[Note for the Record: Following Mayor Cason’s reading of the title to Agenda Item A-3 (i.e. A farewell message on behalf of Mayor Jim Cason), Mayor Cason gave the following farewell message: Well, if I can take few moments of your time to say it’s been a real privilege to serve Coral Gables residents as your Mayor these past 6 years. I think this is our 150th meeting since we started 6 years ago and when I came in the first time I made 10 promises in 2011: I said I would be a full-time Mayor and I have been. I have worked in the best interests of the citizens of Coral Gables and have been respectful of their concerns. I answered all the emails; we have close to 20,000 emails, phone calls, and citizens that come to visit our City. My door was always open. I supported transparency and we have had no scandals. I helped greatly improve our troubled pension system. City of Coral Gables Page 2 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 28, 2017 As promised, we reduced our millage rate, beefed up our reserves and refinanced our debt, and got our Triple "A" bond ratings back. By getting our finances and pension reforms right, we were able to undertake major and long-delayed upgrades to roads and sidewalks, recreational facilities, fountains and entrances, historic buildings like the Merrick house and other infrastructural improvements, and have a $200 million Capital Improvement Plan underway. I avoided conflicts of interest and favoritism: one will remember that I promised to have no business interests in Florida, and I don’t, and then as now I have no cunados or brothers-in-law, and thus have owed nobody any favors. When I first ran, people said I was not one of them, and thus I should not be elected. But, as an outsider I did not have any childhood or fraternity friends here that could call on me for favors. And, I have been a very active Ambassador of the city, as you all know I was an Ambassador and Diplomat for 38 years, I asked my assistant to count the number of events; 5,946 events, meetings and other duties of the office, since I took office 6 years ago. Woody Allen reminds us that 80 percent of success is just showing up. In 6 years, I never missed a commission meeting, or a vote. Under my leadership, we all show up and vote. From 2001-2010, Commissioners walked out, or did not vote 476 times! Those days are no more. And as promised, I have fostered an open, civil and collegial environment here on the dais. We have a no-drama Commission and get things done in a respectful, efficient and harmonious manner, which I think is a rarity in Miami-Dade County. Our work is marked by mutual respect, decorum and thoughtful consideration of tough issues. I promised never to become a professional politician. I still consider myself a diplomat. And so, I resisted the temptation to stay another two years, and am voluntarily stepping down to pass the leadership mantle to another. Our progress was built on consensus and fairness. I owe much to my commission colleagues, the city staff, Cathy, Craig, Walter, my assistant Evelyn Paz and my interns over the years, thousands of supporting city residents and, not the least, the encouragement and patience of my wife, Carmen. So, what have we accomplished in the past six years? We will take a visual look back in a few minutes, but I want to summarize our main achievements. · Think back 6 years ago. City of Coral Gables Page 3 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 28, 2017 · Don’t you agree we are much better off today than we were then? · In 2010 we had paltry reserves, millage rates were much higher, and our streets hadn’t been paved for years. Our sidewalks were a disaster, and we hadn’t replaced the 3,000 trees that died over the years. Segovia, Ponce de Leon, Alhambra Circle and Le Jeune did not have the beautiful trees that are there now. · The Biltmore owed us $5 million; we hadn’t yet begun serious pension reform. · Crime was significantly higher than today, we had fewer police on the payroll and had made few investments in crime-fighting technology. · We had controlled school choice, and no senior center. · For 35 years, our downtown streetscape renewal was the subject of lots of talk, but no action. There was always an excuse not to begin renovation. · We had a nasty unresolved fight over a charter school brewing. · There were no 4th of July fireworks, for lack of money. · Squatters, abandoned and derelict homes were beginning to appear. · And 803 residents owed us $3.7 million in unpaid garbage and other fees. · Most of our debt was high interest and a variable rate. That was then. Today · The Biltmore has paid in full, and we have collected all unpaid garbage bills enabling us to buy the Fink building downtown with the proceeds. · Crime is way down and far, far lower than in 2010 and we have innovative plans to lower it further. · We’ve made major pension reforms, while reaching fair and financially prudent contracts with all three unions. · The voters allowed non-commercial overnight pickup parking, so Stephen Colbert can no longer make fun of our city for that anachronistic prohibition. · We have our beautiful, spacious Senior Center. · And will soon have our renovated downtown. · We have 3,000 new trees, 5 miles of repaired and newly connected sidewalks, 50 miles of repaved streets and many new parks. · Fireworks are back and squatters, derelict and abandoned houses are largely a thing of the past · Our cultural institutions are flourishing, new businesses are here and our quality of life remains among the best in the world, as recognized by Livable Communities with a silver medal in China. · The Charter school is no longer an issue. Controlled school choice is gone. · Clearly we are in the midst of a Renaissance and with our finances squared away, have many new options before us. · And we are a much greener city than before, with many initiatives underway to make us a sustainability leader. I am proud of my growing role as a national commentator on sea level rise and the climate changes challenges that imperil our future. · Coral Gable is demonstrably better than ever! City of Coral Gables Page 4 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 28, 2017 Now let’s see our film visually highlighting these and other successes these past six years. The video was then shown. After the video, Mayor Cason gave some final thoughts as follows: I have been a public servant for 47 years, I worked for five federal agencies (State, Defense, Commerce, Interior and Agriculture) and I have had the honor to serve 6 years as Ambassador of the United States -the President’s personal representative- in Cuba and Paraguay, and 7 years as Deputy Ambassador to Jamaica and Honduras, and that after I retired from the Foreign Service I chose Coral Gables to be my community and home forever, and I have given all my time and effort to improving our new hometown, and have had to forgo many other opportunities to do so. Public service has been my life and that of my family; my father was a Naval Aviator and so was one of my sons, my sisters all are teachers or in fire rescue, my uncle was a Marine Colonel and my nephew, a nuclear submariner. We were brought up to be respectful, patriotic, dutiful and true to our word, and as your Mayor, I never forgot those vows, so I thank you all for your support and collaboration these past six years and look forward to helping the community progress again in the future. Now people are asking me, what are you going to do next? Let’s watch some choices. The video was then shown. Commissioner Keon said that Mayor Cason has been a pleasure. Vice Mayor Quesada, stated that he would like to say a few things about Mayor Cason, as we first got elected on the same day, and we first met when we were knocking door to door during their respective campaigns. Vice Mayor Quesada stated that it’s funny, before he was Mayor, everybody thought of Jim as the most famous Cuban, even though he is not Cuban; so the first time I met him I asked him where his family was from in Cuba, and he told me New Jersey, so that was the first time I met Jim and that was my first impression. Vice Mayor Quesada further pointed out that we have seen eye to eye on issues in the community, and we have also disagreed a lot (pickup trucks - in jest). Vice Mayor Quesada stated that I will always remember, when I became a Commissioner with Jim being on this dais discussing the Biltmore. Vice Mayor Quesada, said you know the Biltmore, as residents we love it, when you campaign for office you hear so many great things about the Biltmore, and when you’re a resident it’s your country club where you go to weddings, graduations and other special events, and it was a very tough issue, and I remember Jim and I on that issue, a lot of discussions back and forth on the dais and that is one of my fondest memories serving with him. Vice Mayor Quesada, stated that his colleagues on the Commission wanted to do something nice for him, and as Vice Mayor I took it upon myself with Cathy, to get something for him, we weren’t going to give you a key, who really wants a key, we give so many of those away, and City of Coral Gables Page 5 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 28, 2017 we can’t give you something framed, because you have 45 frames already in your office and another frame would just be for the stack, so we had to do something different. Vice Mayor Quesada stated that the first thing they got you was City Hall. Vice Mayor Quesada read the inscription on the replica statue of City Hall. Vice Mayor Quesada presented the second gift, adding this is a little fun, and this something which previous administrations frowned upon, that past Mayor’s should have something on behalf of the City that they can pass out, it is a nice touch; so we designed something that goes to Mayor Cason, that when the Mayor talks about his successes with the City, finances is the one most mentioned. So, with that Vice Mayor Quesada unveiled the first Coral Gables dollar bearing Mayor Jim Cason’s image. Vice Mayor Quesada asked for the cameras to zoom in on the dollar as he described the Coral Gables dollar, which states “In Jim We Trust”. Vice Mayor Quesada said it has been a pleasure serving with Mayor Cason and he looks forward to getting into at least one more fight with him today, at this Commission meeting before he leaves the dais; in closing thanking him so much, on behalf of the entire Commission. City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark said it was her pleasure serving with Mayor Cason and asked Public Works Director Ed Santamaria and Assistant Public Works Director John Osgood to make the final presentation. Assistant Public Works Director John Olson said we would like to present him with this artifact (swale button) that is now very rare in the City of Coral Gables. Vice Mayor Quesada, explained to the audience that the Commission had recently banned buttons in the City swales and Mayor Cason was the most ardent supporter of banning buttons from the swales. Commissioner Lago stated it has truly been a pleasure the last four years to serve with Mayor Cason and when he embarked upon Public Office he undertook one of the most rigorous itineraries, and he has done some incredible heavy lifting over the last 6 years, and not only does this Commission and the employee thank him, but the entire City thanks him as well. Commissioner Lago stated that he wanted to tell the Mayor that he considered him not only a colleague, but a mentor to all of us with your 38 years of experience in diplomacy, which has paid significant dividends to this community and the City. Commissioner Lago stated that Mayor Cason left us in the best financial shape the City has ever been, you have done incredible things in reference to quality of life from buying parks, to planting thousands of trees, to fixing sidewalks and streets left in a derelict state for many years, he undertook Miracle Mile, which he will not get enough credit for; and it took a person and Commission to make a stand, even though it has not gone perfectly, but no construction project goes perfectly especially after being abandoned for 30 years. Commissioner Lago said, there is nothing I could tell him or we could give him today, to really show how really City of Coral Gables Page 6 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 28, 2017 grateful we are for the service he has given to this community. Commission Lago added, that we have agreed on many issues and not agreed on a few issues, but he has always been a gentleman, he has never played politics and the tone he set the last four years and the tenor has been one that we are the envy of every other City in Miami-Dade County, and with that thanked Mayor Cason.] This Presentation/Protocol Document was Presented and Filed City Clerk Item No. 2 B.

DISCUSSION ITEMS Mayor Cason: For discussion why don’t we start with you? Vice Mayor Quesada: Alright, I’ve got a few things, got to extend Jim Cason’s reign a little bit longer. Mayor Cason: So moved. [Laughter] Mayor Cason: I had to say that one more time. City of Coral Gables Page 29 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 28, 2017 Vice Mayor Quesada: You can’t make a motion Mr. Mayor, you should know that by now. Mayor Cason: Moving forward. Vice Mayor Quesada: Moving forward. Dorothy Thomson, this is something I approached her like two years ago, whether you like her or you don’t, I think most people like her, I think everyone likes her, she’s a pioneer in our City. She was the first female Mayor in our City, and this is woman’s month and I’ve been trying to move this through for the last two years, and I think its important that we have something named after her. I thought a park, I had thought different things and actually approached Dorothy about it and said look, I want to try to do this, I want to try to leave this, because I don’t feel like you’ve been recognized in the proper way. Obviously, she has her picture in City Hall, but again, I think it’s a big deal and I think its long overdue. So what I would like to do is I’d like to place a plaque on her office or just outside the office of when she was Mayor, the office that she sat at. Mayor Cason: And the existing plaque on the outside is about this size. Vice Mayor Quesada: Whatever staff sees fit, whatever she would like to see also. Typically for something like this, the individual would have to be deceased, I think that takes a little bit of the fun out of it, so she and her family can enjoy it. Again, if the will is on this Commission to do that. Technically it would need a four-fifths vote to allow it. Commissioner Lago: From the last time I checked, Bill is still around right, and we’ve got to talk to him after. Mayor Cason: And he’s got a plaque. Commissioner Keon: Place a plaque. Vice Mayor Quesada: Yes, place a plaque outside the office of where she sat as Mayor. Mayor Cason: Yes, there is one plaque on one side where it says Mayor, put it on the other side, just balance it off. City of Coral Gables Page 30 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 28, 2017 Vice Mayor Quesada: I’d like it to be something nice, really acknowledging that she was the first female Mayor in our City’s history, not to say we won’t have future female Mayors in our City, but I think its important for the first one and she did it quite a bit of time ago. Mayor Cason: So I agree. Vice Mayor Quesada: So I think its something special and I think its nice and I think its well deserved. So before I make a motion, I’d like to hear if everyone is OK with it. Mayor Cason: I’m in favor. Commissioner Lago: I think its great. All: Yes. Mayor Cason: So unanimous. Vice Mayor Quesada: OK. So its unanimous. Mayor Cason: Unanimous resolution. Done. Vice Mayor Quesada: All I would ask for staff is to reach out with Mayor Thomson and to work on the details so that we would have a nice event. What I would also ask the staff is any member that she served with be present and we have an unveiling and we do a nice little event and this Commission, including the soon to be former Mayor should be present as well. Mayor Cason: Sure. Vice Mayor Quesada: So we have a nice event at that time. Mayor Cason: So ordered. Vice Mayor Quesada: That’s number one; number two, the project related to the parking garage is on Andalusia. I had discussed this with our City Manager, I had City of Coral Gables Page 31 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 28, 2017 discussed this with the applicant. We had discussed potentially, now this is completely informal, this is something I had discussed with the applicant, because they were nervous because of election time, they thought it was going to add a little bit of trouble with the timing because we had given them six months to negotiate and I had discussed it with the City Manager whether we should give them more time considering with election time, giving a little bit more time to negotiate based on staff’s needs, you had mentioned to me that we’ll see how time goes. City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark: Thank you sir. We’ve also said that the clock hasn’t started ticking yet. That you gave us six months to begin negotiations, to have negotiations, we had a general no attorneys, no nothing, meeting, but we said in meeting with us that wasn’t that the clock was ticking. Vice Mayor Quesada: OK. City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark: So that calendar hasn’t begun. Vice Mayor Quesada: OK. I just want to make sure that - I know that we have so many things going on with the City and I know at least a developer was concerned, hey, are we going to have enough time to negotiate all of this. I don’t want to put additional pressure on you, as I’ve told Peter many times, I think your plate is overflowing with how much work we have going on right now with all the different projects, and I just want to make sure that we don’t negotiate something poorly because we are limited on time. That’s it. Other than that I’m done. Mayor Cason: OK. Commissioner Slesnick. Commissioner Slesnick: I just want to mention Merrick House is completely dark at night now and if we had any way of leaving some lights over there on the porch or whatever, because there are, the neighbors tell me there is activity there at night and maybe we should have police patrol the area a little bit more or have some lights over there. Also, I understand too that in the development of the Merrick House and all the money that’s going to be spent over there, there is no plan to have any additional lights outside that could be used for evening activities and so forth, so if we could maybe look in before its completed to have some kind of lighting system or even a small lighting system and the lights will be there to have evening activities. City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark: We are having discussions with, I think probably City of Coral Gables Page 32 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 28, 2017 the same person that is speaking with you. Commissioner Slesnick: He is a Merrick House Board Member. Commissioner Lago: I sent you an e-mail about that last week. City Manager Swanson-Rivenbark: Yes. And so we are working with the Assistant City Manager and Historical Resources. Commissioner Slesnick: Also Walter, I haven’t missed any votes in my two years of being on the Commission and I want to cast a yes for the one on the financial reports, so its 5-0 instead of 4-0, on the financial report. I was out. City Attorney Leen: The Commission can allow that. Mayor Cason: So ordered. Commissioner Slesnick: Thank you. And last but not least, we have an impending election and this could be my last regular Commission meeting, and I just want to thank my fellow citizens in Coral Gables who have supported me from my last two years. It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve everyone in our community to the best of my abilities and to keep Coral Gables a safe, unique, and beautiful place and I just thank you very, very much for allowing me to be a public servant here in the City of Coral Gables. Mayor Cason: Thank you. Commissioner Lago - Commissioner Keon anything? Commissioner Lago? Commissioner Lago: I’m perfect. Mayor Cason: You’re not perfect, you’re almost perfect, you’re almost perfect. [Laughter] Mayor Cason: OK. Well that’s it. So moved. That’s it. Meeting adjourned.
