Police Chief Dennis Weiner explained that Officer Recio still believed that there was another subject very close by and possibly on the roof; further noting that Officer Recio had easy access to the stairs that lead to the roof of one of the houses where they were located and proceeded to go up with “Drago” and the City of Miami Officer that was assigned to him and Drago; further stating that Officer Recio and “Drago” walked across a neighbor’s roof top, Drago alerted and the second subject was located, resulting in the City of Miami taking the male subject into custody and taking control of the perimeter. In summary, Chief Weiner acknowledged Officer Recio’s keen intuition, along with his recent training at the K9 School, adding that he trusted the signs he read from his partner (Drago) which led to the apprehension of the suspect by his partner (Drago); adding that it was because of such actions that Officer Recio was selected as Officer of the Month, for the month of April 2013].

DISCUSSION ITEMS Commissioner Quesada: Seeing that there are no items from the City Attorney under City Attorney Items, do you have anything you want to mention? City Attorney Leen: I was just going to mention, I was going to do it in the discussion section, but just on the FPL matter, we are still waiting for their final proposal; we’ve got a proposal from them, it’s being sent back it’s not ready yet for you to review, but once again once it’s ready and I’m asking here at this public meeting, I would like to speak with you and advise you and get your advice regarding the FPL matter and so a “Shade Meeting” will be set up in the future and there will be public notice of that at the time, but of course it’s a “Shade Meeting” so a transcript is kept and it only becomes public after the litigation is over. Commissioner Quesada: Sounds good. Thank you so much. Discussion Items Commissioner Keon? Commissioner Keon: I do have an item and I don’t know if it comes under City Attorney or discussion, you can guide me in my newness here. I’d like to talk about it only because I don’t have an opportunity to talk to you about it individually, so we need to talk about it here in the public; and it deals with Ms. Landon, Maria Landon who was the employee who exited the D.R.O.P. and I think it was October of 2012, based on much the issue that we dealt with at the last meeting. She made her plans based on the certification of benefits that she was given before she entered the D.R.O.P. While she was in the D.R.O.P. she was given the same information. She exited the D.R.O.P. believing that was what she was going to get and it wasn’t until December of 2012 after she had exited the D.R.O.P., after she had retired that then she was told she had been given the D.R.O.P. payment. She had been told what her benefits were, started to receive her benefits, but then she was told that, Oh no, those are not your benefits. So what I’m asking is that we would give some consideration to her and I would ask the City Attorney along with the City Manager to please review this issue of Ms. Landon. She is the only, only individual represented by a union to have exited the D.R.O.P. after having her benefits certified twice. We know that she is now affected by 415, didn’t know it at the time. Does the theory that apply to prior management employees that exited the D.R.O.P. and retired, does that or should that maybe also apply to her? I’m not asking that we make a decision with regard to this; all I’m asking is that you will support me in asking the Manager and the Attorney to please look into it and talk to us about it at the next Commission meeting in July. City of Coral Gables Page 29 City Commission Meeting Minutes June 11, 2013 Commissioner Quesada: Absolutely. Yes. Commissioner Keon: Does that require a motion?- or what does that require to give you a direction? City Attorney Leen: Unanimous consent is fine. Commissioner Keon: OK. Is it a roll call? City Attorney Leen: As long as you all agree. City Manager Salerno: You don’t need to vote. Commissioner Lago: Is your statement complete?- are you done? Commissioner Keon: Yes. Commissioner Lago: Because it’s funny I was going to bring that up. I have two statements; number one was in regard to Ms. Landon, same thing, you covered all the bases, so I appreciate that; and the second thing, I was going to ask for staff, I met with some of the residents that live in the area of Alhambra and Miller, right there next to St. Augustine Church. As you know we have the rotunda that’s just been constructed closer to San Amaro, which is where I live, where Miller hits San Amaro. In that area, in that intersection there has been a few accidents that have occurred because it is not a 4-way stop, and the people basically when they go around the circle before they get to Miller, before they get to 57th Avenue, they engage in some speeding. So what I’m asking for to see if maybe we can get a little bit of input from City staff, not now, a week or so, two weeks in reference if we are looking into something maybe putting a 4-way stop there, maybe a traffic circle that’s being worked on. I promised these residents that I will look into it for them. City Manager Salerno: We got it, we understand, we’ll take care of it. Commissioner Lago: I appreciate it. Thank you. Commissioner Quesada: Any other items for either of you? I only have one item. At the last Commission meeting we discussed the parking garages, I’ve been approached City of Coral Gables Page 30 City Commission Meeting Minutes June 11, 2013 by a number of business owners related to one of the items that we had discussed and Mr. Manager it’s something that we had discussed at the last meeting, I believe it was you or the consultant had told us from Tim Haas and Associates that the building, the parking garage behind the Miracle Theater, that’s Parking Garage number…. City Manager Salerno: One. Commissioner Quesada: Parking Garage Number 1, that’s where either the majority or all the parking would be there. City Manager Salerno: All. Commissioner Quesada: And Parking Garage next to the Publix is 4? City Manager Salerno: Yes. Commissioner Quesada: Parking Garage Number 4, they’d be no parking there. City Manager Salerno: No public parking, it would be the parking associated with the private development. Commissioner Quesada: OK. So the concern I’m hearing is that the business owners and the property owners there have a concern with having no public parking there. If we can and I would like to hear feedback, not right now, but the concern is that if you are going to one of the businesses on the west side of the 300 Block of Miracle Mile and you have to park in the parking garage by the Miracle Theater, now you either have to walk a block and-a-half or two blocks or three blocks to get to that location if you are not going to use the valet parking system, and I know there is a flower shop, there is a restaurant, and a few other stores there, so that’s the concern. If you can circle back with the consultant and ask him of the impact that that would have if we put 50 spaces, 100 spaces, 200 spaces in there as opposed to putting 100 percent, maybe we 90 percent and 10 percent, maybe 95 and 5, but that’s the question that I’ve been getting. It’s not something that I had thought of when the consultant was here. City Manager Salerno: I’d be glad to, but I need to tell you I’ve had detailed discussions with the consultant, he strongly does not recommend doing that on any basis, 5, 10, 50, whatever would just significantly impact the ability of us to do this City of Coral Gables Page 31 City Commission Meeting Minutes June 11, 2013 project, so he does not recommend that, but I’d be glad to follow up and do that. Commissioner Quesada: OK. Thank you for that. Commissioner Keon: Can I ask one question. The parking that is on the north side of the Mile in that 300 Block behind like LaSalle Cleaners, or whatever, is that permit parking or is that metered parking? Commissioner Quesada: I think it’s a mix, isn’t it? City Manager Salerno: Well there is a combination. There are two lots that are owned by private people and one lot by the City and I can’t tell you off-hand whether… Commissioner Keon: I’ve heard the same concern from the people from the 300 Block with regard to there being no parking in that 300 Block available, no public parking. Commissioner Quesada: On the north side. Commissioner Keon: Yes, on the north side, but I’m wondering if - I mean on the south side when we do away with the garage if there is going to be - the plan is that there is no public parking in that lot across from Publix, but if we made more public parking available on the north side of that 300 Block, will that help them or no? Commissioner Quesada: But hold on a second, on the north side remember you have a few meters by the LaSalle Cleaners and then you also have that private development there and there is public parking there. Now it’s not the City’s rate of a dollar an hour, it might be a dollar every half-an-hour, I forgot what the rate is, but right across the street from, I guess it would be Graciano’s and LaSalle you have a residential project there that has an entrance right there and they have all the parking in the world. Commissioner Keon: Right - but that was even the surface lots, we only have the one surface lot that is the City’s surface lot, Mayor? Mayor Cason: Yes. Commissioner Keon: And is that public?- I mean is that metered or is that permit? City of Coral Gables Page 32 City Commission Meeting Minutes June 11, 2013 Commissioner Quesada: If you look at it there is one portion of it that’s metered and there is one portion of it that’s permit, am I wrong? City Manager Salerno: I can’t tell you off hand. Commissioner Keon: If it is maybe you can look at the possibility of making more of them public spaces or something. City Attorney Leen: Mr. Chair one other thing. On the FPL matter, I did also want to mention and this is not final yet, because it hasn’t been approved by the administrative hearing judge, the motion is in the process of being finalized, but we are looking at having a public hearing in the Gables to make it easier for our residents to be able to speak about the power lines. The date that and the Manager has been very helpful with this too, the date that we are looking at is July 18th at 6:30 p.m. at the Youth Center. I’ll be notifying all of you with the Manager when that comes up. Commissioner Quesada: OK - sounds good. Just keep us informed and let us know. If that’s it meeting is adjourned. Commissioner Lago: Thank you. Commissioner Keon: Thank you.
