Mayor Valdes-Fauli introduced and welcomed newly elected Miami-Dade County Mayor, Daniella Levine Cava. He stated that it was a tremendous privilege and honor to have her visit one of her municipalities, Coral Gables, a municipality that tries to do everything to be good County citizens, County residents and thanked her for being there. He continued by saying that as a commissioner she proved herself to be an advocate of green initiatives which is close to the City Commission’s heart and looked forward to collaborating with her during his last few months as Mayor - he is looking forward to that - and he is confident that she will do great things for the residents, and it has been a welcomed addition or change because in the times that she has been here and they have worked with her, she have shown a willingness to cooperate, consult, get advice from them, get their opinion as to what is or not needed, including the curfews, etcetera as well as her leadership with the vaccinations, and concluded by saying that everyone there is looking forward to serving with her in the next few years, and thanked her. Miami-Dade County Mayor Levine Cava thanked the Mayor and City Commissioners individually and said she was grateful to be there and is a great fan of the City of Coral Gables where she was a resident for many years and her children were raised. She is proud of the work of the leadership on issues such as the environment, transportation, economic development and in so many things and that the City sets the stage, the tone for many others. She acknowledged that they are all here in trying times and piggybacked on the Mayor’s reference to vaccines and Covid and how essential, now more than ever that they work together across the 34 municipalities to communicate, coordinate and collaborate to finally get it right and that they all speak with one voice. She believes that is what is going to help them move forward to restore health and their economy which can only be done if done together, and again thanked them for their leadership, and reiterated that she is there for them, that she wanted to hear what all their concerns are, their priority needs, their advice on how they can work together, how they can be a united voice to the State, Federal government, and letting the residents know that they are there for them, even across jurisdictional lines. Continuing, she stated that they do not stand on ceremony, it needs to get done for everyone, especially how the pandemic is addressed. There is a struggle with the lack of vaccine, the eagerness especially with the older residents and those with health challenges. To get to this vaccine, she is aware that the supply is outpaced by the tremendous demand, and there is the challenge of those who do not want the vaccine which they know is going to have to reach a certain level before it is safe to get back to some form of normalcy in their daily life. She thanked the Mayor for his leadership and years as Mayor, his partnership and she is looking forward to continuing to work together on these issues City of Coral Gables Page 3 City Commission Meeting Minutes January 12, 2021 and thanked everyone. Mayor Valdes-Fauli thanked Mayor Levine Cava and told his fellow City Commissioners that it is a breath of fresh air to get a call from Miami-Dade County’s Mayor -- what is the purpose of the call? -- I want to know what you think about something, you know, whether it is the curfews, the restaurants, whatever. He acknowledged her awareness of the needs of municipalities and for coming and having them get an opportunity to know her personally. Mayor Levine Cava thanked Mayor Valdes-Fauli for his comments. Commissioner Keon stated that it was a pleasure to see her, having known her for 30 years and worked together throughout the community for a long time and it was a pleasure to see her as Mayor of Miami-Dade County, and congratulated her. Mayor Levine Cava thanked Commissioner Keon. Vice Mayor Lago thanked Mayor Levine Cava for appearing before the City Commission considering her hectic schedule. He too, referred to her as a breath of fresh air, and that Mayor Valdes-Fauli took the words out of his mouth, and it is a privilege to have her as their Mayor. Continuing, he said that he had the opportunity to serve with her on the TPO (Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization) and have been on the same side of many issues regarding transportation, issues with the rail and who deserved to have the rail, and those are the individuals in our community that are most needy. Also, they have been on the same side regarding the Biscayne Bay which she has been advocating for, for a long time. He congratulated, thanked her for her efforts, and stated that he appreciated her honesty. They have a big mountain to climb, it is going to be difficult, but with collaboration, the breath of fresh air between municipalities and the County, it is something that is new, and together they can work together to deliver on behalf of their residents. He appreciates her having an open door, something that they are grateful for and thanked her.

DISCUSSION ITEMS Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Anything else to come before the Commission? Vice Mayor Lago: Yes. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Of course. Vice Mayor Lago: Congratulations the meeting ended at 1:30 p.m. I welcome everybody back after great holidays. I wanted to echo some of the sentiments brought forth by the Mayor in the beginning of the meeting. I wanted to encourage everybody to get vaccinated, especially the elderly and those who are most sick. My father was vaccinated being a physician by Coral Gables Hospital, which they are doing it just for the physicians and the nurses. He hasn’t had any side effects and it was a very smooth roll in transition. I mention that because I want people to understand the importance of that and have faith and trust in the process. I also want to mention to people that wearing your mask works. We try to wear our mask everywhere we go. Have faith in wearing your mask. Its not anything we should worry about. Continue to wear your mask and I see a brighter future down the horizon as the vaccinations roll out in larger scale. People continue to wear their masks; we have warm weather. I think the future is going to be very bright. I want to ask everyone to please join us by Zoom. You can see, the city has done an incredible City of Coral Gables Page 25 City Commission Meeting Minutes January 12, 2021 job and I want to congratulate Martha Pantin, the Manager, staff, the ACM, everybody and Communications for really revamping the way that we put notices out there. Our social media has taken a huge step forward. I want to congratulate them, not only in the content, but also in the quality of the presentation, the clarity, and the amount of notice taking into consideration Commissioner Fors’ legislation for transparency. Please come to the Zoning Meeting, the Zoning Workshop meeting that I called for that deals with everything under the sun in regard to the zoning meeting. I had a conversation with the Manager. We are going to do a limited presentation. This is not about the Commission, if the Commissioners want to attend, but they will not be speaking. I’ve asked this to be about the residents and that staff answer every single question, no matter how complex or simple it is, answer every single question, take note of it and if they can’t answer at that moment, respond on the record. The Zoning Meeting is on Thursday, January 14th at 5 p.m., it will be by Zoom. It has been notified. I put it on my Tweeter, Instagram, Facebook, the city has done that, everyone on the Commission has done that, put it in the Herald. Its been properly documented, I think in the Coral Gables Magazine, its everywhere. So, no one should say that we didn’t do everything we could to get people’s input. Your input is important, we need your input, and we look forward to seeing you on January 14th. Thank you. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Anybody else any other comments. Commissioner Keon: I also had the vaccine. It was painless and effortless. I did it through Jackson South. It went very, very quickly and very orderly. We are going to have a community conversation the last week in January with Dr. Eileen Marty from FIU to answer any questions that anyone has or any concerns they have with regard to the vaccine. So, I hope you’ll look for those notices. We’ll notice it as the date comes sooner and we firm up all the details. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Thank you. Anybody else? Commissioner Mena: I had a quick comment Mr. Mayor. Earlier on the Consent Agenda we approved an item for the Firefighters to be able to get the vaccine and whatnot. I made a comment to the City Manager yesterday that I’d just like to echo here today which is, and I know they are looking into it. I would love for the city to look into the possibility of potentially partnering with somebody to be able to administer in-home vaccines for those few residents in the city that are truly homebound. I think we have a list of give or take, I want to say a total of 150 City of Coral Gables Page 26 City Commission Meeting Minutes January 12, 2021 residents, but don’t quote me on that number, who we have a list of them from prior efforts relating to the hurricane and things like that. And I would just encourage the administration to please look at possible avenues to be able to provide that service to those older residents who don’t have the ability to travel to get the vaccine, to the extent that they are interested that perhaps our Fire Department can work with either one of our local hospitals or provider to be able to administer those vaccines to those people who obviously need it. City Manager Iglesias: Commissioner Mena, may I say, we are looking into that already. Mayor Valdes-Fauli: Anything else? Meeting adjourned. Thank you.
