Additionally, Battalion Chief Hernandez serves as the Firefighter Coordinator for the SWAT team, point of contact for the public safety building when it comes to their furniture, serves on their EOC staff and takes a multi-faceted dedication and participation in their department, and it is for this reason he is the “Firefighter of Year”.

Police Chief Edward James Hudak, Jr., stated that Officer Kelly Denham is being recognized for an incident which occurred on January 28, 2020. He continued by saying that Officer Denham is the face of the department and continues to put forth the department in a great light, working with media and behind the scenes. She is also the department’s community affairs person, teaches active shooting classes and active shooter responses to those who are in harm’s way and is on call probably more so than he is City of Coral Gables Page 3 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 10, 2020 responding before he gets the calls. In this instance, Officer Denham upon receiving a call from a resident with whom she had built a rapport, had told her that he had just received a call from Chase Bank stating that his new credit card was being delivered to his home, and he had informed the bank that he did not request a new credit card to which their response was that it had already been delivered. Officer Denham immediately went to the resident’s home and asked the maintenance crew working on the premises at the time, whether a small package had been delivered to which they informed her that it had not been. She then asked them to contact her when anyone came to the residence inquiring about a packet, and when they did, they notified her. Officer Denham immediately contacted dispatch and Sergeant Aleman and upon arriving at the residence, apprehended a female suspect who was taken into custody on identity and credit card theft. Police Chief Hudak continued by saying the he often times tell his employees that they are not allowed to say, “that is not my job”., and on that particular day, Officer Denham demonstrated what those words meant in the service she provided by going above and beyond to ensure the safety of the resident and in so doing, she was able to apprehend someone who preys on the elderly in taking their life savings and credit cards. It is for her actions that day that Officer Denham was nominated and received the “Officer of the Month” award for January 2020. He then presented the award to her. Officer Denham stated that she is a little shy about talking, but many officers when they receive the Officer of the Month award would always thank the Chief and the Selection Committee, but it is a team effort. On that day, it was not just her, it started with the homeowner trusting the Police Department while he was on his way to a plane, and sending her the Ring video, so that they could ID the subject and her calling and having the unit dispatched, because she was at home at the time. It’s a team effort, it is always a team effort, and concluded by saying that they have the greatest Police Department in South Florida, and it is an honor to receive the award.

Upon reading the proclamation, Commissioner Keon asked her colleagues as well as the women and men all the women in the audience to join her on the podium as a gesture of support in acknowledging women’s’ contribution in the world. Commissioner Keon went on the state that If we looked at a global map and we look at the percentage of that map where women have the rights and freedom that we women who live here in the United States and Europe have, we are a very small percentage of women that have any chance of equity and parity in this world. We are grateful for those countries that believe in equality and parity and we wish that for every woman on the earth.

CITY CLERK ITEMS None L. DISCUSSION ITEMS Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Anything else to come before the meeting? Vice Mayor Lago: I have a few items, two items. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Go ahead. Vice Mayor Lago: First of all, I want to commend staff for doing a wonderful job yesterday in Zone 2 public meeting, for traffic calming. I was very impressed by how many residents came out. Staff was very available. It was a very open forum, very informative. I want to commend all the staff members that were there, we probably had maybe 60 or 70 residents show up and everybody left with smiles on their face. So, I just want to commend your efforts and their satisfaction is basically in line with your efforts. So, thank you for that. Staff deserves all the credit. I also want to through Commissioner Mena and Commissioner Fors on this, I want to bring up the Wings for Wishes. I want to give a little quick recap, because I’m very proud of this. OK. So here we go. They didn’t show us strategizing, but Vice Mayor Quesada, which you can see, he’s got his kids on his shoulders, you know for some reason thought that he was going to give us a strategy. He’s a person who has, basically, when he grabs a chicken wing and he takes it to his mouth, I think that’s the reason why we didn’t win the whole thing, because we, you can see the firefighters here, we beat the firefighters, we beat the police officers, we beat my BDI engineering team. This is right before we are about to start, as you can see, all of us are there eagerly anticipating. I think that we finished our chicken wings in two minutes and 58 seconds; we ate 50 chicken wings between the four of us. I don’t want to out the police officers who are next to us, but you will see in a forthcoming photo, they didn’t even finish there’s. The firefighters did but we got a better time than them. This was a great opportunity, and these are just some photos before the event with the police officers. The reason why I put this up, not only are we proud that we competed. We didn’t win, but we gave our best effort, we did finish the 50 wings. I think it's important, I think it's important that we do as many of these as possible. Look at Frank’s face, I’m sorry, this is the best. So, I think it's important that we do these as often as possible. We can do these on a quarterly basis and get as many teams or just get involved and get outside the City and continue to build upon what we are really City of Coral Gables Page 22 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 10, 2020 putting out there for the residents. I think it helps us on a day-to-day. We spend probably 3 to 4 hours with the firefighters, the police and the Commissioners and I think it was a great teambuilding exercise for everybody. So, I will be sponsoring - this year I sponsored four teams, privately, did not come from City funds. I will sponsor as many teams as possible next year. I want to tell you that besides that, that was a great accomplishment, the fact that we ate 50 wings. But the real accomplishment that needs to be noted is the fact that this organization that the City of Coral Gables has been helping by reducing their permit fees or eliminating their permit fees altogether. This year hit a significant benchmark. This is in our backyard. They raised almost $400,000 for Make a Wish Foundation. And to give you an idea, every wish cost $10,000. These are kids who are sick, these are children who when you grant them this wish you are making their lives so much better, especially in their worst-case scenarios in their lives. Their families, you put a smile on their face, you give them a moment, a respite away from the issue that they are dealing with, whatever ailment they may have. So, there were hundreds of people that attended, they raised over $400,000, and this is what make me very proud. One hundred percent of this money goes to Make a Wish Foundation. The people that are on this board, they give money to make sure that everything that comes in from the public and from sponsors goes to the Foundation as a whole. So, I want to thank my colleagues who are in attendance. I want to thank the police, the firefighters, my BDI co-workers for putting forth a great effort and everybody else that competed, but more importantly, I want to thank Make a Wish Foundation. This is held in our backyard and this makes the City of Coral Gables look great. Thank you. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Thank you. Commissioner Mena anything? Commissioner Mena: No. Just echoing what Vice Mayor said, it was a great event and I’ll just add that the organizers said that. They are kind of interested to try to move it in this direction next year, closer to City Hall maybe and try to have a bigger event. The pictures really don’t do justice. Commissioner Keon: I went by there… Commissioner Mena: [Inaudible] Commissioner Keon: It was well attended. Vice Mayor Lago: And you know the great thing, I just forgot to add one point, City of Coral Gables Page 23 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 10, 2020 Commissioner Mena’s point is, what I was really impressed by and I don’t know Commissioner Fors, you talked about it, the amount of people who took their kids, it was a family affair, this is a family affair. It was just wonderful to see kids in strollers, people walking, and good community fun. Commissioner Fors: It was a great event. Mayor one more thing - 1-a, 1-b, I’d like to add two appointments for approval that didn’t make the agenda. First June Morris served on the Cultural Development Board for me, for close to a year, did a fantastic job from what I hear. However, she told me that she has to commit her time to various personal commitments and can no longer serve. I think before that she was the appointment for Vice Mayor Lago on another board. Vice Mayor Lago: She did a great job. Commissioner Fors: So, I’m going to reappoint, actually it was Commissioner Quesada’s prior appointment, Geannina Burgos, to the Cultural Development Board. Early on, I hear that everybody on the board is a fan of hers and I look forward to her getting back to work on the board; and secondly, Jennifer Ward Sando to the Pinewood Cemetery Advisory Board. City Attorney Ramos: I need a motion for this. City Clerk Urquia: Can I have a motion. Vice Mayor Lago: So moved. Commissioner Mena: Second. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: All those in favor say aye. All: Aye. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Alright. Thank you very much for a very productive meeting.
