DISCUSSION ITEMS Mayor Lago: Are there any other items that we need to address on the agenda? Anything else? Commissioner Anderson: I have a couple of updates and so forth for you all. Later today - we put together an accomplishments list so residents will realize just how hardworking this Commission has been, just recent round. So, these cards are available with a QR Code, and it has a four-page listing, at least it was four pages when I printed it out on 8 ½ by 11 pieces of paper, to understand how we work together as a team. This is not everything that we’ve done. Mayor Lago: Just a few highlights. Commissioner Anderson: Just a few highlights, so things that impact the residents. So that should be available later today. Lina has a stack of these cards; she’s going to put them out on the table for folks to use. I’m including them in my very belatedly being mailed New Year’s cards. They are not Christmas cards anymore. We were waiting for you to get on board and have you added to the Christmas card, Mayor Cason, so that’s a pleasure. Second exciting thing is dog parks - 1505 Ponce has the fence up, put up. I went by and I visited last night. There’s a little tweak on the latch on the gate that needs to be installed. I think they’ll have it done in a day or two. So that’s wide open. I already got a message from a resident just totally excited even with the gate broken, haven’t been able to take their pet over there for a run. It’s a nice, big park that’s open to the public in our city. Second is, Salvadore Park. The City Manager has an update for us on that, because the Procurement Code process has been done. City Manager Iglesias: Yes. The contract has been awarded and we are ready to really start construction. Commissioner Anderson: Okay. City Manager Iglesias: But we should have a ribbon-cutting there as far as the park is concerned. Commissioner Anderson: Okay. That’s another exciting thing. And third, if you want to get in shape, have a goal, the BCC challenge is up. They have various lengths of rides, if you want to do it and there is the 15 miles, 35 miles that starts at the University of Miami, so its convenient for all of us to join in there; and if you really want to get in shape, you have a 50 mile and the 100 mile one. Mayor Lago: I’ll be there. City of Coral Gables Page 23 City Commission Meeting Minutes January 10, 2023 Commissioner Anderson: You’ll be there. Where are you going to start? Mayor Lago: I’m for sure I’m going to start the race. Commissioner Anderson: I’m going to do the one from UM, because its so convenient. I can bike down there and start with the race and get back within a decent number of hours in the day to be able to accomplish other things with the family. So, I invite you to come. I know that the Chamber is working on a Gables group, so I’ll share the link with you as soon as Mr. Coral Gables, Mark Trowbridge sends it to me today. Commissioner Menendez: Two things. One is, does Communications have my image. I always have images of some sort. There you go. Commissioner Anderson: There you go. Commissioner Menendez: Sunday - This past December we had Star Wars, the original. We almost had a packed house, which was great. One thing I noticed, and I mentioned to the crowd is, we had little kids, we had parents, we had grandparents, we had all generations coming to these movies. So, on Sunday, at 5 p.m., free tickets, go to actorsplayhouse.org, we are showing the original Raiders of the Lost Arc - Indiana Jones. Just so happens, I’m happy to say the timing, the new Indiana Jones, the fifth one is coming out soon. So, you might as well get caught up to speed with the original story before you go see that one, but its free to everybody, doesn’t matter the age, bring the kids, bring the grandkids. It’s a wonderful experience and in fact, people are saying they saw the Star Wars after so many years of now watching movies on TV, to go see some of these great blockbuster movies on the big screen, they remember how much they actually enjoyed the ride. So, besides the movie, because I don’t think we mentioned it and maybe someone else is going to mention it, Saturday, if I’m not mistaken, we start the Farmers Market. So, its day one, weekend one of the Farmers Market, which is a great community event. So far, the weather has been great, so there is no reason, if you’re in Coral Gables that you shouldn’t be out there enjoying the market, movies, there’s so much to do, so much to offer. Please, be active, be part of what makes Coral Gables wonderful. Mayor Lago: Mayor Cason. Commissioner Cason: Nothing. Mayor Lago: Vice Mayor. Vice Mayor Mena: I’m good. City of Coral Gables Page 24 City Commission Meeting Minutes January 10, 2023 Mayor Lago: In closing, Miriam, this is your last meeting. City Attorney Ramos: Great last meeting. Thanks everybody. Its not even one o’clock. Mayor Lago: I know you have a lot of work to do, so we’ll close quickly. I just have one thing I need to address and that is, we’ve made a lot of progress with Merrick Park, a lot of new landscaping, the signage has been replaced to a certain extent, refreshed. I know we are working with a few different things there. We need to have another meeting with them, potentially. I want to make sure that we get some deadlines. We need to get a schedule in regard to finishing the remaining work. So, I ask you to please, get with my staff so that we can have a third walk-through of the facility, so I need to understand when are they going to conclude the landscaping that’s pending. With that being said, nothing else, meeting adjourned. Thank you.
