“Thank you. Well, first of all, I want to say thank you, Tracy, and the for taking the time in going over my concerns based on the last meeting.

“Thank you, Mayor. Exportesano La Memoria, which is going to be the title, is a cultural movement that has been promoting and preserving Colombian handcraft tradition for 15 years already. And now for the first time, They're hosting their international edition here in the city of Doral from October 18th through the 20th. And to give you a little bit about the background, because I know we're going to have a presentation, I believe they're connected as well. And I want to welcome them as well. But support Colombian nutritionists by establishing local, national, international commercial…”

“Thank you, Mauro. Again, this is just to create the awareness that they're coming for us to hopefully participate, to be present on the 18th once they start. This is not costing anything to the city. They're taking care of all the expenses, and I thought it was going to be a good idea for us to tell everybody that they're coming, and at the same time for the city to, for us as elected officials to get involved somehow, either by promoting the event in our social medias, but at the same time to offer them their support. because once again, it's a very good organization. They have been doing…”

“Hi, Tracy. Good morning. I have a question. My concern, my main concern about this project is actually that you only have one entrance in XT, right, on 87th Avenue? Okay.”

“Thank you. And I made the comment because I know we go back to 2014, but the West neighborhood, the way that it was called before. And for me, that was a terrible approval. Anyway, I think that probably we all agree on that. And the way that was designed, everything. And we always keep hearing about approvals to the West of 87th Avenue or over development around the city of the round so in my main concern is certainly is traffic in that area that's why i voted no on the project on 87 and 41st on the resort project and this is on the other side and that will continue to be my main concern so i…”

“Thank you, Mayor. This ordinance is in support of human trafficking public awareness. First of all, I want to say thank you to former Councilwoman and former Vice Mayor Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera for being here and for being a champion in this matter. I do recall in 2014 when this ordinance was passed and it was thanks to you. So it was the first ordinance related to human trafficking in the City of Doral. So when we had this conversation, we thought that it was not only needed to to bring it back, to update it. But at the same time, I know we also have a brief discussion in the two months…”

“say thanks to not only the administration, but our public works department, our police department for the last two, three days. As the city manager stated in one of the emails, I think that regardless of what happens, this, which, again, thanks God that we're certainly, we're going to feel the impact as our neighbors in Central Florida, which, by the way, let's keep it in our prayers because it's going to be very, very bad in that area. These certainly serve as a training of what we can do as a city when a storm or weather conditions like the one that potentially we will be facing can happen…”

“Thank you mayor. First of all the things our administration and legal team for making these happen as well. This has been going on for since February of 2023 so to be here and start pointing fingers and blaming each other, we know it's not going to resolve the problem. It's like me saying here, blame it to Mayor Levine Cava or our county commissioner, JC Bermudez, which at the end, if you think about it, that's why they represent us. We have county commissioner, we have a mayor, and to be fair, Mayor Levine Cava, since August of 2023, a year ago, She has been recommending the airport West. So…”

“So it will be unfair for people to come here and criticize them, especially the leadership, which at the end is the administration as well. Because since day one, they have been on top of this. Not only the legal team, the expertise as well, the environmental expertise, the community especially, because I personally have been in over six town hall meetings organized by residents that are sitting here. So, they're in that particular road over there in the background. So and they know who they are. So to be here and start going back and or hear comments about lack of leadership or lack of the…”

“Thank you, Mayor. I just want to add something else. Yes, by me saying that if you meet next week and for us to get an update, of course, I'm anticipating that we're gonna have to come back and approve this resolution. I'm gonna tell you why. For those of us that were the last county commissioners, to hear from county commissioners after a year that they still need time to review, to get more information, Asking the mayor for and her administration to get more details after a year That tells me that they're not gonna change their mind in a week So for me, they're pretty much laughing on us…”

“I actually place a motion. But before I place a motion, I would like to say that I'm also in shock because we had had different conversations as well. I was not gonna be in support of any modifications to the agreement or the salary because as you stated, it has been an unbelievable year for Doral when it comes to city managers and administration. Same reason why Part of these Council terminated Barbie Hernandez. Similar reasons why miss Brooks decided not to apply for. These that position the city manager's position. So it's unbelievable to hear from. Our city manager that. Part of these…”

“Because when you hear those comments less than three months ago, and now to hear exactly what happened and the reasons why we're having this meeting, I'm honestly no surprise. So I place a motion. Certainly for you to stay the 90 days without any changes, because at the end of the day, I don't I don't think that you or whoever comes doesn't deserve to go through this.”

“Thank you, Mayor. I also want to take this opportunity to commend the Parks Department for the hard work to make Doral Central Park a reality. Now we have a park, and I want to say thank you. I know a lot of people have put a lot of time and effort. Lazaro, thank you so much, sir. And Erin and everybody that was involved. And certainly to our police department as well, because they have been part of this process when it comes to safety and the opening of the park. And speaking on that, I would like to suggest to have maybe a park ranger on site, but full time instead of rotating the park…”

“Thank you. First of all, I want to acknowledge some of the incredible work of our community advocates, such as, and some of them are present here, and I know Councilwoman Porter is recognizing as well, Cesar, Sue is here, Selma, residents like any other resident that has been, they have been working on this since day one. So I want to thank you for that. And they have hosted so far, and I'm saying this because it's important for them to be recognized.

“Thank you, Mayor. As you might know, on November 5th of this year, Florida voters will decide on Amendment 3. This amendment seeks to legalize no medical personal use of marijuana products and accessories for adults age 21 and older. The amendment allows adults to possess, purchase, and use marijuana products and accessories for personal consumption. by various methods, including smoking and ingestion. Medical marijuana treatment centers and other state licensed entities will be permitted to acquire, cultivate, process, manufacture, sell, and distribute these products as well. I recommend…”

“No, I just want to comment on it. I mean, my position is clear. I don't mind saying that I oppose to Amendment 3, and I believe the residents should know that as well. I mean, it's not a matter of what we're going to do after November 5th. I think that it is important for us to take a stand and say yes. I oppose, and that's the stand that I'm taking today. I'm not going to change my mind between now and November 5th. Yes, of course, we're going to have to deal with this after November 5th, but I think the intention is for more residents to be aware of this amendment, the potential…”

“Thank you, Mayor. For Over 10 years now, Venezuelans have suffered political oppression, torture, and even extrajudicial murder for voicing their political dissatisfaction with Nicolás Maduro regime. For me, it's more than 10 years, actually. I always like to say 20, 24 years now, including Hugo Chávez as well. As you know, on July 28 of this year, Venezuelans had an opportunity to turn out and vote for a new leader, And they did. Overwhelmingly, the members reflect that Emundo Gonzalez won the July 28, 2024 election. However, Nicolás Maduro, as expected, has refused to accept the results and…”
