Stopping the uh social moment. All right, everyone, good afternoon. Today is November 5th, 2025. We are here, of course, for a regular city commission meeting, but as I mentioned, though the title is regular city commission meeting, meetings are never regular because there's always important business uh to take uh here as a city commission. So today is no different, and as we uh ask before we ask everyone to rise for a moment of silence, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. I would like to extend a moment of privilege to our chief of police, Jeff Devlin, uh, who would like to say a few words of remembrance uh before we rise. Good afternoon, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Commissioner, thank you very much. Uh last week, as many of you heard, uh fortunate accident took place with Officer David Cahuso from the Miami Beach Police Department. Um not many people know, but he also was a Hollywood police officer from 13 to 15. So our uh thoughts and prayers are with his family, the Miami Beach Police Department and our Hollywood Police Department family. Thank you. Yeah, thank you, Chief. And I know uh the fraternal order of police has also been uh trying to support the family, and of course, uh as a member of the Hollywood Police Department, it uh touched a lot of our hearts just to see that in general. Uh you know, it's to see his smile there, and uh I never had a chance to meet him, I'm sure many of us didn't, but uh just a terrible tragedy for for the family and and just for for the law enforcement community, so our condolences. Uh please rise in remembrance of the officer, followed by the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the Republic for which stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. An important moment we also take each meeting is to recognize our veterans, and this is just in advance of Veterans Day. Uh veterans, active service personnel and their families, please rise. Uh we'd like to recognize you. Thank you. Roll call, please. I'll go ahead and activate the mics. Okay. Vice Mayor Quintana. Here. Commissioner Shoeham. Here. Commissioner Hernandez. Here. Commissioner Kalleri. Here. Commissioner Gruber. Here. Commissioner Biederman. Here. Mayor Levy. Here. All right. Thank you so much. Today's consent agenda includes items five through twenty-three. These are items that don't usually require individual discussion. However, if there is a request from the dais or a speaker card on any of the items, we are happy to discuss them individually later in the agenda. Uh Pat, are there any speaker cards on five through twenty-three? No cards. Is there a request or a motion from the dais? We have a motion from Commissioner Hernandez, second from Commissioner Kaleri to approve the consent items. All those in favor say aye. Aye.
