some information. So I don't on the agenda if you want to add it. Okay. So, uh I move to add uh the pickle ball tournament at six. Before we do that, Clary is the one that has all that information. Do you have that information? And we don't know who's
playing. That's all the way in September. So, I I don't know how to, you know, already sign up for you all if you don't have the be something to your phone. So, we don't have any info, right? We
don't have any number of who's going to be. I think it's September, right? Yes. Yeah. We don't know who's going to be playing or any of that. We were going to open it up to the councilman, somebody mayor, maybe for the pickle ball. Yeah. Yeah. So, we're going to like sponsor them or something like that. But we
don't have that in Yes. No, you do not have any additional information. Yes. Cuz it's not But what information do you need? the names of the players, the player level, and the name of the team. That's all to sponsor. So, I can ask her if there's a
way we can sponsor without including that information, maybe, but that was part of the GG's Playhouse registration form. I mean, we need to move ahead, but we're going to ask, but we don't know the name of the play. We don't know the name. We don't have Don't we have to
choose those people? Maybe we can just without choosing. Can we do that as well? I think it's part of your sponsorship team. We're sponsoring the team. Yeah. Like we're paying the registration people with two players.
Oh, I volunteer. So, I can't promise I'll win. Let's add it. Okay. So, we're adding I'll play. There's more discussion. Okay. It's September. I have time to spirit. I move to uh add six G uh the

budget 7A to new business. Second. Second. All those in favor? I I motion passes. Um I wanted to see it just propose just to me right now. Is
there something that we can do like a parent night out with some of the money that we have like something fun through our board? I add it to the agenda. Yeah. Okay. Make
a motion. Okay. Can I make a motion um to have a a parents night out sponsored by the town sign? I second. All those in favor? I So we'll discuss that during the business. Anything else? Anybody? Last
chance. Okay. So, the agenda is closed. Um, so, uh, public comments. Do we are you here to speak? Public comments. Can you put us on the staff or is it uh, you can go during public comments? You're
not like part of the Okay. Yeah. All right. So, we'll go in the public comments. This is I am Susan Alo. This is Justin. Hello. We are here as staff um for the transportation department. So um we're uh starting the
process of the transportation master plan and the vision zero plan which is a huge undertaking that we're taking on uh to basically re-evaluate all the roads and our priorities to re um re-evaluate our roads from the point of view of safety. And I'm basically here to
recruit you all as my eyes and ears in the community, as people that have a very particular viewpoint on how our pedestrian facilities, our bicycle facilities, and our roads function for for for your community, right? For the for the special needs community. Um,
we're going to give you these little cards that have a little um QR code in them uh that points you to a map where you can drop notes of things that you're concerned about, places that you find unsafe. And the vision zero is basically
changing the way we look at our road system uh from focusing on on traffic flow to focusing on safety first. And vision zero is um uh um reducing uh injuries and or fatalities to zero.
Hi uh by the year 23rd. Uh so gave you obviously it is a huge project. We had a grant from the from the the federal government to to undertake this. The county has already done it. the state
has already done it. We're sort of fine-tuning it to Miami to Miami Lakes and we're um and I'm very hopeful that you guys can provide your perspective on how what areas feel unsafe. I'm very concerned about areas where we have this
is a very good example of where like to me I used to have my sister on a wheelchair and ramps that are ramping the wrong way that I call them suicide ramps right that are ramping into the middle of the intersection drive me bad and that's how we have designed um
intersections all this time right so yes we have you know if you're if you're lost and your wheel is like break this off on your wheelchair you're going to wheel right in the This this is very common in Miami day county. I want to remove all those like make them look like you know if you you
lose your you're going to go into the right place. Crossing situations, lack of crossing areas, crossings that are too slow that are forcing you to walk too fast across the intersection. All of these things are collecting data at this point. At some point we will have
basically a giant master plan that will inform the next five to 10 years of improvements in the town so that we can request things that are immediate and we can start planning things that are a little more longterm and um and also that you can invite us to all your
parties so we can come and talk to all the actual residents and like let out the voice and like involve the community into the effort. So that's what we're here for. Uh, I will be talking to y'all on a regular basis, bringing updates,
and like again, if I can show up in all your parties, I'm more certain, including the parents night out. I'll be Yes. I have I have a question. So, are we just talking about sidewalks or we're talking about like streets?
Streets, traffic. Yes. And including freight. Like, we're also asking for additional money to include freight conditions. So this is a complete port both transportation master plan for all our transportation needs and on the side the vision zero which for all modes of
transportation that includes transit and it includes sidewalks, bicycle facilities, uh places where there is no sidewalks where pedestrians are not accommodated properly. Uh situations where like maybe there's a sidewalk but it feels unsafe. Right? We we understand
feelings as well. Not just actual unsafety, but also the feeling of unsafess is important. If it doesn't feel safe, you don't walk on it. Uh all of these things. So, by all means, overwhelm the website with every opinion you ever had about anything. It's a
little map, so you can drop a pin and then give a short explanation. You don't have to be very complicated. just feels unsafe because blah blah blah or too narrow sidewalk or maybe there's something protruding into the sidewalk. We will be doing audits of most of our
roads and systems. So, we will be verifying all of this, but obviously the more information we walk into it with the much better this is all the richer and the more um it's all going to be right. So an example would be like a
like a tree root like apple rooting but but not just issues of maintenance so much um sure like those are that those are important but I'm more concerned about design faults right things that are already designed wrong like for
example for example yes and inadequate uh equipment which would be traffic lights or ramps that are not ramping right or sidewalks that are completely like you're going on your wheelchair and your wheelchair keeps going towards the road
because it's ramped the wrong way. All of these other and maybe trip hazards, which is what you're describing right now, right? Some of these get fixed when we fix the sidewalks. So, I'm not necessarily like super focused on horrible like yes, if if it's a horrible
trip hazard, by all means report it, but also put it on the other one so we can take care of it sooner rather than this because this is a report at the end of the day, right? So there will be actionable items out of this report. But for this is more more about being able to study the entire town from the point
of view of safety, not from the point of view of getting cars through fast, which is what we do right now. It's how many vehicles can we get through efficiently, right? And then the safety of pedestrians, vehicle users, andor um you
know, it gets left behind for for later. So, uh, again, I'm here with you all, Daniel. Yes. Thank you so much. Yes. And if you have any question Yes. And we're here all the time. So, if you have any
questions about how to like anything, by all means, drop stuff in there. If you're bored, you just drop it in. It's in Spanish and in English. And by all means, disseminate it to anybody that has opinions about anything. The
more opinions the better. This is uh this is where we get. Yes. Yes. Oliver will be probably going to go in some I'm sure you'll love it. It's the heat. So I don't know. I don't
know. All right. Continue taking I don't know who started it or something. So you want to share you see I got you. Well, we have other new members too. So
I don't know. You all want to do a motion to order new shirts? Go ahead, Kimberly. I'd like to make a motion. We first have to open up order. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Oh. Um, I move
to open up uh the agenda again to add another item. Do I have a second? Second. All those in favor? I I Okay, we'll make you a motion. Um, I'd like to make a motion to order
um polos um for anybody that doesn't have any. So, Ethan board polos, special needs advisory board polos. I don't know if anyone else needs any
polos as well. If anyone's running low or adding to 7 CC anybody second all those in favor I motion well I wanted to share that uh say first of all thank you for letting
me be here and also that I dur during my before this meeting I actually did a little bit research of some nonprofits that are connected with that could that I can potentially partner with. These include Kaza Familia and Neuro Consulting Solutions.
Okay. So like in the coming months we can potentially do some like an event. Thank you. If you want to discuss for the next meeting um send it to me so I can add it to the agenda for the next meeting.
Okay. Okay. Uh since the agenda is open, I also wanted to uh um postpone uh 6E special needs safety program since officer Amador is not
going to be here today. Exact. Yes. Um sorry, which number is it? 680. the safety proto but we're going to offer that to defer that to next meeting. All those in
favor motion passes. All right. So those closed again now let's do approval of minutes. You want to look over the minutes and uh minutes as a reminder to really exactly
segment the motion and that it passed by everybody. I think some of the it was Yeah. But I I have to say it was like I put motion pass. I have to say motion passed by everybody or Yeah. Though how the motion usually goes all
in favor I that everyone was in favor just the same. Okay. Motion passed by everyone. All in favor. Okay. And you have to write make sure you write the motion. Mhm. Okay. So like Meline made a motion to approve the minutes like that's fine or Yeah. Perfect.
The other the other motion. Okay. I haven't done that yet. What happened? The ones for um adding agenda 7 C. Yeah. And then deleting 6E or deferring
6E. We need a motion. Are you talking about that's a new? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no. We're looking at the old minutes. Okay. Yeah. For 6E. I wrote a motion to defer 6E because officer is absent and then I I took a picture and I
sent you to the other. So it's who made the motion who seconded it all in favor and then all in favor. Okay. So just to keep that with all the motions throughout. Oh, okay. Yeah, because there's some that you put like cool second and then some you didn't skip.
Okay, now I thought she was just going forward in this. Okay, you spelled mad, right? Come on, give me some credit. I have thought of you being secretary. Great.
Not officially on the once. I made um honey bun. Um Oh my goodness. Thank you. That's really sweet. We had to celebrate our completely
full beautiful board. Yep. Um, in reference to the muting, I mean the minutes. I just saw it. I'm going to go. Uh, item eight
under they only have one. No, it's after I'm confused. Hold on. Order of business, public comments, old business. Okay. Old business. New business.
Announcements. Announcements on page six. Mhm. Uh Jesse, how do you spell your nickname? Jesse. Okay. I think it has to be the full name though. That's for the minutes. Okay. Oh, is there Jessie?
J the beginning of the minutes. Yeah. what I'm saying here. It says Jesse. No, I know. But I think that for minutes purposes, does it have to be my full name? Like I just said, I can double check. I don't know if that's a rule or not, but usually full name, right? And I think just the first name, right? Does
it have to be No, not it could be the first. That way there's no confusion because of nicknames. That's true. And I spell in Jesus. Y let's make sure. I make a motion to approve with that
correction. Second half done. All in favor? I I You need a motion to approve it. You second. Thank you vice
chair. You're welcome. All right. So, okay. Let's go through all this. You need to um work on the report to council. I kind of did u I updated our last one if you if you
guys have anything to add or take off. Um, okay. Let me know San Francisco. I don't know where you got me. You want to know where I know? Where? I took a karate class when I was at FIU
and that was the sensei thing. Oh, you missed it. No, my face. I did martial arts most of my childhood. What did I do? I made it to black fence. Oh, I love Mike. Yeah, we saw you put Mike on here.
Report my little slip. I made it to black belts belts. Belts. The black belts. I really I started through second grade all the way to fifth. Wow.
My daughter started in first and she stopped. You might take up. Yeah, who knows? I thought this Aikido movement
like number seven. I didn't have time to like elabor elaborate a little bit, but like the partnerships with Samoa Foundation wanted to add something like a little description of
who they are, what we're doing. Yeah. Is there any news on the front of the town or or that a separate motion that they have that we have to do? Not a motion, but a separate set of
them working. Yes. Do they have periods? I'm surprised I didn't still say that that's uh the man's it's on mute and everything and it still picked up my his
name her name. Um the becomes um I know one of the things is the Oh yeah. Okay. The call I think that was what they mentioned but they have it. So yeah cuz the the beginning is kind of what you've been up to for the
last and then the future. I I think so the partner with the De Moa Foundation has sponsored a meet and greet. That's one but then I think something else was the meeting that you guys had. Right. That's what I want to add. Yeah. I think it would be something
partnership like working towards a partnership. Yeah. But would it be added to the same thing? No, because I think it's two different things cuz you met with the town and the demo foundation. You get it? Like I
think it should be two separate things. It could be two symbols. Right now we have 10 and I don't want to it has to be either 10 or 12 and not be a five number and that's why well if you need to add one more thing
you could also mention sponsored uh DJ's playhouse pickle ball tournament would that automatically give you that? Yeah, it's upcoming but it's but they're in the That one's on that one's Did I put that one? No, no, only the cooking class
is on it and pickle ball is in August. That'll be future. So that'll be we have two months to know the rules of pickle ball in number seven. Wait, do we need to make a motion to add? No, because this
no at the end at the end we'll we'll do the motion to add all the changes on number seven. Yeah, auto correctly. Back on the other side. The budget you all have the most current
report the back of your agenda sheet. So these are all the numbers and the numbers are accurate for the budget. Yeah, this is what you have right? No, I'm saying. No, this is from earlier this year. This is what we got.
It's okay how it is. Well, you want to reflect the most current. So, those Yeah, I wasn't sure. Right. These are lower sums than what's currently. Um, how about the the for autism
data? Is it here? Yeah. Yeah. Number four. No for autism. Add it to the best time. See, now we have 12. Number four.
Oh, okay. Sorry. 12. It's fine. That's fine. We can have 11. 11. Can anybody think of any other um events that we did or attended or sponsored or
did I miss anything? But as we didn't do it as a board, we did put the thing. No, I did put it though. Yeah. Okay. I'm sorry. And I read it, but I missed the bike ride. Yes. So again,
where could I uh the resource there? Number five. So is number 11 the viper then? No. 11 I think would be the demoya and then number 12 would be the viper.
Yeah. Like if we split the meeting and going with the partnership. I think we should because I I think it's good to highlight them separate. was this like safe safety. Um, somebody else you did was you you
got together, you met with you did, right? You met with Parks and Rep about the sensory friendly I know you could in future. Yeah, I don't know if that's something. I mean, I there's there's really not an
update because they're like working on it. No, I know. I've met with them, but no, because it's it's it's in the future, so I guess it should be okay. Yeah, they don't have anything really to present to them, but it's a it's a future project and they have a a movie
coming up like a sensory friendly movie shown. Yeah, it's in the future. Yeah. Audience graduation. I mean, I think you put it I think it falls under the three. Yeah. Um, and we can't mention anything about
the um, even if it's in the future, the the camp, but there the um, or you mean with Reach? Angel's Reach. We can't mention that at all, right? Cuz
nothing's legally done. Yeah, I don't think anything came out of it. So, well, I thought it was on home like for sure nothing's going to come out of it or I mean it might but I don't think it's through us really. I think so. She did the bidding. She went
through them. So, there's no really information that um make sure it's not on here. What about the um from card Ivan? Ivan, the picnic is on there. No, not the picnic for part. Um Ivan's
um remember he said he's going to be be able to speak on it come fall like come August. Oh the school. Yes. That's that will be this year. Yeah. But that's really something that I think he'll be
doing. I'm not sure what road we're going to take in it. I think we might play I don't even know exactly. I think more than anything he wanted maybe like our support but I don't know to what extent we're actually like cuz I thought he wanted to
work specifically with our schools here like but that's not a 90 lag and then we would ch well they'd be champion it but we would help facilitate that and I actually think he was going to go to to the education advisory board
that's more with them than with us the contact schools might be open schools. Okay. So, yeah, I think that's it. I think we've got everything. Um, what about um I don't know if you were allowed to bring up for
like that be a future. So, now we have 13. No, that's future. Oh, okay. 10 even number well you had number one sensory park feature
is that in general or were you spec were you talking specifically about the 4th of July because you could say 4th of July and no that's going to put where it's at are you going to put royal looks do you want to add that to it or just leave it as there's no location confirmed yet for
the Century Park feature they're looking at all the different ones to see where Yeah. Yeah. We don't have anything concrete. Okay. I guess since we always spoke about Roy Lopes for whatever reason.
So, let's work on the Yeah, I got one. I did it. Oh, I thought she had another one. Say no. No, no, not enough for uh for the budget. Community awareness 10,000. Okay. Community programs
30 social recreation 30 training and workshops 10 and grants and aids $9,78 with I did 89708 I think yeah that's what you have it I think it should be more which one
actually you haven't really spent Yeah. Because at times like that's usually one of the ones we get the most from and that was the least amount that we put on the glass budget. That's fine. Granted aid money to other
organizations. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. When we do the cooking class, it comes from there. When we do the hope for autism, does that also that comes from that? No, that that comes from It's really social social okay programs with a skill
community programs and that would be the cooking no cooking it wouldn't come out of grand that's probably why it's the lowest number yeah our number is 89708 according to this right you can see the actual spent
this is the number we have to get to this is the number you 978. That's what your budget is. Yay. Excellent job, Vice Chair. Thank you, Madam. Okay. So, so good thing in addition to the
report is the attendance sheet that is required to go to council the track of attendance throughout the year. Yes, I sent you a template so you have it. Okay. What do we do? The secretary is in charge of keeping attendance. So in addition to the
report, it's now required to have a tendon sheet. So council can see that members have been shown. Okay. I mean, but in the minutes, every minute has this this is something new, right? Now it's kind of requirement. Yeah. So it's a new thing just to make sure you have
your We were always keeping track of who came, who didn't. Yes. So now actual sheet. Yeah. You need to It's a simple little sheet. You just you click the dates and then you just mark if they're here or absent. Excuse, but now they made it mandatory. Yeah,
because I know we always put it in the minutes, right? Okay. Yeah. So this Yeah. So the secretary will just be in charge and then be as chair. There's excused unexcused. You have the power to rule that does.
So, someone has to go back in the minutes and find out who, what, where. I updated it and I sent it over to Kimberly. Say, I want a copy of the intended sheet. I can pull it up on the big screen also, so you all can see
it. See what we need to do. Thank you for doing that. One second. I was going to do that. Um, so if you see something wrong, this is the time to kind of update. I tried to go back on my notes.
Okay. So, while she looks for that, um, what do you guys think for number seven on the updates? Partnered with the Demoa Foundation to create employment opportunities for young adults with unique abilities. It's Yes, definitely.
You mean sponsored? You want to put that for number 11 or add it to seven? I added add it because I wanted to add a little description of Right. What What was 11 and 12 then? 11 was the 12 was the bike ride and 11
was the that we uh sponsored the meet and greet with the Moya Foundation. Under seven, right? No, I'm separating. Oh, right. So, why don't you leave seven alone and add it to 11? Put it under 11 because you already put meet and greet
on seven. Partner with a demo and sponsor meet and greet. that you want to put at the trellis colors or no? I like to keep it very broad. Okay. Got it. Got it. So, seven, what are you
you're changing to what? Adding. I'm just adding the little description for De Moya Foundation. Okay. And then on the number 11, you're going to write what? 11 is the bike ride. Okay. It was 12 um
the meet and greet. Okay. So, she keeps changing number seven to the appointment one and then number 11 will be the background and number 12 will be the meet and greet. Yeah. And it sounds good when you say sounds
good. I mean does the order of that? I don't think it's what you really say fix it later might not keep the exact same order but it's the attendance sheets on
the screen um so if you see that someone was absent someone meeting it's not there also one I'm here like I wasn't appointed oh yeah you're reappointed yeah but that's why I was like I'm at a meeting
feel like I've been here Get me. All right. Bye. I saw you were sworn in in March. That's why you're na for attendance on those. Not doing a valid perfect descendant awards. Um so the two absent are
um I guess if you excuse them or not. For the case that you were absent, it's the vice chair that would say if it's excused or not excused. for March. This is why we need to keep it up to date. Say we have perfect attendance.
But we only need from January, right? The this year. Yeah, that was really good. And you have a copy of it? Yeah, I got it in the email. Where do we put whether it's excused or not? On the sheet. So whenever it says absent, you
can change it to excused. All right. So Jesse's absence um it's is excused. So March 5th for Jesse is excused. Thank you. Second and then we just have to update it.
Okay. Yeah, I'll What about Vivian's absence? Is it on a drive or like No, I got I'm looking at the email, but I'm saying like when I hit I see it to save to PC. I'm just saving off my computer or is it
a share drive that it automatically? No, it's a document. So, the updated version for this report. The next time you go to counsel, just send me I'm not going to ask for it every month. That's what I'm saying. So, it's saved on like my hard drive and then I just send you the updates. Perfect. She was trying to say
that they Okay. So on the record, both the absences are excused. So the secretary will update them and send me the updated sheet. And today um Clarium is absent and today's
musically. Okay. So moving on. Okay. So any other additions to the report uh before I make a motion? So I move that we approve this
report with all the corrections made including the budget going to day uh of the budget. If for the record I think you said it earlier it's the same budget. Okay. Yeah. So the budget referred to earlier. Okay. Second. All
those in favor. Motion passes. July 4th. Um so my deadline is July 3rd. So you all are
reporting on the 15th of July. All right. So, okay. Fourth of July sensory room. I'm going to be out of town. So, I need
um I need to know who's going to be able to work it. I can upset. I cannot work it. That's also cultural failures. That's the one thing I don't go to. I don't know closer to this. I just um
my husband said okay. So the event is from Okay. So the hours would be from 6:00 to 9, right? So when do the When do the fireworks start? 9.
Okay. Oh, I I mean I'm pretty sure I could go even if my husband is working. I could take the kids. Mhm. Um at least I know they can't really see. They wouldn't be running around. But um uh as far as the set, I mean there is
space though. Even if they wanted to run. Yeah, I just meant like outside cuz in 2 seconds I'll go like this. Two seconds. No, so it's the whole area. Yeah. So, as far as the inventory goes, John
6:30. Yeah. Yeah. So, I would say like be there at 6 just for setup and then shop. Right now, we're in the calendar for 5:30 to 10:30. We do set up in the morning, leave
everything ready to go. Al, so you don't have to worry about traffic, people taking all the parking spots and Oh, yeah. getting a good space. That's what we did last year. That's right. No one's going to be in there that day. Right now, the room is reserved for 5:30
to 10:30, an hour for setup, an hour behind, actually. Yes. Yeah. Um, which is what from Gabby's notes he did last year. Yeah. Yeah. I think we like what we did was we dropped everything off in the morning
and then we set we set it up. We didn't set up anything. We set up in the morning or 11 12:00. We set it up. I have pictures. If I had pictures, I know I was there 11 and 12. There's no movements.
Yeah. Popping everything off. Julie was there. Clary showed up to set up. Yeah. Oh, wasn't that like it was around noon? I'm telling you. I trust you. All right. So, somebody showed up
and said, "Oh, you're here." Oh, jeez. It was early. All right. So, what about getting everything from John? Um, when do you leave? I leave on the
third. There we go. somehow get a hold of him. But in reference to that, I I want to make a we need to I we need to decide on ordering more stuff. Remember, we have we have 12 headphones.
Uh we have 12 headphones. I don't know where the bags are. I was hoping was going to be here. I'm pretty sure there's some bags up there and gather the new bags. Yes, that boxes that you bag. Yeah, the little backpacks. Cuz we had a lot. We ordered
12 new ones and he said he only has 12 new ones. So, do we think 12 is enough or do we order more? How many people came last year? Unknown. Cuz we ordered 12 and we had
already I think 12 or something. Yeah, I think we had a total of like 25 if I'm not mistaken with what we purchased, right? But he only had the one that came the last time somewhere could be who knows there
was a box of I don't think I wasn't there but I don't think we had more than 12 people show up. Not all of them got Yeah. because they're going to be canceling.
Do you think we need more than 12? I mean, we could order we could order a few more cuz anyways, we're going to need for the uh the 25th anniversary event. So, it's not like it's Do you want to order 12
more? Sure. Do you want to make notion? Not yet. 25th anniversary event. Huh? December. Yeah. If anything, if we run it low, then we can just I think it's the sixth
of the Yeah. that paper, the sticky paper. Yeah. Do you use crayons or do you use markers? We need to order a few crayons. Okay. Right on the list.
what I was doing. You have the signs tablecloths. Oh, this is Amazon, right? It has to be. Yeah. You said I would have a Where's my check? Where's my check? Where's my check?
Oh, okay. Let me follow. What are you talking about? The sugar. Okay. Hadones too. He said we have the bean bags, the puzzles. We have excess fidget spinners and all that
stuff left over. Yeah, I think we'll right. I make the motion to buy some additional supplies for the 4th of July sensory room from no
from events. Social and recreation for no more than $700. I was going to go for five, but okay. I second. All those in favor? I
passes to Yes. Always better be under the So who okay you back. So who can attend for sure for those? Um I can help set up right in the morning set up I can help
set up with you. Okay. Um can we get volunteers? I can ask. How many volunteers are you requesting? Three. Three. from 6 to 9:30.
Yeah, I can ask. And I know adult an adult has to be there. 6 to 9:30. The volunteers. Oh, okay. Sorry. Um or 9 6 to 9 around there. The fireworks usually start at 9,
right? And then last year what we did is like we packed everything up. We put it in the bins and we left them there. Okay. Um but I want to see if they can store
that stuff in the in the storage room. Yeah, we can have all that stuff all the time. Maybe it's true. So, he has us he has like all the stuff. He has a garage that we've been putting
in the garage. Yeah. We don't have like a tower closet or something. Yeah. So, we're trying to at the pools. There's a storage room. And why can't we have a storage in town? Yeah. Like I my office like 200 bucks for a storage a big one
here next to the fire station and that way we don't have to have our stuff everywhere. That's a good point. We would know exactly what's there every time. Like even an inventory. that even allowed? I would have to check.
Yeah, I I doubt donations though. I would have to check. I mean, I don't think there would be a problem, but again, no one's that I know committing. It's really to preserve the stuff they're spending money on. Yeah, because that breaks anyway. Like, I spend a bunch of money buying things. It breaks
and let alone if it's lost. It's like the house of a unit in that Mary Collins. That's what I would have to check. So if it's labeled um again it's like janitorial that goes in there. We used to store stuff in there. Mhm. And I think you said there might be some
Halloween stuff there. The Halloween change were labelled. Okay. And back to the question. Yeah. Who's going to be there for this room? I can let you I can let you I can let
you know tomorrow. Okay. Thank you. I'm trying to be there. You guys if we don't have anyone adults, not the volunteers, adults, what do we do? Do we
have to cancel the sensory room? How many? Cuz right now we have two babies. How many adults do we need? At least one from 6:00 to 9. Especially if the if we get volunteers,
somebody has to supervise them. We can't leave them. Yeah, cuz usually it's high school years. Is there a possibility to hire somebody? Because I have people that will do something like that for 3 hours for like $100. They would be there. I mean, I want to say yes right now. I
just No, I'm not going out of town or anything. It's just wise. Yeah, they would be at $10.99. I'll I'll figure out the volunteers. I was planning on attending. Um I can't guarantee I'll be there as a town event so I might be needed elsewhere right
right so um if I can like confirm that I can be there during that slot then I can supervis I have to see what else is actually I'll be there I'll be there I see the the community needs it and I want to help
make this a positive event so I will be there what time would I you want you want me to at 5:30 or early than I think that there's been a discussion. Yeah. No, I think Yeah. 6. Yeah. Yeah. 6:30.
Sorry. Do we have another meeting before it? No. Right. July 1st is a Tuesday. July is a Friday. Friday. So, I didn't know if we wouldn't be be meeting July 1st or second is the next scheduled meeting. July 2nd. Yep. Oh, okay. So, we
still meet before though. Yeah. Yeah. But whatever. You have to come in now. Yeah. Whatever. Yeah. Things have to be ordered now. At least for that. Oh, no. I meant for the schedule like, you know, to see cuz I I should know soon, but I Right. Volunteers. Yeah, we're
definitely right now. We have a definite. So, that helps that deal. If we didn't have anybody when we have to discuss what's going to happen. Okay. The town is putting a Fourth of July like a event video together. So is there like certain things happening during the
sensory room you would advertise or happening? Nope. We just hand out headphones to those that request it. But that's that's something. Yeah. So headphones video coloring books. There was for the children. I know they did a video last
year like after the event and it featured footage from our from that room. So I don't know if they can grab that um footage footage from that video. Okay. Yeah, I have to do what type of
video it is, but I can that would be great. Is this inside of my or is this like the big So it's not like the trailers that they have like at like parks and they'll have like a sensory room.
It's you know the Yeah. So it's the big room that they many times they'll split it like two different things. It'll be open and it'll be a hole. And I know I have pictures. They're going to taking pictures. I have
pictures. So we can remember the setup of like That's true. They're going to be better. Professional photographer for the time. Was it that took pictures? Maybe on his
Was it John? I know Jonathan was there. Yeah, I know Jonathan was there, but we'll try to find that was one of them. Yeah, but those pictures were used in the video. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So, just the event
request form that reminded you to get that calendar for tomorrow. Okay. So, moving on. Mayor's ga update. Um, we haven't met yet, but I feel like you hear that
they are going to be moving into like November. We are. Yeah. No, I don't have a date yet. I don't have, like I said, we
haven't November 4th. every weekend except for Thanksgiving weekend. Goodness gracious. Well, that's the only update I have. We had these little bags lasting those um or we need to order one of those. We
haven't there's a clear I can bring that box day of I don't know how many are there. They look like there's plenty from what I don't know the number. Okay. So, that's the only update I have
for mayor's data right now. So, for sure, for sure. It's not in August. November. It's for sure not. I wouldn't say 100%. Because we, like I said, we haven't met
part of the reason why we haven't met. I think it it's because you know mayor's assistant told me that mayor wants to push it for weather reasons and uh we want to be closer out of the uh
season. Are all the monies still going to this board? Do we know who's putting that gala together? It used to be Joseph, right? Well, the mayor's new assistant was Josh also.
Clariselle and us. Okay. But once we know a little bit more, I'll let you guys know what we can do to help. Okay. But they're looking to have it at the hotel again.
What would we Is now the time to talk about that like of who would be providing food and feedback? We need to have at least two members of our board helping to plan them like helping them plan and everything. Not
just because to get it done right or anything. Not for that. It's so that we can know where the money is going and then we can see, you know, hey, we spent I know we're not doing the casino this time, but I'm just saying, hey, we spent this much on the casino, but it only
brought back this much. Like, it's going to be good for us to know in the future like, hey, you know, like this was great, but you know, we were missing this. Hey, the silent auction was great, but we were missing this. I think that we need to be part of that. We need to
have a seat at that table like like just to give you I couldn't go but I sponsored I I forgot but I gave a good amount of money so my my office went and they told me I was like so excited for them. They got all dressed up. They're like stuff we had like little taco
finger food. Like the gala experience was not received right. So it would be better because then you're going to get people not going the next year. Well, yeah, that's something that we discussed at the at our first the first meeting, first and only meeting we've had so far
is that that's it's not going to be like that anymore. It's going to be gonna be an actual mail Okay, that's so and it's going to be sa with seats, right? Yeah. We don't know yet if it's going to be like a buffet
style dinner. In other words, it's going to be different from last year's. Yes, there's going to be a full meal because that was part of the and the dessert feedback that I my I don't know. I'm being requested. Misha is out of town at this point, but
I was told that the Misha's cupcakes were super hard. My my whole staff was very disappointed with the experience. I didn't get to go, so I'm sure you guys maybe you can. I mean, the ticket costs a lot of money and even more if you're sponsoring. So, I completely get and if
we're going to put our name on something, we should be proud of what we're putting together for years. And the reason why we should have seated. Yeah. Well, I'll let you guys know when the meeting is rescheduled if you guys want to come to a meeting.
Good. So, I know Clarisel um was getting quotes from the hotel as far as food goes, different menu, different things. So, basically based on that then we have
to decide what price would charge for the ticket. Didn't for didn't they allow outside vendors for the mayor's gala? But like you're not forced to use the hotel. Oh, that was cuz it wasn't
because that would be if it was his last one. They made a deal with us that we could bring the food, but they rather not have that happen again. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was in exception to their
rule. because I was there that day and coordinating all of those vendors and uh it wasn't enough room with the tables and it was a little bit chaotic
but I'm grateful administration now everything going forward will work out not just that but I'm very grateful that Clarisel is involved and that sounds staff is more involved in it this year and we definitely discussed that we want
to there's not going to be like a theme per se because we want it to be like a gap an elegant gala theme you know uh we want to highlight the fact that it's the 25th anniversary of the town
um it's a new mayor so people will right it's an opportunity to be like fresh to start be like you know dress dress up like fancy not necessarily really costumey or you know we want it to be something classy and so it has like that
gala effect you know so that vision has changed pretty much sketch yeah okay uh animation program um the graduation It's going to be June

I know they're going to make like I don't think they're going to have like super professional I mean I'm wrong like professional pickle ball players
I think is getting nervous. All right. So, I think so. So, we're done with old business, new business, the budget. We um we did it, right? So, this is for 2025,
2026. So, um if there's any like reallocations, any wishes, any needs, this would be the time. If you're good with your budget, how is we don't need to request anything. What about our budget? It is. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay. So, next up is the parents parents night out. I mean, I just think that'll be nice. I would be it would be nice to at least do one a year. Um, but whatever ideas and where you would want to do it
and what would be the activity? I don't know. I mean, I like dating with a twist. That's an option. Um, my my gym, is it my gym? The one here on Main Street? Yeah, they do Paris
night outs like But I'm assuming the parents want to come to like they could go right next door to um No, right next door is um garrison corner 67.
right there. Corner 67 and then my gym drop off. There's also food. Yeah. So the the they leave their their child at my gym. Yeah. So my gym will help us with this venture. We would have Yeah. I mean when you do when they host those
you pay you pay like $30 a child. I don't know what it is because I never do it. But um yeah, we could work a deal with them and see if they'll strike a better deal cuz we'll be buying corner 67's a little tiny.
Yeah, depending on how many people cuz we could close it out basically. I mean is is bigger but it's like I just think ideally like it's like right there you know if something you know they
have so like walking distance how about like the ill house in the back where there's music there's food they can order drinks something more lively corner 67 nothing against them it's just it's a little
small you know it's expensive and you're not getting a whole Not something less formal but fun. Okay. Which one did you say? I said the owl house.
Is it people go crazy there? The patio. Patio. I also know they have music there too. That's really small. Yeah. Yeah. And I love So the child care is is taken care of so they can actually
attend. Yeah. And then they walk across the street. That's for children though. Keep in mind that some of the parents are also parents of adult kids. I mean they do have I mean I don't know but I know that I'm saying if that's if
that's like the thought process. I'm just the small ones. I don't I wonder how that I wish we could do um but it's I mean it's definitely too far. Um the
spectrum we rock the spectrum my gym but like 10 times the size and pregnancy for every age, every ability to Yeah. Um, unless we're we don't really think
I'm not that I wouldn't want to, but unless we don't really think about the child care part of it, just like a parent out cuz I I like I I don't know how parents would feel like, oh, okay, I don't have a small child, so I guess I'm
or just I usually I sense everything you guys feel free to say like it's no I get it. I mean we have to say like
what I mean I don't think we can pay for alcohol. Not a fair side. No we don't. So it would have to be like once again have to fade out. Why? Yeah,
that's why I thought pain was a flip because you can bring you can sponsor like you pay the restaurant $300 and that could include a combination of ticket food and alcohol. Just a tab. My understanding, Isabella, you can
correct me. We can't sponsor alcohol even if you put it on sponsorship for a gift card. I can see what we our policy with that. But sponsorship, I don't believe so. Um, let me I'll check with CL on that
one because when we do the cultural affairs, we usually have someone donate it, right? Or um we bring our own wine to them. Yeah. But for them to cover it, we usually don't. Unless we have a caterer. So, why don't we do this? Why
don't we um brainstorm and for the next meeting we can come back with different ideas, different places, maybe get some pricing from some restaurants in Sandy Lakes. When is it supposed to be for? I don't
see the date. Oh, we have it. Okay. Yeah, we're just at the discussion point of it. So, um, what do other organizations do like for parent? I've heard of that. That's where I've seen it. Well, I know Hope
for Autism, they do parents night out and it's just basically they just go to a restaurant. Everybody pays their own bill. It's not like it's just a meeting.
And uh it's like a limited amount of people because obviously you can't have 100 people come. Uh so it's usually like 20 spots or 25 spots or whatever. And then I know the inclusive mama, she does like mom's
night out and I think sometimes it's free, other times I think you have to pay. There's only one that's free and there was the one at the falls that just like it's always a minimum of $20 and she like
cuz the thing is like if like what if we do do something and like people don't show up or they sign up and then they don't show up cuz we've had bad experiences with that. Every for me for me. Yeah. Right. Um where you set
up an event, you do the event pay for it, then that's it. Like if at least it's paid for already. Yeah. So that's the only thing that we have to take into consideration. You're not We can't charge like $10 a
ticket to join. like they RSVP on Eventbrite and pay their right. Yeah, it would have to be I mean I think that would be a good idea because we've had events like even the movies that like you know 40 people
signed up and then only 20 showed up. Yeah, that's right. So you have a better chance of somebody showing up if they have to pay even It's
um a small amount, but it's like a commitment and we can't refund that, right? Um maybe for next meeting everybody wants to bring in some ideas. You know, you guys want to move forward and bring
some ideas and see what you think. Sorry. No, I was going to say I think that that's a good idea too like finding out like how do other like organizations how they go about it you know and how
they've been successful with it because like maybe even the way that we word you know Paris night out and what do we say you know to make sure obviously we want the event to be successful we want to just hey we're going to have some event right well we
want to include with like both parents or like this organization. What does it entail? I've never been to a parent night. They make friends. You make friends. I've had them in my store. Like a social
Yeah. And like that like the the store right outside of my store there's like a large or covered parking. So I would usually rent tables, rent chairs, get catering and so people sign parents sign up to go and it's just an
opportunity to mingle and but they also share resources. Yeah. Yeah. the one that I went to, which was at the mayor's cafe, um they had food and they had a speaker.
Um she was like a Michelle. Yeah, Michelle. Yeah. Like a little talk about, you know, dealing with stress and, you know, stuff like that. But we will be ret.
Okay. So, um I can put this table next. Yeah. On the next agenda agenda. So, we can bring more information, more ideas and and go from there. And I just want to say really quick, you can always also start it instead of being both parents,
maybe just the moms just to start it being that usually the moms are tend to be the ones that are more burnt out. I'm not saying that there aren't fathers that are burnt out too, but right I don't know that might be one way also just to see plus there's a lot of single
moms that maybe if it's a couple saying they might not want to go down. So just a lot to think about we you know got a good discussion started so we'll put it in the next uh the
agenda. Uh, the last one is the polo order. Who needs to order polos? Who needs them? Who needs How much are they? Uh, with logo, I think they're around like 30 35 each.
Um, they embroidery. So, any three of them, right? I would do at least 200 because there's also delivery. I had 200. Sorry. When you had 200, I thought I was like, what? No. No, no, I just Where would it come out
of? Cuz she said free. We're at the end of the meeting. What would it come out of? Um, marketing materials, community awareness, how we think awareness, right? Yeah, that's where it comes out of. I make a motion. I
second. Second. I make a motion to allocate Maximum $200 to order three new special needs advisory board polos
for our new members. I second out of something awareness community awareness bucket I think you call it. I might go. There you go. All those in favor? I What are the
sizes? Sorry. Oh, remember they're men's. So if you don't want them too big, order the women. Yeah, because before the you order. I mean, if we're ordering it, might as well order the right fit. In that case,
you're going to have to allocate more money. Yeah, I can I can ask. They charge more for women. I'm not sure if there's a I wouldn't think so, but I don't know. No, I don't think size is what I have. I'll do I like the men's cuz I'm tall.
So women's shrink on me. Anyways, I'll do a men's lunch. Probably the guy one at this even small. Yes size. I'm a large large. So sticking with the regular set.
Um what 7A budget? Yeah, just keep it as is. Keep it. No, not keep it as is. No, there was no that was the Okay. Any announcements? Hold on. Hold on. There were changes for
family cafe. We don't have to make a motion to the budget. We The budget was for the report to council. The budget we were talking about was for 2025 2026. We wanted to ask for something. Okay. Yeah. All right. So, there's no changes. One
