“Vice Mayor. My main topic of conversation tonight is the community center and soccer program. So in the interest of time to all of our residents here tonight, and thank you all for being here, I will waive my commission report.”

“thank you mayor uh so the reason i put this item on the agenda is because i'm part of the soccer group chat with a lot of you that are here tonight and um i was reading through some of the concerns a lot of which we heard tonight by some of our residents like kevin here around around programming and around the soccer program and access to the fields and scholarships so Tonight, my goal with this item is to address all of those components of the program, of the community center, hopefully give all of you a lot of clarity and transparency about access and about the kids soccer program and make…”

“Okay, so yeah, the lighting is a top concern for me too. I went out on the fields and I noticed that the lights are adjustable. I spoke to some of my colleagues in Miami Beach and they have night guards that they have in use at Flamingo Park and some of their other facilities. So I want us to look into that. I also heard that those lights can be set, the brightness can be adjusted on those. They're LED lights, so that can be adjusted. Some of them can be turned off. But we need to explore all of these things because it is important. I live at the Lexi and I've gone down to the sixth floor,…”

“Definitely. It's going to be very rare that those lights or that field is going to need to be at FIFA standards. So this is an important point we have to look into.”

“And that's what I was going to suggest. So why don't we, we need to sit down with the parents, the staff, and understand what's the schedule like, understand the requirements of the program, what's the capacity that we have, the amount of kids that we have, and work around that. There is... plenty of opportunity to rent uh in the mornings at nights i i'm hearing that some of it's rented by other academies um we should have the first say on that i i would first of all i would say and then secondly um i i i'm sure we yeah i mean i'm sure we can we can find ways to fund an additional field if…”

“Right. Well, we need to get ahead of it and understand what hours we need for the soccer program and rent those fields out.”

“I'm okay with a condensed version of the presentation.”

“That's what I was going to say. I mean, you both make really good points. And I do agree that the cost of litigating and the time that it would take, it would probably be a court for a year, two years, maybe.”

“My suggestion is what if we tried to negotiate with them and secure their commitment to reopen when the neighboring building opens up? Yeah. I mean, is that, would that be acceptable? I mean, agreed. Will that be acceptable, Commissioner Darrell?”

“No, no, we can't drop it because I agree with what you said. It's opening access to the bay. And when we have Pagani and that's connected to space and Pagani and Moda, it's going to be amazing. It's going to be beautiful. And all the way down through Al-Ad and 360. So I fully support it. We can't drop the idea of the island walk. It's part of MBB 100. It's the best. It is a huge selling point to our community. It's why we put it in for Continuum and for every other development. So I think, Andy, if you're okay with it, try to go on their next board meeting and see if you could set a deadline…”

“But if the special magistrate agrees that they have to, then they get cited daily, right?”

“The process... Well, I don't understand either. I don't see why the second option isn't”

“All right, look, we waited this long to get to this point. I don't think delaying it one more month is going to be a big deal. Let's just try and get in front of them, try and get a deadline to open it and see what they say and come back with.”

“That's okay. I've heard really good points, I think, from both sides. And there's a lot of things I'm taking in. One of the things I wanted to mention that was talked about here on the dais is that, and it's actually kind of seen here in the page that we got from you, is There's been differences in where we are today and where we were a couple years ago when Sunbeam Continuum were passed, Shoma was brought up. North Bay Village is very different today. It's a very different investment today than it was two years ago, four years ago, six years ago, or eight years ago when a lot of these…”

“I have a comment. I just want to be clear that we definitely have to right size the fees. They're too low as we saw in the presentation comparatively to the rest of South Florida. And I think we're a much higher value community than a lot of those that were mentioned that already have higher fees than we do. So a right size is definitely needed. I supported, I'm okay with deferring it. I would like to, I would like us to address it sooner than later. I would like to make sure that developers are a part of this, the community is a part of this, that residents are aware of the conversations…”

“And it has to increase. I also think I like to take a personalized approach and look at each project individually and what they're offering to the community and where it is and what amenities they're providing because and where the height is and the density because it's not every project is equal. And I also don't believe in a blanket. Just cost increase. Some of them should be way more. Some of them should be more. It depends on the project, the development and the community support that's behind it. And it should be driven by that. The other thing that I've mentioned before on the…”

“Okay. Similar pattern here. I spoke to Graham Penn and the LLAD team last week for 30 minutes over a Zoom conversation and answered all the emails from residents and then spoke to several others over phone.”
