,100 --> 00:33:30,100
from the state of Florida and

1001
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:32,100
they can touch more about this

1002
00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:33,100
on this is

1003
00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:34,100
to encourage students

1004
00:33:34,100 --> 00:33:35,100
to get involved

1005
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:36,100
through theater, through these

1006
00:33:36,100 --> 00:33:38,100
arts programs and learn

1007
00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:40,100
about the dangers

1008
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:43,100
of communism. So I'd like

1009
00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:44,100
to call Robbie and Gabriel up

1010
00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:46,100
here who are going to do and I

1011
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:47,100
think you have someone else

1012
00:33:47,100 --> 00:33:48,100
with you today that I have not

1013
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:49,100
met yet. And they're going

1014
00:33:49,100 --> 00:33:51,100
to do a quick presentation on

1015
00:33:51,100 --> 00:33:52,100
what we will be seeing should

1016
00:33:52,100 --> 00:33:53,100
this be approved

1017
00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:55,100
in partnership with the city.

1018
00:33:55,100 --> 00:33:57,100
Thank you guys

1019
00:33:57,100 --> 00:33:58,100
for being here today. It, do

1020
00:33:58,100 --> 00:34:00,401
you have the presentation?

1021
00:34:01,100 --> 00:34:04,100
>> Right. Thank you Council for

1022
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:13,100
having us here.

1023
00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:14,100
>> I think the,

1024
00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:15,100
the mic I can project. We're

1025
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:16,100
good.

1026
00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:17,100
>> Okay. I thank you guys for,

1027
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:20,100
for allow here today. Mayor,

1028
00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:21,100
it's, it's truly an honor

1029
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:23,100
to be here presenting this in,

1030
00:34:23,100 --> 00:34:25,100
in, in front of all of you. My

1031
00:34:25,100 --> 00:34:27,100
name is Robbie Ramos. I'm an

1032
00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:28,100
actor. But I, I,

1033
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:29,100
I took a chance

1034
00:34:29,100 --> 00:34:31,100
at writing and I started to

1035
00:34:31,100 --> 00:34:33,100
write a play that is loosely

1036
00:34:33,100 --> 00:34:34,100
based

1037
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:35,100
on what my grandfather went

1038
00:34:35,100 --> 00:34:37,100
through as a political prisoner

1039
00:34:37,100 --> 00:34:39,100
in Cuba. I wrote it as a love

1040
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:40,100
letter to him. And as we did

1041
00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:42,100
the play more and, and more,

1042
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:44,100
we've done it twice before.

1043
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:45,100
What I realized is that I had

1044
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:47,100
written a love letter

1045
00:34:47,100 --> 00:34:48,100
to the really all Cuban

1046
00:34:48,100 --> 00:34:50,100
political prisoners and the

1047
00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:51,100
Cuban diaspora. It's a story

1048
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:53,401
that is really emotionally

1049
00:34:55,100 --> 00:34:56,100
charging for me and I have a

1050
00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:58,100
team here now

1051
00:34:58,100 --> 00:35:01,100
beside me that is going

1052
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:03,100
to help me bring it

1053
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:05,100
to life this third time here

1054
00:35:05,100 --> 00:35:06,100
in Doral, which we're really

1055
00:35:06,100 --> 00:35:07,100
excited about, considering the

1056
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:09,100
community that you guys have

1057
00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:10,100
here in the Venezuelan

1058
00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:12,100
community as well that we

1059
00:35:12,100 --> 00:35:13,100
really want to bring out

1060
00:35:13,100 --> 00:35:14,100
to see the play. If you can

1061
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:16,100
turn to the next slide,

1062
00:35:16,100 --> 00:35:19,100
please. Oh, okay, perfect. So

1063
00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:23,100
the play is a one act drama.

1064
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:24,100
It goes, it's, it takes place

1065
00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:26,401
during the Cuban Missile

1066
00:35:27,100 --> 00:35:28,100
Crisis and it goes back and

1067
00:35:28,100 --> 00:35:29,100
forth between a Cuban prison

1068
00:35:29,100 --> 00:35:31,100
and a Miami radio station in

1069
00:35:31,100 --> 00:35:34,100
1962. The, sorry, how do I.

1070
00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:37,100
There we go.

1071
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:45,100
>> What's other one?

1072
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:47,100
>> Nope, not doing it.

1073
00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:49,100
>> There we go.

1074
00:35:49,100 --> 00:35:51,100
>> This play is really a play

1075
00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:52,100
that I wrote

1076
00:35:52,100 --> 00:35:53,100
about four years ago and it's

1077
00:35:53,100 --> 00:35:54,100
for the American public. You

1078
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:56,401
know, I really wanted

1079
00:35:57,100 --> 00:35:58,100
to make sure that the,

1080
00:35:58,100 --> 00:36:00,100
the message of freedom

1081
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:01,100
of speech and expression is, is

1082
00:36:01,100 --> 00:36:03,100
one that I carry very deeply

1083
00:36:03,100 --> 00:36:04,100
and that I think is squarely

1084
00:36:04,100 --> 00:36:06,100
in the narrative

1085
00:36:07,100 --> 00:36:09,100
of this story. And now that

1086
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:11,100
we're being able to have, you

1087
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:12,100
know, students come

1088
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:14,100
to see the play for free,

1089
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:16,100
it's really going

1090
00:36:16,100 --> 00:36:17,100
to open up our horizon

1091
00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:18,100
to be able to bring in this

1092
00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:20,100
younger generation that I think

1093
00:36:20,100 --> 00:36:21,100
it's a message that,

1094
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:23,100
that they really should hear.

1095
00:36:23,100 --> 00:36:24,100
Let me see if I can move this

1096
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:26,100
next one. Yeah, we did it twice

1097
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:28,100
before. We did it at the

1098
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:29,100
Westchester Cultural Arts

1099
00:36:29,100 --> 00:36:30,100
center and at the American

1100
00:36:30,100 --> 00:36:32,100
Museum of the Cuban Diaspora.

1101
00:36:32,100 --> 00:36:33,100
Both times the play was

1102
00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:34,100
extended. And this summer, you

1103
00:36:34,100 --> 00:36:36,100
know, we hope to bring it here

1104
00:36:36,100 --> 00:36:37,100
to the city of Doral. And

1105
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:39,100
really, you know,

1106
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:40,100
show this play

1107
00:36:40,100 --> 00:36:42,100
to a new generation of Cuban

1108
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:43,100
and Venezuelan generation,

1109
00:36:43,100 --> 00:36:45,100
and really all

1110
00:36:46,100 --> 00:36:48,100
of the citizens here at

1111
00:36:48,100 --> 00:36:49,100
Doral. Mayor Fraga here, you

1112
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:52,100
know, I'm indebted to you

1113
00:36:53,100 --> 00:36:56,100
because it's really a story

1114
00:36:57,100 --> 00:37:00,100
that means so much to us, and

1115
00:37:00,100 --> 00:37:03,100
it's a story that we're really

1116
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:04,100
excited to bring here

1117
00:37:04,100 --> 00:37:06,100
to the city of Doral. I've got

1118
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:09,100
here Alan Koyaso, who helped us

1119
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:12,100
with the appropriation and can

1120
00:37:12,100 --> 00:37:13,100
speak a little more

1121
00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:15,100
about that.

1122
00:37:18,100 --> 00:37:19,100
>> Good morning, Council. Good

1123
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:20,100
morning, Mayor. It's the

1124
00:37:20,100 --> 00:37:22,100
appropriation is another

1125
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:24,100
example of the importance

1126
00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:26,100
of the meaning of the play

1127
00:37:26,100 --> 00:37:29,100
to the state of Florida,

1128
00:37:29,100 --> 00:37:30,100
to our community. There is an

1129
00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:32,100
investment from the state of

1130
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:34,100
Florida of $50,000 that will

1131
00:37:34,100 --> 00:37:36,100
help put this

1132
00:37:36,100 --> 00:37:38,100
on the forerunner.

1133
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:40,100
But we can't really bring it

1134
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:41,100
to life right

1135
00:37:41,100 --> 00:37:43,100
without you guys,

1136
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:44,100
without what the city of Doral

1137
00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:46,100
is going to do

1138
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:48,100
in providing the space to bring

1139
00:37:48,100 --> 00:37:50,100
this immersive theater project

1140
00:37:50,100 --> 00:37:52,100
to life. And

1141
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:54,100
through the appropriation,

1142
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:56,100
what we are able

1143
00:37:56,100 --> 00:37:57,100
to do is we're able

1144
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:59,100
to provide free entrances

1145
00:37:59,100 --> 00:38:01,100
to students, including here

1146
00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:03,100
in the city of Doral.

1147
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:04,100
But also,

1148
00:38:04,100 --> 00:38:05,100
let's say there's an FIU

1149
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:07,100
student, an MDC student,

1150
00:38:07,100 --> 00:38:08,100
someone that wants to come and

1151
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:09,100
see the play and very

1152
00:38:09,100 --> 00:38:10,100
importantly, learn

1153
00:38:10,100 --> 00:38:12,100
about why we need

1154
00:38:12,100 --> 00:38:13,100
to educate our youth

1155
00:38:13,100 --> 00:38:14,100
about the evils

1156
00:38:14,100 --> 00:38:16,401
of communism. I myself,

1157
00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:18,100
I left Cuba on a boat

1158
00:38:18,100 --> 00:38:19,100
with my mother when I was 8

1159
00:38:19,100 --> 00:38:20,100
years old. So this is very

1160
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:22,100
close and dear to my heart. But

1161
00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:23,100
the investment that the state

1162
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:25,100
is making, and

1163
00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:27,100
with you guys support,

1164
00:38:27,100 --> 00:38:28,100
I think that we can bring this

1165
00:38:28,100 --> 00:38:30,100
to a brand new level. We were

1166
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:31,100
just talking as a team,

1167
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:32,100
the type of immersive theater

1168
00:38:32,100 --> 00:38:34,100
that this will be is going

1169
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:35,100
to be a whole level

1170
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:36,100
of what we've done

1171
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:38,100
in the other two times. So

1172
00:38:38,100 --> 00:38:39,100
thank you guys

1173
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:41,100
for your support.

1174
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:42,100
>> Thank you. Liana. I hadn't

1175
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:43,100
recognized you. Good

1176
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:45,100
to see you.

1177
00:38:45,100 --> 00:38:46,100
>> Good morning. My name is

1178
00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:47,100
Gabriel Bonilla. I'm the

1179
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,100
director of La Paredes Oyen.

1180
00:38:48,100 --> 00:38:49,100
I'm just going

1181
00:38:49,100 --> 00:38:50,100
to touch quickly on sort of the

1182
00:38:50,100 --> 00:38:51,100
immersive component and how

1183
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:53,100
this works. So you guys get a

1184
00:38:53,100 --> 00:38:54,100
very quick idea of what we're

1185
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:55,100
proposing and what we want

1186
00:38:55,100 --> 00:38:56,100
to do in the space. And so let

1187
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:58,100
me talk

1188
00:38:58,100 --> 00:38:59,100
about the actors first. We have

1189
00:38:59,100 --> 00:39:01,100
an incredible group

1190
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:03,100
of actors. Susanna Perez, who

1191
00:39:03,100 --> 00:39:04,100
really needs no introduction,

1192
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:06,100
but is a staple in the Cuban

1193
00:39:06,100 --> 00:39:08,100
community as an actress

1194
00:39:08,100 --> 00:39:09,100
in telenovelas,

1195
00:39:09,100 --> 00:39:10,100
in theater everywhere. Hector

1196
00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:12,100
Medina, who just finished

1197
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:14,100
playing opposite Al Pacino in a

1198
00:39:14,100 --> 00:39:15,100
new feature film that should be

1199
00:39:15,100 --> 00:39:17,100
coming out very soon. Ariel

1200
00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:19,100
Tuxedo is also another staple

1201
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:21,401
in the Miami acting

1202
00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:23,100
Community. Diane Garriga, who

1203
00:39:23,100 --> 00:39:25,100
just finished an episode of

1204
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:26,100
Law and Order. And we have

1205
00:39:26,100 --> 00:39:28,100
Bill Schwartz, who used to be a

1206
00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:30,401
police officer and transition

1207
00:39:31,100 --> 00:39:33,100
into acting and has been the

1208
00:39:33,100 --> 00:39:34,100
biggest gift to us

1209
00:39:34,100 --> 00:39:35,100
in this play. It says set

1210
00:39:35,100 --> 00:39:37,100
design up here,

1211
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:39,100
and these are old photos

1212
00:39:39,100 --> 00:39:41,100
of what we've done

1213
00:39:41,100 --> 00:39:42,100
in the past. But I'm going

1214
00:39:42,100 --> 00:39:43,100
to walk you

1215
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:44,100
through this real quickly. As

1216
00:39:44,100 --> 00:39:45,100
an immersive component,

1217
00:39:45,100 --> 00:39:47,100
the space is going

1218
00:39:47,100 --> 00:39:48,100
to be transformed

1219
00:39:48,100 --> 00:39:49,100
from the moment you walk

1220
00:39:49,100 --> 00:39:50,100
in both spaces,

1221
00:39:50,100 --> 00:39:52,100
the lobby inside. The way that

1222
00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:53,100
this show will work is you can

1223
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:55,100
watch the show about three or

1224
00:39:55,100 --> 00:39:56,100
four times and see something

1225
00:39:56,100 --> 00:39:58,100
new every single time.

1226
00:39:58,100 --> 00:39:59,100
At no points do the actors get

1227
00:39:59,100 --> 00:40:00,100
off stage. There's no true

1228
00:40:00,100 --> 00:40:01,100
blackouts. The actors may touch

1229
00:40:01,100 --> 00:40:03,100
you, they may speak to you,

1230
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:04,100
they may walk around you. You

1231
00:40:04,100 --> 00:40:06,100
watch it in the round. And

1232
00:40:06,100 --> 00:40:07,100
whatever's happening

1233
00:40:07,100 --> 00:40:09,100
on stage is constantly living.

1234
00:40:09,100 --> 00:40:10,100
So there are three stages or

1235
00:40:10,100 --> 00:40:12,100
three main components. The.

1236
00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:14,100
The prison cell in Cuba, the

1237
00:40:14,100 --> 00:40:17,100
office of the prison cell,

1238
00:40:17,100 --> 00:40:19,100
and a radio station in Miami.

1239
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:20,100
And while things are happening

1240
00:40:20,100 --> 00:40:21,100
simultaneously, things may be

1241
00:40:21,100 --> 00:40:23,100
quieter on one side, but the

1242
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:25,100
stage is still living and it's

1243
00:40:25,100 --> 00:40:26,100
in real time. So you can watch

1244
00:40:26,100 --> 00:40:28,100
the show again about 3 and

1245
00:40:28,100 --> 00:40:29,100
catch something different.

1246
00:40:29,100 --> 00:40:30,100
We're going

1247
00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:32,100
to have the opportunity

1248
00:40:32,100 --> 00:40:33,100
to have the students as well,

1249
00:40:33,100 --> 00:40:34,100
part

1250
00:40:34,100 --> 00:40:35,100
of this immersive experience.

1251
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:37,100
So I don't want

1252
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:38,100
to give too much away,

1253
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:39,100
but as you get into the show,

1254
00:40:39,100 --> 00:40:41,100
there are areas that are going

1255
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:42,100
to be active and sort

1256
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:44,100
of lively. And we want

1257
00:40:44,100 --> 00:40:45,100
to allow the students

1258
00:40:45,100 --> 00:40:46,100
to participate and be the

1259
00:40:46,100 --> 00:40:47,100
actors in those moments,

1260
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:49,100
as well as backstage,

1261
00:40:49,100 --> 00:40:50,100
as assistant stage managers,

1262
00:40:50,100 --> 00:40:52,100
costumes, lightings,

1263
00:40:52,100 --> 00:40:53,100
they can run our soundboards.

1264
00:40:53,100 --> 00:40:54,100
There's opportunity

1265
00:40:54,100 --> 00:40:56,100
for anyone who's interested,

1266
00:40:56,100 --> 00:40:57,100
and we kind of want

1267
00:40:57,100 --> 00:40:59,100
to hold auditions and sort of

1268
00:40:59,100 --> 00:41:00,100
like a Make it a fun experience

1269
00:41:00,100 --> 00:41:02,100
for the students to showcase

1270
00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:03,100
what they're interested in and

1271
00:41:03,100 --> 00:41:05,100
their talents and how we can

1272
00:41:05,100 --> 00:41:07,100
allow them to participate

1273
00:41:07,100 --> 00:41:10,100
with us. And of course,

1274
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:11,100
we're going

1275
00:41:11,100 --> 00:41:12,100
to be showcasing the artwork

1276
00:41:12,100 --> 00:41:14,100
of Kiki Valdez, who was

1277
00:41:14,100 --> 00:41:15,100
inspired

1278
00:41:15,100 --> 00:41:16,100
by the show when he came

1279
00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:18,100
to a reading. And he came

1280
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:19,100
to us and was like, hey, guys,

1281
00:41:19,100 --> 00:41:20,100
you know, can I. Can I do a

1282
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:22,100
series of paintings based

1283
00:41:22,100 --> 00:41:24,100
on the show? And we said, yeah,

1284
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:25,100
why don't we do this together?

1285
00:41:25,100 --> 00:41:26,100
So these are just a few

1286
00:41:26,100 --> 00:41:28,100
of his paintings, but there's

1287
00:41:28,100 --> 00:41:29,100
also an artistic immersive

1288
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:30,100
component as well.

1289
00:41:30,100 --> 00:41:32,100
Before the show and

1290
00:41:32,100 --> 00:41:34,100
during the show, all these

1291
00:41:34,100 --> 00:41:35,100
paintings will be displayed as

1292
00:41:35,100 --> 00:41:36,100
well. Some of our partners.

1293
00:41:36,100 --> 00:41:39,100
Robbie, you want to touch

1294
00:41:40,100 --> 00:41:42,100
on partners?

1295
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:44,100
>> Sure, yeah, yeah. Havana

1296
00:41:44,100 --> 00:41:47,100
Club, that's now made by

1297
00:41:47,100 --> 00:41:48,100
Bacardi, has been a big partner

1298
00:41:48,100 --> 00:41:50,100
of ours ever since we did

1299
00:41:50,100 --> 00:41:52,100
Amparo a couple years ago.

1300
00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:54,100
Cuban Freedom March. Aliang is

1301
00:41:54,100 --> 00:41:56,100
one of the founders, and

1302
00:41:56,100 --> 00:41:58,100
Kaltura Media House is a

1303
00:41:58,100 --> 00:42:00,100
creative agency that we're

1304
00:42:00,100 --> 00:42:02,100
working with. So these are

1305
00:42:02,100 --> 00:42:03,100
three partners of ours right

1306
00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:05,100
now that we're bringing along

1307
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:07,100
for this ride here in Doral. I

1308
00:42:07,100 --> 00:42:09,401
think that concludes our

1309
00:42:10,100 --> 00:42:12,100
presentation. Thank you all

1310
00:42:12,100 --> 00:42:14,100
for having us.

1311
00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:16,100
>> Thank you, Robbie, Gabriel.

1312
00:42:16,100 --> 00:42:18,100
So, basically,

1313
00:42:18,100 --> 00:42:19,100
just two things I want

1314
00:42:19,100 --> 00:42:20,100
to point out as well. The play

1315
00:42:20,100 --> 00:42:21,100
will be completely bilingual.

1316
00:42:21,100 --> 00:42:23,100
Don't leave, guys, just

1317
00:42:23,100 --> 00:42:24,100
in case there's any questions.

1318
00:42:24,100 --> 00:42:25,100
Will be completely bilingual. I

1319
00:42:25,100 --> 00:42:26,100
believe there'll be shows.

1320
00:42:26,100 --> 00:42:28,100
There's Fridays, Saturdays and

1321
00:42:28,100 --> 00:42:30,100
Sundays. But in the meantime,

1322
00:42:30,100 --> 00:42:33,100
there will also be an exhibit

1323
00:42:33,100 --> 00:42:35,401
of historical documents and

1324
00:42:36,100 --> 00:42:38,100
actual paintings that were

1325
00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:40,100
taken from prison cells in

1326
00:42:40,100 --> 00:42:41,100
Cuba on display. So it'll be

1327
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:43,100
really just active all the

1328
00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:45,401
time. We've talked about

1329
00:42:46,100 --> 00:42:47,100
bringing speakers and political

1330
00:42:47,100 --> 00:42:49,100
prisoners and doing things

1331
00:42:49,100 --> 00:42:51,100
in the center during the time

1332
00:42:51,100 --> 00:42:53,100
that they're there

1333
00:42:53,100 --> 00:42:54,100
to really make it bring. Bring

1334
00:42:54,100 --> 00:42:56,100
it to life, make it immersive

1335
00:42:56,100 --> 00:42:57,100
and also educational. So I

1336
00:42:57,100 --> 00:42:59,100
think it's a great initiative.

1337
00:42:59,100 --> 00:43:01,401
They've got the funding

1338
00:43:02,100 --> 00:43:04,100
from the state, plus some

1339
00:43:04,100 --> 00:43:05,100
sponsors,

1340
00:43:05,100 --> 00:43:06,100
and I would really love

1341
00:43:06,100 --> 00:43:08,100
to see how our culture. That

1342
00:43:08,100 --> 00:43:09,100
was my first initial

1343
00:43:09,100 --> 00:43:10,100
conversations. And I really

1344
00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:12,100
want to see how the Cultural

1345
00:43:12,100 --> 00:43:13,100
center works as a theater,

1346
00:43:13,100 --> 00:43:14,100
since we get so many requests

1347
00:43:14,100 --> 00:43:15,100
for it to be theater or

1348
00:43:15,100 --> 00:43:17,100
to try and do theater there.

1349
00:43:17,100 --> 00:43:20,100
So I think it would be great

1350
00:43:20,100 --> 00:43:21,100
to do it with someone who. Or

1351
00:43:21,100 --> 00:43:22,100
an organization that not only

1352
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:23,100
has done it before, but also

1353
00:43:23,100 --> 00:43:25,100
and understands the permitting

1354
00:43:25,100 --> 00:43:26,100
process and everything we have

1355
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:27,100
to do,

1356
00:43:27,100 --> 00:43:28,100
but also has the funding.

1357
00:43:28,100 --> 00:43:29,100
That's always the hard part

1358
00:43:29,100 --> 00:43:31,100
in the city

1359
00:43:31,100 --> 00:43:32,100
to put everything it's taxing

1360
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:33,100
on us. So hopefully I have the

1361
00:43:33,100 --> 00:43:35,100
support and we can move

1362
00:43:35,100 --> 00:43:36,100
forward, and this will come

1363
00:43:36,100 --> 00:43:37,100
to life in June. I think the

1364
00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:39,100
looking. We're looking to do

1365
00:43:39,100 --> 00:43:40,100
our opening night the 13th,

1366
00:43:40,100 --> 00:43:43,601
June 13th, and it will run

1367
00:43:44,100 --> 00:43:45,100
for a month. And hopefully

1368
00:43:45,100 --> 00:43:47,100
sales of tickets are good and

1369
00:43:47,100 --> 00:43:48,100
we can go all the way through

1370
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:50,100
July 20th. Also, I want

1371
00:43:50,100 --> 00:43:51,100
to mention they're committed

1372
00:43:51,100 --> 00:43:53,401
to giving 20%, 15% or 10%. I

1373
00:43:54,100 --> 00:43:55,100
forgot we said. I don't recall.

1374
00:43:55,100 --> 00:43:57,100
Percentage

1375
00:43:57,100 --> 00:43:58,100
of the sales will go to Parks

1376
00:43:58,100 --> 00:43:59,100
and Police for Kids for the

1377
00:43:59,100 --> 00:44:00,100
tickets. I think we had said

1378
00:44:00,100 --> 00:44:02,100
15%, right?

1379
00:44:02,100 --> 00:44:03,100
>> Could be. Yeah.

1380
00:44:03,100 --> 00:44:04,100
>> 15% of the tickets. They've

1381
00:44:04,100 --> 00:44:05,100
been very transparent with

1382
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:06,100
their budget and what it would

1383
00:44:06,100 --> 00:44:07,100
cost to pay the actors and

1384
00:44:07,100 --> 00:44:08,100
everything. But a percentage

1385
00:44:08,100 --> 00:44:09,100
of the sales will go to Parks

1386
00:44:09,100 --> 00:44:10,100
and Police for kids

1387
00:44:10,100 --> 00:44:12,100
to raise money. So it's a great

1388
00:44:12,100 --> 00:44:13,100
cause. And there's any

1389
00:44:13,100 --> 00:44:15,100
questions, please feel free

1390
00:44:15,100 --> 00:44:16,100
to ask them. And if not,

1391
00:44:16,100 --> 00:44:17,100
then we need a motion

1392
00:44:17,100 --> 00:44:19,401
to approve. Yes. Councilman.

1393
00:44:20,100 --> 00:44:21,100
>> So, a motion

1394
00:44:21,100 --> 00:44:22,100
to approve.

1395
00:44:22,100 --> 00:44:24,100
>> Thank you, Councilman.

1396
00:44:24,100 --> 00:44:25,100
>> Second.

1397
00:44:25,100 --> 00:44:26,100
>> Second by Councilman

1398
00:44:26,100 --> 00:44:28,100
Reinoso. Any questions? Okay,

1399
00:44:28,100 --> 00:44:29,100
being none. From now,

1400
00:44:29,100 --> 00:44:30,100
you'll work

1401
00:44:30,100 --> 00:44:31,100
with staff. I mean, I know

1402
00:44:31,100 --> 00:44:32,100
we've all been working together

1403
00:44:32,100 --> 00:44:33,100
with staff as well,

1404
00:44:33,100 --> 00:44:34,100
but we look forward

1405
00:44:34,100 --> 00:44:35,100
to having a great,

1406
00:44:35,100 --> 00:44:36,100
successful event. We're going

1407
00:44:36,100 --> 00:44:37,100
to have a media night,

1408
00:44:37,100 --> 00:44:38,100
so we hope you all participate.

1409
00:44:38,100 --> 00:44:41,100
Thank you, Madam Clerk. If

1410
00:44:41,100 --> 00:44:42,100
there's no other additional

1411
00:44:42,100 --> 00:44:43,100
questions,

1412
00:44:43,100 --> 00:44:44,100
please call a question.

1413
00:44:44,100 --> 00:44:45,100
>> Motion to approve may by

1414
00:44:45,100 --> 00:44:46,100
Councilman Pineyro. Seconded

1415
00:44:46,100 --> 00:44:47,100
by Councilwoman Reinoso.

1416
00:44:47,100 --> 00:44:49,100
[ CALLING ROLL ]

1417
00:44:51,100 --> 00:44:52,100
>> Motion passes.

1418
00:44:52,100 --> 00:44:53,100
>> All right,

1419
00:44:53,100 --> 00:44:54,100
thank you very much. We look

1420
00:44:54,100 --> 00:44:55,100
forward to working

1421
00:44:55,100 --> 00:44:56,100
with you all.

1422
00:44:56,100 --> 00:44:57,100
>> Thank you.

1423
00:44:57,100 --> 00:44:58,100
>> Have a good afternoon.

1424
00:44:58,100 --> 00:44:59,100
Okay, we move on

1425
00:44:59,100 --> 00:45:00,100
to item 9B.

1426
00:45:00,100 --> 00:45:02,100
>> Item 9C.

1427
00:45:02,100 --> 00:45:03,100
>> Oh, I'm sorry. Yes.

1428
00:45:03,100 --> 00:45:04,100
>> The mayor and the city

1429
00:45:04,100 --> 00:45:05,100
council of the city of Doral,

1430
00:45:05,100 --> 00:45:06,100
Florida, establishing a policy

1431
00:45:06,100 --> 00:45:07,100
requiring elected officials

1432
00:45:07,100 --> 00:45:08,100
to reimburse the city for

1433
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:09,100
unused event tickets or table

1434
00:45:09,100 --> 00:45:10,100
seats purchased

1435
00:45:10,100 --> 00:45:11,100
with city funds when they fail

1436
00:45:11,100 --> 00:45:12,100
to attend and do not provide a

1437
00:45:12,100 --> 00:45:13,100
designated representative

1438
00:45:13,100 --> 00:45:14,100
providing for authorization,

1439
00:45:14,100 --> 00:45:15,100
implementation, incorporation

1440
00:45:15,100 --> 00:45:16,100
of recitals and an effective

1441
00:45:16,100 --> 00:45:17,100
date.

1442
00:45:17,100 --> 00:45:18,100
>> Thank you. This is

1443
00:45:18,100 --> 00:45:19,100
Councilwoman Reinoso's item.

1444
00:45:19,100 --> 00:45:22,100
>> Thank you, Mayor. Well, this

1445
00:45:22,100 --> 00:45:23,100
item I'm bringing up because,

1446
00:45:23,100 --> 00:45:24,100
you know,

1447
00:45:24,100 --> 00:45:26,100
I think when the city of Doral

1448
00:45:26,100 --> 00:45:28,100
is invited to events,

1449
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:29,100
or we can sponsor or we can

1450
00:45:29,100 --> 00:45:30,100
attend, it brings a level

1451
00:45:30,100 --> 00:45:32,100
of prestige to the event. And I

1452
00:45:32,100 --> 00:45:35,100
don't think it's a good look

1453
00:45:35,100 --> 00:45:37,100
for our city when we have empty

1454
00:45:37,100 --> 00:45:38,100
seats there that have been paid

1455
00:45:38,100 --> 00:45:40,100
for. So my item deals

1456
00:45:40,100 --> 00:45:42,100
with fiscal responsibility.

1457
00:45:43,100 --> 00:45:45,100
You know, during my research,

1458
00:45:45,100 --> 00:45:47,100
I found out that, you know,

1459
00:45:47,100 --> 00:45:50,100
--, it is a French word

1460
00:45:50,100 --> 00:45:52,100
for responde play. And we all

1461
00:45:52,100 --> 00:45:53,100
do a very good job responding,

1462
00:45:53,100 --> 00:45:55,100
but we don't do a very good job

1463
00:45:55,100 --> 00:45:57,100
attending. So my item brings in

1464
00:45:57,100 --> 00:46:00,100
a payback system where if we

1465
00:46:00,100 --> 00:46:03,601
paid for a seat, the city

1466
00:46:05,100 --> 00:46:07,100
should be reimbursed if you did

1467
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:10,100
not attend that event that you

1468
00:46:10,100 --> 00:46:13,601
-- to. And I would like

1469
00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:16,401
to make an amendment

1470
00:46:18,100 --> 00:46:19,100
on my item in the section 4

1471
00:46:19,100 --> 00:46:21,401
originally I have here.

1472
00:46:26,100 --> 00:46:28,100
Exceptions to this policy may

1473
00:46:28,100 --> 00:46:29,100
be granted

1474
00:46:29,100 --> 00:46:30,100
under extenuated circumstances,

1475
00:46:30,100 --> 00:46:31,100
such as medical emergencies or

1476
00:46:31,100 --> 00:46:33,100
unforeseen conflicts,

1477
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:34,100
at the discretion of the city

1478
00:46:34,100 --> 00:46:37,100
manager and end it there.

1479
00:46:38,100 --> 00:46:41,601
Okay, that's all. And I'm happy

1480
00:46:46,100 --> 00:46:48,100
to entertain any conversation.

1481
00:46:48,100 --> 00:46:49,100
>> All right. Is there any

1482
00:46:49,100 --> 00:46:50,100
questions regarding this item?

1483
00:46:50,100 --> 00:46:51,100
>> Motion to approve.

1484
00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:52,100
>> Motion to approve by

1485
00:46:52,100 --> 00:46:54,100
Councilman Pineyro.

1486
00:46:54,100 --> 00:46:55,100
>> Through the chair,

1487
00:46:55,100 --> 00:46:56,100
I have a question.

1488
00:46:56,100 --> 00:46:57,100
>> Yes, Councilwoman Cabral.

1489
00:46:57,100 --> 00:46:59,401
>> To the city manager

1490
00:47:00,100 --> 00:47:01,100
through the item. I mean, you

1491
00:47:01,100 --> 00:47:02,100
see,

1492
00:47:02,100 --> 00:47:03,100
you are the one that going to

1493
00:47:03,100 --> 00:47:05,100
approve or accept the absence?

1494
00:47:05,100 --> 00:47:07,100
>> Yes, ma'am, that is what the

1495
00:47:07,100 --> 00:47:08,100
resolution says.

1496
00:47:08,100 --> 00:47:09,100
>> My concern is

1497
00:47:09,100 --> 00:47:10,100
that it says that we have

1498
00:47:10,100 --> 00:47:12,100
to provide 48 hours

1499
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:14,100
at least notice if, I mean,

1500
00:47:14,100 --> 00:47:16,100
there's circumstances where

1501
00:47:17,100 --> 00:47:18,100
someone wake up that day or

1502
00:47:18,100 --> 00:47:20,100
before going to this event that

1503
00:47:20,100 --> 00:47:23,100
they might feel bad physically,

1504
00:47:23,100 --> 00:47:24,100
some of their children or

1505
00:47:24,100 --> 00:47:26,100
something happens that they are

1506
00:47:26,100 --> 00:47:28,100
not going to be able

1507
00:47:28,100 --> 00:47:30,100
to be there. How are you going

1508
00:47:30,100 --> 00:47:32,100
to handle that? Because

1509
00:47:32,100 --> 00:47:33,100
sometimes we don't have 48

1510
00:47:33,100 --> 00:47:35,100
hours ahead of time

1511
00:47:35,100 --> 00:47:36,100
to let you know. And also if

1512
00:47:36,100 --> 00:47:38,100
you request a medical, because

1513
00:47:38,100 --> 00:47:40,100
sometimes there's someone that

1514
00:47:40,100 --> 00:47:41,100
have a stomach flu,

1515
00:47:41,100 --> 00:47:43,100
they don't need to go

1516
00:47:43,100 --> 00:47:45,100
to an emergency or urgent care,

1517
00:47:45,100 --> 00:47:46,100
they just need 24 hours

1518
00:47:46,100 --> 00:47:47,100
to clean up their system. So

1519
00:47:47,100 --> 00:47:50,100
how is that going to work?

1520
00:47:50,100 --> 00:47:52,100
>> Well, Councilwoman, just

1521
00:47:52,100 --> 00:47:53,100
speaking logically, I would say

1522
00:47:53,100 --> 00:47:55,100
that if someone is ill and

1523
00:47:55,100 --> 00:47:58,100
cannot attend, then they are

1524
00:47:58,100 --> 00:48:01,100
ill and they cannot attend.

1525
00:48:01,100 --> 00:48:02,100
>> I mean, well,

1526
00:48:02,100 --> 00:48:03,100
that's just an example

1527
00:48:03,100 --> 00:48:05,100
of illness. But someone,

1528
00:48:05,100 --> 00:48:07,100
something happened

1529
00:48:07,100 --> 00:48:09,100
with a car, did different

1530
00:48:09,100 --> 00:48:10,100
issues. I don't think that it's

1531
00:48:10,100 --> 00:48:11,100
fair to put, you know, 48 hours

1532
00:48:11,100 --> 00:48:12,100
limit. If somebody have any

1533
00:48:12,100 --> 00:48:13,100
issues that will come. I just

1534
00:48:13,100 --> 00:48:15,100
wanted

1535
00:48:15,100 --> 00:48:16,100
to make sure that it will be

1536
00:48:16,100 --> 00:48:19,100
in a fair way that it's going

1537
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:21,100
to be judged. You have a

1538
00:48:21,100 --> 00:48:22,100
comment?

1539
00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:24,100
>> Absolutely.

1540
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:25,100
>> I see. I see you talking

1541
00:48:25,100 --> 00:48:26,100
to the?

1542
00:48:26,100 --> 00:48:28,100
>> Through the mayor. As soon

1543
00:48:28,100 --> 00:48:31,100
as you're done. So are you?

1544
00:48:31,100 --> 00:48:32,100
>> No, I'm not. I'm not done.

1545
00:48:32,100 --> 00:48:34,100
So the reason that I'm asking

1546
00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:35,100
is just. I just wanted

1547
00:48:35,100 --> 00:48:36,100
to see, you know, what will be

1548
00:48:36,100 --> 00:48:38,100
a system that many of us,

1549
00:48:38,100 --> 00:48:41,100
you know, aside from being here

1550
00:48:41,100 --> 00:48:43,100
and serving the community, will

1551
00:48:43,100 --> 00:48:45,100
also have jobs that require

1552
00:48:45,100 --> 00:48:47,100
sometimes that we have

1553
00:48:47,100 --> 00:48:48,100
to be there for. For an urgent

1554
00:48:48,100 --> 00:48:50,100
situation and things

1555
00:48:50,100 --> 00:48:52,100
like that. So I just wanted

1556
00:48:52,100 --> 00:48:53,100
to make sure that this one.

1557
00:48:53,100 --> 00:48:55,100
That it will take

1558
00:48:55,100 --> 00:48:56,100
in consideration, have it on

1559
00:48:56,100 --> 00:48:58,100
the record that if we are not

1560
00:48:58,100 --> 00:49:00,100
able to give a 48 hour notice,

1561
00:49:00,100 --> 00:49:02,100
you will be able to. You wanted

1562
00:49:02,100 --> 00:49:04,100
to say something?

1563
00:49:05,100 --> 00:49:06,100
>> Can you please go ahead and

1564
00:49:06,100 --> 00:49:07,100
finish?

1565
00:49:07,100 --> 00:49:08,100
>> I have five minutes.

1566
00:49:08,100 --> 00:49:09,100
>> Yeah, I have not interrupted

1567
00:49:09,100 --> 00:49:10,100
you.

1568
00:49:10,100 --> 00:49:12,100
>> But you keep trying to push

1569
00:49:12,100 --> 00:49:13,100
me and I still have five

1570
00:49:13,100 --> 00:49:14,100
minutes.

1571
00:49:14,100 --> 00:49:16,100
>> No, that's what.

1572
00:49:16,100 --> 00:49:17,100
>> That's how he's conducted

1573
00:49:17,100 --> 00:49:18,100
the meeting.

1574
00:49:18,100 --> 00:49:19,100
>> No, those five minutes are

1575
00:49:19,100 --> 00:49:20,100
ticking right now. Go ahead,

1576
00:49:20,100 --> 00:49:22,100
please.

1577
00:49:23,100 --> 00:49:25,100
>> That's fine. And I apologize

1578
00:49:25,100 --> 00:49:26,100
for the interruption.

1579
00:49:26,100 --> 00:49:28,100
So I just wanted to, you

1580
00:49:28,100 --> 00:49:29,100
know, to clarify that and make

1581
00:49:29,100 --> 00:49:30,100
sure. I know that you are a

1582
00:49:30,100 --> 00:49:31,100
very fair person,

1583
00:49:31,100 --> 00:49:33,100
but I just wanted to make sure

1584
00:49:33,100 --> 00:49:34,100
that that is also taken

1585
00:49:34,100 --> 00:49:35,100
in account.

1586
00:49:35,100 --> 00:49:36,100
>> Well, thank you for that.

1587
00:49:36,100 --> 00:49:37,100
But the only thing I would

1588
00:49:37,100 --> 00:49:38,100
like to add is the time is a

1589
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:40,100
policy question. It's not my

1590
00:49:40,100 --> 00:49:42,100
call, but yes, absolutely. If

1591
00:49:42,100 --> 00:49:44,100
someone is sick, if, you know,

1592
00:49:44,100 --> 00:49:46,100
if there was an issue

1593
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:48,100
with a car not working or God

1594
00:49:48,100 --> 00:49:50,100
forbid,

1595
00:49:50,100 --> 00:49:51,100
a car accident or anything

1596
00:49:51,100 --> 00:49:52,100
of that nature,

1597
00:49:52,100 --> 00:49:53,100
obviously that will be taken

1598
00:49:53,100 --> 00:49:54,100
into consideration. But the

1599
00:49:54,100 --> 00:49:56,100
time allotted is a policy

1600
00:49:56,100 --> 00:49:58,100
question. So that's something

1601
00:49:58,100 --> 00:50:00,100
that you all have to decide.

1602
00:50:00,100 --> 00:50:02,100
>> Would you, Councilwoman, be

1603
00:50:02,100 --> 00:50:04,100
able then to eliminate the

1604
00:50:04,100 --> 00:50:06,100
at the time or at least to have

1605
00:50:06,100 --> 00:50:09,601
an excuse that will be then

1606
00:50:10,100 --> 00:50:11,100
evaluated

1607
00:50:11,100 --> 00:50:13,100
by our city manager instead

1608
00:50:13,100 --> 00:50:14,100
of putting a number

1609
00:50:14,100 --> 00:50:16,100
into the time due to the

1610
00:50:16,100 --> 00:50:18,100
different circumstances that

1611
00:50:18,100 --> 00:50:21,100
can happen. And many of us, I

1612
00:50:21,100 --> 00:50:22,100
mean, we are glad to be able

1613
00:50:22,100 --> 00:50:23,100
to go to the event to,

1614
00:50:23,100 --> 00:50:25,100
like you said, to support and

1615
00:50:25,100 --> 00:50:26,100
to be there because it is

1616
00:50:26,100 --> 00:50:28,100
important for the people that

1617
00:50:28,100 --> 00:50:31,100
are performing these events and

1618
00:50:31,100 --> 00:50:33,100
inviting us.

1619
00:50:35,100 --> 00:50:36,100
>> Through the mayor.

1620
00:50:36,100 --> 00:50:37,100
>> Yes, Councilwoman Reinoso.

1621
00:50:37,100 --> 00:50:38,100
>> So I think there's a level

1622
00:50:38,100 --> 00:50:39,100
of self-reporting,

1623
00:50:39,100 --> 00:50:41,100
self-governing that we need

1624
00:50:41,100 --> 00:50:44,100
to be responsible for. Right.

1625
00:50:46,100 --> 00:50:48,100
And I think your comments are

1626
00:50:48,100 --> 00:50:49,100
very interesting because it

1627
00:50:49,100 --> 00:50:50,100
kind of gives me a read

1628
00:50:50,100 --> 00:50:52,100
on your level of integrity.

1629
00:50:52,100 --> 00:50:53,100
Right. Because as public

1630
00:50:53,100 --> 00:50:55,100
officials, we have

1631
00:50:55,100 --> 00:50:56,100
to have integrity, right. Do

1632
00:50:56,100 --> 00:50:58,100
the right thing when nobody's

1633
00:50:58,100 --> 00:50:59,100
looking. So if there is a

1634
00:50:59,100 --> 00:51:00,100
family emergency,

1635
00:51:00,100 --> 00:51:02,100
if there is a medical

1636
00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:03,100
emergency, I think it is

1637
00:51:03,100 --> 00:51:06,100
to our discretion to alert,

1638
00:51:07,100 --> 00:51:09,100
which will now be the city

1639
00:51:09,100 --> 00:51:10,100
manager of that excuse. I will

1640
00:51:10,100 --> 00:51:12,100
not be making a change, though,

1641
00:51:12,100 --> 00:51:13,100
to the time.

1642
00:51:13,100 --> 00:51:15,100
>> Thank you.

1643
00:51:15,100 --> 00:51:16,100
>> Through the mayor.

1644
00:51:16,100 --> 00:51:17,100
>> Any other questions? Yes,

1645
00:51:17,100 --> 00:51:18,100
Vice Mayor Porras. Go ahead.

1646
00:51:18,100 --> 00:51:19,100
>> Councilman, can you just

1647
00:51:19,100 --> 00:51:21,100
clarify? Because the way that I

1648
00:51:21,100 --> 00:51:23,100
read it. Is the policy is you

1649
00:51:23,100 --> 00:51:25,100
need to notify within 48 hours,

1650
00:51:25,100 --> 00:51:27,100
but with an exception. Right.

1651
00:51:27,100 --> 00:51:29,100
So is the exception obviously

1652
00:51:29,100 --> 00:51:32,100
lower, like less than 48 hours?

1653
00:51:33,100 --> 00:51:35,100
>> Right, correct. Section

1654
00:51:35,100 --> 00:51:36,100
four. I mean,

1655
00:51:36,100 --> 00:51:38,100
let me see where it is.

1656
00:51:38,100 --> 00:51:39,100
>> That's the way that I read

1657
00:51:39,100 --> 00:51:40,100
it.

1658
00:51:40,100 --> 00:51:42,100
>> Yep. Section two,

1659
00:51:42,100 --> 00:51:43,100
is that correct? Yep, that

1660
00:51:43,100 --> 00:51:45,100
would be the correct way.

1661
00:51:45,100 --> 00:51:48,100
>> Any other questions? I do

1662
00:51:48,100 --> 00:51:50,100
have one comment. Just to, you

1663
00:51:50,100 --> 00:51:51,100
know, clarify something. I

1664
00:51:51,100 --> 00:51:53,100
think that this policy is

1665
00:51:53,100 --> 00:51:55,100
warranted because there's been

1666
00:51:55,100 --> 00:51:56,100
repetitive occurrences. I think

1667
00:51:56,100 --> 00:51:59,100
each time we have purchased

1668
00:51:59,100 --> 00:52:01,100
tables or tickets to events,

1669
00:52:01,100 --> 00:52:03,100
we've noticed that continuously

1670
00:52:03,100 --> 00:52:05,100
the same people say they're

1671
00:52:05,100 --> 00:52:07,100
coming and then don't show up.

1672
00:52:07,100 --> 00:52:09,100
And then we have half a table

1673
00:52:09,100 --> 00:52:11,100
empty. When those tickets could

1674
00:52:11,100 --> 00:52:12,100
go to directors that rep will

1675
00:52:12,100 --> 00:52:14,100
that represent the city. They

1676
00:52:14,100 --> 00:52:16,100
can go

1677
00:52:16,100 --> 00:52:17,100
to advisory board members. We

1678
00:52:17,100 --> 00:52:19,100
can invite members

1679
00:52:19,100 --> 00:52:21,100
of the community that want

1680
00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:22,100
to participate

1681
00:52:22,100 --> 00:52:23,100
in this foundation or

1682
00:52:23,100 --> 00:52:24,100
in this, you know,

1683
00:52:24,100 --> 00:52:26,100
in this event. So I think it's

1684
00:52:26,100 --> 00:52:27,100
wasteful spending and,

1685
00:52:27,100 --> 00:52:29,100
and just. I think it's. It's

1686
00:52:29,100 --> 00:52:31,100
disrespectful to say I'm going

1687
00:52:31,100 --> 00:52:33,100
to go to something and then not

1688
00:52:33,100 --> 00:52:34,100
show up. It's disrespectful

1689
00:52:34,100 --> 00:52:36,100
to your colleagues,

1690
00:52:36,100 --> 00:52:37,100
it's disrespectful

1691
00:52:37,100 --> 00:52:38,100
to the administration,

1692
00:52:38,100 --> 00:52:39,100
it's disrespectful

1693
00:52:39,100 --> 00:52:40,100
to the taxpayer. And there's

1694
00:52:40,100 --> 00:52:42,100
been repetitive occurrences.

1695
00:52:42,100 --> 00:52:43,100
And so I think this is a great

1696
00:52:43,100 --> 00:52:45,100
policy. I think it holds us

1697
00:52:45,100 --> 00:52:46,100
accountable. If you're not

1698
00:52:46,100 --> 00:52:47,100
going to go to the event,

1699
00:52:47,100 --> 00:52:48,100
you simply say,

1700
00:52:48,100 --> 00:52:50,100
I won't be able to make it.

1701
00:52:50,100 --> 00:52:51,100
And 48 hours should be enough

1702
00:52:51,100 --> 00:52:53,401
notice to let the

1703
00:52:54,100 --> 00:52:56,100
administration know that they

1704
00:52:56,100 --> 00:52:57,100
can invite someone else.

1705
00:52:57,100 --> 00:52:59,100
Sometimes people get left out

1706
00:52:59,100 --> 00:53:00,100
from our staff because there's

1707
00:53:00,100 --> 00:53:02,100
not enough space. And so I

1708
00:53:02,100 --> 00:53:05,100
think that this is a respectful

1709
00:53:05,100 --> 00:53:07,100
way of taking care of that.

1710
00:53:07,100 --> 00:53:08,100
Now, obviously there's

1711
00:53:08,100 --> 00:53:10,100
self-governance and I think

1712
00:53:10,100 --> 00:53:11,100
that there is common sense. If

1713
00:53:11,100 --> 00:53:13,100
you woke up that morning and

1714
00:53:13,100 --> 00:53:14,100
you're really sick,

1715
00:53:14,100 --> 00:53:16,100
I think that the manager can,

1716
00:53:16,100 --> 00:53:18,100
well, excuse that absence. If

1717
00:53:18,100 --> 00:53:19,100
there's not repetitive

1718
00:53:19,100 --> 00:53:21,100
occurrences. If there's

1719
00:53:21,100 --> 00:53:22,100
repetitive occurrences,

1720
00:53:22,100 --> 00:53:23,100
then that's just, you know,

1721
00:53:23,100 --> 00:53:26,100
someone not being respectful of

1722
00:53:26,100 --> 00:53:28,100
everyone's participation and,

1723
00:53:28,100 --> 00:53:30,100
and obligations. So I'm going

1724
00:53:30,100 --> 00:53:33,100
to be supportive of this. I

1725
00:53:33,100 --> 00:53:34,100
think it's good the way it's

1726
00:53:34,100 --> 00:53:35,100
written. I think there's common

1727
00:53:35,100 --> 00:53:36,100
sense and, and at the end

1728
00:53:36,100 --> 00:53:38,100
of the day, common sense is

1729
00:53:38,100 --> 00:53:39,100
what should govern. So thank

1730
00:53:39,100 --> 00:53:41,100
you very Much.

1731
00:53:42,100 --> 00:53:43,100
>> Again, just to clarify,

1732
00:53:43,100 --> 00:53:44,100
it's 48 hours. But if there's a

1733
00:53:44,100 --> 00:53:46,100
medical emergency,

1734
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:48,100
which would be up

1735
00:53:48,100 --> 00:53:49,100
to the manager, too, obviously

1736
00:53:49,100 --> 00:53:51,100
there would be some

1737
00:53:51,100 --> 00:53:52,100
understanding. And it should

1738
00:53:52,100 --> 00:53:54,100
be, if you have an event

1739
00:53:54,100 --> 00:53:56,100
in the evening,

1740
00:53:56,100 --> 00:53:57,100
if you call early in the

1741
00:53:57,100 --> 00:53:59,100
morning because you're not

1742
00:53:59,100 --> 00:54:00,100
feeling well, unless it's a car

1743
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,100
accident that everybody should

1744
00:54:01,100 --> 00:54:03,100
be able to see. Right. Because

1745
00:54:03,100 --> 00:54:04,100
there's gonna be some evidence

1746
00:54:04,100 --> 00:54:05,100
to it. But if you're feeling

1747
00:54:05,100 --> 00:54:07,100
sick and you know you have an

1748
00:54:07,100 --> 00:54:08,100
event that evening,

1749
00:54:08,100 --> 00:54:09,100
you should be able

1750
00:54:09,100 --> 00:54:10,100
to call the manager in the

1751
00:54:10,100 --> 00:54:11,100
morning or send a text and say,

1752
00:54:11,100 --> 00:54:12,100
I'm not feeling well, you can

1753
00:54:12,100 --> 00:54:13,100
go ahead and give my seat away.

1754
00:54:13,100 --> 00:54:14,100
And maybe the attorney can join

1755
00:54:14,100 --> 00:54:16,100
us, or maybe the manager comes

1756
00:54:16,100 --> 00:54:17,100
with someone else,

1757
00:54:17,100 --> 00:54:18,100
or maybe a director can come,

1758
00:54:18,100 --> 00:54:20,100
or maybe we reach out

1759
00:54:20,100 --> 00:54:21,100
to an advisory board member.

1760
00:54:21,100 --> 00:54:22,100
Maybe someone else

1761
00:54:22,100 --> 00:54:23,100
in staff can join us. And the

1762
00:54:23,100 --> 00:54:24,100
seat doesn't stay empty. The

1763
00:54:24,100 --> 00:54:25,100
table looks. It looks bad

1764
00:54:25,100 --> 00:54:26,100
on the city,

1765
00:54:26,100 --> 00:54:27,100
and it's wasteful spending.

1766
00:54:27,100 --> 00:54:29,100
It's sometimes $150 plate that

1767
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:31,100
goes unattended because members

1768
00:54:31,100 --> 00:54:34,100
of the council didn't show up.

1769
00:54:34,100 --> 00:54:36,100
So I think that we can move

1770
00:54:36,100 --> 00:54:38,100
forward with the way it's

1771
00:54:38,100 --> 00:54:40,100
written.

1772
00:54:40,100 --> 00:54:41,100
>> I have another comment,

1773
00:54:41,100 --> 00:54:42,100
please.

1774
00:54:42,100 --> 00:54:44,100
>> Yes, Councilwoman Cabral.

1775
00:54:45,100 --> 00:54:46,100
>> On section four it says

1776
00:54:46,100 --> 00:54:47,100
exceptions to this policy may

1777
00:54:47,100 --> 00:54:49,100
be granted

00:54:51,100 --> 00:54:52,100
on foreseen conflict

1781
00:54:52,100 --> 00:54:53,100
at the discretion

1782
00:54:53,100 --> 00:54:54,100
of the city manager and

1783
00:54:54,100 --> 00:54:55,100
approval

1784
00:54:55,100 --> 00:54:56,100
of the city council.

1785

>> That's what Councilman

1786
00:54:57,100 --> 00:54:58,100
Reinoso also asked to strike

1787
00:54:58,100 --> 00:54:59,100
out and approve

1788
00:54:59,100 --> 00:55:00,100
of the city council. It's going

1789
00:55:00,100 --> 00:55:01,100
to end at city manager.

1790
00:55:01,100 --> 00:55:02,100
>> Manager, just wanted

1791
00:55:02,100 --> 00:55:03,100
to make sure that.

1792
00:55:03,100 --> 00:55:04,100
>> Yeah, that was the amendment

1793
00:55:04,100 --> 00:55:05,100
she made. Okay. Madam Clerk,

1794
00:55:05,100 --> 00:55:06,100
please call the question.

1795
00:55:06,100 --> 00:55:07,100
>> A motion

1796
00:55:07,100 --> 00:55:08,100
to approve is amended, made

1797
00:55:08,100 --> 00:55:09,100
by Councilman Pineyro, seconded

1798
00:55:09,100 --> 00:55:10,100
by councilman.

[ CALLING ROLL ]

1800
00:55:13,100 --> 00:55:15,100
>> Motion passes.

1801
00:55:15,100 --> 00:55:16,100
>> All right,

1802
00:55:16,100 --> 00:55:17,100
thank you very much. We'll move

1803
00:55:17,100 --> 00:55:18,100
on to the next item. Madam

1804
00:55:18,100 --> 00:55:19,100
Clerk, Item 9d.

1805
00:55:19,100 --> 00:55:20,100
>> A Resolution of the mayor

1806
00:55:20,100 --> 00:55:21,100
and the city council

1807
00:55:21,100 --> 00:55:22,100
of the city of Draw Ford

1808
00:55:22,100 --> 00:55:23,100
authorizing the city manager

1809
00:55:23,100 --> 00:55:25,100
to assess the cost and benefit

1810
00:55:25,100 --> 00:55:26,100
of upgrading the electric

1811
00:55:26,100 --> 00:55:27,100
vehicle charging stations at

1812
00:55:27,100 --> 00:55:28,100
city hall and expanding the

1813
00:55:28,100 --> 00:55:29,100
installation of electrical

1814
00:55:29,100 --> 00:55:30,100
vehicle charging stations,

1815
00:55:30,100 --> 00:55:31,100
city parks, providing

1816
00:55:31,100 --> 00:55:32,100
for authorization,

1817
00:55:32,100 --> 00:55:33,100
implementation, incorporation

1818
00:55:33,100 --> 00:55:34,100
of recitals and an effective

1819
00:55:34,100 --> 00:55:35,100
date.

1820
00:55:35,100 --> 00:55:36,100
>> All right, this is Council

1821
00:55:36,100 --> 00:55:37,100
one Reinoso's item.

1822
00:55:37,100 --> 00:55:38,100
>> Thank you, Mayor.

1823
00:55:38,100 --> 00:55:39,100
>> Yes.

1824
00:55:39,100 --> 00:55:40,100
>> So I spoke to a few

1825
00:55:40,100 --> 00:55:41,100
of our residents, and one

1826
00:55:41,100 --> 00:55:42,100
of the concerns was, you know,

1827
00:55:42,100 --> 00:55:43,100
we are a smart city. This is

1828
00:55:43,100 --> 00:55:44,100
2025. And chargers charging

1829
00:55:44,100 --> 00:55:46,100
stations do not take multiple

1830
00:55:46,100 --> 00:55:49,100
hours to charge a vehicle. So

1831
00:55:49,100 --> 00:55:51,401
in our city building,

1832
00:55:52,100 --> 00:55:54,100
we have a few chargers. They

1833
00:55:54,100 --> 00:55:56,100
take an excessive amount

1834
00:55:56,100 --> 00:55:58,100
of time to charge. So I think

1835
00:55:58,100 --> 00:55:59,100
we need to revisit the charging

1836
00:55:59,100 --> 00:56:01,100
stations that we have and also

1837
00:56:01,100 --> 00:56:02,100
provide opportunities

1838
00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:03,100
to our city,

1839
00:56:03,100 --> 00:56:05,100
provide opportunity

1840
00:56:05,100 --> 00:56:06,100
to our residents of having

1841
00:56:06,100 --> 00:56:08,100
additional charging stations

1842
00:56:08,100 --> 00:56:09,100
at our parks. Right? We want

1843
00:56:09,100 --> 00:56:10,100
to make it easy for people

1844
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:11,100
to come visit our city. Our

1845
00:56:11,100 --> 00:56:13,100
residents come, charge up the

1846
00:56:13,100 --> 00:56:14,100
car and not have an issue

1847
00:56:14,100 --> 00:56:15,100
with that. This

1848
00:56:15,100 --> 00:56:17,100
in modern times,

1849
00:56:17,100 --> 00:56:18,100
modern solutions. And I think

1850
00:56:18,100 --> 00:56:19,100
this is a great step to 2025

1851
00:56:19,100 --> 00:56:21,100
and the things that we need

1852
00:56:21,100 --> 00:56:24,601
to do to modernize our city

1853
00:56:25,100 --> 00:56:27,100
infrastructure improvements.

1854
00:56:28,100 --> 00:56:29,100
>> All right, yes,

1855
00:56:29,100 --> 00:56:31,401
Councilwoman, we have Carlos

1856
00:56:32,100 --> 00:56:34,100
Arroyo here,

1857
00:56:34,100 --> 00:56:35,100
our public works director. He

1858
00:56:35,100 --> 00:56:37,100
has his presentation and will

1859
00:56:37,100 --> 00:56:40,100
speak to more or less what our

1860
00:56:40,100 --> 00:56:42,100
proposal is for the city garage

1861
00:56:42,100 --> 00:56:44,100
and the parks.

1862
00:56:44,100 --> 00:56:46,100
>> Great.

1863
00:56:46,100 --> 00:56:48,100
>> Morning, Mayor, vice mayor,

1864
00:56:48,100 --> 00:56:49,100
council members, city manager,

1865
00:56:49,100 --> 00:56:50,100
city attorney, city clerk

1866
00:56:50,100 --> 00:56:52,100
members, in the,

1867
00:56:52,100 --> 00:56:53,100
in the public. Carlos Arroyo,

1868
00:56:53,100 --> 00:56:54,100
Director I'm going to go fast

1869
00:56:54,100 --> 00:56:56,100
because I know you had

1870
00:56:56,100 --> 00:56:57,100
to leave at 11:30. So we

1871
00:56:57,100 --> 00:56:59,100
currently have

1872
00:57:00,100 --> 00:57:02,100
at the government center,

1873
00:57:02,100 --> 00:57:03,100
the existing infrastructure,

1874
00:57:03,100 --> 00:57:04,100
we have four chargers, right?

1875
00:57:04,100 --> 00:57:05,100
We have all our chargers are

1876
00:57:05,100 --> 00:57:07,100
charge point. We have two dual

1877
00:57:07,100 --> 00:57:09,401
pedestal and two single

1878
00:57:10,100 --> 00:57:11,100
pedestal, right? We have two

1879
00:57:11,100 --> 00:57:14,100
chargers at the training and

1880
00:57:14,100 --> 00:57:15,100
community center. One is

1881
00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:17,100
single, another one is dual.

1882
00:57:17,100 --> 00:57:18,100
All of them are charge point.

1883
00:57:18,100 --> 00:57:20,100
And at the parks,

1884
00:57:20,100 --> 00:57:21,100
we have four duals at the

1885
00:57:21,100 --> 00:57:23,100
Doral Central park

1886
00:57:24,100 --> 00:57:26,100
on the west parking lot,

1887
00:57:26,100 --> 00:57:28,100
right? So the cost

1888
00:57:28,100 --> 00:57:30,100
of these chargers, you know,

1889
00:57:30,100 --> 00:57:33,100
we have it here, the MSRP,

1890
00:57:33,100 --> 00:57:34,100
for example, the,

1891
00:57:34,100 --> 00:57:36,100
the single pedestal is 2800.

1892
00:57:36,100 --> 00:57:38,100
We purchase them through the

1893
00:57:38,100 --> 00:57:39,100
sheriff state contract,

1894
00:57:39,100 --> 00:57:41,100
which makes them cheaper

1895
00:57:41,100 --> 00:57:42,100
for us. We have the cost here

1896
00:57:42,100 --> 00:57:44,100
of the dual two also, which is

1897
00:57:44,100 --> 00:57:46,100
$8,000, and we pay for 4,600.

1898
00:57:46,100 --> 00:57:49,100
And those are level two and the

1899
00:57:49,100 --> 00:57:51,100
level three,

1900
00:57:51,100 --> 00:57:54,100
which the MSRP is almost

1901
00:57:54,100 --> 00:57:55,100
$40,000. We pay 28,000. So all

1902
00:57:55,100 --> 00:57:57,100
these are just a separate note.

1903
00:57:57,100 --> 00:57:59,100
All these are installed

1904
00:57:59,100 --> 00:58:00,100
by city staff here at the

1905
00:58:00,100 --> 00:58:03,100
Garment Center. So here we can

1906
00:58:03,100 --> 00:58:05,100
see the location of the

1907
00:58:05,100 --> 00:58:06,100
existing infrastructure here,

1908
00:58:06,100 --> 00:58:08,100
the parking garage,

1909
00:58:08,100 --> 00:58:09,100
we have the two double ones on

1910
00:58:09,100 --> 00:58:11,100
the first floor and the single

1911
00:58:11,100 --> 00:58:13,100
and the double one

1912
00:58:13,100 --> 00:58:14,100
at the third floor.

1913
00:58:14,100 --> 00:58:16,100
ChargePoint provides us

1914
00:58:18,100 --> 00:58:19,100
with a dashboard, right? We

1915
00:58:19,100 --> 00:58:21,100
also have an internal one. The

1916
00:58:21,100 --> 00:58:22,100
one

1917
00:58:22,100 --> 00:58:24,100
on the top is the one provided

1918
00:58:24,100 --> 00:58:25,100
by ChargePoint, which basically

1919
00:58:25,100 --> 00:58:26,100
tracks usage, consumption, you

1920
00:58:26,100 --> 00:58:28,100
know, session length,

1921
00:58:28,100 --> 00:58:30,100
the electricity dispense

1922
00:58:30,100 --> 00:58:33,100
energy, etc. Right. And we have

1923
00:58:33,100 --> 00:58:34,100
an internal one which feeds

1924
00:58:34,100 --> 00:58:36,100
from the one that ChargePoint

1925
00:58:36,100 --> 00:58:38,100
provides. Currently, the

1926
00:58:38,100 --> 00:58:41,100
service is free for everyone.

1927
00:58:42,100 --> 00:58:44,100
So, you know, the average cost

1928
00:58:44,100 --> 00:58:46,401
at the government center

1929
00:58:48,100 --> 00:58:50,100
for kilowatts per hour is 25

1930
00:58:50,100 --> 00:58:52,100
cents. That's from March of

1931
00:58:52,100 --> 00:58:54,100
2024 to March of 2025. And the

1932
00:58:54,100 --> 00:58:56,100
actual energy dispense, the FPL

1933
00:58:56,100 --> 00:58:57,100
bill approximately totals

1934
00:58:57,100 --> 00:58:59,401
$3,000 for those vehicles. So

1935
00:59:00,100 --> 00:59:03,100
here at the facility we pay

1936
00:59:03,100 --> 00:59:05,401
monthly an average of $14,000

1937
00:59:06,100 --> 00:59:08,100
in FPL bills. And 3,000 is

1938
00:59:08,100 --> 00:59:10,100
for that. Right. So just an

1939
00:59:10,100 --> 00:59:12,100
interesting note. And as per

1940
00:59:12,100 --> 00:59:13,100
the EBA, every passenger

1941
00:59:13,100 --> 00:59:15,100
vehicle emits approximately

1942
00:59:15,100 --> 00:59:16,100
4.6 tons

1943
00:59:16,100 --> 00:59:18,100
of carbon dioxide per year.

1944
00:59:18,100 --> 00:59:20,100
Right. And based

1945
00:59:20,100 --> 00:59:21,100
on this value, the cities has

1946
00:59:21,100 --> 00:59:23,100
helped prevent the emission of

1947
00:59:23,100 --> 00:59:24,100
approximately half a million

1948
00:59:24,100 --> 00:59:26,401
pounds of greenhouse gases.

1949
00:59:27,100 --> 00:59:28,100
And this is like planting

1950
00:59:28,100 --> 00:59:30,100
like 5,800 trees and letting

1951
00:59:30,100 --> 00:59:33,100
them grow for 10 years. So we

1952
00:59:33,100 --> 00:59:36,100
are the only free chargers

1953
00:59:38,100 --> 00:59:41,601
in the area right now. Right.

1954
00:59:42,100 --> 00:59:43,100
So we've been discussions

1955
00:59:43,100 --> 00:59:45,100
with the city manager's office

1956
00:59:45,100 --> 00:59:46,100
to look at the possibility

1957
00:59:46,100 --> 00:59:49,100
of charging to recoup some

1958
00:59:50,100 --> 00:59:51,100
of these sort of funding's that

1959
00:59:51,100 --> 00:59:53,100
we're spending. Right. And also

1960
00:59:53,100 --> 00:59:54,100
to promote, transfer, use and

1961
00:59:54,100 --> 00:59:56,100
prevent or minimize abuse.

1962
00:59:56,100 --> 00:59:59,100
Okay. So some of the examples

1963
00:59:59,100 --> 01:00:01,100
in the area,

1964
01:00:01,100 --> 01:00:03,100
you have some chargers

1965
01:00:03,100 --> 01:00:04,100
at downtown Doral Paseo

1966
01:00:04,100 --> 01:00:06,100
boulevard, they charge 125 per

1967
01:00:06,100 --> 01:00:09,100
hour. They have a 30 minute

1968
01:00:09,100 --> 01:00:10,100
grace period and

1969
01:00:10,100 --> 01:00:12,100
after the time has expired,

1970
01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:13,100
the rate increases. Right. Per

1971
01:00:13,100 --> 01:00:15,100
hour. So the city of Miami

1972
01:00:15,100 --> 01:00:17,100
Springs, for example,

1973
01:00:17,100 --> 01:00:18,100
they charge 99 cents per

1974
01:00:18,100 --> 01:00:20,100
session plus 150 per hour. And

1975
01:00:20,100 --> 01:00:23,100
the city of Coral Gables, they

1976
01:00:23,100 --> 01:00:25,100
charge 30 cents per kilowatt

1977
01:00:25,100 --> 01:00:27,100
hour. And they have also a 30

1978
01:00:27,100 --> 01:00:29,100
minute grace period. And after

1979
01:00:29,100 --> 01:00:32,100
that the time hacks expired,

1980
01:00:32,100 --> 01:00:33,100
the rate increases by 3 cents

1981
01:00:33,100 --> 01:00:35,100
per minute. Okay. So as per the

1982
01:00:35,100 --> 01:00:37,100
Car and Driver magazine,

1983
01:00:37,100 --> 01:00:39,100
the average charging cost In

1984
01:00:39,100 --> 01:00:41,100
Miami, it's $0.36 kilowatts per

1985
01:00:41,100 --> 01:00:43,100
hour and the average charging

1986
01:00:43,100 --> 01:00:46,100
cost in the nation is 55 cents.

1987
01:00:46,100 --> 01:00:48,100
Okay, so we're going to look

1988
01:00:48,100 --> 01:00:50,100
into the possibility

1989
01:00:50,100 --> 01:00:53,100
of an establishing a rate with

1990
01:00:53,100 --> 01:00:54,100
the city manager's office and

1991
01:00:54,100 --> 01:00:56,100
see how we could charge if

1992
01:00:56,100 --> 01:00:57,100
we're going

1993
01:00:57,100 --> 01:00:58,100
to move that route. Right. The

1994
01:00:58,100 --> 01:01:00,100
current system allows us

1995
01:01:00,100 --> 01:01:01,100
to have various options. We can

1996
01:01:01,100 --> 01:01:03,100
have not charge some vehicles

1997
01:01:03,100 --> 01:01:06,100
or give a couple of hours free

1998
01:01:06,100 --> 01:01:08,100
and then increase the charging.

1999
01:01:08,100 --> 01:01:10,100
There's various options that we

2000
01:01:10,100 --> 01:01:12,100
could look at. So in order

2001
01:01:12,100 --> 01:01:14,100
for us

2002
01:01:16,100 --> 01:01:18,100
to improve the capabilities,

2003
01:01:18,100 --> 01:01:19,100
increase the infrastructure

2004
01:01:19,100 --> 01:01:21,100
at the government center,

2005
01:01:21,100 --> 01:01:23,100
we apply for a grant. It's

2006
01:01:23,100 --> 01:01:24,100
called the EECBG, the Energy

2007
01:01:24,100 --> 01:01:26,100
Efficiency Conservation Block

2008
01:01:27,100 --> 01:01:29,100
Grant that was awarded by the

2009
01:01:29,100 --> 01:01:32,100
Department of Energy. So the

2010
01:01:32,100 --> 01:01:34,401
city got awarded $140,000 and

2011
01:01:35,100 --> 01:01:36,100
it's going to be used

2012
01:01:36,100 --> 01:01:37,100
for these purposes. So we need

2013
01:01:37,100 --> 01:01:39,100
to actually increase the

2014
01:01:39,100 --> 01:01:41,100
electrical panel output and

2015
01:01:41,100 --> 01:01:42,100
also install a new transformer.

2016
01:01:42,100 --> 01:01:45,100
Right. So the plan is

2017
01:01:47,100 --> 01:01:48,100
to add those, improve the

2018
01:01:48,100 --> 01:01:50,401
panel, add the transformer,

2019
01:01:51,100 --> 01:01:53,100
install the infrastructure and

2020
01:01:53,100 --> 01:01:55,100
then add five dual pedestrian

2021
01:01:55,100 --> 01:01:57,100
chargers and one level three

2022
01:01:57,100 --> 01:01:59,100
single pedestal Charger, which

2023
01:01:59,100 --> 01:02:01,100
will be located

2024
01:02:01,100 --> 01:02:02,100
on the first and the third

2025
01:02:02,100 --> 01:02:04,100
floor of the parking garage.

2026
01:02:04,100 --> 01:02:06,100
So here you have the locations.

2027
01:02:06,100 --> 01:02:08,100
We currently have two double

2028
01:02:08,100 --> 01:02:09,100
chargers on the first floor.

2029
01:02:09,100 --> 01:02:11,100
We're going

2030
01:02:12,100 --> 01:02:13,100
to add an additional two. So

2031
01:02:13,100 --> 01:02:14,100
we're going to have a total

2032
01:02:14,100 --> 01:02:16,100
of four. And one level three,

2033
01:02:16,100 --> 01:02:17,100
which is the fast one. And we

2034
01:02:17,100 --> 01:02:18,100
are,

2035
01:02:18,100 --> 01:02:20,100
we're adding three doubles

2036
01:02:20,100 --> 01:02:21,100
on the, on the third floor

2037
01:02:21,100 --> 01:02:22,100
of the parking garage. That's

2038
01:02:22,100 --> 01:02:23,100
going to give us 17 ports.

2039
01:02:23,100 --> 01:02:26,601
And, you know, that's it. If

2040
01:02:31,100 --> 01:02:33,100
you have any questions.

2041
01:02:33,100 --> 01:02:34,100
>> Thank you very much.

2042
01:02:34,100 --> 01:02:35,100
>> I tried to go fast,

2043
01:02:35,100 --> 01:02:36,100
but any questions

2044
01:02:36,100 --> 01:02:38,100
from the council?

2045
01:02:38,100 --> 01:02:40,100
>> Through the mayor?

2046
01:02:40,100 --> 01:02:41,100
>> Yes, Councilwoman Reinoso.

2047
01:02:41,100 --> 01:02:42,100
>> I would like

2048
01:02:42,100 --> 01:02:43,100
for the city manager

2049
01:02:43,100 --> 01:02:44,100
to consider,

2050
01:02:44,100 --> 01:02:45,100
consider the possibility

2051
01:02:45,100 --> 01:02:46,100
of not charging our employees

2052
01:02:46,100 --> 01:02:47,100
to use the charging points,

2053
01:02:47,100 --> 01:02:48,100
whether it's

2054
01:02:48,100 --> 01:02:50,100
in the city building or

2055
01:02:50,100 --> 01:02:52,100
at our parks.

2056
01:02:53,100 --> 01:02:54,100
>> Through the mayor. Yes,

2057
01:02:54,100 --> 01:02:57,100
Councilwoman. So what we have

2058
01:02:57,100 --> 01:02:58,100
discussed is that certain the

2059
01:02:58,100 --> 01:03:00,100
companies that we have,

2060
01:03:00,100 --> 01:03:03,100
they have a way to be able

2061
01:03:03,100 --> 01:03:05,100
to obtain codes or be able

2062
01:03:05,100 --> 01:03:07,100
to exempt our employees

2063
01:03:07,100 --> 01:03:10,100
from doing that here or at any

2064
01:03:10,100 --> 01:03:13,100
of the chargers that we have.

2065
01:03:13,100 --> 01:03:15,100
So, yes, we are definitely

2066
01:03:15,100 --> 01:03:17,100
considering that as well. I

2067
01:03:17,100 --> 01:03:19,100
think with respect

2068
01:03:19,100 --> 01:03:21,100
to the charging, I think the

2069
01:03:21,100 --> 01:03:22,100
conversation that I've had

2070
01:03:22,100 --> 01:03:24,100
with staff is really not about

2071
01:03:24,100 --> 01:03:26,401
necessarily covering the cost

2072
01:03:27,100 --> 01:03:29,100
of the electricity,

2073
01:03:29,100 --> 01:03:30,100
although it will go

2074
01:03:30,100 --> 01:03:31,100
to cover the cost of the

2075
01:03:31,100 --> 01:03:32,100
electricity that we're

2076
01:03:32,100 --> 01:03:34,100
spending, but also because we

2077
01:03:34,100 --> 01:03:35,100
find that there's a lot of

2078
01:03:35,100 --> 01:03:36,100
people that come and leave

2079
01:03:36,100 --> 01:03:38,100
their cars

2080
01:03:38,100 --> 01:03:39,100
for extended periods

2081
01:03:39,100 --> 01:03:40,100
of time here in our garage.

2082
01:03:40,100 --> 01:03:41,100
They don't pick up their cars.

2083
01:03:41,100 --> 01:03:43,100
There are kids that are going

2084
01:03:43,100 --> 01:03:46,100
to school and leaving their

2085
01:03:46,100 --> 01:03:47,100
cars charging while they're

2086
01:03:47,100 --> 01:03:49,100
at school. And we don't get

2087
01:03:49,100 --> 01:03:51,100
to be able to have the service

2088
01:03:51,100 --> 01:03:53,100
for everyone to be able

2089
01:03:53,100 --> 01:03:54,100
to use it. So not only do we

2090
01:03:54,100 --> 01:03:55,100
want to expand the amount

2091
01:03:55,100 --> 01:03:57,100
of chargers that we have,

2092
01:03:57,100 --> 01:03:58,100
but we want to be able to make

2093
01:03:58,100 --> 01:03:59,100
sure that it's being used

2094
01:03:59,100 --> 01:04:01,100
responsibly by the user. So

2095
01:04:01,100 --> 01:04:04,100
that's one part of it. The

2096
01:04:04,100 --> 01:04:07,100
other part is that I also would

2097
01:04:07,100 --> 01:04:09,100
like to take some time to look

2098
01:04:09,100 --> 01:04:11,100
into which public works is

2099
01:04:11,100 --> 01:04:13,100
going to do. There are

2100
01:04:13,100 --> 01:04:15,100
companies that also want

2101
01:04:15,100 --> 01:04:16,100
to enter into agreements so it

2102
01:04:16,100 --> 01:04:18,100
doesn't bring a cost to us

2103
01:04:18,100 --> 01:04:20,100
to put the infrastructure

2104
01:04:20,100 --> 01:04:21,100
in and that we can enter

2105
01:04:21,100 --> 01:04:23,100
into agreements

2106
01:04:23,100 --> 01:04:25,100
in that sense. We prepared this

2107
01:04:25,100 --> 01:04:26,100
brief presentation

2108
01:04:26,100 --> 01:04:28,100
for the meeting

2109
01:04:28,100 --> 01:04:29,100
to inform you, but obviously

2110
01:04:29,100 --> 01:04:31,100
this would come back should we

2111
01:04:31,100 --> 01:04:32,100
decide to actually institute a

2112
01:04:32,100 --> 01:04:34,100
policy and do everything else.

2113
01:04:34,100 --> 01:04:36,100
So I thank the council woman

2114
01:04:36,100 --> 01:04:37,100
for bringing this forward. And

2115
01:04:37,100 --> 01:04:39,100
we're, we're definitely want

2116
01:04:39,100 --> 01:04:41,100
to move in this direction and

2117
01:04:41,100 --> 01:04:43,100

right, we're going to take up

2145
01:05:22,100 --> 01:05:23,100
Clerk, you put this item. I

2146
01:05:23,100 --> 01:05:25,100
think everybody put the fourth,

2147
01:05:25,100 --> 01:05:26,100
their names as best as possible

2148
01:05:26,100 --> 01:05:28,100
with the changes that was made

2149
01:05:28,100 --> 01:05:30,100
to the policy was very

2150
01:05:30,100 --> 01:05:32,100
difficult because there was a

2151
01:05:32,100 --> 01:05:33,100
lot of people who wanted

2152
01:05:33,100 --> 01:05:34,100
to participate for the first

2153
01:05:34,100 --> 01:05:35,100
time and reasons why I was not

2154
01:05:35,100 --> 01:05:36,100
in favor of amending the policy

2155
01:05:36,100 --> 01:05:38,100
last time. It creates an undue

2156
01:05:38,100 --> 01:05:40,100
burden on residents who want to

2157
01:05:40,100 --> 01:05:42,100
start getting involved and

2158
01:05:42,100 --> 01:05:43,100
haven't been able

2159
01:05:43,100 --> 01:05:45,100
to participate in the past. So

2160
01:05:45,100 --> 01:05:46,100
in the evening, we'll be

2161
01:05:46,100 --> 01:05:48,100
amending the ordinances again

2162
01:05:48,100 --> 01:05:50,100
so that people can be added.

2163
01:05:50,100 --> 01:05:52,100
So I foresee that we will be

2164
01:05:52,100 --> 01:05:54,100
bringing back more names in

2352

>> Thank you, Madam Clerk. So I

2353
01:10:21,100 --> 01:10:23,100
just wanted to bring it to

2354
01:10:23,100 --> 01:10:25,100
everybody's attention. I

2355
01:10:25,100 --> 01:10:26,100
actually reviewed all the

2356
01:10:26,100 --> 01:10:27,100
applications for each of the

2357
01:10:27,100 --> 01:10:28,100
organizations that applied.

2358
01:10:28,100 --> 01:10:29,100
There was three that were left

2359
01:10:29,100 --> 01:10:30,100
out which I felt were not only

2360
01:10:30,100 --> 01:10:31,100
beneficial to the community,

2361
01:10:31,100 --> 01:10:33,100
but also equally deserving.

2362
01:10:33,100 --> 01:10:34,100
And so I'd like to ask for us

2363
01:10:34,100 --> 01:10:35,100
to fund them at $2,500 apiece.

2364
01:10:35,100 --> 01:10:36,100
If there's any questions. I

2365
01:10:36,100 --> 01:10:38,100
spoke to the CFO and the

2366
01:10:38,100 --> 01:10:39,100
manager's office and there is

2367
01:10:39,100 --> 01:10:40,100
funding that we can allocate.

2368
01:10:40,100 --> 01:10:42,100
And so I would request that we

2369
01:10:42,100 --> 01:10:43,100
please go ahead and fund those

2370
01:10:43,100 --> 01:10:45,100
three organizations as well.

2371
01:10:45,100 --> 01:10:46,100
If anybody has any questions,

2372
01:10:46,100 --> 01:10:47,100
it is. Give me one second. So

2373
01:10:47,100 --> 01:10:49,100
one

2374
01:10:49,100 --> 01:10:53,201
of them is memory OK corp. The

2375
01:10:56,100 --> 01:10:59,100
other one is power 2 voice

2376
01:11:00,100 --> 01:11:02,100
corp. And the other one is

2377
01:11:02,100 --> 01:11:03,100
education for all. All

2378
01:11:03,100 --> 01:11:05,100
of them nonprofit. If there's

2379
01:11:05,100 --> 01:11:07,100
no objections,

2380
01:11:07,100 --> 01:11:09,401
I need a motion.

2381

This was pulled by council

2485
01:13:32,100 --> 01:13:33,100
Mona.

2486
01:13:33,100 --> 01:13:34,100
>> Okay, Madam Clerk, thank you

2487
01:13:34,100 --> 01:13:35,100
very much. Councilman Cabral,

2488
01:13:35,100 --> 01:13:36,100
you pulled this item.

2489
01:13:36,100 --> 01:13:37,100
>> Yes, thank you. I decided to

2490
01:13:37,100 --> 01:13:38,100
pull this item because I know

2491
01:13:38,100 --> 01:13:39,100
that it's offensive item. And

2492
01:13:39,100 --> 01:13:40,100
so many residents that have

2493
01:13:40,100 --> 01:13:41,100
already reached

2494
01:13:41,100 --> 01:13:42,100
out asking questions. And I

2495
01:13:42,100 --> 01:13:43,100
know that they're very

2496
01:13:43,100 --> 01:13:44,100
concerned

2497
01:13:44,100 --> 01:13:45,100
on how things might be handled.

2498
01:13:45,100 --> 01:13:46,100
How things, unfortunately,

2499
01:13:46,100 --> 01:13:47,100
have been handled in some other

2500
01:13:47,100 --> 01:13:49,100
states and municipalities.

2501
01:13:49,100 --> 01:13:51,100
So, I know that this was our

2502
01:13:51,100 --> 01:13:52,100
police chief who plays

2503
01:13:52,100 --> 01:13:54,100
in the agenda. And I wanted to

2504
01:13:54,100 --> 01:13:55,100
through the mayor,

2505
01:13:55,100 --> 01:13:56,100
to the manager. I would like

2506
01:13:56,100 --> 01:13:58,100
to ask some questions

2507
01:13:58,100 --> 01:14:00,100
to our chief.

2508
01:14:08,100 --> 01:14:10,100
>> Yes, Chief, if you could

2509
01:14:10,100 --> 01:14:12,100
come up.

2510
01:14:13,100 --> 01:14:14,100
>> Please, to the mayor,

2511
01:14:14,100 --> 01:14:16,100
to the councilwoman. If I can

2512
01:14:16,100 --> 01:14:17,100
lay down just a couple

2513
01:14:17,100 --> 01:14:18,100
of facts and issues

2514
01:14:18,100 --> 01:14:19,100
with regards to this

2515
01:14:19,100 --> 01:14:20,100
before the Chief speaks.

2516
01:14:20,100 --> 01:14:22,100
>> Yes, Mr. City Attorney.

2517
01:14:22,100 --> 01:14:23,100
Yes, absolutely.

2518
01:14:23,100 --> 01:14:25,100
>> Thank you very much, Madam

2519
01:14:25,100 --> 01:14:26,100
Mayor. Thank you, Council. I

2520
01:14:26,100 --> 01:14:28,100
just wanted

2521
01:14:28,100 --> 01:14:29,100
for the council members to

2522
01:14:29,100 --> 01:14:30,100
understand the reason why this

2523
01:14:30,100 --> 01:14:31,100
item was brought before you.

2524
01:14:31,100 --> 01:14:34,100
This is an item that pretty

2525
01:14:34,100 --> 01:14:36,100
much all

2526
01:14:36,100 --> 01:14:38,100
of local governments,

2527
01:14:39,100 --> 01:14:41,100
sheriff's offices, municipal

2528
01:14:41,100 --> 01:14:43,100
police departments have been

2529
01:14:43,100 --> 01:14:45,100
asked to enter and the

2530
01:14:45,100 --> 01:14:47,100
Attorney General, James

2531
01:14:47,100 --> 01:14:49,100
Oatesmeyer has taken the

2532
01:14:49,100 --> 01:14:51,100
position that not signing the

2533
01:14:51,100 --> 01:14:53,100
letter is violative of

2534
01:14:53,100 --> 01:14:55,100
Florida Statutes. 908102 what

2535
01:14:56,100 --> 01:14:58,100
908102 is, it's called the

2536
01:14:58,100 --> 01:15:00,401
Sanctuary City Law. Sanctuary

2537
01:15:02,100 --> 01:15:03,100
city, the definition is a local

2538
01:15:03,100 --> 01:15:05,100
government that adopts or a law

2539
01:15:05,100 --> 01:15:08,100
or policy that has that impedes

2540
01:15:08,100 --> 01:15:10,401
a law enforcement agency

2541
01:15:11,100 --> 01:15:13,100
from complying with either

2542
01:15:13,100 --> 01:15:15,100
immigration law or impedes a

2543
01:15:15,100 --> 01:15:17,100
law enforcement agency

2544
01:15:17,100 --> 01:15:19,100
from communicating cooperating

2545
01:15:19,100 --> 01:15:21,100
with a federal immigration

2546
01:15:21,100 --> 01:15:23,100
agency.

2547
01:15:23,100 --> 01:15:24,100
In this letter that they sent

2548
01:15:24,100 --> 01:15:25,100
The City of Fort Myers on

2549
01:15:25,100 --> 01:15:26,100
March 18, 2025, the Attorney

2550
01:15:26,100 --> 01:15:29,100
General opined that the council

2551
01:15:29,100 --> 01:15:31,401
disapproving the signing. It

2552
01:15:32,100 --> 01:15:33,100
was a 33 vote. So it died the

2553
01:15:33,100 --> 01:15:35,100
motion and by dying it said

2554
01:15:35,100 --> 01:15:37,100
that the city had violated the

2555
01:15:37,100 --> 01:15:39,100
Sanctuary City Law 908102 and

2556
01:15:39,100 --> 01:15:41,100
that it could, and I quote,

2557
01:15:41,100 --> 01:15:42,100
states sanctuary policies are

2558
01:15:42,100 --> 01:15:44,100
not tolerated or lawful in

2559
01:15:44,100 --> 01:15:46,100
Florida. Immediate corrective

2560
01:15:46,100 --> 01:15:48,100
action is required. Failure to

2561
01:15:48,100 --> 01:15:49,100
correct the council's action

2562
01:15:49,100 --> 01:15:51,100
will result in the enforcement

2563
01:15:51,100 --> 01:15:52,100
of all applicable civil and

2564
01:15:52,100 --> 01:15:54,100
criminal penalties, including

2565
01:15:54,100 --> 01:15:55,100
but not limited to being held

2566
01:15:55,100 --> 01:15:57,100
in contempt, declaratory

2567
01:15:57,100 --> 01:15:58,100
injunctive relief and removal

2568
01:15:58,100 --> 01:16:01,100
from office. By the governor.

2569
01:16:02,100 --> 01:16:04,100
Recently, two days ago, on

2570
01:16:04,100 --> 01:16:06,100
April 14, 2025, in the city

2571
01:16:06,100 --> 01:16:08,100
of Orlando, the counsel who had

2572
01:16:08,100 --> 01:16:10,100
signed 287 decided to take an

2573
01:16:10,100 --> 01:16:12,100
action or pass a resolution

2574
01:16:12,100 --> 01:16:14,100
that would somewhat minimize

2575
01:16:14,100 --> 01:16:16,100
what the police department

2576
01:16:16,100 --> 01:16:17,100
could do. And

2577
01:16:17,100 --> 01:16:18,100
in a similar fashion, the

2578
01:16:18,100 --> 01:16:20,100
Attorney General sent a similar

2579
01:16:20,100 --> 01:16:21,100
letter threatening that it

2580
01:16:21,100 --> 01:16:23,100
violated 908, 102 and that

2581
01:16:23,100 --> 01:16:25,100
by doing so the city of

2582
01:16:25,100 --> 01:16:26,100
Orlando could face criminal

2583
01:16:26,100 --> 01:16:28,100
civil penalties and a removal

2584
01:16:28,100 --> 01:16:29,100
from office. I can tell you

2585
01:16:29,100 --> 01:16:31,100
that in the case of the City

2586
01:16:31,100 --> 01:16:33,100
of Fort Myers, what ended up

2587
01:16:33,100 --> 01:16:35,100
happening is that the city

2588
01:16:35,100 --> 01:16:38,100
reconvened and they did pass

2589
01:16:38,100 --> 01:16:39,100
the 287 and I believe that the

2590
01:16:39,100 --> 01:16:41,100
City of Orlando is also not

2591
01:16:41,100 --> 01:16:43,100
passing that resolution.

2592
01:16:52,100 --> 01:16:53,100
Attorney General's opinion are

2593
01:16:53,100 --> 01:16:55,401
not necessarily binding, but

2594
01:16:56,100 --> 01:16:59,100
they are persuasive and most

2595
01:16:59,100 --> 01:17:00,100
local governments follow their

2596
01:17:00,100 --> 01:17:02,100
lead. I can give you one

2597
01:17:02,100 --> 01:17:04,100
example. Earlier today we did

2598
01:17:04,100 --> 01:17:06,100
pass a resolution authorizing

2599
01:17:06,100 --> 01:17:07,100
myself as a city attorney

2600
01:17:07,100 --> 01:17:09,100
to take action

2601
01:17:09,100 --> 01:17:11,100
against the tax Collector.

2602
01:17:11,100 --> 01:17:12,100
Should the tax collector decide

2603
01:17:12,100 --> 01:17:13,100
to withhold the 2%? That whole

2604
01:17:13,100 --> 01:17:15,100
argument is based

2605
01:17:15,100 --> 01:17:16,100
on attorney general opinions

2606
01:17:16,100 --> 01:17:18,100
from 1970s. The City of Doral

2607
01:17:18,100 --> 01:17:20,100
does not allow for certain

2608
01:17:20,100 --> 01:17:22,100
electronic participation

2609
01:17:22,100 --> 01:17:23,100
to count for quorum based

2610
01:17:23,100 --> 01:17:24,100
on an Attorney General's

2611
01:17:24,100 --> 01:17:26,100
opinion of what quorum means

2612
01:17:26,100 --> 01:17:27,100
and their interpretation

2613
01:17:27,100 --> 01:17:29,100
of statute. And that's followed

2614
01:17:29,100 --> 01:17:30,100
by the entire state. So

2615
01:17:30,100 --> 01:17:31,100
attorney General opinions are

2616
01:17:31,100 --> 01:17:33,100
extremely persuasive and they

2617
01:17:33,100 --> 01:17:34,100
are followed and they're.

2618
01:17:34,100 --> 01:17:36,100
Besides that, the Attorney

2619
01:17:36,100 --> 01:17:39,100
General does have the authority

2620
01:17:39,100 --> 01:17:40,100
to do what he is stating here,

2621
01:17:40,100 --> 01:17:41,100
enforcing criminal penalties

2622
01:17:41,100 --> 01:17:43,100
and civil penalties amongst all

2623
01:17:43,100 --> 01:17:44,100
of you passing this is painful

2624
01:17:44,100 --> 01:17:46,100
for all of us. We're all

2625
01:17:46,100 --> 01:17:48,100
immigrants. I'm an immigrant.

2626
01:17:48,100 --> 01:17:49,100
Everyone here is. We all have

2627
01:17:49,100 --> 01:17:51,401
families that derive from

2628
01:17:52,100 --> 01:17:53,100
different places where right

2629
01:17:53,100 --> 01:17:55,100
now there's great suffering

2630
01:17:55,100 --> 01:17:57,100
for what's going on

2631
01:17:57,100 --> 01:17:58,100
in confusion. Nevertheless, we

2632
01:17:58,100 --> 01:18:00,100
all took oaths to defend and

2633
01:18:00,100 --> 01:18:02,100
protect the. I took my oaths

2634
01:18:02,100 --> 01:18:04,100
and you did as well. And this

2635
01:18:04,100 --> 01:18:05,100
is one where we have very

2636
01:18:05,100 --> 01:18:07,100
limited discretion

2637
01:18:07,100 --> 01:18:09,100
on what we can do. We're being

2638
01:18:09,100 --> 01:18:11,100
mandated by the state

2639
01:18:11,100 --> 01:18:12,100
to take certain actions,

2640
01:18:12,100 --> 01:18:14,401
and if we don't,

2641
01:18:15,100 --> 01:18:16,100
we're being threatened

2642
01:18:16,100 --> 01:18:17,100
with criminal penalties. So I

2643
01:18:17,100 --> 01:18:19,100
just. I kind of wanted

2644
01:18:19,100 --> 01:18:20,100
to put that out there. This is

2645
01:18:20,100 --> 01:18:22,100
not something that the city

2646
01:18:22,100 --> 01:18:23,100
wants to do. I know, but it's

2647
01:18:23,100 --> 01:18:24,100
something that the city is

2648
01:18:24,100 --> 01:18:25,100
pretty much being mandated

2649
01:18:25,100 --> 01:18:26,100
to do.

2650
01:18:26,100 --> 01:18:27,100
>> Thank you, Mr. City

2651
01:18:27,100 --> 01:18:28,100
Attorney. Madam Councilman, you

2652
01:18:28,100 --> 01:18:30,100
had a question?

2653
01:18:30,100 --> 01:18:32,100
>> Yes. Like I said, the reason

2654
01:18:32,100 --> 01:18:33,100
that I call this item is

2655
01:18:33,100 --> 01:18:34,100
because

2656
01:18:34,100 --> 01:18:36,100
of how sensitive it is. And I

2657
01:18:36,100 --> 01:18:38,100
know that there are many

2658
01:18:38,100 --> 01:18:39,100
questions from our residents

2659
01:18:39,100 --> 01:18:41,100
and I just want to go through

2660
01:18:41,100 --> 01:18:42,100
those ones. I don't know if you

2661
01:18:42,100 --> 01:18:44,100
have some

2662
01:18:44,100 --> 01:18:46,100
of those answers already or

2663
01:18:46,100 --> 01:18:48,100
then for you to keep in mind,

2664
01:18:48,100 --> 01:18:50,100
because I would like you

2665
01:18:50,100 --> 01:18:51,100
to answer those ones then later

2666
01:18:51,100 --> 01:18:52,100
on because I think they're

2667
01:18:52,100 --> 01:18:53,100
important for our residents.

2668
01:18:53,100 --> 01:18:55,100
So within. One of the first

2669
01:18:55,100 --> 01:18:58,100
questions is that I wanted

2670
01:18:58,100 --> 01:19:00,100
know. Have you already been

2671
01:19:00,100 --> 01:19:02,100
in contact with ICE? Have you

2672
01:19:02,100 --> 01:19:04,100
already met with them prior

2673
01:19:04,100 --> 01:19:05,100
to this meeting,

2674
01:19:05,100 --> 01:19:07,100
to today's meeting?

2675
01:19:07,100 --> 01:19:08,100
>> No, no,

2676
01:19:08,100 --> 01:19:09,100
I haven't had any

2677
01:19:09,100 --> 01:19:11,100
communications with anybody

2678
01:19:11,100 --> 01:19:12,100
from the ICE office. This is

2679
01:19:12,100 --> 01:19:13,100
just a preliminary.

2680
01:19:13,100 --> 01:19:14,100
>> If you can get closer

2681
01:19:14,100 --> 01:19:15,100
to the.

2682
01:19:15,100 --> 01:19:16,100
>> Yeah, I haven't had any

2683
01:19:16,100 --> 01:19:18,100
communication

2684
01:19:18,100 --> 01:19:19,100
with any supervisory staff

2685
01:19:19,100 --> 01:19:20,100
from ICE regarding this item.

2686
01:19:20,100 --> 01:19:21,100
So, it's just in the infancy

2687
01:19:21,100 --> 01:19:22,100
stages right now and, you know,

2688
01:19:22,100 --> 01:19:23,100
after today, we'll see based on

2689
01:19:23,100 --> 01:19:26,100
your vote how we move forward.

2690
01:19:26,100 --> 01:19:28,100
>> Okay. So, I just wanted

2691
01:19:28,100 --> 01:19:31,100
to proceed with some of the

2692
01:19:31,100 --> 01:19:32,100
questions that I know that are

2693
01:19:32,100 --> 01:19:34,401
concerned from our residents.

2694
01:19:35,100 --> 01:19:36,100
And like you said,

2695
01:19:36,100 --> 01:19:37,100
you haven't met yet with them.

2696
01:19:37,100 --> 01:19:39,100
But anyway, maybe you have

2697
01:19:39,100 --> 01:19:40,100
already an idea or you will be

2698
01:19:40,100 --> 01:19:42,100
able then

2699
01:19:42,100 --> 01:19:44,100
to answer those questions.

2700
01:19:44,100 --> 01:19:46,100
Later on. So, some

2701
01:19:46,100 --> 01:19:47,100
of them is, what are the

2702
01:19:47,100 --> 01:19:49,100
department policies regarding

2703
01:19:49,100 --> 01:19:51,100
detained requests from.

2704
01:19:51,100 --> 01:19:53,100
>> Well, we have a multitude of

2705
01:19:53,100 --> 01:19:54,100
MOUs memorandum understandings

2706
01:19:54,100 --> 01:19:55,100
with law enforcement agencies,

2707
01:19:55,100 --> 01:19:56,100
not only

2708
01:19:56,100 --> 01:19:57,100
in the local and state level,

2709
01:19:57,100 --> 01:19:58,100
but

2710
01:19:58,100 --> 01:20:00,100
at the federal level as well.

2711
01:20:00,100 --> 01:20:01,100
Already we have under carl

2712
01:20:01,100 --> 01:20:02,100
of law, a duty

2713
01:20:02,100 --> 01:20:03,100
to act and assist our, you

2714
01:20:03,100 --> 01:20:05,100
know, partnering agencies. We

2715
01:20:05,100 --> 01:20:06,100
haven't been requested

2716
01:20:06,100 --> 01:20:07,100
at this time to agree

2717
01:20:07,100 --> 01:20:09,100
to assist in any dealings

2718
01:20:09,100 --> 01:20:10,100
in terms of immigration. Our

2719
01:20:10,100 --> 01:20:11,100
primary focus is not

2720
01:20:11,100 --> 01:20:13,100
immigration matters

2721
01:20:13,100 --> 01:20:14,100
in our community. It's

2722
01:20:14,100 --> 01:20:16,100
something that as a police

2723
01:20:16,100 --> 01:20:17,100
chief, as a son

2724
01:20:17,100 --> 01:20:18,100
of immigrants, you know,

2725
01:20:18,100 --> 01:20:19,100
and been here two and a half

2726
01:20:19,100 --> 01:20:21,100
years, I have a deep love

2727
01:20:21,100 --> 01:20:22,100
for this community,

2728
01:20:22,100 --> 01:20:23,100
especially the Venezuelan

2729
01:20:23,100 --> 01:20:24,100
community. A lot of them are.

2730
01:20:24,100 --> 01:20:26,100
Have become close friends

2731
01:20:26,100 --> 01:20:27,100
of mine. But we have a duty to

2732
01:20:27,100 --> 01:20:29,100
act as well and follow the law.

2733
01:20:29,100 --> 01:20:30,100
And we have an amazing legal

2734
01:20:30,100 --> 01:20:32,100
team as well. And the current

2735
01:20:32,100 --> 01:20:33,100
interpretation is that this is

2736
01:20:33,100 --> 01:20:34,100
a mandate and we will follow

2737
01:20:34,100 --> 01:20:36,100
the law. My opinions come

2738
01:20:36,100 --> 01:20:38,100
second. Our duty to act and be

2739
01:20:38,100 --> 01:20:40,100
responsible comes first.

2740
01:20:40,100 --> 01:20:42,100
However, the primary focus

2741
01:20:42,100 --> 01:20:45,100
of the Doral Police Department

2742
01:20:45,100 --> 01:20:46,100
is the safety and security

2743
01:20:46,100 --> 01:20:48,100
of residents

2744
01:20:48,100 --> 01:20:50,100
in this community. And our

2745
01:20:50,100 --> 01:20:51,100
officers are not currently

2746
01:20:51,100 --> 01:20:52,100
trained or equipped,

2747
01:20:52,100 --> 01:20:55,100
nor is it our mission

2748
01:20:55,100 --> 01:20:57,100
to enforce immigration laws

2749
01:20:57,100 --> 01:20:58,100
in our community. When we

2750
01:20:58,100 --> 01:20:59,100
conduct a simple traffic stop,

2751
01:20:59,100 --> 01:21:00,100
our officers are not.

2752
01:21:00,100 --> 01:21:02,100
>> Sorry to interrupt you.

2753
01:21:02,100 --> 01:21:03,100
It's just because I have a few

2754
01:21:03,100 --> 01:21:04,100
more questions.

2755
01:21:04,100 --> 01:21:05,100
>> Maybe what I'm saying is

2756
01:21:05,100 --> 01:21:06,100
answering some of it.

2757
01:21:06,100 --> 01:21:08,100
>> No, no. So that's why I just

2758
01:21:08,100 --> 01:21:09,100
wanted to go over them and try

2759
01:21:09,100 --> 01:21:11,100
to have a short answer so then

2760
01:21:11,100 --> 01:21:12,100
I can go

2761
01:21:12,100 --> 01:21:13,100
over the concerns.

2762
01:21:13,100 --> 01:21:14,100
>> Sure. I wanted to just

2763
01:21:14,100 --> 01:21:16,100
finish a statement. I was

2764
01:21:16,100 --> 01:21:17,100
saying, and the primary focus

2765
01:21:17,100 --> 01:21:18,100
of our officers

2766
01:21:18,100 --> 01:21:20,100
during encounters with citizens

2767
01:21:20,100 --> 01:21:21,100
do not involve questioning

2768
01:21:21,100 --> 01:21:22,100
regarding their immigration

2769
01:21:22,100 --> 01:21:23,100
status. We are here to serve

2770
01:21:23,100 --> 01:21:24,100
and protect each and every

2771
01:21:24,100 --> 01:21:26,100
person in this community,

2772
01:21:26,100 --> 01:21:27,100
regardless

2773
01:21:27,100 --> 01:21:29,401
of their immigration status.

2774
01:21:30,100 --> 01:21:32,401
Now, during the course

2775
01:21:33,100 --> 01:21:35,100
of our investigations, first

2776
01:21:35,100 --> 01:21:36,100
extreme felonious acts or

2777
01:21:36,100 --> 01:21:38,100
anything related

2778
01:21:38,100 --> 01:21:39,100
to that matter. If during our

2779
01:21:39,100 --> 01:21:40,100
investigative process,

2780
01:21:40,100 --> 01:21:42,100
it comes

2781
01:21:42,100 --> 01:21:44,100
to light that the person is

2782
01:21:44,100 --> 01:21:45,100
in this country illegally,

2783
01:21:45,100 --> 01:21:46,100
there may be additional charges

2784
01:21:46,100 --> 01:21:48,100
that that person may face. But

2785
01:21:48,100 --> 01:21:50,100
the primary encounters that we

2786
01:21:50,100 --> 01:21:51,100
face on a daily basis, not me

2787
01:21:51,100 --> 01:21:55,201
here, but for me to stand up

2788
01:21:57,100 --> 01:21:59,100
here and say that I do the work

2789
01:21:59,100 --> 01:22:00,100
of the men and women

2790
01:22:00,100 --> 01:22:02,100
behind me.

2791
01:22:02,100 --> 01:22:03,100
>> I know I'm going

2792
01:22:03,100 --> 01:22:04,100
to cut you, please. Because

2793
01:22:04,100 --> 01:22:05,100
then I have to go

2794
01:22:05,100 --> 01:22:06,100
over and we have a mini.

2795
01:22:06,100 --> 01:22:08,100
>> Let me. Let me clarify

2796
01:22:08,100 --> 01:22:09,100
something, Councilwoman. Your

2797
01:22:09,100 --> 01:22:10,100
time is not counted when he's

2798
01:22:10,100 --> 01:22:11,100
responding,

2799
01:22:11,100 --> 01:22:13,100
because he's responding.

2800
01:22:13,100 --> 01:22:14,100
>> It's not about my sign.

2801
01:22:14,100 --> 01:22:15,100
>> I'm speaking right now.

2802
01:22:15,100 --> 01:22:17,100
>> It's not about my five

2803
01:22:17,100 --> 01:22:20,100
minutes. I have a set

2804
01:22:20,100 --> 01:22:21,100
of questions and I just wanted

2805
01:22:21,100 --> 01:22:22,100
to go over it. It's great that

2806
01:22:22,100 --> 01:22:24,100
you're putting your statement,

2807
01:22:24,100 --> 01:22:25,100
and that's great.

2808
01:22:25,100 --> 01:22:26,100
But the thing is that some

2809
01:22:26,100 --> 01:22:27,100
of the questions it might be

2810
01:22:27,100 --> 01:22:28,100
within already,

2811
01:22:28,100 --> 01:22:29,100
and I don't want you

2812
01:22:29,100 --> 01:22:31,100
to be repeating. So it's just

2813
01:22:31,100 --> 01:22:32,100
that.

2814
01:22:32,100 --> 01:22:33,100
>> That.

2815
01:22:33,100 --> 01:22:34,100
>> It's just that,

2816
01:22:34,100 --> 01:22:36,100
Councilwoman, when. When the

2817
01:22:36,100 --> 01:22:37,100
chief is responding,

2818
01:22:37,100 --> 01:22:38,100
he's not just responding

2819
01:22:38,100 --> 01:22:39,100
to you, he's responding to all

2820
01:22:39,100 --> 01:22:40,100
of you.

2821
01:22:40,100 --> 01:22:42,100
>> I understand, but I'm the

2822
01:22:42,100 --> 01:22:43,100
one making the questions,

2823
01:22:43,100 --> 01:22:45,100
not you.

2824
01:22:45,100 --> 01:22:47,100
>> But I'm chairing the

2825
01:22:47,100 --> 01:22:48,100
meeting, and that's okay.

2826
01:22:48,100 --> 01:22:50,100
>> But I am. I already request

2827
01:22:50,100 --> 01:22:52,100
that I want

2828
01:22:53,100 --> 01:22:54,100
to ask some questions. It's

2829
01:22:54,100 --> 01:22:55,100
been granted to me. So this is

2830
01:22:55,100 --> 01:22:56,100
my time, tell you what,

2831
01:22:56,100 --> 01:22:58,100
and that's okay.

2832
01:22:58,100 --> 01:23:00,100
>> Here, here's. Here's how

2833
01:23:00,100 --> 01:23:01,100
we're going to handle this. No

2834
01:23:01,100 --> 01:23:03,100
one will be interrupted. If the

2835
01:23:03,100 --> 01:23:05,100
chief needs

2836
01:23:05,100 --> 01:23:06,100
to finish his statement,

2837
01:23:06,100 --> 01:23:07,100
he'll finish it. And then you

2838
01:23:07,100 --> 01:23:08,100
will have the time

2839
01:23:08,100 --> 01:23:09,100
to ask all your questions. No

2840
01:23:09,100 --> 01:23:10,100
one is going to take that away

2841
01:23:10,100 --> 01:23:11,100
from you. However, I think it's

2842
01:23:11,100 --> 01:23:12,100
unfair to not allow someone to

2843
01:23:12,100 --> 01:23:13,100
finish a statement when you're

2844
01:23:13,100 --> 01:23:14,100
asking very sensitive

2845
01:23:14,100 --> 01:23:15,100
questions. That's how we're

2846
01:23:15,100 --> 01:23:16,100
going

2847
01:23:16,100 --> 01:23:17,100
to conduct ourselves here.

2848
01:23:17,100 --> 01:23:18,100
>> Let's do this.

2849
01:23:18,100 --> 01:23:19,100
>> Could you please then give

2850
01:23:19,100 --> 01:23:20,100
your statement at the end? If

2851
01:23:20,100 --> 01:23:21,100
there's something that is not

2852
01:23:21,100 --> 01:23:22,100
included within the questions

2853
01:23:22,100 --> 01:23:23,100
that I'm asking you,

2854
01:23:23,100 --> 01:23:24,100
I would love for you

2855
01:23:24,100 --> 01:23:25,100
to give your statement.

2856
01:23:25,100 --> 01:23:26,100
Listen, I am not here

2857
01:23:26,100 --> 01:23:27,100
to attack anybody. I'm just

2858
01:23:27,100 --> 01:23:28,100
here to make this. This is

2859
01:23:28,100 --> 01:23:29,100
like how it sounds like I'm

2860
01:23:29,100 --> 01:23:30,100
asking these questions because

2861
01:23:30,100 --> 01:23:31,100
these questions are important

2862
01:23:31,100 --> 01:23:32,100
for our residents.

2863
01:23:32,100 --> 01:23:33,100
Like you said, we are here

2864
01:23:33,100 --> 01:23:34,100
to protect them.

2865
01:23:34,100 --> 01:23:35,100
Like you said,

2866
01:23:35,100 --> 01:23:36,100
I am also the daughter of an

2867
01:23:36,100 --> 01:23:37,100
immigrant. I am an immigrant,

2868
01:23:37,100 --> 01:23:38,100
too,

2869
01:23:38,100 --> 01:23:39,100
because I came here when I was

2870
01:23:39,100 --> 01:23:40,100
25 and expecting my second

2871
01:23:40,100 --> 01:23:41,100
child. So I know how it is. I

2872
01:23:41,100 --> 01:23:42,100
went through the process too,

2873
01:23:42,100 --> 01:23:44,100
like everybody else. So I just

2874
01:23:44,100 --> 01:23:46,100
want to ask these questions

2875
01:23:46,100 --> 01:23:47,100
because I know that there are

2876
01:23:47,100 --> 01:23:49,100
many people that they want

2877
01:23:49,100 --> 01:23:51,100
to hear the answer. And

2878
01:23:51,100 --> 01:23:52,100
like I said, if there are some

2879
01:23:52,100 --> 01:23:53,100
answers that you don't have

2880
01:23:53,100 --> 01:23:55,100
right now, that's okay. If not,

2881
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,100
we can have these. You can give

2882
01:23:56,100 --> 01:23:57,100
those answers later

2883
01:23:57,100 --> 01:23:58,100
on because I know that many

2884
01:23:58,100 --> 01:23:59,100
of them might be

2885
01:23:59,100 --> 01:24:01,100
after you already have. You

2886
01:24:01,100 --> 01:24:02,100
know,

2887
01:24:02,100 --> 01:24:03,100
the plan that you already have,

2888
01:24:03,100 --> 01:24:05,100
sit down with ICE and whatever

2889
01:24:05,100 --> 01:24:06,100
other agencies that have

2890
01:24:06,100 --> 01:24:08,100
to be within. So it's not. We

2891
01:24:08,100 --> 01:24:09,100
do understand and we know that

2892
01:24:09,100 --> 01:24:11,100
you already have shown that

2893
01:24:11,100 --> 01:24:12,100
you're here

2894
01:24:12,100 --> 01:24:13,100
to protect the community,

2895
01:24:13,100 --> 01:24:14,100
to look after us. And I do

2896
01:24:14,100 --> 01:24:15,100
understand that, and I'm pretty

2897
01:24:15,100 --> 01:24:16,100
sure that everybody knows that.

2898
01:24:16,100 --> 01:24:18,100
But I just wanted to go

2899
01:24:18,100 --> 01:24:19,100
through these questions and

2900
01:24:19,100 --> 01:24:20,100
like I said, there's some that

2901
01:24:20,100 --> 01:24:22,100
you might not have the answer

2902
01:24:22,100 --> 01:24:23,100
right now, and that's okay. So

2903
01:24:23,100 --> 01:24:25,100
it's just that.

2904
01:24:26,100 --> 01:24:28,100
>> I understand what you're

2905
01:24:28,100 --> 01:24:29,100
saying, ma'am, but the

2906
01:24:29,100 --> 01:24:31,100
statements that I am making

2907
01:24:31,100 --> 01:24:32,100
reach far

2908
01:24:32,100 --> 01:24:34,100
beyond the communication

2909
01:24:34,100 --> 01:24:36,100
between you and I and those

2910
01:24:36,100 --> 01:24:38,100
in this room, the officers, my

2911
01:24:38,100 --> 01:24:39,100
officers that encounter these

2912
01:24:39,100 --> 01:24:40,100
questions every single day out

2913
01:24:40,100 --> 01:24:42,100
in the community. It's

2914
01:24:42,100 --> 01:24:43,100
important for them

2915
01:24:43,100 --> 01:24:45,100
to recognize that the

2916
01:24:45,100 --> 01:24:46,100
leadership in this city

2917
01:24:46,100 --> 01:24:48,100
respects the valuable work that

2918
01:24:48,100 --> 01:24:49,100
they do every day. And we are

2919
01:24:49,100 --> 01:24:50,100
not communicating amongst

2920
01:24:50,100 --> 01:24:51,100
ourselves only. We have media

2921
01:24:51,100 --> 01:24:53,100
outlets here. We have residents

2922
01:24:53,100 --> 01:24:54,100
here

2923
01:24:54,100 --> 01:24:55,100
in this community that love

2924
01:24:55,100 --> 01:24:56,100
Doral, that love our Police

2925
01:24:56,100 --> 01:24:58,100
Department. And my responses

2926
01:24:58,100 --> 01:25:00,100
are not only

2927
01:25:00,100 --> 01:25:03,100
to your questions, but to the

2928
01:25:03,100 --> 01:25:05,100
questions that we get every

2929
01:25:05,100 --> 01:25:07,100
single day. The men and women

2930
01:25:07,100 --> 01:25:08,100
behind me that are behind the

2931
01:25:08,100 --> 01:25:11,100
scenes doing the work every

2932
01:25:11,100 --> 01:25:12,100
day. So even though I am

2933
01:25:12,100 --> 01:25:13,100
stopping you.

2934
01:25:13,100 --> 01:25:14,100
>> To be able to do comments,

2935
01:25:14,100 --> 01:25:16,100
but.

2936
01:25:16,100 --> 01:25:17,100
>> That's the reason that I

2937
01:25:17,100 --> 01:25:18,100
may be expanding a little bit

2938
01:25:18,100 --> 01:25:19,100
on my responses and to.

2939
01:25:19,100 --> 01:25:21,100
Please, I don't speak often up

2940
01:25:21,100 --> 01:25:22,100
here, but give me the chance

2941
01:25:22,100 --> 01:25:23,100
to address

2942
01:25:23,100 --> 01:25:24,100
from a global perspective.

2943
01:25:24,100 --> 01:25:25,100
Thank you.

2944
01:25:25,100 --> 01:25:26,100
>> I am not stopping you

2945
01:25:26,100 --> 01:25:27,100
to answer. I'm not stopping you

2946
01:25:27,100 --> 01:25:29,100
to be able to give your

2947
01:25:29,100 --> 01:25:31,100
statement. I just wanted to go

2948
01:25:31,100 --> 01:25:33,100
through the questions and then

2949
01:25:33,100 --> 01:25:34,100
you will have all the time that

2950
01:25:34,100 --> 01:25:35,100
is allowed by the council

2951
01:25:35,100 --> 01:25:36,100
for you

2952
01:25:36,100 --> 01:25:38,100
to say everything that you want

2953
01:25:38,100 --> 01:25:39,100
to say.

2954
01:25:39,100 --> 01:25:40,100
>> Thank you.

2955
01:25:40,100 --> 01:25:41,100
>> And yes, I do appreciate the

2956
01:25:41,100 --> 01:25:42,100
Police Department. I actually

2957
01:25:42,100 --> 01:25:44,100
was the chair for the. The vice

2958
01:25:44,100 --> 01:25:45,100
chair of park and Police for

2959
01:25:45,100 --> 01:25:46,100
Kids here. So how do you

2960
01:25:46,100 --> 01:25:48,100
balance. How do you plan to

2961
01:25:48,100 --> 01:25:49,100
balance enforcing local law

2962
01:25:49,100 --> 01:25:50,100
while ensuring immigrant

2963
01:25:50,100 --> 01:25:52,100
communities feel?

2964
01:25:52,100 --> 01:25:53,100
>> Safe reporting crimes by our

2965
01:25:53,100 --> 01:25:55,100
actions every single day,

2966
01:25:55,100 --> 01:25:58,100
ma'am. Whether it's a copper

2967
01:26:00,100 --> 01:26:01,100
service, whether it's a coffee

2968
01:26:01,100 --> 01:26:02,100
with a coffee event,

2969
01:26:02,100 --> 01:26:03,100
whether it's one of the mayors

2970
01:26:03,100 --> 01:26:06,601
or the vice mayors or any

2971
01:26:07,100 --> 01:26:09,100
of our elected officials,

2972
01:26:09,100 --> 01:26:10,100
amazing events that go on.

2973
01:26:10,100 --> 01:26:11,100
This committee community. Our

2974
01:26:11,100 --> 01:26:13,100
officers are there hand

2975
01:26:13,100 --> 01:26:14,100
in hand each and every day.

2976
01:26:14,100 --> 01:26:15,100
The backbone of our agency is

2977
01:26:15,100 --> 01:26:16,100
community policing. The

2978
01:26:16,100 --> 01:26:18,100
relationships that we've made

2979
01:26:18,100 --> 01:26:19,100
with this community far exceed

2980
01:26:19,100 --> 01:26:21,100
any law in this country. The

2981
01:26:21,100 --> 01:26:23,100
bonds of relationships

2982
01:26:24,100 --> 01:26:26,100
in our schools,

2983
01:26:26,100 --> 01:26:27,100
our school resource officers,

2984
01:26:27,100 --> 01:26:29,100
building the rapport

2985
01:26:29,100 --> 01:26:30,100
with the students,

2986
01:26:30,100 --> 01:26:32,100
our community outreach unit,

2987
01:26:32,100 --> 01:26:34,100
visiting homeowners'

2988
01:26:34,100 --> 01:26:35,100
associations

2989
01:26:35,100 --> 01:26:36,100
on a daily basis,

2990
01:26:36,100 --> 01:26:38,100
are the number

2991
01:26:39,100 --> 01:26:40,100
of warnings that we give

2992
01:26:40,100 --> 01:26:42,100
instead of citations

2993
01:26:42,100 --> 01:26:43,100
in the community. The

2994
01:26:43,100 --> 01:26:44,100
educational campaigns that we

2995
01:26:44,100 --> 01:26:46,100
embark on

2996
01:26:46,100 --> 01:26:47,100
through social media platforms,

2997
01:26:47,100 --> 01:26:48,100
communication platforms,

2998
01:26:48,100 --> 01:26:50,100
through digital media,

2999
01:26:50,100 --> 01:26:51,100
through a host of channels,

3000
01:26:51,100 --> 01:26:52,100
that's what ensures the trust

3001
01:26:52,100 --> 01:26:53,100
in the community partnerships

3002
01:26:53,100 --> 01:26:55,100
that we have established

3003
01:26:55,100 --> 01:26:56,100
in this community. Not only for

3004
01:26:56,100 --> 01:26:58,100
the last two and a half years

3005
01:26:58,100 --> 01:26:59,100
that I've been here, but

3006
01:26:59,100 --> 01:27:00,100
over the 17 years that the men

3007
01:27:00,100 --> 01:27:02,100
and women behind me over the

3008
01:27:02,100 --> 01:27:03,100
17 years that those two majors

3009
01:27:03,100 --> 01:27:04,100
have been in this department

3010
01:27:04,100 --> 01:27:06,100
over the 17 years that that

3011
01:27:06,100 --> 01:27:07,100
lieutenant over there has been

3012
01:27:07,100 --> 01:27:08,100
in this department,

3013
01:27:08,100 --> 01:27:09,100
they have laid the groundwork

3014
01:27:09,100 --> 01:27:10,100
for the trust that we have

3015
01:27:10,100 --> 01:27:11,100
in this community. And I've

3016
01:27:11,100 --> 01:27:12,100
taken the baton, and my job is

3017
01:27:12,100 --> 01:27:13,100
to take it to the next level,

3018
01:27:13,100 --> 01:27:14,100
which I'm doing.

3019
01:27:14,100 --> 01:27:15,100
>> Are you planning to increase

3020
01:27:15,100 --> 01:27:16,100
personnel and how many? If you

3021
01:27:16,100 --> 01:27:17,100
already have a plan

3022
01:27:17,100 --> 01:27:18,100
to be able then to work

3023
01:27:18,100 --> 01:27:19,100
within this test as well?

3024
01:27:19,100 --> 01:27:20,100
>> Well, through the support

3025
01:27:20,100 --> 01:27:21,100
of our entire elected body,

3026
01:27:21,100 --> 01:27:22,100
our city manager, we have been

3027
01:27:22,100 --> 01:27:23,100
increasing the number of police

3028
01:27:23,100 --> 01:27:24,100
officers here that we have for

3029
01:27:24,100 --> 01:27:25,100
the last two and a half years.

3030
01:27:25,100 --> 01:27:26,100
When I came, we had a little

3031
01:27:26,100 --> 01:27:27,100
over 130 sworn officers. Now

3032
01:27:27,100 --> 01:27:29,100
with the folks

3033
01:27:29,100 --> 01:27:31,100
in the academy, we have about

3034
01:27:31,100 --> 01:27:33,100
170. We will continue,

3035
01:27:33,100 --> 01:27:34,100
but we will be continuing to

3036
01:27:34,100 --> 01:27:35,100
staff our officers so that we

3037
01:27:35,100 --> 01:27:36,100
can put extra costs

3038
01:27:36,100 --> 01:27:37,100
in schools, extra costs

3039
01:27:37,100 --> 01:27:38,100
in our intersections. Like

3040
01:27:38,100 --> 01:27:39,100
every time there's someone that

3041
01:27:39,100 --> 01:27:40,100
drives into our community,

3042
01:27:40,100 --> 01:27:42,100
every single day,

3043
01:27:42,100 --> 01:27:44,401
there's marked police cars

3044
01:27:45,100 --> 01:27:47,100
with their lights on,

3045
01:27:47,100 --> 01:27:48,100
deterring crime. We have

3046
01:27:48,100 --> 01:27:49,100
over a 40% reduction in crime

3047
01:27:49,100 --> 01:27:50,100
over the last three years. One

3048
01:27:50,100 --> 01:27:52,100
of the safest cities

3049
01:27:52,100 --> 01:27:53,100
in this country. And that comes

3050
01:27:53,100 --> 01:27:54,100
on the heels

3051
01:27:54,100 --> 01:27:55,100
of adding additional officers,

3052
01:27:55,100 --> 01:27:56,100
not adding additional officers

3053
01:27:56,100 --> 01:27:59,100
because of this bill. Adding

3054
01:27:59,100 --> 01:28:00,100
additional officers

3055
01:28:00,100 --> 01:28:01,100
to create. Create additional

3056
01:28:01,100 --> 01:28:02,100
community trust and deter crime

3057
01:28:02,100 --> 01:28:03,100
that we've been doing.

3058
01:28:03,100 --> 01:28:04,100
>> Understand that these are

3059
01:28:04,100 --> 01:28:05,100
questions that are brought

3060
01:28:05,100 --> 01:28:07,100
to me, and I'm just the voice

3061
01:28:07,100 --> 01:28:08,100
of residents that want.

3062
01:28:08,100 --> 01:28:09,100
>> I love. I love the

3063
01:28:09,100 --> 01:28:10,100
questions. Bring them on.

3064
01:28:10,100 --> 01:28:12,100
Because all we do is keep

3065
01:28:12,100 --> 01:28:13,100
highlighting the good work

3066
01:28:13,100 --> 01:28:14,100
of those behind me.

3067
01:28:14,100 --> 01:28:15,100
>> And that's. And that's how.

3068
01:28:15,100 --> 01:28:16,100
That's why you see all your

3069
01:28:16,100 --> 01:28:17,100
love and all the. Our police

3070
01:28:17,100 --> 01:28:18,100
officers,

3071
01:28:18,100 --> 01:28:19,100
we always are very grateful

3072
01:28:19,100 --> 01:28:20,100
for all the work that they do.

3073
01:28:20,100 --> 01:28:21,100
So like I said,

3074
01:28:21,100 --> 01:28:22,100
these are not questions

3075
01:28:22,100 --> 01:28:24,100
to criticize. These are not

3076
01:28:24,100 --> 01:28:25,100
questions. What have.

3077
01:28:25,100 --> 01:28:26,100
>> These are just simple

3078
01:28:26,100 --> 01:28:27,100
questions.

3079
01:28:27,100 --> 01:28:28,100
>> No, no, I just want.

3080
01:28:28,100 --> 01:28:29,100
>> I'm passionate because I

3081
01:28:29,100 --> 01:28:30,100
love. And I. Not only do I love

3082
01:28:30,100 --> 01:28:32,100
them, but I see the work that

3083
01:28:32,100 --> 01:28:34,401
they do every day

3084
01:28:36,100 --> 01:28:37,100
behind the scenes in the face

3085
01:28:37,100 --> 01:28:38,100
of adversity, often

3086
01:28:38,100 --> 01:28:39,100
in the eyes of criticism. So

3087
01:28:39,100 --> 01:28:40,100
it's not a popular job. It's a

3088
01:28:40,100 --> 01:28:42,100
thankless job. And they go

3089
01:28:42,100 --> 01:28:43,100
above and beyond,

3090
01:28:43,100 --> 01:28:44,100
and we are successful because

3091
01:28:44,100 --> 01:28:45,100
of their work. So I love the

3092
01:28:45,100 --> 01:28:46,100
questions. It gives you an

3093
01:28:46,100 --> 01:28:48,100
opportunity, a platform to

3094
01:28:48,100 --> 01:28:49,100
highlight their good work.

3095
01:28:49,100 --> 01:28:50,100
>> I know how it is. I have a

3096
01:28:50,100 --> 01:28:51,100
cousin that is a police

3097
01:28:51,100 --> 01:28:52,100
officer, and I also have a

3098
01:28:52,100 --> 01:28:53,100
cousin that he's a military,

3099
01:28:53,100 --> 01:28:54,100
too. That might be already.

3100
01:28:54,100 --> 01:28:56,100
Like I said in some

3101
01:28:56,100 --> 01:28:57,100
of your statements, you might

3102
01:28:57,100 --> 01:28:59,100
be already answering some

3103
01:28:59,100 --> 01:29:00,100
of these questions, but I'm

3104
01:29:00,100 --> 01:29:02,100
just asking you these as part

3105
01:29:02,100 --> 01:29:04,100
of the respecting our residents

3106
01:29:04,100 --> 01:29:06,100
are asking questions. What

3107
01:29:06,100 --> 01:29:07,100
measure are you planning

3108
01:29:07,100 --> 01:29:09,100
to put in place to build trust

3109
01:29:09,100 --> 01:29:11,401
in immigrant communities given

3110
01:29:14,100 --> 01:29:16,100
the presence of ICE

3111
01:29:16,100 --> 01:29:18,100
in the area?

3112
01:29:18,100 --> 01:29:19,100
>> Well, I think I answered

3113
01:29:19,100 --> 01:29:21,100
that.

3114
01:29:23,100 --> 01:29:24,100
>> That's why I was telling

3115
01:29:24,100 --> 01:29:25,100
you, you.

3116
01:29:25,100 --> 01:29:26,100
>> Know.

3117
01:29:26,100 --> 01:29:27,100
>> How are you going to handle

3118
01:29:27,100 --> 01:29:28,100
situation when victims are or

3119
01:29:28,100 --> 01:29:30,100
witnesses of crime may have

3120
01:29:30,100 --> 01:29:31,100
concerns about their

3121
01:29:31,100 --> 01:29:32,100
immigration status?

3122
01:29:32,100 --> 01:29:33,100
>> By this, by being able

3123
01:29:33,100 --> 01:29:34,100
to communicate

3124
01:29:34,100 --> 01:29:36,100
during these times,

3125
01:29:36,100 --> 01:29:37,100
we are able

3126
01:29:37,100 --> 01:29:38,100
to use our platforms that we do

3127
01:29:38,100 --> 01:29:40,100
to communicate. We're embedded

3128
01:29:40,100 --> 01:29:41,100
into the community. So this

3129
01:29:41,100 --> 01:29:42,100
provides opportunities

3130
01:29:42,100 --> 01:29:43,100
to communicate. I feel

3131
01:29:43,100 --> 01:29:45,100
at the root

3132
01:29:45,100 --> 01:29:46,100
of it that our residents,

3133
01:29:46,100 --> 01:29:47,100
visitors, people that come

3134
01:29:47,100 --> 01:29:49,100
to school here,

3135
01:29:49,100 --> 01:29:50,100
people that come

3136
01:29:50,100 --> 01:29:51,100
to play here, have trust

3137
01:29:51,100 --> 01:29:52,100
in us. Yes, we use calls

3138
01:29:52,100 --> 01:29:54,100
for service to educate the

3139
01:29:54,100 --> 01:29:55,100
community as well. It's not

3140
01:29:55,100 --> 01:29:56,100
only us responding to a call

3141
01:29:56,100 --> 01:29:57,100
for service. We, we have a

3142
01:29:57,100 --> 01:29:58,100
multitude of training,

3143
01:29:58,100 --> 01:30:00,100
whether it's

3144
01:30:00,100 --> 01:30:01,100
in crisis intervention, whether

3145
01:30:01,100 --> 01:30:02,100
interpersonal skills

3146
01:30:02,100 --> 01:30:04,401
de-escalation. We know how

3147
01:30:06,100 --> 01:30:09,100
to handle situations. We know

3148
01:30:09,100 --> 01:30:10,100
that some situations are best

3149
01:30:10,100 --> 01:30:12,100
handled with silk gloves and

3150
01:30:12,100 --> 01:30:13,100
not maybe an arrest, looking

3151
01:30:13,100 --> 01:30:14,100
for alternatives to arrest.

3152
01:30:14,100 --> 01:30:15,100
And many times,

3153
01:30:15,100 --> 01:30:16,100
we do that.

3154
01:30:16,100 --> 01:30:17,100
>> Thank you. What will be the

3155
01:30:17,100 --> 01:30:19,100
process for handling complaints

3156
01:30:19,100 --> 01:30:20,100
or concerns regarding potential

3157
01:30:20,100 --> 01:30:21,100
overreach

3158
01:30:21,100 --> 01:30:23,100
in collaboration with?

3159
01:30:25,100 --> 01:30:26,100
>> Well, we have an internal

3160
01:30:26,100 --> 01:30:27,100
affairs unit that handles

3161
01:30:27,100 --> 01:30:28,100
internal complaints. We also

3162
01:30:28,100 --> 01:30:29,100
have a state attorney's office

3163
01:30:29,100 --> 01:30:31,100
here that, you know,

3164
01:30:31,100 --> 01:30:32,100
investigates certain matters

3165
01:30:32,100 --> 01:30:33,100
involving police conduct. So we

3166
01:30:33,100 --> 01:30:34,100
have the infrastructure

3167
01:30:34,100 --> 01:30:36,100
in the backbone established,

3168
01:30:36,100 --> 01:30:37,100
ready to investigate.

3169
01:30:37,100 --> 01:30:38,100
But because it's

3170
01:30:38,100 --> 01:30:39,100
in the infancy stages, because

3171
01:30:39,100 --> 01:30:40,100
a memorandum understanding

3172
01:30:40,100 --> 01:30:42,100
hasn't been drafted yet

3173
01:30:42,100 --> 01:30:43,100
by our attorney's office, this

3174
01:30:43,100 --> 01:30:44,100
is just a preliminary list

3175
01:30:44,100 --> 01:30:45,100
today provides an opportunity

3176
01:30:45,100 --> 01:30:46,100
to start exploring the

3177
01:30:46,100 --> 01:30:47,100
partnership so that we are

3178
01:30:47,100 --> 01:30:49,401
compliant with the law.

3179
01:30:51,100 --> 01:30:53,100
We'll have those detailed

3180
01:30:53,100 --> 01:30:54,100
items forthcoming.

3181
01:30:54,100 --> 01:30:56,100
>> What kind of training will

3182
01:30:56,100 --> 01:30:58,100
the officers receive regarding

3183
01:30:58,100 --> 01:31:00,100
federal immigration law and

3184
01:31:00,100 --> 01:31:02,100
their limitations?

3185
01:31:03,100 --> 01:31:04,100
>> That's yet

3186
01:31:04,100 --> 01:31:05,100
to see.

3187
01:31:05,100 --> 01:31:06,100
I have yet to meet

3188
01:31:06,100 --> 01:31:07,100
with any personnel from ICE to

3189
01:31:07,100 --> 01:31:08,100
see what training our officers

3190
01:31:08,100 --> 01:31:10,100
are going to receive specific

3191
01:31:10,100 --> 01:31:11,100
to any duties that are required

3192
01:31:11,100 --> 01:31:12,100
by law. But in order for us

3193
01:31:12,100 --> 01:31:14,100
to be compliant by law,

3194
01:31:14,100 --> 01:31:15,100
we will partake in any training

3195
01:31:15,100 --> 01:31:17,100
that's needed. I'm pretty

3196
01:31:17,100 --> 01:31:18,100
convinced that officers already

3197
01:31:18,100 --> 01:31:19,100
have a skill set in how

3198
01:31:19,100 --> 01:31:20,100
to deal with certain matters.

3199
01:31:20,100 --> 01:31:22,100
But any training,

3200
01:31:22,100 --> 01:31:23,100
new training that comes

3201
01:31:23,100 --> 01:31:25,100
out that we got

3202
01:31:25,100 --> 01:31:26,100
to partake in, in order

3203
01:31:26,100 --> 01:31:27,100
to be compliant with the law,

3204
01:31:27,100 --> 01:31:28,100
we'll have to partake

3205
01:31:28,100 --> 01:31:30,100
in it.

3206
01:31:30,100 --> 01:31:31,100
>> How does your department

3207
01:31:31,100 --> 01:31:32,100
will educate officers to

3208
01:31:32,100 --> 01:31:33,100
identify potential civil rights

3209
01:31:33,100 --> 01:31:34,100
issues in collaboration with

3210
01:31:34,100 --> 01:31:36,100
ICE?

3211
01:31:36,100 --> 01:31:37,100
>> I'm sure the training will

3212
01:31:37,100 --> 01:31:38,100
cover that.

3213
01:31:38,100 --> 01:31:39,100
>> So those were the questions

3214
01:31:39,100 --> 01:31:41,100
that were referred to me. And

3215
01:31:41,100 --> 01:31:42,100
my duty is to be able

3216
01:31:42,100 --> 01:31:43,100
to be the voice

3217
01:31:43,100 --> 01:31:45,100
of the community for those ones

3218
01:31:45,100 --> 01:31:46,100
that are concerned as well.

3219
01:31:46,100 --> 01:31:47,100
Those Ones are also that

3220
01:31:47,100 --> 01:31:49,100
already have their status

3221
01:31:49,100 --> 01:31:51,100
already in place. So.

3222
01:31:51,100 --> 01:31:54,100
Because, as you know and

3223
01:31:57,100 --> 01:31:58,100
everybody knows,

3224
01:31:58,100 --> 01:31:59,100
our community is based

3225
01:31:59,100 --> 01:32:01,100
in many immigrants. And there's

3226
01:32:01,100 --> 01:32:02,100
some that they're within, you

3227
01:32:02,100 --> 01:32:03,100
know, in the process

3228
01:32:03,100 --> 01:32:04,100
of getting their status.

3229
01:32:04,100 --> 01:32:06,100
Others, unfortunately,

3230
01:32:06,100 --> 01:32:07,100
haven't been able to. So,

3231
01:32:07,100 --> 01:32:08,100
anyway, we represent everybody

3232
01:32:08,100 --> 01:32:10,100
that lives here in the state.

3233
01:32:10,100 --> 01:32:11,100
So that's why I wanted

3234
01:32:11,100 --> 01:32:12,100
to ask you these questions,

3235
01:32:12,100 --> 01:32:14,100
because it was important

3236
01:32:14,100 --> 01:32:15,100
for them. Like, they say that

3237
01:32:15,100 --> 01:32:16,100
they want to hear from you.

3238
01:32:16,100 --> 01:32:17,100
So, like I said, again,

3239
01:32:17,100 --> 01:32:18,100
this is not attacking anybody.

3240
01:32:18,100 --> 01:32:20,100
This is not trying to put you

3241
01:32:20,100 --> 01:32:21,100
in a difficult spot.

3242
01:32:21,100 --> 01:32:24,100
But they wanted those answers.

3243
01:32:24,100 --> 01:32:28,100
And that's my duty as well as

3244
01:32:28,100 --> 01:32:30,100
to thank you and the

3245
01:32:30,100 --> 01:32:32,100
department. I always are

3246
01:32:32,100 --> 01:32:34,100
grateful

3247
01:32:34,100 --> 01:32:36,100
for everything and everything.

3248
01:32:36,100 --> 01:32:38,100
Every work you do, every day,

3249
01:32:38,100 --> 01:32:40,100
the job that you do, you go

3250
01:32:40,100 --> 01:32:41,100
over beyond your job

3251
01:32:41,100 --> 01:32:43,100
description every day. So, I

3252
01:32:43,100 --> 01:32:45,100
love the department and I

3253
01:32:45,100 --> 01:32:46,100
always looking forward to work

3254
01:32:46,100 --> 01:32:48,100
with all of you.

3255
01:32:48,100 --> 01:32:50,100
>> I mean, I appreciate the

3256
01:32:50,100 --> 01:32:51,100
question. It gives,

3257
01:32:51,100 --> 01:32:53,100
like I said, an opportunity

3258
01:32:53,100 --> 01:32:54,100
to highlight the work

3259
01:32:54,100 --> 01:32:56,100
of those folks. I love the

3260
01:32:56,100 --> 01:32:57,100
Venezuelan community. I come

3261
01:32:57,100 --> 01:32:58,100
from, you know, my mother

3262
01:32:58,100 --> 01:32:59,100
from Spain, my dad's Cuban, so

3263
01:32:59,100 --> 01:33:01,100
I'm very sensitive

3264
01:33:01,100 --> 01:33:02,100
to the needs

3265
01:33:02,100 --> 01:33:03,100
of the immigrant community.

3266
01:33:03,100 --> 01:33:05,100
And my parents still don't

3267
01:33:05,100 --> 01:33:06,100
speak English. So it's, you

3268
01:33:06,100 --> 01:33:07,100
know, for me, it's home.

3269
01:33:07,100 --> 01:33:08,100
But we have a job to do,

3270
01:33:08,100 --> 01:33:09,100
but we're going to do it

3271
01:33:09,100 --> 01:33:11,100
from an amazing place. We have

3272
01:33:11,100 --> 01:33:12,100
amazing people here. We're

3273
01:33:12,100 --> 01:33:15,100
sensitive to the needs. And I'm

3274
01:33:15,100 --> 01:33:16,100
grateful that I have the

3275
01:33:16,100 --> 01:33:17,100
opportunity

3276
01:33:17,100 --> 01:33:19,100
to explain the role

3277
01:33:19,100 --> 01:33:20,100
of the police and what may come

3278
01:33:20,100 --> 01:33:22,100
of this. I ask you to give my

3279
01:33:22,100 --> 01:33:23,100
personal cell phone number.

3280
01:33:23,100 --> 01:33:25,100
You have my personal cell phone

3281
01:33:25,100 --> 01:33:26,100
number, although you rarely use

3282
01:33:26,100 --> 01:33:27,100
it. I ask you to give it

3283
01:33:27,100 --> 01:33:29,100
to any resident or. Or visitor

3284
01:33:29,100 --> 01:33:30,100
in this community that has any

3285
01:33:30,100 --> 01:33:32,100
questions regarding our roles.

3286
01:33:32,100 --> 01:33:33,100
Please give them my personal

3287
01:33:33,100 --> 01:33:34,100
cell phone number,

3288
01:33:34,100 --> 01:33:36,100
and I'll be happy

3289
01:33:36,100 --> 01:33:37,100
to answer any question.

3290
01:33:37,100 --> 01:33:38,100
>> And I do understand why I

3291
01:33:38,100 --> 01:33:40,100
was trying to cut you a little

3292
01:33:40,100 --> 01:33:41,100
bit short because

3293
01:33:41,100 --> 01:33:43,100
of the questions that I have,

3294
01:33:43,100 --> 01:33:44,100
that it was going

3295
01:33:44,100 --> 01:33:45,100
to be redundant, you know,

3296
01:33:45,100 --> 01:33:46,100
for you to be able

3297
01:33:46,100 --> 01:33:48,100
to answer those ones.

3298
01:33:48,100 --> 01:33:49,100
>> Give them my cell phone

3299
01:33:49,100 --> 01:33:50,100
number. Thank you.

3300
01:33:50,100 --> 01:33:51,100
>> Thank you. Thank you

3301
01:33:51,100 --> 01:33:53,100
for answering. Okay.

3302
01:33:53,100 --> 01:33:54,100
>> Any other comments or

3303
01:33:54,100 --> 01:33:56,100
questions?

3304
01:33:56,100 --> 01:33:57,100
>> I have some good questions.

3305
01:33:57,100 --> 01:33:59,100
>> VICE Mc Chief. Hold on.

3306
01:33:59,100 --> 01:34:01,100
Don't go.

3307
01:34:02,100 --> 01:34:05,100
>> Thank you. I'll be brief

3308
01:34:09,100 --> 01:34:10,100
because I know the resolution

3309
01:34:10,100 --> 01:34:11,100
was amended,

3310
01:34:11,100 --> 01:34:13,100
so it answered a lot

3311
01:34:13,100 --> 01:34:15,100
of the questions that I had,

3312
01:34:15,100 --> 01:34:17,100
actually. First, I want

3313
01:34:17,100 --> 01:34:18,100
to thank you for all the great

3314
01:34:18,100 --> 01:34:20,100
work that you do, your

3315
01:34:20,100 --> 01:34:21,100
commitment, your dedication,

3316
01:34:21,100 --> 01:34:23,100
the dedication

3317
01:34:23,100 --> 01:34:24,100
of all your offices, and I

3318
01:34:24,100 --> 01:34:27,100
think we do have the best

3319
01:34:27,100 --> 01:34:29,100
police department in all of

3320
01:34:29,100 --> 01:34:31,100
Florida. So, thank you

3321
01:34:31,100 --> 01:34:33,100
for all the Great work.

3322
01:34:33,100 --> 01:34:34,100
Obviously, there's a lot

3323
01:34:34,100 --> 01:34:35,100
of fear. There's a lot

3324
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:36,100
of questions,

3325
01:34:36,100 --> 01:34:37,100
and I've been trying to answer

3326
01:34:37,100 --> 01:34:39,100
them as well. I obviously do a

3327
01:34:39,100 --> 01:34:40,100
lot of work within the

3328
01:34:40,100 --> 01:34:42,100
community. I'm an immigration

3329
01:34:42,100 --> 01:34:43,100
lawyer, so I hear a lot

3330
01:34:43,100 --> 01:34:45,100
of people, I help a lot

3331
01:34:45,100 --> 01:34:47,100
of people. And there's a lot

3332
01:34:47,100 --> 01:34:48,100
of bad narratives. There's a

3333
01:34:48,100 --> 01:34:50,100
lot of myths, there's a lot

3334
01:34:50,100 --> 01:34:52,100
of lies. And so, I want

3335
01:34:52,100 --> 01:34:53,100
to take this opportunity to ask

3336
01:34:53,100 --> 01:34:55,100
you just a couple questions so

3337
01:34:55,100 --> 01:34:56,100
that we can clarify some

3338
01:34:56,100 --> 01:34:58,100
of that. The first one is,

3339
01:34:58,100 --> 01:34:59,100
will suspicion of unlawful

3340
01:34:59,100 --> 01:35:01,100
immigration status be a primary

3341
01:35:01,100 --> 01:35:02,100
basis for a stop or questioning

3342
01:35:02,100 --> 01:35:04,100
someone?

3343
01:35:09,100 --> 01:35:11,100
>> No. No. And profiling is

3344
01:35:11,100 --> 01:35:12,100
another term that's been thrown

3345
01:35:12,100 --> 01:35:13,100
out, you know, but no,

3346
01:35:13,100 --> 01:35:15,100
we don't partake

3347
01:35:20,100 --> 01:35:22,100
in profiling due to any.

3348
01:35:22,100 --> 01:35:25,100
For any reason. And that

3349
01:35:25,100 --> 01:35:26,100
definitely will not be

3350
01:35:26,100 --> 01:35:28,100
happening with the Doral

3351
01:35:28,100 --> 01:35:29,100
Police Department.

3352
01:35:29,100 --> 01:35:30,100
>> Okay.

3353
01:35:30,100 --> 01:35:32,100
>> There was also a rumor that

3354
01:35:32,100 --> 01:35:33,100
the Doral Police Department

3355
01:35:33,100 --> 01:35:34,100
participated in ICE rate here

3356
01:35:34,100 --> 01:35:36,100
in Doral.

3357
01:35:36,100 --> 01:35:38,100
>> Is that true?

3358
01:35:38,100 --> 01:35:40,100
>> That is not true.

3359
01:35:40,100 --> 01:35:42,100
>> Okay.

3360
01:35:42,100 --> 01:35:43,100
>> I think those are the only

3361
01:35:43,100 --> 01:35:45,100
two questions because the

3362
01:35:45,100 --> 01:35:46,100
resolution really changed a lot

3363
01:35:46,100 --> 01:35:47,100
of the wording. And I think

3364
01:35:47,100 --> 01:35:48,100
that just to understand this is

3365
01:35:48,100 --> 01:35:49,100
an initial step towards

3366
01:35:49,100 --> 01:35:51,401
discussing an agreement. It's

3367
01:35:52,100 --> 01:35:54,100
something that I think will

3368
01:35:54,100 --> 01:35:56,401
help the Police Department.

3369
01:35:57,100 --> 01:35:58,100
It's going

3370
01:35:58,100 --> 01:35:59,100
to also help the City of Doral

3371
01:35:59,100 --> 01:36:01,100
to remain in compliance with

3372
01:36:01,100 --> 01:36:02,100
both state and federal

3373
01:36:02,100 --> 01:36:04,100
mandates. I think it's an

3374
01:36:04,100 --> 01:36:06,100
important step in maintaining

3375
01:36:06,100 --> 01:36:07,100
public trust as well, because

3376
01:36:07,100 --> 01:36:08,100
our police department does a

3377
01:36:08,100 --> 01:36:10,100
lot

3378
01:36:10,100 --> 01:36:11,100
of community work already,

3379
01:36:11,100 --> 01:36:13,100
and anyone that lives in the

3380
01:36:13,100 --> 01:36:14,100
city knows that we can trust

3381
01:36:14,100 --> 01:36:15,100
our police. And you've done so

3382
01:36:15,100 --> 01:36:17,100
much work to build that trust

3383
01:36:17,100 --> 01:36:19,100
that I'm fully confident that

3384
01:36:19,100 --> 01:36:21,100
you're not going

3385
01:36:21,100 --> 01:36:23,100
to abuse that. And we're not a

3386
01:36:23,100 --> 01:36:24,100
city that weaponizes our police

3387
01:36:24,100 --> 01:36:26,100
department. And so, for me, I

3388
01:36:26,100 --> 01:36:27,100
think that I just really wanted

3389
01:36:27,100 --> 01:36:28,100
to make it clear that one,

3390
01:36:28,100 --> 01:36:30,100
while we don't have an actual

3391
01:36:30,100 --> 01:36:32,100
agreement,

3392
01:36:33,100 --> 01:36:34,100
and this is an intent

3393
01:36:34,100 --> 01:36:36,100
to discuss one, it's not going

3394
01:36:36,100 --> 01:36:37,100
to be designed to discriminate

3395
01:36:37,100 --> 01:36:39,401
against anyone, nor obviously

3396
01:36:43,100 --> 01:36:44,100
would this council ever support

3397
01:36:44,100 --> 01:36:46,100
doing it or for that purpose.

3398
01:36:46,100 --> 01:36:47,100
And as I said, I know that we

3399
01:36:47,100 --> 01:36:49,100
will make sure that our

3400
01:36:49,100 --> 01:36:51,100
law-abiding citizens and

3401
01:36:52,100 --> 01:36:54,401
residents are not negatively

3402
01:36:56,100 --> 01:36:58,100
affected. We do want to ensure

3403
01:36:58,100 --> 01:37:01,100
that we are applying and also

3404
01:37:01,100 --> 01:37:04,100
enforcing our laws because we

3405
01:37:04,100 --> 01:37:06,100
want to continue

3406
01:37:06,100 --> 01:37:09,100
to have a safe community. And I

3407
01:37:09,100 --> 01:37:11,100
think that this is something

3408
01:37:11,100 --> 01:37:12,100
that as a city, we are going

3409
01:37:12,100 --> 01:37:14,100
to work hand in hand

3410
01:37:14,100 --> 01:37:16,100
with you, with the community to

3411
01:37:16,100 --> 01:37:17,100
make sure that it does get

3412
01:37:17,100 --> 01:37:19,100
supplied correctly. So I just

3413
01:37:19,100 --> 01:37:22,100
wanted to mention that, and you

3414
01:37:22,100 --> 01:37:24,100
have my full support.

3415
01:37:24,100 --> 01:37:25,100
>> Thank you, Vice Mayor.

3416
01:37:25,100 --> 01:37:27,100
>> Thank you. Any other

3417
01:37:27,100 --> 01:37:29,100
questions, comments?

3418
01:37:29,100 --> 01:37:30,100
Councilman Pinero.

3419
01:37:30,100 --> 01:37:31,100
>> Thank you, Mayor. I also

3420
01:37:31,100 --> 01:37:32,100
want to thank you, Chief,

3421
01:37:32,100 --> 01:37:34,100
for clarifying and for your

3422
01:37:34,100 --> 01:37:35,100
statement because I think that

3423
01:37:35,100 --> 01:37:37,100
it really answered a lot

3424
01:37:37,100 --> 01:37:39,100
of the concerns out there. And

3425
01:37:39,100 --> 01:37:41,100
I want to start by saying that

3426
01:37:41,100 --> 01:37:43,100
because unfortunately I think

3427
01:37:43,100 --> 01:37:44,100
that for the past couple

3428
01:37:44,100 --> 01:37:46,100
of weeks have been a lot

3429
01:37:46,100 --> 01:37:47,100
of misinformation

3430
01:37:47,100 --> 01:37:50,100
out there and especially from,

3431
01:37:52,100 --> 01:37:53,100
not only from certain part

3432
01:37:53,100 --> 01:37:55,100
of the media, but so-called

3433
01:37:55,100 --> 01:37:57,100
community leaders that start

3434
01:37:57,100 --> 01:37:59,100
spreading some rumors and, and

3435
01:37:59,100 --> 01:38:02,100
things that we're not planning

3436
01:38:03,100 --> 01:38:06,100
to. Certainly, we have never

3437
01:38:06,100 --> 01:38:07,100
done it in Doral and I'm

3438
01:38:07,100 --> 01:38:09,100
sure that we're not going

3439
01:38:09,100 --> 01:38:11,100
to do it now. And that's why I

3440
01:38:11,100 --> 01:38:14,601
want to say that I trust

3441
01:38:15,100 --> 01:38:17,100
in your judgment.

3442
01:38:17,100 --> 01:38:19,100
>> Thank you.

3443
01:38:20,100 --> 01:38:22,100
>> And I trust

3444
01:38:22,100 --> 01:38:25,601
in all the men and women

3445
01:38:26,100 --> 01:38:27,100
behind you. And I do say that

3446
01:38:27,100 --> 01:38:30,100
we do have the best police

3447
01:38:30,100 --> 01:38:31,100
department in Miami Dade county

3448
01:38:31,100 --> 01:38:33,100
in the state of Florida. And

3449
01:38:33,100 --> 01:38:34,100
that is recognized by other

3450
01:38:34,100 --> 01:38:35,100
agencies and the numbers that

3451
01:38:35,100 --> 01:38:36,100
we have since we had the lowest

3452
01:38:36,100 --> 01:38:37,100
crime rate in Miami Dade

3453
01:38:37,100 --> 01:38:39,100
County. So, I want

3454
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,100
to thank you for that and I

3455
01:38:40,100 --> 01:38:41,100
know that we're going

3456
01:38:41,100 --> 01:38:43,100
to make sure that it continues

3457
01:38:43,100 --> 01:38:45,100
to be that way. You have built

3458
01:38:45,100 --> 01:38:47,100
that community policing that we

3459
01:38:47,100 --> 01:38:48,100
have been talking about

3460
01:38:48,100 --> 01:38:49,100
for a year, two years, and you

3461
01:38:49,100 --> 01:38:51,100
have done an incredible work

3462
01:38:51,100 --> 01:38:54,601
on that. But I also want

3463
01:38:55,100 --> 01:38:58,100
to use this time as the only

3464
01:38:58,100 --> 01:38:59,100
Venezuelan American

3465
01:38:59,100 --> 01:39:01,401
of this group to,

3466
01:39:04,100 --> 01:39:05,100
to ask especially again, those

3467
01:39:05,100 --> 01:39:06,100
so-called community leaders

3468
01:39:06,100 --> 01:39:08,100
to stop using the Venezuelan

3469
01:39:08,100 --> 01:39:09,100
community as the target.

3470
01:39:09,100 --> 01:39:10,100
Because what is going on or

3471
01:39:10,100 --> 01:39:11,100
what we're discussing right

3472
01:39:11,100 --> 01:39:12,100
now, it really doesn't have

3473
01:39:12,100 --> 01:39:14,100
to include the Venezuelan

3474
01:39:14,100 --> 01:39:15,100
community at all. I mean,

3475
01:39:15,100 --> 01:39:16,100
this is not to target one

3476
01:39:16,100 --> 01:39:17,100
particular community. And I

3477
01:39:17,100 --> 01:39:18,100
think that it's unfair. That

3478
01:39:18,100 --> 01:39:20,100
only creates more division,

3479
01:39:20,100 --> 01:39:22,100
more panic

3480
01:39:22,100 --> 01:39:24,100
out there than trying to find

3481
01:39:24,100 --> 01:39:25,100
out how this is going

3482
01:39:25,100 --> 01:39:26,100
to move forward. And we have

3483
01:39:26,100 --> 01:39:28,100
to look back how we actually

3484
01:39:28,100 --> 01:39:29,100
got to this point. We're

3485
01:39:29,100 --> 01:39:31,100
dealing with this,

3486
01:39:31,100 --> 01:39:33,100
unfortunately, because

3487
01:39:34,100 --> 01:39:36,100
of four years

3488
01:39:36,100 --> 01:39:38,100
of open border policy. That was

3489
01:39:38,100 --> 01:39:39,100
a disaster, disaster. And now

3490
01:39:39,100 --> 01:39:41,100
our communities are facing the

3491
01:39:41,100 --> 01:39:43,100
consequences. Unfortunately,

3492
01:39:44,100 --> 01:39:46,100
the Venezuelan community is one

3493
01:39:46,100 --> 01:39:48,100
of those. But I want

3494
01:39:48,100 --> 01:39:50,100
to make sure, and I want to be

3495
01:39:50,100 --> 01:39:51,100
clear that as I understand the

3496
01:39:51,100 --> 01:39:52,100
fear that many in our city

3497
01:39:52,100 --> 01:39:55,100
feels right now because we're a

3498
01:39:55,100 --> 01:39:57,100
city of immigrants, I mean,

3499
01:39:57,100 --> 01:39:58,100
it's a fact that we have closed

3500
01:39:58,100 --> 01:40:00,401
that. 40% of our Doral

3501
01:40:08,100 --> 01:40:09,100
residents are Venezuelans and

3502
01:40:09,100 --> 01:40:12,100
most of them fled the country

3503
01:40:12,100 --> 01:40:14,100
for persecution, oppression,

3504
01:40:14,100 --> 01:40:16,100
humanitarian crisis as

3505
01:40:16,100 --> 01:40:18,100
Cubans, as Nicaraguans and

3506
01:40:18,100 --> 01:40:20,100
other members of our community

3507
01:40:20,100 --> 01:40:21,100
from different parts

3508
01:40:21,100 --> 01:40:23,100
of the world. And certainly,

3509
01:40:23,100 --> 01:40:25,100
there are no criminals. We know

3510
01:40:25,100 --> 01:40:27,100
that. We know that there are no

3511
01:40:27,100 --> 01:40:28,100
criminals. There are small

3512
01:40:28,100 --> 01:40:30,401
business owners, there are

3513
01:40:31,100 --> 01:40:33,100
students, there are

3514
01:40:33,100 --> 01:40:35,100
professionals, there are

3515
01:40:35,100 --> 01:40:37,100
families that are contributing

3516
01:40:37,100 --> 01:40:40,100
to our community every. And

3517
01:40:40,100 --> 01:40:41,100
it's something that I wanted

3518
01:40:41,100 --> 01:40:43,100
to leave on the record because

3519
01:40:43,100 --> 01:40:44,100
I recognize that too. I also,

3520
01:40:44,100 --> 01:40:46,100
as I have been mentioning and

3521
01:40:46,100 --> 01:40:47,100
saying for the past two weeks

3522
01:40:47,100 --> 01:40:49,100
to different media outlets and

3523
01:40:49,100 --> 01:40:50,100
reporters, you know, this

3524
01:40:50,100 --> 01:40:51,100
agreement we're looking forward

3525
01:40:51,100 --> 01:40:52,100
once it's signed,

3526
01:40:52,100 --> 01:40:55,601
certainly I know is meant to

3527
01:40:56,100 --> 01:40:58,100
target individuals who have

3528
01:40:58,100 --> 01:40:59,100
committed crimes, not

3529
01:40:59,100 --> 01:41:00,100
to roundup of law-abiding

3530
01:41:00,100 --> 01:41:02,100
citizens. I do believe that no

3531
01:41:02,100 --> 01:41:03,100
one should be targeted because

3532
01:41:03,100 --> 01:41:05,100
of how they look,

3533
01:41:05,100 --> 01:41:07,100
as I have been saying

3534
01:41:07,100 --> 01:41:10,601
in the past, or the language

3535
01:41:16,100 --> 01:41:18,100
that they speak. And I will

3536
01:41:18,100 --> 01:41:20,100
certainly make sure,

3537
01:41:21,100 --> 01:41:22,100
as we have heard

3538
01:41:22,100 --> 01:41:25,100
from my colleagues as well, to

3539
01:41:25,100 --> 01:41:27,100
ensure that our police

3540
01:41:27,100 --> 01:41:28,100
department certainly keep

3541
01:41:28,100 --> 01:41:30,100
acting with dignity and

3542
01:41:30,100 --> 01:41:31,100
upholding the rights

3543
01:41:31,100 --> 01:41:33,100
of everyone in our community.

3544
01:41:33,100 --> 01:41:36,100
So as having also mentioned

3545
01:41:36,100 --> 01:41:38,100
to the media, for me it's not

3546
01:41:38,100 --> 01:41:41,601
an option. I mean I'm not 100%

3547
01:41:42,100 --> 01:41:44,100
in support

3548
01:41:46,100 --> 01:41:48,100
of everything that is going on.

3549
01:41:48,100 --> 01:41:50,100
Absolutely. No, I mean this is

3550
01:41:50,100 --> 01:41:51,100
not,

3551
01:41:51,100 --> 01:41:53,100
we're not proposing this.

3552
01:41:53,100 --> 01:41:54,100
We're not,

3553
01:41:54,100 --> 01:41:55,100
I'm not the one moving forward

3554
01:41:55,100 --> 01:41:57,100
in this. It's the state law.

3555
01:41:57,100 --> 01:41:58,100
We're just following the law,

3556
01:41:58,100 --> 01:41:59,100
we're following the rules. And

3557
01:41:59,100 --> 01:42:01,100
it's something that people have

3558
01:42:01,100 --> 01:42:02,100
to understand as well. But

3559
01:42:02,100 --> 01:42:04,100
at the same time

3560
01:42:04,100 --> 01:42:06,100
to understand that we're here

3561
01:42:06,100 --> 01:42:08,100
to make sure that not only that

3562
01:42:08,100 --> 01:42:10,100
we're following the law,

3563
01:42:10,100 --> 01:42:12,100
but that we're going to make

3564
01:42:12,100 --> 01:42:13,100
sure that this is done the

3565
01:42:13,100 --> 01:42:17,100
right way. And for me, this is

3566
01:42:17,100 --> 01:42:19,100
not just a blank check that

3567
01:42:19,100 --> 01:42:21,100
we're signing to the state of

3568
01:42:21,100 --> 01:42:23,100
Florida. If

3569
01:42:23,100 --> 01:42:25,100
by some reason we have to bring

3570
01:42:25,100 --> 01:42:27,100
back and have a discussion

3571
01:42:27,100 --> 01:42:29,100
about it,

3572
01:42:29,100 --> 01:42:30,100
I'll be more than glad

3573
01:42:30,100 --> 01:42:32,100
to do it. So, but I want to

3574
01:42:32,100 --> 01:42:33,100
make sure the residents

3575
01:42:33,100 --> 01:42:34,100
understand and especially the

3576
01:42:34,100 --> 01:42:36,100
media that is here as well,

3577
01:42:36,100 --> 01:42:37,100
that we're here to do the right

3578
01:42:37,100 --> 01:42:39,100
things and we're going to make

3579
01:42:39,100 --> 01:42:40,100
sure that is done the right

3580
01:42:40,100 --> 01:42:41,100
way. Thank you.

3581
01:42:41,100 --> 01:42:43,100
>> Thank you, Councilman. Any

3582
01:42:43,100 --> 01:42:44,100
other comments? Councilwoman

3583
01:42:44,100 --> 01:42:46,100
Reynoso?

3584
01:42:46,100 --> 01:42:47,100
>> Okay, love first Chief.

3585
01:42:47,100 --> 01:42:49,100
>> I think you did an excellent

3586
01:42:49,100 --> 01:42:50,100
job answering the questions. I

3587
01:42:50,100 --> 01:42:51,100
think that brought a lot

3588
01:42:51,100 --> 01:42:52,100
of clarification to our

3589
01:42:52,100 --> 01:42:54,100
community that was extremely

3590
01:42:54,100 --> 01:42:55,100
needed at this point. I want to

3591
01:42:55,100 --> 01:42:57,100
thank all our police officers

3592
01:42:57,100 --> 01:42:58,100
as well.

3593
01:42:58,100 --> 01:42:59,100
>> I know that they worked

3594
01:42:59,100 --> 01:43:00,100
really, really.

3595
01:43:00,100 --> 01:43:02,100
hard day in and day out.

3596
01:43:02,100 --> 01:43:04,100
And what I would hate to come

3597
01:43:04,100 --> 01:43:06,100
out of this agenda item is

3598
01:43:06,100 --> 01:43:08,401
for that hard work

3599
01:43:09,100 --> 01:43:11,100
to be affected

3600
01:43:11,100 --> 01:43:12,100
in a negative way. And I have a

3601
01:43:12,100 --> 01:43:14,100
message to the media. I hope

3602
01:43:14,100 --> 01:43:16,100
that the media will use their

3603
01:43:16,100 --> 01:43:17,100
platform to clarify what has

3604
01:43:17,100 --> 01:43:19,100
been reported and help our

3605
01:43:19,100 --> 01:43:20,100
police and help our city send

3606
01:43:20,100 --> 01:43:22,100
the right message to our

3607
01:43:22,100 --> 01:43:24,401
community that public trust

3608
01:43:25,100 --> 01:43:27,100
should not be affected because

3609
01:43:27,100 --> 01:43:30,100
of this MOU the mission is very

3610
01:43:30,100 --> 01:43:31,100
clear. Our police is here to

3611
01:43:31,100 --> 01:43:32,100
serve and protect and that

3612
01:43:32,100 --> 01:43:34,100
immigrants, all people

3613
01:43:34,100 --> 01:43:36,100
within our community, will be

3614
01:43:36,100 --> 01:43:37,100
protected and taken care of.

3615
01:43:37,100 --> 01:43:39,100
That's my comment.

3616
01:43:39,100 --> 01:43:41,401
>> Thank you, Councilwoman. I

3617
01:43:47,100 --> 01:43:48,100
do have some final comments

3618
01:43:48,100 --> 01:43:50,100
before we take up the item. So

3619
01:43:50,100 --> 01:43:52,100
first, I also want to thank the

3620
01:43:52,100 --> 01:43:53,100
chief police and the entire

3621
01:43:53,100 --> 01:43:54,100
police department. I think you

3622
01:43:54,100 --> 01:43:55,100
guys do a great job of being

3623
01:43:55,100 --> 01:43:56,100
out there and building

3624
01:43:56,100 --> 01:43:57,100
relationships

3625
01:43:57,100 --> 01:43:58,100
with our residents. And it's so

3626
01:43:58,100 --> 01:43:59,100
important. And I think it's

3627
01:43:59,100 --> 01:44:00,100
always been a priority

3628
01:44:00,100 --> 01:44:01,100
of this department.

3629
01:44:01,100 --> 01:44:02,100
Unfortunately, as it's been

3630
01:44:02,100 --> 01:44:03,100
stated here today,

3631
01:44:03,100 --> 01:44:04,100
and I passed out a folder,

3632
01:44:04,100 --> 01:44:05,100
as we did a lot

3633
01:44:05,100 --> 01:44:06,100
of research before,

3634
01:44:06,100 --> 01:44:07,100
we were told that this needed

3635
01:44:07,100 --> 01:44:08,100
to come forward, and we had

3636
01:44:08,100 --> 01:44:09,100
to do this to be in compliance

3637
01:44:09,100 --> 01:44:10,100
on the obligation that had been

3638
01:44:10,100 --> 01:44:11,100
put on us by the state

3639
01:44:11,100 --> 01:44:12,100
to comply. We have a. We have

3640
01:44:12,100 --> 01:44:14,100
an obligation and a

3641
01:44:14,100 --> 01:44:15,100
responsibility

3642
01:44:15,100 --> 01:44:16,100
to follow the law. It would be

3643
01:44:16,100 --> 01:44:18,100
hypocritical of us

3644
01:44:18,100 --> 01:44:19,100
to tell any community,

3645
01:44:19,100 --> 01:44:21,100
you need to follow the rules

3646
01:44:21,100 --> 01:44:22,100
and follow the law,

3647
01:44:22,100 --> 01:44:23,100
and then we go around and do

3648
01:44:23,100 --> 01:44:24,100
something different. We don't

3649
01:44:24,100 --> 01:44:25,100
just take red lights because we

3650
01:44:25,100 --> 01:44:27,100
don't like red lights. It is

3651
01:44:27,100 --> 01:44:28,100
the law and we have

3652
01:44:28,100 --> 01:44:29,100
to follow the law. And while we

3653
01:44:29,100 --> 01:44:30,100
may not like it, as

3654
01:44:30,100 --> 01:44:32,100
Councilman Pinero very well

3655
01:44:32,100 --> 01:44:33,100
said, we didn't make the law.

3656
01:44:33,100 --> 01:44:35,100
Can we sit here and watch

3657
01:44:35,100 --> 01:44:36,100
things that happen

3658
01:44:36,100 --> 01:44:38,100
in court and then repeal it?

3659
01:44:38,100 --> 01:44:39,100
Absolutely. And we'll do that.

3660
01:44:39,100 --> 01:44:40,100
And I think that no other

3661
01:44:40,100 --> 01:44:42,100
community has spoken up for its

3662
01:44:42,100 --> 01:44:44,100
community as much as we all

3663
01:44:44,100 --> 01:44:45,100
have, because we can be from

3664
01:44:45,100 --> 01:44:46,100
the same party and have a

3665
01:44:46,100 --> 01:44:48,100
difference of opinions and do

3666
01:44:48,100 --> 01:44:49,100
it respectfully,

3667
01:44:49,100 --> 01:44:50,100
but doesn't preclude us

3668
01:44:50,100 --> 01:44:52,100
from having

3669
01:44:52,100 --> 01:44:53,100
to comply and follow US law.

3670
01:44:53,100 --> 01:44:55,100
So I want to thank you for your

3671
01:44:55,100 --> 01:44:56,100
comments because I think it

3672
01:44:56,100 --> 01:44:58,100
very clearly stated where our

3673
01:44:58,100 --> 01:45:00,100
priorities are and where the

3674
01:45:00,100 --> 01:45:03,601
heart of this city and this

3675
01:45:04,100 --> 01:45:05,100
police department is. And we

3676
01:45:05,100 --> 01:45:07,100
want no one to feel threatened

3677
01:45:07,100 --> 01:45:08,100
or victimized or feel anxious

3678
01:45:08,100 --> 01:45:09,100
about what's happening.

3679
01:45:09,100 --> 01:45:11,100
Although I know all those

3680
01:45:11,100 --> 01:45:13,100
things are hard to put aside

3681
01:45:13,100 --> 01:45:15,100
with what's being experienced.

3682
01:45:15,100 --> 01:45:17,100
I've made it very clear in

3683
01:45:17,100 --> 01:45:20,100
every time I've been asked that

3684
01:45:20,100 --> 01:45:21,100
we are not here to weaponize

3685
01:45:21,100 --> 01:45:22,100
our police department. I think

3686
01:45:22,100 --> 01:45:24,100
that you humanize what the work

3687
01:45:24,100 --> 01:45:26,401
of police officers do,

3688
01:45:28,100 --> 01:45:29,100
which is a very difficult job

3689
01:45:29,100 --> 01:45:30,100
to do. And it's harder today

3690
01:45:30,100 --> 01:45:32,100
to find people who want

3691
01:45:32,100 --> 01:45:33,100
to come into the line of public

3692
01:45:33,100 --> 01:45:35,100
service and law enforcement

3693
01:45:35,100 --> 01:45:36,100
because of its stereotypes.

3694
01:45:36,100 --> 01:45:37,100
And so obviously legislation

3695
01:45:37,100 --> 01:45:38,100
like this doesn't help that

3696
01:45:38,100 --> 01:45:39,100
understanding the intent

3697
01:45:39,100 --> 01:45:40,100
of why it's done many times.

3698
01:45:40,100 --> 01:45:42,100
And so I think our job is

3699
01:45:42,100 --> 01:45:43,100
to continue

3700
01:45:43,100 --> 01:45:44,100
to raise the voices of those

3701
01:45:44,100 --> 01:45:45,100
that we know that come here

3702
01:45:45,100 --> 01:45:46,100
to do the right thing,

3703
01:45:46,100 --> 01:45:47,100
those who are here following

3704
01:45:47,100 --> 01:45:48,100
the law, those who are here

3705
01:45:48,100 --> 01:45:49,100
to provide,

3706
01:45:49,100 --> 01:45:51,100
to be productive members

3707
01:45:51,100 --> 01:45:53,100
of our society. But I think the

3708
01:45:53,100 --> 01:45:54,100
most important part of this is

3709
01:45:54,100 --> 01:45:56,100
this resolution is not the

3710
01:45:56,100 --> 01:45:57,100
memorandum of understanding.

3711
01:45:57,100 --> 01:45:58,100
This is giving direction for

3712
01:45:58,100 --> 01:46:00,100
our legal department and

3713
01:46:00,100 --> 01:46:01,100
administration to enter

3714
01:46:01,100 --> 01:46:02,100
into a man of barranda

3715
01:46:02,100 --> 01:46:03,100
of understanding.

3716
01:46:03,100 --> 01:46:04,100
With that being said, there

3717
01:46:04,100 --> 01:46:05,100
were a couple items I asked

3718
01:46:05,100 --> 01:46:06,100
to be included

3719
01:46:06,100 --> 01:46:07,100
into the resolution,

3720
01:46:07,100 --> 01:46:08,100
which is now before all

3721
01:46:08,100 --> 01:46:09,100
of you and Councilman Cabral, I

3722
01:46:09,100 --> 01:46:10,100
believe this answers the

3723
01:46:10,100 --> 01:46:11,100
questions that you ask more

3724
01:46:11,100 --> 01:46:12,100
than anything. And so it's

3725
01:46:12,100 --> 01:46:14,100
important

3726
01:46:14,100 --> 01:46:15,100
to highlight what is actually

3727
01:46:15,100 --> 01:46:16,100
in front of us. One of the

3728
01:46:16,100 --> 01:46:18,100
whereas clauses says it is

3729
01:46:18,100 --> 01:46:19,100
desired the city council, that

3730
01:46:19,100 --> 01:46:20,100
an agreement be executed that

3731
01:46:20,100 --> 01:46:21,100
fulfills the city's obligations

3732
01:46:21,100 --> 01:46:23,100
under Florida law without.

3733
01:46:23,100 --> 01:46:24,100
Without exceeding budgeted

3734
01:46:24,100 --> 01:46:25,100
funds. We cannot provide

3735
01:46:25,100 --> 01:46:26,100
resources we don't have. So

3736
01:46:26,100 --> 01:46:27,100
we're not going

3737
01:46:27,100 --> 01:46:28,100
to take officers off

3738
01:46:28,100 --> 01:46:30,100
of our patrol, our officers

3739
01:46:30,100 --> 01:46:31,100
off of our HOA fraud unit,

3740
01:46:31,100 --> 01:46:32,100
or officers off of certain

3741
01:46:32,100 --> 01:46:34,100
units that serve a purpose to

3742
01:46:34,100 --> 01:46:35,100
do a purpose that we're not

3743
01:46:35,100 --> 01:46:36,100
responsible for having

3744
01:46:36,100 --> 01:46:37,100
to serve. Additionally, we

3745
01:46:37,100 --> 01:46:39,100
added in the final where, I'm

3746
01:46:39,100 --> 01:46:40,100
sorry, in the final section,

3747
01:46:40,100 --> 01:46:42,100
in section 2 in the last

3748
01:46:42,100 --> 01:46:43,100
statement says as a

3749
01:46:43,100 --> 01:46:44,100
participating United States

3750
01:46:44,100 --> 01:46:46,100
government agency to protect

3751
01:46:46,100 --> 01:46:48,100
for operational assistance

3752
01:46:48,100 --> 01:46:50,401
pertaining to the enforcement

3753
01:46:51,100 --> 01:46:52,100
of laws

3754
01:46:52,100 --> 01:46:53,100
to combat illegal immigration

3755
01:46:53,100 --> 01:46:55,100
to the extent necessary

3756
01:46:55,100 --> 01:46:56,100
to comply with Florida law,

3757
01:46:56,100 --> 01:46:57,100
which means no one's going

3758
01:46:57,100 --> 01:46:59,100
above what we need to do

3759
01:46:59,100 --> 01:47:00,100
to comply with our obligation

3760
01:47:00,100 --> 01:47:02,100
by the state of Florida. So

3761
01:47:02,100 --> 01:47:03,100
while many of us may have an

3762
01:47:03,100 --> 01:47:05,100
understanding that this is a

3763
01:47:05,100 --> 01:47:06,100
difficult item that we are not

3764
01:47:06,100 --> 01:47:07,100
proposing, rather doing

3765
01:47:07,100 --> 01:47:09,100
ministerially because we have

3766
01:47:09,100 --> 01:47:10,100
to comply, I think the

3767
01:47:10,100 --> 01:47:11,100
department has its direction

3768
01:47:11,100 --> 01:47:12,100
on what its priorities are, and

3769
01:47:12,100 --> 01:47:13,100
I don't think it's ever lost

3770
01:47:13,100 --> 01:47:14,100
its way on that. And this

3771
01:47:14,100 --> 01:47:16,100
for sure won't steer them

3772
01:47:16,100 --> 01:47:17,100
in any wrong direction.

3773
01:47:17,100 --> 01:47:18,100
But we do have an obligation

3774
01:47:18,100 --> 01:47:20,100
to comply and we will continue

3775
01:47:20,100 --> 01:47:21,100
to watch what happens in the

3776
01:47:21,100 --> 01:47:23,100
courts and everything else

3777
01:47:23,100 --> 01:47:24,100
that's being challenged so that

3778
01:47:24,100 --> 01:47:25,100
we have an opportunity

3779
01:47:25,100 --> 01:47:26,100
to act should we need to

3780
01:47:26,100 --> 01:47:27,100
in those cases. So I want to

3781
01:47:27,100 --> 01:47:28,100
thank also our city attorney

3782
01:47:28,100 --> 01:47:29,100
because he worked quite some

3783
01:47:29,100 --> 01:47:30,100
time on this. I really drove

3784
01:47:30,100 --> 01:47:31,100
him crazy

3785
01:47:31,100 --> 01:47:32,100
in making sure we had all

3786
01:47:32,100 --> 01:47:33,100
of our legal. So the city

3787
01:47:33,100 --> 01:47:34,100
wasn't in any liability

3788
01:47:34,100 --> 01:47:36,100
on either side.

3789
01:47:36,100 --> 01:47:37,100
On either side. Because I think

3790
01:47:37,100 --> 01:47:39,100
that overall the moral

3791
01:47:39,100 --> 01:47:40,100
obligation

3792
01:47:40,100 --> 01:47:41,100
of our police department is

3793
01:47:41,100 --> 01:47:42,100
to serve and protect everyone.

3794
01:47:42,100 --> 01:47:43,100
So thank you all very much

3795
01:47:43,100 --> 01:47:45,100
for what you do. And we look

3796
01:47:45,100 --> 01:47:46,100
forward to continuing

3797
01:47:46,100 --> 01:47:47,100
to support our men and women

3798
01:47:47,100 --> 01:47:48,100
in blue. And every single

3799
01:47:48,100 --> 01:47:49,100
resident that lives

3800
01:47:49,100 --> 01:47:50,100
within the City of Doral will

3801
01:47:50,100 --> 01:47:51,100
continue to lift the voices

3802
01:47:51,100 --> 01:47:52,100
of those who are deserving

3803
01:47:52,100 --> 01:47:54,100
of that.

3804
01:49:00,100 --> 01:49:02,100

of the city council

of the city of D. Florida

3828
01:49:34,100 --> 01:49:36,100
expressing support for House

3829
01:49:36,100 --> 01:49:37,100
Bill 983 sponsored

3830
01:49:37,100 --> 01:49:38,100
by state representative Juan

3831
01:49:38,100 --> 01:49:40,100
Carlos Por, providing for the

3832
01:49:40,100 --> 01:49:41,100
middle incorporation recitals

3833
01:49:41,100 --> 01:49:42,100
and an effective date.

3834
01:49:42,100 --> 01:49:43,100
>> All right, Councilman

3835
01:49:43,100 --> 01:49:44,100
Reynolds, so this is your lay

3836
01:49:44,100 --> 01:49:45,100
down item.

3837
01:49:45,100 --> 01:49:47,100
>> Thank you, Mayor. This laid

3838
01:49:47,100 --> 01:49:48,100
out lay down item has to do

3839
01:49:48,100 --> 01:49:50,100
with House Bill 983. It was

3840
01:49:50,100 --> 01:49:52,100
proposed by Representative

3841
01:49:52,100 --> 01:49:53,100
One Card Harvest for us. It has

3842
01:49:53,100 --> 01:49:55,100
to do with homeowner

3843
01:49:55,100 --> 01:49:57,100
association reform. Why does

3844
01:49:57,100 --> 01:50:00,100
this matter in Doral? Many

3845
01:50:00,100 --> 01:50:02,100
of our neighbors in Doral are

3846
01:50:02,100 --> 01:50:03,100
run. Many of our neighborhoods

3847
01:50:03,100 --> 01:50:07,201
in Doral are ran by HOAS. And

3848
01:50:09,100 --> 01:50:10,100
we often hear the complaints

3849
01:50:10,100 --> 01:50:11,100
about lack of transparency,

3850
01:50:11,100 --> 01:50:12,100
financial issues,

3851
01:50:12,100 --> 01:50:14,100
not having access

3852
01:50:14,100 --> 01:50:16,100
to important records. And this

3853
01:50:16,100 --> 01:50:18,401
bill helps protect homeowners

3854
01:50:19,100 --> 01:50:20,100
and gives them more rights and

3855
01:50:20,100 --> 01:50:22,100
oversights. For that reason,

3856
01:50:22,100 --> 01:50:24,100
I thought it was very important

3857
01:50:24,100 --> 01:50:25,100
to bring it to this agenda

3858
01:50:25,100 --> 01:50:27,100
to hopefully get the support

3859
01:50:27,100 --> 01:50:28,100
of my colleagues as well

3860
01:50:28,100 --> 01:50:30,100
to support the bill that

3861
01:50:30,100 --> 01:50:31,100
Representative Torres is

3862
01:50:31,100 --> 01:50:33,100
proposing.

3863
01:50:33,100 --> 01:50:35,100
>> Thank you. Thank you.

3864
01:50:35,100 --> 01:50:37,100
>> Councilwoman, any comments?

3865
01:50:37,100 --> 01:50:38,100
Motion, motion to approve by

3866
01:50:38,100 --> 01:50:40,100
Vice Mayor Porras. Second by

3867
01:50:40,100 --> 01:50:42,100
Councilman Pinero. If no one

3868
01:50:42,100 --> 01:50:43,100
has any comments,

3869
01:50:43,100 --> 01:50:44,100
I do have two. First, I want

3870
01:50:44,100 --> 01:50:45,100
to thank you, Council

3871
01:50:45,100 --> 01:50:46,100
Marinosa,

3872
01:50:46,100 --> 01:50:47,100
for bringing this forward,

3873
01:50:47,100 --> 01:50:48,100
for being attentive

3874
01:50:48,100 --> 01:50:49,100
in all the meetings,

3875
01:50:49,100 --> 01:50:50,100
for participating during our

3876
01:50:50,100 --> 01:50:51,100
Tallahassee visit in all of our

3877
01:50:51,100 --> 01:50:53,100
meetings and taking this and

3878
01:50:53,100 --> 01:50:54,100
running with it. We had an

3879
01:50:54,100 --> 01:50:55,100
extensive conversation about

3880
01:50:55,100 --> 01:50:56,100
HOA reform because it affects

3881
01:50:56,100 --> 01:50:57,100
us deeply. And I think the most

3882
01:50:57,100 --> 01:50:59,100
important part of this bill,

3883
01:50:59,100 --> 01:51:00,100
if it passes,

3884
01:51:00,100 --> 01:51:02,100
is it allows local authorities

3885
01:51:02,100 --> 01:51:03,100
to investigate an audit and be

3886
01:51:03,100 --> 01:51:05,100
more part

3887
01:51:05,100 --> 01:51:06,100
of catching those fraud. And a

3888
01:51:06,100 --> 01:51:07,100
lot of times we see our senior

3889
01:51:07,100 --> 01:51:10,100
citizens fall as victims more

3890
01:51:10,100 --> 01:51:11,100
than anybody. So thank you

3891
01:51:11,100 --> 01:51:12,100
for running with this. I think

3892
01:51:12,100 --> 01:51:15,100
it was extremely important and

3893
01:51:15,100 --> 01:51:17,100
time sensitive so that it gets

3894
01:51:17,100 --> 01:51:19,100
in the hands of legislators and

3895
01:51:19,100 --> 01:51:20,100
hopefully we see it by path and

3896
01:51:20,100 --> 01:51:22,100
can help more locally our

3897
01:51:22,100 --> 01:51:23,100
residents that are affected

3898
01:51:23,100 --> 01:51:25,401
by HOA criminalization and.

3899
01:51:26,100 --> 01:51:29,100
And. And abuse. So, thank you

3900
01:51:29,100 --> 01:51:30,100
very much. I'd like to be a

01:52:21,100 --> 01:52:22,100
of you are aware, back in

3940
01:52:22,100 --> 01:52:23,100
2023, the city entered

3941
01:52:23,100 --> 01:52:24,100
into a settlement agreement

3942
01:52:24,100 --> 01:52:25,100
with Oasis, as commonly known.

3943
01:52:25,100 --> 01:52:26,100
It is a development of Multi

3944
01:52:26,100 --> 01:52:27,100
Family. It was running under

3945
01:52:27,100 --> 01:52:28,100
what is commonly known as the

3946
01:52:28,100 --> 01:52:30,100
Live Local Act. That agreement

3947
01:52:30,100 --> 01:52:33,601
covered most things as far as

3948
01:52:34,100 --> 01:52:36,100
height and intensity, but it

3949
01:52:36,100 --> 01:52:38,100
was not completely clear as far

3950
01:52:38,100 --> 01:52:40,100
as parking. And parking has

3951
01:52:40,100 --> 01:52:42,100
become kind

3952
01:52:43,100 --> 01:52:45,100
of a sticking issue in this.

3953
01:52:45,100 --> 01:52:46,100
The applicant, which is here

3954
01:52:46,100 --> 01:52:48,100
today, being represented by

3955
01:52:48,100 --> 01:52:50,100
Vanessa Madrid from Holland

3956
01:52:50,100 --> 01:52:51,100
at night, has been wonderful

3957
01:52:51,100 --> 01:52:53,100
in working with us. We've been

3958
01:52:53,100 --> 01:52:54,100
meeting diligently. I want

3959
01:52:54,100 --> 01:52:56,100
to thank Michelle Lopez and

3960
01:52:56,100 --> 01:52:57,100
Edna and the rest

3961
01:52:57,100 --> 01:52:59,100
of the staff, who we've also

3962
01:52:59,100 --> 01:53:00,100
met, the mayor, the manager,

3963
01:53:00,100 --> 01:53:02,100
everyone in trying to come

3964
01:53:02,100 --> 01:53:04,100
to some kind of an agreement.

3965
01:53:04,100 --> 01:53:05,100
So what you have

3966
01:53:05,100 --> 01:53:07,100
before you here is an amendment

3967
01:53:07,100 --> 01:53:09,100
to the settlement agreement

3968
01:53:09,100 --> 01:53:10,100
that provides for a percentage

3969
01:53:10,100 --> 01:53:12,100
of parking that is acceptable

3970
01:53:12,100 --> 01:53:14,100
to the applicant. And we've

3971
01:53:14,100 --> 01:53:16,100
made some concessions. And so I

3972
01:53:16,100 --> 01:53:17,100
think it's a good compromise.

3973
01:53:17,100 --> 01:53:19,100
It avoids having this drag

3974
01:53:19,100 --> 01:53:20,100
on or become litigious,

3975
01:53:20,100 --> 01:53:23,100
and it will allow the project

3976
01:53:23,100 --> 01:53:24,100
to move forward. And Ms.

3977
01:53:24,100 --> 01:53:26,100
Madrid, if I've left anything

3978
01:53:26,100 --> 01:53:28,401
out, feel free to.

3979
01:53:30,100 --> 01:53:32,100
>> Thank you very much, Mr.

3980
01:53:32,100 --> 01:53:33,100
Covilla. If there's any

3981
01:53:33,100 --> 01:53:34,100
questions,

3982
01:53:34,100 --> 01:53:35,100
that would be the time.

3983
01:53:35,100 --> 01:53:37,100
Otherwise, I need a motion

3984
01:53:37,100 --> 01:53:38,100
to approve.

3985
01:53:38,100 --> 01:53:39,100
>> Motion to approve.

3986
01:53:39,100 --> 01:53:41,100

4054
01:55:05,100 --> 01:55:07,100
mayor and council. The

4055
01:55:07,100 --> 01:55:09,401
applicant, Blast Sanchez, is

4056
01:55:10,100 --> 01:55:11,100
proposing a project

4057
01:55:11,100 --> 01:55:12,100
by the name of Smash Paddle

4058
01:55:12,100 --> 01:55:13,100
Courts. The applicant is

4059
01:55:13,100 --> 01:55:14,100
requesting a special exception

4060
01:55:14,100 --> 01:55:15,100
approval to permit fitness

4061
01:55:15,100 --> 01:55:16,100
sports facility services,

4062
01:55:16,100 --> 01:55:17,100
including health and exercise

4063
01:55:17,100 --> 01:55:19,100
centers that are larger than

4064
01:55:19,100 --> 01:55:20,100
5,000 square feet pursuant to

4065
01:55:20,100 --> 01:55:21,100
Citi Code section 6849

4066
01:55:21,100 --> 01:55:22,100
for approximately 2.05 acres

4067
01:55:22,100 --> 01:55:23,100
of property located at 8080

4068
01:55:23,100 --> 01:55:24,100
North 58th Street. The proposed

4069
01:55:24,100 --> 01:55:25,100
project is an indoor paddle

4070
01:55:25,100 --> 01:55:26,100
facility in an existing

4071
01:55:26,100 --> 01:55:27,100
structure totaling 36,612

4072
01:55:27,100 --> 01:55:29,100
square feet, located

4073
01:55:42,100 --> 01:55:45,100
in the adaptive reuse area

4074
01:55:50,100 --> 01:55:52,100
to include seven paddle courts,

4075
01:55:52,100 --> 01:55:54,100
a self-service concession area,

4076
01:55:54,100 --> 01:55:55,100
some offices. The site plan

4077
01:55:55,100 --> 01:55:57,100
also proposes enhancements

4078
01:55:58,100 --> 01:55:59,100
to the parking area,

4079
01:55:59,100 --> 01:56:00,100
landscaping, the addition of

4080
01:56:00,100 --> 01:56:01,100
some bike racks and

4081
01:56:01,100 --> 01:56:03,100
incorporation of public art.

4082
01:56:03,100 --> 01:56:04,100
There was a zoning workshop

4083
01:56:04,100 --> 01:56:06,100
held on January 22, 2025. So

4084
01:56:06,100 --> 01:56:08,100
this is a little bit

4085
01:56:08,100 --> 01:56:10,100
of a unique request. And so I'm

4086
01:56:10,100 --> 01:56:12,100
going to give you a little bit

4087
01:56:12,100 --> 01:56:13,100
of background

4088
01:56:13,100 --> 01:56:15,401
on the adaptive reuse.

4089
01:56:16,100 --> 01:56:17,100
>> Explain that.

4090
01:56:17,100 --> 01:56:19,100
>> Explain special exceptions

4091
01:56:19,100 --> 01:56:21,100
to better assist the community

4092
01:56:21,100 --> 01:56:23,100
in understanding this process.

4093
01:56:23,100 --> 01:56:24,100
So in our city we have an

4094
01:56:24,100 --> 01:56:26,100
overlay called the Adaptive

4095
01:56:26,100 --> 01:56:27,100
reuse. It's also referred

4096
01:56:27,100 --> 01:56:29,100
to as the Downtown Doral Art

4097
01:56:29,100 --> 01:56:31,100
district. And it's just north

4098
01:56:31,100 --> 01:56:33,100
of the city hall facility

4099
01:56:33,100 --> 01:56:34,100
bounded by Northwest 58th

4100
01:56:34,100 --> 01:56:36,100
street to the north, Northwest

4101
01:56:36,100 --> 01:56:38,100
54th street to the south.

4102
01:56:38,100 --> 01:56:40,100
Northwest 79th Avenue

4103
01:56:40,100 --> 01:56:41,100
to the east and Northwest 87th

4104
01:56:41,100 --> 01:56:43,100
Avenue to the west. And the

4105
01:56:43,100 --> 01:56:45,100
purpose of the district is to

4106
01:56:45,100 --> 01:56:47,100
take buildings that already

4107
01:56:47,100 --> 01:56:49,100
exist that are previously

4108
01:56:49,100 --> 01:56:50,100
heavier in commercial and

4109
01:56:50,100 --> 01:56:52,100
industrial use,

4110
01:56:52,100 --> 01:56:53,100
and convert them to more

4111
01:56:53,100 --> 01:56:54,100
commercial uses that promote

4112
01:56:54,100 --> 01:56:56,100
the city's arts,

4113
01:56:56,100 --> 01:56:57,100
culture and wellness. So an

4114
01:56:57,100 --> 01:56:59,100
adaptive reuse is essentially a

4115
01:56:59,100 --> 01:57:00,100
change of use

4116
01:57:00,100 --> 01:57:02,100
of an existing structure

4117
01:57:02,100 --> 01:57:04,100
from unauthorized use

4118
01:57:04,100 --> 01:57:06,100
to an authorized use in which

4119
01:57:06,100 --> 01:57:07,100
the structure was not

4120
01:57:07,100 --> 01:57:09,100
originally designed for. And so

4121
01:57:09,100 --> 01:57:10,100
in our code we have a series

4122
01:57:10,100 --> 01:57:12,100
of uses that are permitted by

4123
01:57:12,100 --> 01:57:14,100
right or uses that are

4124
01:57:14,100 --> 01:57:16,100
permitted

4125
01:57:16,100 --> 01:57:18,100
through supplemental or with

4126
01:57:18,100 --> 01:57:20,401
conditions and limitations. So

4127
01:57:22,100 --> 01:57:23,100
in this district,

4128
01:57:23,100 --> 01:57:25,100
uses permitted

4129
01:57:26,100 --> 01:57:28,100
by right include uses permitted

4130
01:57:28,100 --> 01:57:29,100
in the underlying zoning

4131
01:57:29,100 --> 01:57:31,100
districts,

4132
01:57:31,100 --> 01:57:33,100
alcohol and beverage

4133
01:57:33,100 --> 01:57:34,100
establishments,

4134
01:57:34,100 --> 01:57:36,100
cultural activities and

4135
01:57:36,100 --> 01:57:38,100
exhibitions, eating

4136
01:57:38,100 --> 01:57:40,100
establishment, indoor pet

4137
01:57:40,100 --> 01:57:42,100
centers, retail services,

4138
01:57:42,100 --> 01:57:44,100
retail services for fitness,

4139
01:57:44,100 --> 01:57:46,100
sports services, including

4140
01:57:46,100 --> 01:57:48,100
health, exercise centers,

4141
01:57:48,100 --> 01:57:50,100
limited to 5,000 square feet,

4142
01:57:50,100 --> 01:57:52,100
parking structures,

4143
01:57:52,100 --> 01:57:54,100
et cetera. There's also

4144
01:57:54,100 --> 01:57:55,100
supplemental uses and

4145
01:57:55,100 --> 01:57:57,100
conditions with limitations.

4146
01:57:57,100 --> 01:57:58,100
There's three

4147
01:57:58,100 --> 01:58:01,601
in this category. The first is

4148
01:58:02,100 --> 01:58:04,100
prohibited uses, which means

4149
01:58:04,100 --> 01:58:06,100
your zoning code says we cannot

4150
01:58:06,100 --> 01:58:07,100
have any of these uses

4151
01:58:07,100 --> 01:58:10,100
in this area, which include

4152
01:58:16,100 --> 01:58:18,100
residential, hotels, lodging,

4153
01:58:18,100 --> 01:58:19,100
medical uses, assisted living

4154
01:58:19,100 --> 01:58:21,100
facilities, facilities,

4155
01:58:21,100 --> 01:58:22,100
educational facilities,

4156
01:58:22,100 --> 01:58:24,100
funeral homes, et cetera. The

4157
01:58:24,100 --> 01:58:25,100
second category is special

4158
01:58:25,100 --> 01:58:27,100
exception uses in which this

4159
01:58:27,100 --> 01:58:28,100
application falls under. And

4160
01:58:28,100 --> 01:58:29,100
those uses may include

4161
01:58:29,100 --> 01:58:31,100
self-storage facilities,

4162
01:58:31,100 --> 01:58:32,100
indoor outdoor halls for hire

4163
01:58:32,100 --> 01:58:34,100
for more than 200 people,

4164
01:58:34,100 --> 01:58:35,100
fitness sports services,

4165
01:58:35,100 --> 01:58:36,100
including health exercise

4166
01:58:36,100 --> 01:58:37,100
centers that are larger than

4167
01:58:37,100 --> 01:58:38,100
5,000 gross square feet.

4168
01:58:38,100 --> 01:58:39,100
Again, this project,

4169
01:58:39,100 --> 01:58:40,100
as previously stated,

4170
01:58:40,100 --> 01:58:41,100
the structure is 36,600 2012

4171
01:58:41,100 --> 01:58:42,100
square feet. So this specific

4172
01:58:42,100 --> 01:58:43,100
site

4173
01:58:43,100 --> 01:58:44,100
for this specific use falls

4174
01:58:44,100 --> 01:58:45,100
under this category. And the

4175
01:58:45,100 --> 01:58:46,100
third category is use is

4176
01:58:46,100 --> 01:58:48,100
subject to supplemental

4177
01:58:48,100 --> 01:58:49,100
conditions which include auto,

4178
01:58:49,100 --> 01:58:50,100
truck, van sales, rental,

4179
01:58:50,100 --> 01:58:52,100
storage, repairs, storage,

4180
01:58:57,100 --> 01:59:00,100
etc. And then fitness board

4181
01:59:01,100 --> 01:59:02,100
services, including 5,000

4182
01:59:02,100 --> 01:59:03,100
square feet, including under

4183
01:59:03,100 --> 01:59:04,100
5,000 square feet. And so,

4184
01:59:04,100 --> 01:59:05,100
so what does all this mean

4185
01:59:05,100 --> 01:59:06,100
in terms of use? So,

4186
01:59:06,100 --> 01:59:07,100
in our code and

4187
01:59:07,100 --> 01:59:08,100
in other codes,

4188
01:59:08,100 --> 01:59:09,100
we have two types of changes

4189
01:59:09,100 --> 01:59:10,100
of use. When you have your

4190
01:59:10,100 --> 01:59:11,100
zoning and your land use in

4191
01:59:11,100 --> 01:59:12,100
place and they're consistent,

4192
01:59:12,100 --> 01:59:13,100
you're going

4193
01:59:13,100 --> 01:59:14,100
to either have uses

4194
01:59:14,100 --> 01:59:15,100
by rights or uses

4195
01:59:15,100 --> 01:59:16,100
by special exception. And so

4196
01:59:16,100 --> 01:59:17,100
uses

4197
01:59:17,100 --> 01:59:18,100
by right only require a review

4198
01:59:18,100 --> 01:59:19,100
by your planning and zoning

4199
01:59:19,100 --> 01:59:20,100
department and your building

4200
01:59:20,100 --> 01:59:21,100
department. Uses by special

4201
01:59:21,100 --> 01:59:22,100
exception have an added layer

4202
01:59:22,100 --> 01:59:23,100
of review, which include review

4203
01:59:23,100 --> 01:59:24,100
and approval by the city

4204
01:59:24,100 --> 01:59:25,100
council and then your

4205
01:59:25,100 --> 01:59:26,100
administrative process,

4206
01:59:26,100 --> 01:59:27,100
which is a review and approval

4207
01:59:27,100 --> 01:59:28,100
by your planning and zoning

4208
01:59:28,100 --> 01:59:30,100
department and your building

4209
01:59:30,100 --> 01:59:32,100
department. This specific site

4210
01:59:32,100 --> 01:59:34,100
is zoned industrial,

4211
01:59:36,100 --> 01:59:37,100
with a future land use map

4212
01:59:37,100 --> 01:59:39,100
of industrial as well. It's

4213
01:59:39,100 --> 01:59:40,100
surrounded

4214
01:59:40,100 --> 01:59:41,100
by industrial districts

4215
01:59:41,100 --> 01:59:43,100
on all four sides. The future

4216
01:59:43,100 --> 01:59:44,100
land use category on all four

4217
01:59:44,100 --> 01:59:45,100
sides is also industrial. The

4218
01:59:45,100 --> 01:59:47,100
overlay is adaptive re use.

4219
01:59:47,100 --> 01:59:48,100
And then you've got Warehouses

4220
01:59:48,100 --> 01:59:50,100
through the north southeast

4221
01:59:50,100 --> 01:59:51,100
with medical center

4222
01:59:51,100 --> 01:59:54,100
to the west. So all the uses

4223
01:59:54,100 --> 01:59:55,100
are consistent and it's exactly

4224
01:59:55,100 --> 01:59:57,100
what we want to see

4225
01:59:57,100 --> 01:59:59,100
on our maps. On the screen

4226
01:59:59,100 --> 02:00:01,100
before you,

4227
02:00:01,100 --> 02:00:02,100
you have perspectives from the

4228
02:00:02,100 --> 02:00:04,100
south and the north and then an

4229
02:00:04,100 --> 02:00:05,100
overhead perspective

4230
02:00:05,100 --> 02:00:07,100
of the site.

4231
02:00:09,100 --> 02:00:10,100
>> Again.

4232
02:00:10,100 --> 02:00:12,100
>> The site plan proposes seven

4233
02:00:12,100 --> 02:00:13,100
paddle courts, self-service

4234
02:00:13,100 --> 02:00:14,100
concession, office spaces,

4235
02:00:14,100 --> 02:00:15,100
enhancement to your parking lot

4236
02:00:15,100 --> 02:00:17,100
area and landscaping, addition

4237
02:00:17,100 --> 02:00:18,100
of the bike racks and

4238
02:00:18,100 --> 02:00:20,100
compliance with public art.

4239
02:00:20,100 --> 02:00:21,100
All

4240
02:00:21,100 --> 02:00:23,100
of the zoning data is

4241
02:00:23,100 --> 02:00:24,100
consistent with your code.

4242
02:00:24,100 --> 02:00:25,100
There's 48 parking spaces. And

4243
02:00:25,100 --> 02:00:27,100
with that, staff recommends the

4244
02:00:27,100 --> 02:00:28,100
mayor and council approve the

4245
02:00:28,100 --> 02:00:30,401

02:00:32,100 --> 02:00:33,100
permit fitness court services,

4247
02:00:33,100 --> 02:00:35,100
including health exercise

4248

is my item. Basically, we're

4314
02:02:10,100 --> 02:02:11,100
amending the ordinance for

4315
02:02:11,100 --> 02:02:13,100
boards and committees once

4316
02:02:13,100 --> 02:02:14,100
again, as I mentioned earlier

4317
02:02:14,100 --> 02:02:15,100
when we were approving the

4318
02:02:15,100 --> 02:02:16,100
committees,

4319
02:02:16,100 --> 02:02:17,100
it's very difficult

4320
02:02:17,100 --> 02:02:18,100
to meet some

4321
02:02:18,100 --> 02:02:19,100
of these standards. We don't

4322
02:02:19,100 --> 02:02:20,100
even impose them on ourselves

4323
02:02:20,100 --> 02:02:21,100
as elected officials. I wasn't

4324
02:02:21,100 --> 02:02:22,100
supportive

4325
02:02:22,100 --> 02:02:23,100
of the change initially. So

4326
02:02:23,100 --> 02:02:24,100
we're going to roll it back

4327
02:02:24,100 --> 02:02:25,100
to the way it was,

4328
02:02:25,100 --> 02:02:26,100
which has worked for 20 years.

4329
02:02:26,100 --> 02:02:29,100
So if there's any questions,

4330
02:02:30,100 --> 02:02:31,100
I would need a motion

4331
02:02:31,100 --> 02:02:33,100
to approve.

4332
02:02:33,100 --> 02:02:34,100

4368
02:03:31,100 --> 02:03:32,100
reflects and no one has chosen

4369
02:03:32,100 --> 02:03:33,100
to speak at this time. And we

4370
02:03:33,100 --> 02:03:34,100
will hear

4371
02:03:34,100 --> 02:03:35,100
from the city attorney.

4372
02:03:35,100 --> 02:03:36,100
>> Thank you, Madam Mayor.

4373
02:03:36,100 --> 02:03:37,100
So, this item is one that I

4374
02:03:37,100 --> 02:03:38,100
worked with the clerk. And

4375
02:03:38,100 --> 02:03:39,100
basically, what occurs is that

4376
02:03:39,100 --> 02:03:40,100
anyone that is a canvasser,

4377
02:03:40,100 --> 02:03:41,100
peddler, it could be someone

4378
02:03:41,100 --> 02:03:42,100
that owns a fumigation company

4379
02:03:42,100 --> 02:03:43,100
and wishes to go to door

4380
02:03:43,100 --> 02:03:44,100
to door

4381
02:03:44,100 --> 02:03:45,100
to sell their services, needs

4382
02:03:45,100 --> 02:03:46,100
to first apply for a permit

4383
02:03:46,100 --> 02:03:47,100
with the city. The way that it

4384
02:03:47,100 --> 02:03:48,100
was currently reads is that the

4385
02:03:48,100 --> 02:03:49,100
permit has to be sought

4386
02:03:49,100 --> 02:03:50,100
by the city clerk. Which is

4387
02:03:50,100 --> 02:03:52,100
somewhat strange being that the

4388
02:03:52,100 --> 02:03:53,100
clerk is not the main person

4389
02:03:53,100 --> 02:03:55,100
in the city to deal with a

4390
02:03:55,100 --> 02:03:56,100
permit safe especially dealing

4391
02:03:56,100 --> 02:03:57,100
with uses that would be the

4392
02:03:57,100 --> 02:03:58,100
planning and zoning department.

4393
02:03:58,100 --> 02:04:00,100
So should you adopt this

4394
02:04:00,100 --> 02:04:01,100
ordinance, it would change

4395
02:04:01,100 --> 02:04:02,100
from the city clerk

4396
02:04:02,100 --> 02:04:03,100
to the planning and zoning for

4397
02:04:03,100 --> 02:04:05,100
folks that are canvassers or

4398
02:04:05,100 --> 02:04:06,100
peddlers. This has nothing

4399
02:04:06,100 --> 02:04:07,100
to do with political speech or

4400
02:04:07,100 --> 02:04:08,100
religious speech at all. This

4401
02:04:08,100 --> 02:04:10,100
is just

4402
02:04:13,100 --> 02:04:15,100
for commercial purposes.

4403
02:04:15,100 --> 02:04:17,100
>> Thank you very much.

4404
02:04:17,100 --> 02:04:18,100
There're no questions. I need a

4405
02:04:18,100 --> 02:04:19,100

4443

02:05:13,100 --> 02:05:14,100
to the city attorney.

4446
02:05:14,100 --> 02:05:16,100
>> Thank you, Madam Mayor. In

4447
02:05:16,100 --> 02:05:18,100
November of 2024, the City of

4448
02:05:18,100 --> 02:05:20,100
Doral residents made a charter

4449
02:05:20,100 --> 02:05:22,100
amendment opening the

4450
02:05:22,100 --> 02:05:24,100
establishing the office

4451
02:05:24,100 --> 02:05:26,100
of the Inspector General.

4452
02:05:26,100 --> 02:05:28,100
Subsequently, this council

4453
02:05:28,100 --> 02:05:29,100
passed an ordinance creating

4454
02:05:29,100 --> 02:05:31,401
the actual rules and

4455
02:05:37,100 --> 02:05:39,100
responsibilities of the

4456
02:05:39,100 --> 02:05:41,100
Inspector general. There are

4457
02:05:41,100 --> 02:05:43,100
certain sections

4458
02:05:43,100 --> 02:05:45,100
of our code that do not deal

4459
02:05:45,100 --> 02:05:47,401
with the general public

4460
02:05:48,100 --> 02:05:50,100
but really deal

4461
02:05:50,100 --> 02:05:51,100
with the internal functions of

4462
02:05:51,100 --> 02:05:53,100
the council and administration

4463
02:05:53,100 --> 02:05:55,100
as a whole,

4464
02:05:55,100 --> 02:05:57,100
especially chapter two

4465
02:05:57,100 --> 02:05:59,100
for those. There are no set

4466
02:05:59,100 --> 02:06:00,100
violations and there's no set

4467
02:06:00,100 --> 02:06:02,100
force format

4468
02:06:02,100 --> 02:06:04,100
for enforcing those. So, it's

4469
02:06:04,100 --> 02:06:06,100
appropriate that since now we

4470
02:06:06,100 --> 02:06:08,100
will have an inspector general

4471
02:06:08,100 --> 02:06:09,100
that the Inspector general be

4472
02:06:09,100 --> 02:06:11,100
given those authorities

4473
02:06:11,100 --> 02:06:13,100
under chapter 162 to be able to

4474
02:06:13,100 --> 02:06:15,100
act as that code enforcement

4475
02:06:15,100 --> 02:06:16,100
officer for the city. Should

4476
02:06:16,100 --> 02:06:17,100
you receive any notifications

4477
02:06:17,100 --> 02:06:18,100
of citations and investigate

4478
02:06:18,100 --> 02:06:19,100
them and find that a citation

4479
02:06:19,100 --> 02:06:20,100
is warranted, those citations

4480
02:06:20,100 --> 02:06:21,100
that are received may be

4481
02:06:21,100 --> 02:06:22,100
appealed to the Miami Dade

4482
02:06:22,100 --> 02:06:23,100
county court as provided again

4483
02:06:23,100 --> 02:06:24,100
in chapter 162. And that's the

4484
02:06:24,100 --> 02:06:25,100
evidence before you.

4485
02:06:25,100 --> 02:06:26,100

4486
02:06:26,100 --> 02:06:27,100

4540
02:07:37,100 --> 02:07:38,100

4541
02:07:38,100 --> 02:07:39,100

4549
02:07:49,100 --> 02:07:51,100

4559
02:08:06,100 --> 02:08:07,100
think the fines are kind

4560
02:08:07,100 --> 02:08:08,100
of low,

4561
02:08:08,100 --> 02:08:10,401

please approach the podium

4595
02:09:02,100 --> 02:09:03,100

4596
02:09:03,100 --> 02:09:04,100
has chosen to speak

4597
02:09:04,100 --> 02:09:05,100
at this time. We're closing

4598
02:09:05,100 --> 02:09:07,100
public comments. And this is.

4599
02:09:07,100 --> 02:09:08,100
This is my item. So this is

4600
02:09:08,100 --> 02:09:09,100
to amend the rules of procedure

4601
02:09:09,100 --> 02:09:11,100
as we did last time,

4602
02:09:11,100 --> 02:09:12,100
which will just th e efficiency

4603
02:09:12,100 --> 02:09:13,100
of the meeting. So starting

4604
02:09:13,100 --> 02:09:14,100
next month we'll start

4605
02:09:14,100 --> 02:09:16,100
implementing these rules.

4606
02:09:16,100 --> 02:09:17,100
Anybody has any questions?

4607
02:09:17,100 --> 02:09:18,100
There is no changes from first

4608
02:09:18,100 --> 02:09:20,100

4609
02:09:20,100 --> 02:09:21,100

4616
02:09:28,100 --> 02:09:29,100
>> Okay. Councilwoman Cabral.

4617
02:09:29,100 --> 02:09:30,100
>> Well, I know that I have

4618
02:09:30,100 --> 02:09:32,100
expressed

4619
02:09:33,100 --> 02:09:34,100
before that I have a lot

4620
02:09:34,100 --> 02:09:35,100
of concerns

4621
02:09:35,100 --> 02:09:37,100
with these rules. I really,

4622
02:09:37,100 --> 02:09:38,100
I really. My feeling is that

4623
02:09:38,100 --> 02:09:40,100
it's just giving the effect of

4624
02:09:40,100 --> 02:09:41,100
being a strong major when

4625
02:09:41,100 --> 02:09:43,100
that's not the type

4626
02:09:43,100 --> 02:09:45,100
of government that we have.

4627
02:09:45,100 --> 02:09:46,100
Reduced transparency and

4628
02:09:46,100 --> 02:09:47,100
participation,

4629
02:09:47,100 --> 02:09:49,100
limiting council members

4630
02:09:49,100 --> 02:09:50,100
to represent constituents,

4631
02:09:50,100 --> 02:09:51,100
risk violation,

4632
02:09:51,100 --> 02:09:54,100
first amendment and due process

4633
02:09:54,100 --> 02:09:56,100
of protection. And

4634
02:09:56,100 --> 02:09:58,100
like I said, and I know that

4635
02:09:58,100 --> 02:10:00,100
somebody questioned when it

4636
02:10:00,100 --> 02:10:01,100
comes to section 273 and number

4637
02:10:01,100 --> 02:10:03,100
10 that says no member shall

4638
02:10:03,100 --> 02:10:05,100
have regular council leave a

4639
02:10:05,100 --> 02:10:07,100
regular council meeting

4640
02:10:07,100 --> 02:10:09,100
without permission

4641
02:10:09,100 --> 02:10:10,100
from the mayor. Any

4642
02:10:10,100 --> 02:10:11,100
non-permitted exits from

4643
02:10:11,100 --> 02:10:13,401
regular council meeting shall

4644
02:10:14,100 --> 02:10:15,100
result in a non-excused

4645
02:10:15,100 --> 02:10:16,100
Absence. And

4646
02:10:16,100 --> 02:10:19,100
like I said before, I

4647
02:10:19,100 --> 02:10:21,100
understand that maybe you're

4648
02:10:21,100 --> 02:10:23,100
bringing this to yourself,

4649
02:10:23,100 --> 02:10:25,100
because I remember when I was

4650
02:10:25,100 --> 02:10:26,100
here and you were a

4651
02:10:26,100 --> 02:10:28,100
councilwoman, how many times

4652
02:10:28,100 --> 02:10:30,100
you would just stand up without

4653
02:10:30,100 --> 02:10:31,100
not even letting know anybody

4654
02:10:31,100 --> 02:10:33,401
what was going on.

4655
02:10:34,100 --> 02:10:37,100
>> And I know that I said at

4656
02:10:37,100 --> 02:10:38,100
that time that I have here the

4657
02:10:38,100 --> 02:10:39,100
either absence or no presence

4658
02:10:39,100 --> 02:10:41,100
to vote. And I'm going

4659
02:10:41,100 --> 02:10:43,100
to be able

4660
02:10:43,100 --> 02:10:45,100
to share this because

4661
02:10:45,100 --> 02:10:47,100
in my case, I think I just

4662
02:10:47,100 --> 02:10:48,100
have, what, one in almost seven

4663
02:10:48,100 --> 02:10:50,100
years that I've been here.

4664
02:10:50,100 --> 02:10:52,100
Absence without an excuse. And

4665
02:10:52,100 --> 02:10:54,100
there have been other

4666
02:10:54,100 --> 02:10:55,100
with excuse,

4667
02:10:55,100 --> 02:10:57,100
but have not been granted. But

4668
02:10:57,100 --> 02:10:59,100
from 2013 to 2020, because I

4669
02:10:59,100 --> 02:11:00,100
want this to be

4670
02:11:00,100 --> 02:11:02,100
in the record when it comes

4671
02:11:02,100 --> 02:11:03,100
to resolution. Discussion item.

4672
02:11:03,100 --> 02:11:05,100
In 2013, Mayor Fraga had one

4673
02:11:05,100 --> 02:11:06,100
item that she missed. Nine

4674
02:11:06,100 --> 02:11:08,100
consent items, and on 2014 was

4675
02:11:08,100 --> 02:11:10,100
15 consent items that she was

4676
02:11:10,100 --> 02:11:12,100
not present. On 2015, she has

4677
02:11:12,100 --> 02:11:14,100
16 consent items and four local

4678
02:11:14,100 --> 02:11:17,100
planning agencies and six city

4679
02:11:20,100 --> 02:11:22,401
ordinances. On 2016, it was 55

4680
02:11:23,100 --> 02:11:25,100
consent items,

4681
02:11:27,100 --> 02:11:28,100
five local planning agencies,

4682
02:11:28,100 --> 02:11:30,401
and three city ordinances.

4683
02:11:31,100 --> 02:11:33,100
2017, two discussion items, 54

4684
02:11:33,100 --> 02:11:35,100
consent items,

4685
02:11:37,100 --> 02:11:39,401
one local planning agency,

4686
02:11:40,100 --> 02:11:41,100
four city ordinance,

4687
02:11:41,100 --> 02:11:42,100
and one rezoning resolution.

4688
02:11:42,100 --> 02:11:43,100
Then in 2018, one local

4689
02:11:43,100 --> 02:11:45,100
planning agency. Then in

4690
02:11:45,100 --> 02:11:46,100
2019, one discussion item,

4691
02:11:46,100 --> 02:11:48,100
one city ordinance,

4692
02:11:48,100 --> 02:11:49,100
and one rezone resolution. On

4693
02:11:49,100 --> 02:11:51,100
2023 consent items she

4694
02:11:51,100 --> 02:11:52,100
wasn't present,

4695
02:11:52,100 --> 02:11:54,100
two local planning agencies,

4696
02:11:54,100 --> 02:11:55,100
and with a total

4697
02:11:55,100 --> 02:11:58,601
of those eight years of four

4698
02:12:02,100 --> 02:12:04,100
discussion items that she

4699
02:12:04,100 --> 02:12:06,100
missed, 172 consent items, 13

4700
02:12:06,100 --> 02:12:08,100
local planning agencies, 14

4701
02:12:08,100 --> 02:12:09,100
city ordinance,

4702
02:12:09,100 --> 02:12:11,100
and two rezoning resolutions,

4703
02:12:11,100 --> 02:12:14,100
with a total of 205 items that

4704
02:12:14,100 --> 02:12:17,601
you were absent. So, I don't

4705
02:12:19,100 --> 02:12:20,100
think that this is fair because

4706
02:12:20,100 --> 02:12:21,100
we sometimes, like I said,

4707
02:12:21,100 --> 02:12:22,100
we need then permission even

4708
02:12:22,100 --> 02:12:25,100
to excuse ourselves, I guess,

4709
02:12:26,100 --> 02:12:28,100
to go to the bathroom and all

4710
02:12:28,100 --> 02:12:29,100
of that. Like if we are

4711
02:12:29,100 --> 02:12:30,100
in a kindergarten set. And

4712
02:12:30,100 --> 02:12:33,100
there are many different things

4713
02:12:36,100 --> 02:12:38,100
here that I really think that

4714
02:12:38,100 --> 02:12:39,100
is a violation of the First

4715
02:12:39,100 --> 02:12:41,100
Amendment rights

4716
02:12:41,100 --> 02:12:43,100
for me and any other member

4717
02:12:43,100 --> 02:12:44,100

4718
02:12:44,100 --> 02:12:46,100

02:12:53,100 --> 02:12:54,100

4732
02:13:05,100 --> 02:13:07,100

4733
02:13:07,100 --> 02:13:08,100

going to go

4749
02:13:32,100 --> 02:13:33,100

4750
02:13:33,100 --> 02:13:34,100

4753
02:13:40,100 --> 02:13:41,100
First, I just wanted to

4754
02:13:41,100 --> 02:13:43,100
thank my colleagues and also

4755
02:13:43,100 --> 02:13:44,100
our city manager, our chief

4756
02:13:44,100 --> 02:13:45,100

4757
02:13:45,100 --> 02:13:46,100
and everyone that came to the

4758
02:13:46,100 --> 02:13:48,100
Tallahassee trip. It was very

4759
02:13:48,100 --> 02:13:49,100
fruitful and I think that we're

4760
02:13:49,100 --> 02:13:50,100
going to, or at least we're

4761
02:13:50,100 --> 02:13:51,100
on the right track to get the

4762
02:13:51,100 --> 02:13:53,100
funding that we need as well as

4763
02:13:53,100 --> 02:13:55,100
see the legislation that would

4764
02:13:55,100 --> 02:13:59,201
affect us pass. And so I just

4765
02:14:00,100 --> 02:14:02,100
wanted to thank everybody for

4766
02:14:02,100 --> 02:14:04,100
their participation and joining

4767
02:14:04,100 --> 02:14:05,100

4768
02:14:05,100 --> 02:14:07,100
city attorney also participated

4769
02:14:07,100 --> 02:14:08,100
and was present. So thank you

4770
02:14:08,100 --> 02:14:10,100

4771
02:14:10,100 --> 02:14:12,100
to invite everyone to our

4772
02:14:12,100 --> 02:14:14,100

4774
02:14:15,100 --> 02:14:17,100

4775
02:14:17,100 --> 02:14:19,100
It's going

4776
02:14:19,100 --> 02:14:21,100
to be an incredible event.

4777
02:14:21,100 --> 02:14:23,100
We've been very hard work

4778
02:14:23,100 --> 02:14:25,100
planning it, and I wanted

4779
02:14:25,100 --> 02:14:26,100

4780
02:14:26,100 --> 02:14:28,100

to artists and got a lot

4788
02:14:39,100 --> 02:14:41,100
of requests. Also, I wanted

4789
02:14:41,100 --> 02:14:43,100

4802
02:15:01,100 --> 02:15:02,100

4806
02:15:05,100 --> 02:15:07,100
on the 2%

4807
02:15:10,100 --> 02:15:12,100
from the tax collector. Those

4808
02:15:12,100 --> 02:15:14,100
funds are going

4809
02:15:14,100 --> 02:15:15,100
to be well utilized back in our

4810
02:15:15,100 --> 02:15:17,100
community where they should be

4811
02:15:17,100 --> 02:15:19,100
utilized, serving the public.

4812
02:15:19,100 --> 02:15:20,100
So thank you, Fernando, because

presentation to help us

4819
02:15:28,100 --> 02:15:29,100
convince the tax collector

4820
02:15:29,100 --> 02:15:31,100
to back off

4821
02:15:33,100 --> 02:15:35,401
of our tax dollars,

4822
02:15:36,100 --> 02:15:37,100
which we use

4823
02:15:37,100 --> 02:15:38,100
to fund important resources

4824
02:15:38,100 --> 02:15:39,100

to wish everybody a very happy

4828
02:15:44,100 --> 02:15:45,100
Easter this weekend

4829
02:15:45,100 --> 02:15:46,100
with your family and friends.

4830
02:15:46,100 --> 02:15:47,100
May God bless you always and

4831
02:15:47,100 --> 02:15:48,100
your families and our

4832
02:15:48,100 --> 02:15:49,100
community. Thank you

4833
02:15:49,100 --> 02:15:52,100
for being a part of.

4834
02:15:52,100 --> 02:15:53,100
Of the City of Doral. That's

4835
02:15:53,100 --> 02:15:54,100
it. I don't know if I can

4836
02:15:54,100 --> 02:15:55,100
mention. I think I can because

4837
02:15:55,100 --> 02:15:57,100
it's already on our calendars.

4838
02:15:57,100 --> 02:15:59,100
But Doral Central park opening

4839
02:15:59,100 --> 02:16:00,100
will be on May 17, so we'll be

4840
02:16:00,100 --> 02:16:02,100
putting that out very soon.

4841
02:16:02,100 --> 02:16:05,601
And we hope to See our

4842
02:16:07,100 --> 02:16:09,100
community there. But that's the

4843
02:16:09,100 --> 02:16:10,100
tentative date. I think it's

4844
02:16:10,100 --> 02:16:12,100
the finalized date we will have

4845
02:16:12,100 --> 02:16:13,100
for the opening

4846
02:16:13,100 --> 02:16:14,100
of second phase of Doral

4847
02:16:14,100 --> 02:16:15,100
Central Park. So we look

4848
02:16:15,100 --> 02:16:17,100
forward,

4849
02:16:17,100 --> 02:16:18,100
it's been long awaited. We look

4850
02:16:18,100 --> 02:16:20,100
forward

4851
02:16:20,100 --> 02:16:21,100
to seeing you all there. That

4852
02:16:21,100 --> 02:16:22,100
concludes my mayor's report.

4853
02:16:22,100 --> 02:16:24,100
>> Council comments.

4854
02:16:26,100 --> 02:16:27,100
>> All right. Any council

4855
02:16:27,100 --> 02:16:28,100
comments? I do.

4856
02:16:28,100 --> 02:16:29,100
>> Okay.

4857
02:16:29,100 --> 02:16:30,100
>> Councilwoman Reynoso, thank

4858
02:16:30,100 --> 02:16:31,100

>> The Mayor April is Autism

Dade County Fire hosted,

4874
02:17:05,100 --> 02:17:07,100
which was an amazing event.

4875
02:17:07,100 --> 02:17:09,100
Our Doral PD did an amazing job

4876
02:17:09,100 --> 02:17:11,100
also taking care

4877
02:17:11,100 --> 02:17:12,100
of us and putting us

4878
02:17:12,100 --> 02:17:14,100
on the right ride. We also had

4879
02:17:14,100 --> 02:17:15,100
a productive time in

4880
02:17:15,100 --> 02:17:17,100
Tallahassee during day days.

4881
02:17:17,100 --> 02:17:19,100
We spent incredible amount

4882
02:17:19,100 --> 02:17:21,100
of time meeting with our local

4883
02:17:21,100 --> 02:17:22,100
representatives advocating

4884
02:17:22,100 --> 02:17:25,601
for needs that are in Doral.

4885
02:17:27,100 --> 02:17:28,100
>> I want

4886
02:17:28,100 --> 02:17:30,100
to say that they are.

4887
02:17:30,100 --> 02:17:31,100
>> Doing an excellent job up

4888
02:17:31,100 --> 02:17:32,100
there in Tallahassee

4889
02:17:32,100 --> 02:17:34,100
representing our needs,

4890
02:17:35,100 --> 02:17:37,100
especially for our police and

4891
02:17:37,100 --> 02:17:39,100
parks extravaganza was an

4892
02:17:39,100 --> 02:17:41,100
excellent event. Our community

4893
02:17:41,100 --> 02:17:42,100
enjoyed it so much and it was

4894
02:17:42,100 --> 02:17:44,100
great to have it in our

4895
02:17:44,100 --> 02:17:45,100
Central Park. I can't wait

4896
02:17:45,100 --> 02:17:47,100
to see how next year is going

4897
02:17:47,100 --> 02:17:48,100
to look. Our community garden

4898
02:17:48,100 --> 02:17:51,100
grand opening at Doral Parks

4899
02:17:51,100 --> 02:17:52,100
in honor of Earth day on the

4900
02:17:52,100 --> 02:17:54,100
22nd. I hope our community will

4901
02:17:54,100 --> 02:17:56,100
come out there to see the

4902
02:17:56,100 --> 02:17:58,100
garden that has been built

4903
02:17:58,100 --> 02:18:00,100
over the last couple of weeks

4904
02:18:00,100 --> 02:18:02,100
and wishing everybody a happy

4905
02:18:02,100 --> 02:18:04,100
Passover and Easter

4906
02:18:04,100 --> 02:18:06,100
to all those who celebrate it.

4907
02:18:06,100 --> 02:18:08,100
Thank you, Mayor.

4908
02:18:10,100 --> 02:18:11,100
>> Thank you, Council. Any

4909
02:18:11,100 --> 02:18:12,100
other comments? Councilman

4910
02:18:12,100 --> 02:18:14,100
Pinero?

4911
02:18:14,100 --> 02:18:15,100
>> Thank you, Mayor. I also

4912
02:18:15,100 --> 02:18:17,100
want

4913
02:18:17,100 --> 02:18:18,100
to echo what you just mentioned

4914
02:18:18,100 --> 02:18:19,100
about the Tallahassee trip. I

4915
02:18:19,100 --> 02:18:21,100
think that was a very

4916
02:18:21,100 --> 02:18:23,100
productive trip to

4917
02:18:23,100 --> 02:18:24,100
Tallahassee. Very positive

4918
02:18:24,100 --> 02:18:26,100
comments that we heard

4919
02:18:26,100 --> 02:18:28,100
from legislators over there,

4920
02:18:28,100 --> 02:18:30,100
especially our representatives.

4921
02:18:31,100 --> 02:18:32,100
They all happy that the route

4922
02:18:32,100 --> 02:18:34,100
is back

4923
02:18:35,100 --> 02:18:38,100
on track and they look forward

4924
02:18:38,100 --> 02:18:39,100
to have a great year especially

4925
02:18:39,100 --> 02:18:41,100
to help us to continue

4926
02:18:41,100 --> 02:18:42,100
to help us

4927
02:18:42,100 --> 02:18:44,100
in our city. I also want

4928
02:18:44,100 --> 02:18:46,100
to take the chance

4929
02:18:46,100 --> 02:18:47,100
to also recognize and say

4930
02:18:47,100 --> 02:18:49,100
thanks to Miami Dade College

4931
02:18:49,100 --> 02:18:51,100
West Campus. As you know,

4932
02:18:51,100 --> 02:18:52,100
towards the end of March, my

4933
02:18:52,100 --> 02:18:54,100
office hosted a job fair which

4934
02:18:54,100 --> 02:18:56,100
we call Entlerty 2025. We had

4935
02:18:56,100 --> 02:18:58,100
and the Mayor was present too.

4936
02:18:58,100 --> 02:19:00,401
We had over 1000 participants

4937
02:19:05,100 --> 02:19:07,100
with the collaboration of

4938
02:19:07,100 --> 02:19:08,100
over 45 different organizations

4939
02:19:08,100 --> 02:19:10,100
and company, not only local

4940
02:19:10,100 --> 02:19:12,100
companies, but nationwide

4941
02:19:12,100 --> 02:19:13,100
companies as well. And that was

4942
02:19:13,100 --> 02:19:15,100
a great event that we look

4943
02:19:15,100 --> 02:19:17,100
forward to hosting once again

4944
02:19:17,100 --> 02:19:19,100
towards the end

4945
02:19:22,100 --> 02:19:23,100
of this year. I also want

4946
02:19:23,100 --> 02:19:26,100
to thank our Parks department

4947
02:19:26,100 --> 02:19:28,401
because they, as Councilwoman

4948
02:19:31,100 --> 02:19:33,100
Reynoso mentioned, they. I

4949
02:19:33,100 --> 02:19:35,100
think they did a great job

4950
02:19:35,100 --> 02:19:36,100
in the extravaganza event. It

4951
02:19:36,100 --> 02:19:38,100
was huge. It was packed, a lot

4952
02:19:38,100 --> 02:19:40,100
of people. So great job. And I

4953
02:19:40,100 --> 02:19:41,100
also want to thank Parks

4954
02:19:41,100 --> 02:19:42,100
because they and our police

4955
02:19:42,100 --> 02:19:44,100
department because they were

4956
02:19:44,100 --> 02:19:45,100
present at the 5K run event

4957
02:19:45,100 --> 02:19:47,100
that took place this past

4958
02:19:47,100 --> 02:19:48,100
Saturday at Doral Meadow. And

4959
02:19:48,100 --> 02:19:50,100
let me tell you,

4960
02:19:50,100 --> 02:19:51,100
that was close to 2,000 or

4961
02:19:51,100 --> 02:19:53,100
over 2,000 people participated.

4962
02:19:54,100 --> 02:19:55,100
That was amazing. It's the

4963
02:19:55,100 --> 02:19:57,100
first time that we have such a

4964
02:19:57,100 --> 02:19:58,100
large crowd. And I want to

4965
02:19:58,100 --> 02:19:59,100
thank our departments because I

4966
02:19:59,100 --> 02:20:01,100
know everybody was involved.

4967
02:20:01,100 --> 02:20:03,100
And obviously I want

4968
02:20:03,100 --> 02:20:04,100
to thank the organizer, Clan

4969
02:20:04,100 --> 02:20:06,100
Destino, Eduardo Orozco, all

4970
02:20:06,100 --> 02:20:07,100
his team, because they did an

4971
02:20:07,100 --> 02:20:09,100
incredible,

4972
02:20:09,100 --> 02:20:11,100
amazing run and activity

4973
02:20:11,100 --> 02:20:12,100
for everyone that participated.

4974
02:20:12,100 --> 02:20:14,100
So I look forward

4975
02:20:14,100 --> 02:20:16,100
to certainly the opening of

4976
02:20:16,100 --> 02:20:18,100
Grass Central park next month.

4977
02:20:18,100 --> 02:20:19,100
We're all excited. I know next

4978
02:20:19,100 --> 02:20:21,100
month is also Mother's Day.

4979
02:20:21,100 --> 02:20:22,100
We're celebrating Mother's

4980
02:20:22,100 --> 02:20:24,100
Day, and I want

4981
02:20:24,100 --> 02:20:25,100
to thank our city attorney,

4982
02:20:25,100 --> 02:20:28,100
our city staff, for everything

4983
02:20:36,100 --> 02:20:39,601
that you guys keep doing. The

4984
02:20:40,100 --> 02:20:41,100
feedback

4985
02:20:41,100 --> 02:20:43,100
out there is amazing.

4986
02:20:43,100 --> 02:20:45,100
Everybody's happy with the job

4987
02:20:45,100 --> 02:20:46,100
that you guys are doing,

4988
02:20:46,100 --> 02:20:47,100
and we're the face. So want to,

4989
02:20:47,100 --> 02:20:50,100
every time that I have the

4990
02:20:50,100 --> 02:20:51,100
chance, I want

4991
02:20:51,100 --> 02:20:53,401
to say thank you

4992
02:20:54,100 --> 02:20:56,100
to you guys and thank you

4993
02:20:56,100 --> 02:20:57,100
to the city manager,

4994
02:20:57,100 --> 02:20:58,100
because everybody's talking

4995
02:20:58,100 --> 02:20:59,100
about how amazing the city

4996
02:20:59,100 --> 02:21:00,100
manager is,

4997
02:21:00,100 --> 02:21:01,100
and everywhere that we go,

4998
02:21:01,100 --> 02:21:02,100
they just speak highly

4999
02:21:02,100 --> 02:21:03,100
about our city manager. So

5000
02:21:03,100 --> 02:21:04,100
thank you so much.

5001
02:21:04,100 --> 02:21:05,100
>> Thank you, gentlemen. Any

5002
02:21:05,100 --> 02:21:06,100
other comments?

5003
02:21:06,100 --> 02:21:07,100
>> I do. I would like to begin

5004
02:21:07,100 --> 02:21:08,100
by recognizing the recent

5005
02:21:08,100 --> 02:21:09,100
passing of Commissioner

5006
02:21:09,100 --> 02:21:10,100
Manuel Louis from the city of

5007
02:21:10,100 --> 02:21:11,100
Mayan. His dedication and

5008
02:21:11,100 --> 02:21:12,100
service left meaningful impact

5009
02:21:12,100 --> 02:21:13,100
on his community and beyond. I

5010
02:21:13,100 --> 02:21:15,100
had the pleasure to work

5011
02:21:15,100 --> 02:21:17,100
with him

5012
02:21:17,100 --> 02:21:19,100
with some issues that he had

5013
02:21:19,100 --> 02:21:20,100
at one point,

5014
02:21:20,100 --> 02:21:22,100
and my deepest condolence to

5015
02:21:22,100 --> 02:21:24,100
his family and his loved ones

5016
02:21:24,100 --> 02:21:26,100
and all his colleagues and

5017
02:21:26,100 --> 02:21:28,100
staff. I also would like

5018
02:21:28,100 --> 02:21:30,100
to provide a brief update

5019
02:21:30,100 --> 02:21:33,100
on my recent trip to

5020
02:21:33,100 --> 02:21:34,100
Tallahassee. I was able

5021
02:21:34,100 --> 02:21:36,100
to meet with different elected

5022
02:21:36,100 --> 02:21:38,100
officials, local elected

5023
02:21:38,100 --> 02:21:40,100
officials, as well as our state

5024
02:21:40,100 --> 02:21:42,100
legislators. And I had a very

5025
02:21:42,100 --> 02:21:43,100
productive meeting

5026
02:21:43,100 --> 02:21:45,100
with the ones that I met, even

5027
02:21:45,100 --> 02:21:47,100
though there was a tremendous

5028
02:21:47,100 --> 02:21:49,100
effort

5029
02:21:49,100 --> 02:21:50,100
to jeopardize my meeting with

5030
02:21:50,100 --> 02:21:52,100
Mr. Stofski, who is the

5031
02:21:52,100 --> 02:21:54,100
director of the Dutch Tasks.

5032
02:21:54,100 --> 02:21:56,100
But I was able to meet

5033
02:21:56,100 --> 02:21:57,100
with him. We had a very

5034
02:21:57,100 --> 02:21:59,100
productive meeting. So I'm

5035
02:21:59,100 --> 02:22:01,100
thankful that he gave me all

5036
02:22:01,100 --> 02:22:02,100
his time and went

5037
02:22:02,100 --> 02:22:04,100
over a few things

5038
02:22:04,100 --> 02:22:06,100
with me when I was there.

5039
02:22:06,100 --> 02:22:07,100
Unfortunately, my item, as you

5040
02:22:07,100 --> 02:22:08,100
may know, has been removed

5041
02:22:08,100 --> 02:22:10,100
from the agenda.

5042
02:22:12,100 --> 02:22:13,100
But we're going

5043
02:22:13,100 --> 02:22:15,100
to keep working on transparency

5044
02:22:15,100 --> 02:22:17,100
and making sure that things are

5045
02:22:17,100 --> 02:22:19,401
done the right way

5046
02:22:20,100 --> 02:22:22,100
in the city.

5047
02:22:22,100 --> 02:22:24,100
>> Thank you very much. Any

5048
02:22:24,100 --> 02:22:25,100
other comments being none,

5049
02:22:25,100 --> 02:22:26,100
Madam City Manager, it's your

5050
02:22:26,100 --> 02:22:27,100
report.

5051
02:22:27,100 --> 02:22:29,401
>> Thank you, Mayor. Well,

5052
02:22:30,100 --> 02:22:32,100
first of all, I just want

5053
02:22:32,100 --> 02:22:33,100
to let everyone know that City

5054
02:22:33,100 --> 02:22:35,100
hall will be observing the

5055
02:22:35,100 --> 02:22:37,100
Good Friday Holiday.

5056
02:22:37,100 --> 02:22:39,100
For those that observe that,

5057
02:22:39,100 --> 02:22:41,100
and that will be on Friday. We

5058
02:22:41,100 --> 02:22:42,100
will be closing early at noon

5059
02:22:42,100 --> 02:22:44,100
for Good Friday. Also, I wanted

5060
02:22:44,100 --> 02:22:46,100
to update council regarding

5061
02:22:46,100 --> 02:22:47,100
in January, Councilwoman

5062
02:22:47,100 --> 02:22:50,100
Reynoso brought forward an item

5063
02:22:51,100 --> 02:22:53,100
regarding our feasibility study

5064
02:22:53,100 --> 02:22:54,100
to implement a tree protection

5065
02:22:54,100 --> 02:22:55,100
ordinance and permitting

5066
02:22:55,100 --> 02:22:56,100
program. So thank you so much

5067
02:22:56,100 --> 02:22:59,601
to Public Works and to Dulce,

5068
02:23:06,100 --> 02:23:09,100
Carlos and Rita who went out.

5069
02:23:09,100 --> 02:23:10,100
They have requested proposals

5070
02:23:10,100 --> 02:23:12,100
and we now have a proposal.

5071
02:23:12,100 --> 02:23:15,100
They got three quotes. The

5072
02:23:15,100 --> 02:23:16,100
lowest quote was actually by

5073
02:23:16,100 --> 02:23:18,100
New Lease Environment LLC, who

5074
02:23:18,100 --> 02:23:19,100
provided the assessment report

5075
02:23:19,100 --> 02:23:22,601
back in 2019. So they will be

5076
02:23:26,100 --> 02:23:28,100
updating that for us. And I

5077
02:23:28,100 --> 02:23:30,100
will be keeping you guys

5078
02:23:30,100 --> 02:23:31,100
updated once that returns

5079
02:23:31,100 --> 02:23:32,100
regarding this. That's all I

5080
02:23:32,100 --> 02:23:35,100
have. Thank you so much. We did

5081
02:23:35,100 --> 02:23:36,100
have a very productive meetings

5082
02:23:36,100 --> 02:23:38,100
in Tallahassee, and I was happy

5083
02:23:38,100 --> 02:23:39,100
to be there. And I can only say

5084
02:23:39,100 --> 02:23:41,100
that I'm very proud after

5085
02:23:41,100 --> 02:23:43,100
having missed so many years

5086
02:23:43,100 --> 02:23:44,100
in between,

5087
02:23:44,100 --> 02:23:46,100
because I didn't do that in

5088
02:23:46,100 --> 02:23:48,100
Coral Gables. I didn't go up

5089
02:23:48,100 --> 02:23:49,100
to see the respect that

5090
02:23:49,100 --> 02:23:51,100
Dorothy Corral garnishes now

5091
02:23:51,100 --> 02:23:52,100
with the city, with the state

5092
02:23:52,100 --> 02:23:54,100
legislature and how welcomed we

5093
02:23:54,100 --> 02:23:55,100
were, how much we got done on

5094
02:23:55,100 --> 02:23:58,100
the state agency that I

5095
02:23:59,100 --> 02:24:01,100
visited. And I'm very proud of

5096
02:24:01,100 --> 02:24:03,100
that and the job that our

5097
02:24:03,100 --> 02:24:04,100
lobbying firms are doing in

5098
02:24:04,100 --> 02:24:06,100
Tallahassee for us. So, thank

5099
02:24:06,100 --> 02:24:08,000
you so much and that's all.

5100
02:24:08,000 --> 02:24:09,100
>> Thank you, Madam Manager,

5101
02:24:09,100 --> 02:24:11,100
Mr. City Attorney.

5102
02:24:11,100 --> 02:24:13,100
>> The only thing I want us

5103
02:24:13,100 --> 02:24:14,100
to do is echo everything,

5104
02:24:14,100 --> 02:24:15,100

5105
02:24:15,100 --> 02:24:16,100

5106
02:24:16,100 --> 02:24:18,100

5107
02:24:18,100 --> 02:24:19,100
With regards to the trip to

5108
02:24:19,100 --> 02:24:21,100
Tallahassee. I think it was a

5109
02:24:21,100 --> 02:24:22,100
wonderful event. I was truly

5110
02:24:22,100 --> 02:24:23,100
enjoyed being part of Team

5111
02:24:23,100 --> 02:24:25,100

5112
02:24:25,100 --> 02:24:26,100

5113
02:24:26,100 --> 02:24:27,100
representatives and especially

5114
02:24:27,100 --> 02:24:28,100
the meeting that we had

5115
02:24:28,100 --> 02:24:29,100
with the state agency. There's

5116
02:24:29,100 --> 02:24:31,401
great things to come.

5117
02:24:32,100 --> 02:24:33,100
>> Awesome. Thank you, Mr.

5118
02:24:33,100 --> 02:24:34,100
City Attorney and Madam City

5119
02:24:34,100 --> 02:24:36,100

>> The report is attached

5122
02:24:40,100 --> 02:24:42,100
to the backup. W.J. and I did

5123
02:24:42,100 --> 02:24:43,100
not go to Tallahassee.

5124
02:24:43,100 --> 02:24:44,100
>> You were missed.

5125
02:24:44,100 --> 02:24:45,100
>> For the record,

5126
02:24:45,100 --> 02:24:47,100
you were missed.

5127
02:24:47,100 --> 02:24:48,100

5128
02:24:48,100 --> 02:24:49,100

5129
02:24:49,100 --> 02:24:50,100
