“COMMISSIONER SU? GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. AS WE COME TO THE END OF AUGUST, I WANT TO CONTINUE WHERE I LEFT OFF IN MY JULY COMMISSION REPORT. NOT TELLING YOU ABOUT THE WHOLE LIST, BUT FIRST OF ALL, SCHOOL IS BACK. AND ONCE AGAIN, OUR PARKS AND PARKS DEPARTMENT HAD A GREAT FINALE TO THE SUMMER NIGHT AND WITH THE NIGHT OUT BACK TO SCHOOL AND HEALTH all together in that whole season week. It was fantastic to see the kids enjoyed so much of their summer camp. And also, it was a great opportunity to bring the community together. I also want to share something personal. Today I was scheduled to…”

“OK, wonderful. Yes, I concur. Thank you. So you all heard it. You have another 15 days. Well, plus four. So 19 days. We have a lot happening in North Miami Beach. It's the centennial year. Everybody's super excited. Some are challenging. Some are exciting. Some are just plain fun, like our centennial block parties. So we have one more this weekend, right, in Eastern Shores. So if you are not doing anything, come join us. Come party with us, and let's celebrate our 100 years. And also... Just be sure that no matter what we are doing, we are moving the city forward, okay? And I'm always here,…”

“So I'd like to ask my colleagues, what do we think about this? And I know there are cities that give free health care. And there are cities that actually, every time there's an increase, they deduct it from the employees. One thing that I think is missing, right, is a conversation that Vice Mayor Floremon and I had to talk about the study that we were supposed to do, the classification and compensation study. If we know that we are compensating and classifying our employees correctly, right, then we would know whether this is kind of like that thing that's in between. If we're underpaying…”

“Right. So, I mean, in the meantime, like, you know, we have to pass the budget. We have to, you know, we have to pay EDNA. So, you know what I mean? Like, all of that.”

“We have to do that now. So, I mean, like, what do we think? How do we think we should responsibly move this forward that we can, you know, be kind to the employees and also be kind to our taxpayers?”

“Five. Five. Five. And that last time, I'm sorry to interrupt anybody, the rise in healthcare costs last year was over $800,000. So that's why there was that five add on, which the city still took the majority of it. And, and, you know, this year, it's another $500,000 increase. So that's, you know, I mean, like, it's 300,000 less, but I mean, like, you know, it's it's two thirds of what it was last year. I just want to bounce this around and let's share with the public what we think, right? If we're going to use the taxpayer funding to subsidize everything for the employees, I'd like to hear…”

“I do have another thing to request. And so I think the PD is doing a full body scan for prevention. And can you, I remember I spoke with the chief and he said that body scan, you know, sometimes like... Live scan. Yes, because I think that that is a more thorough, you know, scan. Usually, like, we get a colonoscopy, we get a mammogram, right? We get, you know, we get, I don't know, a pap smear, whatever it is. These are only specific organs, like, you know, you get a colonoscopy, whatnot. But that scan actually checks out any lung, spleen, pancreatic, you know, like that. It's a whole body…”

“But angioscreen is only for the heart, isn't it? Right, heart and arteries. I'm talking about organs, like all your entire body organs, right? Including like skin and whatnot too. So, I mean, that's something that I wanted to add into our preventative healthcare. Anyway, that's a side note. My next question is, I'm just, what else, does anybody kind of lean on my side or everybody is all for the city absorbing 511?”

“Yes, so if they have been open for 50 years in business, they could not have used Aventura, could they?”

“And it was in North Miami Beach that it was called Aventura?”

“No, no, what I'm saying is that the area that this facility is in is in Aventura. No, is it?”

“Right. And then you all I believe most of the people on this day is approved to not allow for the name Aventura. I don't know, Commissioner Smith did. Did you do you recall that resolution? recall that i pulled it so i'll talk when you get a chance okay thank you all right so that's my question is if the city was that you know incorporated later and we had to change so i don't i mean i just don't want to just i'm just curious you can't have a business change your name um commissioner smith”

“Yes, thank you. Okay, so I understand what Commissioner Smuckler is talking about. Branding is a very expensive marketing tool, and to rebrand their Aventura, Rehabilitation, and whatnot, I understand how expensive it would be. Listen, they're building a new facility. It is the perfect opportunity to get back into the groove and the rhythm of our city. And now that we are, maybe previously we weren't really gung-ho about building the brand of North Miami Beach, but now we are. And we really want them, since they're doing a new facility, they could say, you know what, new name, same ownership,…”

“Okay, so our political signs are a little outdated and what I wanted to do was to keep the city orderly, clean and, you know, I mean like I know during election it can get pretty messy with a lot of lawn signs and, you know, large signs and whatnot. So this actually has nothing to do with, so we're changing the date because originally when we moved the election from May to November, we never changed the start date of when people could put up signs, right? It still says March 1st. So if you can imagine March 1st having signs up all the way to November would be kind of crazy. But the attorney…”
