Following that we have a special request from the victim who happens to be the Editor of the Community News to present an honor to our public servant. I would like to remind the Commission during the meeting of November 21, 2017, the City Commission moved and approved the deferral of all the items related to The Shops at Sunset Place. The motion was "a motion to defer this item for up to 60 days". The sixty- day period ends on January 20. After consultation and agreement with the City Attorney, at this point tonight someone on the Commission has an opportunity to make a motion to defer the entire group of items relating to this project until some date after the election to allow the new Commission to address it should the applicant signal its intent to resume its pursuit of the application. According to OFO the total bike rides last week were 372. Ms. Kamali and I had a conference call today regarding the septic tank replacement pilot program established for us by the Legislature. At our request, the potential vendor met with the Deputy County Manager and DERM. Based on the response that they received, we suggested that they meet with WASA to discuss the technology and the permittablity within the Dade County system. We are hopeful that WASA will also approve a pilot program quickly. Samantha Fraga Lopez is our new Personnel Office Director and she is here tonight. Samantha is a Florida barred attorney who comes to CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM the City from private practice where she specialized in labor and employment low.
