DISCUSSION ITEMS Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Anything else to come before the meeting. Vice Mayor Lago: Just one point. This is more of just always a reminder to our residents and to our business community. Let’s all be conscientious with these moments. Right now, as many of you are hearing, this Covid pandemic is far from over. We are all facing some very difficult moments ahead. I ask that everybody be as prudent as possible. Just because the Governor has mandated that masks are not a requirement and basically, he has handcuffed the city in regard to our ability to enforce multiple measures in regard to Covid. I ask that everybody in the community to still continue to comply and be considerate of those who are challenged, the elderly, our neighbors, because this is a great opportunity by wearing a mask and by being prudent in our activities and our social gatherings, we are taking into account everyone in this community. So that’s something that I want to make sure, because you’ve seen the numbers creep up just a little bit, slightly. They are not big jumps and I’m constantly monitoring, as a board member of Coral Gables Hospital, and the numbers are low, very low as of last week we had about ten people in the hospital, but let’s continue to move in the right direction. Let’s not take a step back. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Thank you Vice Mayor. Anything else? Meeting adjourned.
