“THANK YOU, MAYOR. IT'S A PRIVILEGE FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT THIS PROCLAMATION TONIGHT. SOME OF YOU KNOW MY STORY WITH MY FAMILY. My mom passed at the age of 57 with breast cancer. And when I was old enough, I began to advocate and go out in the community and working with, at that time, American Cancer Society. And I was the chairperson for Relay for Life for 10 years. So we have one still here in the city. It's Relay for Life, Fort Lauderdale, well, Carter Park, Lauder Hill, Lauderdale Lakes, and North Lauderdale. So this is very dear to my heart. I am one who advocates for...…”

“With the conversation we had earlier today, I was suggesting that we defer with a date comfort. Well, I end up saying let's go ahead and convey it to the CRA. Overall, what we need to do, you said it, we've all said it, we need to make sure the direction that we take is a robust conversation with the community. And with the direction we take, I, being representative of District 3, originally this land was part of District 3. And wanting the community, the community wants to have that voice to make sure that they are heard. and what is decided to be put on the property, that we're all in…”

“Before we second, just clarity from the city manager. Is that enough time? I'm not trying to stretch this out. I want to make sure that we're utilizing our time efficiently, but we don't want any lag time either. If it's only going to take four months, do we need to push it back to... March. So I was trying to say, let's not waste the time. If we could do it before April, I believe we would be more productive.”

I have the honor this afternoon to present this proclamation. Earlier in the year, I attended the National League of Cities annual conference, and this was one of the initiatives that the National League of Cities suggested that we as cities throughout the nation take a pledge in regards to civility, being able to, in unity, work together. So we are here today to declare that this is the day, and we're going to ask all of our neighbors as well to be a…”

“If I can say something, I was so excited tonight to give the proclamation that I just read. Change starts with us. I'm just going to say that. Change starts with us. Every day, everyone has an opportunity to be a better version of themselves. I'm not the person who wants to hear what someone said yesterday. Because the grace that I live under, I receive grace daily. and to be a commission that's working for everybody regardless of color, creed, smell, look, funk, whatever, choice of whatever they like to do. I stand in a position where I give them the space to be who they are, whether I like…”

“Okay, thank you. Mayor, I would like to expound on this as well. Sure. Thank you very much for your comments. I am one who enjoys and invites and encourage young generations to come and give their viewpoint because I am, I usually say I'm uncomfortable speaking for a generation that I'm not even going to be around to represent. So I appreciate you coming. I encourage the generations to come and be before us. Generation Z, Alphas, come and let us know what it is. I had a great concern. I said this many times when we were taking information about our new city hall, what's going to be in the…”

“Yes, thank you. I ask that we pull this. I am in support of approving this funding from Florida Department of Transportation. I just wanted to bring some light to it. It is in regards to awareness campaign for bicyclists and pedestrians. And in the six-month quarter, we were blessed to receive funding to add the pedestrian crosswalks to the boulevard. And I'm really excited and why I asked for this to be pulled.
