“And to your question, Marge, if somebody is interested in purchasing a condominium there, and they say, where is my parking space? And they say, you don't have a parking space, and that person is probably not the right fit to purchase a condominium there. And that's the idea. Someone who doesn't own a car, doesn't feel they need a car, for example, My children don't have cars. They live in an urban area. They don't own an automobile. It's a tremendous relief to them that they don't need a car. They use rideshare or public transportation. So someone who says, where do I park my car? Where is…”

“Just something doesn't seem to make sense to me, I guess, as an attorney. So this commission here, the elected body, has no discretion because the Charter Revision Committee chose two items to put on the charter, to revise the charter, to put on the ballot. So we can't say no, we don't want those on there, correct?”
City Commission · Jun 2, 2026

“But at the same time, we have to vote to adopt a resolution to put those on the ballot.”

“OK. So just so the record is clear, no one here is asking for a raise, but it's going to be on the ballot. and we can't say no, don't put it on the ballot. That's correct. Fascinating. Although I do want to point out there's been no raise for 25 years, which it's pretty reasonable.”

“Just so everyone understands, we're not asking for anything, but we can't say no.”

“Okay. At this time, I guess, well, I... I will ask the public if they have any comments on this. Seeing none, I'll close it. I see a member of the commission there. The Charter Revision Commission, I'm referring to. Okay, so the commission has no comments, no questions. Let's vote on that.”

“Any staff reports, manager, clerk, attorney? Seeing none, I will ask at this time if any member of the public would like to speak on an item that's not on the agenda tonight for three minutes. Once again, I will ask that you can come forward. You could tell us we're great. You could tell us we suck. If you want to come forward, don't all come up at once. Anyone? Okay, so now, come on up, but now I'm going to have the city attorney read the rules while you're coming up.”

“Hi. So thank you for coming. I want you to know that everyone up here shares your concern. That's why we have a new ordinance. I probably call the manager three times a week on this specific issue. Today, I just sent him the Sunny Isles ordinance that just started on June 1. I'm a walker. It's a huge problem. It's a very dangerous problem. There was a head-on collision on the Queensborough Bridge in New York two days ago where an e-bike and a bicyclist in the bike lane had a head-on collision. They were both killed. It's my worst nightmare, and I am actually in the middle of writing the…”
