Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance led by Councilwoman Pura. I can make a legion to reflect for the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God, individual with liberty and justice for all. Thank you very much. We have the invocation by Ms. Pastrattina Floyd from Dios con nosotros. Good morning. We are here council members and all the residents of the city of the raw. We are really worried about this storm. So we're gonna pray for that and for the new atmosphere that the winds came, when the Lord sent wind, is because he wants to change the atmosphere. And he gave me the word Matthew 1720 and the new international version. The rain came down, the streamed rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house. Yet it did not fall because it had its foundation on the rock. A rock has to be God. God is a rock of the Miami-Dade County. God is the rock of the rock. We beg you God that you blow and blow your wings out of the state of Florida, out of the every part of the continent of America. Please God, help the families in need right now and help all the people to be care and be saved. We know that you're a good God and we know that you are with us and you always save and help the people and you always help us. Please Lord, we need your presence, we need your help in these moment crucial moments. We need you, the family need you and we beg your help and your forgiveness for everything that we've done against you in the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Pastor. I'm also going to ask very quickly that we take a moment of silence in remembrance of October 7th. I know that we're a couple days after, but I did want to do a special remembrance. So if we can all rise and stand for in a moment of silence. Thank you. Okay. We move into the agenda order of business. Madam Clerk, do you want to go first? Yes, Madam Mayor.

Council, please stage your name and address for the record. We will start with Louis Mar. Garza. Louis Margarza homeless. Well, the storm you've all been warned about is here. We have less and more or less 20-ish days for all of you to publicly endorse Trump. You can smell the panic in the air. Take heed to what is now biblically occurring. Interesting that in the prayer she mentioned Matthew 1720, I will mention Matthew 3.3. I shall prepare for the away. Check. Matthew 5.5. The meek shall inherit the earth. Check. And I'll leave you to look up Matthew 7.7. And some of you will be cashing in your Genesis 3.19 card. Remember, reminder, where we go one, we go all.

I notice that there's gonna be a giving of the key of the city from resign, resign, resign given to an individual. See if I can get the name here. I'm going to go to the city to global empowerment mission. That's what got us into trouble to begin with. If you'll recall that mayor Adams gave a key to the city to P. Diddy. And I think we should avoid getting involved with people who have no interest in the city of throughout other than to destroy it and turn it into their own little UN playground and their own little fiefdom and to have each of you, in particular, the mayor say amen to everything. You have been warned for years. Thank you. Next. Sorry. Oh, sorry. Okay, thank you. Anyone else who would like to speak in public comments? Please come up to the podium at this time. Being none.

It's a cultural movement that has been promoting and preserving Colombian handcraft tradition for 15 years already. And now for the first time, they're hosting their international edition here in the city of the Ralph from October 18th through the 20th. And to give you a little bit about the background, because I know we're gonna have a presentation, I believe they're connected as well. And I wanna welcome them as well.

By the way, this is a two days event that is taking here for the first time in our city. There are the ones covering all costs. This is just for us as a city to get involved, to support, and at the same time to help them with the marketing of their, in the fair. But I would let them to go over their presentation and not only to answer any questions, I'm not sure if it's a fair but I would let them to go over their presentation and not only to answer any questions but at the same time to have the support from these council when it comes to the use of the city lobo or any marketing as well.

So a good afternoon, dear major consular and the audience. We will let you send you a Wormis Grading from Nadine Columbia. First of all, we want to thank you for allowing us to be with you today. In this space, we have worked hard to build this dream on today. Thanks to you, it is possible. Let's quick tell you about expert, expert, Tzano is all about. So, expert Tzano has been an event that has established itself as one of the main commercial platforms for the handicraft sector, not only in Colombia but also in Latin America. Esportesano and the memoriam, like the consular or pinnative said, is a cultural movement that has been promoting a preserving Colombia handicraft tradition for 15 years. Last year in 2023, we start to do this international, okay? Espartisanal made here in the first international edition. And this year, Espartisanal will return to Miami in 2024, showcasing the vibrant colors and textures of Colombian handicrafts. The event, the event, it means to connect artisans with new markets and continue to celebrate their traditions and customs for a country. These are all our sponsors and all you that you have to make this event and that's and that's been supporting us to make this possible. That's the end of the gene that is our city, but Colombia and obviously the city overall the major Pacific Praga and the consumer profile donated. Why export is on? We want to stimulate the artisan economy through international commutional relations. That's why we have been made these other boards to make this possible. We also want to promote the artisan as a guardian of ancestral tradition that allowed to the responsible use and care of natural resources. And we want also to preserve and trust me all the culture and all the tradition of Colombia. Colombia is such a diverse country. We have a lot of such beautiful things to show to the world. So we want to start doing this in Miami because Miami and also Doro is a really important place to show the things that Colombia has. You already know that Doralis is a city that has a lot of Colombians living there. So it's important to us to give them the opportunity to participate in an event like this. This event is going to be between 18 and 20 October. We have this piece of data profile. We want to have buyers who are special internationally in their design and decoration, fashion and accessories. Also, we want to follow suit buyers and distributions, managers of restaurants, hotels and other establishments and also the general public interest in culture that is important in the road. So we are going to have three days of threat fair one day for specializing buyers and today for retail sales. We are going to sell handicrafts. Also, we are going to have Colombian astronomy over there. We are going to promote entrepreneurs in Miami. We are going to have a showroom with representative products from the 32 departments of Colombia. So we are going to have handicrafts and the diversity of all the territory of Colombia from the South Amazonas to the North San Andres is less. Also, we are going to bring artisans, real artisans to Miami. We are going to support them to show them Miami and this international market. We are going to bring to any artisans to Colombia, we pay them everything from tickets, hotels and the limitations and everything that they need to show them how they can make like trades and to expand their markets in the United States. So we are going to have also demonstrations of craft man ships with the Artisan's Attorney in the event. Okay, and we are going to have personalized attention for special advice buyers. Okay, this is going to have a lot of impacts because all the economy, all the sales that we are going to do over there is going to be to the hand to the craft and to the artisans. Okay, so they are going to have the impact in their territories. Okay, these territories that from there are are really like in outsides of the cities of the big cities, Bogotámar, Eugene, Caliopa, or Baranquillo, are places really, really far from the cities. So all the economy that we are going to make in this event is going to impact direct in this territory. So this is going to minimize the economy. We are going to support artisans by establishing local national and international commercial connections. Okay. And also we are conserved, we are served, sorry, the artisan serves as a guardian of ancestral techniques that enable the sustainable use and preservation of resources. So we are going to have the, in the total cultural arts center, this is such a beautiful place and it's perfect to have one event like this one. This is like the map that we are going to have is a showroom so we are going to have is a showroom. So we are going to have the contact with the crafts. We are going to have the opportunity to touch them, see them and know the history behind the crafts, okay? So thank you for giving us the opportunity to present this event. And sorry for the mistakes with my English, but we want to thank you really, really thank you because you have been really, really kindness with us. And we are really happy to be in total next week doing this important event that is going to have a lot of impact to all these artisans from Colombia. And we are going to promote all the cultural diversity from our country. Thank you very much. Thank you, Merro. Again, this is just to create the awareness that they're coming for us to hopefully participate, to be present on the 18 Wednesday star. This is not costing anything to the city. They're taking care of all the expenses. And I thought it was going to be a good idea for us to tell everybody that they're coming and at the same time for the city to grow2 for us and electrophysius to get involved somehow either by promoting the event in our social media, but at the same time to offer them their support because once again it's a very good organization to having doing this for 15 years in Colombia. They cover all expenses for everybody that is coming from Medellín. The local government over there of Medellín is involved. Pro Colombia, the general consulate here in Colombia as well. So I want to thank everybody that is involved in this and this export design of fair. Certainly I'll be there. I'm going to be promoting the event as of fair. Certainly I'll be there. I'm going to be promoting the event as well since we have a very large and and support Colombian community here in the city of the routes. So I want to thank you again, Moudo, for the presentation. Thank you. Thank you, Councilman Pignato. Appreciate anybody else have questions? Questions? I've been working with them for months too. I think they're doing a great job and hopefully the community will enjoy this event that's coming to Dorao. We appreciate the organizers who actually some of them live here in Dorao as well. So thank you very much. All right. Any other questions? We move on. All right. The advisory board. Report was removed. Correct. We'll move on to discussion items.

Yes The applicant lithium motors care of Care of golden property development is seeking to redevelop property located at 9,300 northwest 13th street. The site is approximately 8.3 acres and zoned industrial with a future land use category of industrial. Your comp plan and your zoning are consistent. The applicant is requesting site plan approval for an auto dealership. The end user is proposed to be Subaru. Several months ago, if the council recalls, you approved a brownfield designation for the site for remediation, which is currently taking place. The proposed site plan depicts a one-story dealership building totaling 53,481 square feet with auto retail, showroom, and service shop. A zoning workshop was held on April 17th, 2024. There were no comments that derived from the zoning workshop. The site is completely surrounded by industrial zoning and industrial land use, again, compatible with the site. And to the north, south, and east are warehouses and professional offices, and then to the west, we have a retail and a Mazda car dealership, which is also compatible with the proposed site. Here's a rendering of the building, site plan and landscaping, green space. All of your land development requirements have been met. The site is consistent with your setbacks, your lot coverages, open space, specifically with open space. The zoning category only requires 15% open space and the applicant is providing 32%. So that's really nice for a dealership type product. Here are some photos and you'll see the site remediation taking place in these photos, so it'll look much nicer in about two years. And the site plan is in conformance with your COMP plan. It promotes better site design. There's integration of the project more effectively into the surrounding environment. It enhances your property values. It ensures harmonious relationship among buildings for uses and visitors. It protects the health safety and welfare of the residents and the visitors. All traffic concerns have been addressed, and it complies with all of your site planning requirements. No variances are being sought. As such, staff recommends approval the proposed site plan for the Subaru dealership located at 9300 Northwest 13th Street as the proposed development is consistent with your comp plan your land development regulations and meets the site plan evaluation standards pursuant to section 53 184 C3 approval of development plans and land development code. Thank you. Thank you, Michelle. Okay. Is the applicant present? Do they want to make a presentation? I think we're not sure. I see them back there. I just don't know of any representations here with them but are they available online? Is there any questions for the applicant? How about that? No? Okay, then I need a motion. Oh, I'm so sorry. You're sorry. I'm sorry. I need a motion. I'm sorry. Sorry. Public hearing. Let me hope it up to the public at this time. I used to public hearings in the morning. Anyone who would like to speak on this item, please approach the podium. This is item 24-5896. Being none. Okay. We will close the public hearing and if there's been any expert take communication now would be an opportunity to disclose. Okay, being none, Madam Clerk. Motion to approve.

Next item item 11 be first reading ordinance number 202428 a. W. A. D. M. U. Pattern agreement and pattern book to increase the approval residential units from 550 to 880. Remove the 150 hotel rooms, reduce retail use from 47,900 square feet to 30,454 square feet, and increase office use from 340,634 square feet to 346,000 square feet, and provide an effective date. Okay. Before we open up to staff, let me go ahead and do expert-a-communications I'm going to start with the application. I'm going to start with the application. I'm going to start with the application. Before we open up to staff, let me go ahead and do expert communications and public hearing. Any expert communications on this item? Have been contacted by the applicant and will not change my goal. Okay, I also had a meeting with the applicant and it will not affect my decision. Okay, let's open up to public comments for this item. Public hearing is now open for item 24-5897. If you would like to speak, please come up to the podium. I wonder sometimes why we go through months of approving and tweaking and making sure everything is absolutely correct when you approve it. And then you immediately turn around and start piecemeal in it, cherry picking it and modifying it greatly. And in this case, I see that you went from 5, 50 to 880. I mean, that is a huge increase of residential units and I I'm assuming it would have to change the parking and etc. So what is the point of all of you doing this and approving and then making such drastic changes, and for the fact that you all have to cover yourselves by saying, oh, I didn't speak to anybody in this meantime, makes it quite obvious that somebody's money laundering and making things convenient for their pocket, and what you just said is just wrote and redundant, and means absolutely nothing. Justify why you spend our taxpayer money months upon months if not years, approving something, and then just all of a sudden saying, oh, we'll chop off, we'll do this, we'll add this without modifying everything else and without bringing it back to public approval. And that goes for the consent agenda which she should be ashamed of not allowing people to speak on those. Thank you. Thank you very much. Any other public comments on this item? Being none, okay, we will close the public comments and now we'll hear from stuff. Just waiting for the. Yes. The applicant sent from Durau owner LLC is seeking a master development agreement modification and a pattern book amendment for property located alongside the east side of Dressels Dairy Canal at 8715 Northwest 36th Street and 37, 15 Northwest 87th Avenue. Through their request, they're seeking core items. The first is to permit 330 dwelling units in the East neighborhood. The development is split by the East neighborhood and the West neighborhood. In the West neighborhood, there's currently built out 550 units. So that's completely built out. The applicant also seeks to remove the hotel use, which was approved in the original approvals. That totals 150 rooms. The applicant seeks to reduce the retail space for the entire development from 47,900 square feet to 30,452 square feet. And the applicant also requests to increase office space by 5,366, which would make the total 346,000 for office space. I'm sorry. The site is zoned and land used as downtown mixed use. Zoning districts to the north is industrial commercial and also to the south. And then to the east east you have downtown mixed use as well as in the west. The future land use category and the north is downtown mixed use to the south is industrial and then to the east and west are also downtown mixed use. In 2014 the city council approved the master development agreement approved for the East and West neighborhoods pursuant to ordinance 2014-13, and that approval consisted of 550 dwelling units, 150 hotel rooms, 47,900 square feet of retail space, and 340,634 square feet of office space. In May of 2015, there was a modification to the West neighborhood of the total MDA, and it had some minor changes, which included addition of design references for the Derabble of Art entrance plaza, revisions to reflect the approved landscape plan for the West neighborhood streetscape along the Roblovard and additional language referencing 72 surface parking spaces with a 9x0 width. The Dural Gateway East modification, subject of today's presentation, is to permit the additional 330 dwelling units increasing it from 550 to 880, removal of the hotel use, a reduction, totaling 17,448 of retail space, and then of course the increase that I already mentioned to the office space. The request is consistent with the downtown mixed use designation of your comp plan, which permits up to 25 dwelling units per gross acre. However, if the applicant exhibits creative excellence, an additional 10 dwelling units per gross acre may be granted, totaling 35 units per gross acre. across the area. The traffic assessment for the original development again 555 units in the east neighborhood. The request before you today. It's approximately 11 acres at 35 dwelling units per acre with total 385 dwelling units. However, the applicant is only seeking 330 dwelling units. The traffic assessment for the original development, again, 550 units, 150 hotel rooms, almost 48,000 square feet of retail, and a little over 340,000 of office space had a trip cap totaling 1,063 gross PM trips pursuant to the ITE manual 9th edition. So what that means is the original approval was evaluated for residential, office retail, et cetera, and capped the maximum number of trips. So any modification thereafter should not exceed that original cap. And so through this proposal, the estimated trips are 1,015 gross PM trips, which again, doesn't push the threshold over the original approvals. And so what that means is that the proposed request is compatible and consistent with the original plan that was approved in 2014. Access to the development site will be through two means of ingress egress. The first is a signalized full access driveway along Northwest 36th Street at the Northwest 8800 block, and the second will be an unsignalized full access driveway along 87th Avenue at Dural corporate center and Dural Square driveway. Staff requests that the mayor and council approve the proposal's modification to the deraulkiate way development, East neighborhood pattern book, master development agreement and the decoration of restrictions. Thank you. Thank you, Michelle. Would we like to hear from the applicant now, please? Good morning. My name is Tracy Slavins. My address is 3,800 North East First Avenue, sweet 200 Miami Florida 31337. I'm here on behalf of the applicant, Central and Dorelle owner LLC. We agree with staff's recommendations and their presentation was excellent. I have a presentation to show if you'd like to see it today, or if not to keep things brief, I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have. It's up to you. Would you like to go through that? I'm happy to show you some renderings, yes. Okay, if we could bring up the slides. So this is the Daryl Gateway Project. It's the site that's identified by the city bank building and the CVS on the southwest corner of 87th Avenue in Deral Boulevard. And it was a phase development under the DMU standards, subject to a development agreement and a pattern book that was approved as shown in the prior presentation in 2014. And over the last 10 years, a lot has changed. So this is an aerial of the site when the DMU was first approved. There was the Teva Pharmaceutical Site on the West neighborhood, and the East neighborhood had the two office buildings and a sea of surface parking. So when the DMU was originally approved, the concept was basically developed around what was existing in Durral in this area at that time. And you didn't have the shops and residences that developed out of city place and Durral Square. This wasn't really a mixed use neighborhood at the time. So they proposed a little bit of everything in the development program, including the hotel component that complemented, and at that time, the residential, the retail, and the office. Fast forward ten years, and this is a really desirable place for people to live. There's new projects that have been developed and are very successful, and we feel that the addition of residential use, as opposed to hotel use, will truly complement what's developed in your downtown. The, as Michelle walked you through, the changes really are meant to result in no new impacts. So the conversion of office use, I mean, a retail use to office use and hotel use to residential use generates no new PMPG hour traffic trips, which is a great thing for Durali. This is a slide that comes from the pattern book that was approved. So as you can see in the lower corner of the East neighbourhood, there's a lavender triangle. That's the area of development today, and that was what was envisioned originally in 2014, but at the time it was envisioned for hotel. These are some renderings. Just to show you a little bit, we will come back to the Council meeting on October 23rd to show you the full site plan and walk you through all of the details. But today we just wanted to give you an idea of the scale and the scope and location of the development. So the idea is that these apartments will flank the canal and there will be improvements made along the canal to create more open space that's usable. Today it's filled with invasive species of casturina or Australian pine trees and a lot of debris, and the bank is not stable. So we'll stabilize the bank, create a walking path with landscaping that will connect to the bridge over the Dressel-Stairy Canal, and then also the bikeway that runs on the west side of the canal. So it creates a really nice amenity for the community. Here's some labeling so you can see the existing apartments which are known as Amli at Dharal or Amli at 8800 on the west side of the property which is at the lower right and the existing development today on the East neighborhood. So here's a site plan layout which I will get into more detail at the next meeting. And some renderings to show you the concept of the design, which is done in the tropical modern style. And it's intended to be consistent with the pattern and aesthetic of the development throughout the urban central business district along Durral Boulevard. And really create a nice luxury rental option for people who want to live near where they work, where they shop and where they dine. And the residents will have access to the covered parking garage, which is also a really nice amenity. There's an existing garage that will be expanded to have about 1100 parking spaces. And that will help to create a better environment for both the office workers who use it today and the future residents. So with that I conclude my presentation and I'm here for any questions. Okay, thank you very much. Any questions for the applicant? Just a councilman be natal. Hi Tracy. Good morning. I have a question. My concern about this project is actually the. You only have one entrance and X. Right on 87 Avenue. On 87th there are actually two. So the east and west neighborhood connect. And there's a bridge across the canal that was built as part of this development. So there's the signalized intersection on the west side of the canal, and then there's a non-signalized intersection on the East neighborhood. So there are two, and then there are the access points on 87th as well. Thank you, and I made the comment because I know we go back to 2014, but the West neighborhood, the way that it was called before. And for me, that was a terrible approval. Anyway, I think that probably we all agree on that. And the way that was designed, everything. And we always keep hearing about approvals to the west of 87 Avenue or over at the development around the city and around. So, in my main concern is certainly it's traffic on that area. That's why I voted no on the project on 87 and 41st on the Resort project. And this is on the other side. And that will continue to be my main concern. So I don't see a way to go around maybe here in the first reading between first reading and second reading. We can have the conversation, but again, I'm very concerned about that section and especially again that we only have one. We're going to be using just one area to exceed an entrance on 87 Avenue. I mean, that's. Through the mayor, I understood and we will reach out to your office and show you our traffic analysis, which has a lot of very helpful graphics to show the flow of traffic. You know, one of the things to think about here is that this is on, you know, in a neighborhood that's been created by design to foster a pedestrian environment. You know, it's connected to office. It's across the street from retail. There's a trolley station and a bus, a trolley stop and bus stop on 87th Avenue. There's a bikeway, so the idea here, hopefully is that people really do live and work and play in one place. But notwithstanding that is also the reason why we reduced other uses in the development program to make sure that from a vested trips perspective, we're not creating any new traffic. Thank you. Any other questions? I just want to make a comment to five main. Councilman Cavanagh. Thank you so much for bringing that up and answering the question to Councilman Pinedo because when I met with Michelle, that was one of my questions she explained that in detail and also she showed there the traffic how the difference of leaving it the way that it was and what is being now being amended and I think that it will work much, much better for us for our residents and also we talk about the trolley stuff too, to make sure that we have one that it's closed by to the use of the residents that will be living in that area. So thank you for bringing that up. And I have motion to approve. Thank you. Motion to approve by Councilwoman Cabrán is there a second? Second. Second by Vice Mayor Puig Corbe. I do have, second. Second. Second by Vice Mayor Quikorbe. I do have some questions. Tracy very quickly. The increase to the office use by 6000 square feet. Where was that being envisioned? Can you explain that as well? Because I don't. Yes. The understanding building showing shown there. Yes. The concept there was the office that's reflected in the development program is basically the existing office and there is an area of potential development between the city bank building and the CVS. And so that space could be developed with either a freestanding office building, maybe a medical office or some sort of professional office or a retail establishment. And the property owners have been in discussions so far with retail tenants, but they wanted to be able to have the flexibility to do either one. And since there's only so much that fits right there, when you factor in traffic, parking, and the footprint of the building, we were able to accommodate either a little bit more office, about 6,000 square feet, or a standalone retail or restaurant building. Would it be for either or because you reduced retail? We reduced retail because we had extra. Yes. Good more than what was actually required. You haven't built out all the retail at this point. Correct. 17,000 square feet. I think that's enough to retail to be built. Correct. There's a there's an ocean bank I believe it's already come through here. It's on its way So that takes up a little piece of the retail, but it's a pretty small building and then and then what's left would be developed on the East neighborhood in other words my point is you're not looking to make it doesn't seem like you'll be maximizing all potential development rights because you really are out of space. Correct. Okay. I don't necessarily have the concern of what the changes are being proposed. It was always envisioned that that corner was going to have the residential component to be part of that downtown mixed use area. I know that a big portion of it has been built with the idea of that final phase coming through and the changes being made. The current parking garage that's there will be expanded and we did have a discussion and I want to publicly thank the property owners because they I reached out when we had to move the park opening date to see if we could use the parking garage for the park and they were so gracious to allow us to use it so that our trolley wouldn't have to travel very far for people to be able to come to the park opening. So I'm very appreciative to them for allowing our residents to use the parking garage. So in my conversations, I did ask them if they'd be willing to have a memorandum of understanding with the city so that for future uses and the park we could utilize that area for overflow parking with obviously security being addressed and liabilities. And they've been open to that. There is actually an abundance of parking over what they actually need and especially with certain peak times when office spaces are closed. Then there's more parking that is required that the city could potentially use if there's an event going on at the amphitheater or anything like that. So I know that they were working with staff to provide a memorandum of understanding. Are we anywhere closer with that? It is being drafted. I hope to have a draft ready for you. Staff next week to review. Okay. Yeah. Because you're just a couple of blocks from the central park. So there's plenty of parking there that could be used as overflow parking if there is a need at some point. So I thought it was a great offer that they made to say, you know, we're here to work with the community as much as possible. So I appreciate you guys not only stepping up to the play when we asked, but also offering to be good neighbors in the community. Obviously that's an area that the residents will use very much to its walking distance. So the residents that you will have there and are currently living there have access to the park and can walk there. So thank you for having that discussion and for opening it up. Okay. I think we can move forward with. I have a motion to approve ordinance number 20 or 28. I'm first reading by Councilman Cabrero, seconded by Vice Mayor Percorve. Councilman Cabrero, seconded by Vice Mayor Percorbe, Councilman Cabrero. Yes. Vice Mayor Percorbe. Yes. Councilman Borras. Yes. Councilman Pinedo. No. Mayor Fraga. Yes. Motion passes. Thank you. Item C, ordinance number 24 and 429, I'm learning Article 3, Board's Committees and Commissions. And ordinance of the mayor and the City Council of City of Grauford, I'm ending article three, Board's committees and commissions, and chapter two, administration of the city of code of ordinances, establishing, confirming and consolidating advisory boards revising unified policies and procedures for advisory boards providing for implementation and incorporation to the code of serviceability and in effective date. Okay, I'm going to open up to public hearing. The floor is now open to here on item 24-5905. We're more than somebody guards are homeless. God works in mysterious ways. I happen to have the list of the entirety of all the advisory board committees and I'll read them off to everybody because I have been attending them regularly and consistently for the last year, if not more. The Animal Welfare Committee Citizens Audit Advisory Board Commission on the Status of Women Advisory Board, Cultural Affairs Advisory Board, Economic Development Advisory Board, Environmental Advisory Board, Faith and Community Based Organization Advisory Board, Military Advisory Board, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, Police and Traffic Advisory Board, Smart City Advisory Board, Special Needs Advisory Board, Youth Advisory Board, Dorao Parks Bond Oversight Committee. Now here it says that you're going to confirm, consolidate some advisory boards and based upon the item that we just heard with this 550 to 880, that is a development that to me reeks of smart city attempts. And my whole thing is that we have no need for the smart city advisory board here in the city of Dorel. You all are consistently, including giving the keys to that global entity. You are consistently piece by piece, taking away our liberties and cornering us because you have a, the dream downstairs with a bunch of awards from a bunch of made up organizations, green this, green that. And I would hope that each one of you understand and I remind everybody, your phones, totally snitch on you, whether you think they do or not, they can hear you breathe. And what you have done and set up the city of Duraofore to be handed over to our enemies, each one of you will be held accountable, no mercy, no deals, and for all of you behind me. And for the youth, start understanding what they're doing with these committees. And start understanding what it is at each one of you responsible for doing. Now, I know in Doerr-Al, there are many Venezuelans who have absolutely no loyalty to the United States. They've come here because they're running from things in Venezuela, and I have an issue with that. And I would hope that each one of you will stand up and truly say your pledge of allegiance to the restored republic, not to the democracy that you're trying to push on all of us. Thank you. Any other public comments? Being none. Okay, public hearing is now closed and we will turn this over to Councilman Gavralloy think is the sponsor or the attorney. I am. Thank you. I just want to read on the memo. The City of Dural has a little benefit from the input of its advisory committees and board, one that I do serve too. However, after reviewing the current framework, it has become a bit in that updates are necessary to reflect the involving needs of the city and its residents. The amendments in this ordinance are designed to improve operational clarity, accountability, and relevance to today's challenges while ensuring continuous citizen engagement and effective advisory support to the city council. The ordinance introduces several modification aim at enhancing the structure and efficiency of these boards ensuring they better aligned with the current needs of our community. And Mr. Attorney through the chair if you could please explain a little bit on what we work. Madam Mayor Mia. Yes please Thank you, Councilwoman. Thank you, Councilwoman. Thank you, Mayor. What you have before you is just it's a cleanup of your current rules. First it creates a sunset provision and provides that each committee every two years. There is a sunset and you can review and see if the board is active, see if the board is achieving its mission and if not, you may sunset that board at that time and provides for that standard review. Moving along, it also provides for that interested persons that want to attend the committee must attend two meetings, must be persons that are qualified and must be persons that are have not committed a prior act of felonying or an act of moral turpitude. Further, it just clarifies that all of these rules apply to both advisory boards committee and commissions. It also provides later on as far as membership limitations, specifically that members of the boards or committees cannot abuse of their role as a committee member or promote themselves as an employee or official of the city. So those are basically the changes in a nutshell. Thank you, Councillor Wilhelm, for bringing this and thank you to the clerk for assisting me in preparing this. Thank you both. Madam Mayor. Yes, Councilwoman Fortress. I have a quick question. I like a lot of the changes, including the prohibition on allowing individuals with criminal history from serving, as well as from benefiting from their position. My question is this is going to apply prospectively, right? Because some of the provisions are with timelines and all that. Correct. Correct. It's the as far as the effective date would be if you all adopt this today and then moving forward, these would be the rules. Okay. Motion to approve. Okay. Motion to approve by Council Member Pura, second by Vice Mayor Puy Corvay. Any other comments? Questions? Okay. I do have a few. All right. So regarding the provision under Section 2-166, which is compensation and eligibility, I do have a problem with C, E, and F. First of all, we're asking them interested applicants to attend a minimum of two advisory board meetings before they're actually appointed to it. I think it's, it's cumbersome at the end of the day, these are volunteers from our community many times. When there's a change in the governing body, those members tend to change. And so to ask them to come to two meetings before some may do it. However, I don't think that's something that should be a requirement unless we're really just looking for our constituency to not participate in these advisory boards. I think that it's a great opportunity for residents to get involved. However, some may get involved out of simply a request saying, look, I'd like you to be a part of this. And they have an opportunity to serve that way. We don't even, we don't require these things of people running for office. I think it's ridiculous that we're requiring it of residents of our community. You know, items C, we don't ask people who are running for office to come and sit in two of our council meetings before they run for office. I know people will never step foot into this building until they decided to run for office. E, another one. Individuals that have been convicted of a misdemeanor or a crime involving more pertur- pertur- pertur- or felony shall not be allowed to serve on advisory board. My question is, are we gonna be doing background checks now? And what is- Are we- what are we- Is convicted actually a closed crime that the case is closed? Is it something pending? How are we going to judge this? And who's responsible for looking at that? Are we now going to be doing background checks on every single person that we ask to serve on a board? So the idea can be solved in two different ways. First of all, conviction is conviction is not being charged. Anybody can be charged with a crime conviction means that you've already gone through a trial and you've been convicted. So it could be a pending matter. And it's not, it wouldn't spawn to this. It would be a finalized matter. You've already been found guilty of a misdemeanor or a felony. or had some type of issue in your background, it would not fall. It would not be subject to this provision. Correct, man, a matter. And now there's two ways that you can do it. One is, you could have a background check certainly. The other way that I think is more practical is that at the time of application of the person sign an oath that they have not been found convicted of any of these crimes. And if they sign that oath, then we take them at their word. So we're leaving it to their morality? Correct. Well, OK. I'm asking questions right now. Yeah, Councilman, thank you. So I mean, I think that would be the more practical if they sign an oath, and they claim that they don't have not committed any crime of which they've been convicted of that fall into this category, then they can serve. OK, so we're just going to ask them to basically sign an affidavit. Saying that we have no, they have no prior history of convicted. Correct. That could be one way that you could do it, or you could take it to the next level and do a background check. Certainly, if it's a committee that's dealing with vulnerable adults or children, I would suggest a background check. I will put more questions. We don't necessarily have that. So that leads to my next question that I had regarding these requirements. Does this fall also for the parks and police for kids advisory board? The clerk is nodding your head. That's a five one, three. That's not enough. So these requirements would not be extended to the parks. Unless you all wish to. Unless you all wish to. If you all wish to, that is a separate entity. It is within our city, but it's a separate entity. I think yes. If you're going to extend requirements beyond a scope for people who are serving in a volunteer capacity, I think it's consistency, it's consistency, it's to be fair across the board. So I think it would need to be required of all members of boards, which leads me to the last section, section two-one, two-seven membership limitations in section C, advisory board committee commissions, members shall not have any identifying apparel, business cards, name tags, et cetera, as they are not otherwise official employees of the city and cannot officially represent the city. Our parks and police advisory boards do have shirts. So what I would say for this item is if it's here, it should say subject to city approval or if otherwise the city council would allow them to have for certain events and the same goes for section 2-132 advisory board reports and events section B I know advisory board can have an event or perform any additional duties outside of what the advisory board meets on without coming to this council. I think limiting them by by a by an ordinance saying you cannot have any more than one event a year. It not only limits them and it limits us and at the end we work for them not the other way around because they are our constituents. So I would not want to limit them to saying, you can only ask for one event a year. Let them come up with all the ideas they have, our youth advisory board. If they want to do a, if they want to do, you know, their college fair, and they want to do an educational budget session for our youth. And they want to do a talent show. Let them have to come up to us and ask us, and then we decide what we want to approve or not. But I think limiting them to say you can only ask for one event a year, it's really counterintuitive to what the boards are supposed to do, which has come up with suggestions for the council to provide better services We counter to it to what the boards are supposed to do, which has come up with suggestions for the council to provide better services to the community. They're doing it on a volunteer basis, but I think we're starting to forget who we work for. So, I'm not in favor of this changes unless we make some changes to these items because otherwise to me the boards are insignificant and we're not valuing the time, effort and volunteer hours that are put in by our residents and that's sad. If I may. Yes would you like to accept some of my amendments? No I don't have your amendments. First of all I don't understand why to say that you're always against for us to make sure that the people that are related to the city have, we just wanted to make sure that they are not have any issues with the law. Oh, me too. No, no, no, it seems that you're not. So because you just expressed it here, and you're interrupting me, it's too. So the other thing is that even the parent teacher associations in the PTA, you have to go through that you have to do a background check only for you to serve in the schools because we're around kids. So some of these boards, when they do events, there we have families, we have kids. So I think that is important for us that whoever's going to be there, they just find a sign our feet, David. I don't see what they harm on that. So the second one, it comes to the events. If they want to do other events, sure, they can come, they can apply and it comes to the council like everything else and we approve it. What was the other thing that you talk about? About that? About the events? And also, I think that the only thing that you talk about, about that, about the events and the also. I think that the only thing is that maybe to the parking police for kids with an extended, as well so they can have the, they will sign the affidavit because they are with kids. So that we can add that Mr. Attorney, so they can also, because they are around kids. So that I think that we can add that. But as I from that I keep my resolution the end amendments that that we propose the way that it was. Okay just to follow up. So you're saying you are accepting my amendment item B for section 2-132. Only to add to the boards, even if it is a 5-1-C3 like parking police for kids, to have the, to sign the affidavit. But you just said that you don't mind that they bring up the items to us. Your changes to the supportments. For events. No, for events, they can have one event. and if they want any, then they will have to apply like everybody else. That's not what this is saying. This is saying that they shall not request to organize more than one event in a given year. They have the, so let's look into them, Mr. Tranny. the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of Instead of shout, it's a may not request more than one event per fiscal year unless consent from the council is. Yeah, is approved. I'm going to go to the next one. Through the mayor. Yes, Councilmember. Okay. Since I'm the maker of the motion, I just wanted to come back to what I made, what I moved. And so one, I do agree perhaps maybe reducing the attendance to one because they meet every four or every quarter. Yeah. If they were meeting every month, I think it'd be different. But maybe if you're fine, reducing it to attending once Before being able to serve. I do agree that People that want to run for office should be attending our council meetings and in fact We have a candidate that's been attending all of them since 2022 here to I do believe that for our Police citizens academy, we do background check, right? Yeah, we do, we do. Yeah, so if we're going to have, yeah, we do. So if we're going to have individuals serving for the city, even if it's in a volunteer capacity, I think that we should be checking their background. And I do wanna keep people that have certain criminal history from representing the city quite honestly. And so I think signing an affidavit that they don't have any convictions, I think is a good way. And obviously if we find out that they do, they would be immediately removed. So maybe adding that language in there. If you guys need, you know, if you want to take it further and do a background check, fine, but I think it's enough. It's sufficient to have them under oath stating that they don't have a criminal conviction if they do well would say reduce the attendance to one. Add that they should sign the affidavit. And if we get information otherwise, then they would be removed immediately. And applying the limitation to the P.P. for a keyboard. And which one was the other one? Oh, and then the events coming, anything outside of one event, it just come to council for approval. And those are the, I think I have all the ones that were mentioned. And I will amend my motion to state that. Second that too. May. Councillor McAvatt. I'm sorry. There was one change also that you all discussed that I thought was important. Some of the or you mentioned this one committee does have official t-shirts. We're talking about section 2-127-C unless otherwise approved by the city. I would keep it as that. Unless otherwise approved by the city. At that. Correct. Yeah. The reason that for them to attend to the to a list. To of the meetings is for them to have an idea. And many people will come in, then they sit down and then they realize, you know what? I didn't expect that this was like this. I don't want to be part of this and then they don't get to get. I do understand. I mean, we can do one because, but the reason of that is so they can have an idea. And then they are not, they will not have forum in order to, for them to keep moving. Wait, I think we're talking about two different things, right? So the, I thought there were two, that's the reason of them to attend to the meeting. No, they're, I'm sorry, just to clarify. So there's one section that says, before you become a member to attend. So there's one section that says before you become a member to attend. So that's one. And then the other one is once you're a member, absolutely. That's not changing that one. No, I'm not changing that one. It's just the one before I just remember. The one before they become members to attend one instead of two. Does that make sense? Yeah. Okay. Well, I made a motion and I think it's seconded. So can we call the question? Motion to approve. Ordinance number 202429 on first reading as amended to include attending one board meeting before applying at affidavit to fill for each member to fill out an affidavit and should the affidavit be violated the member will be immediately removed applying the same limitations to the parks and parks and places. at Affidavit, for each member to fill out an affidavit and should the affidavit be violated, the member will be immediately removed, applying the same limitations to the Parks and Police for Kids Foundation, and anything outside of one event requested by the board, it will have to come to Council for approval as well as the identifying a pair of requires approval by the city. May I counsel my poor second? I'd buy a basement for Corvay. Is that all right? Okay, Councilman poras. Yes, vice mayor poor Corve. Yes councilman Cabral. Yes, Councilman Pinato. No mayor Fraga. Nope motion passes Next item item D Ordnance number 202430, human trafficking signs, and ordnance of the Mayor and the City Council of the City of Dural, Florida approving slash 9 a text on the midst of chapter 80 sign or relations by curating article seven title, human trafficking signs, providing for incorporation of recitals, providing for survivability, providing for conflicts and incorporation into the code and an effective date. Okay, I'm gonna open up to public hearing. We are now opening up the floor for item 24-5925. I do have one common card. So we're going to call this person up first. Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera, former council member. Welcome. Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera, former vice mayor, 4743 Northwest, 97th place, to Ralph Florida, 3 through 178. Well, thank you so much. I'm very excited to be here, haven't been here for quite a while. And I would like to congratulate all of you and gentlemen, I have not met you, nice meeting all of you. I am here today to talk concerning the human trafficking. As you know, Ordinance 2414, Dash 27 was passed concerning human trafficking. At that time, we worked very hard and two human trafficking centers right here in Darau were closed down. As some of you know, I went back to school, blue or not, and I obtained a master's in human rights. And I contacted Councilman Pignato because I wanted to showcase to San Thomas University what a great job the city of Dural did because at that time we had not passed ordinances concerning human rights I mean concerning human trafficking in that way through the state of Florida. But I found out that part of that ordinance, which was to put businesses, signage and businesses, concerning human trafficking, was not being applied after speaking with code enforcement here of the City of Duraal. So I am very happy to know that an ordinance will hopefully be passed concerning this because the National Missing Children's Network reported in the year 2022 that 88 million calls had come in for human trafficking that were children, which is something horrible. And this is something that is happening all over our country. So again, thank you, Councilman Raffaipignato for this, Mayor and Council, and I do hope that this ordinance will be passed, and we will again be an example of supporting our community against human trafficking. Thank you very much. Thank you. Any other public comments at this time regarding this item? Yes, Lumeau-Zabedi-Garza. So if I'm to understand, or it's code enforcement going to force all businesses or residences to put up human trafficking signs with a phone number instead of saying call this or whatever, if that's my understanding, I would like to know that you approved earlier item 10B and C, which involved a fashion show and then a misteen derailleur event, which ties in just perfectly with this human trafficking, because as we all know, many events are disguised as beauty events, if you'll recall John Benet Ramsey, to be something of benefit to help the young girls, et cetera. And I think you're kind of shooting yourselves in the foot. And you had just been speaking about making sure that people do not have criminal records if they're going to join our advisory board committees. However I'd like to know if you've checked the records of the individuals who own Thaler in action talent, which is owned by Lakeside films, which is owned by Raul Burnet, Nelfri Taktuk and Oscar Balloro. Have you checked to see if they have a criminal record, whether here in the US or country of origin? I would hope he would be diligent with people who come in to try to make beauty events for our young and vulnerable and impressionable young girls and boys, and then you try to patch it up by having human trafficking signs go around. You donated 10,000 to the other event. I would hope, just if I can get a dig in, that you would also look in considering to help being homeless people with that amount of money too. Thank you. Anyone else like to speak on public comments regarding this item? These approach to podium at this time. Otherwise, the floor is now closed. Okay, Councilman Bignare, this is your item. Thank you Mayor. These are the agencies in support of human traffic and in public awareness. First of all, I want to say thank you to former councilwoman and former vice mayor, Bettina, Drola Dugas, like data for being here and for being a champion in this matter. I do recall in 2014 when these ordinance was passed and it was thanks to you. So it was the first ordinance related to human traffic in the city of the rounds. So when we had this conversation, we thought that it was not only needed to bring it back, to update it, but at the same time, I know we also have a brief discussion in the two months ago Council meeting, two three months ago during the Council meeting about it. And it's not only the fact that we're including a new ordinance in support of human traffic in public awareness, but at the same time we're going to be looking at other ways where we can increase the, provides the services through the police department as well, at least for people to be aware and where they can contact, who they can contact or where the resources that we offer as a city in general. As you know, human trafficking is a form of modern day slavery, which involve the exploitation of person for commercial sex or forced labor, and often subject victims to force, fraud and coercion. Well, many victims are human trafficking and are forced to work in prostitution or the sexual entertainment industry. Trafficking also occurs in forms of lab or exploitation, and that happens in restaurants, happening in many places. So you. And that happens in restaurants, happening in many places. So you also recall the state of Florida just recently approved new laws when it comes to human trafficking and public awareness. And Florida low-outerized municipality to enforce posting of human trafficking public awareness signs in certain establishments. the placement of these signs assist victims in accessing local resources and assist low enforcement as well to identify locations where human traffic in could be occurring. So I ask my colleagues to join me supporting these ordinance in order to not only keep creating the awareness but at the same time tackling such an issue that sometimes we don't talk about it but unfortunately is occurring and more now more than ever not only stay wide but country around the country as well. So I hope that we can move forward and approve these ordinance. Thank you, Councilman. Thank you. Any other questions? Yes, Councilwoman Porras. I think this is a great ordinance. Motion to approve.

This was approved on first reading on September 11th. All right, Mr. City, any changes from first to second reading? I think there was.

Updates coming out. Thank you very much for keeping us informed and they're also keeping the residents informed. Public affairs as well, I should say. And of course, the Sandbag Distributions, the Sand for Residents, as well as Businesses. Public Works has been very responsive, so thank you very much to you, Mr. Manager, Deputy City Manager, as well as the Assistant City Manager, and Police Chief and everyone on the field. Thank you very much. Luckily, we have not had rain the last couple of days. So I think that helps us for what we anticipate to have starting this evening. Just to remind everybody to stay safe and adhere to any recommendations. And I also wanted to quickly congratulate the Drow Police Department for their accreditation and the audit that they went through by the Commission for Florida Accreditation, CFA, the DPD achieved an accredited status of 100% compliance and zero deficiencies, which is incredible and deserves a round of applause. So that is just speaks to the testament to the leadership, not just at the police department, but from the administration. So thank you, and I know that accreditation is very intense, and you go through a very intense audit. So we're very proud that there was 100 percent compliance and zero deficiencies. Thank you very much for all the work you do in our community on behalf of the residents of D'Arao. And that's pretty much it. I think everything else was said. Thank you, Parks Department for the D'Arao 5K. And also this month is breast cancer awareness month. I don't believe I had seen the building turn pink yet. I meant to say that also. If we can just check on that I think I will look into that mayor I will certainly look into that. Purple purple pink purple yes all the same you know the shade. Okay so if we could just look into that I was here the other day and I didn't see it so thank you very much for all your work and we'll move on to Council comments. Through the mayor?

And I know that the residents are seeing it and they're extremely happy with that. So thank you every department here. I also want to congratulate the police department on their accreditation. Congratulations. You guys are amazing. Keep up the great work. And also, we just approved the re-opener cola, which is also a great victory for all of us here to be able to support our police department and hoping that everyone stays safe and dry during this time. And again, reach out to us if you need anything. And also just to honor all of those that have gone through breast cancer, domestic violence for this month, making sure that we are promoting awareness and also staying vigilant. Thank you. All right any other counts comments? Being men? Comments on being NATO? Thank you Mayor. I also want to say thanks to the not only the administration, but our public works department, our police department for the last two, three days. As the city manager stated in one of the emails, I think that regardless of what happens, this, which again, then, then, God, that we're certainly we're not going to feel the impact as our neighbors in central Florida which by the way let's keep in this keep in our prayers because it's going to be very very bad in that area. These certainly serve as a training of what we can do as a city when when a storm or weather conditions like the one that potentially will be facing can happening in the area and the response has been has been great from the administration, all the departments not only public works but the police department as well but each of the staff that is part of the the city has demonstrated what how ready we are as a as a city when it comes to the staff of storms I think the last time that we had to go through a similar exercise was back in 2017 maybe 2019 and but again the response has been amazing so one of the things the city manager they put the city manager for keeping us updated on a regular I'm just going to be looking at the building. I'm going to be looking at the building. I'm going to be looking at the building. I'm going to be looking at the building. I'm going to be looking at the building. I'm going to be looking at the building. I'm going to be looking at the building. So I certainly believe this month's serve as a as a reminder of the importance of early detection and not only that but to also honor the ones that not only the ones that we have lost but the people are right now facing this terrible this is so once again thanks to the administration thanks to the police department probably works everybody stay safe hopefully Friday we get back to normal and keep everybody in central Florida that were in their prayers thank you thank you councilman if i may i also want to irradiate what majority has said to the departments thank you so much for everything that you've been doing during these days I also want to irradiate what majority has said to the department.
