our seat and turn off our cell phones so we can call the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee meeting to order. Mr. Clerk, please call the roll and announce the presence of a quorum. Yes, good morning, Commissioner Bastien? Here. Commissioner McGee, Commissioner Regalado, Vice Chairwoman Steinberg, Chairman Garcia? Present. Four members present, we have a quorum. Before we get started, we're going to have Commissioner Bastien do a prayer and then followed with Commissioner Regalado, the Pledge of Allegiance. But folks, just remember, we can keep Margie, that her mom passed away this weekend. Please keep her in her prayers. She's an amazing human being and she did a lot for her mother, so we can just remember that. And I appreciate that, so Commissioner Bastien, please. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Dear Lord, guide us, protect us. Illumine the lamps of our hearts, all of our hearts. Give us the strength to continue to serve all the residents of Miami-Dade County with love, courage, and compassion. We ask this in your name, dear Lord, as we all say, amen. The case of America, for which is one nation. All right, folks. Thank you. Madam Attorney. Good morning, Mr. Chair. Now would be an appropriate time to extend the reasonable opportunity for the public to be heard. Okay, thank you. We have public testimony. Now public hearing is now open. I think we have Ms. Holmes. Welcome. That's what you all define. Okay. Madam Anita Holmes, I checked the clerk for the address. I just wanted to give an awakening because I'll allude to something. And I'm hanging out with you guys today about resilience and how you define it. I am the creator and the founder of Wave of Women in Public Housing, as well as BBC's 2025, one of the great hundreds of women like us who are out there talking about being green and environmentally green. Women work is a big project for me. It's proven. But right now I'm talking about how resilience is defined by those of us that live in the inner city community. Those of us who think that when a kid's nose is running that he has some type of snotty nose when it just may be the allergies based on the products that are utilized by the homeowners and the developers that we have allergies for. I've got 60, it's a big issue when you're building, when you're building, you must build safe and you must build healthy. Just flowers, that's what they tell me they are, but yet you have to carry a hippie pen. It's just drywall, they say, so we'll just, or it's just a little bit of mold on the AC, so we'll just take a mop and clean it up, can only use Clorox. So the lack of education, the lack of resilience, and how I have been able to balance it through these respiratory illnesses, non-contagious, of course, unless you're ignorant of it, it will get you. And these days, development and housing don't reveal the truth. So when you define resilience, and we get so much funding and resilience, and we talk about building, we talk about the unforeseen disparity when it comes to the health of people like myself with disabilities and housing, then we need to start talking about high quality standards in housing, and your inspectors need to be taught. Because quality housing is going to be healthy housing, which keeps us safe. And I'll tell you a little story later if you come to the housing meeting, because this is real and as deadly as it can be. Thank you so much for listening. Thank you so much for bringing that to our attention. Really appreciate that, and it's true, because resiliency can mean different things for different folks. And I appreciate you so much for bringing that to our attention. Just for a matter, thank you, Senator. Remember, you were my first commissioner that I ever spoke to, my first senator that I ever spoke to in my entire life. And I've been here over 37 years. Thank you for that. Thank you. Appreciate you. Saying I'm old, huh? All right, with that, anyone else would like to testify? Seeing no one else, that's a closed reasonable opportunity for public hearing. Mr. Chairman, the matters on today's agenda are those listed on the official agenda. There are no additions or changes. All right, is there a motion to set the agenda? So moved. Agenda, all in favor, say aye. Aye. All opposed, like, sign. Agenda's set. We're now on the agenda, correct? Correct. Any items that we need to hear? The first item on the agenda is item 2A. Which is that one? All right, 2A. 2A it is. Is there a motion on 2A? Second. All right. There's a motion and a second. All in favor, say aye. Aye. All right. Item of attorney? The next item is item 3A. Move it. Show me as a co-sponsor? Happy to. All right, thank you. All in favor, item 3A? Aye. Aye. All opposed, like, sign. C3A adopted. Now we're on 3B. 3B McGee. We have to look at this. Okay. Can I co-sponsor that, too, as well, Mr. Chairman? Same. I would love to. It's a great item. That is a good item. Thank you. All right. Move it. Second. All in favor, say aye. Aye. I'll oppose, like, sign. So let's see the items adopted. Members, anything else to come before the committee? Yes, Mr. Chair. Yes. 3B, please show item 3B with a co-sponsorship by Commissioner Bastion. Okay. Mr. Chairman, I would like to also be listed as a co-sponsor for 2A. This is awesome. This is really good. All right. Perfect. So Commissioner McGee as a co-sponsor for 2A. Anything else, members? With that, I think, Commissioner Steinberg, move as we rise. Before we rise. Before we rise. Go ahead. Yeah. I brought up the same thing in transportation. So appropriations hasn't been meeting. I'm getting a little concerned about the budget. I think we should have a discussion item and talk about the budget in our committees. So if you talk about our parks budget, we need to start tackling this. We cannot leave it till August. So I think it's an opportunity for us at our next committee meeting to at least discuss the departments under this committee. And make sure that everybody's on the right track. Because if not, we're going to have a very busy August, which I know a lot of you have elections. So my concern is that we're running out of time. If there is a need to course correct, we need to course correct in the next 30 to 60 days. So I would ask you to entertain a discussion item. I know that the staff is already working on the budget. But it would be a good opportunity to start having that conversation where they could still get a little bit of input from us before the July publish. And I appreciate it. I think it's a conversation worth having, especially when it comes to parks and where we can maximize revenues as well. And you've been talking about that. And where we can revisit some of the expenditures. So I'm perfectly fine with having that conversation of what you all are. I know we made a motion to rise. But I don't know if there's anything that we need to be doing to ask. Do we ask the chairman? How do we proceed with this? We can work with you to get a discussion item placed on the agenda once you decide which agenda you would like to be placed on. All right. Can we try to do that for the next committee meeting? Yes. That would be ideal. That way we can talk about it and give some feedback before the July publish. And if I could ask the administration, I mean, we're here. Mr. Coley, we can start looking at get your team ready. To start having some of those conversations. And maybe we can start looking at where we can find some, maybe not only efficiencies, but maximizing revenues. And I think that's something that we can do more with our parks, especially some of the bigger regional parks. So I would appreciate that. Okay. Now we can rise. Now we can rise. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I always do. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
