City Commission - workshop

He spoke on my behalf, but I am Vice Mayor Kelly.

Thank you, Mr. Gregory Gay. Commissioner Louis B. Santiago, and I believe that I'm the sponsor of this amendment, these changes that the ordinance had before. And I want to make it loud and clear here in front of my colleagues and in front of these residents, they keep the time today to come here and to really know, okay, what is going on with all this. And we have a couple of points. Yeah, she's going to translate it to me in English because I'm going to explain it there in Spanish. Welcome to all of you. Yo he mirado lo que se trajo ahora en el segundo... Con permiso.

¿Seguimos? Sí. Con todo el respeto que ustedes se merecen, creo que... With all due respect, I believe that they deserve.

Hay algo que yo estoy mirando que no fue lo que se habló hace meses atrás y desde el principio que hemos estado tratando de cambiar esta legislación.

Yeah. Mr. Gay, in your department, you bring now and you bring into what are we calling this again? That type of your side plans.

I don't know if everybody have it with you. My colleague Commissioner Irving brought a good point a good point about this. There are people that do have space behind their house. Y habíamos quedado que sí, en aquel entonces, que se le iba a permitir.

Y hoy en día traemos algo que es lo contrario, y en el lenguaje...

In the verbiage that this legislation brings, it does speak of what we spoke about before. Okay. Now, Mr. Gates, I know and I remember that we've been talking about this a long time ago for a couple of times in my office and even in the first workshop that we have. And we have case people that they cannot parking in the side of the RV because they have all the things they are parking and they have in the space in back of the house.

I believe that we know that we're going to create the sticker that you showed a few minutes ago. And if somebody has that recreation truck parking in the back of the house,

Se le iba a permitir. They're going to permit it to doing it. always, if they follow the rules and regulations that we already write in here, that that truck has to be on top of concrete or other material.

This is not for rent. This is only for parking at your home. Because the first time the legislation spoke of putting our vehicles elsewhere and paying rent for them, and I believe that is an injustice. Y ahora, pues estamos acá con esto, gracias a Dios, pero también queremos que se cumpla todo lo que se acordó con todos nosotros.

And for ending this conversation, Mr. Gates, I love to, you know, to make reviews about that. And yes, I always tell you, you know, everybody had to follow rules and regulations that the city of Opa-locka put in place. That's the motivation that we had to make our city more organized and beautiful. But also, Mr. Gates, we already talking about that before and I want to take note of that because I know that we have some people that they have that RV parking already in the back of the house, and they don't use it for renting. They have access to go out, but they're using the driveway for anythin

Okay, that sticker. That sticker had to be in front of the house.

I really don't have a question. I want to just make clear in the Legislation Ordinance on the number 3, it talks about side yard, improved driveway, or other lawfully paved parking surface. That is the caption that would capture the fact of being in the back, even though you prefer it on the side. It's actually captured in the legislation. Then you just added the fact you will have a decal opportunity in the front so code would notice it. I want to hear from the community. I want to hear from those impacted.

Yeah, Mr. Gay, what are we calling that stone? We're calling gravity? Again? Okay. All right. Let me say this, okay? Okay. And any of them, any liquor for any trucks or cars or buses, whatever we're parking, that thing is penetrating to the ground, on the ground, no matter what. It's a very strong chemical. Okay, with that, what I tried to explain in something that we had to see in the future, Mr. Gay, they have a lot of type of RV. When engine, the motor that you're driving it, and the other one that they pull it. You see the difference? If they parking one in gravel, And the storm, okay, it

I'm going to say it in Spanish for you to understand. The vehicle that doesn't have a motor, I would prefer it. That doesn't throw any liquid, no gasoline, nothing. And it does the planet good. You're going to say it in English? You want me to say it in English? You did. Oh, okay.
