“Thank you, Mayor. There are a few amendments that were made between the first and second reading. However, I would like to also propose another amendment, which it will be to include mandatory reflective gear, such as vests or other items of clothing when riding at nighttime. I think that's the only one that we were missing when it comes to all. But when it comes to protective or equipment, we're including and proposing this amendment. And also, when it comes to identification, I also would like to add student ID as a form of identification. Since we're just adding Florida State ID or some…”

“Thank you, Mayor. Well, more than a question is I want to share, since we're speaking about 79th Avenue, I do share your concerns about 79th Avenue. I mean, I think it's not a surprise how bad it already is when it comes to traffic, when it rains. Certainly for me, and it's not because of this project, Tracy, it's because I'm really concerned about when it comes to these type of approvals and looking into the future of the city since I understand the use, It certainly makes sense because that's what it is for, especially that area. Unfortunately, there has been some approvals in the past in…”

“Thank you, Tracy. And the reason of asking our administration is because I know 79th Avenue belongs to the city. Sometimes people, unfortunately it's not the county, it's the city. And 79th Avenue is an area that we still have a lot of work to do. Looking for the future of Doral, I think it has to be our priority. So I know there's some projects along 79th Avenue, if you can go over that. And also to clarify, some of the streets are private roads as well. So when it rains, obviously we have the issue on the side, on the east part of the 79th Avenue. Right, well, that's another one, yes. But…”

“And again, I just wanted to have that clarification as well because it is important for residents, for business owners to understand what we're doing on 79th Avenue as well, which again, it should be one of our PRIORITIES WHEN IT COMES TO IMPROVEMENTS AND OVERALL TO KEEP THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN OUR CITY, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE HAVE A SCHOOL ON 53rd STREET RIGHT THERE. SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE MAKING SOME IMPROVEMENTS ON 79 AVENUE AS WELL. SO THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. THAT INCLUDES MY COMMENTS.”

“Just a quick comment. I also want to echo what just the mayor just mentioned. Great job to the administration. I know great job to you as well, because I know you guys have spent hours and months, well, months, years already.”

“Yeah. The whole planning and zoning team since the beginning has been, I know, working on this. And also Miriam, Alejandro, it's good to see you here as well. You guys have done a great job too. I mean, I know it's hard when you represent a client, but I know the client has been also involved and they have been helping in the process too. Because at the end of the day is what the mayor mentioned. I mean, it's about we're one community. We have to work together in something that makes sense for the residents and the future of the city. The nonsense from the past is over. Now we make sense to a…”

“Thank you, Mayor. As you may recall, during the August 13 of this year, we approved and we instructed the city attorney to draft legislation providing for age and safety equipment and for a schedule of fines for violations related to the ordinance about micromobility devices. As you might know, the Florida statute, the Florida legislation amended Florida Statute 316-2128 to provide municipalities with greater authority to regulate micromobility devices on the right of way. And I want to take this opportunity to thank our city attorney and administration for working on drafting this part of…”

“Sure. I just want to make a quick comment. Thank you once again to our City Attorney. One of the things that I thought was very important was to certainly, and it's something that we're going to be hopefully moving forward with, which is the educational component. Hopefully once we approve the second reading, one of the requests that I will make to the administration is to launch an educational campaign through the police department and our public affairs department through the mayor's office as well, that we can start informing the residents about these new ordinance the regulations and also…”

“Thank you, Mayor. First of all, thank you for coming because it's the only way that sometimes we get the information or you send an email as well. And I understand your frustration. I mean, if I was a business owner or the management company, I would do the same. So thank you for bringing this to our attention. However, I think that for your problem right now that you're facing right now, and I agree in part with Councilwoman Reynaud, so I don't think that lowering the time 10 minutes will resolve your issue because cars will keep parking there. That's a reality. So however, I think that you…”

“39 in 21, 2022. Now 49. We need more people out there. We need more people taking care of our streets. More people making sure that everything is clean, nice, and neat. And it is right now. And it has been for years. They do a great job. They need more people in there. So it is normal that when it's like me saying, what was the population in 2021? What's the population in 2025? Same thing. So to make those comparisons and try to project and say it out there that we're just increasing the budget and spending the money that way, whatever we want, is very responsible because you have to look at…”

“So the fact that we're being able to offer $700,000 to increase community programming for seniors and special needs, we should be proud of that. Let me keep going on. The fact that we're expanding more cultural programming, something that we have never done in the city, $326,000 towards cultural events and programming. No other city in Miami-Dade County can say that. You're talking about a million dollar just between seniors' special needs and art and culture. no cost to the residents when it comes to park improvements 2.4 plus 2.5 million dollars in park improvement when you add that up is…”

“I'm sorry, yes. Draw seats. Since you're talking about a competition, maybe you want to make it like a first place, second place, and third place. And that would be amicable in increasing that budget to, to make it more attractive and more competitive if we have at least first place, second place and third place. And also I would like to suggest that instead of business operating for the last six months to make it a 12 months or a year lease.”

“That will be great. And other than that, I think that those are two programs will certainly make a relief. I'm glad that you're moving forward the emergency hardship grant. something that i by the way didn't happen when during the covet i know you try the rest of the council didn't approve funding uh approved funding uh helping businesses back then so i'm glad that we're creating this and when it comes to the seniors you know i'm all on board when it comes to the seniors so the 200 grand is more than than 50 a year uh that has been proposed. So those are my comments.”

“Thank you, Mayor. Well, it's not a secret that the Silver Club is one of my favorite groups that we have in the city of Doral. And I do believe we have been improving the program, especially in the last year. They're very happy with all the programming, all the events, everything that we're hosting for them, not only as a city, but also when we do individual events for them as well. And this initiative will just reserve hours once a month at the new aquatic center only for our Silver Club members. During these reserve hours, participants will be offered specialized programming such as aqua…”

“Thank you, Mayor. Deciding is something that we have been discussing and working on for especially for the past year. And as a matter of fact, when when I had the chance to go to Tallahassee, it's something that I brought to our state representative, David Barreto's attention to and he took it in. in a very serious way and he has been very supportive on these matters since I brought it to his attention. We all know that certainly the increasing of micro mobility options such as electric bicycles, scooters, and other small motorized personal transportation dividers has created both…”

“Thank you, Mayor. First of all, congratulations. It's nice to see, I mean, and thanks to the city manager that provided the email regarding previous council members that have been here, well, including the mayor, that has been here or part of the council during their pregnancy. I didn't know that Councilwoman Maria Rodriguez, our state senator now, during her second pregnancy in 2014, didn't miss any meetings due to pregnancy. And I know back then the Vice Mayor Fraga, Councilwoman Fraga back then as well. So I thank Councilwoman Reynoso for her comments and certainly as a father, And that's…”
