at 10:29And before we adjourn, I just want to take this opportunity and thank the PROS team, both the administration
at 10:45that the people of this community have open and green spaces that they can enjoy with their families.
at 32:38Listen, you're bringing so much joy, so much joy in my heart this afternoon, because I was very proud to sponsor legislation for financial literacy,
at 33:03So we are proud of you, and I know so many little girls who are watching right now, you represent, you know, a model for them,
at 10:15Let's please stand for the prayer this morning, the invocation led by Commissioner Gilbert and followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
at 28:44I'll recognize the commissioner from District 8 and she can recognize you for a presentation or questions or as she so chooses.
at 3:58All right. Does anyone wish to bifurcate any of the balance of the agenda? I need a motion on the balance of the agenda.
at 4:12Those opposed? Show the balance of the agenda passed. Is there anything that needs to be advanced, administration?
at 1:04:01And then would you consider working, if we move this forward, right, would you consider working with the administration to make sure that there is some kind of assistance to the residents?
at 1:04:12We find out how many of them there are, if they provide them the information that they need, and if they have to move where they would move to, what exactly do they need to do?
at 12:21And I must say that I'm blessed because I've conducted civil cleaning campaigns in my district as a result of these illegal dumpings
at 13:24And I'd like to thank both departments and every other team in Miami-Dade County, including the Mayor's Office, for supporting these efforts.
at 52:12So, and then we also need to ensure that, my recommendation is that we need to ensure that a condition poses an immediate threat to life or people at the risk of serious bodily harm,
at 1:05:01We should ensure that the condition poses an immediate threat to life or risk of serious bodily harm if utility remains connected with a clear definition of imminent danger.
at 21:01Give us the strength to continue to serve all the residents of Miami-Dade County with love, courage, and compassion.
at 26:18Mr. Chairman, I would like to also be listed as a co-sponsor for 2A.
