“I just want to make sure you put on the record.”
“The emergency motion for injunctive relief. What is the next steps moving forward?”
“I just want to make sure you put it on the record because the media asks. I want to make sure that we have the appropriate information on the record from the city attorney. All right, moving on. Thank you very much. Yes.”
“Thank you. Thank you. All right, moving on to Item E3.”
“Thank you. I'm happy you brought this up because I've been meaning to speak with the manager about potentially just embarking on a study. If you go through the city of Miami, for example, adjacent to Merrick Park, where all the warehouses are. That's the city of Miami. I go to the gym there. When I'm running through that area, used to have a major issue with the roll-off dumpsters in the alleys. Used to be, it was an epic nightmare. You had illegal dumping. You had the roll-offs all through the alleys. Something interesting that I noticed last month that was implemented, I don't know if it…”
“Yeah, because that way you'll know where those dumpsters have to be, and they have to be placed back in there, and those fences have to be maintained. I'll take some pictures of it in the morning when I go to the gym. And I'll send you some pictures, but if you get a chance just right by the Douglas station in that area Those warehouses are you'll see all all those warehouses now No longer have their dumpsters basically free and clear in the alley roaming the alley being rolled out and sometimes you'll see them in different areas Because you know when they clean them out. They don't put them…”
“But it's an interesting way. It's an interesting way. I'll take some pictures of the...”
“I'm going to take some pictures tomorrow so you can see them. Some of them are, some of them, if they have to be in the alley because, for example, it's a small warehouse and you have no choice, they don't have parking spaces, they have it all the way against the back of the warehouse with, you know, probably about this much sticking out of the wall and it's one of those smaller containers. The bigger the container obviously the bigger the enclosure. But at my gym what they did was it's a bigger container so what they have, they took one entire spot. They required them to put it there. Again,…”
“I'll share some pictures of that. And if you have a chance, just drive by, literally, next to Merrick Park, in that warehouse district.”
“On the back of Countach. Right there, around that area. Okay. Thank you, by the way. I appreciate that. Sorry I took over. You brought something up to my mind that I've been meaning to talk to the manager about.”
“Thank you very much. Good job. Mr manager. I want to thank you 1st and foremost. We've been chasing this property for a long time again. It's another testament to your hard work here in the city. I brought this property with the previous city manager who was here and we didn't purchase it, which I thought was a shame at that point. We made some other great purchases. but we didn't purchase this property. But this, again, finishes closing off the loop in the entire block. We control our destiny at the end of the day. And again, this is an asset that is in the best place in the state of…”
“Yes. Mayor Lago? Yes. Thank you. Moving on to item F2.”
“Before you move it, do we have any public comment?”
“Madam Vice Mayor, you had a question or a statement or something?”
“All right. So basically, the program will be frozen and stopped in three months, right?”
“All right, so we have a motion and a second.”
