“Yeah, so Commissioner Regalado, I agree, I can't stand it. All offenses in my district, I don't know if it's an unincorporated thing or it happens everywhere. Everywhere. It's ridiculous. So that was something that I actually discussed with the attorneys to add in here. Purposely left it out to have it as a matter of policy of this board if it gets approved by the voters. So as a matter of policy, this board, this is just to open up so that the advertisement could exist. Really the intent is digital. is not banners. I don't want full of banners. It irks me, but I want it to be a matter of…”

“I mean, look, again, it was part of something I discussed with the attorneys, and then we opted to take it out. I'm not entirely opposed to it. I don't want to limit something that i certainly want to limit a thousand banners on the fence that i do want to limit but i i don't want to limit the put the potential of one banner or two banners at a baseball field if they're sponsoring a game or something like that for that so that by putting it in the charter i think it it kind of prohibits us from that type of policy i'm with you on the intent of what you're saying i just don't know that we want…”

“I'm fine with that. That'll be a friendly amendment. Listen, I don't want banners at all. I mean, I would still like, so I guess here's the question, if we do that, Can we still, as a matter of policy of this board, come back later and say, we don't want any banners on fences at all? Can we go stricter than the charter amendment?”

“And I would, I would, I'm going to go, I'm going to get there. So, look, I respect that commissioner. I understand. Look, this is, this is very simple for me. I'm trying to, I thought of this to come up with revenue sources in a time when obviously property taxes are being reformed. And it's a talk of the town county parks will be probably 1 of the high highest most. Impacted departments in our county and obviously it's so important to our community. And it's funny you said that because 1 of the points you said, because. I actually the original form and I amended it in committee. The original…”

“Thank you, Commissioner. And the intent is actually, in fact, to have digital signs is the intent. But it's not the issue that you're having. It's not the big billboards at all. It's more like the kiosks that you see in Coral Gables and Brickle, little small kiosks throughout the park that actually serve multipurpose. It's not just an advertisement mechanism. That will be the revenue generator. but it also has access for you to dial 911 or emergency service, shall your phone run out of battery. You can actually charge your phone in some of them. It kind of tells you like you're standing here…”
