DISCUSSION ITEMS Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Are there any comments from the rest of the Commission? That’s the end of the agenda. Are there any comments from members of the Commission before we conclude the meeting? Vice Mayor Lago: Yes. City of Coral Gables Page 21 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 12, 2020 Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Vice Mayor. Vice Mayor Lago: I would like for my colleagues to consider as the Mayor so eloquently stated at the beginning of the Commission Meeting. We lost a treasure here in the City of Coral Gables Arva Moore Parks, who was a wonderful individual who helped so many and was a repository of knowledge when it came to the City. We have several projects that are coming online that have been newly renovated or renovated in the near future. I ask my colleagues if you would support me and potentially naming one of those parks after Arva Moore Parks. It seems very fitting. Does anybody have any objections to that? Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Very good suggestion, but let's not make a decision today at what to name. Vice Mayor Lago: No, I'm going to put it on the agenda, just want to make sure that my colleagues… Commissioner Mena: I like the idea. Put it on the agenda. It’s a good idea. Vice Mayor Lago: Commissioner Fors. Commissioner Fors: Yeah. Throw it on the agenda. Vice Mayor Lago: Alright. Madam -- Mr. Clerk, please let's put that on the next agenda. I would like to see that please. Thank you. Second, I'd like to wish my wife a Happy birthday today. And my daughter's birthday was yesterday. She's nine years old. So, we are -- we've had a an incredible few days with Mother's Day and my wife's birthday and my daughter's birthday. So, I want to wish her a happy birthday. I also wanted to send a little message. I have gotten some phone calls from residents, especially the elderly residents who are golfers. I'm not much of a golfer and they're obviously concerned with these two parks in Granada. And they brought to my attention, and we did a little bit of research that Mel Reese is offering an interesting opportunity for seniors who meet, obviously, a certain criteria that they are allowing them to use golf courses by themselves, excuse me, carts by themselves so they can help them with their mobility issues. You know, I think that this is an opportunity that I hope that staff would consider. That currently right now as we're entering phase one that some of the elderly individuals who are golfers who want to use the Granada Golf Course, maybe they can use these carts by themselves. It's already being done in several different golf courses throughout Miami-Dade County, one of them is Mel City of Coral Gables Page 22 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 12, 2020 Reese. Maybe -- they've even told me they're willing to pay an additional fee to use the carts by themselves. In reference to item E-8, which I deferred. I want to put it on the record and make sure that everyone is aware that I was putting back, that we are putting the item back on the agenda once we have in-person meetings. And I want to say thank you to Billy, the Manager, all their team, in reference to having these Zoom meetings. It's been seamless. I want to say thank you for all your efforts and making sure that we get all the public comment in, that we give everybody the ability to speak on their issues. But everything has been flawless. We haven't had any issues and I commend Billy, the Manager, Miriam, everyone on their efforts in regard to making sure these meetings run efficiently and without any hiccups. Thank you. City Clerk Urquia: Thank you Vice Mayor, but I wouldn't do it justice if we don't recognize Raimundo and his staff, especially Alexander Gamundi from IT, he’s done a tremendous job. Vice Mayor Lago: You are a hundred percent. I'm sorry. I left them out. They deserve all the credit. Commissioner Fors: Mr. Mayor, if I could just add something to what Vice Mayor Lago said. Random idea -- I also don't play golf, but a resident gave me the idea, because other courses are doing it, and it's extremely inexpensive. There seems to be like disks that you can install at the bottom of the flagpole, I guess you call it. Vice Mayor Lago: Yeah. Commissioner Fors: And what it does is allows you to lift up the flag and pick up the ball and to avoid 50 people during the day sticking their hands in the same bowl potentially spreading infection that way, and I think it's, we're talking about like a few dollars here, especially for a nine hole golf course, so Fred could look into those. Vice Mayor Lago: That makes complete sense. City Manager Iglesias: We'll be looking into both issues. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Anything else? Commissioner Fors: That's it. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: I have a comment to make. Now that I look at our pictures, I see that there are only two of us that don't have a beard and unless Commissioner Keon wants to grow a beard, I guess, it'll be my job to do so for the end of the month meeting. Commissioner Keon, you want to grow a beard? City of Coral Gables Page 23 City Commission Meeting Minutes May 12, 2020 Commissioner Keon: You have me muted. Commissioner Fors: Yeah, we can hear you. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Thank you very much everybody. Meeting adjourned. Thank you.
