Thank you so much.

I apologize we had technical difficulties, but welcome to our recreation and tourism committee.

Um today, October 14th, and um we will begin with a quick moment of silence and reflection, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by uh Keoni Mickey Republic for which she stands one for God.

All right.

I have no cards, I don't see anybody here for that.

So reasonable opportunity to be closed is now closed.

Um I know you have some changes to the agenda, city attorneys uh county attorney's office.

Can you please let us know what they are?

And then I have a few additions.

Yes, the items to be considered today are those on the printed final agenda with the following changes.

There are four add-ons, one G1 supplement, one G1 supplement number two, one G2 supplement, and one G2 supplement number two.

There's also a scrivener's error discussion item one F should read park update, impact of budget reductions on parks and an update on Amelia Earhart Park.

With this with these changes, a motion to set the agenda is in order.

Do I have a motion?

Move it.

Second.

Um, all in favor.

Aye.

Show the agenda set.

With that, I have a request to defer to the next committee meeting.

Items one F1 and 1G2.

Having said that, is there anybody here from the public who wishes to speak on any of our public hearing items before one G2 is deferred.

Okay, I don't see anybody, so that will be deferred to the next meeting.

And with that, we will take one G1.

Thank you for joining us.

Board member Permutis.

Thank you so much, Madam Chair.

Uh first of all, this is uh a P foul ordinance.

Excuse me, sorry.

May I read the title?

Sure.

One G1 is an ordinance relating to animals, amending section five-16 of the code of Miami Dade County, Florida, allowing the county to opt out of regulations relating to PFOL as to any designated area in the unincorporated area, approving the district twelve unincorporated area PFOL mitigation policy and providing for the funding to implement such policy, providing several inclusion and and exclusion from the code and an effective date.

I just want to co-sponsor it.

Yes, yes, absolutely.

Commissioner Regalado has dealt with this in her district a lot, and I'm gonna be brief.

I'm not gonna show the video unless you guys want to see it because the P foul caused a lot of damage.

Because not only they have they become a nuisance, but they've caused damage to property, cars, roofs, believe it or not, roofs.

The lady had to replace her whole roof.

Um I'm leaving it now for district twelve because we don't have a policy necessarily in in um in the county, but it's a offering relief to the residents, and obviously uh I did not know this, but uh a flock of peafowl are called a mustard.

So we're trying so um without this, they are unable to seek relief.

They have the petition, but uh Commissioner Regolado has done a fantastic job in our district because I know Pinecrest, South Miami, and Coral Gables all have ordinances.

Uh I think the city of Miami has a process.

I don't know if they have an ordinance.

Um but obviously we've we're gonna contract with a responsible private entity, uh, which is newest the new essence wildlife control operator listed with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, which specialize in the uh humane removal of the PFOL and the public rights of way, which is where it really has impact.

We in District 12 would dedicate funds for this purpose.

Uh you can see from the memorandums both the mayors uh and and also Mr.

Ray is that it's not gonna cost the county uh any money.

But if you want to see the video, it's up to you.

But I'm telling you when you see them, they cause a lot of damage in people's homes and they in our district, it's really been causing a great damage to the unincorporated area in District 12.

So it doesn't hurt anybody.

It's being done humanely, which is the concerns that others may have.

Um but um that's it.

I hope we can get I I would ask for your vote.

Yes, thank you.

Um and with that I recognize Commissioner Regalado, and I don't know if you were gonna be making the motion.

Um yes, thank you.

Uh I would like to be at it as a co-sponsor.

Um and I would like to add district seven if you're okay with it, because we've been working on an item and it's like the same thing.

So why duplicate the thing?

I would rather that the two of us ride together on this.
