He also expressed concern with speeding and the lack of police presence in his neighborhood. He further expressed concern with having the City of Miami Gardens identified; certain areas of the City are being called Opa-locka and Carol City. Regular City Council Minutes - January 14, 2015 Page 2 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JANUARY 14, 1 2015 Mayor Gilbert informed Dr. Jackson that someone will speak with him with regards to increased police presence. The zip code issue is also being addressed, but it is a process. Ulysses Harvard, 1693 NW 193`d Street, Miami Gardens, Florida, appeared before the City Council to express concern with Item L-1. He shared that one of the individuals that bided on the Planning Services is actual a product of this community. He asked the Council to consider E.L. Waters & Company, LLC., for Planning Services. Sonia Flowers, 17435 NW 17th Avenue, Miami Gardens, Florida, appeared before the City Council to express concern with the Granny B Restaurant Property, which is vacant; also the gas station on NW 19th Avenue and 183`d Street.

She announced that Scott Lake Crime Prevention meeting is scheduled for January 29, 2015, starting at 6:30 p.m., at Scott Lake Elementary School. This group will be hosting its annual outing to Orlando, Florida to the Holy Land, February 28, 2015. The ticket price is $95.00, which includes the bus fee as well as food and the entrance fee. Charles McCoy, 16200 NW 18th Place, Miami Gardens, Florida, appeared before the City Council to express concern with noise in his neighborhood. Mayor Gilbert informed Mr. McCoy that the City has a noise ordinance in place. It is just a matter of getting enforcement out to his neighborhood. Betty T. Ferguson, 1625 NW 188th Terrace, Miami Gardens, Florida, appeared before the City Council to speak on behalf of UP -PAC and many others in the community, as she has done for the past 30 years. She shared when the City was created she limited her political comments to Saturday mornings at UP -PAC. Ms. Ferguson stated that it has been painful for her to watch a brand-new city with the opportunity to be different, as it was created to be. However, the City is starting to look very much like the County. The City Council will vote tonight to award a contract that cuts to the very heart of why she is feeling pushed tonight to the point of speaking out. She said residents want to understand why decision -makers in the City of Miami Gardens appear not to be concerned enough about the perception all over this County that qualified African-Americans don't get opportunities. She opined one of the reasons Miami Gardens was created was because residents believed we could better govern ourselves and that African-Americans could have a fair chance to get contracts to grow and develop their businesses. We of all people understand the excuse used by the power structure to keep us at the back of the bus. Ms. Ferguson emphasized the importance of giving African-Americans who are truly qualified opportunities here in Miami Gardens; opportunities that did not exist in the same system that we pulled away from. She conveyed her belief that the City Manager if allowed Regular City Council Minutes - January 14, 2015 Page 3 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JANUARY 14, 1 2015 could spread the word around that major contracts are given to qualified people. Many will feel that they are being treated fairly. We have professionals to manage our City, and opined the Council should not be micromanaging because they are not the paid professionals. The council members were elected to represent constituents not to rubberstamp. She further opined that each Council member should have a Legislative Aide that would do the researched, to assist the Council in making decisions. Ms. Ferguson opined, in the wake of good government elected officials should have to justify why they voted a certain way. When it comes to major contracts we should not feel there is an uneven playing field. Latasha Pickett, 9431 Live Oak Place, Davie, Florida, appeared before the City Council to express concern about not being able to become a vendor at the Jazz in the Gardens Music Festival. She indicated that she has been trying to become a vendor for the past four years. Mayor Gilbert asked Ms. Pickett to speak with Assistant City Manager Vernita Nelson about this matter. Melissa Williams, 1810 NW. 152nd Terrace, Miami Gardens Florida, appeared before the City Council to speak about the character of Mr. Elbert Waters and his company. She shared that she has known Mr. Waters for over 51 years. His parents lived around the corner from her. She shared that she is very familiar, as well as she is sure the Council members are about Title VII, which relates to equal opportunity, and not be judged because of the color of one skin or religion, race and all the other stuff. She shared that Mr. Waters is a graduate from FAMU. He was a city planner for the City of Miami, as well as a supervisor for the Water and Sewer Department for Broward County. She stated that she did not want the Council to award the contract because he's black; she wanted the Council to award the contract to Mr. Waters because she believe this company is the best qualified. She commented, "If not now, when." Mayor Gilbert took this opportunity to present Mario Bataille, Deputy City Clerk with a proclamation. He shared that it was only ten years ago that Mario was working at a movie theater picking up popcorn. He started here in the City as an assistant in the Office of the City Clerk. He was smart, intelligent and conveyed his interest in becoming a City Clerk. Our Clerk who is a teacher sent him to every training session required for his certification. That is not a story only related to him, but a story throughout the city and its employees. People who started at the bottom have moved up. Vemita Nelson started out as a contract employee she is now an Assistant City Manager. The city provided job training and gave them not just jobs; the City gave them careers. Mario is leaving us to become a City Clerk. Mario's story is not uncommon because whether it be Daniel Rosemond or Renee Miller, or any number of black municipal professionals around Broward and Dade County; they got their training here in the City of Miami Gardens. So when you say why the City was created I give you Mario Bataille, a guy who was picking up popcorn ten years ago. He is going to be a City Clerk in the City of Hallandale Beach. I give you Renee Miller, who is the City Manager of Hallandale Beach. I give you Regular City Council Minutes - January 14, 2015 Page 4 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - JANUARY 14, 2015 Daniel Rosemond who is the Deputy City Manager of Hallandale Beach. I give you administrators from around this area that we offered opportunities to. They are gone. Mayor Gilbert commented, so, you say why this City was created. One of the interesting questions was if not now, when and shared one of the contractors for the City Hall complex was Foster Construction; which was not only black but local and lives here in the Andover area. When the bond was done all three law firms used were black. When we do public relations, Sonshine For All, and Circle of One are black. We are the Council that sent residents to the police academy, and gave them careers in law enforcement. That is who this Council is. So, when you say that as a City we have deviated from the message that is not true. Mayor Gilbert shared that the production crew, which provides the staging and equipment services for Jazz in the Gardens, "Drummer Boy" is a black company. The City Manager, the Assistant City Managers, the Chief of Police and the two Assistant Chiefs of Police are all African Americans. This Council did that. These are the facts. He encouraged residents to ask the City Manager who the City is doing business with. He also shared that the City has been doing a good job in hiring residents. He further shared that the City has the only African- American female Building Official in the State of Florida. Mayor Gilbert presented Mario Bataille with a proclamation, proclaiming, Wednesday, January 14, 2015, as Mario Bataille Day in the City of Miami Gardens. Mario Bataille thanked each member of the Council for their support over the years. He also thanked the City Manager and City Attorney for their support. He further thanked the City Clerk of believing in him and his ability; for her guidance and leadership.
