The shell of recreation Center, constructed escape Park and pump track complete, the amphitheater vertical elements erect that and the aquatics facility starting to really take shape. Another major milestone was the topping out of the largest building on the project Which was celebrated to recognize all the hard work. Everyone is putting into Central Park in his tradition on any major project. So it's a better demonstrate the progress made in this past few man, Brief put together side-by-side images for all the parks, the main amenities by all the different phases and Displayed Work associated with phase 1 and which the majority of underground infrastructure from electrical to water and sewer has been is also much of the sidewalk has been poured on the north and south sides of the project. This is light I'll showcase work associated with the phase 2 starting in June. When the state park contract concrete was completed followed by July and when the remaining concrete work was completed for the skate park. And by August, the site work the sidewalk work was well underway. As well as the picnic pavilions structures, all being erected in September. Domain transfer the amphitheater was listed in bold that in as well. And you can see it there on the right-hand side. So moving interface for here you can see the cricket recreation center is involved and how it was evolved to the months from June through the member. The rec center will be dried in which in construction means no outside arrows entering the building and all exterior, waterproofing has been installed including the roofing membrane. This will allow for interior drywall and finish work to be in. So in your work, not requiring, the building to be dried in has been ongoing such as structuralism your overhead, lambing work In preparation for mechanical and electrical work. Also fireproofing and thermal insulation continuing phase for, you can see how much has been achieved at all the tools as well as the aquatic support links. It is really taking shape including restrooms, locker, and soon the elevators grandstand. So from the world through the end of the year, this is the for costs. We can expect to see the amphitheater stage in vertical canopy complete which actually if you look from 7080 seventh I believe they just with the canopy. Final elevation rates being establish recreation center roofing and glazing complete aquatic walls, concrete begin to report which they began last week and the majority of Pavilion and Cyprus from work.

Our next item is item 8C. >>Presentation Doral Police Department on Marked Police Vehicles >> Thank you Madam Clerk it was requested by a member of the police advisory board and if he could just hold this item to make the Council meeting and he will be here by 11 o'clock. So if everyone is okay with that we can move it to the right before Mayor support? Okay. Awesome. Will move on to the discussion item >> Item 9A, 23-5300 A resolution of the Mayor and the City Council of the City Of Doral, Florida approving a settlement Agreement between the City of Doral Costa Capital LLC, Doral Costa Manager, LLC and Oasis at Doral Manager regarding SB102 Moratorium. (Ordinance No. 2023-04), Providing for Implementation, providing for effective date. This was deferred from the 927 Council meeting. >> Thank you Madam Clerk Madam City Attorney? >> As you know, December 13, the City Council unanimously adopt a six-month moratorium on exact thing a process any development applications related to the live local act which is also known as SB 102. During which time the City would adopt ordinances and process procedures to implement the act prior to the adoption of the moratorium. The City receive an application for development that is commonly referred to as the oasis. The application of the only the application the City received prior to the adoption of the moratorium and pursuant to the local act, the representatives of the oasis filed written objections to the cities moratoriums And have indicated that they will take legal action against the City. Should they not be exempted from the moratorium, I have been communicating with Council for the developer and in conjunction with them, A settlement agreement was proposed to avoid the expense and burden of litigation. We are Bible developers agreeing to comply with certain obligations for a term of 30 months attached to the agenda item is the settlement agreement in paragraph four it provides all the comp obligations that you would be agreeing to. >> There will be no public comment on this item. Unless it is Council wants to hear from the attorney for the applicants that are the settlement? In that case yes. >> Good morning America vice Mayor, councilmembers, City Attorney Merino City Manager, it is pleasure to be here today. I'm Vanessa Marjorie with the law firm of: date at 701 Brickell Ave. It's been a long time working on this project and as you know, almost 11 months and during this time, the developer had an open line of communication With the community and staff. In addition to the City coordinated efforts, we have a multiple for meetings with the community, including the residents of Costa del Sol. And the last of among others. I have personally attended each of these meetings and the outreach programs have been successful. The developer has been personally available to speak with the community members and our clients. And again, it has acted in good faith to make sure that the community and the neighbors, this settlement agreement Is a badge of commitment to them and this is all about time for us. I want to make that very clear, there is nothing in it for the developer other than time, he is getting a little less than five months of what is remaining on the moratorium. And as you may appreciate for a project of the scale time is of the essence, we need to recognize the community, needs to recognize the developer is going above and beyond the call of duty. This is how successful inharmonious communities get bill which is the goal here. Unity has expressed their support for the project is being amended in those plans are being finalized. There almost cook and we urge you not to decline this opportunity to move forward. Thank you. >> Thank you and any comments from Council of questions? >> I just want to understand why it is this item in the morning agenda not in the afternoon so our residents will have the opportunity to be here and express any concern or and have any questions like us before? >> August in it was requested by customers because she wasn't going to be here in the evening session so she knew that item was differed from the zoning meeting. So that's about the could be aware of these items in the morning. >> I am not going to be here this evening and I wanted to make sure to give Megan and put my vote on this. I just want to make sure very quickly. Community knows that in many ways, we have found ways to fight back And do things the right way and try to have a healthy control growth for our City. Considering everything, I think this is a good compromise. I do want to make sure though that we continue as a City to lead the fight against us. Some of my colleagues may not feel but Actually we all should be leading this type of collaboration Because we are still corroborating in working with the developer despite as we want to which is really tied our hands. And so for me, it is a way for us to set some sort of precedent hopefully for other cities to follow that despite this law that really does restrict that restrict our ability to control our own growth that we can still work together and we should work together. So for me I think it is as good as it is going to get at this point without going back to Tallahassee and demanding that this is SB 102 and it gets fixed so much. I urged the residents out here to engage with their legislators. >> I really appreciate your time and understanding and listening to your voice. And to the team also and try to The entire development. Even though we don't have stipulated anytime from not in the county and I knew that they're working on that. Because we have here sometimes, Some of the developments are having approve almost 10 years and are taking more than that to finish or not even half. I just wanted to make sure that even though I know that we spoke, I really feel comfortable seeing black and white in writing. Even though we are taking 13 months to accomplish other development. I just wanted that black and white and after 30 days, you can come back. And I wanted and say you wanted to amend this instead of going beyond that, Because it is something that the law protect me. I really appreciate that you're doing that. If that it would be something that I would like to see reflect that within if you agree. This is something that I will be in support of it. >> Okay. Does that complete your comments? With all due respect, this is not an open forum for response and answered at this time, what I'm going to do is understanding your request For public comment. Public comment is from the beginning. However if this is consensus to open up for public comment and I will allow the public comment. >> I am favor for that. >> I will open for public comment. >> I want to make a clarification. The restriction under the settlement of demand is 30 months in that time. Restriction is enough time to get aside land approval to go through the permitting process, to get the construction financing in place and start construction. The developer has showed significant commitment as I said and is giving up 30 months to go and gain less than five. So I think that should be an indication of how serious he is to move forward. In the meantime, understanding is the City is working with some text amendments to fix their code to address concerns that has been raised as a result of the Senate Bill 102 legislation And those code amendments based on information that has been made available to the public include FVR restrictions, additional set box and so forth for development, That will be implementing the Senate Bill 102 density and height and if it's near residential communities. So if the developer wishes to amend the application beyond the 30 months, then he will have to comply with local restrictions in place at the time . >> That's not what I'm asking, I don't want you to extend it, I mean that's not the intent of what I'm asking is because if you could please and I'm pretty sure that you understand what I am asking you because You already have I said shown it a good face and I do like I said before and I do appreciate everything that in the effort and to be able to sit down and into compromising to go to a middle ground. But if could be reflected, just on those buildings that are facing (INAUDIBLE) so that they will stay with the aids. I am asking and asking for nothing else not extension or anything like that, it is just can be also be reflected will and Mr. up and we are agree. >> So if I understand correctly, you're asking first restriction and propensity for the buildings that faced the residential community on that residential community. >> Yes and in and I do know our department are working on making some changes and see how were going to be able to work late on and am asking to Ms. our and he will consider just those bills in buildings and phasing coastal. That is all again. >> I mainly committed to set backs and we have designed the project according to those setbacks given what is allowed under the statute. Given the future restrictions, that will be implemented by the code, we don't need to be necessary. >> So Mr. Robert, you don't see that and also something that can be reflected within the agreement only for those building >>[ CROSSTALK ] >> Yes let us discuss with the client if not I understand if you need more time and we can defer it to the afternoon meeting and I want him to really consider that. I don't think that will be an issue in and I mean you proven that he is doing to do on the stories and I just wanted to have it reflected within Because it is something happens later on. >> Why don't you go ahead and speak with your client and everyone will take a public comment on this item. Please come up. Yes please. State your name and address. >> Good morning Mayor and Council. My name is Miguel macaroni and I live in 40 NW. 41st St. It wasn't mentioned because the only residents are in (INAUDIBLE) because on the coastal just a golf course, Our concern, first of all, I want to thank Ms. Abell because she ran to a meeting in my community, in my house which is 30 feet from the project. Thank you and he accepted the proposal so that the way the last affect our community especially. But our concern is similar to what the councilwoman said. It is what happened after the 30 months period. When we bought our properties, we never thought that we have to face a 14 as the maximum allowed for 10 story buildings, 10 feet or 30 feet from our bedroom windows. It is really beside the rest of the impact traffic. Particularly the building closest to the project is going to be affect directly in privacy, But we agree Because they agree with the set back 77 feet something like that. That is okay, we agree with God, we accept the our proposals which is okay. The problem is as you told what happened after that, That is our concern. You are in better place that we are to solve, you are our representatives and in the best under better place to do that. So to solve the future as I told you, We can project the project as a whole because something is going to be built there. But we have to try to minimize the effect, a story buildings are better than 14 story buildings not only for us but for the whole community because in terms of traffic and whatsoever. That is our concern, our future is our concern. >> Thank you sir. Do you have anybody else? >> Louis Moore battery Gaza, We have the same incident back in 2001 and I believe us car, we have the incident in (INAUDIBLE) Park were between the cemetery, Another attorney with (INAUDIBLE), they wanted to build an eight story and I rallied up the neighborhood in Brought it down to two stories. If the attorneys aren't aware of traditional neighborhood development, it should be an option for you. But for those of you who don't know what is SB 102, I didn't know and apparently it helps me, The home last, it is building materials used to construct affordable housing unit funded through the FH FC. It creates a new tax donation program to make. I am thinking smart cities because you can have certain tax favor men sent by corporate taxpayers up to $100. What is program? The State Department incentive loan, so basically, We are having programs come in and they just document There. Because they've got a program coming into being in homeless and workforce. Oscar knows and the rest of you should learn very quickly. You're going to have this people really upset . Now I'm speaking from a place of where of been homeless for five years, and all of you, I spoke to all of you to resign, resign, resign. Thank you. >> Thank you. Any other comments at this time? Seeing none, will close the public comments. Do you have any additional comments before we move on the discussion? >> Yes, I just want to reiterate what will work with the neighbors, the set Restrictions, height restrictions in the plans. They have expressed their support, we are committed without clearly the developer does not want to waste time moving forward. That is the only incentive here, we just don't feel comfortable putting a restriction on the land that is going to go on forever. Thank you. >> Any other comments from Council? I am very disappointed, I mean I just wanted we separately only have the building are facing costs and nothing else to a floor and I do understand all the setback , I know everything that you have worked and my intent is not to delay you or anything because your business you're a businessman. I do understand even though I'm not a developer. I just wanted that to reflect this again without facing the residence and nothing else. >> Mayor, Commissioners, City manager, City Attorney, thank you very much for hearing out all the discussion. We hope in having numerous conversations, almost as a contrast with all the neighbors trying to please everyone. And I will tell you we are committed to the eighth floor, the only reason we are signing a settlement agreement if every one of the proposal goes forward is 44 months, we wouldn't give up, the 30 months of time, if it wasn't for the four months, We are committed for the Eight floors, within the next 2 1/2 weeks from our settlements and be able to start construction as soon as possible. So we are here without much of a benefit, we are here to make up for months. We can submit the site plan based on what we all agreed now. We are a family based business. We want to have a great neighbors, we heard you. I would think it is injustice to your Not vote for this when we've done everything possible, modify the site plan, the set box, we place it within the settlement agreement to agree with Costa del Sol, We put on the settlement date floor, we have attached exhibit showing the site plan with all the neighbors. Name it, we targeted all the communities around so we could hear what issues where. And today you don't hear anything from everyone, you just hear from the president of the neighborhood. I urge you to really vote positively to this settlement because informants, it just stays with the site plan we were to submit at which we do prefer. We want to appease the neighbors, we want to have good the relationship to the City neighborhood. That is all we are asking. You have my commitment that we plan on doing eight floors and will submit at the site plan exactly what it is. Rumor I personally love the City of Doral. We are very excited to work to the City and to integrate well with the surroundings. >> Thank you. I don't want any misunderstanding, you know we are standing in the beginning because of what is reflected or what and what is the solution of the beginning and we have the conversation. Also we have the opportunity to talk to you over like I said, I'm very late for we have this opportunity and all the effort and the time that this has cost you. One of the reasons investing the City is because you value all the work and what the City represents. So I just wanted to ask you if that could be reflected on writing and I understand and I believe that you're going to keep up your word because you have shown what had been done. But you know as a business plan, I understand to that everything is in writing it stays regardless. That is the only reason that as I am asking you to consider to be reflect. I am not against the project or how it is stated right now. 4.on me you don't have to worry because you have to work with the residents. I just want to ask you if that could reflected. >> Correct. First I appreciate all the Accessibility you have with the commissioners. Listening to the neighbors because I know you have a lot of positive feedbacks from the final conclusion. We do have to understand that the settlement agreement has been Written up by every Commissioner here in the mere. It is being negotiated over and over again and we started with six months rent restriction and a 24 month and recently it went to 30 months listening to the public and listening to all the comments. I will value our commitment is to submit site plan hopefully 1 1/2 weeks and disproves site plan because as of hundred thousand dollars to correct because the City have a very detail. Were going back to redoing our plans based on what we are going to. You have to understand our commitment. >> My understanding is why don't you want to have a black and white? >>[ CROSSTALK ] >> I am just saying by the time the construction is being completed that is what I'm asking. >> We are committed, >>[ CROSSTALK ] >> I mean by the laws change, constant change, we have made many different amendments this different site plan. It's just by the time being that you complete on the south part, I am guessing by the time. If that is saying our City Attorney can be reflected that is all. >> Our commitment is in the Southwest building, Wilson. Site plan for eight floors, will submit for the permit and we intend to build it. One other question, they said if someone purchased the property, the property is not for sale but in the case, or settlement agreement says it runs with the land Not just the developer and owner, so anybody will purchase it >>[ CROSSTALK ] >> This is not a place To have a conversation. This is not the place to have the conversation. Excuse me, one moment. I am going to move this item. Two after 9D. Were going to move on to the next item, after we talk about, to tell you what, we're going to do the next item which will be the police presentation because I believe the member of the public came and were going to take a 10 minute recess. We are going to go to the City Attorney and if there's going to be a commitment to that, we count quick and come back for this without a debate. This is not a place to negotiate with that you're going to conclude this comment at this time >> I just want to clarify I did he spoke with (INAUDIBLE). I have talk with both of them just to clarify that. >> This discussion has been taken before at this time, we are going to include this conversation and let's move on to the police presentation. But I'm City Attorney, can you get with (INAUDIBLE). Let's go to the police vehicle presentation. >>Item 8C, presentation of police Doral. >> Chief before you start, Mr. Price, I'm going to allow you very quick because I know we are working quickly for public comments. >> This case is not public comments and representing the police advisory board and I want to confirm to the City Council that we met three times. The crew that initiate that was invited to the first keeping about reasoning the vehicle and ran with the leadership of the Police Department, we reviewed the vehicle as the board a couple of times And we suggest that some adjustments There was some conversation and we think we are done with that process and we are happy with getting to an agreement. And I think that the product are going to present which originally from them and the ones playing with white trains and so on. >> Thank you. Chief Lopez >> Good morning Mayor, vice Mayor, Council, Cities administration. The following is going top be a presentation that involves the redesigning of the police vehicle. Starting off with the work group that was established, vehicle redesign workgroup many of them here involved in process including the City police departments, police officers for of all ranks. Command staff members and equally as important. Many of the work groups are here for attendance. It is important for us to get together and seek their input and the line of vehicle that they ultimately felt comfortable driving with. At the end of the day, I do not drive that vehicle and their opinions matter to me personally as the chief of police department is here. Some of the pictures that you see there and actually you have some of their with their peer and one of them was going over the initial rendering of the vehicle. We know that the police vehicles is a symbol of safety for our City. We know that as a City with an excellent brand and reputation, we felt the need to have a vehicle that was reflective of what the current police vehicle was designed in 2013 about 10 years ago. And that was the transition from the original one that was his established in 2008. Cut was blue and gold and this vehicle that was established in 2013 was in line with some of the other police And other vehicles in the City pertaining to public works and things that nature. And this picture, it is-- The black and white color scheme is more favorable accessible and easily identifiable Although many departments have transitioned to the black and white vehicle. Over the weekend, I was at the conference in California and the entire California Highway Patrol that many are familiar with the show chips back in the days, To complete the transition to a black and white vehicle as well as the San Diego Police Department where we are Going to differ. So as you see some of these vehicles that are displayed from other agencies, They do not have necessary to see all the City. So we felt comfortable having the seal of the City on the side and on each side of the police vehicle. The traditional City of Doral please dispatch position on both sides of the vehicle as well and it is an easy to identify vehicle. The number on all sides and top of the vehicle as well. So in terms of police presence, pancreas, visibility and easily identifiable both by the community as a police car to work Remote police presence and crime. An hour priority is specific to deter crime and that is why this vehicle in part to our high visibility campaign that we are currently operating under helps. The entire group met almost 10 times. They've done a lot of legwork. We are able to have a value input. We didn't just do this design because to look cool we've probably have researched. And maybe law enforcement entity in terms of research and that is not Noticeable. It is easy to detect and it is best for collision avoidance. The black and white cars again are better detect because they have visually contrasting colors not present on the standard white police cars that we currently have. Our PSA vehicles, our Park Rangers in our public works vehicles, you see that there's a distinct difference. I often talk about the case where we had an arrest for a funny crime and The criminal said that he committed the crime because he thought that the police vehicle which was right next to the Was in a police vehicle and that was actually a case where we had made an arrest for catalytic converter over in the overnight hours in the hotel area of our community. So for us hearing that kind of heat home because we were thinking along the same lines but we never thought that we were to get the support of it by our criminal as a force of multiplier. These are some of the agencies that are in our surrounding areas and some in our community, a little farther away but Whether it is a police department, highly a Police Department and highly school board Police Department or even Miami Beach Police Department, the black and white or some variance Is seen. So these are the cars that drive most of our City. It plans the land helping hand in terms of deterring crime many years ago and over 10 years ago with our feet of police motorcycles they are currently black and white. We have about 12 police motors and in keeping our communities safe. This morning they assisted with the traffic flow and for our prayer event and have been black-and-white in those vehicles for over 10 Years St. that we have highlighted the most recent edition for childhood cancer awareness month force member is depicted. We have our community outreach vehicle, we have our recruitment Vehicle to name a few. That concludes our presentation and wanted to share with our amazing and seek your input and I know they have seen it around. I wanted to do it a more in a public setting in support of for branding of our City. Thank you >> Thank you chief Lopez. City Manager? At this time, will open the public comments from the Council. >> Thank you Mayor, I just want to thank the chief and the entire department because you guys in the last 10 months have done a lot for the community, and the residents are saying that. I just want to thank Mr. Pier, because of your involvement, yes and that really makes a difference when you have The involvement, the community working with the department and I am glad and were making this change. I think that was needed as well. It really makes a difference and seeing other municipalities they are doing what they have done in creating that awareness in the presence. Especially at this stage that we are And as a community, I think it is important to show that presents. Speaking of that presence, there's more At least in my case, I'm getting that feedback and data opportunities to share this with you and the rest of the department. I truly appreciate. Certainly you came to support. Just want to say thank you. >> Thank you sir >> Councilman? >> As you know my concern was the concern was the budget. We thank you for that. I want to thank the opportunity to ask you and everyone in the department to please be vigilant and we know we are going through some tough times and don't take anything for granted. Just be careful please, we all have families and we want to see you safe. So please be up there with your four eyes instead of two. Thank you. >> I actually want to share the same words. Checking them and I really love the design and I want to clarify their safety. White ones are the number one. This is for general knowledge, 47% more accidents just to put it there. We can have the there in your presentation. One thing is that I would love to see if it is possible with the design if also you can bring this to the communities that the Doral, the Sweetwater in within, I think there's other two cities so they have the name and within the City, little better. >> Any other comments? Others quickly say, I very much like the design intermediate it's about the visibility. I think we are continuing to get the sense of presence and I think we needed to increase his presence and actually show and people notice that there is more vehicle out on the road that there is a consistent monitoring and visibility of police. As you said also the crime and so for those reasons, I'm thinking that these changes are prudent of what we are doing moving forward as is the City. I'm very pleased for the design and I think it is symbolic Of a Police Department to traditional but modern and something that be proud of. I love the police department in our City in a great input for them and we very much appreciate not only allowing the citizens to great recommendation. That speaks volumes of the leadership style that you exemplify. Thank you to you and the City Manager's office for taking on this and running with it and making our collective voice of four residents of work police in our community. We want people to know that in this community, we are here and the police department is here to protect them. Thank you for that. I look forward to seeing the change. With that, we have30 seconds. >> Two things, for the budget perspective, the chief is something smarter than the previous organization we had because they are doing the rear rendering in-house which is less costly because There was a comment on the budget session and also the downtime of the vehicle and officers waiting for the To be retrofitted. So kudos for that because you think about the boss and let's make the Vendor, and we have the facility now and I will also speed up the time to change the vision not to have the visual difference for six months but maybe for four or whatever stretches But it compresses the timeline to have a unified new image. Of course vehicles are the at the end of the life and were not going to last money that is going out door shortly because of the managers they help and for the comment about Doral, Yes at the back because when you're driving, you only have a certain amount of seconds and certain distance see that. >> Thank you for those comments. >> This was just a presentation and we just get some feedback and we appreciate your feedback and just wanted to thank the chief and the police officer for all your hard work. >> Okay thank you chief. All right, let's move on to item 9B and give a City attorney a couple more minutes. >> Item 9B. 23-5321 A resolution of the Mayor and the City Council of the City of Doral, Florida Adopting the City of Doral "Mayor and Councilmember initiated events policy" providing for implementation and providing for an effective date. >>It's a policy that creates $5000 rental budget for each office. Pursuant to which councilmembers can determine the city facilities just as fun. And to cover the rentals. The policy includes implementations you can see for the competing purposes must be open to the public servant municipal projects we cannot circumvent this organize for example. And stop report would be limited to set up an impact on people's ensure and much like any other person is rented the city facility. I would just indicate that there's going to be one change if there's other request adapted and amended and that's for sixMember of the consumers candidate for elected office will be prorated with these hosting events this is consistent with the language is not clear just amended to clearly if any again after running for an elective office to cannot use the facilities under policy. >>Seminar tour >>Motion. Mr. second >>Second. >>Thank you mayor I just have a quick comment and I shared his conversation with the city attorney do city managers I'm okay with the policy. The suggestion that I have that I would like to my colleagues to think about for a second step when it comes Advertising what ever to come up as an event is that if it's our office events the one we sponsor and waitingThe promotional part if the city is going to be the one as well as advertising and promoting that event. To see if that can be either review by public first before it consulted on the city web social media platform. Or if it's going to be up to us as an office just advertise on ours on social media. The reason I'm saying this because we're doing waiting the art. And if you are asking the city to advertise it the city it means our city event but it comes out the CT event.That can be review byEither public affair. >>What ever is created which an individual we would not be reviewing any of that marketing material just because an of going to the fact that the city staff perspective and directing staff I prefer not putting stuff in a position whether telling someone they can do something. This is what the elected official's office just putting forward which is posting with our stories it will not be posted on actual. It will be a story is therapeutic data universe if nobody not . They view H elected officials marketing official but with the staff. You have to correct or disagree whatever the case is right now under section 8 justice whatever is given to the public affairs they just be posting at the point. Any other comments? Were living with amended section 6.If there's no other comments please call the roll motion to approve >>[ CALLING ROLL ] Motion passes. Thank you very much. >>City attorney Councilman do it at the minute recess? If I may just think it would be helpful. If it's not perpetuity what is to ask because there's provide military Martha's Vineyard. Clarification under this image. No problem. >>Let's take a 10 minute recess. Motion to recess. >>Second Were assuming the meeting.Please read item back into the record. Thank you Madam Clerk will lead my very quickly weighed and this is just a reminder. Photos of conduct in the city Council. Section 2 " 73 rows of conduct of business one recognition should be given with premier presiding officer when we recognize the member being pursued. The mayor showed on the border in the courtroom and respective points of origin and preference. Two other members in the shelter questions of orders of capital no member may speak more than five minutes consecutively. Except that the rate of Mayor the discussion of the mayor is final. Unless the majority of the city council votes on the contrary. A member may speak second time on any question only after all members have been given opportunity to speak. The mayor showed a great debate and any other manner that's not necessary the prorated rights of all person express. Financial stability served insofar as possible that any presentation to point of interruption of the speaker disrupting the time keeping process and duplicating runs of the speaker and depleting immigrants the speaker makeover. Any member shall permitted to speak in a matter whether presiding officer and member as my abusive world remark remember the city Council should limit debate on teacher except as otherwise provided herein and member engages in abusive comment. I just want to remain please respect the presiding officer so that everyone has an opportunity to speak and I just want to make those reminders before we move on to the city. >>If any thank you for giving us opportunity to work and discuss with the councilwoman and the developer and this gospel. I think the intent now getting further clarification she was seeking a greater commitment from the developer as to what's continues agreement. I sent a be another 10 months but perhaps not an perpetuity there is really no way that lead to put that in the settlement agreement and a fashion that is envisioning. Absent the restriction perpetuity " the developer is unwilling to do. As already expressed bridges to again reiterate this is a settlement which would be a compromise it would be for a period of 13 months the obligation are set in paragraph 48 stories. With those setbacks and integrating the market units for the affordable units in complying with all the procedures of the city's going according" ability for the affordability requirement. The alternative that now is the weighted dormitory expires they could do to 14 stories under the act and other alternative is inserting litigation again this is per compromise and only pay for the period of 13 months. This contained in a settlement agreement. >>Thank you Martin city attorney is there any new comments? From his counsel.Would you like to make a comment ? >>Thank you so muchFor us to really also the residence. That would be affected withinI'm not saying affected in a negative way. I really appreciate the conversation that we have and that will be able. To clarify and all the city attorney for clarifying. As you know I was looking for was my duty. Some elected official to look after the well-being of her residence but also to embraceUS a business owner raise being development because development also also be and benefits if it is within their will be looking for moving were community also appreciate a commitment that you have in helping beautifying Really cool and all the other areas. That's great. I don't have any other further questions I don't know if the chair will allow you to and a comments if you have any. And we have data quote for later on. >>Any other comments from counsel?Do you have any final comments?Just final comment first and foremost thank you councilwoman for meeting with us. We had an opportunity to clarify the concern also want to clarify in the record that you have communicate with counsel throughout the process. And he confirmed that the developer she is very involved. Without you being said as Valerie articulated very well development obligations are under section 4. We are Here today at 30 miles but restarted at 16 months. There are property rights that we need to be mindful of. And so this is where we are meeting the CT in the middle. And disorder concessions were willing to make so we hope to get your footing support. >>Thank you. Please come up and make a comment. Weekly. >>Good morning. As I mentioned to September 30 meeting. If you like progress has been made we hope the came settlement agreement that benefits both party until then we have not much to say. Listen to the concerns close and other communities we hope that the final project would be something that will fix the rule. >>Thank you. I will make my final comment. First of all I want to thank everybody was participating on all the members of the community all the Association I have a chance last night to speak with a couple of other presidents associations around the area making sure that we were aware of this item being on the morning agenda. I want to be in the afternoon I did mention my meeting with respect to Councilman press one to preferred items Information and recognizing it is important for us work to be here we deferred this item as of last month because there is changes. The applicant made those concessions one of which extended the time and two was transfer of the property within this Time period or sale that the settlement would be available for transfer those are important enough as is happy about this. I think we made that very clear. We put a moratorium in place will be able to what he could to say quarter community with the compliance of the law. Unfortunately The 11 o'clock I have something that is affected our community and affected communities understated personally where several phone calls and several mayors around the state they have one just two days ago with the mayor of The berry. Florida we are all reuniting to be in Tallahassee next month.The advocate for changes for this bill that will help meet the intent of the bill which is again at about one. However Not restricting and preempting cities from able to fulfill this variation and have control the responsible. This all we are asking for to be able to have a say undergrowth that consistent will impact our communities. There's so much water is to build than just their preempted areas. There's so much left to beDescribe to have clarification on the financing part and how it impact at their other room is concerning us as well. This is not residence infrastructure any services that will know how to provide that We will not we may not have you item all around but it's very concerning to me as you grow at this for community and so I'm. Ted and I invited everyone today with us with all he has hit you advocate for days changes. I've invited the community we need to get the best I have member heart of a community to go up to speak to our legislature let's do it. I think it's very important but importantly as they stated before this legislator title and with the authorities that were within our rights with this bill. With that being said I'm putting moratorium as opportunity to work with the staff we have a workshop here which some of us came to be able to put our input on the record as to we would like to see to createThose safeguards and protect our community and our staff is diligently working to be able to create restrictions that are unreasonable to protect our community. With that being said that settlement has a lot of opportunity to stick with the developer does already have been relative application to termsThat would here to all of those changes that would be set forth in our code and relates strictly restricting their ability to build as high as other than the law allows them so. So as I said . This was the middle ground we may not be happy with it. But unfortunately it just occurred we without and Mr. revenue stream transmitted several members of the community trying to comparative compromise. And we would all love for is to be different but nested tickets were in. I have a question for district attorney and religious have stated areas want to be very clear on the record. What happens five months And moratorium was lifted. Also be Rebound of the settlement agreement. What would happen in five months moratorium? It will be entitled under dark 240 stores. So the overall entry there's also 30 most will be submitting site plan and everything needed to proceedAs we ask. Which would be the age stories this workbook plans keeping all the requirements that will sopping peripheral residence.It needs to be very clear that we don't approve the settlement agreement 30 then in five months they can proceed with the original site plan if you choose. >>That is correct. Taking the context of the settlement agreement and litigation. Which is the city's attorney my primary concern and opposing settlement agreement is to avoidShe recommendations us on your opinion is to the responsible thing to do is to accept the truthWhich have been most given confessions to move forward and make sure the city doesn't enter into legal and that we are safeguarding the residence. The other thing is to request that were made we all made this request I think every single one of us ask this the legal team for the applicant as well as if there is restriction of the heights of the buildings in perpetuity. And it is all explained that was unreasonable restriction. With the property rights. So understanding that will looking back and forth several times. We just work on the records. I guess keep pushing right now. Our process inner-city when you submit an obligation of last obligation is moving city attorney application is life for 24 months. When it was submitted. At another time plaintiff committed to memory but once Sibron has been approved then it's valid for 24 months. There is no application process the planning and zoning department. If it's not if he doesn't if it's not active for 24 minute they will forward an application that it basically does. The 24 months. Which you applicant would have to come in and meet the code at that time. Permit the restriction at the time. That being said after starting up My thought processes as well we have to work in Tallahassee to get this change. African 12 month and working. On 30 miles were not getting it done. Which means the law prevails. However if you do get that changed witches were obligating for we get it in the next 12 to 24 months. But if it's side prances for the reformers and it is not active desktop move forward any application would have to meet the terms of the law. So were working together to get the law amended so that we can have. This paper may determine to mouse is crucial because it gives this counsel enough time to go out and advocate along with other cities. The eight change we need to authority for the application became forward thought have this authority. The buildup to decide. So I think it's really reasonable.So I think it's reasonable to be able to ask and will forward something that does give us some safeguard. And again I have some several multiple conversations with the communities in the area understanding our desire to not to serious before but understanding also the restrictions that we have a body and within the law. I said earlier that weHave the power we have the authority within our position appeared. To take the steps to make a stronger and way of thinking that that's what were doing. This is the place where we are. To be able to protect the community to preserve. How will this question for the city attorney Teresa comment made came to me services saying that I would have to. And then the have the complected campus to sit in the record the opinion of myself living as I mentioned. >>No you're not voting for marriage. >>I just want to make sure that what was associated with the record. But I may have a conflict as to be directly benefitOr financially or in favor that I have direct interest. Which mean that I would 14 for anything for the city. >>I in fairness as as this. You're not particularly specifically impacted to similarly situated with all residents along with other associations around the property. So you're one of potentially emergent and resistant more than hundred thousand residential units surrounding area. Because you have a special interest that not have voting conflict. >>Thank you. Being said we had enough discussion on the item. And we would need a motion at this time. >>Motion and second.Madam Clerk please call the roll. Motion to approve >>[ CALLING ROLL ] >>Motion passes. >>Thank you very much. Our small want to item 9 >>Motion passes. >>Thank you very much. Our small want to item 9C. >>Discussion that will change. >>Thank you mayor. As I mentioned in the last two meetings I wanted to bring up the discussion on seeing a potential title change for legislative analyst thatReally reflects the work that you're doing and also eliminates confusion between Chief of Staff and what legislative unrest is so little things that I am asking for right now is one. To avoid confusion on what JV stuff is or who the cheapest office. We eliminate the use of JV stuff from any one of any use within the city Council including for the mayor. And the other is to come up with an in-depth ACT explain and also like I said reflects the duties that are just native elastic. The city manager's office has proposed a couple of typos and I just want to make it clear that the government change the salary it doesn't change the scope of the work at this just is strictly integral change. A name change. I am of the opinion that the executive court coordinator was that really seems like take. I will live it up to my colleagues to also. EveryoneThere's a lot of reference. Please. And then you would add to the mayor city ConseilFebruary.Is there any other comments? Another questionWhen I was reviewing important items public told me that provide one NatWest administration. I have from the Evergreen study. Just want to know if there's something that you suggested you may have >>I think and executed it quit raining but I can it's really Dave preference of office here restarted have to. And again it will be for all of ourRight now because we will other than four major for councilmember General.I will make a point to make a comment so item statuses to make a change that legislative analyst title. Historically the mayor's office have had Chief of Staff. And as a position at Elford first and I came in for me think it would be very unfair to have changed the way persons can establish a shorter legislative analyst request and start understanding what the person does. I actually like the office administrator is one of a better title for them. And says that the administrating office. But the person works in my office and for warriors who always of achievement stop and my personal actuators have a staff member know that they oversee as well. So I think it's it would not be Necessarily consistent. The change. Title of them years position regardless of furniture because the supposition that was offered in anything changing that really is the most going down. I agree that there could be confusion with the legislative analyst. Which is why I like office administrator regresses office administrator to Councilwoman or Councilman and it's a single subtitle that gives a little bit more research.. I think that making a change all of them being executive age is not necessarily conducive to quantifiable work was done.Avon executive board minute coordinator I just think that there is not again recommendation was to make a change legislative analyst. With all due respect procedure under office was our legislative analyst's has been changing the staff and so the ranges are different because there are additional responsibilities accosted by office. I just think it's a little bitIt would be very fair whatever support of changing the legislative analyst tomorrow common position initial fits which I think office administrator gives the pterodactyl. I think that is formalist only.I think it's for the analyst.Adam Conseil honestly you only reason I brought it up because the confusion equates. Because one year cheapest of their and there has been confusion. But they also supervise our administrative aids. At this point. Restoration I brought it up. Because I think giving everyone a clear title I think would be more sense and also registers confusion because there are have beenIn instances where that is happened. But I'm going to leave it to will love to counsel if they if that is not strong enough wishes or strong enough justification of changes this whatever the will of the Gansu says that was just my opinion Members that I think that executive coordinator works well. Since Joseph of older people that they
