“Ma'am, no. Sorry. No, no. Thank you. It's hard. You were reading your two minutes, but It was actually very nice for all of you that are here at Public Comment to hear that not only are we listening, but your neighbors are listening too. And sometimes it does open our minds a little bit. So thanks so much for being here and sharing that with us, actually. It was very insightful. Thank you. Okay, go ahead.”

“Is that everyone on this item, or we have one more speaker? I can't see with the sign, so. No, you can leave them up. I just, go ahead.”

“All right, I don't see any more speakers, so public comment is closed. All right, colleagues, I guess we'll try to do the thing.”

“Okay, we'll do that. I'll put that on the list. One of the things I was thinking we should do first is RE11, the designation of the street for Ruth Shack. I think she probably deserves to have a separate vote, given her long history in this city. And if it's possible, I would love to co-sponsor that item. I'm not sure if others are interested in that, too. I really appreciate you bringing that, Commissioner Pardo.”
City Commission · Jul 23, 2026

“Okay, delightful, perfect. Colleagues, any other comments? If that, let's all in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. So Ruth Jack having her own street passed unanimously. Thank you for bringing that.”
City Commission · Jul 23, 2026

“Yeah, we have the two of that. And from your perspective, since folks are here, I think we will absolutely do that. Colleagues, you know, we're coming up on noon. My thought is we continue trying to get through a few of the items. Do you agree? So, okay. All right. So why don't we start with Commissioner Pardo since he asked first, then we'll go to you, Commissioner Rosado. Commissioner Pardo, you again.”

“All right. Thank you, Commissioner. And you and I have spent many a day, a hot day, under trees and sometimes planting trees together. So I can attest to your commitment to greening folks. Commissioner Rosado, a few of your residents were here today.”

“Yes. I think what I will do next time is when anyone feels they need to defend themselves, we'll do it at the end of the meeting, colleagues. So just to be clear, we'll do it at the end, not at the beginning. All right. Consent agenda. Let's try to move as quickly through what is simple to do. CA 1, 2, and 3. Does anyone want to bifurcate any of those? All right, I'll entertain a motion. Motion. Mr. Clerk.”
