[Note for the Record: Following Mayor Cason’s reading of the title to Agenda Item
A-1 into the public record, Interim City manager Carmen Olazabal requested of Major
Pedrosa to approach the podium, who in return called upon Chief Wellinghoff to join
him; said individual who has been with the City for a long time; further reflecting on
Dean, on his character and his ability to do police work, adding that it is something that
is inspiring to him and to many of his peers in the Coral Gables Police Department;
further referencing as story that was one of his first experiences in the Police
Department, pointing out that one of the first folders that Dean handed to him was a
burglary folder, and that he was able to investigated the case and come up with an
image of the offender, which led them to put up same on a BOLO-citing that said
during that time period, it was done on photocopiers, and that it was not done on the
internet using all of the electronic capabilities that we have now; further adding that
Major Pedrosa noted that he put said picture out, which resulted in an inability to find
said suspect until 6 months later Dean Wellinghoff called and said, “Hey Raul, I got
your guy and he was driving down Douglas Road, wherein he spotted him, detained
him, and sure enough it was the suspect; further acknowledging that Wellinghoff
remembered the face from the picture he had seen 6 months prior-Major Pedrosa
admitted that he was surprised, it was his first case, but that is what Dean Wellinghoff
is about-pointing out that his brain and the way he processes information, the way he
remembers things, and how he puts all the clues together and solves crimes, that he is
one of the best in the Police Departments, and he surmises even in the law enforcement
area.
Major Pedrosa further reiterates that regarding the specific case which occurred in
June, Dean Wellinghoff who manages the City’s Property Crime Unit, having
responsibility for investigating all of the burglaries, conveyance crimes and all of the
issues that have an impact on our citizenry, he comes into work that morning, sees a
report about a car burglary that happened the previous night, of which the homeowner
had a video, Wellinghoff immediately identified from that video someone whom he had
seen before, having looked at relevant information, he put the ducks together, and he
contacted the Strategic Initiatives Team and put them on the chart, telling them-listen,
I’ve got this -I have this person, referring to the fact that they had supposedly done
some burglaries in Coral Gables; further noticing that on July 23rd, 2014 there was
City of Coral Gables Page 2
City Commission Meeting Minutes August 26, 2014
said suspect with 4 others in a stolen car, thereby they later brought said suspects into
the Police station having recovered the stolen vehicle, and during the course of that day
with Sergeant Wellinghoff leading the entire investigation, led the department to
recover 6vehicles, took said suspects into custody and closing out several cases in
Hialeah, Miami-Dade County and City of Miami, said ring which was very active in the
north end of the City, pointing out that it was because of the good work and the ability
that Dean has that no one else has, to the best of his knowledge, that the Coral Gables
Police Department was able to bring these suspect to justice-adding that because of
that, that Dean was selected as the Officer of the Month for the Month of June, 2014.
In accepting this accolade, Dean stated that he is not good at public speaking, nothing
that he has done has been spectacular, and that God has blessed him his entire career
and continues to do so---The Strategic Initiatives Team was instrumental in developing
the intelligence recognition].

[Note for the Record: Following Mayor Cason’s reading of the title to Agenda Item
A-2 into the public record, Interim City Manager Carmen Olazabal requested of Fire
Chief Marc Stolzenberg to present the item, whereby Chief Stolzenberg stated that
Carlos Lopez was selected as the August 2014 Firefighter of the Month for his
outstanding display of concern for his co-workers , adding that Firefighter Lopez
began his career as a firefighter in 2003 and was shortly assigned to a Rescue Vehicle;
afterwards he earned an Associate Degree in Emergency Medical Services and
continued to expand his educational advanced training opportunities -further pointing
out that Firefighter Lopez has successfully passed the Lieutenants exam, and that the
Chief was proud to announce that he is anticipating a promotion shortly hereafter
during his 11-year career, he has received commendations for his actions; on August
6th, was one of those times that required some action: Carlos was assisting one of the
fellow City employees who was on top of one of five trucks wherein he noticed that
said employee was losing his balance and began falling backwards off the top of the
fire truck; Carlos lunged forward attempting to catch the employee, thereby managed
to reduce the impact of the fall, thus reducing the injury to the employee; later, when
the employee was transferred to the hospital, the Emergency Room Physician stated
that whomever attempted to catch this individual probably saved his life.

City Commission Meeting Minutes August 26, 2014
Fire Chief Stolzenberg summarized this incident by stating that Carlos is well deserving
of this recognition by putting himself in danger to help a fellow employee and avoid a
very tragic event; said demonstration of teamwork and selflessness is consistent with
Firefighter Lopez’ demeanor -his willingness to put himself a risk is worthy of
recognition.
In accepting this accolade Carlos Lopez stated the following: “I would like to thank
the City for this award and recognition, but that he would also that he wanted to share
the award with the firefighters, because even though his actions might sound
extraordinary and different it is what the Fire Department has trained each and every
one of us to do, which is to react and put our lives behind, in order to save lives;
saying, I want to say thank you to all of the guys in the Fire Department; noting this in
not just for him, but to all of his peers for all of the hard work and training that they do
all day].

[Note for the Record: Following Mayor Cason’s reading of the title to Agenda Item
A-3 into the public record, Interim City Manager requested of Human Resources

co-workers and the public alike are very proud of her , and that she is being
recognized for her hard work and her dedication to the City of Coral Gables.
During the videotaped segment of the presentation, Parking Department Director
Kevin Kinney pointed out that Ms. Gomez has been a part of the Coral Gables
Trolley team since February 17, 2004; she has been instrumental in the growth of our
trolley service that provides transportation to an estimated 1.2 million people annually;
she facilitates interaction between drivers, dispatchers and mechanics to ensure daily
operations run smoothly and on time; that she has ably managed the trolley system in
the absence of a Trolley Manager; Elizabeth representation to the City, County and

and managed procurement and budgetary issues for all of the Parking divisions for
most of the estimated 18 months when parking was without an Administrative
Supervisor; she is an exceptional employee and a joy to work with, and that he can
think of no other person more deserving of this award.
During the live final portion of this presentation, Mr. Kinney stated that he would like
to say that for the first decade plus for the Coral Gables Trolley Operator there has
been one constant, there has been one rock, one person who participated in all of the
successes, and that has been Elizabeth, and he wanted to thank her for all that she has
done.
In accepting this recognition, Elizabeth prefaced her remarks by stating that although
she was not good at public speaking, she wanted to thank Kevin and John, her
bosses, whom have always been available to answer questions; further thanking the
Parking Department who see identifies as a great backup and good support, and
whom she says works very, very hard for the City-further acknowledging everyone
who has helped her on a regular basis, adding that she is constantly calling people to
help her, many of who still answer their phones, and that she appreciates that very
much; also thanking the departments’ Trolley Mechanics who she says work under
very harsh conditions-in the heat, rain, encountering mosquitos outside, describing
them as a great group, oftentimes going outside the box to keep the City running.
Finally, Elizabeth acknowledged the Trolley Drivers, whom he described as always
keeping the City running-our front line, whom she says take a beating every day and
still provide a good service, with a big smile, and they love their job; ending her
remarks by thanking everyone present for their support].
