the Month Award, for the month of April 2014.

COMMISSION COVER MEMO - OFFICER OF THE MONTH APRIL 2014.pdf
[Note for the Record: Police Chief Weiner prefaced his remarks by stating that he
was happy to recognize Officer Janesse Soto as the Officer of the Month for the
Month of June in making 2 arrest-in the first case, her supervisor told her that her job
was to catch some vehicular burglars, and she did just that. While patrolling the north
end of the City Officer Soto noticed a mini-van stopped in the bike lane at the 1200
Block of Meridian Avenue; three subjects fled northbound from the vehicle, which led
to a multitude of officers flooding the area in search of said suspects, which led to the
apprehension of one of the suspects by Officer Hector Diaz and Officer Daniels, who
nabbed him and took him into custody. One of the other two suspects was spotted just
north of SW 8th Street, neither of them were captured; Chief Weiner further noted that
said subjects had committed several vehicle burglaries and were driving a unreported
stolen vehicle. Chief Weiner further noted that a handgun was discovered in the yard
of 1253 Medina Avenue where the subjects had burglarized a car; adding that a car
key belonging to the carjacking victim and other stolen items were located in the
minivan; further pointing out that the arrest made by Officer Soto cleared numerous
vehicular burglary cases, vehicular theft cases in Miami-Dade County, along with the
arrests of other subjects involved in these crimes, resulting in the aborting of several
violent crimes.
In the second case, Chief Weiner mentioned that Officer Soto was tasked with
patrolling the north end of the City-an area where most of the vehicular crimes are
committed, whereupon she spotted a suspicious vehicle stopped in the bicycle lane
located at the 400 block of Alhambra Circle; further pointing out that she observed
two suspects one that was in the vehicle located in the bicycle lane and the second
individual that was by the driver’s side of a Jeep Wrangler parked at 423 Alhambra
Circle; further stating that said subject had an iron tire in his hand, along with a lug nut
on the floor where the spare tie to the Jeep was attached.
Officer Soto detained said individual who was in the Wrangler Jeep, while the other
suspect fled on foot; adding that because of the detailed description provided by
Officer Soto, Officer Hector Diaz was able to apprehend the subject a few blocks
away and take him into custody.
Chief Weiner further noted that Officer Soto’s initiative was on display since she was
not responding to a call for service, but proactively patrolling the City and located the
City of Coral Gables Page 2
City Commission Meeting Minutes June 10, 2014
subjects on her own. Due to the numerous wheels that have been stolen in the City,
Officer Soto’s efforts resulted in the apprehension and arrest of two subjects that were
stealing Jeep wheels].

A.-2. 14-3128 Congratulations to Division Chief Robert Lowman, recipient of the Firefighter of the Month
Award, for the month of June 2014.
Attachments: Cover Memo - FF of the Month, June 2014
Firefighter of the Month Notification Letter, June 2014
[Note for the Record: Following the reading of the title to Agenda Item A-2, Fire
Chief Stoltenberg prefaced his remarks by thanking the Mayor for his remarks about
the untimely passing of Firefighter Walsh further acknowledging the Fire Departments’
loss, and anticipating the support by the City in connection with the forthcoming
memorial service on the 29th of June. Fire Chief Stolzenberg noted that Division Chief
Lowman has maintained a 25-year tenure with the City, being promoted through the
ranks, and is currently serving in the capacity of the city’s Fire Marshall-- adding that
as an administrator, Robert is described as reliable, never too shy and as the
departments’ ISO Officer, he is the one who is instrumental in establishing the Fire
Departments’ Explorer’s Post, and has mentored many of our youths today. Chief
Lowman attained his paramedic certification in 1989 and maintains a high level of
proficiency, which proved vital the morning of May 31st.
For his meritorious display of job performance, specifically his response to a medical
emergency incident while off duty, he was selected as June’s Firefighter of the Month.
While running an errand early Saturday morning, Chief Lowman came upon a very
serious motorcycle accident whose airway was severely compromised and said victim
was not breathing. Chief Lowman went to the patient’s aid and manipulated his airway
opening. Shortly after opening the airway, the patient started to breathe again. The
patient sustained a femur fracture, along with multiple other injuries. Chief Stolzenberg
further noted that Chief Lowman’s heroic actions are to be commended and are
deserving of this recognition].

Cover Memo___EOM June 2014
[Note for the Record: Following the reading of the title to Agenda Item A-3 into the
public record, Human Resources Director approached the podium who stated that
today she was proud to introduce Eric A. Lopez, Public Works Department, said
employee who has been with the City of Coral Gables for 13 years, and has been
characterized by friends and colleagues alike as a pleasant and friendly individual.
During the videotaped segment of the presentation utility Director for the Public Works
Department, namely Jorge Acevedo stated the following:
“Mr. Lopez began working with the City’s Public Service Department in 2001 and
then transferred to the Public Works Facilities Maintenance Division in September of
2003 as a Maintenance Worker II. In January 2006, Mr. Lopez was promoted to
Maintenance Repair Worker.
As a Maintenance Repair Worker, Mr. Lopez is primarily responsible for graffiti
removal of all facilities including buildings, parking garages, parks, signs and fountains.
He has become a specialist in the “graffiti” area. Mr. Lopez is also highly involved in
all of the City’s Special Events which include the 4th of July, Holiday Tree Lighting and
the Junior Orange Bowl Parade, just to name a few.
Eric can always be found with a giant smile on his face, he is one of the friendliest and
most helpful persons he’s ever known. Mr. Lopez is a true team player and very
professional in his dealings with other City departments. Whenever he comes across
something in the City that is in need of repair or just doesn’t look right, he will
immediately radio it into dispatch to make sure it’s addressed. We are honored to
have him represent the Public Works Department as the Employee of the Month.”
In accepting this accolade, Eric Lopez stated that first of all he wanted to thank God
for blessing him with two of the greatest parents he could ever have; adding that his
kids and his family are all what matters to him most, and that he is very appreciative of
this award, and also of his co-workers who are here outside; noting that without them,
he would not be in attendance during this special recognition.
Following the presentation, there was a photo session].

City Commission Meeting Minutes June 10, 2014
Commissioner Quesada: Rather than deferring them, I was notified by the Clerk that
we should move to continue them rather than deferring them. I think we need to redo
that.
City Attorney Leen: The request for deferral was made by the applicant.
Commissioner Quesada: It’s going to be more expensive for us.
City Attorney Leen: It’s true although we’ll have to keep continuing it then until it
comes up again, but you can continue it if you’d like to.
Commissioner Quesada: I was following the recommendation of the City Clerk, I
don’t know if you want to clarify that Walter.
City Clerk Foeman: Sure. It had to do with the cost of advertise, go back and
re-advertise those issues, so with continuance we don’t have to re-advertise.
City Attorney Leen: My understanding is it will not be coming before you July 22nd, so
what you can do is continue it until then and then we’ll have to continue it again.
Commissioner Quesada: Whatever you guys want to do.
Interim City Manager Olazabal: Maybe we know for a fact and I don’t, but maybe
you do, if you know for a fact that it’s not on the July 22nd, could we continue it to the
other 26th one?
Commissioner Quesada: I know it’s going to be continued E-7 and E-8 to the August
meeting.
City Attorney Leen: OK, that we can do.
Mayor Cason: We have a motion, Commissioner Quesada, Commissioner Lago
seconds it.

Commissioner Lago: I have nothing to say except I wish everybody a happy summer.
Vice Mayor Kerdyk: Just very quickly. Now that we have that beautiful park in
Ingraham, when you walk over there, there are people that fish down there underneath
LeJeune, which you know whether we allow it or not, if we allow it make sure that
somebody goes and collects the trash when people see the evidence, a lot of
accumulation of trash, it just does not look good when we are trying to clean up that
whole area there.
Mayor Cason: Commissioner Keon?- I don’t have anything. I have to go catch a plane
to Paraguay.
City Attorney Leen: I have to say one sentence, if it’s OK Mayor Cason: I’m asking
for advice, and Executive Session in Casper, City of Coral Gables renewing that
request, it’s through the Third District Case No. 14-001, Case No. 13-25997,
Eleventh Judicial Circuit. We’ll do it at a time everyone can do it, maybe at the next
meeting. I just need to keep that open.
Mayor Cason: OK. Thank you. Thanks very much, meeting adjourned.
