“I am, thank you. I just want to read on the memo. The city of Doral has a long benefit from the input of its advisory committees and board, one that I used to serve too. However, after reviewing the current framework, it has become evident 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…”

“No, I don't accept your amendments. First of all, I don't understand why they 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 too. So the other thing is that even the parent-teacher associations and 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…”

“The reason that for them to attend to at least two 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 quorum in order for them to keep moving.”

“If I may, I also want to irradiate what Majority has said to the department. Thank you so much for everything that you've been doing during these days and hopefully we will not have to face nothing that what is being faced on the area of the Panhandle. I also wanted to share with you that unfortunately some of my members live in that area and one already have lost all her belongings, but we got together as a family and we're working helping her as well also to my cousin former mayor of Sarasota now Commissioner that I know that he's working overtime on making sure that his city is safe on…”

“I'm not saying that you're having that. I just want to be in the record that that was the words and what I actually transpired at the time that I met with all of you, actually. So by that being said, I, my, where I stand is that I think that we should still have the conversation with the county. And sure, we have to put dates that the meetings should be proceed. And based on that, then definitely we should then to push them to go and have the resolution floor is actually 164. Okay.”

“may i please please no the conversation that i have with you is that i told you that there were seven different departments that need to be looked at and one of that it was the administration one because no one except the past uh manager had two assistant so we need to really look into our budget to be reasonable and for us to look into the different areas that we need to cut costs and expenses, in your case, you have two assistants, so we have to make adjustments. So that was what I expressed to you, not just with this department, but with different departments that need to be looked at.…”

“No, sir. And that's really insulting. And I don't think that that's your right to be doing that right now because we are and you're out of order. First of all, you're out of order. And this this we're coming right now because of what the accusation that you're giving and what you're writing here in your resignation. I do accept your resignation, but I don't accept that we give you 90 days. I think that the way that you're behaving. We were here just in a very unprofessional way. We were here, like the councilwoman said, just to go over an evaluation and see how we can improve and how we can…”

“Any other questions? Well, I just want to say that thank you for bringing that up, Councilwoman Porras, because I was going to comment something about the in-kind, because the amount of the in-kind really represents almost two full-year salary of one of our full-time employees in the park. So I was going to make a comment, but now that I know that you, Colleen, are going to be doing the contribution to the city, then I will be flexible when it comes to the contribution that you're requesting.”

“Yes, thank you. So I think that it just speaks by itself for us to be able to include and to define the role of the city council in supporting department-led initiative at events and ensuring the participation and recognition is distributed fairly across all city office. Our city attorney worked with me within this item. I don't know if you would like to add something to the...”

“Perfect. No, thank you so much. So I think that this is just a fairness and to be able to be to ensure that the involvement will be for all city members and to have established clear guidance. So this will help also the Department of Public Affairs. them to understand how is it the protocol has to be proceed. So I hope I will have support of my council members on this item. Is there any questions through the mayor?”

“I just have a comment. Councilwoman Cabrera? No, the only thing that I actually, when I saw that we have it in the agenda and I went and I was reviewing it, this is very helpful now that we're working on the budget process so we can go over and be able to take this, also help us to understand even more how we should make the changes, any amendment or any recommendation when it comes to the budget. So this is great that it's presented now before we have our workshop and also at a time that we're going to have our meeting on the budget. So thank you for that.”

“Thank you, Councilman. Through the mayor? Yes, Councilman Cabral. Thank you, Councilman Pineda, for bringing this up. I do agree with you when it comes to all the mental health and all of that, because me doing research for so many years, I can tell you that until the brain has not matured within days, the age of 24, 25 years old, something that has been shown in the research, it can lead into the mention, all of that. But I think that this is something that is going to be in the ballot, and now in November, like you mentioned, and I think that we should, my position is that we should wait…”

“I have one last comment. I do agree that we can also work with different institutions to do workshops later on to, like you were saying, to educate. I think that that will be much more effective for the residents, for them to understand that we can bring scientists, we can bring people that are expert in the medical field when it comes to neurocognitive and all of that, so they will be able to explain not just something that it is just here in the body, but like you said, to be able to educate our youth in how this can affect them later on. Like I said, the research has been there that has…”

“I have a comment regarding this. I mean, when I research a little bit about this institution, my concern is that they, I haven't seen that they might be able to understand the culture of the community and that's something key because they're going to be making many, they're going to be working with our public affairs department. So that was something that for me was questionable also, that I didn't see that they have done many other things, but with other visions compared to the culture of our city.”
