Attachments: Citizen Recognition of Valor B.Glenn.pdf Mayor Valdes-Fauli introduced the Agenda Item and Police Chief Edward James Hudak, Jr., was asked to make the presentation. In making the presentation, Police Chief Hudak asked the members of his staff to join him at the podium. He began by summarizing the incident which occurred on December 5, 2019, when the City was subjected to violence as seen on TV and throughout the country, and which unfortunately ended tragically. He continued by saying that these incidents make us all think and evaluate what and how we do what we do. In the police department sometimes he said, it is their pleasure to recognize some people, citizens even by their job that help to keep you and our society safer. He then introduced FPI Security Officer Brian Glenn who was on duty at the time of the incident, and heard several loud bangs, which were gunshots at City Hall coming from the direction of the City Clerk’s Office. In route to the City Clerk’s Office Security Officer Glenn met the City Clerk, who informed him that someone had just shot through his office window. He immediately hit the emergency button on his radio and advised the Coral Gables Dispatcher that shots had been fired at City Hall and requested police assistance. Without regard for his safety, he assisted Director Suramy Cabrera who was outside of the building by escorting her safely into the building and he remained standing outside of City Hall in harm’s way, in an attempt to gain more information to assist responding units which arrived in less than a minute. He briefed the responding officers on the incident and assisted them by securing the front door at City Hall, ensuring that no one entered or left the building. Police Chief Hudak continued by saying that officers are expected to be brave and are rewarded for their valor, but City of Coral Gables Page 1 City Commission Meeting Minutes February 11, 2020 today he and the Police Department Command staff are honored to present Security Officer Glenn with the “Citizen of Valor Award” and congratulated him. [Applause and a standing ovation]. Security Officer Glenn thanked everyone including Bethany Gray, his partner for her support and wished her an early Happy Valentine’s Day. He thanked the Police Department and stated that he has been a security officer for almost 15 years, and response time is key for them because there are moments when an incident happens, and you wait for police to get there to help you, but they were there in less than a minute, 45 seconds -- he believes it was. He thanked the City Commission and management, and said it is a privilege to work for them and is glad that he could have been of service to them as well as all the employees he has worked with over the last four years. Additionally, he also thanked the employees for the kindness they have shown him and their patience that day when they were told they couldn’t get to go home. [Applause and standing ovation].

L.Maestre.pdf Mayor Valdes-Fauli introduced the Agenda Item and Police Chief James Edward Hudak, Jr., made the presentation to Communications Operator Linda Maestre, who is the recipient of the “Operator of the Quarter Award” for the Fourth Quarter 2019. Police Chief Hudak stated that the City of Coral Gables has some of the best and brightest Communications Operators in Miami-Dade County in handling 911 calls. Linda Maestre is the quintessential person who exemplifies what they have in their communications system with the operators, and the care she gives to her job every day is noteworthy among her peers, so much so, that she has left and came back as a training operator and instilled her expertise in the younger officers and operators. She goes above and beyond and while taking time-off through seniority, has given up her time-off and has gone so far as to pass it off so that other operators new to the organization, could have time with their families, if need be, when it comes time for their schedules. She faces challenges head on and find ways to motivate trainees and any struggles they may encounter. It is because of her exemplary qualities, that she is being honored as the “Operator of the Quarter Award” for the Fourth Quarter 2019 as well as “Operator of the Year 2019”. Communications Operator Maestre apologized for being tardy because she wanted to bring her children. Family is important to her, and wanted her daughters there, and of course, her work family. She is honored and privileged to work with everyone, because they make her proud and is happy to be part of this organization. She then thanked the City Commission and those who nominated her for the award, and she is truly honored and grateful.

Chief Hudak stated that when the “2019 Holiday Season Operation Plan”, which was created to provide increased coverage and visibility to deter criminals, interrupt crime patterns and keep people safe while protecting property, Officer Guerra volunteered to adjust his normal working hours to work during the holiday shopping season. It was during this time that he was able to arrest five individuals, two of whom were involved in burglaries in the City of Miami, and that was not the first time that Officer Guerra has volunteered his time to make our streets safe. It is because of his dedication to do so; he is being recognized as the Officer for the month of December 2019. Officer Guerra said he was appreciative of the award and accredited all he does to the great training he receives from staff and the department and thanked everyone.

J.McKee.pdf Police Chief James Edward Hudak, Jr., acknowledged the recipient for the “Detective of the Quarter Award” - Fourth Quarter 2019, Detective Jimmy McKee, a 20-year veteran with the City of Coral Gables. Police. Chief Hudak stated that recognition of Detective and Officer of the Month are given because people don’t understand that they can handle 8-10 hours on patrol, but a case load lasts forever until you close the case. So, they started years ago recognizing detectives for the work they have done. Some of the cases Detective McKee has solved involved peeping Tom cases in and around the University of Miami, sex battery investigations, a domestic violence investigation and a child abuse case. This is just a snapshot of everything he has done in the fourth quarter and because of that he was nominated by his peers and selected by the Award Selection Committee who awarded Detective McKee with the “2019 Fourth Quarter “Detective of the Fourth Quarter” Award. Detective McKee thanked the City Commission, Police Chief Hudak as well as his (Criminal Investigation Department) CID staff, Major Medina, the selection team and everyone he works with daily.

Attachments: COMMISSION COVER MEMO - OFFICER OF THE YEAR 2019.doc Police Chief James Edward Hudak, Jr., introduced the recipients Officers Alexander Toledo and Christopher Challenger, marine patrol officers who received the “Officer of the Year Award”, for 2019 who are being credited for arresting three subjects involved in an armed carjacking robbery. They were able to arrest the carjackers because of their keen observation and recognition from the description given, as well as by the verification of the license plate when they saw said subjects sitting in the vehicle. Both officers then took the subjects into custody. Upon further investigation into the background of the perpetrators, they obtained information in which they were responsible for numerous similar types of violent crimes throughout Miami-Dade County, and had it not been for these City of Coral Gables Page 5 City Commission Meeting Minutes February 11, 2020 officers’ keen police intuition, it is likely that they would still be preying on residents in our community. It is for this reason, Officers Toledo and Challenger are the recipients of the “Officer of the Year Award” for 2019. Officer Challenger thanked everyone, including those officers who were honored prior to them receiving their award and all who have been doing a good work for Coral Gables. He thanked Officer Toledo and stated he would do anything for him and is sure he would do the same. He continued by saying that in a stressful situation, it is good to have a partner that you don’t worry about, you know he has your back, and that is the same with all marine patrol, they are our brothers too, and would interchange with any of them, and they would do the same thing. He thanked the committee, their former sergeant Randy Hoff who nominated them, as well as their current sergeant, Velier Zaccheo. Officer Toledo thanked the Police Chief Hudak for all the support given to them, their command staff Brian Lawrence, their Major and Lieutenant who weren’t in attendance and the City Commission.

This Agenda Item was Discussed and Filed K. CITY CLERK ITEMS None L. DISCUSSION ITEMS Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Anything else? Vice Mayor Lago: I have one item. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Of course, go ahead. Vice Mayor Lago: I just want to remind - first of all I wanted to say thank you to the Commission and to staff and to the City Manager, and City Attorney for waiving the fees in regard to the Make a Wish Foundation event, which is going to happen on February 29th. Its going to be a wonderful event. I just want to put this out there. I’m City of Coral Gables Page 22 City Commission Meeting Minutes February 11, 2020 sponsoring the event, so I’m going to have four teams and I’m going to sponsor personally. One is going to be for police. I need the police to get together, four police officers for the wing eating contest. I had a feeling you’d be in. So, I’m sponsoring four police officers, four firefighters, four general employees and I wanted to do something that we did three years ago and that is sponsor the Commission. So past and present. So, I may try to bring in some large in height in stature individuals to see if they maybe can help us finally win, because the last time we did this we were robbed. So, if anybody wants to or is in town, because I know that some of us are sometimes out of town, February 29th from the Commission, have four open spaces, including myself - one team police, one team firefighter, and one general employees. I’m sponsoring myself, my own personal money from my company. So, I think it’s a great cause. I appreciate, again, the Commission stepping up and waiving the fees. They are going to probably raise over a quarter of a million dollars and one hundred percent of the proceeds goes to Make a Wish Foundation, and it’s a great family event in the City of Coral Gables. Thank you for that. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Where is it? Vice Mayor Lago: They have it next to the wing place, Sports Grill, right behind, its on the street there. They’ve been doing it there for probably about five, six years now, and its more kids than actually adults, its always a fun time with family. I look forward to all of you joining and if you are really interested in getting involved, I’ll contact the Chiefs and I’ll go to general employees through the Manager and hopefully some of my colleagues on the Commission want to eat some wings. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Thank you - good suggestion. Anything else? Adjourned. ADJOURNMENT [Note for the Record: There being no further business on the Regular City Commission Meeting Agenda.
