God, our Father, on this day that we've never seen before and we never see again, we just come first saying thank you. Thank you for every opportunity to serve. Thank you for every opportunity to make your will manifest in this planet. Thank you for the opportunity to help people. God bless us as we deliberate, as we absorb information, as we make decisions, make it so that our decisions are in a betterment for this community. Amen. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right. It's a good time to have reasonable opportunity to be heard, right? So why don't we say it? Reasonable opportunity to be heard is now open. Anybody wishing to be heard, please approach the podium. Give me your name, your address, and give me your thoughts, but just think them in less than two minutes because that's the amount of time you have. Anybody wanting to be heard, no one wanting to be heard, reasonable opportunity to be heard is now closed. Madam and Mr. Attorney. Good morning, Mr. Chair. All of the, well, it would be reasonable to add a reasonable opportunity to be heard on the add-on items as well. Okay. So when we just did that, that wasn't included? So with the setting of the agenda, your added add-ons from the printed agenda will be added. So why don't we just go to the agenda and then we approve the agenda and then we'll do the reasonable opportunity to be heard for the add-on items. Thank you, Mr. Chair. All changes to your preliminary agenda have been noted on the official printed agenda. In addition, there has been a request for assumption of sponsorship of item 3F by Senator Garcia. But he's not even here. I'm joking. Okay. I need a motion on the agenda. It's been moved by Regalardo, seconded by Bastien. All those in favor, seconded by Bastien. Aye. Those opposed, show the agenda approved. Now, reasonable opportunity to be heard is now open on the add-on items on the agenda. Reasonable opportunity to be heard is now open on the add-on items in the agenda. Anyone approaching? No one approaching. All right. Well, reasonable opportunity to be heard is now closed. Madam Attorney. The first item on your agenda is a public hearing item, item 1G1, ordinance relating to the Rapid Transit System Development Zone, amending Sections 33C2 and 33C3.3 of the Code of Miami-Dade County, Florida, expanding the smart corridor subzone of the Rapid Transit Zone to encompass certain private property in the vicinity of Southwest 27th Avenue and Southwest 28 Lane, located within a quarter mile of a public transit station, providing severability, inclusion in the code, and an effective date. This is a public hearing item. Public hearing is now open on this item. Public hearing is now open on this item. Public hearing is now closed on this item. All right. Is there anything from the dais on this item? I need a motion on this item. It's been moved by Bastien, seconded by Commissioner Bermudez. Call the roll. Is it an ordinance or call the roll? Commissioner Bastien? Yes. Commissioner Bermudez? Vice Chair Warren Regalado? Chairman Gilbert? Oh, yes. Motion passes unanimously. All right. Next. Your next item is item 1G2, 1G2 supplement, and 1G2 substitute. Ordinance relating to the Rapid Transit System Development Zone, amending Section 33C2 of the Code of Miami-Dade County, Florida, amending the Metro Movers Subzone of the Rapid Transit Zone to add certain private property, providing severability, inclusion in the code, and an effective date. This is a public hearing item. Public hearing item. Is this the last public hearing item? Yes, Mr. Chair. Okay. Public hearing is now open on this item. Public hearing is now open on this item. Public hearing is now closed on this item. I need a motion on the item. It's been moved by Bastien. It's been seconded by Bermudez. Call the roll. Commissioner Bermudez? Commissioner Bastien? Yes. Bachelwoman Regalado? Chairman Gilbert? Oh, yes. Motion passes unanimously. All right. There are no other public hearing items. Is there any, can we take all these items together? And from my colleagues, are there items that you want to pull out and bifurcate? Anything from anyone? No? All right. Can I take these items together? Yes. I need a motion on all the items. It's been moved by Regalado. It's been seconded by Bermudez. Are there any ordinances? No. Resolutions? All those in favor signify by saying aye. Those opposed? All right. Show the balance of the agenda adopted. To the administration, is there anything that we need to try to, or to my colleagues who have these items, is there anything that we need to try to solicit the chairman to advance out of order? Is there anything? Okay. There's nothing there. All right. Is there any unfinished business? Commissioner Regalado, you recognized. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just have a question because we added some items here for the RTZ in the city of Miami, and I was just wondering, where's that litigation? Because these things continue to be pending. Yes. We have been in communication with the new mayor of the city of Miami, and she's working through some issues with them, but we think that we have some progress there. So I'm hopeful that we'll be able to land this plane or train, whatever it is, sooner than later. But either way, if they can't come, we can't come to an agreement. I think the litigation is going to have to pursue, but I think that we might be able to do this. Okay. Thank you. Mr. Chair, if I may, one item, I think it's item 2A. 2A? I'd like to move that if we can to the next meeting on the 18th. Move that 2A to the next meeting on the 18th. Okay. What is the process? I don't have a problem with that. I'll recommend it. I think the new process requires me to do what, Bia? You have the wrong day. A memo? All right. Well, my office will prepare the memo, or who needs to prepare your memo? Me, or the, okay. Commissioner, prepare the memo and forward it to me, or, because you'll know why it needs to be moved forward. And I'll forward it to the chairman, but I'll recommend forwarding it to the next member. Okay, perfect. Yeah, I just, we, it's, you know, it's been sitting there. We want to get housing quicker. That's... Oh, no, I believe that, and what happens is, and I'll just say this for folks, every time, sometimes it might just seem like a month, but the cost of money in a month is a lot larger than you, you would think, and the cost of time is a lot larger than you think, and so I understand moving it forward. Okay. I'll get it to you. So, Mr. Chair, be mindful of the fact that you have to state the reasoning for moving it. There is a change now. You have to state clearly... We have to state, yeah. ...reasoning for moving it to the next BCC. And so, he's going to... I'll send you the memo. Send me the memo. And so, it'll be at the pleasure of the chair, but I don't have a problem with it. And Senator Garcia is saying that he wants to move what? 3F? There you go. Yeah, I don't have an issue with moving that either to Senator Garcia's staff. Get the memo to us, please, today, because if you get it to us today, we will turn it around to the chairman's office and officer chair today also. We'll turn it around. We will get it out. We'll get it to you. Okay. All right. Anything else? I need a motion to adjourn. So moved. So is adjourned.
