--------- That's that's I don't know you but this is the roll call. Oh that's you could just do Yeah. What's new with that? I guess I was paying attention. I promise. But I want you to say it again. So really quickly with the roll call it's just we have to mark if if the person is
excused or not excused. So obviously if you guys are going to be absent and it's you know for a reason that would be excused just let the you can send me an email and I'll share it with the chair. So like that when they do roll call at the meeting they know to mark you as excused. If not you know we don't know and it's going to be absent. Um and then
there's also an opportunity for you guys to join online but it's limited to twice a year. So choose wisely. Um but if you are doing it remote it needs just per the rules it needs you need to coordinate with me in advance to make sure that we can do it. And um the the
secretary has to notate whether you were here in person or whether you were here remote. So I haven't do the present at the moment in case anyone. I don't have I didn't coordinate anybody remote. So nobody should be right. But if as far as absent I don't know until the end
because sometimes someone roll and then I was secretary one time and I had to do this and um coming back. I remember like I don't have my [Music] Oh, yeah. Yeah. Sure. It hurt. Okay. Um
I know the only difference is is that I know it's I know it's five absences total, right? Unexcused and excused and you're gone. That's how it is now. Yeah. Well, again, right, not me. The the council passed new rules. Um, and there's a lot of
details as to like when you would be kicked out essentially of the committee. So I really if you haven't looked over the rules some time to do so so you understand. But yes, if you're absent three times back to back, no matter if it's unexcused or excused
and if it's five times five if you're absent five times whether excused or unexcused in a rolling calendar year for the last 12 months, you're going to be kicked out as well. So just please stay on top of your attendance. Cool. All righty. So, are we live? We're
good. All right. So, we can call the meeting to order. It's 5:38. We'll start with the role. So, I guess I'll just go down to list or do you want to do it? I don't want to be honest. I'll do it just so I Yeah, it makes more sense. Yes. Yeah, I think it makes more sense. Makes sense. Present. Carlos Padilla.
Dana Gonzalez. Jessica Medina. Hector Rodriguez. George Alvarez, Jose Mcgalli, present. Manny,
sorry. Matthew, prescri and Ralph. Okay, so we're just going to sync we both on. Nice. Pretty good. Yes. All right. Cool. Thank you for that. We'll
move on to orders of business to defls, additions, deletions. I don't know if anyone has anything extra to kind of add on and throw in there, but now is the time. Give a second look at the agenda.
Can I add just I guess maybe somebody is could give us an update on June. It's usually September. So I'll put it for new business. Um, awesome. Move on to public comments. I
don't see anybody here. It's hiding in the corner. Feels good. We can move on to approval of minutes. So we've got a bunch of minutes here attached. Rob's here, by the way. Okay.
Yep. Yes. Everybody heard. I appreciate it. Let's do another impromptu one like we did. So, we're right now we're on the approval of minutes. So, we're just reviewing the minutes. They're all attached to this agenda packet. So, there's the subcommittee minutes minutes from 3:11.
There's the regular meeting minutes from 4:22. And then the special copy of the minutes from 616. Those are the one that adjusts pass. The 616 minutes. So, just to update everybody real quick while we're on the minutes, the subcommittee meeting minutes and the
regular meeting minutes are kind of old. So, we kind of already have covered all of that stuff. The big thing is from the special call meeting that we had last week, just so everybody's up to date, you can kind of see it there under new business or so the big point of that was to come
up with the budget, right? Um or a item a sub. 4. So, you can see what Carlos suggested that we create or make our marketing budget moving forward. So, we wanted to make it 100,000 to really up our budget. Yeah. So, we voted on it and
it did pass. So, so it's something that we have to, I guess, you know, kind of stick behind and I understand where he's coming from. Um, Danny brought up a good point as well with it that the whole point of what we're doing is to bring in new business to the town, um, from outside of the town, right? And as a
business owner that invests heavily in marketing for his own business, um, uh, Danny and Carlos, they both brought up a point that what you really need is to, you know, invest. you can't just be doing you can have $10,000 and then expect to bring in and really move the needle. Um, so this was their, you know,
this is our opportunity to kind of really, I guess, make a big impact in how we market Miami Lakes, but we'll kind of see what happens when we put that out there. We kind of came to the conclusion that if that doesn't happen and we stick kind of to the budget that we're at the 12K um and we don't have
local intel that we'll kind of just use that in to kind of keep promoting the interim IM lakes events and hopefully try to promote them to outside community as well. So that's kind of the plan B if we don't get that whole 100K. But if we get that, the goal is to do a whole marketing campaign and really push the
businesses of Miami Lakes, use that video and really spread it across, you know, across digital and also banners, just really make use of it. Carlos said that he's going to be working on a business plan for us. We can actually present it to the council because
obviously this is a really big ask. So, it's not something that we can just kind of frivolously be like, 100K, you know, we have to really have it in order of how we're going to spend this and how it's going to work. So that's what Carlos is going to work on and put together for us. Um, but yeah, he's kind of letting everybody know so we're all
on the same page because I see pretty much everybody's here except Carlos. So he's really the only one that that he already knows pretty much everything. So that is the big update from the last meeting. The only other update is that we are going to up the budget of the
boot camp up to 5K. I believe it was it was 2K right now, right? if I'm correct was 2,000 for the seminars. So, we're gonna up that the 5K and um I spoke Well, I guess we'll get to
this, but um but I So, those are the meeting minutes. And just for reference, if I know some of you weren't here for the budget, but I sent all of you a copy of this um last week. So, just you can refer to it. That's pretty much what EDC is proposing for the next fiscal year.
Cool. So, if anybody wants to make a motion, one thing I would just add the dates. Yeah, I was going to say the last page doesn't have a date. Yeah. No, the first one was Oh, yeah. A little hard. 2016. Yeah. Beyond that on the back.
Yeah, that's Yeah, I see 422. Yeah, there's two. Oh, it's on the back. Yeah, the first one isn't labeled with the date and the last one. 311 and 616. There's no date at the top as well. You know, we can just throw that there to make it a little bit easier for the
future. Okay. All right. So, with that little addendum, does anybody want to make them can we just do all three out? Is that good? Can anybody want to Does anybody want to start the motion to sweeping all three A, B, and C minutes?
What's the date of the first phase? 311. 311. Yeah. Yeah. 2025. Somebody that was here for on 311. I can make a motion as chair, right? I feel like I can. Yeah. Yes. All right. Cool. So, I'm going to make the motion with the addendum of adding the date to
the 311 and 616 uh meeting minutes that we approve the three A, B, and C subcommittee meeting minutes of 311, regular meeting minutes of 422, and the special committee minutes of 616. There a second. Yes, second. All in favor?
Awesome. Perfect. Thank you. All right. Now, we can move on to the budget. So, budget review. Again, we talked about this um to an extent last week. So, not really much to go in depth on it. The big thing is that I did speak to
council. So, I went last week, again, it was the day after the budget meeting. I spoke to them. It was after the neighborhood improvement committee gave a lengthy lengthy lengthy report. So, so the council's already a little bit uh
exasperated by the time I got to them. So, my request was pretty quickly approved. Like, they didn't really go into it. I just kind of asked, "Hey, we're doing local intel. You guys go to the ribbon cutting." You know, no one really mentions it. We kind of wanting to get rid of it. I didn't really get to get into the point of that the town
staff somebody wanted to keep it or whatever, but um Josh kind of agreed with us, you know, and the town council there kind of agreed like, "Yeah, I've never heard of that. We don't really think people use it." Goodbye. So, goodbye. Especially when I told them that it was 10K and it was basically our entire marketing budget that um they're
like, "Okay, yeah, for sure." So, I think we're good on that. So, yeah. Question. So the the the mo what you were presenting, you know, based on what we discussed in last meeting is that there's $2,000 left of that budget uh because the intel
end in uh May 1st or June because we're going to renew it for the next year. So we were going to have to pay the first 2,000 this fiscal year, right? So that's not going to happen at all, right? That that 2000 is just going to stay stay from June to September for us to spend
on. Yes. Here's my only point of clarification from you guys. Did you get into the and I can I'll go back and listen to it, but I want to know, did you get to mention to them that the the intent of those $2,500 now that they're free is because you guys are going to
use it for something else? I did not. That's why all I got into was local intel. Cancel it. Yes. All right. So, not a big want to be gone quickly. It's a part of your budget is just understand that for this year it does live under the local Intel line. Obviously, well, it's under marketing, right? Right. Right. Oh, that's what I wanted to
check. Okay, hold on. Let me see. You're right. Okay, perfect. So, if you use that number, I thought it was so good. So, that awesome question back that 2,000 or 2500 is available to us to use for marketing
purposes for marketing purposes up to 930 this year. Yes. Okay. It's available. Okay. Yep. Yep. So, now that means in total our marketing budget is what you see here. So, it's the 4,400, correct? Am I correct on this? Yes. 42.
44. No, the 4422. Okay. Yeah. Cool. Because the under actual that shows 7,500 something. Um, that's that's where that initial local intel, the first part of the year is already chos. Cool. And then the seminars is what Romy's got to play with for the boot
camp. And then the business and networking socials are what we've got left for the business and networking. Cool. So, awesome. So, any questions on the budget or what you guys see there? I think we're in a pretty good spot. I'm
going to suggest something once we get to Matthew business. Yes. Again, I'm sorry to No, at all. You're the numbers guy. I appreciate it. It's it's a bit you know we had you know on last Tuesday we
proposed a budget for next year starting in October 1st. Mhm. So this is what we have for this year's you know through 930. So it's not 2500 it's 44 $22. We were fighting to keep an extra that 2500
like to not go away is basically what it was. So, so the 2500 plus whatever wasn't spent is there equal to this meeting. This is the real number. 2500 was going to come out of this. And in that budget meeting, we talked about moving budget to the seminar for the
boot camp. Yeah. For the next fiscal year. Okay. So, that's for next year. That's for the next. Okay. Not from this year. Not for this one. That's why that was to keep things a little bit simp. But there's 2,000 that is still for that for that boot camp this year. This year. Yes, cuz that hasn't happened yet.
That's the one here. This is the one that right before 9:30. But when's the boot camp? It's in September. In September. We had it planned out for Yeah. Yeah. I just don't know. So, she asked, you know, when we planned this, we have $2,000 to work for this
year's boot camp. Yes. Could we use some of that local income? Not Well, we could use it to market it. Okay. We could use it for the budget like for social media ads and things like that. I remember last time we had to tap into the seminar budget for the ads. But now we can actually just let Romy have that
and then use the marketing budget for what it's, you know, for marketing. So I think we're good. I just want to have that for No, no. Thank you for that. And now that we have that 4K, we can kind of decide what we want to do with that moving forward, you know. So we can obviously use some of it to market the boot camp. And then I know we played
around with the idea of a marketing campaign and then also the idea of doing one more within this fiscal year mainstream live that we sponsored. So that was what we were playing with. Um so I'll let us get to that um when we get to the Well, I guess it's coming right now. So that's it for the budget
review. I think we're good, right? Everybody's pretty understood. Awesome. Because that was driving me nuts. I'm not the best with numbers. So now we're good. So now we go on to old business. So Main Street Live. Okay. So now this is what I was talking about. So now we know where we're at. Now we know we've
got the 4K to kind of mess around with. So do we want to do that extra Main Street live event or the marketing push for Miami Lakes before we kind of go into it. What I personally think based off of our conversation last week with Carlos and what he was talking about with really moving the needle and really making things happen and needing a big
budget. I don't think the 4K even like you know working with the town and doing a social media campaign, I don't really think it's going to do too much based off what he's talking about. Me personally, I think it would be nice to do another Main Street live in this fiscal year like before the the cultural
affairs committee takes it over for the next year and keeps it going. But again, that's my two cents, but I'll I'll open it up to discussion and see what we all want to what everybody thinks. How about you on Main Street? Every time we get we do a Main Street live, we do draw a crowd. You know, I see it. I'm running
in front of them, but it always works out for for me for my type of business. But, um, it brings people. I last time they brought chairs out and they were sitting out and listening and they were there. It brings people to Main Street families. That's what we want and it
brings them there. Okay. So, all of them have worked, you know, they've been great because it draws people and that's what we want. We want people on Main Street around the What you Yeah, the town center. Cool. Cool. What's up, Rob?
The question is if we're I guess we've always talked about us the economic development committee promoting the event but who's putting the event together because somebody has to get the band and
then they have well that was still in coordination with culture I have a good relationship with Felicia and I know she has a lot of different bands ready to go so I can you know I'll just start working that's the question you know are they ready to put an event to because we'll we'll support it and sponsor it.
I'm going to be honest, it would be us working closely probably with the Grams and then we it basically be us at least that's what I'm assuming cuz the way that it worked before with the culture affairs committee from my understanding is that they just kind of picked the band and then they just basically work with the Grams to set it up and actually put the whole thing in order. Is that
correct? So yeah. Yeah. So, what I'm assuming is that what it would be is that instead of the Grams fronting that 3,000 for the band itself and for the stage, it would basically be us providing it to the Grams, per se, and then they'd use that for the stage and for Yeah. for Main Street. Exactly.
You set up a stage. It's just the owner. You guys set up a stage at all. We we pay the company. The company. Yeah. And even if it wouldn't be through them, then I'm sure Andrew would be able to help us get direct connections to them. I mean, Felicia communicated with everyone, all of the vendors. Yeah. So,
Felicia could help me do that. If we need to do it through us, I'm willing to take that on. I could do that. That's not a shouldn't be a problem if it's all in order there. But again, like I said, that's just me. If you guys think it's better to do a whole marketing thing like kind of like what Carl was saying that maybe we do a little campaign push
for the rest of like for the rest of this fiscal year, maybe get an idea of what we could do with that 100K, you know what I mean? that's also an option there too. So I I reached out to Idalis and I reached out to Kisel about coming up with a proposal or something for this. They haven't given me one yet, you know, I know they got a lot going on,
but um but they know about it. It's on their table, you know, so I can reach out to them again and hopefully get them to give me I I style proposal is what I said and I said, "Oh, maybe you can come in here one day and you know, a little PowerPoint and tell us, oh, this is what we do. This is how we do it." You know what I mean? So we could still do that before we make, you know, a final
decision. I think we have another I think by the next meeting we can probably make a decision on what to do and still be okay but I don't think we can really push it beyond that. Um yeah because we have three months. Exactly. Yeah. And so if he's saying that we needed 100,000 for the year. Exactly.
Yeah. Is 4,000 going to be a good example for that and do we want to use that? Exactly. That's what I'm thinking. No, just based off what he said last week of like you know what you really need to make an impact. That's why I'm thinking maybe it's better just to keep it to an intram Miami Lakes thing kind of like what we talked about last week.
That that's why my mind goes there. But um but again, like I said, we can kind of think about it. Um because again, I'm a little bit conflicted myself. That's why I'm a little bit stuck on where to go. Um I just I want to bring this up because I don't want you guys to go out
with an idea and then it's not possible. Um, the only thing I kind of see you guys needing to go to council for is that again you guys have never like the funding for economic development was never intended for you guys to put on an event if that makes any sense. So as
staff we would need direction from council saying yes although you guys are economic development you have the go ahead to use this funding for that. Okay I think that's fine. We wanted to wait for after the summer anyways. So, this would be probably maybe like what is it around Septemberish? Maybe like or not
October. Well, yeah, yeah, it would be like the month before. Maybe a little bit before around the boot camp is what I'm thinking. It would be once summer's over, school's back and stuff like that, right? That's what we agreed because I think we said the summer months were too muggy and rainy and things like that and people are on vacation. That's why we have time. If I need to present it to
council, say, "Hey, we're That's what I'm thinking. Yeah. If if we do the main street live, that's what I'm thinking. peak hurricane season. Yeah, I think it is. It is. But whatever. When when you mention that we we haven't put on an event, you mean this type of event or this type of event, right? Yeah. But
what we would have to be that specific because I mean this is an event the whole purpose is for marketing. So I don't know how I mean I don't know why it would have to be like a totally separate line item for the because you guys when economic
development went with the proposal for next year that wasn't the intended use of the funding that was given us and I we need to be transparent that this is what we supposed to ask that at one point though. Let me go back. I know we talked about this a lot honestly. It seemed like a whole saga. That's why I was like get blocked with everything.
But I know I've gone up to them once for something, but I I know for the EDC with the culture affairs and then you told me but that doesn't necessarily mean us. So I think I went back another time and I was like for the EDC. I'm not sure if I went back a second time. I don't let me
go back to But but haven't we discussed this topic, you know, like two or three times already and even had a subcommittee with cultural affairs and Yeah. And we I get where she's coming from because from that perspective, it's it was from the perspective that we're going to use our marketing line item to
market the event and push it for them while they put it together. Exactly. So that's why I get where she Yeah. This is like a one-off exception. Like you guys would be the organizers of the event that normally falls under the EDC. But let me go back to because I feel like we did have Yeah, you're good. I get it. But I think what Jessica's saying if I
do have to present it to council, I think they would approve it just because of that. like we say, "Hey, we've got this much left. You know, we want to use it to put one last event, market to town. You know, we can kind of make a big bang out of it." Because other than that, the only, you know, the other option that we're kind of debating is a marketing ad. You know,
I can explain it to them. And I I think I know a lot of the councilmen were a big fan of Main Street Live. You know, I know Josh and Brian would go to the different Main Street Lives. I know Alex is a big fan of it. So, I I think it's something they want to keep around. I know Stephen, too, so I think it's something that we can kind of push if we
need it. But um if it involves that that kind of level of approval and everything, then if there is any consensus here in wanting to use it for that, we should probably vote sooner than later because it's going to have a process of then you going and then setting up the event and then like it's
only three months. Yeah, it's a good point. So yeah, I would say you vote on it today. I I mean I'll put I'll put it on the table. I I I would be okay with using those funds um for to put on an event. I don't know how I motion. Cool.
That idea. Okay, I will. Do you did you say a set amount? Serge, what is it? 35 or is it the right? That's the bud. So, I say,00. How much were was the grand spending on on that event? 3,000. 3,000. I say 3,000
and the remainder would be used for marketing the boot camp. The a,00200 we could use for social media campaigns. So, 3,000. Okay. Thank you for letting us. Does everybody want to second that? I'll second. Cool. Daniel, second that.
All right. Cool. So, all in favor, but I'll meet you. Yeah. And if I need to go to the next council meeting, I'll let you know. I'll go again. Dude, they're going to get sick. See me. I'm gonna get the the what I got last time. All right. Get out of here.
That's right. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. So, all right. All righty. Okay. I have to think about to make sure. Um Oh, yeah. That's right. That was one of the thing from the budget discussion that I didn't mention is that we also talked about removing from us from our um responsibility
paying for the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce. So, that's why the budget for the boot camp went up to that 5,000 because part of that it's 2K, right? you guys were going to take that and and add it to there. Yeah. So, that's something too that for the next school year agenda, but I do have I mean, if you
want to add like a 7B old business for the greater Miami chamber because I know you guys had a question for me last time and I do have some info on that. Go for it. Yeah, let's open up. It's always written as chamber X, but it gets confusing with Chamber. Okay. That's why I like to make it always with a
clarification. No, 100%. I went back to uh the Greater Miami Chamber like the start of that and how that came about EDC. There was some confusion from a couple of you as to why it was coming out of EDC and not the town. Um so I went back to minutes and it seems like EDC is the one that actually proposed
bringing on this membership. So it was something that came from this committee. I think as the years have gone by, maybe the people that were involved and we're really taking um advantage of that membership maybe are no longer part of the group and maybe that's where that died out and now it's just we're paying and nobody's using it other than Well, I
know you but you're using it half of the town, not on behalf of this town. Well, and but the only reason the town No, no, of course. That's why we have our no but not just this committee. Of course, you you have the time, but to be
clear, the only membership we have is through the EDC. EDC. So, okay. Um, you know, if the EDC wants to give direction on how to use that, that's something that you guys can do, but just to be very clear, the town should that town should probably take it. So, this was back in 2021. You guys went to council
and asked for you guys actually asked for like a higher tier membership and I don't know what happened. You guys were actually given a lower you I guess council agreed to a lower tier one, which was a trustee. Um, somebody mentioned that they didn't see the benefits online of the Greater Miami Chamber, but I went back and the
benefits actually are listed out. The reason it doesn't match with you guys is because you guys get a $1,000 discount. Like I said last time, we're penalty, but not a but you guys are under the trustee membership, which is $220.
Um, so yeah, I I again, I know you guys removed it for your upcoming fiscal year request. I don't know if that's still the case. Um, I mean, well, that's what we're submitting, but I just wanted you guys to have the feedback as to why that came out of EDC. And it looked like whatever members were a part of it at
that time. Again, we're really involved and we're going to like the events and all that. Um, so if you guys want, I'll send you a link to the Greater Miami where the memberships are listed. You guys are under the trustee and you can see all the benefits that EDC currently has right now. Um, I do have to check
when the membership expires because I feel like if we're already kind of in the loop of next year, then you guys are, but I'll find out. Yeah. I mean, I don't think this hurts too much. Even if we do have, I think, keep it not the worst. We just don't take the most advantage of it. We're being honest. Rudy does though.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I think but I still think that it should be part of the town. No, I agree. I think Miami should be a part of Miami's chamber, you know, which the town takes care. I agree. I just again I I don't think that the town is going to take this over if you guys cancel it because this was an
initiative that came from EDC. Yeah. Okay. When is that um next fiscal year budget discussion again with the council and all that. I remember that's when that business plan ready and I know some people wanted to be there. that we can I'm going to send you guys an email as
to when the committees go to present essentially that uh the request but we really don't know the final number of everything in the town including the committees till September 25th. Okay, which is a few days before they'll start with this. No worries. Yeah, I'm just
wondering when we present I guess because I know that what we're asking for should probably be a few days next month or the following. But let me get you the date and I'll send it to you guys. Appreciate it. One question. if the town doesn't take up the the membership, right? We we don't want it
in our budget, but it's more of like a money thing. You know, the town should pick that up. But if the town decides, no, we don't need it. Now, my question is, should we take it back in EDC, you know, because, you know, given that that
that we benefit, we don't have to everyone back. I just think it depends on a lot of different questions. Like there's a lot of different precursor questions. Like for example, do we get that 100K? You know what I mean? Does because that kind of changes things up a lot too. You know what I mean? Because if we don't, then
it would kind of change things up a little bit because then it would be like, you know, maybe we, you know, if we don't get the 100K, our marketing budget stays 10,000 or whatever, maybe we don't want to, you know, give an extra 2,000 away. You get what I'm saying? That's what I'm saying. you know, or if we have that 100,000 and we can use that on marketing, maybe an
extra 2,000 we can eat into that fund for the EDC, I'm sorry, for the greater chamber is totally fine. You know what I mean? That's why I don't I don't really know to answer that right now. That's why No, but but I I want to have it clear because I think it's oh, they have it, we don't have it. We need it, we don't need it. You know, it's it's just
kind of like up in the air as it okay, what do we want? And if if they take it, well, then okay, they take it and who uses it? But if they don't take it, do we still want to have it? You know, again, you know, there there's some other question, but it's not like, oh,
we don't want it. Boom, it's gone. And then, oh, no membership anymore. Yeah. Oh, but we need that membership. Oh, there's no budget for it. We got to wait another year. So, we do not want to do harm to the town by rejecting, you know, not that we want to have that in our budget because it should be, in our
opinion, in the town's budget, but we don't want the town saying, "Oh, well, there's no money for that and it's done." and then we lose that benefit that is being used because it's not like well it's like local intel who uses it. It's $10,000 wasted. So that was a good
decision to get away with it because nobody benefits from it. But the the uh Greater Miami Chamber, it's being used for the benefit of the town. It's just a matter of on whose budget does it fall.
And he doesn't want to see it in limbo. He doesn't want to see No, I I agree. I just don't know. That's what I want to make sure that it's clear. It's not like we don't want it and it's forgotten and move. Oh, and it's just gone. Yeah. That's why I'm wondering if we can we do like a contingent vote where it's like,
you know, if uh can we vote that if the council votes to get rid of it that we then keep it? That's why, but that it just seems so wonky. That's why I would see like some weird workaround vote. I would say that when you guys go up to make that presentation of what your fiscal next fiscal year budget request
is, you make that point. I honestly don't taking it over because again, this is something that came from EDC. The point was that EDC asked for this. Nobody else is really using it, right? Um, so I wouldn't count on this and this and this information that you're just given now, it's it's it's technically
new to us because nobody knew anything before. But it basically exists for us to take the most advantage of. That's what it's there for. It's for us. So, it's up to us if we think it's worth it. Like, are we using it? That's what I understand from the case of it just
being the EDC. Mhm. Okay. What do we think? You know, it's I mean, I know Rudy uses it and chambers are typically one member things like one guy represents an organization. It is a resource for a lot of businesses, especially like if you export, they'll certify your your uh invoices that it's
a USmade product sometimes. So, there's a lot of stuff that we don't even look at. Like there's a lot of retail but it is a resource. The other thing was they host what is it monthly meeting lunches and some one of our local ones too and some have been here
bring the rest of the rest of the county here to host a meeting in the town. They matter. So I mean there there are some benefits in there though. We just got to get more involved. I didn't know. Yeah. Like every chamber event, right? I'm looking it up just for you guys. These
are the benefits that you could take advantage of. Like this is what you guys are under. Six business promos. [Music] I mean, we could use that the six business promos. We could use that to promote the boot camp and things like that to all the greater chamber members. That's not a bad idea. We just don't use
it. So, unless you commit to doing it, okay? I mean, I'll give you my personal opinion. I like it. I don't think the greater like I I I'm a fan of it. When we did that vote last week, I was a little bummed. But but but I
understood like I'm not I'm gonna do whatever he wants. But we also you also use it again. Yeah, I know. I get it. But I don't need that. That's why I don't need that. You could be taken advantage of. You have to you could be taken advantage of that
time. It's very important. I want to make a point. What's up? that if that budget item falls in our thing then it should be in our agenda every month. So when we work when we work um when we
meet then we can discuss oh there's this activity from the chamber because then we all know you know if we don't know you know like he was saying he didn't know that we are a member we don't know we're a member we don't look we don't we're not interested and all of a sudden the membership is passing by
announcements like the upcoming greater chamber events like we haven't all the events and all the Yeah, I'm down here think about Yeah. Yeah. Here's what I think happens. I think what happens is that
Miami actually covers all the the entire counties. It's not just us except like the Miami Lakes Chamber. So what happens is that you have a lot of events that are not in our town. They're more centralized. They're more in the central areas. So some of us can make it, some
of us cannot make it. We have agenda. We have schedules. I have a very flexible schedule and I could attend many of the events that I have. Also, not all the events are necessarily free. Sometimes for members, instead of saying $85 for a
lunch, say they give it to us for 50, but it is a cost. You may have some extra costs involved. Now, the networking that you do, the things that they do are very great. Now, like we said, you have to be involved. I'm part of three committees. One of them is government affairs and they helped for
instance in the blasting situation when we had to go to different places. They represented us in Tallahassee and they for us which is big when you have the Greater Miami Chamber is one of the oldest chambers in Miami. It's 120 years old. I mean we I love the Miami Chamber.
I love the Rock. But the Greater Miami is the chamber of chambers in Florida and they have a huge voice. So in that sense that's very good and we should take advantage of that. The transportation people were here last yesterday the on last week when we s in
the budget meeting and they knew exactly who to talk to in the transportation committee for the greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and they were the ones that are sponsoring and that's why when we were in the meeting of the chamber Javier Venor was there he's part of the greater Miami Chambers transportation
committee so you see you know it's a lot of it's a lot of things that helps the small businesses helps everybody but especially the small businesses in town. It's very important. Well, in that case, what you're saying also is that it's not even only this committee that benefits from it because for example, as they're
trying to pass certain things or get certain grants or even them, even them, the whole town, aside from putting it on the agenda, like you mentioned, having that those as reminders to make sure that we're utilizing them is also what
we need because we could look at that quickly right now, but we'll forget. Yeah. Um, so I think that that that always has to by the way and with me you would always ask me they have networking events just for they have membership. What is their membership membership? You
want like new members? You want they don't have a plan for that at all. All right. At all at all. All right. So I think it was more of like lack of information among Yeah. the members
because you know again it's 2025 that it was included in 2021 and since 2021 to 2025 there's been turnover in the in this committee so eventually I mean how many people were in here in 2021 might have but I don't even remember
have to do a whole something that David people that we're going to They're not anymore. Debrimo, Eric, Brendon, every everybody else. Oh, you wet. Yeah. No, I get part of that. I get it. I get it.
That's why I mean it just goes back to the original debate though of like, oh, I mean, if all the time gets use of it, does that mean that we still pay for it? You know what I mean? It just goes it's it's it goes back to a lot of different things. That's why. But I think it comes down to what I was saying that when we have our opportunity to talk to the
council, we just kind of have to explain it to them and kind of lay it all out. And if it really comes to the conclusion of they're saying, "Hey, we're just going to really get rid of it. Um, then maybe we just make we can make our we just make like a spot decision there as we're doing it with them." Like that's So right now the request is to remove it
from the from the committee. But I can't change that because we already submitted that. I I change it. If you tell me right now, I can change. So that's why I guess I need that direction from you guys. It's just tough. You don't have Romy or Carlos here. And Romy's the one with the what's
it called? The boot camp budget. But Romy, but not that I'm speaking for Romy, but I know on on the meeting that Romy said, "Oh, do we have that?" Oh, that's great. You know, and then she was kind of like bomb moving it around. Uh, but she was excited that we had that
that membership. That's all I'm, you know, not not speaking for her, but I think that was my impression on on the meeting, you know, if anybody else here. Uh, so that happened. Okay. Yeah, what he's saying is that in order to get it back, we would have to probably take those $2,000 that we gave her back in.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, we have to take it away from Romy or not from Romeo, but you know, that but we get the 10,000 marketing from Exactly. because we don't have the local top to her. So, she'd still have more.
So, so maybe from the local intel from the former local intel budget. Yeah. Then we can take the 2,000 to to go to the chamber if that is, you know, what we need to do in order to keep that membership uh alive. I get it. So, what I'll do is I'll open up the table if
everybody wants to make a motion, right? Because what is telling us is that she has the opportunity to amend that budget that we're sending to the council. Um what we disc what we decided last week. So, if anybody wants to make that motion, I guess to basically keep that line item, the Miami or the the Chamber
Expo line item here, even though that's it's incorrectly labeled, but we keep that line item. Um, and then remove that. What is it? 2000 2020. Yeah. Yeah. We remove that 2020 from the seminars that we moved it to.
Anybody wants to make that motion? I make the motion. Okay. So, my guy is going to make the motion. I'll second. I would like to All right. Ry will second it. You already said what it was. Yeah. So, Rudy will second it. I'll second it. Um, so open it to discussion and then we'll say all in favor.
So that to be clear, I'm doing the math here. It's 2980. Then that brings you to 2980 for seminars from from Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Sorry. Yeah. Here. Jeez. You'll find out when the actual renewal is because that's
another thing date wise. How about if it's in this fiscal year? Yeah, it wouldn't even matter. This whole conversation won't even if it ends up being in this fiscal year then school year too. Yeah, we would have to open it up again. It would be like win the rosie until we finally
was already from September to August. Yeah. But that may expire that expire. I think it might expire. Figure it out. Some me some members are they have a
calendar you know whatever the fiscal year of Well, we have a we have a motion on the table. So if anybody want if this pass this motion passes then it wouldn't matter regardless. So there's a motion on the table and it's to or can you repeat amendment to amend
2020? Yeah. To keep that 2020 and move it away from seminars. Yeah. restated. Okay. So, all in favor? All right. Cool. So, that's definitely more. All right. Cool. So, that's that. I'm up. No, you're good. You're good. No
worries. Um Um So, that would leave again that would leave that seminar with 2,980 [Music] almost $3,000 to be honest. So what? And then when and she has all the marketing or not she we have all the marketing
budget available now just to use for marketing. It's not going to tap into that seminars budget really at all. It should. So it's it's going to still be more. It should be a sizable amount more. So when you go make that request to council, what you guys could also do is just tell them we we would like to see if council I guess
is open to having town pay from this from another budget. We that that's like our first option. If not, then we'll continue to pay for it. I think that that would be the And it's simpler to do it that way versus it's kind of like us dangling it. Yeah. Being like, "Oh, it's not." Which
is weird. Where's paper? Exactly. Yeah. Oh, I mean, whatever. We'll see. I don't know. All right. Cool. So, that's old business. That was us talking about Main Street Live, which went into the budget. That was greater than that.
Yeah. Yes, we did. We didn't. You're just in it over there with the uh with the budget. You're good though. Yep. All right. Cool. So, now we move on to new business because that was B. That was old business B. So, new business APC business boot camp. I know Roy's not
really here right now. So, what I'm going to do is I'm just going to table this for the next one unless anybody here has any updates. My only thing is I want to remind you because you guys said you didn't know when. I have it scheduled for September 10th. September 26th. Okay. So and I went to Bank United. We looked
at the venue. They gave us date options. Getting in and out of there is going to be complicated. I think they cap it at like 75. So I think she was going to bring it back to us to come to the conclusion that it's probably not a viable option for the venue for us. Um and I think
Fridays was a horrible day for them to do it. So it was going to end up we're going to end up having to move it to the middle of the week, which is probably not ideal for us either. Um, but we'll we'll get into it. But I think as of now it's either going to be here or an
Mendes. Those are two viable options, but banking is okay. Take off what we talked about last time. Probably here is a little bit better, right? Yeah, I think so. Basic has good facilities. The issue is not the facilities getting in and out. They make you every every
person that walks in there has to give them their ID and that's going to delay the process people checking in and checking out then they their arrangements maximum 75 people and we've had more than 75 people at other boot camps. So it would limit the number of
people we could have there and then you have to give them the list in advance so there couldn't be any any walk. So, there's a couple of things here that would hinder us from being able to use it ideally for this event.
So, if we're going to do it in council chambers, I need to ask them again, right? No. No. As long as it's available. Oh, okay. Cool. It's the first time I exactly a new event. Oh, once a year.
We're good. Yeah. I'm like cut. So right now I have it as CVD on my calendar because you guys were like back and forth. Oh, I am holding counselor. The rooftops. One thing though real quick amendment I noticed when I was looking at the website it said. Oh, you did. Perfect.
It says TBD. That's why. Are you guys ready to vote to take it to council chambers or you want to wait till next meeting? I think we wait, right? Yeah. So it'll stay as CBD for now. Okay. But I am holding it on on my and even if we have to do it like here on the next
meeting, it's not really that last minute. We already know how it's set up here. I think we'll be fine. Okay. All right. Cool. So, I think we're good there. What's up? We're fine. Okay. Okay. I have the Okay. No worries. No worries. All right. Cool. So, B, the next business networking social, the EDC. So, we've done this before that we
kind of vote preemptively. I know we didn't really choose this, but what I'm proposing here is that we jump in with the BNI and the chamber and jump in on this um business networking social and sponsor that 500. It's tomorrow. Yeah,
that's why. So, it's a little bit kind of quick on the spot. I know we wanted to do something on the west side of town and I work I was talking to to Ray with the chamber and and Tico as well, my dad. We were working on thinking of different things we could do on the west side of town, but it was just hard to find something that was big enough other
than Cancun, which is what we've done many times before, and I know we wanted to change it up. We spoke to Sushi Bones. I think that was they were just a little too small is what I think it was. It was only for 60, but again, we've done it before, so maybe we just do that anyways and we keep it, you know, it's a smaller one because it is the summer
time. Yeah, we didn't reach out to them. And I know I also talked to Ray too about Outback and we didn't reach out to them either cuz I know I don't I've never spoken to the owner there. I don't even know who it is. Outback is very corporate. I know. That's why. That's why. So it takes it's a long process.
Yeah. Fair point. Yeah. But um the manager there make a decision. Okay. Anthony I could make a decision. We don't have it on our website. I don't think you guys sent any. Yeah. That's okay because that's why because we wouldn't because we would just kind of be we're voting on it now. That's why I kind of figured
it's not going to be like a town one until today. So don't worry about it. It was included in the marketing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's because of me. I put it on the fly. Maybe we'll vote. Yes. I put on the flyer. So it doesn't
cost extra. You know, put that in there. So you can put EDC. Yeah. And it makes No, we're all working together still. We're all going to be there for a good chunk of us. Expanded west side is Latin America. Latin America. Yeah. We we worked with him a little bit. It's just it's kind of a struggle because he is
busy every day. So, we usually try to do it on a Tuesday or a Wednesday when they're pretty empty so we can kind of fill in the place. But with him, it was a struggle because he's still every day. He told us like, "Oh, I can have you guys outside like in the corner." And it's like, "Well, I mean, because you know, his restaurant's full." So, he
doesn't need there's no alcohol that sometimes will work. Yeah, that's whatever. Sorry to get us off track. We're talking about the future ones. So for this one today, so I'll make the motion that we the EDC will participate
and put in the $500 um for this June 25th network tomorrow. Dr. Leone, if anybody wants to second, I'll second. Second. Cool. So all in favor? I. Cool. Awesome. So we'll jump in for that one because I know we've still got a good chunk to work with, right? So you'll send me the invoice. Not a lot of time.
Yeah. Not a lot of time. Exactly. So there's 2,000. So this would be Now we'd be at 1,500. And I know the chamber's trying to do one once a month. So that would leave us three months, right? So can we vote to do it July as well so that we Well, I know one thing that we've done before and we can do this just in case the
chamber doesn't do it is that and I I correct me if I'm wrong, but we did this once with Jonathan maybe finagled it that we kind of vote in the past where like let's say it's let's say this June 25th one, let's say it happens it happened yesterday, right? that I would say voting today to cover that we would
cover the expense and then we've done it before like that that's why so we'll do it like that just in case July doesn't actually materialize and then you know we'll vote after the fact and say hey for the EDC to jump in and participate and then we can do it that way and I'm pretty sure most of us would be willing to do it because we like we do have the
budget for three more so all right cool so we're good there oh I actually wrote it there can we vote or better to jump in after the fact wow all right Cool. So, see, Best of Miami. Okay, cool. So, Best of Miami Lakes now is when this happens. June is when we
said that we were going to kick it up again, right? I know the town is still going to manage the voting stuff. What we were going to do was now we have got some marketing dollars and also we were going to use our connections to really push it and really make it a big deal because last time, and I know a lot of
I'm sure some of you experienced this because I did, people coming up to us and asking about it because we're on the EDC and it's labeled as an EDC thing, but then I have no clue. So I don't want that to happen. It's basically so that happen. Yeah. I mean um I I shared the timeline that we were considering for this year and I think I shared um
Andrea's recommendations because what we talked about is you know if you guys are going to be involved then I need the feedback from you guys on whether we're keeping it as is. Are we removing some categories? Are we adding some? Do they need to be changed? Like I need that kind of like now because based on the timeline uh with Romeo of how we're
going to launch it at the boot camp and all that we were going to start the promo in August. So, I'll go through the timeline just as a refresher. U Month of August, start promo for the upcoming contest. Wednesday, August 27th, we would launch the first round. Uh, Friday, September
19th, we would close the first round. Friday, September 26th, so the day of the boot camp, announce the finalists, launch the second round. Um, and with the boot camp, right? With the boot camp, right? Um, Friday, October 17th, we closed that second round, and the week of October 20th, we announced the
winners. And then we said that staff was going to determine the best sale of the week for that announcement. Okay. So I guess what we need to know um like a breakdown of all the categories again so that we can decide if there's anything we want to add. Yeah. Based off what it
sounds like we can we have that we could do this in July because you said August the promo starts. Yeah. We we want to start the promo in August because we're going to launch the round end of August. So what I'm saying is can we come to the next meeting with those categories because I don't think we're going to
have time to figure them out today. Yeah. Because there's lawyers, accountants, marketing people. So what what is going to do for us is she's going to get what it consists of now. She's going to send it out to us. We're going to take it home and that's like our homework for the next meeting. We're going to digest it, see what's going on
there, and then we can kind of come up with some categories and then we come back now in July the next meeting with what all those categories are, you know? So everybody can kind of come in with your own little list or whatever and then we can kind of cross check and see, you know, and say, "Oh, I like how this person has it's so generic. I like how,
you know, we're getting specific when it comes to restaurants or we get specific when it comes to attorneys, whatever we think, you know." Yeah. So, okay, we'll do that. We'll do that because I don't think we're going to have time really to go into all the categories today and really give it the time that it deserves. No, it's nice to have
something in front of us instead of Exactly. Yeah. Now we can actually sit down a couple months to look at it, you know, we can really think about it. All right, cool. So, is that okay? Yeah, I'll send it to you. Awesome. Awesome. And yeah, I think that'll give us enough time. All right, cool. So, now the last um addendum D that um or item D that uh
was was added on the codinary bike tour. Um if I could give an update because I know that's something that typically happens in September and I know last year we had members of the of the business community come up and say, you know, it's not
being promoted. We're a part of it. Are we not a part of I mean there was just a lot of kind of the same thing in the best of emulates of the hohams and there's the bike tours now there's no committees anymore for those right that's 100% the bike the the community bike rides come out of NIC they just
only had one this year okay but this one the culinary bike tour the culinary one we the staff has been handling um however and I will come back to you with more details because I I don't want to say this incorrectly but I have if I remember correctly I don't know that we had funding for that this year so I
don't What timing it is? Oh, I love that. Oh, what's the funding? I really do. What's the money required? I mean, I think this opens up to the possibility of the Main Street live thing again. We do culinary bike tour instead. So, we do like I off the top of
my head, I know we do we pay for like a videographer. We pay for the the bike the what is it? The the cycle party that comes on. like we charge people, but we don't charge people the full amount because it is really expensive, but we think it's, you know, a nice asset to have. It adds to the event. Um, so we
cover a lot of that cost. Do you remember more or less how much that cost? Yeah, I can pull it up. Does the police get involved too? Give me a note and I will forget the police that the budget wasn't there. That's what I want to make sure. But I off the top of
my head, that's what I remember being told. Yeah. They were so the town was so proud of this event. I don't understand why they wouldn't remove the What I'm thinking is maybe we can even do it if it's possible to do it through the chamber or something like that. We like the chamber partners the town or
something. I have no idea. You already vote on the Make Live thing. I just realized that backtrack that would be a little bit of a mission but um but yeah funny I can't tell you about funny right now. So, I'll come back to you guys with that either next
meeting or I'll send you guys an email. That's mainly a neighborhood improvement committee thing, right? I just don't want to step on toes. A collaboration. It used to be a collaboration of committees, but honestly, they were not very on top of it. So, we kind of just took it away. I just don't want to step on any toes and then people get mad at
me. I just remember there was a lot of different businesses that were participating and they felt like it wasn't being promoted enough and they felt like, you know, there was an opportunity small business. Correct. That's why I wanted to bring it up now if there's an opportunity because it is a I mean a function of economic
development for the time if it's bringing people you eat to experience restaurants now for you guys. Yeah. And if it's a matter of funding see maybe we can like I said with like a chamber or something. I know Ray Ray would I'm sure would love
an event like that like that all over it. I can see it. sidewalks with your little whatever. That was a good event. I remember that event. It's always a nice black pizzas. Yeah. Yeah. They gave out. So that's
include we were like the last time they got everybody was full everybody was dead. I don't know. I just did it, but I mean I guess I only did it one time. More and then they're full. Yeah, they were by the time they got to me they were full and they were trying to make it over to
Chelas was that's where the drinks were. But for you know it was good. So we pay a total last year we paid a total of $3,250 for the two bikes only for that. Only for the two bikes. So two bikes in the town cuz police I
believe is covered in the rest of our contract. So we don't get charged individually for that. And then we have we pay for the videographer. Oh, we pay for the st for the Yeah, the signage and the smoke. And I think that's pretty
much it for that. Yeah. So what would be the purpose of of EDC? Just promote it. Even if you raise the cost of the bike, the bike it is expensive though. It sells out in the moment. It does. It doesn't really I don't you could raise
that price and all of a sudden that you know cost per takes it goes down because it sells out right away. We did it September 9th right of 2023. It's 30 bucks per person. No, but last year it went up. But last year went up it is really expensive. So yeah cuz that
3250 covers two bikes which is maybe 24 people. So we can't charge people the amount that No, but people pay it. Charge. People pay it. People like that. That's like $130 per
person. If we were to actually, you know, have them cover the entire charge, right? But if we were charging them 40, charge them 75. I mean, like even if you do that, that cost cuts it significantly. Yeah. I'll find out for you guys cuz I really don't know right now. Yeah. Because the co the cost is is the food that you know the the
restaurants. Do you get paid or not? No, they're it's part of like they're sponsoring so they they get promotion out of it. That's really But there was a time that I thought someone you participated like $200 or something like that. Am I right? Yeah, we did like that was in the very beginning. Actually two
three years ago we were doing that here. So now put you know it's a it's an exchange you know put for participating. Yeah they're sponsoring they're part of the event paying time. Yeah, they paying for and then when we charge uh individuals for participating that's to
cover the cost of putting on the whatever the Oh my god, the production of it. Yeah, the production. Yeah. And the bike and all that. I will point out. I know. Cool. Thank
you. Because this would happen when usually on October. September, I think. What time does it start? I mean, as soon as it gets a little less Well, first of all, I think it rained like that didn't stop you. No, we kept going. Yeah.
October, too. What time does it start? September's a great time for September. Yeah, we've done it in September the last two years. We wrap it up where like what time
later? Yeah. You worked out your calendar. Honestly, maybe even changing the route. I don't know what you think about that so that the order changes cuz maybe you get like better and it's always been the same route, but you know that we Yeah, it all
depends where you want to end, you know, because you want to end in chasing. So many going to the other side is really not option because there's not a lot and also because it gets dangerous when you're taking an entire group, you know, down the road. Um, but I also know
that we started MQTT because they like to be involved and they closed early. So, they're kind of just even extending their hours just to kind of make it part of the event. I know last year or the year before we started including like two restaurants from the other side. What we did is we've had them here at
the start line. Yeah. Yeah. But another thing is that since we start in town hall, everybody leaves their cars there. You kind of have the end where everybody leaves their cars. So that's why chalas also makes sense. Yeah. And you know, we can have a main street
type, you know, coordinated with this event. You know, you have a concert and then there's a lot of room in front of Shella. You know, you can, you know, I'm not saying, you know, to take the stage from Main Street, but you know, there's a big grassy null there in front of
Chelas. Yeah, but you would you would take it if you do it over there. Huh. I think you would take it over there if you do it. Yeah, that'll I think he'll give up his spot for that. Drill the crowd if comes. But yeah, so I guess at our next meeting
we'll have we can we have make sure it's on our agenda so that we don't Yeah, that's what I'm writing down. Okay, next agenda stuff. That's why I was quiet for a while. Um, all right. Cool. So, we're good on the cutting back tour. We all understand where we are. Next week or next month, we'll talk about the finances and see what what it's at,
where it's at, and if we need to jump in. All right, cool. So, I'll move on to announcements. So, June 26th is a ribbon cutting resilience orthopedics. I don't know if you guys got an invite. Did you guys get an invite? No. Okay. I got to tell the new JV. I no longer I no longer

Anybody wants to make a motion for adjournment? [Music] Any seconds? Daniel second. All in favor? I be free. Deep breathe. Ghostly bra us. Part: 2
same while we still eat dinner. I'm hungry. Yes. Yes. No. Actually, we can take it all until 9:00. So, I'll be here. I'll be able to pick it up, buddy. You last time it was close to that. I know, but make sure you get there on
time. Mine actually was not feeling good a few days ago, but uh so I felt bad for her, but nonetheless. Okay. So, um are we good? Yes. All right. Welcome everybody to the monthly public safety meeting. Um calling for order at 700 p.m. Uh welcome to those visiting
online. Um all right, here we go. Roll call. Obviously, I'm here. Nancy Rogers here. Johnny Schwarz. Darwin, I believe, is is it should be he's on his way. Yeah. Uh John Cardo
will be here. Lewis Lopez absent. Yeah. Is that excused? Um yes. Yeah. Oh, he's excused. Things we have to specify. Um you know, I mean, at this point, I feel like almost everything is excused. I mean, the way at least maybe I need to read the the meeting. That's how I Yeah,
but if you put excused, it doesn't count as an answer. So, to clarify, I would put if I'm butting in I'm sorry. No, please. No, they all come to taxes. But the thing is how it goes by what I took it was if you got three excuse but
five all together that's it. You five whether they're excused or not rule for me. Perfect. So yeah, essentially and and we can well to explain just a tad bit further, you have up to five absences whether they're
excused or unexcused, right? So just keep that keep that in mind. Um all right and the last one is Mr. Bea here. Darwin pulled up. Yes, he is. He's here. So essentially what's happening um here on on the roll call so you know Mr. Secretary is that I put AE next to
everybody. Essentially it's an absence excuse. Um so that way um we keep um your talent moving forward and I have that sheet that special side spreadsheet right for and anything you need from us you know to support you in your role please tell us that because I know that being a
secretary it's not an easy job so we do very much appreciate it. Well when I started in January my hair was pitch black hair. Yeah, you look like Amig. So, um, okay. So, basically here, are
there any additions, deletions or deferrals? I'm going to say there is a deferral on my end. We have been talking to uh, well, Darwin has been talking to the fire department related to the cop medic
that is going to be deferred again. I don't know if it's even on here actually. You don't see it. Well, said that again. Oh, actually copy of a medic. In fact, it's not even on here. So, should I have missed it or not? No, you can you can excuse what I just said.
Okay. So, now um All right. Now, so in this case, is there anything else that we need to have on there? [Music] Um uh I'm
going to ask Yes, please. If there's something that perhaps our rep of town can think of something that would be we would possibly want to join in that's coming up. She would know before we would know if there's something coming up. So are we allowed
to ask that? Yeah. Absolutely. To recognize it. I'm asking you to see if there's anything coming up that we might want to consider tonight that we may want to
take part in. Um I believe sent an email earlier this week to you, Carlos, um to do a possible collaboration with um another committee. I can pull up that email with more information. Give me one.
Let me see. Yeah, that's with the mental health task force. Okay. Well, we'll we'll uh we'll see if we have time for that. Okay, perfect. Yeah. Yeah. And then and then at that point um I know that actually that we're we're talking
about this um there's one item that I actually have to add. Uh sorry, Mr. P. Um there is um 8D we need to add on there if hopefully we get to there is elderly affairs
committee uh with uh we need to uh meet with them uh to set up the presentation from the uh citizens crime watch related to text and um and and call scamming. Can you repeat the the reason for the
meeting again? So they they want to set up a an event uh to have uh the citizen crimewatch come in and and have their full presentation on text and phones uh scam because we did it at the bingo event and we could only do it for 15
minutes. That's not enough time. So citizen crime watches a lot more time to present that to them. And I've already talked to Joe. Um he's he's all on board. We just got to make sure that we get with the elderly affairs committee and figure out when that that slide is. Okay. So, this is, if I may, this is
going to be an elderly affairs event. This is going to be an elderly essentially. So, essentially, we're going to be on on that event as well, but it's their event and we're going to be it's ours and
their it's collaborative, but we're asking them to join us or they're asking us. Well, essentially the idea is we would have to and and Nancy, if you want to go ahead and take this for for the elderly affairs next meeting, the whole idea is that we want to get in front of the
elderly affairs and just say, "Okay, what date do you want to go?" It's our idea. Yeah. Our idea. Okay. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Who who's Yeah. Cuz child did approach me says, "We want to do it because they had a good uh you know 15 minutes and they didn't want the whole thing." Okay. All right. So, elderly affairs committee and then you
can put a slash there, Mr. Pena. Just put phone and text scams. Tech Scamp. All right. So, that's um AB. AB. Okay. I want to recognize Darwin. He he's here. So, uh those of you watching on at home
that want to make sure he's here, he als and and uh Darwin, do you have anything to add to the uh to the agenda or defer? Um we could Yeah, I actually do. So, can we add the um the station 64? Um, and we
discussed that. Um, as far as they did get back the captain for the station. Remember I said ultimately it's the captain that's in charge. Basically 98 fire rescue. We want the captain assigned to a station. So he did reach out to me. Um, and he provided us with two dates tentatively obviously to host
the open house you know so which were July 16th and August 18th I believe. July 20. July 26th and August 16th. Yes. Sorry. Both these are Saturdays. Both are Saturdays. So I'd like to make a motion obviously. So So we can discuss
that. Sorry I discussed that please. All right. So you're expanding it to where? Yeah. So if the committee doesn't mind, let's actually move that up under the uh since there's no representative here from the fire rescue, Darwin is somewhat
acting on that capacity. So you know Oh, it's a presentation. Yeah. So essentially, let's just let's just add that part of 6A. Okay. Okay. That way you don't add an item. It just goes straight to the top. That way he can bring it up. Um, so essentially we have a few things to discuss and then he'll
talk about it right away. Darwin Ray what the subject. Yeah. So essentially it's part of a special presentation from MDFR open fires. Yeah. So it's it's part of that presentation. Okay. So now um on to our next um item on on the agenda, the
527 minutes. Okay. I do have a um a comment related to the minutes. The uh advertising campaign was not undocumented on that. The actual what we read upon the value of the ad.
So you see here the um you see how it talks about 7D unless it's somewhere else. Right. Okay. So let's go to the minutes and you go to 7D. I don't see the um the actual price on there for the advertising.
I know I put it uh somewhere. So, it's on there. We talk about locker or lose on 7D, but we don't talk about the Lanny Laker ad. Hold on. I know I put it in there somewhere in here. Hold on. which is kind of interesting because we
need to bring it up anyways tonight. So even though it's not on there, we still need to bring it back up tonight because we had some issues with the advertising. So um unfortunately we have to bring it up tonight. So in other words, I have to check because I know I put the size and how much it was going to be. We had agreed on several of them for total cost
of whatever. I have to check. I thought I put it on here. What's the category? So, so let's let's do this. On 7D, we just need to make a change and the change is for So, it was a motion that was by Carlos. You should check 7F in
the back. Hold on. Let me see. Seven, the first uh item 7F. No, it's not there because you're talking about that's the budget. I'll Yeah. So, this is 7D. So in 7D there should be a Miami
acre ad and the size for that is 116th. Okay, which is $95 an issue. Okay, 95 an issue. Okay, and that is for three issues which
equals 315. So, in other words, um I'm going to defer this to town management. Can we approve the minutes conditional on that change or does it have to come back? What was the total? Sorry. You can improve the minutes with that change, right? Beautiful. That's a list to what the changes are that you're approving.
Perfect. So then Miami Lakes at Miami Laker at 116 size 95 an issue 95 an issue for total for a total 315 which is kind of silly because we're going to bring it up tonight but just to reflect the minutes as uh as they should
we got to be aware from last okay perfect now we move on to public comments so wait wait you have to sorry I make a motion to approve the minutes with that change also We have a second from John Orenz.
All in favor say I. I. Any against? That's beautiful. Okay. So, just to make sure for the record that was CA and JT's not John Travolta. You'll change. Yeah. That's only on Saturday nights.
Okay. All right. Stephen. Okay. Um, any public comments? She's not going to come back with our comments. Nope. No public comments. Okay. And that moves us on to special presentations. Uh committee member Darwin is representing
fire on 6 a.m. Perfect. Okay. So, um as previously mentioned, Captain Del Hall, he reached out to me via email and basically he uh gave me two dates which were both our Saturdays. So, it's July
26 or August 16th. um in the email that he he forwarded to you um his uh not so much of a concern but it was more so hey how do who do I notify at city hall basically to make this happen. So um he
did start the process with our public education department or division which they in turn what they do is they come out obviously you know they could probably have a a truck set up already. Um they even have it where they do demos
where they bring out the you know sets of bunker gear. So let's say if there's kids obviously they could you know they could wear it and try it on stuff like that. So those are the two dates that he gave. Um so I think we
that July I think might be a little bit cutting it too close. So I um August 16th I think probably I know there's there was concerns regarding summer right where so what are the odds of it going through
for July what do you think I think July might be kind of tough right month away yeah literally a month away and the issues yeah go ahead Mr. No, no, no. It's true. It's true. It's not even in we're almost in July. So, right. Next week is technically already your life.
So, yeah. Now, now keep in mind, you know, this is a this is like a really a big accomplishment thanks to to Darwin to make this happen because, you know, as a resident, I've been here for I don't know 30 years plus and obviously Station 64 is very needed. I I I only
saw Station 64 because we went to go give an award there. a lot of talent res haven't seen it and just adore looking at it. So, this is going to be a great opportunity for them to see it. I mean, even besides all the extra stuff you just mentioned, I think people just want to, you know, actually, you know, enjoy the place. The cool thing, if my memory serves me right, cuz I I was at station
one for almost 10 years before I promote it, we used to have this at I remember station one, we would we would call it open houses and yours truly would go to Biggies Bakery and they would donate batalitos, I would go to Publix, you know, they would donate little delies, whatever. And, you know, we always had a pretty good turnout. So it would be the
first time as as as long as I've lived in in the town that we've had this because remember Station 64 prior to that it was a trader by Andy's police supply. I don't know if you guys so that's right then they allocated this this piece of
property. So it would be a first for that station also. So more so reason I think why to host it there. I think August will probably be. So, if we could maybe, you know, vote on kind of solidifying that date. Yes, ma'am. You make that motion. I'll second it. And
I'll tell you why August 16th is better is because people will there will be less people on vacation for the summer because with July, you know, that's how you think that might be out to. Yeah, sure. and and and anything with the fire
and the trucks and the this and that, you know, the kids are going to eat that up. So So I think you got a better shot with a bigger group. Isabelle, do we is there anything planned all August 16 of there's something planned? Um an orchestra event at 7:30, but this is
during the day I imagine, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So there shouldn't be any. So who's I mean the fire folks have a bigger horn than they bring right for America summer strings I'm not exactly sure who's throwing that
together um but that's the cultural affairs and they don't require um any of them or like it's probably cultural affairs but I don't know I think I'll put it in it's probably so they don't it's not like having you're not having right they're
not they're separate or two different, you know, the town usually doesn't want to have two or three at the same time, but this doesn't really take up a lot of the towns. It's something that they do at the church. Yeah. Yeah. No, this is this is going to be in the morning. Yeah. You know, so I mean uh I mean this
is open for discussion if you guys want to talk about it's not it's not a motion yet. Well, technically she made a second, but there's no I haven't made if two if we could accomplish two things, it'd be great. Obviously the date and a time block. Yeah, time block.
That's important. Not too early, not too late. Obviously, it's already second. So, all right. So, let's do this. He made a motion. You seconded it. Okay. Yeah. For the record. Now, it's discussion. Discussion. All right. So, in discussion, so is there
any now when it comes to this? Sure. We can get donations. However, you know, we can also um we have one more meeting before that date. So, we can always find the tune the details. Okay. But what I think is what what's critical right now is that if we if we approve this that
town management put it on the calendar. Okay. Any other any other uh discussion? Johnny looks like he wants to talk. No, he's not. No, like believe it or not, I've been there with my daughter. We went to take donuts
and they gave her a tour. where they got her in a truck but now so she was like loving it so I'm sure that go over there you loved it more and you got the donut and I got a pile of so you got a daughter you got the police
problem you went to but we got yeah we got to put into not the donuts we know Listen up when the school start again 14th right 14th so 14 starts And then that's a Saturday. And then that's
a Saturday. Pretty much it's kids will be back. They have to be back. Okay. All right. Um all in favor. Did we agree on a time? Not yet. Let's Can we So make a motion to discuss the time slot. Can we make the motion
together? We together, but we can vote again. So date and time. Not too early, not too late. 10 to two type of thing. Four hours. That might be more than enough for us. Yeah. But just yeah. Yeah, that's perfect. 10 to two is good because I don't know baseball is in in
full swing by then uh for the kids. We wouldn't know where dads. And the reason I say that they they um you know there's things in the morning that obviously they have to do check out the trucks and whatnot. And now this is probably going to be and that's a great station by the
way because it could be just limited to the bait area. That's one thing that Chief um Haramo did mention to me. She says Darwin obviously due to liability reasons it's got to be done basically in the bay and you know even the trucks
might be outside of the bay or whatever but not not so much inside the station. Now let me ask you a question just out of curiosity you would know this. So there's somebody that back in January wanted to sponsor this event meaning he would bring his table but he would
volunteer better said he would donate like all the food right? Is that is that okay? Yes. Of course. Okay. Because I already have someone lined up. I just just of course. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. So, um so I will contact him. Uh this game Miami Lakes, you know, so it's for
them. It's perfect. You know, this is what he wants to do. Um so, you know, that works, right? And the great thing is that even if it rings, it's inside the bait. That's true. So, perfect. This is which station? Station 64. 54. It's conducive to to this event more
so than one, I would say. And remember what I said that would be the first time that they fold because I won. We used to do this at at least once, twice a year, I remember. Okay. It's been a while. Now, in this case, town management, if uh if the gentleman that is donating for this event, he wants to put his logo, I'm assuming that I would have to get
his logo and give it to you, right? Is that how it works? Right. Okay. And since this is a new event that you all are, you know, collaborate, is it collaboration or is public safety taking ownership? Public safety is taking ownership of it, but it's still it's it it's still we're educating the public, right? So, it's not, you know, it's
under it's under our guidelines. Mhm. No, no, not because of that. Because it's a new event in a way. The open house, you hadn't done this before, right? So, it need to go to the board council for the approval. Okay, hold on a second because wait, I talked about this in January to the
council and part of it was and this was in my report the open house or the with the medic. I remember you discussed of the medic. It was and it was really encompassing. I remember that was part of what they talked to Mikey
that Yeah. So the way the way I presented it to council was was coffee of fire department. This is a coffee event. Okay. Essentially because that's what this gentleman is doing. He's going to be providing the coffee and the pastries. And I again just for the record I apologize that's obviously
buyer jar and call it an open house. Okay. I know I just wanted to be clear on the language. Yes, it's coffee. It would be that. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. A coffee event slash you call it open house but it's a coffee event. It's essential. That's why it's in the morning for advertisement. We'll put something together. So what are the main
um what do you want to like kind of advertise about the event? You mentioned hats for the kids, fire trucks, right? Well public education would take. Let's call it public education. Okay. Right. Yeah. Because here's the thing like at the at the actual car show which is also on our agenda they're going to have all
of that like that I you know I really hope that and I know fire like you said speaking to your colleagues that we we get that supported for the car show. So this is more than anything coffee at the openhouse but it's a coffee event. People are going to be drinking coffee and really just checking out what what
they pay for. Correct. Yeah. So do you want me to include the coffee event along with the term openhouse? Coffee at station 64. All right. And then we would say um it is at 10:00 a.m. to 2 pm um on August 16 um and uh we have a sponsor um
and and um I'll provide that information to to the communication department. So we have a motion on the table. We're going to revote on it. It's it's it's essentially we're going to scratch the vote and now you have the full motion. Do you want to read the motion out loud just to make sure? I have a motion made
by Darwin, second by Nancy, which is um to dis to hold the event coffee at station 64/openhouse on 81625 from 10 to 2 p.m. Let's call it coffee at station 64. Yeah, I'm trying
to think of a word give me a cup. All right. Coffee at station 64. And um we have Joe with the Bros. But see, that's what people remember when you when you give it a a tag like that. Okay, that's what I was trying to
say. So, we have a table. Second. All in favor say I. I. I. Any against? Okay. Um, Deputy Amador, you've been recognized. So, good afternoon. My presentation is not going to be as
long as uh fire. and be very short and sweet and to the point, but fire always. That's a beautiful presentation. Thank you. That we love that we all love. Homicides year to date, we're zero zero. Well, we're super happy with that. Uh
robberies, we had three, we're down two. Auto theft, we had 41, we're at 21. So, we're at half. Wow. Which is huge. Unheard of. Uh commercial burglaries, we had two, we have one. 50%. Um, residential burglaries, we had three.
We're we're at one. Again, what I always say and I keep saying, the problem with having so low numbers is that we can only go up. I don't know how much lower we could get. I mean, we're never going to have zero of anything.
Homicides. We've had years where luckily we we've been at zero. Everything else is practically impossible. The homicides. Yes. And even some of the homicides like the ones with the unfortunate event uh by the Publix were
um were here but they weren't a town res uh res it was a town res. It wasn't really a town involvement except for that. Okay. That guy said we're going to stop here and this is you that we would have had um zero that year too if if that were
hopefully that stays. Thank you sir. Um appreciate all you guys do. I mean, it's funny because we we just did um kind of spur of the moment. We um my family and I went to the farmers market location and you know, we were you know, as we speak for and and part of that was
really just, you know, that attracts people to be town residents. You know, they're coming from different towns to visit our farmers market. And a lot of these people are like, I came to visit the farmers market and I saved here. And what people are probably most attracted to besides our property values is safety. you know, it's so it's it's a
huge deal. Um, this agenda has you guys all over it. Um, different things to be discussed with public safety, uh, new initiatives. The one thing that's not on here that got brought out to me by a neighbor, um, and actually kind of is
part of this as well, what we'll hear me discussing, but the part three, um, there's been kids that have been riding like dirt bikes and ATVs and one kid got really hurt the other day. I know that's not that's a grand property.
Um, however, you know, if if you know the department maybe can just, you know, stroll by every so often just to kind of take a look just as the last thing you need is for a kid to do something really silly and then the grams, you know, unfortunately get tied into it just as, you know, unfortunately it's a bacon a
lot. I don't know if uh any of you all know about par three. the par three essentially is is not ours yet because it's been in a long back and forth with Durham, you know, and Durham at Miami Day County is having all types of issues with the soil and because of that they
haven't been able to give that uh to us yet. But eventually there was a committee that actually I was part of um that voted on accepting that property were certain conditions to make it a passive park um so and parking on 154. Uh but you know until then we don't really have jurisdiction on that. people
are using it for unfortunate circumstances. The person that you spoke with, um, any mention of watch orders with us because that's usually how we get involved. The watch order, listen, we're having this problem. I'll tell him to do it. Yeah, I'll tell him to call it
in. Yeah, he's he's literally I think he's the original owner of that townhouse. He's on the the part of this. So, I'll I'll mention that to him. Yeah, because that's a simple one. You know, we can do watch orders and and go from there. No, we sign we have there's all
types of federal. Okay, perfect. I'll come to them yet. That way it's on the record. [Music] So, so then that case then we're good. Yeah. Beautiful. Thank you so much for that. All right. So, now moving on the
agenda. the uh 305 uh police uh Ford Police magnets I picked up last night at 9:45 and I forgot to bring them. So, I have them in my home. They came out wonderful. I feel super bad that I didn't I I forgot to bring them. I was in a hurry to get here. Better take them off your refrigerator. I know, right?
But they're going to be a wonderful tool for us to to give out in in different events. Um and I I couldn't believe how perfect it is. You know, the logo, everything just looks wonderful. So, I'll make sure to bring that to our next meeting. Okay, moving on to uh lock or lose it campaigns. So, if you if you
look at in your agenda packets, all right, there's this lock it or lose it campaign. Now, here it's obviously blown up. All right, so it's huge, but you got to keep in mind, and I was talking to uh Linda from
the Miami Laker about this, and she brings up a very good point. Okay, now you're probably asking, why is it not on the Miami Laker? Well, the reason why I was in the Miami Lakers because we had the ad set up, but we didn't have it set up in the 116 size. So, in the town
going and modifying the advertisement, we missed the deadline. All right. Now, the good news is it did make it to social media. It is out there. Okay. But what I want to keep and keep you all of because now we have an opportunity if we want to change the advertisement because
we're here now talking about it. I believe Isabella, if I'm correct, is this 116th? It's a business card size, right? Well, this is the size, guys. All right. So, that's pretty small, right? That's going to be that's going to be
the right hand is going to be the size. So, basically, this is the charge. Oh, come on. We got more money than that. Okay. So now if we want to change the mobility now to make it larger, we can. What are the prices when it comes
to large? The prices are here. I'll give them to you. Um now I will say I will state here for the record that and and Nancy would know this because she was the chair for for quite some time. I'm having a hard time remembering
apologize, but I I there was a um there was I ran into the old secretary of the town coincidentally and she says, "Oh, Locker Loo is at 9:00 p.m." That's right. Did locker have 9 p.m. on it before? Yeah, that's what the sign had.
That's the um reminder. Yeah. So, you can do like a routine or 9:00 put reminder in show everybody. Well, because here here's my thing, guys. Right now, the ad does not have 9MI.
Do you want to keep that tradition? Well, that's that's what that flashing sign says on 15.4 is you approach the palmetto. So, people see that. So, we can include the I wouldn't make a big deal about any time because if you're
not locking it at 9:00, you're locking it at another time. I wouldn't put a time. The the whole thing about the 9:00 was like when when promoted it like they used I used to tell people also like look make it a habit like what I do is people go to sleep I'll check book card
make sure that a lot you can do like a 9:00 10:00 whatever work it's not nec but it's not necessary to put a time period for it now what Isabella thank you just handed out was a different sizes okay guys so if you look at the sizes you have 1/8 you have um you have
a quarter page obviously the price changed a you know, when you're doing the different sizes and then you have the price per issue. Um, you know, I know that Mr. Pia mentioned this last time that possibly, you know, you want to do it in multiple issues because you have
more opportunity for exposure that way. However, keep in mind when you do that, you do run a higher price. So, also got the summer coming up and people are going to be away, right? And then also too, not to confuse you all, but there's also another advertisement that I'm that we're going to be discussing on the
agenda this evening that also is is is being going to be pushed in the Miami paper as well. So, if you all want to possibly um you know, looking at the size and Isabella, the
original one that that you all did in communications, is that considered a one-third page? Because I think it's like it almost looks like what you all did originally. Yeah, it's over here. The what we have is like a full gauge. I can actually tell you the specific dimensions, right?
Um 3/4 would be it looks like more narrow depending on this picture, right? So depending on what you all want. Full page would be like this for the Miami Laker, right? Which I almost think is an overkill, right? That's too much. Yeah. But I I do think that but I guess what
I'm trying to look for is the less work for you all because right now the ad itself obviously you guys went I'm sorry you went you spent time making it a business size but if we just use the original one would that fit in the one/3 page we would have to do it to the specific dimensions. Um okay
so the 13 is by 25 right so it would have to be resized to that. Okay. So now if you all just so you guys understand where I'm going um because if you go one/ird of a of a size and you keep it at black and whites is $385. So which is more or less
what we were going to spend originally on the three small ones. Right. So just throwing it out there for the committee to kind of u discuss. Actually technically I have to make a motion and someone has to second it for us to to have discussion. So, what I'm going to motion is a is a
one-third size. Okay. Um, where is it? 13. Yeah, I'm going to go I'm going to make a motion for one third size and black and white uh for one issue. I'll second that.
Okay. So, we have a motion on the table right now. We have uh CA and GR. Okay. Okay, now we're in discussion. Does do we have any discussion about this? Uh if you want to talk about if you agree or disagree by all means you can disagree. Um and if
you all want to discuss a certain date that you want to put it on, perhaps you want to push it to August. You know, it's going to be in one issue for the part of 385 385 in black and white. Okay. Here's the publishing
schedule, right? So the publishing deal. So in that case um keep in mind I'm I'm thinking maybe we do um the only thing is summer is now kids are
out they're out there playing with the cars once school starts. Not that it stops completely but it diminishes. So if we this I think the sooner we can get it in while the kids are still out of school might be more beneficial. All the further of deputy am what's what's your high peak for this he have crime right
now okay till the pass for the better okay said so in that case we we um Mr. They're paying us saying, in other words, to put it out there as soon as possible. Whatever the next one is. Yeah. If we can put it in. Let's just
just to so that we don't uh upset the moneyaker too much. We can push it for the July 18th. 18th. Yeah. Um Okay. Which the deadline is July 3rd. So the motion on the table is for 1/3 page black and white, lock it or lose it. It will it will be out on the July 18th
issue for $385. Any other uh discussion? Hearing none. Do I have an All in favor say I. I. Any against? No. Okay. So, the motion passes. So, now just to make sure for the record, Mr. Pñena 1/3 black and
white uh 385 and this is for the July 18 issue. Yeah. Okay. So, I'd have to have a new contract drafted by Miami Lakers so it can get signed. Okay. And then I'll talk to you guys about resizing. I did print out the flyers if anybody wants to, you
know, pass them out for the campaign. Yes, Nancy. Yeah, Nancy is definitely the best. Okay. Now, uh social media posting. Wait, I wasn't listing. I'm sorry. I've gone the past here or No, no, for for elsewhere. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So, now um the the next just this is just an an information. Um social media posting went out. So, it went it did go out in the Instagram universe. Uh so, that's that's great. It
was a reminder. Uh, so just telling you all that. Yes, sir. I'm sorry. I know that we already passed that one, but is that going to be it is for landscape? Great question. I think the way it's designed, I think it's I think it's vertical.
No. No. I know. But you can do either or depending on where in the page they're going to put it. But my question is, are we going to choose that layout or this lay? I think it's that's the original ad. That's the original. the images in here is when we had to resize it because
the business card wouldn't fit all the information from the original. No, no, I know. But here it tells you that the one third you could do either or. So which one we do doing that one? I like this one because it's much bigger. Look, right. Look at the difference in the the
Yeah, and everything can't even see the No, I know. But just to make sure that that's the one that we want. Oh, I see what you're saying. when we do the contract to let them know that that's the one that we dealing with the people that are going to make this is the vertical vertical. Yeah, please. Who's dealing with the
people that are going to make it? You right. Yeah, we're have one of these. So, you Okay, that's fine. We'll resize it for dimensions. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, perfect. Thank you, Mr. Doris. Okay, the
golf cart uh social media posting. So, how about this? I was in a meeting and someone mentioned it to me. So it it made it made a difference, you know. So a little thing like that can make a difference. Uh people are talking about it. So thank you uh communication
department. The only thing that I do ask is that some of this stuff gets posted a little more timelier. Right. We're um I mentioned it to you Dally said after Fourth of July she plans on putting on the main page um of the schedule, right? So in addition to the stories. Thank you. Okay. The next one I already sent her the support. This is for my
reimbursement for the Yes, I gave it uh to financially processing it. I'll let you know when the check's ready. Good. No problem. All right. Um you all were sent a link. The next one was uh uh it had to go before council to reallocate
our funds. All right. So, the mayor did have some questions that I uh went ahead and answered. Uh so, that allocation now has been made. What that allocation means is essentially we voted on it and now we took money out of the very expensive breakfast to put into educational material and a winner. All right. Um I was going to bring this up
later for the allocation because I saw that the 911 memorial event was on the agenda. So I recommend that you already reallocate things based off of that previous reallocation. I know that sounds weird. That way you're not doing more reallocation. So it's all in one
for the budget officer to fix. So the one that you just did before council, right, from that reallocate to the 911 line item because right now you don't have any money in the 911. Well, yeah. And I thought that we could put all that in in a wear.
Well, remember that you requested that a line item specifically for this event was made. So you have one, but right now it has no funds. So that's why it doesn't show up in your budget report. It was part of the line items that you requested towards the beginning. You thought about in January when I did that, right? aware 911. Well, yeah.
Because because it in January, I made a request for a bunch of stuff and you're like, "Hey, that's too much." So, you went ahead. We took it down to three line items instead of the original like six. Yes. So, so in other words, if that's the case, can can all that just go in a wear or does it do I have because I don't think I requested a 911
line item? Uh, yes, we Yes, I did. Yes, you did. Yes. So, there is one specifically for this event and right now it has no funds. So, for the 911 event, of course, it would come from that line item. Got it. In other words, I need to make a motion now to move money towards that. Okay. Should I just wait for 911? Um on the Yes. I'm just
bringing it up now because we're on budget talk so that you're aware, right? Yeah. Okay. So then All right. So now we have um Yes, sir. No. F uh 7F. Okay. Seven. Uh we're in 7F. Okay. All right. So I'm
very very very happy to report we got official confirmation at 508 or 503 today from the grams that we have. All right. So that is very good news uh because essentially that means that we can use that part
um to kind of keep everybody um you know aware of what happened. Um, essentially when I presented it to the grants about the park and they said, "Well, hold on a second. There's a farmers market." And now the farmers market is very close. So I was like, "Okay." Um, they can join,
you know, I mean, because we're going to have a spot set up for vendors. Um, and they were like, "Yeah, go talk to him and see what what he thinks." The guy ends up being a car guy, so he's fired up about it. So So he's he's going to bring his car, too. Diego's great. So obviously he's doing a very good job
with the departments marketing. Uh so he we have his full support. So now let me present a few things related to the punch. Before you move on, yes, we already you mentioned the location. Do you have an exact address just so I can update the location? Thank you. Yes, the
exact location is um on second. Thank you sir. So glad that we have people like Mr. I got the mic. Okay. So the address is Boom.
I have 15500 New Barn Road. That's it. Okay. Read it again. 155 15500 New Barn Road. Okay. So, it's 15500 Neworn Road. Okay. Now,
now now, now Amador knows why I haven't contacted Oscar yet or anyone else because I was literally waiting for that. Okay. So now say again. Now we can now we can now we can get going. Okay. So now the sponsorship uh package has been provided already. Now before I
forget this is something I put together as you know I'm an accountant. So I love Excel right? So this is something you can pass through this to some of the folks. All right. So essentially this is a preliminary drawing that I I put
together of what I what I feel the layout should be. Now again to to explain to the non Excel people that are going to have their eyes crossed um essentially the orange is the building. All right? So you're looking at the
orange on the very bottom. This is the building and then the parking lot. Um, essentially up here is Bullront. If you're familiar with this area, this is that beautiful park where the where the you know the bridge is
metal walk that stuff. Okay. This is that request at uh communications department asked for a layout of this. Well, the Grams were the ones who requested it, but Right. Okay. So, they already have it. Okay. Yeah. I I gave it to them. I'm going to also send you a PDF version so you have it for your
record. Okay. So now this is where there's some things that need to be ironed out. This is not a perfect science. This is this might change. Okay. Um so whatever we discuss here there's a good possibility it will change. So you if you notice what you have to be concerned here for the
non-car people is the car people. All right. The car people are pretty sensitive about their cars, right? So, I was thinking that the let's call it the display parking spots that police and fire is going to
have. You kind of want them back to back. Okay? Because if people are going to be walking from those uh two areas, uh they you know, they're not going through any show cars. So, I want to say that Amador, you got a um you got a SWAT truck at least confirmed, right?
No, I don't have anything confirmed. No, no, I don't have anything confirmed. I did make contact with um the people I was telling you about that um most likely can bring out that truck and the um the mechanical dog. Okay. So,
that would be a robot. The robot a big that would be a big treat. Now, I'm going to work on getting that now that we have a 100% is not sensitive anymore. Yeah. and getting all the other assets that we normally ask for. So,
helicopter, all the other cars, right? You know, all the things that that we usually get. But I don't have anything comfortable as of right now. So, now so for you, and this is why I said what I said, you and FIRE takes priority. So, whatever assets you can get, you take
you you take priority and then we build around you, right? So, you know, the the whole idea is that kind of area in in the center and then, you know, obviously, you know, anything you need from this committee, you know, to get any of the assets. I mean, obviously you're a lot more
important than we are, but you know, I mean, anything that you need from us, um, you have our full support. Yeah. So, you see, if you look at this, and this is where I wish there was a PowerPoint, and I'm sorry, I didn't preview one. So you have on this side MDSO
on the left and on the right you have MD fire. Now MD fire is is kind of interesting because if you have a fire truck, guess what buddy? It ain't going to be four parking spots. It's going to be more like six or seven. So that's up to your discretion. I mean a fire truck out there would be really cool cuz it's a phone option really, you
know. So um I'll leave that to you and the politics in your department. So Mr. Tor, you've been recognized but I get those. But yeah, right across it says show card. Can if they confirm a
big truck in something else, can we allocate the something else across kind of short? Yeah. The whole idea is and here's what what I was thinking about and if if you remember the sponsorship package which is here in my binder, we're giving the
folks that give us the highest sponsorship prime location. Okay. So, I think those are considered the prime location because they're in front of the displays. Yeah. Closer to the police and they're going to be like, "Oh, park going to be right there in the middle." And not to mention, there's a handicap
spot there, which is spot number 11 and number 12. I went as crazy to do that on the Google Earth to make sure those spots are even white. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, you know, some of the guys that, you know, bring their cars possibly want to be there, you know. So, keep in mind
some of the folks that have told me they want to participate as sponsors. is Miami Dix Auto. This is right up their alley, their, you know, car business. Someone, I don't know if it's it's tentative. Someone in the exotic um, you know, renting space of cars was also
interested as well. Um, so this is what's going on. Now, I'm throwing a lot at you guys at the same time, but something that is also going on right now is that this also is a very big opportunity for Main Street vendors. That's why we that's why we did this as
a committee. We're main street. So the vendors get now an opportunity to showcase their business. The the one thing is that you have to consider that they're very sensitive about what food trucks we bring. All right. And what foods are being brought in because we
don't want to trip up what they sell in. We don't want competition. Exactly. So like one of the things that I said the only thing I really care about for me is pork you know like all these car shows have a really good pork guy like you know you have a pork that did the one for cars for cure you have the pork guys
that do the event for PBA that is down tropical park they're very involved so I think that'll be a great thing for them. Um so this right here is is is is obviously this is this is a dart. So you guys look at this, you can tell us this apart. You guys agree, disagree, you
bring enough ideas. I mean, I don't think it's set on concrete, Isabella. They just I mean, we gave it to the ground. We'll give it to you as well. Obviously, that's for your records. Um, but like I said, here it's an ideal an ideal, right? They were requesting if there's going to be like a stage light.
I was about to ask do a stage area. The what what I thought is, and I'm thinking cost and practicality. Um, again, it's up to this committee what we want to do. I think it might just be cool just to have the DJ
where Here it is. We're set up and then if anybody wants, we're obviously going to talk. We would just pull the microphone out and talk. Good. Done. Right. Right there. Yes, sir. So,
Worst case scenario, it's a little person by you guys. Worst case scenario that get a you mentioned something about obviously parking. So instead of a fire truck, this is something that we just got this literally about a year ago.
It's it's called a bearcat. It's I don't see it. You don't see it. There you go. That's what you take home every day. So, see that? Yeah, that's really cool. You know, you know, it's interesting because I was
thinking the same thing like um and it's it's funny because the Grams were were talking about this when I was meeting with them about this, you know, they were like, "Oh, you know, um kids like to have um you know, the interaction, right? So, if you have your boots and whenever they suit up or something they
break, they're really going to be looked for that, you know, more than anything." So I mean if the fire is situational push and that's just as cool and any any other asset you can bring that would be awesome. The the good thing is that Oscar has a lot of things you can think and yeah,
you guys can figure out we want this, we want that, he can get some things if we're able to get something else, you know, he's he's very flexible on on like if you allow let's say alcohol sales and he's able to get a stage, let's say.
Yeah. You know, possibly. And then you don't have to worry about sponsoring a stage or getting any money for his stage because he'll be able to get it by allowing A, B, and C. Yeah. Right. The the good news is like some of the stuff that the Grams were into because again the Grams are really spearheading this
with their merchants. So like um I know somebody does a lot of events here Miami Lakes that has a trailer for for beer. So then the garrison would sell him the beer and I guess put their logo on or something on his trailer and that would be the beer. So my question is because
of the vendors. So that mean that whatever what's his name again? Oscar Oscar list whatever list he'll provide you you need to get it approved by them first because you don't want competition with their vendors or how did that go?
So the good thing about Oscar is that he already has an agreement with the title managers. Okay. So that's the good news. Um Oscar will be invited to the next meeting. I mean now now it's when all the phone calls are happening you know to get people here in front of us. We should probably get like an RFP for a
DJ. You know, we have to also Now, one of the things that I talked about with the Grams was I contacted a a company that has trailers as bathrooms, which is obviously very nice, you know, whatever. And but the trailer company says, "We have to hook up to water and electricity." So, I asked our grand can
we do that? They said, "We don't have it." So, now you're left with portaotties that we would have to then purchase or sorry, to rent for the event. All right. have an idea how many the thing the thing is and I asked the same question I'm sorry any idea on how
many of we need no they say how much land have you are you occupied we need one so many you got to think then determine how many are okay who's the bathroom expert for the potty expert
well here's the thing so for I asked a question like okay what's happening now because right now you have people that are attending the show, sorry, the farmers market and they go to they go to the hotel. That's where they use the bathroom. And there weren't any portaotties at that I can remember at Carsburg for I don't remember. I don't
remember. What I would suggest is think about it whether it be the Grahams or cultural affairs whoever depending upon um our location where
we're going to be who does events there and how many portaotties and what company. you can get a re a recommendation from another committee that's already had an event and can save you at least some time on who do you hire, what does it cost, give me their
phone number. Yeah, the good news is that I mean online we can figure out a vendor but Felicia will be the perfect person to ask because cultural affairs is so much that Felicia will be the person to go ask you know. So let's ask Felicia you know what what you know what she recommends and then um you know go from there. So now let's go on to a few
other things. Okay. So now um that's the location. This right now like I said this is just an idea. It might change right now. The vendor Yeah. I have another kid. The vendor was
very sweet that did our magnets and she took it on her own time to kind of design this flyer. This is just again another idea of the flyer. just an idea for us to kind of chew on, you know, and you know, so we can have an idea because
guess what? We need to start pushing this to communications so that they can have an idea of what the design and she'll probably vote on it by next meeting. All right, so obviously the details here she poor thing she didn't know all the details, you know, because the time is still 10. You know, there's
obviously a different sponsorship package that we have. Uh but you know let's discuss ideas so that Isabella can take this back to um to the communication so they can start designing something. So like you know um actually I want to actually talk to Amador. What do what do you think
Amador? Should we put like your your badge? Should we put something else? I mean I like this part of it but it'll definitely add something else. Yeah. Know this is going to have a lot more stuff. This is just like this is just like you know us to digest this and we can say oh we're missing this. you're
missing that, you know, you know, do you think we could have a deadline on depending on the amount of sponsors that they could get their logos or on so on, you know, have it whatever some sponsor and this is your deadline if you
want to sponsor the event and as part of it. It's going to be on the on the because this is I'm assuming it's going to go on our social media at some point. Yeah. And by the way, this is a great start and thank you again VA customs for putting this together, but they're going to, you know, more than likely they might take this and yeah, right. Yeah.
So, well, depending on that. Yes. Thank you, Nancy. That or I guess because I know there was three or four tiers. So, maybe for lack of a better word, the two and three or three definitely should go in my opinion. That's the one that's paying the most. Whatever the highest
tier, that's what I meant. How does When you have a flyer that goes out, Isabella, would you be the contact for sponsorship? Uh, yes. I would also I'm going to be working with her on this. Okay. Please forward everything to me. All right. So, you can say please contact. Mhm. And by
the way, this is not this is not a motion because we're just going to as a package. This is like an update. So, please contact and you can put your slabella, you know, by usually. What do you give the deadline for sponsors? two months in advance, I would say. So, I can give you
a better idea next meeting. Um, number extension. Well, they're going to put all that in. But my my biggest thing is that I see your writing. I thought that's Yeah. Yeah. So, by let's just say uh well, in this case, August because if
it's next meeting, no, July 31st, we need to have it like up and ready. Well, August, August 15, that's fine. August 15. And then we can put email, phone number to to NY's point. All right. Now,
what else are we missing? It says $25 per car registration. That's scratched off now. We don't I don't even know what it's going to be. I forgot stuff. We got to look at it. Is there going to be Yes. For that money, is it going to be to pay for the event or are we going to go back to Yes.
Yes. Giving it to some sort of the the whole thing is that we need to also figure out an idea we had was whatever the cost was whatever we get in addition we're going to split it between TVA is going to give it to any law enforcement officers that obviously families that have lost their
loved one in service does does fire have a a union as well. All right. So we have to also figure out how we can put that on the accident. All right. Yeah. Because even to the person, noba talked about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And the biggest thing is too, by the
way, um Isabella, can you have can you earmark the sales of the merchants to go to that too or no? Because I've seen that in bet sometimes that every like farmers market had Memorial Day. Every 10% of the sale went to a foundation for for you know a lost one. Okay. Can you
do the same thing for this event? Yeah, I can ask about that. I don't know how the system is set up, but yeah. Okay. Okay. So that you can say something to the effect that you know proceeds uh will go uh to families
of fallen police officers and firefighters. Fallen police officers proceeds or portion of the proceeds because you're going to have for other things with any of that. Yeah. Proceeds. Portion of the pro. Yeah. Portion
portion of portion of proceeds. Sounds like they're going to get the whole thing, right? Um, it's got a question. Yes. Kind of off topic a little bit. Did we decide if there's going to be any prizes for any of these cars? Anybody named first overall or something? I'm happy. I don't I don't remember. Yeah, I'm happy
to report and it's very sweet of them, but Vita Customs has has agreed to sponsor uh prizes. All right. Va Customs. So, this the Va, they're the same folks that did our magnets and did the challenge coins for us. They've
agreed to do the um the plaques or sorry the tro the trophies as you would and there's going to be three one one overall winner or um it's funny because all that cost Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I thought three. Just one, two, and three.
But I hear that that might not be enough, you know. So, you might want And what's going to be the criteria to judge? And who's going to be the judge? Well, not that you have different categories. And then let's say the Cadillac category
category over the so let's okay so let's let's go over here prize let's but let's think about a phrase guys what can we put on the on the flyer prizes to best a show best a show prize oh you're going to do first second and
third no I don't want to put too much on the ad this is just at you're bringing up a point we have got best work but for the app I would do overall because if not you're going to have 50 million trophies for each category. No, so maybe we don't put anything on the on the flyer or or overall uh contest winner or
something if you want to I only do that go back to how you're going to choose. Are you going to have uh votes people in the crowd the vote for vehicles? Who's going to decide? And then that'll also help you how you word it. Okay. I would
do like a best and show just one trophy. Yeah. just one one trophy because if not you're going to have 50 million cal categories and then a one to three for each. Well, again, not too complicated. Keep the meeting going. We'll just say best and show prizes. Okay. As like a little, you know, you could do first, second, and third. Best in show or right
now best and show prizes. Yeah, something like that. Okay. Family fun. I like that she did that. Live DJ, local vendors. Now here I think local vendors and Main Street vendors. You can put local
and main vendors. Yeah, Main Street merchants. Merchants. Main Street merchants. Okay. And now probably Isabella to help you. I'll send this to you in email. Great. Yeah. That should drive you crazy. Food trucks free event. Okay. Now, uh this is 10 p.m. obviously
here. Okay. What is the um the address needs to change to the exact address you know 155 Newborn Road Newborn Road. Okay. Now um how can we say something along the words
that you know um to parts of our heroes pay tribute to your your first responders. Yeah. Okay. That's perfect. Local local local first responder. A pay tribute to to local first responders
respond. Yeah. I love it. Well, you could put town of Miami first responder. Yeah. Yeah. First uh Yeah. But all your all all your What else we got? All right. So, this is all for this is this
is all for this is all for the communications to put us all in a beautiful flyer and present to us next next meet. Anything else, boys and girls? We're not solidified yet on on on the entrance fee, right? We're not That's a very good point. And the reason I say
that is we did finalize. It's your right. Yeah. Because we tried to keep it like kind of on the cheap side so people would I think I think I think 25. I think we did 25. Okay. Because they will see the auto.
No. Was it was it 25 or vendors? No, we I think we we said vendors. I remember saying vendor was not going to be that they're going to make their money back. It was vendor. It was vendors that we
talked about. Yeah, those vendors. Yeah, vendors. So, yeah, because we had to keep it. Where I was going with this is I don't know. I mean I don't have whatever but if I'm a first responder like that have my beautiful and then I
was going to say we could wave that for first wave that be but no but let's say with with the benefits yeah it's here somewhere guys I mean how about this oh here we go here's a sponsorship the different strategies here it is it's it's uh 700 350 and 100
right those are the different sponsorship packages which is the already has that and then the vendors uh what we call it the entrance bring it up. I don't see it here. No, cuz we spoke about vendors. We were going to keep the food trucks or
vendors at 25 so they have a chance to make their money or 20 25. I don't remember which one. Well, what we did end up doing is that we we said for the vendors. Ah, you're right. So, it was $50. $50. Yeah. Yeah. $50 for the vendors. But that is not the car shows
cost, right? I don't think we came up with the particular car show cars. sometimes, you know, the one that we went to in Miami Springs was was free, right? You know, but if you want to get money for these guys, I I mean, I say let's considering it's the first year, let's I think yeah, like basic, you
know, and that helps the fund because how are you going to fund I think you should charge $50 for the vendors and you said 700 350 and 100 for the uh sponsor
backing. Yeah, sponsor packing. And now you're discussing the cars. I think they should pay something. Otherwise, just any joke blow is going to show up. Okay. You know, you got to So the price of the vendor 25.
Listen, if you're a car person, $25 for the cars. They love showing out the car. So in other words, after all of that, the $25 today is Yes. Okay. All right. So then I want to make sure I keep this meeting in order. So in other words, we got a lot of stuff here
discussed. What I'm going to do now after the meeting, not now, tomorrow, maybe after that, I will send to Isabella all these details. Now, as we start going through this um we will need obviously we got to get
together. Somebody has talked to the cars here people. I know that's the biggest clientele that most of those people are tell the ones that go to that that show. Yeah. Yeah. Sergio Diaz I
talked to um about it and you know a lot of the guys that attend that show already know about this show. Yeah. They already know what I have have their numbers and and they're ready to go. I even have a car show folks that do really nice cars down south that are are willing to attend. I think our biggest problems are going to be getting come
out. is going to be the amount of people that are going to want to come out. Yeah, I think that's going to be so we we cin the cabin and how many cards that's the thing. I don't know because I need to they take presidents fire and and and and police takes. So once they I get a confirmation of what's going to
what assets are going to come then you kind of go from there. That's really what what it boils down to. The vendors are going to be a little tricky too like the food trucks is going to be tricky. So we got to make sure that you know Oscar Oscar for sure calls. I was just waiting for this to kind of circle through so we can get
them on board. Okay. So now, just you all know for the record, we're supposed to go back to town council and tell them what the cost of the event is going to be. Now, the way I' I've identified this is that we have a lot of money left
over. And guess what? That money is not even going to be used by the event, right? Or better said, it will be used by the event through the end of the fiscal year. like anything that we have to buy for the event, like any educational material we're going to give out, anything else that we can handle
for the event, we can, you know, that gives us to the end of the fiscal year. But then the next fiscal year comes around and if our budget gets approved, essentially those funds are secure for the event. That's not counting sponsorship. So, I'm extremely comfortable that it's not going to cost the town anything more than what our
budget is already. That's me personally. So, what I'm saying is that I will we will probably have to go back to council by August. You're scheduled to report in August. August. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. So, they will have an answer by August. All right. But at this point, I guess my
question to you, Miss Isabella, can we put that on the calendar now for August, October 11th? It's been on the calendar. Okay. Yeah. Remember, they they put it on the calendar with a condition that when we born in August, it'll buy proof day. It's all taken care. Excellent.
Okay. Okay, so that's my update. Sorry. Well, good for you, sir. I mean, there's a lot of here. What I need from you all is please ideas if you know people. I know you already bought a DJ. Well, I'm going to bring it back for No, no, no. We'll do an RT. We'll just send that to him. Okay. Yeah, there's a few DJs like that. You know, it's funny because I was
introduced to a DJ yesterday that is the DJ from the Marvin. I don't know how much charge, you know. I mean, I have no idea. We have to figure that out, too. You don't. You don't want a live a live live entertainment cuz cars pre the cures had that country singer and I don't know if he charges or Yeah. Yeah.
That's the problem. I don't know. I mean the key thing is the right music and I like and I told the Grams I said look we're not going to be paying crazy loud music because you have the metal box right there. So that's the one thing that we have to keep in mind. So um before I'm sorry before I leave this topic let's make sure they're going to
give us a hold list. We have to get insurance for this event which I know Nancy brought up before. So, we have to buy insurance for the hold harmless. Um, and um, I'm assuming they're going to come back with some other requirements, I think. How how does the alcohol work? Is that included in the whole harmless?
Um, I'm assuming it is. If not, we'll ask a question. They already know. We already talk about alcohol. And for the record, there's there's events that the town does that they're alcohol already. Okay. So, again, this is a night event, you know. I mean, and I saw a very successful event, Mighty Springs. We just want to have our own event. And by
the way, thankfully, thanks to Vita Customs again, we confirmed that the tropical park parade to hometown heroes is the following weekend. So that's October 19th, the following. So we we missed that one. So we're fine. Okay,
that's a lot for this car show. I don't think guys that we need a subcommittee for this, but if someone feels that we need a subcommittee just to plan this, as we get closer, we can create one and meet at a different date. uh please keep it up. Okay. Now, uh the
next item, I need someone to champion to give me a print out of the PC website and identify what needs to be changed. And I'll tell you why. Because you have the dete which is working on the uh
notifications that are going to go on to the step of tax and districts and we're going to be quoted on aboutification what we do for the town, how we can help out different initiatives. So, someone needs to take the time of going through a website and scratching off. I'm not saying do computer code, but someone
actually comes in and says, "Okay, guys, this is my ideas. I just need you to answer your excuse." I know, you know. Maybe it's good to keep that computer as connected. I already had an idea, but if you want to print it out. Okay. So, you don't
Okay. So, then you're you're the champion. I'm the champion. Okay. I found I found something small, but Okay. If you want to print it out, he's the champion. I was going to present it right now, but if you want to print it out, okay, let's print it out and bring it next meeting so we can put it in here as an item. Okay. To the meeting and
then we go to Okay. I didn't know you wanted to. I was going to present it right now, but let's do it. Print it out so that we can at least say because that way when you say it, then we can say, "Oh, hold on. That needs to change. That needs to change." Whatever. Okay. So, thank you, sir. Appreciate your support. All right. Now, we're on to item 8A.
Okay. 8A. Can a team go together? If the committee doesn't mind, I would like to present them together. Okay. Now, I met with the grand company about the
um the car show and the meeting was in spirit to an issue that the grant company is having right now. right now. Uh, Major Gonzo spoke about this during the uh, last uh,
council meeting, right? Essentially, they're having um, you know, I wouldn't say a little bit of trouble with some of the folks in M Street. Okay. Um, and and what I've done, you know, with them is kind of sit down like so they they
essentially have agreed to to sponsor a an advantage with um some summer safety tips that we've come up with. And this is something that I kind of, you know, kind of went together did some
research on and uh even talked to Clarence about it, you know, about as well because, you know, um when it comes to Main Street, Main Street has a curfew and their curfew is 8 p.m. You need to
have your juvenile and uh you need to have a uh a a guardian or someone above the age of 18 I want to say or some sort of parent for someone that's below 18 by 18
that is a curfew that they have as a private organization but every county has a different one much I think it's mainly mainstream. Okay. So,
you know, I know again this is just interject. Yes, please. Please do. Please do. We used to have a lucative where the main guy could come in a tour for a few bam bam bam. The problem was
that by that time all the problems were already here. So part of why the curfew started getting more stringent and everything was talked about and everything was done the way it's been done now which is actually working very well on the barricades and
stuff like that is to make sure it doesn't get to that we're trying to mitigate it off and that's why the the the grants have been great because yeah like whatever you guys need you know everything but that used to be done and it can be done again
It is being done in a way, but I want to say it because that's not that's not the fix all because that was talked about before, right? That oh yeah, we're going to start we're going to do the a night thing and we're going to get rid of all problems. The problem
was started. Yeah. Yeah. Because I remember a while back it was issued I1 a bunch of kids going crazy. So then that's why we started moving it. Then they decided by 8:00 have a curfew to
completely eliminate that and not have all those kids come crazy to 12:00 just and luckily since it's all private it can't be done right. You can close off the street wherever they want. They can tell people you can't be here for the grand private
right. So it's you got to go you you got to go to the sidewalk where it's public. want to linger on the sidewalk, but by that time there's nothing for them to do in the sidewalk accept. Right. So the whole idea of this is you know keep in mind and and you know I thank
Claire so for you know taking the time to speak to me about this before I present this to to the committee is that you have different private organizations that have different rules you know so you have role of father might have their own set of rules of main street. So, if
you notice this box that I'm saying here is very general. Miami date county and private businesses have curfews in place for Zuma. Please check with locations being visited for their requirements. The whole idea is they're trying to put this out so that people kind of say, "Well, hold on a second. I'm dropping
off my kid, you know, can I drop them off at this time? Is that is that okay? Do I need to come pick them up at what time?" So that's one box. The other box is trespassing.
Trespassing. We're having an issue in where I live. We're having an issue with trespassing. There's a kids are fishing in our backyard on the lake. And what's crazy is the kids are even from I had a neighbor stop a kid the other day.
He was from D. Have no idea how you know. I guess he has a family member, a friend here. and they're not really respectful because they eat hooks on the beach and my kids want to play on the beach and then there's a problem. So I made a general statement and again you know what what
I'm saying is not on stone this is this is for discussion businesses and residential properties are private properties and trespassing can have varying penalties. I want to stop there for a second. Amidor, the the trespassing is is kind of tricky from what I read, right? The laws like it
depends if it's a nuisance, if it's not, or if it's private property and the owner doesn't walk up there, they have to go. Okay. Well, my question is on the lake where your property ends, how you
come from all all the way in the water. Okay. So, yeah. So that and that and and that is now keep in mind what I'm trying to do here is that I'm trying to also tackle something in the record that is the things that ditch stuff that's going on as well. That's part of problem.
You're going into somebody's house and knocking on the door like you're breaking in. That's private problem. You shouldn't be there. It is once it cross the sidewalk not in private property at all. But some places like once this finish if there's a lake right there
that's part of the property. So you have no say. So that's why you need to identify if yours go all the way in because it's all the way in then. Yeah. But let's say the company let know because your property technically finished here. So this is public. So that's a different story. Yeah. So the
the whole idea is and it's funny. I lived in two houses. One a townhouse, one a house. One was a townhouse and one a house. Sorry. Both of them were on the lake and both of them my property went to the water in the water. Are there signs posted private property? That's another thing. You can't you can't have
a sign no trespassing. That's totally legal. Um and that's something you can do. But the whole idea with this box is that you know we're trying to inform people that you know please keep in mind and make sure to inform friends and family visiting our towns are the same
because people are just they're just doing whatever the hell they want because remember a lot of people that come here let's say for example back here from David maybe in David is different you know. Oh yeah, it's that same situation. The house finished here.
So this I can actually be standing here and do that, but they're not aware that nobody here is different. My property go all the way to where you are right now. Right. So it's a, you know, education. So this is good. So that way people that live here be like, "Oh, wait a minute."
Right. Coming in, I don't care. I don't want to see you across the street. If you want to go fishing, there's a lake over there or river right there by 170. Go have fun there. Yeah. Do not go into any backyards.
Now, listen. The So, now the third one they mentioned is, and the reason why they brought this up, and I was like, "Oh, this is perfect because this hits home for me." I saw this happen the other day is individuals riding bikes, electric scooters, mopeds that are not
worthless and they are on but right so they're concerned especially in main street they have their own issue right because you have these big curbs those guys hit one of those curves when they're flying those ebikes they're going to land in 100 m when they hit it by quarter 57 so
and I've seen it I've seen kids in my neighborhood doing be popping a wheelie and stuff like that, which is all good and fun, but some of you get really hurt. I've seen kids on 154 on the street, not wearing houses, blocking cars when we're making a left from Miami
liquid north to4, right? I've seen that as well. So, I'm going to go back now to Aador again. If I read this correctly, you all rely on the Florida statue, right? When it comes to helix, right? Florida statute. And then that is all it seems like it's
all-encompassing all 16 years and younger when it comes to ebikes bikes. 16 years and younger multi. Uhhuh. All right. So essentially the idea is that the the state was was pretty good in
this because they they pretty much it's unilateral when it comes to all this stuff. And they even talk about ebikes because ebikes now becoming very popular that they added is recently that anything with wheel anything that that you are on wheel is
basically. So so in that case now here that little link that you see there that is to Miami date county it's a website that's bike safe doesn't talk about all the other stuff. Okay I just mentioned ebikes is bike safe wearing a helmet for the kids and being safe. I thought it
was wonderful. I mean, I can send you all the link so you can see it. Um, you know, and and essentially the whole idea is that, you know, we're informing folks that there is rules in place because or laws in place. They're laws. They're not follow. And then the last one was
something that was discussed during our last meeting by the fire department was uh water safety. Um, essentially what we're saying here is uh supervise children enjoying our lakes and pools at all times. Teach your child how to swim as young as 2 years of age. for more information visit splash. So that link
is also Miami Beach County. It's actually tagged into the fire department. They're kind of part of the hyperlink and it talks about safety per for for water and kids. And then people reject the Yes, sir. Happy to say that the neighborhood improvement committee
went back to the town and they approved uh funding for eight or nine. Do you remember eight or nine leg rings? Yeah. So they have like 22 legs in the town. So they for good amount for for now and they're
going to start working on on getting them out putting the money and then funding for the rest. Good. That's great news. So that that's where I had to call Brian from US activities task force because this kind of you're we're kind
of trending on his his uh you know uh bike rodeo and safety which happened in September. So if you notice we're we're throwing him a bone here their committee at the very bottom task force will have their bike rodeo and safety day in September 2014.
So that doesn't we don't they don't have a date yet on the event calendar but and then obviously we're throwing tribute to um our friends for 3054 police at the very bottom of the ad. So now I mean essentially that's what I did. Um you know essentially this this to me is is
and and really I'm actually speaking out of terms. I'm not following Robert rules here because I should have a motion on the table and a second to have this discussion. So, I'm making a motion that we accept this this partnership with the grand companies subject to changes from
this committee. Okay. Um, and do I have a second? I'll second. Now, you have a discussion? Yes. I'm going to vote for anything until I learn how to spell. That's me, but I can't. There you go.
Okay. So, um All right. So, let the record reflect that I can't spell. My wife would agree with you, Nancy. All right. So, we have CA and a second from Mr. uh Darwin. Okay. So, now that we put this together
on on the table, uh let's I kind of said my spiel, questions, comments, concerns. Where is this going to be? Okay, so the whole idea of this is Great question. The whole idea is that this is going, by
the way, this is just me designing this, okay? By any means. Thank Thankfully, I'm not a designer, so you definitely would fire me on the first day of work. This is going to be given to uh the communications department, and they're going to make it look pretty. The idea is this will more than likely be a full page out of the
Miami Laker, right? This will be on social media, and even the Miami Laker will be printing this and giving it to all their merchants. any commercial company is going to have this in their story front and then if we want to give it up to our
neighbors we can as well. So basically the motion is to approve to join with the RAM companies on the summer safety tips flyer brochure. Well I I think summer safety tips is a good thing. Summer safety tips period. Yeah.
Unless you guys I get it. Yeah. What do you guys think? Unless you want to say summer no hardunciation. summer paintings. This is good stuff. Don't don't over complicate it. And just for the record, I have a snake.
We always partner up with uh the youth activity task force on bike roy. We usually have our table and our spanner. Yeah. Yeah. Volunteer with them. And can this be put like stuff? They can also send out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're saying to put
it where? Sorry. as a digital format, a PDF or something that you can provide us and then we can No, no. This is this is going to be the idea is that and here's where it gets tricky and this is where I kind of I'm going to hopefully talk to the communications department. They are
holding off on their deadline for us to do this because right now we passed the deadline. So the due date is June 20th. They're leaving it open for for us to turn around as a town and give them this artwork.
So the whole is going to put America across. Yeah. Because the whole idea is they want the Grams want to the Grams want to put this on the July 4th issue. July because their concern is like summer's going to be over if you wait for the
next issue July 16th. That's true. Should I put summer safety tips campaign or just leave it at summer safety tips? Summer safety campaign is perfect. No, no. Summer safety tips
and ignoring people in every campaign. All right. So, we're on discussion. So uh does anybody deputy one thing that I was saying was about business regulator properties that if if there's any questions about any of
this and how how it can vary right the trespassing part just to refer to us like any of you guys just refer to us that way we can deal with directly and we can advise of all the legalities and
stuff. I you right now you're here too. Yeah. Yeah. They don't want to. That's why I was telling him though because Yeah. They're gonna be like, "No." So that's the best way for you guys to be like, "No, they're right. You you are private property. You need to Right. Right. But let us deal with it." Yeah.
Yeah. So then u 3054 police or actually no. Is it the station? Yeah. Contact the town of Maggie Lake Police Department or any What's the station number again? 305 827
40 Yeah. 827 40 50 40 2020 details asking questions. Um should we say sheriff's office division um municipal district MLMD
municipal district. Wow, you guys really making me more md. I mean, I was putting this on my shirt, so I Okay, sir. No, I was repeating my Okay, so we have besides my my bad
spelling and the um what you just mentioned right now, um any any other comments? You guys can tell me anything else. No, no. I mean, try not to miss the spelling though, right? Okay, good. All right. Um, all in favor say I.
I. I. Not a against out. Thank you. This right here, let the record show brand company. Thank you. This is a great opportunity for us to partner. I look forward to these partnerships in the future. This is going to be a great one. Um, you know, uh, so I owe I owe quite a
few things. Okay. Um, not it's a battle. It's about I this stuff and this, right? But I was on this one. This is where you confuse me. Oh, I I'm gonna work with her on sponsorship, but yeah, I contact her for Yeah. Yeah. I was just saying general said yes, right? Say hilarious.
Okay. All right, guys. Really quickly, um so the the the 911 memorial event. This is your actually this is your answer. You're the one that brought it up to me. What? The 911 memorial event. Yes.
Memorial event. Yes. I don't remember a thing. I'm sorry. Okay. It's on the record now. Okay. to Okay, let's go ahead. When does 911 fall this year? Because we have a few things we got to get together on. 911 falls this year. 911.
Yeah. You want to laugh or you remember? You want to laugh? Somebody actually ask me that question. And let's just say he's a pretty. Okay. So, they meant what day is it? Yeah. Yeah. So, 911 falls on a Thursday
this year. Okay. So, now look, it's 8:30. We don't have to talk about it right now, but I think that the town needs to post it on their website as an event. Okay. Okay. So, um we need to start um actually I have to make a motion. Mhm. All right. So, the motion before I made the motion, I had a little
bit of a problem. The singer, do we know her rate went up? National anthem. Well, we have different national anthem singers. So, I'm not sure which one. Are you requesting a specific singer or you're singing her price? Because I'm going to move $500. That might not be enough. Uh, no. That should be um
for 500 bucks from a past the singer event where I did last year. In other words, in your computer, not so much one of our events, but another committee's event where you know who the singer was, but they
weren't charging. I've given them $50. Maybe they charge 100 before. It's under 500. 100. The wreath was expensive because that was the veterans committee actually donated that last year to us. So we have to get a reef. Oh go the wreath. Okay. Yeah. Okay. And then we
have to also do that. Thankfully we had people sponsorship last time that did like bakery did pastries. They might want to do it again this year. So we have to keep it in mind. So let's do this. The make a list of your Yes. Do you all want to have the conversation right now? It's already 8:30 about the location. Last year it was here in town hall. There were some people that
approached me and said, "Hey, why isn't it Veterans Park?" I didn't make that decision. That was given to me by the veterans committee and they said it's here. But if you guys want to take it back to Veterans Park, we can do it there. However, you know, I'll be this. I think this I mean I like
this turnout. I think this one if it ain't broken yet. Yeah. More compact. I like this. Well, the thing too is you have a where do you have a bigger parking issue and which room is bigger and what is your expected attendance and
that would be the venue. So depending upon what you're going to do then that would determine your venue. No, I understand that Nancy but since it's a week day most likely be working. Okay. So so their point I understand.
All right. So it goes here but here so let's do this. So, I'm going to This is going to be a long motion. Sorry, sir. Okay. Wait. Okay. The long the motion is the following. Uh 911 town hall.
No, it's going to be outside. Oh, that's right. They do with All right. Last year. Last time we did 9:00 a.m. Is that okay with everybody? I mean, we started at How was that with the school? That's part
at 9. We're good. We're already done. Okay. We We had got it done before. All right. So, now the motion. Okay. 9:00 a.m. Town Hall obviously on 911. And then we have to part of this motion
we're making the allocation to $500 to the uh budget category. All right. $500. So you're taking that out of what's funny that was actually one of my questions. I missed that. If you go to the minutes um last month, you can see
Yes. What? So you can take it out of ed or it's not edit. Yeah. So, let's take it out of um Well, technically the change hasn't been made yet that that Peterman did. No, I have been Yeah, because we still have
counsel. Okay. So, so then [Music] take it out of um You know what? Let's just let's just take it out of EDMAT. I guess it's No, I can't. Is available budget. I'm confused now. No, that's okay. So,
that's the budget you currently have. So if you go to the minutes from last meeting, you can see what the reality of. So what you would take out of All right. So let's just take it out of Yeah, the EDM is there. I mean, educational materials. Well, you know what? Awareness probably makes more sense because I think awareness has more
right now. You have 1,740 for that allocation to aware so all right. So 1,000 Okay. So the motion is Mr. P. Go ahead. 500 500 from
Ed Matt 500 from Med Ed Madd D M A T Okay and allocated to allocated to 11 and I'll second that motion. All right. So we have a motion on the table by CA DV.
Okay. Um all in favor I. Any against? None. Okay. Last time last item on the agenda uh elderly affairs committee. Nancy, do you want to take this and talk to them about the event? You want me to join you in the next meeting or anyone
else? You talk about it or so if if this committee if u this committee gives us Nancy and I the opportunity to speak to the other committee to plan the phone text um um you know I guess presentation, right? Um all in favor say
