“Okay, so this is again about the city attorney. Once again, I'm raising a serious concern regarding the performance of our city attorney. I think today we have had many examples of having agenda items that we are supposed to be voting on being placed on the dais on the day of. Last time we had four items, the time before that we had a couple. I think this is not, well, let me, to keep the time straight here, so the level of legal counsel being given to us, our staff and our residents, is unacceptable. The city attorney's job is to advise the commission and not be the eighth commissioner. Yet…”

“All right. Today, yet again, we exceeded our time for the proclamation and recognition. I don't want to take any recognition away from any of our residents, but I want us to be cognizant of the time that we spend in recognizing individuals when we are actually doing the work of the public, all of North Miami Beach residents. I also want to make sure that we are protecting the sanctity and the sacredness or the specialness of our proclamations. I don't know how many proclamations that we have issued this year, but I know that at one event there was a proclamation given to everyone and it was…”

“Hang on, hang on. I have a proposal set, and I'd like to hear what you have to say afterwards. I don't want to take away your ability to recognize someone, right? At the same time, I think we should... reserve certain proclamations like that we want to recognize certain residents who have been longtime residents but have deceased and Maybe we can call those resolution of condolences instead so that it is separated from proclamations I would love to give proclamations certificates and key to the city to people who actually like in the level that it is deserved. And deserving is in your…”

“Yeah, I just wanna get through. So there's four categories of things that we usually use as a reward or as a recognition, ceremonial presentations, whatever. So I'm thinking of resolutions of condolences, certificates, proclamations, key to the city. now i think the highest honor in giving all these awards out is at city hall right because they have the backdrop they have all of us here to take pictures with them it's not an individual person giving them the proclamation so i was thinking that perhaps we could limit it to one commissioner one proclamation per month in in the chamber then…”

“Okay, and also I want us to request it a couple of days earlier so that the staff would have time to manage this and not have to deal with all the things like in the last minute, right? And then also I think that we all should have one key that we give per year just to keep the specialness of the key, right? Now, listen, I'm not about, hang on, I'm not about limiting it, but what I want to bring is, I mean, at least we should all agree that that person that we want to give the key to gets the key.”

I will have staff send you the draft that we worked on, and after that, you put your comments in, and then we're going to create a resolution where we all commit to it, and that's it.
