Brewery with the Coral Cube Award, as enduring Coral Gables restaurants, which
have become landmarks in their own respect), Vice Mayor Quesada stated that we
have been giving this award to our signature restaurants for the last six months and
they are the reason why people love to dine in Downtown Coral Gables, and the
Commission felt we could do more to recognize our restaurants, so we created the
Coral Cube Award. Vice Mayor Quesada said we will be giving out three Coral
Cube Awards today. Vice Mayor Quesada announced that the first award is being
given to Pascal’s on Ponce, which he stated has been in Coral Gables for 16 years,
where families have major family events, such as anniversaries, graduation parties,
baptisms, and birthday parties, and is the best French restaurant in town. Vice
Mayor Quesada stated the next award goes to Café Abbracci. Commissioner
Slesnick came forward to introduce the owner of Caffe Abbracci, Nino Pernetti,
saying that Caffe Abbracci has been in business for 26 years, with an excellent staff
and owner who remembers all of its customer names, and is one of the best

Vice Mayor Quesada then introduced third Coral Cube Award winner, Kevin Rusk,

meatloaf in town and has a great mix of customer, college students, families, and date

Keon asked City Attorney Craig Leen to help present the proclamation, adding that
he is one of only three male members of the Villagers. City Attorney Leen said it was
great to receive this proclamation with the Villagers and recounted how he became a
member of the Villagers. City Attorney Leen stated that if there is something that is
historic, the Villagers are there to preserve it, and that we are lucky to have this
important organization in Coral Gables. Commissioner Keon asked the members of
the Villagers to come forward to the dais to accept the proclamation. A
representative of the Villagers thanked the City for this honor on behalf of past and
present members, and said that we are very proud of our accomplishments over the
last 50 years of raising over a million dollars for preservation and scholarship, and for
this our 50th anniversary of 50 years of saving places].

increase our audience. Cristyn Guzman, PT on camera Talent/Reporter of CGTV
said in October of last year we had 389 likes of the City’s Facebook page, and a
year later our Facebook page had 4,210 likes for an increase of about 1,000 percent
and the number is growing; are Facebook videos and postings are being seen by the
thousands each week. Brianna Moles, Producer/Writer of CGTV said social media
has forever changed the way we communicate, and now people are turning to their
mobile devises and their “apps” for their news, entertainment, and light event
coverage, and this is why the City is strengthening their presence by streaming on
Facebook live, which provide on-the-go instant access of the best City moments
when they happen. Mike Biana, Producer/Reporter of CGTV said the Facebook has
grown exponentially, and we want to find new and different ways to get the
community involved, so today for the "Great Pumpkin Challenge of 2016," we have
uploaded the pictures of the pumpkins, so that the residents and Facebook likers can
like each individual pumpkin, and then we can show which is their favorite. Diana
Rocha, Producer/Editor of CGTV introduced the City’s new social media campaign
to promote our City Beautiful, by showing our many beautiful places to see and our
many activities. Diana introduced Raggedy Anne and Raggedy Andy, the two iconic

adventures will promote Coral Gables. Diana then introduced the new video, which

Mayor Cason: Let’s start with Commissioner Slesnick.
Commissioner Slesnick: Well, I just wanted to compliment John, I already did. I was
surprised to go by the library yesterday and see the huge crowds, it’s on the front
page of the Herald today, our Coral Gables Library, by lunchtime they’ve already had
1,000 people voting, so we have a great facility there and I’m very pleased that so
many people are taking the opportunity to come out and vote early; and last but not
least, if you have not been, the Mayor and I attended the opening of Actor’s
Playhouse.
Mayor Cason: Fabulous.
Commissioner Slesnick: “Million Dollar Quartet” it is one of the best plays ever about
the four rock and rollers, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash…
Mayor Cason: Johnny Cash and Jerry E. Lewis and Elvis and Perkins. I’ve never
seen the audience so excited, they went on for an hour or so afterwards, dancing. It
really is a wonderful production; it’s going to on…
Commissioner Slesnick: It’s going to run; they think it’s going to run through the
holidays because word of mouth is going to make you want to attend. You’ve got to
see it, “Million Dollar Quartet” at Actor’s Playhouse.
Vice Mayor Quesada: Just one quick thing. There was an article that came out in the
Herald the other day related to Solar Amendment, did you guys read it?
Mayor Cason: Yes - very good.
Commissioner Slesnick: Yes.
Vice Mayor Quesada: Related to its recording and FPL and all that. OK. I just
wanted to make sure you guys had read that.
City of Coral Gables Page 25
City Commission Meeting Minutes October 25, 2016
Mayor Cason: Explanation of what this is all about and who is supporting what which
was in E-NEWS.
City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark: It was also in this Thursday’s Miami Herald.
Mayor Cason: The Miami Herald.
Commissioner Lago: I want to mention that because not only was it in the Herald,
they also had an article in the Sun Sentinel and they also had an article in Forbes, we
made Forbes Magazine, that’s pretty incredible; and one of the main points in the
article was, how can we call ourselves the Sunshine State and then try to pass this
type of legislation. So I thought it was very…
Mayor Cason: I think the important thing is for those who haven’t voted, it’s very
confusing, people not quite sure what it means. Take a look at what we’ve said,
because we’ve tried to be neutral, we haven’t been neutral, but we have explained
carefully who supports it and what it’s really all about.
Commissioner Lago: And what’s in the best interest of the future, not only South
Florida but the entire State.
Mayor Cason: Your turn.
Commissioner Lago: I just wanted to - I had the pleasure this weekend to attend the
Pumpkin Patch event at Pittman Park. I took my wife and my two daughters and it
was a spectacular time. I want to commend the City Manager and Mr. Betancourt
and all of staff who put it together. I know CGTV was there. It was an incredible
experience. There was probably when I was there for about an hour, a few hundred
people, Coral Gables Fire Department was there, the Police Department. Like I
mentioned to Javi, this is very representational to what the City of Coral Gables is all
about. We are about family; we are about that hometown feel in a very sophisticated
City. So it was spectacular. You had kids doing face painting, you had pumpkins
being sold for at cost, I don’t think we made any money on a $5.00 pumpkin. You
had some of the vendors from Giralda, which was beneficial to them, because we are
a stone’s throw away from Giralda, while construction was going on, on a Saturday.
So I wanted to commend staff for doing an incredible job; and like Commissioner
Slesnick mentioned, make sure you go out and vote. I’m not sure if they are going to
City of Coral Gables Page 26

be open on Sundays yet.
Commissioner Slesnick: They are. Every day through Sunday before Election.
Commissioner Lago: I was hoping to go after, but now that you tell me there are
1,000 people that voted in one day.
Commissioner Slesnick: An hour long line. Go 7 in the morning.
Commissioner Lago: Make sure you go out and vote that’s the most important thing.
Mayor Cason: Commissioner Keon.
Commissioner Keon: I’d like to thank Public Works for their work on the crosswalks
all over related to Ingraham Park. Thank you very much. They really connect the park
now to all of the surrounding neighborhoods. Thank you.
Mayor Cason: And I just wanted to thank Coral Gables Television for that wonderful
production of what we’ve all accomplished in the last five and-a-half years, and
recommend I have that we use that and maybe add in some of the things on the
cultural side of the City that we used in…China 4-5 years ago, to make a
presentation on “Here’s Coral Gables” that can be given to realtors, given to people
who move into town and want to know, why should I move into Coral Gables and
not Pinecrest or some other place, and make that a very concentrated “Here’s Coral
Gables” because I think all the elements are there to make it really great and it was a
wonderful production.
City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark: And Mr. Mayor we’ve had a lot of requests for
them, so we are making copies of the CD, it’s also on YouTube, but we’ll help pass
the word out; and before you adjourn the meeting, if CGTV is paying attention, if they
can put on the Pumpkin Patch that Commissioner Lago talked about.
[Note: A video was shown of the "Pumpkin Patch Event"]
Mayor Cason: I’ve been reading articles about people growing 2,000 pound
pumpkins, maybe we can find next year some monster pumpkin that can be the
centerpiece for this.

City Commission Meeting Minutes October 25, 2016
Vice Mayor Quesada: The problem is how do you carve it?
Mayor Cason: You get a tractor trailer and move it.
City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark: Well Economic Development, Parks and Rec, a
lot of departments worked hard on it, but we really appreciated Javier, the “Farmer”
coming forward and making it all happen; and as you conclude you have just like last
year with your First Annual Pumpkin Challenge, you have your Second Annual and
we need you to vote and we have prizes for the top three, and if you pay attention the
creativity of our employees amazing. Each one of them tells its own story.
Mayor Cason: We are supposed to pick one?
City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark: Yes, but you need to go look at them first sir.
Mayor Cason: Yes. OK. With that we’ll close the meeting for today.
