Attachments: Proclamation Mayor Valdes-Fauli introduced the proclamation declaring March 2021 as “Women’s History Month” in Coral Gables which was symbolically accepted by the first female mayor of Miami-Dade County, Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. Mayor Levine Cava stated that it was an honor and a privilege to join the City Commission and thanked them all for having her. She went on to say that Women’s History Month is a great month and hope they get appreciated all year round, but they have their own month to lift up the great achievements, the hard work and special role that women play in our society, and thanked all the ladies, and to the gentlemen who support the ladies, they are appreciated. As the first woman Mayor of Miami-Dade County, she knows that she will not be the last and is very excited that girls and women everywhere are watching glass ceilings being broken on a regular basis. Metaphorically speaking, she said that she stands on the shoulders of giants, giant City of Coral Gables Page 2 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 9, 2021 women including her mother, her two grandmothers, her mother-in-law, all of whom were tremendously influential in her life and always believed in her and pushed her forward. Additionally, they all know that all women are not that fortunate to have that same level of personal support and guidance as she did, however, it is their job to do everything they can to mentor and uplift those who are coming along, to support them to be happy, productive and leaderful in their lives. She noted that while they have made progress in gender equity, unfortunately they still have a ways to go, because they still have a pay gap, a very notable one, and at her 100th day town hall of her time in office, she was asked by a young woman who is in high school what to do about the pay gap, and she told her that it was on all of us to help women know their own self-worth and insist that it be recognized when they are applying for jobs and promotions as they continue a career path and that they continue to not let themselves to be pushed aside, and that is just a part of the fight for greater gender equity. Also, as a former resident of Coral Gables, she is proud to be with all of them today and excited to be with them celebrating as we celebrate women in Women’s History month and thanked everyone. Mayor Valdes-Fauli thanked Mayor Levine Cava and read the proclamation declaring March 2021 Women’s History Month. Additionally, he stated that he was very proud that they have the first woman mayor in Miami-Dade County, the first female mayor and wish her all the success in the world and thanked her. Mayor Levine Cava said that she received the proclamation virtually with great joy and acknowledged Kerstin Castillo who was on the call with her. She is her representative to Coral Gables from the Mayor’s Office. She hopes they will get to know her, and that she is a lovely young woman on her way up with two master’s degrees in social work and Administration who worked with her in her District 8 Commission Office and now she is responsible for a large swap of Miami-Dade County that includes Coral Gables. Kerstin Castillo acknowledged the Mayor and City Commission. Mayor Valdes-Fauli stated that Mayor Levine Cava’s Office has just gone up in prestige in their minds here in Coral Gables. (Laughter). He then thanked them both for being at the meeting.
