Foreman Hassan stated besides his work here, he is a great family man and great man in general, and whenever the City of Coral Gables allows one of our guys to retire after 25 years, that’s a great job and a great service.

Chief de la Rosa stated when we hire firefighters we do a rigorous background check and interview process to gain a perspective on individuals were going to hire and once they go to that process, then it becomes did we get it right?-and that is always the unknown, someone looks good on paper but is not necessarily a fit. Chief de la Rosa further stated with this class, these 4 gentlemen that are up here today that got hired together, if he had to look for words to summarize them all, it would be City of Coral Gables Page 3 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 10, 2018 professionalism, dedication, tenacity and work ethic, and if he had to look for someone to provide a good set of examples as to how one should spend 25 years of their career, all four of them and one who could not be here today, are all excellent examples. Chief de la Rosa stated they have all contributed much more than they have taken during their tenure here, all of them have been part of major capital projects, they have been part of representing their City throughout the world in extrication, they have all been part of developing our cadet program, so he can recognize each one by themselves, but collectively they have been a force to be reckoned with in our City. Chief de la Rosa then introduced and presented 25-year service pins to Captain Acevedo, Lieutenant Alpizar, Captain Anderson, and Deputy Chief Hernandez.] This Presentation/Protocol Document was Presented and Filed City Clerk Item No. 4 A.-5. 18-7236 Presentation of a twenty-five year service pin to Fire Captain Kenneth Anderson, Fire Department.

Public Service Division Director Dannemiller stated that he could talk for a long time about Ron, but most recently his effort during the Hurricane Irma cleanup was herculean and that’s underselling it, and without him we would not have been able to clean up the storm as fast and as efficiently, and somewhat sanely as we did, further thanking him for his efforts. Public Service Division Director Dannemiller stated he also appreciates the hard work Ron does on a day-to-day basis, as we have over 360 sites that he has to visit every 2 weeks on top of special events and he is the “Jack-of-all-Trades” and were lucky to have him here in the City. Co-worker Ariel Fernandez stated he worked with Ron for 30 years and he just retired, but came back to work as a part-time employee and hopefully Ron will come back to keep making the City beautiful. Ariel Fernandez stated that Ron is hard worker and they have been through all the hurricanes together and we worked very hard as young men and added humorously, when we had a full head of hair, so hopefully he comes back and they keep making the City beautiful. Public Service Division Director Dannemiller stated that Landscape Foreman Bob Boberman has been here for 20 years and he is a “doer”, if you give him something he’ll run with it and get it done, and added humorously he is like a bee on 20 cups of coffee. Public Service Division Director Dannemiller recalled that on his first week on the job, Bob said the City Hall Courtyard needed to be spruced up and asked him if he could do something about it and 2 hours later everything was pulled out and he was asking what he wanted planted there, so this Courtyard is one of Bob’s pet projects. Public Service Division Director Dannemiller further stated his attention to detail is amazing and we are lucky to have him and he can’t say enough about Bob, adding humorously that Bob hates being in this environment, so he is trying to keep him at the podium as long as possible. Senior Foreman Crumbley stated that working with Bob Boberman and the rest of our team has been a great pleasant family like experience and added humorously we appreciate you Uncle Bob even though it does not always feel like it, but we appreciate you a lot, we go through a lot together, but we always do it together. Senior Foreman Crumbley stated our Division is great in a large part because of Bob.] This Presentation/Protocol Document was Presented and Filed City Clerk Item No. 7 City of Coral Gables Page 5 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 10, 2018 A.-8. 18-7239 Congratulations to Officer Ignacio Rivera Quiñones, recipient of the City of Coral Gables “Officer of the Month Award,” for the month of February, 2018. Attachments: COMMISSION COVER MEMO - OFFICER OF THE MONTH FEBRUARY 2018 NOMINATION MEMO - FEBRUARY - Quinones [Note for the Record: Following Mayor Valdes-Fauli’s reading of the title to Agenda Item 8 (i.e. Congratulations to Officer Ignacio Rivera Quiñones, recipient of the City of Coral Gables “Officer of the Month Award,” for the month of February, 2018), Mayor Valdez-Fauli called up Chief Hudak to the podium to make the presentation. Chief Hudak stated every month the Awards Selection Committee gets the chance to recognize the officers outstanding performance, further stating that while all of our residences and we sleep at night, there is a group of officers, mostly young individuals, who go out at night to patrol the streets and keep it safe, that continues to drive our safe way of living in Coral Gables. Chief Hudak stated Officer Quiñones came to us from the Florida Highway Patrol, we stole him, and he does an outstanding job, and Sergeant Soto are new sergeants on the midnight shift, recognized him for his work, so he is going to let her talk about his nomination and how he took dangerous drugs off the streets of Coral Gables. Sergeant Soto stated she is humbled to have nominated Officer Quiñones for the Officer of the Month February, 2018 and she further described the actions that led to this nomination. Sergeant Soto stated In the month of February, Officer Quiñones self-initiated 2 traffic stops in Coral Gables, which resulted in 2 narcotics arrests and more importantly purged the streets of dangerous drugs. Sergeant Soto stated that on February 5, 2018, Officer Quiñones was patrolling his area when he observed a vehicle committing a traffic violation and he stopped and made contact with the driver as he normally would, but he took another step further, he asked the driver for consent to search the vehicle, which the driver gave him, and he was able to discover suspected crystal methamphetamine and other paraphernalia. Sergeant Soto stated that Officer Quinones intuition kicked in and while interacting with this driver he suspected criminal activity was afoot, so even though he didn’t have enough to search the vehicle without consent, he went a step forward and he was able to get those drugs off the street. Sergeant Soto stated a couple of days later on February 27th, when Officer Quiñones was again on patrol, he observed another vehicle committing a traffic violation and stopped that vehicle as well, and when he was interacting with the driver he smelled cannabis coming from the vehicle, which at that time he asked for a canine officer to assist him and he discovered $16,011.00 in US currency, 3 sheets of LSD, 3483.5 Grams of cannabis (7.6 LB), 2 cartridges of cannabis in oil form, and 26 packs of edible cannabis (Candy Form). Sergeant Soto stated Officer Quiñones’ keen eye for suspicious driving patterns and his initiative resulted in the arrest of an offender, who a City of Coral Gables Page 6 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 10, 2018 week prior had been arrested by Miami Beach Police with an equivalent amount of narcotics in his vehicle, so with this new arrest he was able to get this offender off the streets by the revoking of his bond. Sergeant Soto stated Officer Quiñones was a Florida Highway Patrol Trooper for two years prior to joining the Coral Gables Police Department and he brought with him traffic enforcement and narcotic interdiction experience and knowledge that have benefited the citizens of Coral Gables, which is evident by these aforementioned cases. Sergeant Soto stated that the United States is currently dealing with a narcotic epidemic and Officer Quiñones’ drive has rid the streets of these narcotics, and for my squad, which is the Alpha 400 Squad, the Midnight squad, he has been a leader in assisting the other officers and it is routine that she hears someone asking him to come to their traffic stop, so he can assist them, and again she is honored for nominating him for February 2018, adding he deserves it. Officer Quiñones thanked everyone for coming here today, thanked Sergeant Soto for his nomination, which made him feel very special, he thanked his Command staff for allowing him to do what he does, and further stating it is privilege to work here and do what he loves every day, adding he comes to work every day happy and goes home every day happy because of what he does.] This Presentation/Protocol Document was Presented and Filed City Clerk Item No. 8 A.-9. 18-7211 Congratulations to Communications Operator Sureya Serret, recipient of the City of Coral Gables “Communications Operator of the Year Award for 2017.” Attachments: COMMISSION COVER MEMO - OPERATOR OF THE YEAR 2017 - SUREYA OPERATOR OF THE YEAR [Note for the Record: Following Mayor Valdes-Fauli’s reading of the title to Agenda Item 9 (i.e. Congratulations to Communications Operator Sureya Serret, recipient of the City of Coral Gables “Communications Operator of the Year Award for 2017”), Chief Hudak and Chief de la Rosa came forward to present the “Communications Operator of the Year”. Chief Hudak stated as you will hear from both the Fire Chief and himself, we can prepare our troops and our troops are prepared to handle just about every situation they come across, but most firefighters and police officers probably get the most anxiety when you have to answer a 911 Call at the Communications Center. Chief Hudak further stated that when they push the button they don’t know what’s coming, they get it totally cold, they get the information, they get our officers there safely, they get pertinent information, they communicate on average on one accident on U.S. 1, taking up to fifteen to thirty 911 calls for just one accident. Chief Hudak stated these Communications Operators handle these calls every day, 24 hours per day and Sureya’s efforts have been remarkable throughout her career, and he is happy that we City of Coral Gables Page 7 City Commission Meeting Minutes April 10, 2018 have a chance to recognize her again this year. Chief de la Rosa stated he would like to echo what Chief Hudak said about our Communications Operators. Chief de la Rosa stated he knows he can do his job, his job is easy to him, what he can’t do is type, answer a phone, dispatch and think 3 steps ahead. Chief de la Rosa further stated in an emergency your immediate need is support and that support can only come from one place our 911 Center, so this week we honor all telecommunicators, we honor you as our “Telecommunicator of the Year”, but really it is every day, because it all starts with picking up that phone in the 911 Center. Chief de la Rosa congratulated Communications Operator Serret, adding he is very thankful for the job that communications operators do every day. Mayor Valdez-Fauli stated it’s a wonderful morning and it makes us proud to recognize so many fine officers and fine people who work for the City of Coral Gables.] This Presentation/Protocol Document was Presented and Filed City Clerk Item No. 9 Agenda Items C-1 and H-1 are related.
