“And I know our residents need this sooner than later. They've been asking for it for quite some time. So I do wanna be able to turn around a product for them that they're going to like, especially that this decision has been brought to us here at the dais. I wanna take all the opportunities available to us to make the best decision possible. But I do think that comparing the two products live in a controlled environment where we can all have the same opinion or the same opportunity to make the same opinion same time, the same area, so it's just a better form of judging the product. That's…”

“So through the mayor, I would feel comfortable putting this on for a later date and to have the opportunity to review what that light would look like. I don't think we would need to wait until March. I think February would give us enough time. The memo, their information was.”

“Through the mayor, is there a way that we can verify that each of us have looked at both poles, some type of log or anything that we can sign off?”

“I do have a personal privilege. So I didn't want the council meeting to be over without recognizing that it is the vice mayor's last birthday at the city of Doral. So I just wanted to bring out.”

“I'll go first. Thank you, Mayor. Well, it's been exactly one year since I've been elected into this seat. And instead of having a super long speech, I'm just going to say one word that really describes this year for me and my family. It's just gratitude. Gratitude to be able to serve, gratitude to be able to expand my network of family, starting with my seniors and my special needs, the staff that I've been able to work with, really learning the needs of a community and being able to be at the forefront of the things that are necessary for a city to run efficiently and effectively as we do I…”

“To the mayor. I want to thank staff. This was a super tedious project, and the community engagement that was had based on your presentations and everything else was excellent. I echo the comments that the mayor and the city manager made, so excellent job. I'm glad that we're finally offering some relief to the residents as well. Thank you. Thank you all.”

“Thank you, Mayor. Again, everything that we do is for the benefit of our community and this will benefit and prevent a lot of future issues that we may have with our residents. So for the health and safety of our residents, this is the item I am presenting. Thank you.”

“I'm so proud that we're able to bring this up again, another year celebrating flowers and community. And I think both you and your wife and the people that help you do such an amazing job. And I think it could be almost a signature event that we have in Doral. Like the mayor said, a lot of the flower business comes through Doral. And I think it's just exemplifying the type of businesses and the community events that we have. So thank you for bringing this.”

“OK, thank you. So first of all, obviously these routes benefit the most needy residents. or residents that are looking to afford living here, cutting on cost of transportation, whatever the name may be. Our elderly population, our younger population. So the realization of this study is very disappointing to me. And repeating, it's to no one's fault, but I think we need to align ourselves, like the mayor is saying, for a more realistic approach to getting this done. Because right now, my calculations are, The efficiency rate that we have in our transit system is about a 50, 40%, which is bad.…”

“Okay. So essentially, even if we were to adopt this plan today, we wouldn't see it coming online for about another two years. And I think that transparency and that clarification to our residents needs to be said and needs to be broadcasted to them. So I like the proposed routes. I think they're going to be a benefit. I agree with coming back in about 90 days or so with a more concrete plan on how to get this going because we're still going to deliver this to our residents in about two years. And in two years, a lot of things can change. So I would like also to have a campaign kind of build…”

“Yes, go ahead. I just want to thank staff. The study is excellent. I think it was super easy to understand, and staff are always doing an amazing job. I know that this is a job that you take pride in doing, and you can tell by the quality of work that you produce as a department. So I don't want to end the discussion on this item without letting you know wholeheartedly how much I do appreciate you, and I know that our residents do as well. So thank you.”

“Yes. Thank you, Mayor. So this ordinance would create local rules for Cava and Kratom, nobody really knows how to say this, establishments in Doral. As these businesses have grown statewide, so have the concerns for health and safety and the accessibility to our youth. State law limits those sales to 21 and over, but it doesn't address where these establishments can operate. This ordinance adds responsible distance requirements for schools, parks, playgrounds, and places of worship, and prevents the clustering of other similar regulations such as alcohol. The goal is to protect public health,…”

“So I would agree with maintaining a unified message whenever we do talk about the changes that may come along and What I'm concerned about is relocating essentially the impact of taking taxes or fees from Let's say our property taxes and figuring out a different way to essentially implement the same and So that's my overall concern. And I am concerned about the future of seeing a lot of our programs be in jeopardy because of these cuts, especially since it's taken a really long time and through the courses of the years to curate the programs that we have for our seniors, for our special…”

“Thank you. I just have some comments. So I'm extremely excited about reaching this point. I think this is an excellent opportunity for our community. And just to be able to gather as neighbors on a Saturday coming now in January is going to be great. So thank you for all the effort, all of your department through the city manager's office as well, that this is actually coming to fruition. So I am excited. Thank you again.”

“And please, the only thing that I ask for is a few weeks before, I know with the holidays and everything else that we're promoting, that we start promoting this a little bit earlier, like a save the date or something. Absolutely. That we can really kick this off in the community.”

“So my comment is that this item is extremely important and I'm so glad that my colleague brought it up and has continued to be so persistent in making sure this is followed through and implemented. At the end of the day, this is really for the safety of our children. There is a need to protect that population within our city. There is a safety that we need to provide and educate for this type of mobility, for lack of a better word. And I think it's a great item that should be implemented within our city so we can protect our children. So thank you. Thank you.”

“It's more like a question. Has an application been filed for naming the street?”
City Council · Oct 8, 2025
- Play at 25:14
“The reason why I asked if an application has been filed is because an application should be filed first, and this council discussion should come afterwards. So there's already a procedure for naming, renaming, co-designating a street. And that's in our code, and that's Section 38-61. So if we can follow what has already been designated for us as a method of naming a street, then I can entertain a discussion. But this shouldn't have been the order of how this item should have been brought to the council.”

“Yes, I have a comment. My question is, for donations, what is the maximum amount we can donate to an organization? I have to review the box. Yes. I'm sorry. It's OK. Through the mayor. What is the maximum amount through our offices that we can donate to an organization? What is it now? I would have to look at the code. It's $5,000.”
City Council · Oct 8, 2025

“OK. So to me, substantial would not mean, I have to do my math here, $2,000. I have finance here. So $2,000 out of $5,000 is 20%?”
City Council · Oct 8, 2025
- Play at 32:23
“Yeah, I studied law. I didn't study math. So that's not substantial. When you're considering the scope, the limitation of what you're applying the amount to. When we're talking about bigger things, let's say salaries, capital improvement projects, whatever it may be, $2,000 may not be that substantial in that course. So I think we have to be very careful with how we present our information and make sure it's just fitting into the subject matter and what we're trying to explain. Because when the max amount is $5,000, $2,000 is not substantial when that is our max. And I want to also tell you…”
