[Music] --------- All right. Before we proceed into our discussion items of the PBA representatives and Mr. Steedman Stall would like to make a couple comments. >> Hi. Uh first of all, my name is Steedman Stall. I'm the president of the South Florida PBA and I have the privilege of
representing your officers and uh officers from throughout South Florida we represent. Um, I want to thank the uh the manager and her team on a negotiated contracts that we've been working on the last couple of years. We've got them done, but I know that to have a
successful manager and team, she's got to have a support from a mayor and a good council to give the directions to keep public safety front and center. I know there's a lot of things in in government. There's wants and needs and stuff like that, but you have a great chief and his command staff over here
that have made sure they've made themselves accessible to us um as we've needed things through this process. Um it's the first time we do a lot of contracts. Uh I've got about 21 cities that we negotiate contracts, two
sheriff's offices now. Um, it was the first time that I can remember. I don't know if it's ever been done before, but when the officers have voted unanimously, you usually'll have one or two that'll want to, you know, hold out and and some do it more out of a principal thing. Not that they're that they're scrutled in
anything, but this is the first time that I know of anywhere in South Florida that uh in in the contracts that I've negotiated or our our team has negotiated that all the officers that voted voted in support of it. And that's a testament to the mayor, the
commission, the manager, and leadership of the chief. We don't always agree. Sometimes we have to we all have our roles to be in and stuff like that. Um, but it's it I know that every time that I have to reach out to the chief or his command staff or we have to reach out to the
elected officials or sometimes the manager on issues, they've made themselves available. And with that, I want to say thank you. And I if we had more city councils like that, it's probably be very detrimental to a union because you wouldn't need a union. And
but it's the leadership and the uh that that's coming down from your office to to the to the commission, all the commissioners and and to the manager and everything. I want to say thank you uh to the ones that always can't say thank you. And I know that you guys are always recognizing the officers. I know that you keep public safety front and center.
And that's not what we see around the country, but we certainly see it here in Dorado. And I'll like end it with and God we trust up there. That is a a testimony on whoever your God is. Um I want to say thank you again. And uh
>> Chief, thank you and your command staff and and the officers, all the officers that we represent. I know we have a couple tragedies going on today that we're dealing with, but thank you for taking the time to to do this. And thank you. >> Thank you, Sebie. I just want to very quickly on behalf of
um of our council also thank you guys for the work that you do. Thank you for representing our officers. We do have great leadership in the department. I think the chief and his entire team do a wonderful job and I think that that unanimous vote speaks to that. So I wish we could take all the credit. We can't.
It's all them. Um we just we're here to support them, make sure they have the resources they need. So God bless you guys. Thank you very much. And we have a contract. All right. >> Thank you. Bye guys. Thanks for being here. >> All right, we'll move into the discussion items. Madam clerk, >> item 9A, a resolution the mayor of the
city council of city of D Ford approving the use of the D cultural arts center facility and use of the city logo by Yola seue corp, a nonfor-profit organization for the D arts and flowers festival 2026, providing for implementation, incorporation of recitals and an effective date. >> All right, this is my item. Um, this is
not a new item to most of you. You've seen this before. We have done this now a couple years. Um, last year we actually ended up just doing a one-day ceremony to kick off what we wanted to be a bigger event. This year we're moving it to spring so that it doesn't
conflict with our holiday events cuz it always used to be in December. Uh, so Reuben is here um who has been is is one of the the founders of the organization that does the flower festival along with his wife Yola. And um it's been a great
success every year. There's a lot of excitement around it. Now that it's being moved to a spring flower festival, I think it'll be a great addition to our city, bringing more tourism and attraction. Uh really highlighting the cultural arts center. So, we're excited of what they're bringing. Um we did have
to shift the dates again because there's so much happening in our cultural center and so many events, but we hope this will eventually become a signature event for the city as it grows. We are known as Flower City USA. As you know, the flower industry is a billion-dollar
industry and about 90% of flowers that touch the United States come through come through Dorado. So, it's also highlighting an important industry in our community, which is our flower wholesalers and retailers. So, I'd like to invite you if he has anything to add, maybe talk about um how many we had a
lot of guests at the last year's event. uh it was very successful and so we're hoping that uh next year 2026 will be the kickoff again to um establishing this spring festival. May your fra uh thank you so much for
the introduction. But first of all, on behalf of the organizing team of the Dorald Arts and Flowers Festival, I want to thank all the councilmen uh council members uh Marin Poras, Nicole Reoso,
Rafael Pinedo, uh Dakaral, vice mayor, and uh we want to thank Saenas uh city manager for her support and of course uh uh you uh mayor. Uh what we actually doing we celebrating the power
of flowers in our lives. The flowers are so important and we have them in our lives every day. Uh as we know the Doral is the city of flowers. This is a designation that it was acquired a few
years ago and we want to continue on that uh agenda. uh this year coming year uh 2026 we want to become more international. We are inviting people from all the countries designers and flower lovers to come here to Dora and
participate in the festival. uh we are including all the levels of of people in the community uh including children's from intermediate uh elementary school that they will be coming in with their artwork uh using flowers as as an
inspiration. Uh we are already uh talking to them to the high schools and we want them to be part of this festival. Of course uh the professionals and the artists will be uh exhibiting their work and uh the whole community will be invited and like I said we want
to expand uh the reach to international uh um invitees um one of the things that I like to we will I don't say I they always tell Joan and me Ruben this is your festival and it's really not our festival we are just
the organizers of the tool that God is using to to to to have this kind of event. Uh the the the festival belongs to the city and to the floral industry. So uh what we like to see next year is
we would like to uh the the council to consider uh proclaiming the week of the festival the the uh the week of flowers here in Dural. Uh that will be from uh April the 6 to the 12th. So if you if I
invite you to consider that because that's going to give us an extra a push for the event and uh in terms of promotion uh when we say uh flower week in Dorado in the city of flowers uh that's powerful and that's going to
bring a lot of attention and a lot of uh uh good good uh uh promotion for the city which which is what we all want to do. Uh, also, uh, I'd like to request that the city, uh, help us more. You,
you have helped us in the past a lot with promoting the event, but we would, we we have our own ways of promoting it, but the more we have, the better it will be. So, if the city can assist us a little bit more the this coming year in promoting the event, uh, we all going to
be winners. Uh with all that with that said, I want to thank you for the opportunity and looking forward to have a great festival in 2026. >> Thank you, Ruang, very much for uh coming and speaking today. Um we are going to I am going to do the
proclamation for the week. Um so we're we're excited to do that as we get set and um everything is attached to the item on our support which will be the use of the culture arts center. Um and then yes, we will we will definitely be doing promotion and working with you and
your team to make sure that um it's a successful event. Once again, you guys do a great job of attracting people though. It's >> Yeah, we work very hard attended event. >> We work very hard. Uh it's it's uh we we are passionate both my wife and our team
about flowers and and living here in Dorado. As Jola, my wife always said, I'm never going to leave Dorado. Anyway, so if is this going to be official or you just uh let us know about the proclamation for the week? >> Yes, I will take care of it. Yes. >> Okay. So, we can start promoting it on
our end and uh we go we can go forward. >> Yes, absolutely. Any questions? >> All right. Councilwoman Reynoso. >> Hi. I'm so proud that we're able to bring this up again another year celebrating fl flowers and community.
And I think both you and your wife and the people that help you do such an amazing job. And I think it could be almost a signature event that we have in Dorado, like the mayor said, a lot of the flower business comes through Dorado. And I think it's just
exemplifying the type of businesses and the community events that we have. So, thank you for bringing this. >> Of course. You're welcome. >> Thank you. All right. If there's no other discussion, I need a motion to approve. >> Motion. >> Motion to approve by Councilman Pinto. Second by councilwoman Marinoso. Madam clerk, if there's no additional

Mayor Frago. >> Yes. >> Motion passes. >> All right. Thank you very much. We look forward to it. It'll be fun. >> Awesome. All right. We move on to item 9 B.
>> Item 9B. A resolution of the mayor and the city council of the city of draw Florida adopting the city of draw 2026 legislative priorities providing for transmitt to the governor's office Florida senate Florida house of representatives Miami day county legislative providing for implementation incorporation of recitals and an effective date >> okay my esteemed colleagues this is um
after our workshop on the legislative priorities um we put this item together to be able to transmit an official record to the state through our lobbyists um u regarding our legislative priorities um and so that we can all speak on these
issues together. I think it's important and behooves our city to have a positive outcome on hopefully all of these. There's no other additional questions. We just need a motion to approve so we can go ahead and transmit. >> Motion. >> Motion to approve by Councilwoman Reynoso. >> Second. >> Second by Councilman Pinedo. Madam

Seniors IT Academy pilot program to enhance digital inclusion for senior residents, directing the city manager to coordinate program implementation and host the next senior cyber security seminar during the upcoming holiday season, providing for incorporation of recital and providing for an effective date. >> Okay, this is Councilman Benito's item.
>> Thank you, mayor. And just to just to share with my colleagues in an in an ongo ongoing effort to promote digital inclusion and improve technological literacy among seniors population in the city of Dal which I
think we have been doing very proactive about it. I'm seeking your support to launch a pilot program entitled Dural Dural Seniors IT Academy. This program is inspired by the resand success that we already have it during
the community uh following the city's first ever ever senior cyber security seminar which was hosted by the IT department police department and the silver club and by launching the Dorado Seniors IT
Academy certainly will serve as an expansion of the initial effort by providing a structure recurring educational opportunities that address both cyber security and certainly help uh during uh special season which is the
holiday season to our seniors when it comes to uh issues when it comes to um cyber security matters. This program will include not only seminars, workshops,
and I'm suggesting a certificate completion that will be actually presented by by the city to our seniors and our silver club members. And I recommend that under the direction of the city manager and the IT department director for this for the next cyber
security seminar be hosted during the upcoming holiday season which again is when online online scams and cyber security threats are usually most prevalent. So what I'm asking for with your help
and support is that hopefully we can launch this Dorado senior IT academy. I know there is a a minor cost associated that potentially can uh be addressed uh but through the city manager I'll be more than glad to uh to discuss with the
city attorney the police department and the IT department as well. >> Thank you. Councilman Pado, any comments, madame city manager? >> Um yes, mayor. Um so we've had the conversation with our IT director, Eileen Fernandez. Um I don't know if you
have any questions but um she's put something together with like I said we held one um on cyber security. I think we also want to cover other topics. So according to what the councilman just stated. So um we're planning to doing
that and if you have any questions um our directors here and can answer them. >> All right. Any questions? >> Motion. >> Motion to approve by Councilwoman Mayoso. There's no additional questions. >> Second. >> Second by councilwoman Porz.

Thank you, Councilman Pedo. >> Thank you. >> All right. We'll move on to the next item. >> Item 9. A resolution of the mayor of the
city council of city of Dorado, Florida authorizing the use of the city of Dal logo by Tier Axion Arts Academy, Inc. for the promotion of the Miss Teen Dalei 2026 event providing for authorization implementation incorporation of recitals and an effective date. >> All right, this item is Councilwoman Pores. >> Thank you, mayor. This is an item to
requesting the use of the logo for the second annual Miss Teen Dural. The organizers are not here, but I've been working very closely with them. So, if you have any questions, you can let me know. Um, as you as most of you know, last year we held the first um, Miss
Teen Dural here in the city and it's a pageant that um, received approval from the city last year for the use of the logo among other things. And the the pageant really focused on showcasing young women who are talented, motivated,
and represent the women of today. And so they would like to do the second um, annual. And all they're asking for this year is the use of the logo. The only other thing that I would add is that they're um they're also requ they're also working now with the Miss America
organization. And so they're asking for also and it's not reflected here, but I'm I'm letting you guys know they're asking for the logo use for a Miss Dural. So it's going to be a Miss Tinderell and a Miss Durell. And again, they're working with um Miss America. And what they're going to do is out of
the finalists that compete in this pageant, they're going to automatically um include them in the Miss America pageant, of course. And as you all know, that's an organization and a program that provides leadership skills, tools,
and also scholarships to young women. So with that, I don't know if you guys have any logo, but again or questions, but again, the only request is for them to use the city logo and their final crowning is April 2025. Thank you. >> AP 2026.
>> Yes, sorry, 26. Okay. So, it's only the you said that it'll go this year. Yeah. >> Okay. Any questions? >> All right. We need a motion. >> Motion to approve. Motion to approve by vice mayor u sorry cabra
>> second >> second by councilwoman for us >> can I just clarify so we're including missell and mal right >> the logo for the two >> the same organization >> correct >> okay thank you >> the the only comment I would have is that there's been a lot of discussions
and I actually met someone recently that said that they had the franchise rights to the Miss America miss teen and there they were saying that people were paying >> to participate in that So the only thing would be is that if we get a complaint or someone files a letter or something
that we would have the opportunity to pull it if there is like a dispute amongst people who have but I'm not involved so I wouldn't know otherwise. I have no problem with them using the logo as long as they're in compliance with the franchise um the Miss America
franchise because it is a franchise that people buy into >> and they're working that person is working with them. So >> Okay. Yeah. All right. Have a motion to approve made by Vice Mayor Caval. Seconded by Council Poras. Vice Mayor Carral. >> Yes. >> Council Pores. >> Yes. >> Council Marinoso? >> Yes. >> Council Pedo?
>> Yes. >> Mayor Frag? >> Yes. >> Motion passes. >> All right. Okay. Item 90 was moved to the afternoon. So, we'll move on to item 9F. >> Item 9F. Discussion update on physibility study for tree permit program and arborist. >> Okay. This is uh public works city
manager office. I believe council marinoso. >> Yes, mayor. um public works director Carlos Aoyo is here um to take us through um the visibility study um that was conducted.
>> Morning mayor, vice mayor, council members, uh city manager's office, city attorney, city clerk, members in the public, Carlos Aroya, public works director. So, following city council direction, the public works department re-examined the city's options for three permitting,
including the possibility of providing in-house arbory services. The 2025 analysis confirmed that current permit volumes aing approximately 60 permits per year do not support a full-time arborist position. However, the city already has access to certified
arborists through the existing general engineering and right-of-way maintenance contracts, which allows the city to obtain expert assistance when needed without the additional administrative workload or the liability of creating a full city-run permitting program. Maintaining three permitting with Miami
Day County remains the most practical and efficient approach. The county already has established systems, trained staff, and the regional oversight needed to ensure environmental compliance. This approach avoids duplication of efforts, additional cost, and potential public disputes while allowing the city
resources to remain focused on higher impact priorities such as infrastructure, transportation, and community programming. Based on input from council and feedback from staff, the city is working to expand the services it offers to complement the county's program. City staff are always
available to guide residents through the county's application and review steps and can conduct site visits when appropriate to support compliance and understanding. In addition, residents may benefit from the city's agreements pricing when using vendors under contract with the city for similar
services, helping reduce costs for professional arburies work or mitigation planting. In summary, keeping the tree permitting process with the counties preserve efficiency, maintains consistency, and allows the city to provide practical hands-on support to its constituents, including expert
guidance, access to qualified vendor pricing, and on-site assistance when needed. >> Is that all? >> Is that does that conclude your Okay, perfect. Thank you, Carlos. Any other comments from the city manager's office?
>> No, mayor. >> Okay. Council Morenos. >> Thank you, Mr. Aroyu, for your presentation. So, this idea, just to radiate thought, came from feedback that I received from the community and I'm very pleased with the outcome to be able
to offer the resources when needed, when there's a complaint, a concern, a question from one of our residents. Again, as council members, the number one job that we have is to keep our ears out in the street, listen to residents concern, and address them. And I feel that that has been done to have a
service that is for the betterment of a community and hearing the concerns and answering them from our residents. So, thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Councilwoman. Any other comments? No. All right. Okay. So, I don't think there's any direction needed or >> do you need a
>> No, mayor. I believe we have the the expertise in place to be able to offer um additional resident um services which is what the council woman wanted. So yes, absolutely. >> Perfect. Okay, great. Thank you very much. Thank you for bringing that forward. All right. I believe that
exhausts our discussion items and we are going to go back to the item that was pulled from the consent agenda which is item 6N. >> Item 6N. Yes, mayor. A resolution in the name of the city council of the city of D Florida awarding invitation to bid 202519 rightaway maintenance services to SFM Landscape Services LLC, the lowest,
most responsive and responsible bidder. Authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement with SFM Landscape Services LLC for the provision of Rightway Maintenance Services in an amount not to exceed departmental budgeted funds for a period of three years with an option to renew for an additional two one-year periods under the same terms, conditions, and prices
of the contract. Authorizing the city manager to negotiate an enter to an agreement with the next lowest bidder successfully if an agreement cannot be negotiated with the top bidder. Authorizing the city manager to execute the agreement and expend budget of funds on behalf of the city providing for limitation incorporation of recitals in an effective date. This was pulled by Mayor Fra. >> Thank you, Madam Clerk. All right. So, I
went ahead and pulled this item. I did some research. I had um followed this only because I if you may recall there was a bid protest and the manager informed us of that the first time around. Um and it came to my attention that um there was a discrepancy in the
bid and the the awarder the the recommended award was going to um SFM which had changed their original bid after the bid protest um to the tune of almost $200,000 less. Um the company
that protested originally would have been awarded the bid as the lowest bidder. Um, and they were disqualified the first time around on what they felt was really a technicality they shouldn't have been disqualified on. Everything had been
submitted electronically. Um, and so they had come to me and basically pointed out that SFM had under bid to make sure that they were retained. Um, the difference is about $10,000. Um,
after reviewing the documents, um, I felt truly uncomfortable about what had happened, um, and did speak to both of the biders. And I would like to recommend that we give Superior Landscaping Lawn Services the opportunity at the original bidded price and actually to meet the price of the
current bid, which is $486,523. Uh, they are willing to do that. they do fel feel that it was an intentional um under bid to once the item became public uh for the bid protest. So, you know,
reviewing all of this, like I said, I did feel uncomfortable with the way this happened. I do think it was um not a very consistent and unfair process for them. And so at this time I'm recommending to go with Superior Landscape Lawn Services um for the
amount of 486,523 um which is the bidded amount that was being awarded. Should this not work out with them then we will go with um SFM. We will then move forward with SFM if it does not work out with superior landscaping. So again, this is a result
of me doing investigations after it came to my intent my uh my attention and I do feel that this was an un an unfair process for the original bidder that would have been selected based on the ITB. So if there's support for that, I
would need a motion based on my um on my recommendation or if there's any questions. >> Motion. Okay, there's a motion by Councilman Pinedo, >> second by Councilwoman Reynoso. Is there any questions
as to the purpose? Okay, being none, Madam Clerk, please call the RO. >> I have a motion to award to Superior Landscaping in the amount of $486,523 and should the negotiations be successful in the award will go to FS SFM services? >> Yes. Or any uh issues with service?
>> Okay. Negotiations or issues with services? Made by counciloman Pedo, seconded by counciloman Reynoso. Counciloman Pedo, >> yes. >> Counciloman Reynoso, >> yes. >> Councilwoman Poras, >> yes. >> Vice Mayor Coral? >> No. >> Mayor Fraga? >> Yes. >> Motion passes. >> All right. Thank you.
Any other items? Madam Clerk? >> No. Mayor's report. >> Okay. We'll go into the mayor's report. All right. So, I just wanted to remind everyone that on November 21st is our tree lighting ceremony. We did move it up before Thanksgiving today. I mean this year. So we hope that you will join
us. It'll be a beautiful event. On November 22nd is our holiday bazaar. Um I also wanted to quickly just recap and thank everybody who was part of our first golf and uh golf tournament and gala for PP4K. We raised over $355,000
for the first time for this organization that has had never been done. So we look forward to being able to get a lot done with programming through this organization. um it really has a a lot of opportunity for growth and I think we can move a lot of our CBO grant funding
and things like that into this organization to benefit the community especially with what we're seeing coming down from the state. I think it's important that we focus on this. So I want to thank everyone who participated, who supported it, who sees the vision. Um we really appreciate and look forward to next year which we will announce much
earlier, much sooner to be able to have um more success. So, I'm glad that um that everyone came and and had a great time and that we were doing it for a good cause. So, I want to thank the chief as well and his whole team. Um we really really pulled it off quite
quickly and and at some points didn't think we were going to be able to do so. And I believe um it's more than 50% is what we netted for the actual organization and that's that's huge testament to the work that was done. So, I also want to thank the event planners uh Jessica Deasada who really really
pulled through on this. So, we look forward to seeing this come back and this being an annual thing. Uh, the PGA is also coming back and they're going to be uh pledging some support to to the Parks and Police for Kids Foundation once again. And so, I think that that's going to be um very successful and we'll be able to expand the programming.
That's really it for my mayor's comments. I just wanted to thank everybody and express my gratitude and then remind everybody about our holiday events coming up. Madam Clerk, >> city manager report. >> Uh, yes. Good morning once again, mayor
and council. Um, I only have one thing. I just wanted to share a quick update regarding the Dural Central Park parking garage project. Um, so over the past week, um, our office has met individually with each council member to
review, um, conceptual design and the cost estimate that we received, um, from, um, Kimly Horn, who is the, uh, company that did our conceptual um, design for us. Um we are now ready to move forward with the request for
proposal phase for design and construction manager at risk services which will come back to council for consideration and approval once that process is completed. So um we will move forward with that and then bring back
the item for approval um when that uh when we complete that process. >> All right. Thank you very much Madam Cher. Next item >> city attorney's report. Thank you, Madam Mayor. Uh, council, I want to report back. Uh, this is an item
uh that Councilman Pierro had asked me to look into whether uh as a city we could dedicate certain rights of way uh for skating purposes. Uh the problem with it is is a few. Uh one of them is uh the actual streets that we have and being able to create Cheryl markings for
skaters to be able to use it. But beyond that, there's also a statutory issue with regards to skating. Skating is not considered like bicycle where bicycle you can create bicycle only lanes. You can't do that for skating. Skaters are considered like pedestrian. So it would be something a little different. So one of the things that I discussed with
council Pierro and I'll be bringing back in December is a resolution urging our state legislature to allow us uh to be able to create such a such a lane uh for skaters only. Uh also I'm probably going to ask for a executive session on AASA versus Builtmore, but that'll be in
December. >> All right. Thank you very much. I believe uh city clerk's report is attached. >> It's attached. >> All right. I think that that exhausts our morning agenda. Then we need a uh recess till our afternoon.
>> Motion. >> Motion to recess by Councilwoman Reoso. >> Second by Council Pedo. All in favor say I. >> All right. This meeting is recessed until the afternoon. Please remember we have a very long protocol hour, so please be on time. Thank you. Part: 2

that works. >> Yeah. So, I'll just recap um the uh the Dorado transit uh study that we performed um a little bit of background uh as to why we performed this study. The study we started actually a version
of it in 2020. uh we concluded the study and uh recommended um system was that that we called the hub and spoke where it was basically um new routes and realigned routes that all converge into one central point here in the downtown LA since then a couple of things
happened co I think you've heard about that um and also the u the 2023 implementation of the better bus uh network that Miami date county did uh this is a big one mainly because it restructured this is the first restructuring ing of Miami date
countyy's bus system in over 40ome years and um even though they reached out to all the municipalities and they received feedback from every municipality uh restructuring still took place and in this case in the city of Dorado there was a lot of coverage that was removed.
uh thus um um f having the need to relook at this study from 2020 to see how we could provide u increase coverage especially from the one that was removed from the uh better bus network implementation. So again, this the purpose of this study was to look back
at the hub and spoke uh and see what changes could be made uh pending uh because of what was done in 2023 for the better bus network and also u instead of having this hub and the the bigger the other big idea from the study was to instead of having just the one um hub
have many hubs many connection points. How do we better integrate these new routes or these existing routes um to transfer in various places throughout the city not just within one central place? Um so the study process um simple
like your typical planning study we collect existing conditions uh we make uh assessments on these existing conditions. We engage the community to get their feedback as data very useful data indeed and then we make recommendations upon that.
what I mentioned about the better bus network. Uh this was um this was the first restructuring of the routes of Miami date county in in over 40 years. Um and and quite a few were eliminated from with within the city uh basically leaving the city with very little
coverage uh from regional transit. Um and so this is the um on the left here we have the existing system of the Dorado the Dorado transit system Dorado trolley system and on the right we have the Miami date uh better bus network what it looks like today as you can see
only the southwest southeast portion of the city is covered um very little uh leaving the Dorado trolley system to you know carry a lot of that uh uh bulk when it comes to intracity uh trans intra
Uh this is the existing system. Um not going too too much into detail but just the four existing routes. Uh route one being the one that carries uh the bigger load. It tries to do a lot of things. It covers um most of the city um and so um
hence the um um large headways or or substantial headways at least what is typically perceived by the writers. We have route two that we're calling the um um Palmetto connection to the commercial area and we have route three which we're
calling Palmetto to um to residential providing connection for the residents to outside the city and we have route four which is the one we're connecting the students the residential population to the FIU campus. Um so that's the
existing system. What we did like like I said study the system existing conditions see how we can improve upon what's already there which was pretty good to begin with. Um so what we have here is just GS analysis of the um the transit dependent population. What you
see there in the second map the first one is just a system overlaid with all the points of connection throughout all the points of interest throughout the city. The second map is just where there's density of transit dependent population meaning the students and the elderly population. As you can see on
the northwest of the city is where the where the biggest uh density of residents are. Hence the biggest density of transit dependent population. And then the third map shows the residential uh areas versus the commercial areas where people live and work. As you can
see it's an even split. On the southeast everyone works. On the northwest everyone lives for the most part. Um and then the last one is just the heat map to to see those differences. Uh a little bit better color coded.
Uh the writership we had data the counters have been on and off but we have good good enough data from the counters to to assess where the biggest ridership was. Again it's no surprise that within this residential area is where the largest numbers were um for
boardings and all lighting. Um, as I mentioned before, we had two public meetings. A lot of you were part of that as well as the general public. We received good feedback. Uh, the the the very uh the very obvious one being
um um frequency of the trolley, which is highly dependent on the number of vehicles and you know, we'll get to that. We'll talk about that. But again, um this was the first presentation where we just talked about existing conditions, what it is that we're doing. Then on the second one, we presented the recommendations that were wellreceived
uh from the public. Uh again, everyone expressed support um especially for the new Route 5, which we'll get to and the mobility hubs. Um again, so the recommendations, what is it that we're doing? You know, it's a growing, it's an ever growing city. It's growing now faster than than it has
before. We're just trying to meet those needs with the transit system. Um so this is a breakdown over here on the right. Um we show the just the the general recommend recommended system and then this is a breakdown of the routes.
Um route one and 1 A and 1B are basically uh the biggest change where we're splitting route one which like I said try to do a lot of things. Um try to provide a lot of coverage that's much needed. Uh so what route 1A and 1B do is sort of like distribute that load. um a
bit more strategic. Uh route 1A, for example, is now providing access to Miami date west campus that before wasn't. Uh and it's staying within the residential slash um north uh north northwest area, northeast area of the city, the commercial area, the downtown
area. Um, route 1B uh connects the residents to again continues to connect the residents to um Dolphin Mall hub um as well as the southeast commercial areas of the city. Route two uh stays
pretty much the same with a slight change of instead of going down uh 87th Avenue, we're going we're hu >> No, we're Yeah, we're going down 90 97th now. >> Oh yeah. Right. Yeah. Their health route
or health. Yeah. Thank you, Rita. Um, yeah. So, route two, the biggest change or the only change is that instead of going down 87th and having sort of that dead headway there, we're going down 97th where we're capturing a little bit more of a residential population. That's pretty much the change for route two.
Um, route route three is doing a pretty good job on its own. So, we we didn't touch that and neither did we touch route four. Uh and then the biggest uh uh addition is the what we're calling health route which again we're connecting the Pomero station to all the medical facilities that are within the
city uh going down 84th A um and connecting to U Health over here going through downtown as well as to um Jackson West. Uh this is a breakdown of the um those routes that I just covered and pretty much what it would take uh from a
vehicle perspective. The amount the number of vehicles that it would take to have uh acceptable headways those being either 15 minutes or 20 minutes, right? Anything beyond that it's uh the perception of the public is that it's just too slow, right? So acceptable headways from a transit perspective is
15 to 20 minutes. And to do that, we will need approximately from 31 uh to 40 vehicles. Uh today's infra um inventory it's 23. It's slightly better than it was back in 2020. Uh but it's still um
um long ways from being able to provide those headways. Um >> it's expected. >> So this is the two systems compared to each other. The one on the left is the existing. The one on the right is what's being proposed. As you can see it's uh it's overlapping of routes, good
redundancy. uh um usually more than three routes connect in each of these points that I will get to. Uh but just providing uh um substantially better coverage than it is today which is already good. Um this is the hubs that I mentioned
before. This is instead of having um just one central hub which would be ideal. Uh the 2020 study envisions something really close to um city hall where all the routes would converge. Uh but again that is highly dependent on private infrastructure private um
rightway. Uh and given that you know there's those are seldomly available. Uh we moved on to looking at areas that are within public rightway where more than uh just one route um connects right at least two or three routes connect two two or three routes of the proposed
connect as well as regional uh routes from Miami date. So over here we have six hubs uh four being newly proposed, two already existing which are the Dolphin Mall hub and the Palmetto station. Uh and again this is um this is the start of it. This is by no means the
final amount of hubs. There could be more than these uh but this is a start um at least a conceptual tentative place where they could be uh located. Um this is what a hub um or what a mini hub uh would look like. um uh just an
enhanced station that provides uh first of all coverage from the elements as well as amenities like uh bicycle parking, wayfinding, etc., etc. This is just conceptual renderings of where we're proposing them uh downtown
um um the raw central park and with a conceptualization of what a modern vehicle would look like. And down there is just a rendering of what it doesn't have to look like this. It's just a concept, just a a pretty picture to showcase what they can be.
Lastly, this tags uh taps into the transportation master plan. It was already adopted. Uh this shows on the left the existing um all the existing stops within the city and their amenities and on the right uh sort of those recommendations that were made in the TMP uh as far as part of the transit
element of it. uh where we have also enhanced amenities for a lot of the uh stops within the city where we um the writership was more the the the rule of thumb there for recommending for example shelters was that a stop that had 25 or more riders a day uh merited a shelter.
A lot of them did a lot of them do have that therefore they merited a shelter and thus uh it was proposed. Um getting into the vehicles uh this is sort of the exercise that was done as part of the study. Um we looked at a um
quite a few in in in a two tier approach. We looked at quite a few uh vehicle manufacturers eventually uh landing on hometown manufacturing mainly because this is a current provider of the city and because it does provide um all the fuel sources that have been uh
previously looked at or or or or could be uh implemented as part of the the the new fleet. Um, so again, this is the Hometown Manufacturing View model. It's pretty much the trolley, right? But it's just a modern version of it, which
is what we talked about. Uh, this vehicle in particular, it's a it's small in nature. It's not a large bus, and it still has that feel of the of the trolley, but it's just it's a modern vehicle. It accommodates u uh more people. Uh, and it definitely has a more comfortable seating that the one that we
have heard a lot of feedback that we don't necessarily like, which is the, you know, bench seating. And so again, Hometown Manufacturing is the current provider. The view model has all these fuel sources that you can see here. And you can see the prices uh that are still within range. U
we have another model from Hometown Manufacturer. This one we call the urban model and low floor and it's it looks more it starts to look more like a bus, like a large bus. Um and again, we just as part of the exercise, it was another one that we looked at. has three different fuel uh sources and the prices
go up substantially. Lastly, um the third candidate of that narrow list uh was from New Flyer, the Excelsier, am I pronounced I hope I'm pronouncing that right. Um and again, these are the um the models that were
looked at. The prices uh depending on the fuel sources prices are substantially high compared to the hometown manufacturing models. Um, again, this is just a comparison of what is and what could be uh just some some quick branding as to what it could
look like a more modern vehicle for which we've expressed um um uh a need before uh and and sort of like an comparison of what um what the elements would be, what the improvement would be. Lastly, the cost. Uh this is a very very
summarized version of what's within the report, but it's essentially um um costing out u what it would take to provide those 15 to 20 minute headways based on vehicles. Um and then and then the rership that would um that that is
estimated um if if the fleet was such uh so for example to provide uh 20-minute headways needing 33 vehicles um the red ship would go from 375,000 that it is today with the current system to about a million. Again these are estimates based
on what's available. Um and then these are the capital costs and the ranges there that you see is from uh the the cheapest versions which is gas or diesel uh to the fully electric fleet. You can see the ranges in price there and then
the um the on andm costs um um again were obtained from the current O andM cost from the city as you see in the on the top and then extrapolated as to what it would cost based on um industry standards. Lastly, the next steps uh would be again
today's discussion whether or not it's adopted, moving forward to uh agency coordination, restructuring of the routes and eventually moving on to design and engineering of the infrastructure that it would take. >> Okay. >> And that concludes that. Thank you.
>> All right. questions. >> I have some. >> I figured. >> So, if we can go back to the um proposed route uh 1B, I believe that this is the route that
connects Legacy to Central. Correct. >> Correct. >> So, I have I have a concern about where the hub for Central is. Did we explore at all with the moving of Dorado Central Park's main entrance to 92nd? >> I apologize for that because I didn't
cover that part. Yes, excellent point. Yes, we en we first envision that hub or that enhanced stop >> within the quarter itself, the street, right? Uh because uh the regional routes connect to that. But there are there was talk and there was discussion to have a hub >> on the west on the northwest area of the
park. Correct. Where there is um >> I'm not I'm not proposing for it to be inside the park. I just think that with what we're planning with the um garage and the retail and all that that hub should be discussed or or or planned for either 92nd or 33rd understanding that
87th is a major thorough way but I think that you can still have a stop but I think a hub and more so I think the people that are going to use that route and the purpose of that route being so utilized is because we're going to see a lot of our older population and the
students using the connection between the two parks is extremely important. I think that it it merits to discuss it being closer to the entrance, the main entrance of the park. >> Yeah, and I absolutely agree and we've we talked about that and again the major
reason why this one is is being shown there on the m on the major corridor is because it connects to a regional route that's already there. So, but yeah, absolutely. We we discussed having one on the northwest area of the park, not within it could be within the garage. would be ideal where it would have a
transfer transfer point. >> Um >> but if it's not there, it would either be on 33rd um um where both routes 1 A and 1B actually reach. So, >> and what is the headway between Legacy
and Central? How many stops is there in between? >> I wish I knew that number off the top of my head, but I don't. And and by headway you mean what literally >> how much time between the between them getting to I mean assuming there's no traffic. >> I don't have that data with me right now. Whatever number I'm giving would be
an accurate number. Yeah. >> I'd like to know as Oh, you do Rita? You have it? >> So So as part of this study, we're doing the alignment and then once we you get adopted, we work through the schedule. So at that time when we do the the we get a trolley out of service and run the
routes, then we create a schedule and that time we'll have the we'll have the actual schedule. But right now, I don't have the time for that. >> Yeah, cuz this is just more like an alignment. >> Got it. It's just as we're as we move forward and adopt a plan, I want to make sure that we're adopting a plan that's meeting the needs of the the current
requests. I mean, I know you guys did a lot of community outreach and workshops and stuff, but sometimes things in theory are not as practical when they're put into practice. Um, and so that's always my concern. So, I definitely want to make sure we kind of look at those
things. I would like to have those numbers before an adoption of understanding maybe some of the reduced headway hopefully it creates by splitting that route. I also didn't see here anything. Oh, we discussed this already. Never mind. We can't include our lady of Wal Lupe because there is no
place for the trolley to stop. Right. >> We've been looking at Lady Walupe for 10 years now. Yes. >> Yes. We discussed this. I we discussed that at the workshop. >> Right. Right. Yep. Yep. Yep. >> I remember now. Okay. Um, so obviously this is a very ambitious plan. It requires a lot of capital. Um, because
even though we have 23 vehicles, they're not on service at the same time. >> Go ahead, Rita. >> At peak, we have 16 vehicles running at a time. >> Running out of time. Yeah. Now, what the required or suggested
proposed vehicles here is with a 15 to 20 minute headway at 33 is not that all 33 would be in service at the same time either. How many do you need in service to meet that? >> It would be about uh six. It was it was six per route, I believe. And um so
we've been again I'm not giving you the numbers off the top of my head. I wish I had them right this very second, but it it to obtain 15 to 20 it was six per route >> on service at all times. >> On service. Yes. We would have two at least. >> That's very ambitious. >> It is. Yeah. Yeah. It's quite ambitious.
Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. Um, do we have so is I didn't see the numbers here. I'm sure you have it within your studies the number of writership because I know when we're talking about the new trolleys. I personally like the nostalgic look of the other trolley. It gives it that
small town feel. >> However, I do know we have to modernize a bit. >> I always envisioned as we expanded our routes for them to be more direct, more frequent um connecting
you know, shorter distances that we could look at like smaller buses, not replace particularly our trolleys, leave those for like, for example, the FIU route, some of the more >> the routes that cover a little more ground and then possibly looking at the
P at at having a smaller bus or something a little more modern but smaller um that would cover those other routes, maybe more cost effective. >> Did was that looked at at all? cuz I know you said the ones you're looking at are actually bigger. >> We looked at them and and the ones um
and it could have been again we could look at them again. Most of them were um were not um manufactured in America. They're European vehicles. Um they do have them and they actually do have them in place um in in in places like Italy or France where they have it. Yeah. It's basically a mini bus and it's electric
and some of them are even automated and we looked at all of those but again arrived at the you know let's look at what the current what what the uh manufacturers are that we could easily um procure uh the vehicles um from and none of them manufactures such a bus
hometown I we did speak to to hometown and they are making a lot of changes to the way they run things so I wouldn't be surprised within the next like back in 2020 the hometown >> that they started to make smaller ones >> exactly they didn't have any of these models back in 2020. So they they're very they're very new. So >> no, and we also even though we have 23
on fleet, we have probably six, five to six that we need to retire. >> Yes. >> Completely that just are I think we have one from like 2009. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So >> So this is if I may. Sorry. So um we
have money budgeted for this fiscal year to buy one of the gas buses if if the if it's adopted the study. So what we'll do is we're going to do a pilot program. I already spoke to Martin to do a pilot program for a one year just to see if we'd kind of like the bus so before we commit to it. >> So that's another thing that we could
we're we're looking to do before you know >> I think we need to have a bigger discussion about how we're going to continue to manage our fleet and purchase the capital. Um and I know that that's a discussion I've had with the manager and you guys are studying and looking at right now at the feasibility
of what that means for us. Um, so I am going to reserve my comments for a discussion in house before we take this to to having a discussion fully about it because I think that there needs to be a lot more information. Um, and I think it
behooves us to have the discussion cuz if we want to provide the service that we anticipate and that our residents deserve and expect as as far as quality um, and timing, which is what's going to motivate people to use the service more, and we're going to see an increased wrership, I think we really need to talk
about how much the city can put up capital wise upfront. So, I think there's options to being able to provide the service and enhancing our uh transit plan and adopting something like this, but there has to be additional options
as far as um vehicle ownership, maintenance, leasing, which doesn't require us to put the capital up front. So, I know that that's something that's been discussed and is not necessarily something everybody likes, but I do think we need to have a
real understanding of how it could save us money um and how it can allow us to provide this service quicker to residents because otherwise meeting the reading meeting the expectations of this study and the amount of capital we have to put up I think I saw like 32 million.
If we could go back to the page, I don't know what slide number was, >> but it's a lot of money. We don't have that capital, nor are we going to pour that capital in all at once, especially if we want to build the hubs and everything, which I really like. Um, do we have the rightway for the hubs? >> Did you check that?
>> Ideally, in all of these places, we did check. Again, it's a it's a planning study, so we didn't get down into the rightway and the actual as built and details of it, but I did mention that these are within public rightway, and we did look at where there was um enough sidewalk space to build that. For example, here in downtown where we're proposing that, yes. uh in front of the
park. Yes, because that rightway does belong to the park. So, you can expand behind the sidewalk. >> Yeah, there's some other areas there that I don't know that we have that right away. >> Um and uh and um let me see if I go back to But yeah, it was again it's it's not a detailed engineering study. Uh but for the most
part, uh based on the available uh parcel data, it seemed like there was enough rightway to go beyond the sixoot sidewalk. Yeah, I don't hate the new models, but I just I'm nostal I'm nostalgic when it comes to the trolleys >> and and and this is probably the reason
why this one again, we we we we looked at them all and we thought that this one met all the criteria when it came to that. Again, regardless of the fuel source, it's just it still has that that that nostalgic look, but it's just a more a more comfortable uh version of it, which for years we've been hearing that
from the users. >> People don't like the benches, huh? >> They do not. having writing them written them and doing surveys on them for quite a few times. Yeah. >> Um >> and and >> and to sorry to add the gasoline creates less downtime. So what happens to the biodeiesel? I was just going to ask
about the gas and the saving is there any maintenance and operational savings with the gas? from a gas it would be that Megan from a capital perspective there's substantial capitals and then from a maintenance it does remove that that the biodeiesel but >> it will be >> the um but yeah the long the long run
yeah I know we we would like to do something more um eco-friendly such as electric and LPG but it does require infrastructure >> so we had a conversation with the city of Corables and they we kind of emulate a lot of their their technology and they're actually buying a gas a gas uh
vehicle right now that's being manufactured because of the downtime and they do their in-house maintenance themselves and they're very proactive cordos >> and they're very proactive in their maintenance and they just have just the same thing that we have the issues with the downtime. So they they're you know
their writership is 12 minutes every 12 minutes there's headway and the moment there's they don't have a schedule so if there's no no vehicle there people are calling in. So that's why they're they're very on top of it but so they're in the process of actually going going to gas as well. >> Okay. And this um enhanced um plan has
two routes that lead into the metro rail now, right? We only have one right now. >> We have two. >> No, we have three. We have three now. >> Oh, we'll have three now that lead into the metro. >> Route two would still uh be leading to the metro and route three would still and then >> and route A1. Oh, route five.
>> The health route. >> Um >> so three routes would would connect to Metro. >> And in route five, can we go to the new route, the route five? Did we really see a need to create a direct Yeah. >> So that was part of our conversation
with Kodina and U Health for them when they were building 84th Avenue to have a cor a connection directly >> because that's when when it'll be completely >> Yeah. Yeah. So that we could have like a direct connection into downtown Dorado. >> Yeah. Okay.
All right. Um you're not expecting us to adopt this today, right? >> So that was the plan. I mean obviously at your discretion but yeah to to adopt the plan so that we can move forward with the fine-tuning of the implementation and bring forth to you the schedules and all that. >> I'll tell you I'm not comfortable
adopting the plan today without having a discussion about the future of our fleet personally. So mayor if I may um I have a I wanted the study to come so that you could see what the proposals were with respect to
the routes which is important and get some important feedback with respect to that. I think we yes the department has a plan and we wanted to bring that forward because they have been working on it for a while but I do believe that this is part of more holistic
conversation. we need to go back and examine um exactly what you're talking about which is do we have the capital to be able to to to actually meet the demand that we have obviously from the
time that I was here before and when I returned and from what I had looked COVID happened there are a lot of things in the way that have prevented and and let some of the vehicles again have excessive mileage um they're old. So we,
you know, it's it's not to anybody's um uh >> fault >> fault, but it's just the way things have worked out and that's happened. We Rita went and met with the Gables and looked at their operation, their operations different than ours. And so those are all things that we need to take into
consideration, but we're taking some lessons from um those municipalities and what they've done. Um and um and I think yes, it should be part of a little bit of a larger conversation. I've had a conversation with the deputy city manager and the assistant city manager
and we do want to do a bit of a larger analysis um with numbers to see what the options are in into where we want to put capital or we want to go to a leasing option and we need to look at that as well. >> Yeah. I and and it's not my my purpose
or I'm not asking for this to be put on a shelf and and not brought back out in a year where it's outdated. Definitely not. I think that we do need to move forward. But I think by adopting it, we're sending a message of implementation and it's unrealistic if we don't have a plan for the capital and
if we don't have a plan for how we're going to manage the the outdated fleet we have. So um what I'd like is if if we have the support is maybe to come back in the next 90 days 18 I think 180 days
too much but I think like what the thing is we have holidays but I think but maybe by February if we can come forward both together truthfully we don't even have the contract with our with our maintenance right now it's like on a monthto monthth we've been pushing the can and kicking the can and kicking it so we need to
come forward with an idea because I'd like to implement a plan that we can actually I mean I'd like to adopt a plan that we can actually implement. If we can look at the possibility of a leasing program, I think we can meet the expectations of this plan quicker. So
that's where I am. Otherwise, I want to tailor back the the study and the and the and the the adopted plan because I think I think it sets a better expectation to the public. So that's where I am on it. If everybody's okay with that, then we can allow
administration to continue to work on their analysis on the leasing versus capital. Um and and that way we're not just continuing to purchase when we may make a transition. So um I think that it behooves us to kind of look at this in a
you know more globally if everybody's okay with that. >> Sure. I have a comment. >> Okay. Yes. Councilman Reynoso and then Councilman Benedo. >> Okay. Thank you. So, first of all, you know, obviously these routes um benefit the most needy
um residents or residents that are looking to afford um living here, cutting on cost of transportation, whatever the name may be. Um our elderly population, our younger population. So,
the realization of this study is very disappointing to me. and repeating it's to no one's fault but I think we need to align ourselves like the mayor is saying for a more realistic approach to getting this done because
right now my calculations are the efficiency rate that we have in our transit system is about a 504%. Which is bad. Um, and I also have a question. Once we start ordering these fleets, how
long does it take from the time that we order it to the time that the city receives it? >> 18 months. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, essentially, even if we were to adopt this plan today, we wouldn't see it coming online for about another
two years. And I think that transparency and that clarification to our residents needs to be said and um needs to be broadcasted to them. So I like the proposed routes. I think they're going
to be a benefit. I agree with coming back in about 90 days or so with um a more concrete plan on how to get this going because we're we're still going to deliver this to our residents in about 2
years. So, and in two years a lot of things can change. So, I I I would like also to um have a campaign kind of build into this as well so we can get that information out to the residents so they know what to expect as well. I think transparency is key. Letting them be
involved in this process is also very important. I really like the hubs too um that were presented as well. Um the coverage from the sun is something that is safe for our residents to stand under and be is important to me as well. So,
yes, a 90-day return time for this to discuss this um with a with a better plan to get this going is is something that I would like to do and not waste any time on this and look at our other finance options for this because I know our budget doesn't allow to kick in
another 15 20 buses that we may need and this is really just to cut down to the the maximum time allowed it which is about that 20 minute time. So even to get it down that five extra minutes that could make a huge difference in somebody's dayto-day and the route,
we're very far away from that. >> But the transparency and letting our residents know where this is at is very important. >> So um I just wanted to clarify. So normally we work a lot in tandem. So as we're procuring vehicles, we're also doing the backend office. We have to do
public hearings when we make changes to our routes since we get CICT funding from the county. So these are things that we have to go to board of county commissioners. So these are the things that we do at the back end that to get ready and then we increase our our rolling stock which is our fleet so that we're ready to implement hopefully and
and we build that up as we're working on on that schedule. So you yeah maybe two years but we're working behind the scenes to hopefully get it done and and transition into it. Well, technically it doesn't take that long to implement, right? Between the approvals at the county and stuff, we can be implemented
in six months, probably less. Um, the the difference is we implement without the amount of vehicles, you're going to have 30 to 40 minute headways in between and then you're going to have people that are not necessarily happy. The other thing that we could look at um the
other thing that we could possibly look at is in the wrership and I would have to break down the numbers more than what we saw here today is that if we can shift and I know we do this now right we have more we have more um buses on route one because it's a higher utilized route
then on route three um or I may be saying I'm wrong but you know the the ones that have higher ridership we have more more buses because it comes more frequent we have more riders the ones that have less you less. So that may be a way to implement too like for example the
the the route that connects the ones you're calling the the health route or the what did you call it? The >> the health route. >> We could probably get away with having two to three there versus the six you're proposing, >> right? Um you may have more time, but I
think that would be probably less utilized route. So then you can shift more to one B and 1 A or 1 A and 1 B which I believe will probably be some of the more more popular routes and route three. So I think that there is a way to look at implementing faster than than we
anticipate. But I think a lot is going to have to do with whether we move to a leasing option or we continue to buy trolley. Go ahead. >> I also want to clarify I think the the so so there's two things, right? There's there's existing demand and there's future or expected demand. Correct. >> What we've heard, especially from the
community, is that these changes to the route address their demands. So, so in that sense, yes, the route, what we're trying to do here with the larger fleet is to attract more riders, right? Correct. To to entice people to actually live, correct, and and and work within the city, >> they they still don't pay for the route.
So, it's still not going to provide me the funding to be able to make the purchases. So, I get what you're saying, >> but it's a free route. So, >> I hear you and I agree. I would want to implement the split of route one tomorrow because I know it's going to address some of our bigger issues like connecting Legacy Park to draw Central
Park which is an issue for our seniors right now. So I hear you 100%. I'm with you on it which I say I don't want this to be put on a shelf and not implemented. My goal is to get this done in the next three months, but we need to have a plan because I do think we can do
this rather quickly if we move to a leasing option because we're going to get we're going to get an infusion of capital and it's going to cost us more along like over the year to pay in maintenance and stuff, but I'm going to be able to put 30 vehicles on the road possibly if they can get them. It's
going to take them 18 months too probably to order as well. But but they can possibly get more quicker on the road than we can. It could it could take them what I'm trying to say is it could probably take them 18 months to get 10 vehicles on the road where it could take me five years to get 18, you know, to
get 10 vehicles on the road because I don't have the capital. No and again without extending the because you know we've been looking at it for but it's also an availability too because yes a leasing a leasing company would be ideal for this partic for quick implementation but it's availability of such companies
right now you know the market is very very limited when it comes to >> yes limited but there's it just takes a long time to produce these vehicles >> of course >> yes I got it okay council pedal >> thank you mayor I I also want to well first of all I want to thank you because
the the fact that you mentioned about the leasing versus the capital I think is is the the right way or or the route to go and I also want to thank you because you guys have been working on this for for months and I know it's a lot of work especially for our public
works department which by the way I don't want to kind of blame everything on you guys because I think the blame comes to us as a as an elected officials and the administration not only now but previous administst administrations as well because you know
when we talk about the the DAL trolley smart plan coordination study this has been going on since 2018 and we're in 2025 so it has been seven years in the conversation
and our population continues to increase >> residents continue to demand because again public transportation you hear that a lot out there that it is and should be one of our priorities ities. But the reality is that we haven't done
anything until probably last year when we have been very proactive about it with the construction of addition of new shelters, additions of uh uh vehicles. But the reality is that when it comes to
the trolley and the and our uh transportation system, it has been something that for years has been kind of put it aside and the the resins are the one paying
the the price. Our our kids, the ones that use the trolley during school hours, the people that come to work, the people that don't have a vehicle, the ones that don't have a driver license. So, and I always like to use the example that ask any relative of one of your
family members to go out and spend 10 minutes in one of the shelters without or one of the benches without a shelter at 12:00 in the afternoon. So, uh it's I mean to be honest doesn't represent what Dorado is as a city, what we have around
as a transportation system. I mean that's that's my belief. I mean it's it's awful when you see some of the stops, some of the shelters, some of the benches. Um you know, especially benches. You have areas where most of the areas where we don't have a shelter,
it is it is terrible because I mean doesn't not even the appearance is appealing. And again, the fact that in 2018 the conversation started and now we're sitting in seven years later and we're still having the conversation, I
think is about to move forward. And that's why I want to put a challenge not only to to our great city manager because I know she will make it happen. uh since we're we're the as I always like to say we're the council that makes
sense and that really make things happen and we have been doing it in the past year especially but we have to be proactive about it and again it's not you guys you guys are doing a great job this message is more to my colleagues and to the
administration because we really need to make an action and move forward on this because at the end of the day again population will continue to increase. We love to talk about smart city. There's nothing smart about our stops
and our transportation system. So, if we really want to keep preaching that we're a smart city, we need to take on take on on the challenge and work on our transportation system. Our trolley
stops. There's nothing smart about our trolley stops for example when it comes to technology. So again we have to look into the the fleet should be part of the conversation 100%. The leasing option really makes more
sense at this point if we want to see a difference in a short term but I really would like to you know for this to be a one of the challenges that we face in the next year or so. so that the resins are the ones that can see a benefit and
a result because so far again I know has been seven years and and I don't want to blame it on the previous administration the previous council but nothing took place and and that shouldn't happen again so I want to thank you for it's a
it's a great study I think it give a lot of good insights a lot of good recommendations and I will certainly be ready to move forward as soon as we get um the information regarding numbers especially when it comes to the to the fleet
because I think that's going to be crucial moving forward and especially the timing because I don't want to you know spend another two three years and still having the same conversation again. >> Thank you. >> Thank you councilman. Okay. Any other
comments? Yes. Councilwoman Boris, >> I have a quick question. So, are we proposing to defer the item and come back after a longer conversation? >> I don't think we're going to defer it. I think we allow the administration, given the direction to come back in, I guess, February with a full plan. Also, the
proposal for how we're going to manage the fleet um because we do have a lot of vehicles we need to retire. So, >> are we including like the leasing option as well? That's the that's what we're looking at doing is coming back with an option for um on&m and >> everything we need to do to to manage a
fleet. >> I know I've I've asked you guys about you know the um the pros of leasing versus purchasing because I know a lot of cities lease. So I I I would also like to see the leasing options too. >> Yeah,
>> that's one more comment. >> Yep. Any more comments? >> I do, mayor. >> Yes. Go ahead. And I just want to thank staff. The study is excellent. I think it was super easy to understand. Um, and staff for always doing an amazing job. I know that this is a job that you take
pride in doing and you can tell by the quality of work that you produce as a department. So, I don't want to end the discussion on this item without letting you know wholeheartedly how much I do appreciate you and I know that our residents do as well. So, thank you. >> Thank you.
>> All right. I don't think we need a motion. I think there's enough direction to come back with a full discussion on this and we'll work on that. >> So, thank you guys also and thank you to the consultants. I did participate in many of the workshops. You did you guys did a great job in listening to everybody. All of you, the department,

permitted in single family residential districts. They operate very similar to group homes for the elderly. Um so they they still need to function similar to a single family residential home. you can't have more than I think five or six
occupants. Um, and it's not supposed to impact the immediate surrounding area. Um, the ordinance provides for a structured application and review process. The review will be an administrative site plan review. There are time frames that are codified
pursuant to the ordinance. We have to review the application and within 60 days determine whether the uh request can be uh approved or denied. Um, and we also need to provide reasonable accommodations. So, in order to comply

kind of boundaries once we bring future inventory into uh future inventory online. Um, so right now we also off So the one we want to eliminate is the $25 annual permits. Um, they're just not
sustainable and uh bring in future inventory and our parking expenses would go up mostly on the labor. So if you guys have any questions for me. >> No, I I checked the ordinance. Anybody

Anyone who would like to speak on this item please approach podium. Being none public comments is now closed and we'll turn it over to Councilman Pito. This is your item. >> Thank you, mayor. During the October 2025 council meeting, the city became the first municipality in Midday County
to pass legislation regulating the use of microobility devices on cities right rights of way. Subsequent to the legislation passage, the city held a regional microobility conference workshop with local municipalities. And I want to thanks uh
Mayor Fraga, Councilwoman Reynoso, our city attorney Lorenzo Gubella, our city manager Zeda Sardinia, and our chief of police Edwin Lopez for for being present among other elected officials from different municipalities that came to to
the workshop. not only to it was good because we were able to listen uh other municipalities's concern regarding the regulation of micromobility devices but at the same time we were able to discover additional policies that certainly uh could enhance our city's
legislation. As a result of the workshop we learned that other municipalities were requiring the registration of microobility devices operating in municipal rights of way. This registration process will allow the municipality, the city of Dorado to
ensure that microobility devices uh is meeting the city's regulation also provide for education on safety and provide for greater regulation of these devices. The addition of a registration requirement is in the city's best
interest and will certainly advance public safety. So, I will ask my colleagues to uh support this ordinance and I want to thanks our city attorney once again for uh helping on drafting the ordinance and I will refer to him
for any additional comments as well. >> Thank you, Councilman. My pleasure. >> Thank you very much, Councilman. Any questions? >> Motion. Motion's approved by Councilwoman Reynoso. Second. >> Second by Vice Mayor Cabra. Um I just have one question. There is is there a

providing for saleability incorporation to the code and effective date. All right, I'm going to go ahead and open up public comments. Public comments is now open for item 19E or 25-6279. Anyone who would like to speak on this item, please approach the podium.
>> Okay, being none, public comments is now closed and we'll hear from Roman, our procurement uh division. Uh thank you, mayor. Um basically what we're doing here is we're updating the uh procurement code um which will allow
um we'll provide best practice as it relates to the um thresholds that are already authorized by the city manager from 0 to 50. So what we're doing is we're asking for 030 to do one quote uh 30 to $50,000 uh three quotes. Aside
from that, we're asking for a modification to um the exemption for the purchase of food for needs and events as well as uh requesting a um $10,000 uh fee uh as it relates to a bid
protest. We think that $1,000 is too small in case we need to defend the the protests for the city. >> Thank you, Roman. Can you just explain the purpose of having three quotes? >> The purpose of having the three quotes
is to check the market. Um, normally we don't, unless we do a formal bid. In this case, this is an informal process. So, all we're doing is checking the market to make sure that we're paying the right price. >> Does this make it easier or harder, more restrictive, more lenient for the city
manager to expend under the uh threshold? No, I think it it's more expediency at least for the department level for us to be able to check those those quotes and make sure that we're we're paying the right price. >> But right now we have no requirements. >> No, right now we're going from 0 to 50. There's really no no methodology.
>> So this basically creates it creates more um >> transparency, >> right? Transparency, more guardrails, makes it a little stricter to make sure that we're not just going with any vendor, but we're providing three quotes to make sure that it's market rate. >> Correct. >> Okay. And then the the reason for moving
from a thousand to $10,000 for the bid protest. You explained it to me. I just want it for the sake of the public to understand um why we are increasing that rate. >> Right. And this is something probably the the our city attorney can explain. But it does take a lot of money when
you're defending bid protests. Um his time the time of the um administrators that are going to be involved. You want to you want to go ahead? So, so the amount to make it equitable, mayor, is either 10% or 1% of the value, whichever is lower, right? So, if it's if you know it's a $1,000 contract,
we're not going to charge $10,000, right, for you to do a bid protest. But if it's a $10 million uh project, yes, you would probably have to pay the $10,000. And that's just for the time that it takes for us to have to investigate, do our due diligence, and prepare to respond to that bid protest. >> Right. So, right now, it's $1,000 for
any size contract. Correct. To my understanding. Now it'll be based on a percentage which is the 1% >> or less or less whichever is right. >> Correct. >> All right. >> Any other questions? >> I have a quick question. >> Yes. Comes in. >> So the um the bond that they It's a
bond, right, that they post or is it they're they're just paying? >> They're paying. >> Okay. So they wouldn't get it back if they win or lose the protest. >> No. Okay. Got it. >> No. And again, it's not 10,000 right out. It's you 10,000 or 1%. So Right.
Got it. Okay. Any other questions? >> Motion. >> Okay. >> Motion to approve by Councilman Pedo. >> Second. >> Second by Councilwoman Reynoso. >> Madame Clerk, please call the RO. >> Motion to approve ordinance number
202546 on first reading made by Counciloman Pedo. Seconded by Councilman Reoso. Council Pedo, >> yes. >> Council Reoso, >> yes. >> Council Poras, >> no. >> Vice Mayor Caval, >> no. >> Mayor Frago, >> yes. >> Motion passes. All right, we move on to the next item.

Being none, public comments is now closed. Um, this is the second reading for the use of the seal and the logo that we enhanced to make sure that uh it was being followed and that um nobody was misleading the
public in a disparaging manner as to their personal or political opinion versus their position as an official representative of the city. Also for the use of the seal or the logo by any member of the public there's no
additional questions. I don't believe there was any material changes from first to second reading. >> No, it's just little. >> There was there was just a reference to statute 165.043. That's the only change. >> Yeah. >> Motion to approve. >> Motion to approve by Counciloman Pinedo. >> Second.

They're using it for all the cities. I just would like to, you know, request approval for them to utilize it.
>> I don't have and they asked if they can use the seal or the logo. So, I'm not sure what this body would like them to use. >> I think the seal. So most of our state representatives have a seal in their offices that have been gifted to them as a representation of the cities they represent. So I believe what the
election supervisor is trying to do is no different. She's putting up a wall of all the cities that they represent. >> Thank you. >> I have no problem with anybody else's. >> Okay. Yep. All right. Um we are I've exhausted this meeting and there's
nothing else and we can uh journ the meeting. >> Motion. Yes. Uh, Vice Mayor Kal has a question. >> Um, may I may I ask for a point of personal privilege? >> Sure. >> Thank you. >> I would like to take this opportunity uh that today will be the last council
