No discussion on the item. All in favor, say "aye." The Commission (Collectively): Aye. Chair Sanchez: Anyone in opposition, having the same right, say "nay." Motion carries. ORDER OF THE DAY Chair Sanchez: (INAUDIBLE) to order. Want to take this opportunity to welcome each and every one of you to our historical City Hall. The order of the day is the agenda that is in front of us today. Those are the items that'll be taken up during this meeting. [Later...] Chair Sanchez: We move on to the consent agenda. Before we move on to the consent agenda, Mr. City Manager, are there any items the Administration or Legal may want to pull from the agenda? Pedro G. Hernandez (City Manager): Mr. Chair, Commissioners, we are withdrawing item PH.10 and continuing FR.1. Chair Sanchez: Okay. FR.1 is being continued to the next regular Commission meeting -- Mr. Hernandez: Correct. Chair Sanchez: -- and the reason why that is being done, that's the panhandling ordinance. They're still working on a fiscal impact study that should be prepared to accompany that resolution, and also, the mapping was not correct on this agenda book. The mapping has been changed, so therefore, we felt that the ordinance, although it is prepared to move, it did not have the proper documentation in this agenda. And therefore, as the Chair and someone who continues to require that all ordinance that come in front of this Commission have a fiscal impact study, we requested, through the Administration, that this item be continued to the next regular Commission meeting. All right. For the record, those are the items that have been City of Miami Page 4 Printed on 4/2/2008 City Commission Meeting Minutes March 13, 2008 withdrawn and continued. [Later...] Chair Sanchez: All right. FR.6 is the art entertainment mural regulation. I had stated -- and I need to clarify -- that at 2 o'clock -- that was going to be the first item after 2 o'clock. Well, it's going to be the second item after 2 o'clock because we're going to take up RE.2, which is the Museum Park, and the reason is we're paying this consultant a lot of money for being here, so let's get him out of here quick. All right, but it'll be the second item coming back after lunch. [Later...] Commissioner González: RE.2. Vice Chair Spence-Jones: RE.2, we just said that we're not going to take up until after -- Commissioner González: Oh, I'm sorry. Vice Chair Spence-Jones: -- lunch, so we're going to move to RE.3. Well, actually, RE.4. Is there anybody from --? -- okay -- Capital Improvements. Ola O. Aluko: Ola Aluko, director of Capital Improvements, City of Miami.
