“On Exhibit C, where it says it's North Bay Village use, my understanding is we're not paying for that use.”
“The hours that they didn't want. That's not entirely true. Okay. The point of bringing this up is that Exhibit C, which shows how the fields are dedicated for use across Monday through Sunday from the morning until night. We do have one field every single day dedicated for our use. The problem is that our current soccer program runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays and it grows and it's not gonna be able to be contained within the one practice field that is dedicated to North Bay Village every day between 5.30 or 6.30 and 10.30. And so, if we are going to be in a renegotiation posture on some of…”
“I mean, have you spoken with him about consulting? Because I'm getting lots of messages from stakeholders. Have you and Chris had that conversation about what Exhibit C says today and how we might amend the soccer program to be consistent with that? Or are they sort of like, no, Exhibit C needs to change?”
“So you and Fabian are going through this sort of cleanup consistency review. Exhibit C is an exhibit to this agreement that you're cleaning up. I understand that changes to Exhibit C impact the school board's bag. Is that right? Like how much money the school board is making off of this deal is impacted by Exhibit C. Is that correct?”
“Changing the programming schedule would modify the Ties Agreement, correct?”
“Changing the schedule of programming for the fields, not the courts, the fields, would it require going back before the school board? I will confirm. Okay. Okay.”

HAB-Juliette Boone, Truly amend the lease contemplate them paying legal for the vertical subdivision that's required to facilitate that lease. HAB-Juliette Boone, noted. Okay, back to my report. Congratulations to Lily and Christina. Spring Fling was absolutely fantastic, fantastic. I saw so many happy children, less happy. bunnies, but that's OK.

“There are things that you had for us tonight, but they're not urgent enough to actually discuss now that it's 1030. I'm confused by that.”
“No, I don't. Honestly, I don't want to reduce the amount of money that they're paying. They're leasing space in an area that once upon a time... Sorry, buddy. Once upon a time, we didn't need, but now we need it. Now we need it. Now it's like a really important entrance to our community center and fields. And I would love the commission's input on what we are going to do about the Treasure Island Care Center lease of those parking spaces. I would like for us to be able to have an actual nice entrance to the park there. including the ability for residents to park their cars so that they can go…”
“I mean, I actually had asked the manager to put together an aerial.”
“I mean, there's nothing about the park that I'm looking at right now that meets any type of semblance of the Green Book standard, right? Like, not even close. Not even close. Like, what they're doing here is completely illegal. Really? completely illegal and so i don't see us you know designing a different scenario that you know allows them to continue parking parking cars like that unless you unless you do a real border for the for the pedestrian path they're going to continue pushing all the way back into the parking spaces anyway Yeah, this is something that we need to resolve. We need to…”
“That's, no, no. Of course. No, there's still, it's not $2,000 a month per space. They pay $2,000 a month for the- For the 15 spaces.”
“We can charge whatever we damn well please, first of all. And second of all, we're not proposing an exact- number of of changes right i'm just saying i'm asking staff to use the resources that we have to get creative come up with a proposed solution and bring something back to us this entrance to the field needs to be formalized as an entrance to the park and our residents need to be able to park there”
“Let's ask them for more information about how they're using their parking.”
“Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't I don't.”
“Well, the community center has plenty of parking.”
“Yeah, I mean, first of all, like how many beds are in that facility? How many staff do they have? How many people are like, what are the shifts? Are people parking cars and leaving them overnight? Have we done an overnight count? It would be awesome to get an overnight count to understand what, you know, maybe they are parking cars in that lot that are not needed for the operations of that facility.”
“We'll revisit it. If you could bring us an update in May, that would be great. Okay.”
“Okay, I appreciate all the work. Things are taking too long. I asked for this three weeks ago to tell me now that we don't even have a draft and that you're preparing the final numbers and that you're going to have something else for the next two weeks. I need to communicate to the public. We asked for a number of communications documents. We asked for a one pager that could be sent to people. We asked for something that was going to live online. We also asked for something that was going to live on social media. It's been three weeks. That's not acceptable. Please have a draft to us much…”
“Okay. Madam Clerk? No report. Okay. So Commissioner Acosta, you were pulling 11A, right? From consent?”
“But we're pulling it for discussion. I would also like to pull 11D. And who pulled 11E? I pulled 11E. Okay. All right, and I meant to pull 11D, but I didn't. So I'm giving myself the benefit of the doubt. So we're gonna take a motion on the consent agenda minus A, D and E. Do I have a motion to approve the consent agenda?”
“All right. Let's do 11 D and E after we do ordinances and the remainder of public hearings so that we can clear this room a little bit. 11a correct yeah i so no you want to do ordinances first i i want to do ordinances and the rest of the quasi-judicial ones because i don't see anyone from grand vita here anymore dave left okay is anyone here for grand vita on 11a PB, Lupita D Montoya, Okay, great now yeah let's let's let's move on and do 12 a now, this is our use exceptions ordinance and.
