“The recycling, right where she was asking, 4-4.3.3, is that recycling elsewhere? Or is the county, it says that those are about assisting the county in a recycling project. Yes. It's elsewhere? You can let us know, I mean it's not urgent.”

“Can we make this a general, this 5-2.1, just a general thing that we will explore, or whatever the verb is, programs, even whether it's for the Everglades and for water quality? And I would also include in the same thing for mitigation of peacock and iguana.”

“Yeah, without committing to the specific vasectomy program. Just because it is. It is. We know what it's saying. But I would just make those general. And I would include the iguanas if we could.”

“I'm sorry. 9-1.4? Yeah, objective 9-1.5. Oh, objective. And this is just one word choice. It's page 9-141. We say improve security and safety. There's an implication, and this is like I said, nitpicking, but there's an implication in that word that there is a security and safety problem in the schools. And it's really in all the studying and all the analysis we're doing in the schools, there's not, I mean, that's in our community. And I would just, if we could just say foster security and safety versus improve, I know it's a little issue.”

“And then it says Miami-Dade County will in conjunction strive to improve security. That's fine. I just, as a title, that's fine. Just remove that word.”

“And I don't know if this is going to be much more specific but support and advocate for because a lot of what we've done as a council through the EAC and whatever else has been advocating with the state because we don't could right obviously we don't get to control it but right advocating with the state advocating as necessary with the school board although we have an extremely responsive school board member so maybe that word I mean I know that doesn't it puts a little more meat in there I don't think it it doesn't you know it's a little amorphous but I just wonder what our residents mean by”

“At least my take through the DAC angle and all that is I think they're, I think they want more of that. I mean, I think that what I hear from people about the schools all the time in that setting, and it typically comes up in the context of either working with the PTAs and the schools on their issues, whether it's banners, which we can get to in the next six or seven hours, or whatever else, the speeding, the safety issues we talked about, or like I mentioned, the advocacy issue. So I don't know that there's a, I read a lot of that as sort of continuing what we're doing, because I'm yet to…”

“Just a question in terms of the timing. If is, and I asked this and I forgot the answer. If Would the second reading of this, because it's a comp plan, also be after this is transmitted to the state, or is this a sooner second reading? I mean, in other words, is this second reading at the same time as these other comp plan events, or a second reading of this in a month?”

“In other words, it doesn't have to go to the state? No. OK. That was OK.”

“I'm sorry. This is my first time. It's a small-scale amendment. And therefore, it does have to be sent to the state? It does. But it comes back sooner than these other ones? It comes back sooner. OK. Thanks. I just want to have that.”

“But we would even, with that though, we would still be able to review, I mean, again, if the plan was, if it was out of character with the neighborhood, if it was too big, I mean, those would still be, let me not ask it as a leading question. Would those still be factors we could consider? when the site plan approval came up?”

“Well, just as a hypothetical, if they were to come in with a 30 office building, a building that allowed 30 offices, Right? I mean, again, it seems unfathomable to me because the space doesn't seem to allow it. And certainly, I know that the applicant is not going to be. But that's not the point. I guess if they were to come in and say, we want to put 30 offices in here, and it's going to be hundreds of cars coming in and out all day, would we have some ability to say no to that?”

“It's because they didn't, they don't care to come and voice their opinion. If this was a resolution that was a one-timer, I think the question of what's the rush is a fair one. I think if this was a resolution that was a one-time vote, it would be worth more considering. I don't want to say it's worth. What you're saying is worth considering. It would be, it's late. It would give me more pause, perhaps. However, I mean, as I've done before, voted yes on something first time, voted no on something second time. I mean, I think, to me, because we complied legally with notice, I think it's…”
