“1G1. We're going to open public hearing for item 1G1. Anyone wishing to be heard on item 1G1, approach the podium. No one's approaching. I don't have any cards. Showed the public hearing on 1G1 closed. We can take up 1G1 now. Are there any questions from the dais? I need a motion on 1G1. Happy to move it. It's been moved by Regalado. Second by Bastien.

“Director, I think probably the confusion was your answer. You said that we were, we're responsible for the installation and maintenance. And then you say that you said that they responsible for the maintenance and we, profit shares. Are we responsible for the maintenance or are they responsible for the maintenance?”

“So they're responsible for that maintenance, the cleanliness and that type of thing. And we're probably responsible for the physical plant structure of the maintenance. So that's going to be the division. That's the confusion. You're recognized from .”

“I am completely comfortable with enforcing our ordinance and Commissioner Regalado. I don't necessarily. I won't be rushing to put it on this committee's agenda, but I'm okay with the broader discussion. I think she had at the board. Because I think all of us need to be involved. I just, I've always been really weary about us. in what, how we regulate which speech is allowed on our assets. I've always been worried of that and so as we go forward in that conversation, I would just advise my colleagues be mindful of what you say on the record because it is perilous for us when we place…”

“Please follow up with the Commissioner on that. And then, Commissioner, if there are specific areas that you know, and maybe you could break it down for the areas that are actually in her district. Yeah. So let's just make sure that where there's specific need, there's deliberate action.”

“Okay, Jesus, I was like, what? You mean the chairman put you on probation? You need to enunciate, okay. No way.”
Transportation Committee · May 12, 2026
- Play at 19:19
“Um, why don't you prepare a discussion item and submit it? I, I don't have a problem with that, but the chairman still has to actually, I'm just, I'm, I'm asking you if you're okay with it.”

“All right. Anything else? And the department, so you all heard her say she's going to request that, so you all can probably start to think ahead. I don't want you all to wait until the agenda comes out and then say, oh, by the way, we didn't have time because it was just approving the agenda. You all are probably doing some of that work already, I would imagine. But you're forewarned at this point. So all those in favor of adjourning, signify by saying aye.”

“So, I mean, if you want to call it that, but- Yeah, so what you're saying is, and I'm going to bring this up because I saw a nominee here before, and I was just on a panel with the mayor. in front of the Miami-Dade Chamber. We were all there and we talked about one of the ways that we could have inclusion in our economy of the things we do here. And one of the things I spoke out against is our rampant use of legacy awards. And not that I'm against the system, and I might eventually vote for this at commission, but I want to go through it with you all because what you're essentially asking me…”
