“All right, thank you. So Vice Mayor, I wanna start by saying that I deeply understand the season of your life that you're in right now. As a mother of three, I have walked through some of the most challenging and emotional moments while still carrying significant responsibility. Now, I'm going to give a heavily abridged version of my own journey of being pregnant. When I had my first child, I was 24 years old. I was starting a master's, and I was working full time. My second child was born while I was in law school, and he came into this world with a serious heart condition that required…”

“So thank you so much, Vice Mayor, for your empathy. I was trying to support you. I was trying to tell you that through the toughest of situations, I still showed up. I still showed up and there's employees here that are full time and only get four weeks a month of parental leave. How do we justify to them that we're changing things, starting with ourselves? So we're reacting to a current situation of us, of you being pregnant. Versus seeing this months ago, years ago, because now you're coming up to your second term to discuss that before you became pregnant. To see what our employees needed…”

“Thank you, Mayor. So my item is a seasonal farmers market. Colleagues, I am excited to bring this proposal for our seasonal farmers market in our city. I am hoping that the city of Doral's future farmers market will replace my current favorite, that of the village of Pinecrest. And they've done such an amazing job with that market. I'm sure that we're going to just do so much better. A farmers market in the city of a weekly basis will strengthen our community by supporting local economy and giving small businesses, artisans and entrepreneurs direct access to all customers here. And it will…”

“Thank you. Madam Clerk, I want to make an amendment to the title because throughout my research, I did mention Maria Evita Salazar, but also this is a nonpartisan bill and it was presented by her and another House of Representative, Veronica Escobar. So we can add her also to the title. Thank you. So being a leader here in the city of Doral, we do represent a grand majority of an immigrant community. And seeing that there hasn't been many proposed bills that will lead to having at least a permanent residency here in the United States, this one does. So some of the things that this bill is…”

“What is the point of order, though? She's about to say it. The point of order would be we have in the shade sessions to discuss this. If you attend those in the shade sessions, you would know why we have reached the decisions that we have reached. That's my point.”

“Vice Mayor Porras, I think it's prudent for us to look at the several options that we have that is being presented in the budget book that we're going to be receiving tomorrow. And I think the fiscally responsible thing to do is to look at what is being proposed, what has been analyzed now for several months, and to decide the current rate of what our millage rate is going to be in a responsible manner. And I think analyzing what the staff has worked on for several months is the most responsible thing to do based on the presentation that we received today.”

“Thank you, Mayor. Well, my item is very simple. Over the last couple of months, we've seen the amount of work and events and meetings that the mayor has attended on behalf of the city. And I believe the best course of action for the Sergeant at Arms position is to be exclusive for the mayor, as she is the full-time council member representing the city.”

“Point of personal privilege? Yes. Thank you so much. I believe in order to have skin in the game to really opine to this item, you needed to be involved with the before of this item. In other words, attend community events, attend community engagement, in order to really see the need of a sergeant at arms, none of which you do. That's my comment.”
