>> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. But the reason I say it is because we need to give the sponsors time though they can know in case they do want to attend you know so they can know and put it on schedule especially SDU. >> Oh yes. >> Oh yes. Especially really
>> sponsor. Yeah. I h uh I believe our uh report to council is in February. >> I don't have the next schedule. So it's most likely the one from this year. >> We went I feel like in January, February this year. >> Yeah, that's it.
>> You used to be on >> um Yeah, I think you're earlier in the year. Um so maybe we can like in the same month. >> I think it's February and August, but with what you did that doesn't change anything. No, it was just

wanted to discuss that. Uh we can't do like a fall. too late >> uh thing if we're going to do it at the end of January, which I wanted you to check dates. >> Yeah.
>> Okay. >> I think we did that. >> Yeah. I want to say was at the end of January, right? >> Yeah. >> January. >> I don't remember. >> I do have the last name. I was >> Yeah.
>> Okay. Um Oh, okay. Respond to the next new year potentially July >> due to the animation class still being in session on November 8. Okay. But right before we discuss possible January

>> Okay. And then I mean we're going to be discuss Okay, I see. Let me run that by run that day by if not >> maybe later >> maybe >> March May
April. No, April's full. >> April's completely >> right. Okay. >> Okay. So, >> well, well, we can just say of January that you could >> 31st. Oh, the 24th of the show.
>> Well, I'm not sure yet, but >> So, yeah, I guess let me know what I said that we can put it in the calendar. What about the 31st? >> Are you guys okay with doing kind of like a carnival? Yeah. >> Scene. >> We got it approved, right? >> Huh?
>> We got it approved, right? making making money. Like I know in that quote there was like popcorn and you know >> pretty much like we did last year. >> Yeah. >> So it's kind of like a carnival. I know we got like the magician,
>> right? And the magician. >> I'll guess how carnival means decorations. >> Did you all do a motion at the last meeting to cover the full cost? Is that what's happening this time around? mentioned. >> Yeah, it depends on the council,
>> but there would be four that >> okay >> as a committee about how much it >> No, if you already did it. I didn't remember if you did. If you didn't, that's fine. >> We did it before >> like we voted.
>> We voted for it to be on the report presented to council. The council approved it. >> Okay. >> The amount Okay. >> So, do we need to vote on it? >> Just for clarification, the amount that >> you have that number.
>> It was 6 based on the invoice. I think the report to consider >> just so the motion reflects the amount and it's minutes instead of the council minutes. Um,
>> okay. maybe because I call this level then I'll report to okay so technique with card see attached okay so this is a different attachment so I
think you it's just said, "Hi, thank you. We had a nice conversation." >> 16. >> So, the invoice was for $6,35760. It doesn't look like there was an amount on the report, but it looks like you
maint. >> How much was it again? >> 6,357. >> Wow. >> What about pennies? >> 37 >> 6,367 >> 6 Yeah. 6357
and six. So, I guess do a bit of a buffer if you're buying things like tablecloths and other things in addition to that. Um, and then we need their W. I don't think or if we used them last year then maybe we have it in file.
>> I don't think so. We >> didn't I'm looking at the >> Yeah. Okay. So, we needed >> All right. So, I make a motion to um >> Can we go over what the proposal was?
>> Yep. I suggest you do because there'll probably be addition. >> Oh, yeah. I'm just making sure we can go over. >> No. Yeah. As long as council approved that SNAP's covering like you're doing this event, you're covering like the cost of it. >> Yeah. >> Okay.
>> Yeah. because what you'll be doing in addition is going to be less than 700 I imagine. So >> 7,000 >> total >> allocating how much? >> 7,000 >> for the uh
>> winter >> winter carnival event card >> January 31st. Um, >> oh, there's only two social. Yeah, that amount won't be until spring. >> I can put in my calendar. >> No, no. I'm looking at it like, oh,
there's only two. >> Um, usually use social for events like these. So, I second. >> All those in favor? >> I The motion passes. >> No. Why? Why
>> carry over? >> Carry forward doesn't happen until late spring with the the budget office. So that just reflects what's been spent, but the amount won't be with the new budget with the added money from this mayor's gala. >> Yes. >> I need to make a motion to open order of
business. >> Second. All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. I need to add to new business uh 7C um
for celebration. Do I have a second? >> Second. Second. >> All those in favor? >> I motion passes. >> I make a motion to close public comments. Second
order. Um, we don't want you. >> Um, all right. So, did we vote on closing? >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Motion carries.
>> So, let's keep going with the agenda. Uh, special needs safety program update from officer Aador. No new registrance for for the program. Um I know that Mario did send out emails from downtown. So waiting on the
updates, >> but I know that that's moving along that we're getting. >> Thank you. She's right there. >> Okay. >> All right. Um,
the park feature communication board. Uh, Jeremy's still on vacation, so I really don't have an update on that. >> But you do. >> Yes. It was declined by >> Oh, I keep thinking that.
>> But we did talk about that, didn't we? >> No, we we went to C town council to You weren't here last meeting. >> Okay. >> I had requested um that the amount was too high for that to us, but then we also were presenting it to town council
because that was a new thing, right? >> And they went >> right, but the idea the idea got approved. They want they agree with but the price they want Jeremy to do further research and find other quotes >> to see if we can get especially the
installation part down. >> I have a question. >> Yeah. >> And this a legit question like I'm not trying to instigate. If the money is there and if we voted on it why do they get to say no? like it's an honest
question >> because technically the money is not really ours. They have to approve. Anything over 700, >> anything over 700, anything new >> and we did not really approve that >> because at the last meeting we went we
went over it and we we had questions of that's way too high. We didn't approve it. Like I I thought we did approve it and it was just hey if we could get it cheap if we could get a second if they could give us like a special that this question.
>> Okay. >> Cuz it was it was like $8,000 for installations which is more than the 6,000 for the actual boards. >> Got it. >> Uh okay. >> But the idea itself is approved >> that's approved. >> Right. Okay. >> It's just the the amountable
and it's reasonable because that's outrageous. 8,000 is more than the actual >> than the cost of that. >> Okay. No, I didn't know that. I just I saw it as we voted on it. The money it's there. It's not like we're asking them for more money, you know? It's like we have the money to spend and we don't
want to lose it. That's why I always ask >> they still have to approve the money. >> Okay. Especially something like that that's going up on a public face, you know, >> you can't just decide like, oh, look, let's put
>> whatever we want. >> And also, there were some things on there too that said like we had to provide certain things. So, they're charging all this money, but then like you're the one that that brought that
up. Like there. Exactly. So, okay, they're charging all this money, but yet they're still so there were uh Yeah. Yeah. >> That was the part that was cut off. >> Okay. So, hopefully by next meeting um
Jeremy will have an update for us and uh you know, maybe he can discuss it with the council when he does his report. Let's see. fun. >> Yeah. Because it would be great to be able to approve it like to take it to
council at our February committee. >> Yeah. Report to council. >> Yeah. >> And we can already get it, you know, finalized and that'll be awesome. >> Now, I have a question for Isabella. Does it have to be someone that the town already has or uses or can we locate
other quotes? >> You can look at other quotes. Since you're a committee, you don't have to go through the procurement process. So, if it's a new vendor, we just need a W9 and know that information. >> So, feel free anybody has extra time in their hands, research it. Do you have a
question? >> Yes. Uh, are you do you still would you still like us to do research for ideas for the park or do we already have an idea more or less what we want? >> We already have >> an idea. We already have, you know, what
we want. We're just searching for a better price. >> Okay. >> Oh, I think what he might be referring to the pictures. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> The the sentry part that I >> when I when I when I found the photos
>> that was my first assignment. >> Yeah. >> Um >> yeah, I mean we're always looking for ideas. >> Okay. >> For everything, anything and everything. anything that you want to do research on or that you see something that you think
um you want to present to the board door is always open let me know so I can add it to the agenda >> I would say we should add it to January's agenda along with like actual prices not just like oh these are the
flowers that way when we do present to council and hopefully by then we do have an update on the board we could say by the way these are the other sensory park features that we could add >> that we put on the comes with the proposals and we discuss it at the
meeting. >> What I'm already working on that >> he was already working on that though >> but just park features. >> Yeah. Well, I don't know about that. >> We spoken about it in like a bunch of our meetings.
>> I think I did include some prices though too. Um, I don't remember the prices, but yeah, you had like the flowers, the reason why, the smells, the touch, >> the kind of gravel. >> Yes. >> Like all the different sensory stuff.
>> Yeah. Based on research and experience with other special needs individuals I've spoken to, >> what they like and what they don't like. >> I know Jeremy was looking into something adding >> those type of features. >> Yeah.
>> At the um Royal Oak's part. >> So, >> yeah, I thought that that's what we were talking about. >> No, what we were talk what we presented to the council was the communication. >> Okay. >> That project Jeremy's working on it, but he doesn't have anything finally yet.
>> Okay. >> Do you remember what the communication boards are? >> Yes. >> Okay. Moving on here. Okay. Okay. The 25th anniversary sensory room on Saturday.

>> Yeah. I mean, are you or um do you rather do we need people for setup or for later? during during with kids. So like from 4 to 8 4 to 8

adults only the town is only taking adult volunteers. the 25th anniversary committee decided that the alcohol at the event >> but not Brooks. >> Okay. >> So, >> cuz um her her group would be great, but I

You're not going to be >> Let's be real. We're not going to be there. >> You're going to help set up and then >> it's okay. You've worked very hard and thank you because you've been a part of
you've been vice chair, right, throughout this whole process. >> We're on camera. >> That that was a lot. So, thank you for that. >> You're very welcome. >> Cheers. >> All right. So, we're done with 25th anniversary.
>> Um, next up is the is game night. >> I believe that was your item. >> Yes. >> Oh, you weren't here. We were going to defer, but now wasn't aware of the change from the last meeting. >> Yeah, but I don't I don't want to defer it. As disappointing as it is, I would
still like to. >> Right. That's how we were going to. That's why we didn't do it. >> Yes. >> And now we're going to have a discussion of >> Okay. >> I guess a date and where and when and >> Okay. forgive if I was confusion confused because I was actually out of
town last meeting. So, I was >> so I I had no idea that we talked about the game night, but we'll talk about it now. Let's just say yes. I say we still do it and we could do it at Roberto Alonso. So it would be large enough to
hold the the the games the vital games and then we could put the bus right outside at the entrance of >> our house. We haven't presented the council. But one of the things also and and Isabella correct me if I'm wrong or
anyone else. Um, one of the things is they usually like to do it like in one of the community centers since it's being put on by a committee. They usually prefer it that way. So it's more public >> usually. >> Isn't the Roberto alone school? >> No, no, no, no. When when they when we
had No. I'm just >> there's a I'm not to be like nasty but like they support a ton of company local companies. So the fact whatever >> Okay. Okay. Whatever. So >> that's why I said correct
>> so I'm going to try to hold my tongue but other you know it's always those small businesses that >> anyways um >> I think in a conflict is that you're on the board. You weren't on the board. That's a different story. Not that we don't want you. Right. That's what the talk.
>> Yeah. >> So, yes. So, I think I think that's when I think we can do this in the like in February and in March. I think in New York that February, we currently have an event. >> And you and you know someone, right? I
mean, you have >> I have the company that um they rent out and I've used them for events before like from the company that I work for. Um, we've rented like the retro machines and he brings them.
>> Yes, it is. The owner knows >> I figured. >> Yeah. >> But yeah, definitely bring him in. >> Is is there like a proposal something that he can >> I didn't know what the budget would be.
Um, but you guys tell me. Mhm. >> We would I think we need a proposal of everything we you guys are going to be doing like the truck thing. >> What else besides the truck is the the event? >> It's a way to build PE to bring people
together to get >> right. No, I know that part. I'm saying what besides the truck. Yeah, we need the quot we need the quotes from both the truck and that. Um, we could also bring in local vendors. Like there's someone that crochets like little anime
things. We could have maybe people from the anime uh class there as well doing like >> do it. >> Huh. >> Yeah, that's a good idea. And also bring in We'll need a sponsor. I know a place that can possibly sponsor us. It's a I don't know if you know nowhere comics.
>> Oh, I haven't been, but >> yeah, I I go I shop there. So >> that's awesome. Yeah, we could we can look into them having like some comic uh stuff. >> Funkos. Funko Pops. >> Funko Pops. Yeah. Um >> maybe we could even have a a tournament
like we have if we're bringing in these games and things like that. We could do like a Super Smash Brothers tournament. Things that I don't play, but I know everyone else. >> Gamers and things like that. >> I'm not good at it. >> We're going to need a proposal of everything you want. Well, of course
with prices, right? So, can we at least um until that just keep it I mean it's on the agenda but keep it we'll we'll have to create the proposal before the January >> um meeting that way for the February
>> account so it could already be approved with all the >> Go ahead and boo. >> Yeah. >> But I do have a question. Did you want to just do video games or you wanted to combine video games with with other games like board games?
>> Yeah, it could be it could be everything. It could be the retro arcade games. It could be board games. It could you could even have a couple domino tables going on. >> Yeah. >> Um, >> you know, that way it appeals to everybody and that way not everyone is
just waiting for one of the games. That's >> true. Yeah, that's why I wanted it to be kind of both. Yeah. And then of course we would also have tables. We bring like food. So that would be >> Yeah.
>> And if you work together remember >> No, you can't. Okay. >> I know. >> You tell her, she tells him. >> Ex. Yeah. She tells her. >> So I believe >> you have to go through her. >> Yes. Exactly. >> I think that in order for it to be success, we'll have to the the ideal is
March or April. >> Okay. Well, yeah, we would bring up the proposal and then the committee can >> Yes. >> to be as successful as we would like it to be. >> Now, can they have >> No, I'm going to say can they have a sub commmittee,
but then we need quorum for that too. >> You only need special call for for special. >> Okay. So, >> they can too just meet for a special >> for a subcommittee. >> For a sub. It could be just them two. >> Yes. >> Yeah. But Isabella would have to be present. >> Yes, I would be present and then it' be
recorded. >> Yeah. Yeah, if you wanted to meet in person to discuss or if you want to do it via email, it' have to be through me and then so whatever you guys prefer. >> But but you have that option too that you just get together instead of going
in a meeting and you don't have to store that like >> you have a vendor table, right? >> Yes. No, >> I was sharing but I need to check that. I wanted to see if you can you can have the amendments. >> I don't know.
>> Okay. So, yeah, this is the only >> that might be the same conflict. >> Okay. >> So, but I'll check I'll check >> I don't want to speak for I'm not sure legal wise, but >> catering I was thinking of >> I know favors I think maybe >> Yeah, we would in the proposal I'm going
to make sure that we have local businesses. I'm no offense to Publix. I love those chicken nuggets, but I'm tired of giving the same money over and over and over. And it's not my money. >> And Pine Crest Bakery that they promote,
you know, you know. >> Yeah. I just want to be able to like >> spread it out, be like, "Hey, let's order from Dice this time. Hey, let's order from, you know, let's order from like different places." That way you're supporting our people
that are paying rent. Yeah, promoting or alternative taste. >> Yeah, I love all those things. They all do catering. Everyone right now is struggling. So, >> yeah, >> you'll find out. >> Yes. >> Mhm. >> Okay.
>> That'd be great for January. January. >> No, it's too soon. >> No, they're going to give us a proposal. So, I'm sorry. And then we got it. Got it. Got it. Okay, that that'll be our that'll be our homework for Christmas break.
>> Moving on to the art gallery opening event which also got purch. So, um I was thinking of doing it for April >> in collaboration with uh
>> OJ affairs. >> I haven't really brought it I mean I brought it up to the chair. >> She's probably all 25 right now. So, I don't know if you guys have discussed it in your meeting or she
brought it up, right? >> But we haven't had a meeting since you guys brought it up, >> but we have one next week. >> Okay. >> Would one of us want to go chair? >> She's the vice chair of the >> I know, but not other than
>> Oh, you're right. You're not here to be sorry. >> Sorry. Sorry. I mean, I know she can have it added to the agenda, but maybe if one of us is available, we can come and speak during public comment. >> What What day is the meeting? >> Next Wednesday.
>> Fine. >> 7 o'clock. >> I nominate >> I second. >> All those in favor? money. >> They want We're not asking them for any money. >> Nope. >> We just want their expertise instead of
done, you know. >> Yes. And I type of events before and I would like to add it to the record. >> 49. >> I don't know if I brought this up two months ago, but just in case I'll bring it up on for the record. Um, yes, it
will be a town event with cultural affairs, but I would love to be able to invite um, uh, inclusive social club because they, um, the main own, the owner of it, um,
Alex, he is a very famous artist and he gets hired by these huge companies like he does murals for Target, for Freda Baby, like he He is flown everywhere. Like he's out of town again. This like I I invited them to the 25 year and he's
like, "Oh, we're going out of town." They're flying us to Colorado. They fly like the whole family, too. So, just for him to do murals. So, why do I say that is because a couple months ago he did do a an art gallery
um in Kendall and he got 10 special needs artists to come and to do a painting. and Austin was one of them. So Austin went and presented his, you know, art and it was really cool. So I'm not saying it's a collaboration with
him, but I would love to have him maybe be a part of it because that will also help draw in people from outside of Miami Lakes to come and attend and to help spotlight our artists that the ones that we choose. >> So that's an avenue avenue for the artists.
>> Yep. And then it's another like contact that they make and they're like they take pictures. Oh man, I met Alex, you know, from um I say from inclusive social club because that's his, you know, t-shirt brand, but he's actually
Frics 84 or something. Ficks something is his art handle that he's famous for. >> Okay. So, what the art gallery opening consists of, I think I have this, but just in case, we're going to have
inclusive artists paintings already done >> and we're going to display them. >> Correct. >> Okay. Do you remember how many we counted? I forgot already. >> It was 30, like say 30. 30 to be displayed and
then we're going to have an opening night. >> Correct. >> They'll be displayed for the month of of April because I'm thinking of what I'm going to say Wednesday. Uh display in the month of April. We're going to have an
opening night which will consist of the artists being here of course if they can. Um >> refreshments. >> Yep. like >> is anybody else >> lighter nerves >> which will be provided by us.
>> Okay. >> Um no guest speakers no nothing or >> I mean I'm sure I'm hoping that the mayor or any council members that are going to come might you know say a few
words. Um, but you know, I definitely want to have music like no mood music >> uh for the event. And uh >> speaking of
did we build on anything or >> No, >> for for last month about it. >> No, cuz it >> Oh, okay. So, this is still Okay. I was going to ask if we need

>> So, let's say there's 30 spots. Um and we can always add a few easels and add a few more spots for a display. So, do you think we should get 30 artists or get 10 and they each get to
show like three different uh paintings or like what do you think? >> Well, is there a theme that we are going to ask them to paint or it's just whatever they want to paint? I think it should be one because for it to be for
it to be a bigger piece like for a gallery. Well, it's going to be like 8 by10. >> I mean, some of them some of them are going to be small. Others are going to be like I already have one. Okay. >> Which is already upstairs. It's it's displayed. It's by one of the hope for
autism members, a painting that he did a few years ago >> and they framed it and it's displayed upstairs. So, >> for sure we can bring that one down. And that one is big. >> Okay. >> Um I don't even know who >> I think.
Oh, I'm going to tell her. >> So, >> so I don't know. I mean, >> I think you know, how many people we get cuz I think let's say if we get 15 people, then they can each bring two. >> If we get 25, then you know, one.

that we know the event is approved, we can recruit, you know, obviously there's several. And I would like it to be more on the adult side. >> Uh, yeah.
