Chief Weiner explained that as a part of the strategic initiative team-burglary operations on September 12, 2013, Officer James Banks responded to a resident in the vicinity of Tangier Street regarding a burglary that had just occurred. The officer began the investigation by checking the area for the subject vehicle, deducting that the subject vehicle likely passed the Kindred Hospital parking lot. Then the officer checked the video at the hospital and identified the vehicle matching the description they were looking for. The officer recalled the vehicle in the video also matched the description of vehicle that the Miami Police Department was tracking. On the next day of the burglary operation, the officer observed a vehicle that matched the exact description of the subject vehicle in the 4700 block of S.W. 7th St. When the male in the subject vehicle walked out, Officer Banks advised other members on the team of the subject description and direction of travel and asked them for back-up. Officers proceeded to make a traffic stop. The record check verified that the vehicle (a rental car) was stolen out of the City of Miami and it was the vehicle shown in the video at Kindred Hospital. When the Officer Banks was making the traffic stop, the other member of the task force team detained the male, who walked away from the subject vehicle at the Jamaica Hotel on S.W. 8th St. Further investigation led to other three subjects staying at the hotel and one of them confessing to committing the burglary on Tangier Street. As a result of Officer Bank’s outstanding observation and investigation skills the stolen vehicle and property were recovered. As a result, Officer Banks successfully solved not only a burglary case of City of Coral Gables, but also the burglary case from the City of Miami. Because of his efforts, James Banks has been selected as the Officer of the Month for September 2013].

CITY CLERK ITEMS None City Clerk Item No. 34 K. DISCUSSION ITEMS Mayor Cason: Commissioner Keon. Commissioner Keon: I had one. I wanted to let you know that the League of Cities has provided us with 20 coupons for Thanksgiving to be given to residents in need. It’s for a turkey and a bag of perishable goods for Thanksgiving dinner. I was going to give it to Danette and ask that you would if there was someone in particular that you know of or some group that you feel we should contact, if you could talk to Danette and I’ll let her coordinate it maybe. I know that the Fire Department also does a turkey giveaway, so maybe we could ask Danette to coordinate with them so everybody gets City of Coral Gables Page 19 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 12, 2013 one dinner. Just give it to Danette and let the people that are used to doing this go ahead and do it, they seem to know. Mayor Cason: Sounds great. Commissioner Lago: That’s a great idea. Thank you. Commissioner Keon: I’ll like to commend Vince Lago also for the work he did on putting together the community day with Baptist Hospital and St. Mary’s, it’s a wonderful thing to be able to help an institution, they are not generally eligible for a lot of other funding for faith-based funding, so when we can do that and we can find partners in our community that will help it is a nice thing. So I really would like to really commend him and Danette for all the work they did in putting that together, it was really a nice morning. Commissioner Lago: I hate to cut into Commissioner Keon’s moment, but we put that together for three months and Danette was instrumental in putting it together, but I was really impressed by staff how they came together, how the Commissioners - every Commissioner went out, the Mayor was there, everybody rolled up their sleeves and they got dirty to be honest with you; they went out there and they got on their knees, they picked up garbage, they removed trees. Commissioner Quesada was scary moments there with a chain saw cutting a tree down. Vice Mayor Kerdyk: I actually saw him pick up a tree (laughter) first time in many, many years I’ve seen that happen. Commissioner Lago: I’ve always been, I’m going to take a quote from what Commissioner Keon said, and she whispered in my ear at one point when we were giving the proclamation that day, this is Coral Gables and what we did as a Commission and as a City really exemplifies what Coral Gables embodies and that’s why I’m so proud to be a Commissioner in the City. Vice Mayor Kerdyk: Very true, very, very true, everything you said. Just very briefly. I’ve been working with Fairchild Gardens along with the City Manager and hopefully we can bring you a project here soon about orchid planting, orchids in our trees throughout the City. Now this is a cool project, I’m just giving you a little insight of what we’ve been working with, but the City Manager will hopefully bring it forward in the next month or so. It’s really neat, it’s really cool. Let me tell you Fairchild Gardens, City of Coral Gables Page 20 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 12, 2013 a lot of times for the people watching to have one of the two top botanical gardens in the world and your border is a good thing for the City of Coral Gables. It’s unbelievable, so. Commissioner Lago: Mine was again, thanking everybody for coming out on Saturday, thanking staff predominantly, Danette, she did an incredible job. I was just going to request just a simple - oh, there it is - as a matter of fact that was before and let’s see hopefully we can get together a picture of what we did on Saturday with obviously the financial help of Baptist and their volunteers. I guess it will come up eventually. But I also wanted to get from the City Manager just a quick update in regards to the sustainability plan; I know that some progress was made, so if we could have just a quick briefing, I know something simple if possible. City Manager Salerno: Certainly Commissioner. As I mentioned last meeting, staff has provided me in the interim between that meeting some examples of other cities that have issued RFQ’s for such services. I reviewed those actually over the long weekend and I’ll be meeting with staff in the next few days to give them my comments and then we’ll be issuing the RFQ. So we are on go. I think it was worth getting some of the other examples, there were some insights that some other communities that have done this that we can make sure that the effort is all that we need it to be to set a plan for the next 10 years or so. Commissioner Lago: You said when we met on several occasions in regards to this issue. We get one shot, one bite at the apple, we are spending close to $150,000 to $200,000, this is something that’s really going to model the City for the next 10 to 12 years, so hopefully our patients pays off within the next six months with an actual sustainability plan, which is going to benefit the City, so thank you, I appreciate it. Mayor Cason: Mr. Quesada? Commissioner Quesada: I just want to say thank you to Commissioner Lago again for the Baptist event, I know he worked hard on that and it was a great event and as I said earlier, I’m still in pain. Vice Mayor Kerdyk: It doesn’t take much (laughter). Commissioner Quesada: It doesn’t take much, you are absolutely right, you are absolutely right, but I think it was a great event; it was great to see everyone out there. City of Coral Gables Page 21 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 12, 2013 Mayor Cason: Mr. Manager would you give the public an update on the public hearing on the bicycle plan. I know there are some ads that I’ve seen in the newspapers, so that those that are out there that are interested would be able to attend. City Manager Salerno: Certainly Mayor. In the last ENEWS that we issues last Wednesday, we noticed and we took out an ad, I believe on Sunday in the Neighbors section to let the community know that there will be a public meeting largely to get input from residents on the 19th at the Youth Center starting at 6:30, ending at approximately 8, and at that time our consultant who was hired to do that master plan would be there, have a presentation to make but largely it’s to get feedback from the residents on what they’d like to see and then the consultant will incorporate that just like we are doing with the tree succession and initiation plans, we are in the process right now of incorporating the input that we receive from those five public meetings that were throughout the City, that was a much more detailed involved process, that’s why that necessitated five meetings to cover the geographic area that we had, because it’s down to specifically every single street in the City was involved. So that’s on the 19th at the Youth Center, 6:30 to 8 o’clock, we encourage residents to come and we are interested in hearing what you have to say. Mayor Cason: I recently took a trip to Istanbul and brought back some photos which I’ve shared with the Manager as well as some photos from Qatar on what they’ve done with flowers and beautification and orchids and so on. There are some cities around the world have done absolutely tremendous things. We are known as The City Beautiful and we are getting, I think all of us have gotten lots and lots of compliments on the recent - the things that have been done to beautify the City and I think anything we can do to bring more colors even more in terms of landscaping will be very appreciated and certainly will help property values as well. Commissioner Lago: May I ask the City Manager in regards to something in regards to the bike master plan? Mayor Cason: Sure. Commissioner Lago: Just for my own edification because I spoke to a few residents and they asked me the same question. Once we have the public hearing, which I won’t be here November 19th, which I would have liked to have attended, but that input will be taken, the plan will be obviously put together, when will that - do you have an idea, City of Coral Gables Page 22 City Commission Meeting Minutes November 12, 2013 I’m not going to hold you to it, but when do you think the plan will be presented to the Commission? City Manager Salerno: Well, we have to be done with the plan pursuant to the grant that we have by December 31st, so we have to accept the grant, whether the plan gets presented before December 31st which might be difficult, it’s not a requirement of the grant that the presentation be done after and certainly… Commissioner Lago: That’s in our benefit because we only have one Commission meeting in December. City Manager Salerno: Yes. I don’t know that we’ll be - not having heard what the input is, it’s hard for me to say rewriting or reviewing those things are. The main thing is in order to meet the grant has to be done with it, but the document is going to be subject to the Commission saying this is what they want to do. So in any event you shouldn’t be concerned that the - the plan will not be adopted without the Commission’s approval. Commissioner Lago: So we are looking at something maybe in January-February we’ll have something coming forth which will allow us to get an idea what the plan will eventually look for. City Manager Salerno: Yes. As you know, we have $400,000 in the Neighborhood Renaissance Program, that’s more than the City has ever appropriated toward bike paths that we’ve been able to determine, so - but we want to make sure that that $400,000 get spent wisely and that will be up to the Commission to decide. Mayor Cason: OK. If there are no further items the meeting is adjourned.
