A. PRESENTATIONS AND PROTOCOL DOCUMENTS
A.-1. 17-6169 Presentation of a Proclamation declaring June 13, 2017 as "Craig Curry Day" in Coral
Gables.
[Note for the Record: Following Mayor Valdes-Fauli’s reading of the title to Agenda
Item 1 (i.e. Presentation of a Proclamation declaring June 13, 2017 as "Craig Curry
Day" in Coral Gables), Mayor Valdez-Fauli stated we are very proud of Greg Curry
and what he has done for Coral Gables. Mayor Valdez-Fauli read the Proclamation.
Mr. Curry thanked the City of Coral Gables for proclaiming June 13, 2017 as Craig
Curry Day. Mr. Curry stated that he wanted talk about 1965 and beyond where he
got his foundation in Coconut Grove, where he learned to play football and where he
wanted to emulated the bigger guys on the George Washington Carver High School
Football Team. Mr. Curry stated he had the opportunity to attend Coral Gables High
School in 1965, where his skills were sharpened, where he was coached by a
dynamic and award winning coach, namely Coach Nick Kotys, where we were on a
bigger stage playing games in stadiums seating 40,000 and we were frequently
outnumbering the games that were played at the University of Miami. Mr. Curry
stated from there he went to the University of Minnesota where he played and
matured, but unfortunately he was unable to play his first year as a freshman, because
of academic shortcomings, but he added that was the best thing to happen to him, as
he learned how to study and learned and matured as a human being and academician
and obtained his degree in Psychology, and a Master’s in Athletic Administration.
Mr. Curry stated he had an opportunity to play for the Miami Dolphins being drafted
by the Dolphins in 1972; the year they went undefeated, and added humorously that
otherwise he would have had a different kind of ring on his finger. Mr. Curry stated
through all of that, the most important thing right now is the youth who he is working
with in South Florida and the rest of the country in making sure that no one is slipping
through the cracks and the many who want to can succeed, and he has put together a
consulting company that helps students, mostly student athletes to get into college and
to make sure that they can live their dreams even when their playing days are over.
Mr. Curry thanked the City of Coral Gables, all of his friends and everyone that have
come out to witness this, and said humorously that 50 years does not seem all that
long ago, but sometimes in the morning when he wakes up, he can tell it’s been 50
years.
Mayor Valdez-Fauli presented the Proclamation to Mr. Curry and thanked him for
everything he has done for our City and said it is wonderful to have these types of
presentations and get the opportunity to meet very fine people].

transparency and accountability. Commissioner Lago stated with an annual Operating
Budget of almost $170 million and a 5 year Capital Budget of approximately $200
million, careful budgeting is essential to ensure the proper and efficient use of our most
important sources of income - the Coral Gables taxpayer. Commissioner Lago stated
he would like to congratulate Keith and his dedicated staff for his hard work and all of
the excellent results we have had with our Triple A Bond Rating, the highest reserves
in our City’s history, 5 straight years of lowering millage rates; and further stated that
these individuals deserve a lot of recognition, because they have shored up a City that

intimidated by the permitting process. Interim Human Resources Director Green

said that Ernie has gone back to school and sees a bright future for this young
professional and that he has never had a bad day he smiles all day long. Interim

Assistant Bermudez adding that this recognition is a well-deserved honor.
Plans Coordinator Assistant Bermudez thanked everyone from the selection process
and Mr. Wu and his supervisors, who instill confidence in me every day, his family
and friends who without them he would not be the person his am today, and the
people whom he works with day and day out they are ones that back him up and
support him and make him look good].
