City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark said that this milestone is for twenty-years of service to the City of Coral Gables by Ramon Alvarez of the Public Works Department, who started with the City in 1997 as a Maintenance Worker I and then was promoted to Sanitation Worker I, and was again promoted to his current position as a Sanitation Operator I.

Attachments: Cover Memo, FF of Month, March Notification Letter, March FF of the Month [Note for the Record: Following Mayor Cason’s reading of the title to Agenda Item A-3 (i.e. Congratulations to Firefighter Ishmael Roig, recipient of the City of Coral Gables ““Firefighter of the Month Award”, for the month of March 2017), City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark asked Chief de la Rosa to come forward and stated that the future of the Coral Gables Fire Department rests with the cadets that are being groomed and inspired, and this “Firefighter of the Month” plays a critical role in doing that. Chief de la Rosa stated as the City Manager said this month’s “Firefighter of the Month” sets a good example to the cadets and he would like to invite Lieutenant Jones to the dais to present Firefighter Ishmael Roig to you. Lieutenant Jones stated he wanted to acknowledge “Firefighter of the Month” Ismail Roig for doing an outstanding job with the Cadet Program, which holds a special place in his heart, as it was the start to his career at 15 years of age, and both “Ish” and he shared in this program, as Ish also became a firefighter. Lieutenant Jones said that as you look on the news it’s hard to find a good example, and Firefighter City of Coral Gables Page 3 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 14, 2017 Roig has made himself very available and consistently driven to make sure that these young men and women are a valuable part of this community, so he wanted to definitely celebrate him and thank him for his commitment to not only our community, but our future. Chief de la Rosa stated that when the Cadet Program was reinstituted and reassigned to our firefighters it was his challenge that if young men and women want to pursue a career in the Fire Service he wanted the Cadet Program to better educate and prepare them for their pursuit after high school for a career in the fire service, and they surpassed all of his expectations, since all of the kids have completed the program on March 4th, that was spearheaded by Lieutenant Jones with the help of Firefighter David Vargas and Firefighter Ish Roig, whom are all now First Responders, which means that if they should pursue a career in the fire service they just completed a semester in College in a Firefighter program, and in this competitive age this is a significant advantage for our kids and with that he asked Firefighter Ish Roig to speak. Firefighter Roig stated the Coral Gables Fire Cadet Program is second to none, and the ability to change and impact the lives of our youth no one can put a price on, and that he personally knows this as he was a Coral Gables Fire Explorer at Coral Gables High School. Firefighter Roig stated that he was often headed in the wrong direction as a teenager and this program set him on the right path, and helped make him what he is today. Firefighter Roig stated that giving back is the greatest gift he could give and that he will continue to do so, and said that he looks forward to seeing more future doctors, nurses, firefighters, paramedics and other careers as a result of the Cadet Program., Firefighter Roig stated he would not have been able to be successful with the Cadet Program, if it were not for our Fire Administration: Chief de la Rosa, Chief Hernandez, Chief Barger and Lieutenant Jones, and his fellow instructors. Firefighter Roig thanked the City Commission for their support and time.] This Presentation/Protocol Document was Presented and Filed City Clerk Item No. 3 City of Coral Gables Page 4 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 14, 2017 A.-4. 17-5856 Congratulations to Mariana Price who holds the title Administrative Assistant, recipient of the "Employee of the Month Award," for the month of March, 2017.

Interim Human Resources Director Karla Green said she is proud to introduce Mariana Price of the Economic Development Department as the March “Employee of the Month“. Interim Human Resources Director Green stated that Mariana just recently completed her one year anniversary, and in that short period of time, she has displayed an amazing degree of dedication to her department and to her job by offering to take on extra duties, and without hesitation she volunteers to work after hours and on weekend events. Interim Human Resources Director Green added that Mariana’s friendly, positive and upbeat attitude has helped the Economic Development Department build a strong and solid team environment. Interim Human Resources Director Green asked everyone to watch the “Employee of the Month” Video. Economic Development Director Javier Betancourt stated that Economic Development is a very small department and said he is blessed to have such a dedicated team who wear many hats, but he said that Mariana wears so many hats she could open up her own “hattery”. Economic Development Director Javier Betancourt stated that Mariana does so many things, she is the administrative assistant, office manager, budget director, therapist, fitness coach, she’s gotten me to go on a diet, which is quite an accomplishment and for all those reasons and many more, congratulations Mariana.

City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark stated she has to make tough decisions and one of the toughest decisions is how to choose from among the twelve “Employees of the Month” the number one City employee for “Employee of the Year”. City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark stated that we presented to City Commission the “Police Officer of the Year”, the “Firefighter of the Year” and the “Communications Operator of the Year”, but every non-public safety employee is part of that “Employee of the Year” selection. City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark stated that she had to look for the “can-do” attitude, but she also had to look at someone who is admired by his peers, admired by those who work for him and admired by those he works for, and admired and celebrated by the residents. City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark said that Dayron Garcia respects, inspires and empowers his employees, when the permit counter gets busy he rolls up his sleeves, and he gets to work with his employees and not above his employees that serve the City. City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark stated that this is what makes Dayron a really great employee and added that he was also recently selected as the “Supervisor of the Quarter” through the City’s Morale Committee, which is an award that speaks to his leadership. City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark stated that the selection of the “Employee of the Year” is not only because of an employee’s many accomplishments, and we have ten years of accomplishments with Dayron, including Mobile Permitting, but it’s also the role they will play in the future as we build a better Coral Gables. City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark thanked the Mayor for declaring the day for Dayron, and said we had an “Employee of the Year” Breakfast that was coordinated by Human Resources, we have presented Dayron with a beautiful award that goes to the “Employee of the Year”, and we have also presented to him a check, because this is a family business and we want his family to celebrate as well, and today she stated she would like to enthusiastically present to the City Commission, Dayron Garcia, the “2016 Employee of the Year”. The “2016 Employee of the Year” Dayron Garcia thanked the City Commission and everyone who came by to see him and said he was very proud to be here to receive this award, and to be able to represent City employees and the Development City of Coral Gables Page 6 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 14, 2017 Services Department, since we are always the “bad guys”, so it is nice once and awhile that we get to win.] This Presentation/Protocol Document was Presented and Filed City Clerk Item No. 5 Non 17-6039 Presentation of Building and Zoning initiatives.

DISCUSSION ITEMS Mayor Cason: Discussion Items - Commissioner Keon you have anything? Commissioner Keon: I’m fine. Thank you. Mayor Cason: Commissioner Lago. Commissioner Lago: Make a Wish Foundation - We had a great event this past weekend. I don’t know if Martha is ready. Vice Mayor Quesada: No she doesn’t. Commissioner Lago: Yes, she does. Vice Mayor Quesada: No she doesn’t (laughter). Commissioner Lago: I have some pictures to show you. I just want to make you aware that the Commission had a team and you see that tall guy right there with the glasses, that’s Vice Mayor Quesada; there were seven heats, we won our heat, we won our heat, we had about 15 teams in our heat, about 75, 80 teams in all. The event raised $80,000 for Make a Wish Foundation, we granted 16 wishes. I wanted to commend ___ and Brian who I have the pleasure of working out with them at gym, they do an incredible job, this is the third year. They were extremely grateful for the City’s flexibility and their commitment. We ate 50 wings in three minutes and 25 seconds, we didn’t make it to the finals - the team of four ate 50 wings in three minutes and 25 seconds, we didn’t make it to the finals by about four or five seconds, and the finals was 25 wings as fast as you can. Mayor Cason: What about the bones, what about the bones?- did you eat the bones? Commissioner Lago: No, no. But we won our heat which I’m very proud of that and I will tell you, if you put that picture back up and I’ll tell you why we didn’t make it to the finals, put the picture back up. You see Commissioner Quesada, you see that picture, it’s got really bad technique, you have to continue to lean over. He’s so tall that by the time he picks up the chicken and takes it to his mouth… Vice Mayor Quesada: I have a height disadvantage. City of Coral Gables Page 23 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 14, 2017 Commissioner Lago: He has a huge height disadvantage. He thinks we are playing basketball. Mayor Cason: And it also looks like you were wiping your mouth after each chicken. Commissioner Lago: He’s wiping his mouth, he wanted to wear gloves, he had perfume on. I said, Vice Mayor, this is a contest you know, don’t worry, you look great. Mayor Cason: You think the guy in front of you had advantage. Commissioner Slesnick: He needs to be in training next time before he starts. Commissioner Lago: So we are going to do this again next year, we may be looking for a new location, potentially Ponce Circle Park or in front of City Hall; it would be a great opportunity. It was a great family atmosphere, spectacular family atmosphere. Vice Mayor will tell you there were a lot of young children there, my kids went and it was a few hundred people and we raised $80,000 and 100 percent of the proceeds outside of what we had to pay for the City permitting went to grant 16 wishes, so it’s going to be something spectacular, so again that’s number one; number two, I want to commend the City Manager and staff, because I want to make sure again, I know I mentioned it before, we have a sidewalk and we have a lighting program here in the City of Coral Gables, if you are a resident and you want sidewalks and you want lighting, it’s something I’m very proud of, this is something I worked on about a year ago, no one has taken advantage of this program, zero, it’s out there. Commissioner Keon: There is a group that is… Commissioner Lago: I know. I know. Those people are putting together, but I want to be very clear because in the debate it was discussed the other day, lighting is nowhere to be found and the City doesn’t do anything. Mayor Cason: Not true. Commissioner Lago: Well, first off we’ve been working with FPL for some time. We are working on different things that are forthcoming in regards to modifying and upgrading our existing lighting and we are in discussions with them to actually City of Coral Gables Page 24 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 14, 2017 potentially have LED lighting, but if you have an interest right now as a community, as a block, two blocks, three blocks, if you want to put sidewalks, if you want to put lighting in your area there is a path to achieving that goal. You can look in E-NEWS, you can look on the City website or you can write me an e-mail and I’ll point you in the right direction. The program already exists to achieve this goal. Mayor Cason: And we started back with the Neighborhood Renaissance Program for historic lights and we never had anybody who votes 50-50 on that one either, so. Commissioner Lago: And by the way Mayor, did you mention that, how many miles of sidewalks have we fixed or added in the last… Mayor Cason: Six miles. Commissioner Lago: Six miles of sidewalks have been added in the last few years and we’ve actually connected a whole host of sidewalks that were missing connectivity in regards to streets. Mayor Cason: Plus the capital program is roughly a mile more every year, so we are getting there. Commissioner Lago: So thank you. Mayor Cason: Anything else? We have a chance for rebuttal on the chicken wings. Vice Mayor Quesada: You know I’m OK with it, because there are actually worse pictures, so I’m glad those are the ones he picked. Commissioner Lago: I was very picky. Vice Mayor Quesada: Yes, there were some bad pictures. Real quick - I didn’t realize that some of the guardhouses we had County involvement, Madam City Manager. City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark: Actually its County control, but we have been meeting with the different homeowners associations and the City Attorney will be able to speak about a process that would return it to the City. City of Coral Gables Page 25 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 14, 2017 Vice Mayor Quesada: My only point on this topic is, I was approached by one homeowners association that they are trying to remove that, I guess interference, for a lack of a better word. So what can we do to remove that?- because this homeowners association wants to actually purchase the guard gate, because the security guards that they hire in addition for their neighborhood, they have to go through the County and then they say they have a lot of problems with selecting those security guards. City Attorney Leen: So Gables Estates when they came here with Laura Russo, remember they asked for us to change the law related to guardhouses. The Commission did and the City’s position is that applies to every guardhouse in Coral Gables; nevertheless the County has not been enforcing our law. Remember we reached a compromise where we put a sign in front of the guardhouses telling people to comply with the law. Anyhow, Gables Estates is the reason why it complies with the law is because it’s a private guardhouse, so that would be a possibility, but they would have to deal with the County to be able to become private guardhouse. Vice Mayor Quesada: How can we assist those homeowners associations? City Attorney Leen: My office and the City Manager can contact the County and ask them to…. Vice Mayor Quesada: This homeowners association wants to purchase the guardhouse because, I guess they’ve had a few robberies and they feel that it was the fault of the security guard, so they want to be able to select the better security company. City Attorney Leen: One other thing we are doing and this is something that staff is still looking at, I know, but legally now based on a Charter Amendment to the Miami-Dade Home Rule Charter, the City can take over the guardhouses from the County, it has to be done by an interlocal agreement; and so we are looking at that whether that’s feasible. I know that that’s something that the Commission, the City Manager and myself are interested in, we raised that with the County before and they raised this Charter Amendment, which has been adopted, so that’s something I know Public Works is looking at. Vice Mayor Quesada: OK. Commissioner Keon: I think the only issue - the reason that they are done through the City of Coral Gables Page 26 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 14, 2017 County is because it was done, it was built and then staffed and operated as an assessment to the property owner, instead of them appointing the costs, and having someone that actually takes care of the payroll and all that stuff independently. Vice Mayor Quesada: Got it. Commissioner Keon: I think that’s the difference of why they went that direction. City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark: But we’ve discussed the ability for the City to take over that responsibility and to have Public Safety work with them regarding the guard issues. Vice Mayor Quesada: One last thing is, we talked about plastic bags, but I think we should be a better role model and not have 15 plastic bottles here. Commissioner Slesnick: We have nice glasses. Vice Mayor Quesada: Can we, at least us try to start using the glasses? I know I’m bad about it also, because this is like my fifth bottle today. As Craig was discussing earlier it earlier here, all these plastic bottles in front of him, so I think we should just try to make an effort, including me, the first culprit here, but if we can get like a water cooler outside somewhere we can fill. Commissioner Lago: You taught me to use that water system that you have at your house, the one with the gas, what is it called? Vice Mayor Quesada: Soda Stream. Commissioner Lago: The Soda Stream. Vice Mayor Quesada: Do you have it? Commissioner Lago: No, I’m going to buy it, but you are the one who first showed it to me, that right there is normal water from the tap and it saves bottles… Mayor Cason: You guys promoting private enterprise, private companies? Vice Mayor Quesada: So we can just try in the future to actually use the glasses that City of Coral Gables Page 27 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 14, 2017 we have just for decoration. Mayor Cason: Yes. City Attorney Leen: Can I ask a question for the Commission? If staff finds it feasible, because remember they are looking at it, is the Commission interested in the guardhouse issue, I think that would be good to know. Vice Mayor Quesada: Oh yes. Mayor Cason: Sure - and I think that the homeowners association that’s what they want. Commissioner Slesnick: There were two cars stolen last week. Mayor Cason: Anything else? Vice Mayor Quesada: I’m sorry, she’s right. I that neighborhood there were two vehicles stolen, I believe the same night. Commissioner Slesnick: Because they went to Gables Estates first and the Gables Estates guard made them roll down the window and wouldn’t let them in because they didn’t know where they were going, but they went to this other gated community and went it and robbed two cars. Mayor Cason: So they didn’t do what they were supposed to do after certain times, roll the window down… City Attorney Leen: What one of those residents should do, I would request to send me an e-mail saying that and I’m going to forward it to the County because they really should be enforcing our law and every time this happens, we try to point it out to them. Vice Mayor Quesada: Let’s avoid that altogether. Let’s help this one community at least get away from this guard gate. City Attorney Leen: Understand. City of Coral Gables Page 28 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 14, 2017 Mayor Cason: Anything else? Vice Mayor Quesada: No, that’s it. Commissioner Slesnick: Two short things. No chicken wings served, but on Saturday there was a great St. Patrick’s Day Festival well attended over at Ponce Circle Park, and on Sunday we had Bike Walk right outside City Hall, and again lots of bike tours and great for young children and all sorts of games and fun houses and music and a great outdoor party for our citizens, and I’m really glad we have both of those events happening in Coral Gables. Mayor Cason: Great - Well, I guess March 28th will be the last Commission meeting for at least one of us, so we’ll see you then, meeting is adjourned. City Clerk Item No. 38 L.
