>> Okay. Can you find out who he is? >> Uh Drew Powell. >> Drew Powell. >> Hello team. Can you hear me? >> Yes, we can. >> Yes. Hello. My name is Andrew Powell Santorini. I am a first class petty
officer with the United States Navy reservist and I am a part of what's called the first class petty officer association here in Miami and I wanted to reach out and discuss a potential opportunity for partnership. I had sent an email and got a response I believe
from a isle it was the name of their name. >> Yes. Yes. >> Oh fantastic. And yes, so I I want to thank you for giving me an opportunity to speak with you, but essentially we are a volunteer organization of the Navy for class officers. And we focus on
leadership, mentorship, community service, and supporting sailors. So we raise funds to support programs and outreach efforts. And we'd love to partner with the town by providing a potential patriotic photo station and military appreciation program that could possibly add to your Fourth of July.
>> That sounds wonderful. a bonus station and military appreciation. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> Mr. Close. >> Yes. >> Say that one more time. >> Is there a fee involved? >> No, we would not be charging a fee. We would just be What I'd like to know is
if you could accept donations or possibly sell our military memorabilia. For example, we have t-shirts and challenge coins that we sell and then maybe people could donate if they wanted to take photos with us. So, something like that social in their social media, etc. That's what we're thinking.
>> Quick question. Do you have like a backdrop? Because we're looking for uh something for people to get their picture taken. So, this >> We will have We will bring a We will bring a backdrop. We will procure a backdrop. >> What kind of backdrop is it? Like a flag or something. >> Yeah. So, we're deciding on what we will
advance. It's either going to be a flag with like an eagle or an aircraft carrier on the flight deck. Something like that. Or maybe a downtown Miami with a flag. Something like that. We're thinking these three ideas. Yeah, we we're thinking of making this like a historic event. Uh
>> Okay. >> So like we're going to have reenactments and stuff like that. So if you could something historic that would be fantastic. >> So you would like a historic backdrop? >> Yeah. For the 250th anniversary. >> Makes sense. Okay. That's okay. Fantastic. We can absolutely
>> let us know and send it to so we can >> absolutely >> a short time. We we're pretty much ahead on what we want, but this is I think it's a heaven sentent because we we needed something to with a backdrop. So, >> wow. >> I think we have to make a decision. I
guess not not right now because we're in public comments, but you're saying you you won't accept donations and sell uh memorabilia and stuff like that. >> Correct. >> Okay. We'll uh when we get to that point, we'll we make a decision. I don't see any problem but we have to as a
committee we have to vote on it. >> Of course. >> We'll keep in touch. Okay. >> Thank you so much for the >> comments you need you want to say. >> Say that one more time. >> Any other uh additional comments you want to provide to us? >> Well, so for example, like us setting up
a booth and providing a backdrop where people can take photos. That's that sounds like it's an idea that you're open to. Is there anything I need to know to help you with the ideation? Like I can send an email with the ideas we have. So maybe with some photos so you can see kind of the vision >> something that we can look at.
>> Perfect. I will absolutely do that. >> Review and approve tentatively what you're proposing. >> Okay. >> And I mean I trust you that you're going to have something very nice for us. So >> absolutely. We're the military so we can't we can't members has a question. Go ahead.
>> Okay. My question is are you going to have someone taking the photo or do the people take their picture with their phone? We were thinking that people would take the picture with their friends, but we if we need to have someone take a photo, we might be able to do that. We do have that component of
the Navy as well. >> Okay. >> Yeah, because I was thinking it would be a few of us sailors, so we could obviously have someone with a camera taking photos as well. We can figure out the logistics, whatever people are more comfortable with. I think people tend to be more comfortable taking the pictures with their phones.
>> Yes. Yes. Unless you have some something that you take the photo and then it comes out. You know, you have the equipment that >> that would be an equipment. That would be an equipment that would be for fee. According according to the email we received, what they're providing,
>> excuse me, are sailors and dress white patriotization, family and future sailor photo opportunities, a challenge coin and shirt sales, community engagement, and then the space. They need a 10 x 10 booth space.
Um, >> and if we potentially power for plug in a fan or something like that in case it's hot. >> Yeah. >> The what? The what? We didn't hear you. >> No, I said if there's a potential to have power available in case it's hot, so we can plug in a fan. But, you know, we're the Navy. We get We know it's

that we had on June 4th. Yes. Um I attended the town meeting for the proposed committee budgets for fiscal year 20 2627. Uh basically at the beginning of the meeting uh Mayor Josh uh spoke and said
that you know there's a proposed bill that has passed the Florida legislature regarding property taxes and um it goes to the ballot in November. So he asked that the committees you know basically
not asked to increase their increase their budget >> nothing will kill them right they don't know what's going to happen with the November results so basically I spoke to them regarding the fourth of July event and um telling them how excited we are
it's theund 250th anniversary and how we're all working hard and everything that we're going to do. So, um I asked for the $1,000 extra, which is what we had discussed, from 11,000 to 12,000. Um I answered questions that they had
regarding the event and uh everything that we're doing. Um again, I requested that the name be changed from concert on the fairway town concerts. What >> town concerts, which are the ones Main
Street like? >> Yes. And I told them about that and uh I said that you know Felicia had done a great job you know getting the bands you know and scheduling everyone. So they were very happy with those uh those events uh the one on Main Street and and
all the people that come. So um the mayor made a motion and it was approved by the council member that the name concert on the fairway will now be replaced by town concerts. So that was approved. Okay. Um, I requested that since we have
the $3,000 left over from the Black History Month event, which, you know, unfortunately, you know, it didn't happen and we didn't do, I asked to see if it could be uh moved to the Hispanic Heritage event on October the 10th. Uh
after se discussing it and a lot of the council people discussing it and with their budget and everyone that was there, basically they decided to yes allow us to move the $3,000 from the uh
uh Black History Month event to Hispanic Heritage Event. A suggestion was made since the event is in October that most likely many of these people like the band etc will have to be paid in September. So that is the key here. So hopefully
they will be paid in in September. But they did approve that we use it for the Hispanic Heritage event. Uh I mentioned the increase of $500 for Union of Distinction. Um, and then $1,000 for Hispanic Heritage
for the next year. Enclosure. I told them that basically we were requesting $42,450 for the fiscal year 2026 27 to which there was no answer.
So, but I requested it. So, >> and that's it. >> Okay. Just >> I have a question. Yes. So they agreed to move the the black history >> black history um >> for this
>> for this gonna have the black history month money. >> Exactly. That's not my question. Okay. The Black History $3,000 to Hispanic Heritage. >> Correct. But that would be a new fiscal year now. Well, that's why it was
discussed with them and that's why they said that yes, considering that even though that was in October, which is the beginning of fiscal year, most likely all of that would be play in September, which will fall. >> Exactly. So with the payment that's what
I was telling Justin and then we got to, you know, make sure >> why we had issue with payment last time >> in September. Right. There you go. But I told them that for sure, you know, not to believe the Black History Month. >> No, no, I know that. I was just making
sure that that's next fiscal year. >> We need to use that money up this year. >> All right. >> Even better paying in advance. Yes. >> And there was a pri problem last year. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Okay. Next item. uh fire fishing
tournament. How is it going to be? >> Everything's on target. So far we have 23 um attendees that have signed up. You need to spread the word because remember most of the time half of half of them um actually show up. >> Um I told me all the items that we ordered has discussed last meeting have
arrived. Um the check for the bait has already been sent to onetop and then her slaw has also um provided their $500 sponsorship and say oh the town's going to provide the ice and and the coolers but we need to get the tables and the >> I have the table and the chairs
>> correct then I have another one a couple chairs we should be good >> okay >> so we're okay with the chairs >> yeah cuz is going to have some and I'll have one >> I have some too that I can bring >> if you want I mean there are tables so you know it's just the registration bench.
>> There's benches what I used to order before where two tables and a few chairs cuz sometimes people just want to sit and so if you have some or want to bring your own even better but I'll have a table for the sponsor and then we usually can bring a table and we can use it for registration. >> Okay. >> Yeah, I have my table in my car all the
time cuz it's a folding chair at the time you want everybody to be there. >> Oh, um I guess 8:00 we're going to start at 8:30. Okay. ends from when 8:30 to 11. >> 8:30 to 11. Okay. Thank you, Trinet.
Okay. Moving on to to point July. Okay. Um if this is our last meeting before the 4th of July, we really have to wrap this up. Um >> to think of it that way. It goes fast. >> Yeah, it goes fast. when we started
early on when it had this up. Um after our last subcommittee meeting, uh we had we couldn't do the the subcommittee meeting, which is fine because it would have been yesterday and again today. So what I did is basically
took a list of assignments from last um month and then create like a little worksheet and um so far we have station light and sounds are confirmed. They're working with the band organizing what
they need finally because I think the military band that you recommended is is you know they're active duty so they they cannot be just playing music. they're they're doing their military activities. So, but they finally, you know, I text him and said, "Please
answer answer to get in touch with uh like Apex Pearl." So, they're they're working on it. They provided a list of songs. >> Felicia, may I let it go when we get the discussion cyber? So basically I think uh if you
checked you know the list that we have the DJ is confirmed master ceremony is going to be William for the veterans committee the live is the 13th band the national anthem is going to be sung by somebody from their band it's a man or a
woman uh sponsorship package uh Elsa did a great job um it >> report of this or >> huh you want me to report on the sponsor >> um basically you know, you can start filling out. Do you have the form? >> No, I have a form. I passed that.
>> Okay. Can you give her the form so we can know the amounts? >> Um, so she's been getting different sponsors. How many do we have? And now Renee Garcia is Wait, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Here's a list. Sorry, I didn't have this. >> Okay, so we have one, two, three, four,
five, and with with we have C6. >> Yes. And then pending the grand companies which they said they will sponsor that will be seven will be seven. So we have so far seven and we're having an ad in the paper that we finally finalize it and hopefully uh
that will have more sponsors. It's going to be the June 19th issue. So hopefully we'll get anybody else on this account. >> Yeah. So we're looking at $16,000 in sponsorship pending the grand companies. Considering
the amount of time it was hard. >> Yes. >> But we need to start early. I think what happened this time was that they were trying to get the money for the stage and that delay the the sponsorship package. So that sponsorship package has to be done.
So we have enough time. Luckily, like uh thanks to Elsa and everybody's effort, we were able to because we needed we had the flyer done, but we only had one sponsor Baptist and we said, "No, we need more because that way people see their name and and entices other people
to to become sponsors." So, we were lucky that uh that got done. Um so, um I don't know if we have the latest flyer because I know we had the ad. You know if the fly is ready? >> I I don't know. >> I I think the councilman like three of
them already posted it on their >> Oh, really? I don't have I have a copy of the the adoph they they they changed something. >> So, okay. So, basically The next item,
the food for trucks, we have Oscar finally confirmed and he provided like a list of trucks and food. As far as the latest from miles, emails, we have 15 trucks. I can pick the trucks. Um, here's a copy
there with everybody of the layout of the park. And uh I only have one copies shared with you already. That's the only
copy I have there. Oh no, I have one. So basically that's this is the I'll try to send it to you because I cannot send it to you but as part of the commit. Uh basically the trucks are going to be like always on this side and this side.
Uh now we have to find out where to relocate or locate that booth. The photo booth is zone is back here. Um Mary Collins the sensory is going to be back here. That's basically the same thing we do
every year. So activity zones sponsor areas the booth I guess will go along this side and side. So my whole >> Yeah. Thank you. >> I think that's similar and a half >> and um >> basically like I said the food trucks
are going to be run by Oscar and then Employ Market Group Diego is going to do the beer and wine garden and he's going to have also have booths at patriotic island. The one time that they did the photo they did it right to the right of the
stage left when you're facing the stage is to the right. That was the because all the electrical and everything is right there. That's where they had it about two years. >> That's where we should put this. You agree you want to do the booth but booth.
>> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Even um children's games. >> Uh I think you provided a list. It was all I think we ordered already. >> Yes. >> They already ordered. >> Yeah. So yes, I sent it to
>> historic displays which is basically I guess uh the backdrops that we're doing for the pictures reenactment. Uh anything >> I I got a a no. We can't do it from um >> the theater. >> The theater. Yeah. They said they they didn't they couldn't find the people who
were willing. >> Oh, there was somebody that your grandma said that she >> I contacted Yeah, I contacted them. They don't do that's not really what they do. Oh, >> they dress up like um like Star Wars characters and
>> No, no, we can we can we still have a couple of what it two three weeks. >> Yeah, I'm going to try some other avenues to see if I can make it happen. I mean, I don't think it's going to make or break the >> No, we can just order these guys from Amazon and we can dress up and walk around
like a fan. >> I better find somebody. threatening us with a bad >> so we I mean that's the only thing I think is pending is is the historic display and reenactments which is Justin >> how about the youth group the youth u
committee the youth t youth task whatever >> whatever the task force >> yeah the yf yeah maybe we can get some of the young people to dress up with that that was the whole idea Yeah. Yeah. I mean, who's the chair now? And she said, "We'll help out." I don't think
she's going to be here on the fourth, he told me. >> Okay. >> But maybe we can get them to do it. The idea was to get them involved and and for them. >> So, you know, the collaboration that we're covered. >> I like that. >> Um,
>> also somebody's thinking. >> Uh, and then the truck. Uh we we requested it. Uh I said requested it but she never got any feedback from them. So um I'm I'm kind of like behind it too because they
wanted for the not the 4th of July but the veterans but this is something part of the 450 what is it 250th anniversary. So I'll get on it as soon as I can and work with Clar because she's the one that did it.
But they're not going to be there for the 4th of July. >> No, but it's something that we could advertise it and say we're going to have it, you know, in for the veterans uh parade. Um the vent flyer is done. Uh the the ad is done. So that part is
complete through the chair. >> Yes. Is there a chance to do some posters that we could put them along Main Street uh with the merchants to have the posters >> advertising the the flyer like we do when we do our festival
>> we did that a few years back. >> Yeah, >> that's what I'm saying. >> So, as long as the the the flyer has all the the logos because that's the one that we use for the newspaper. Uh I'll find out. You can find out for us.
>> We don't want to do the posters. We could enlarge the flyer. >> We can we can talk to Matthew Matthew because he did some for the Main Street live one. So maybe he can help us with a good idea. >> Yeah. >> Yeah.
>> Because people see it. They walk main street. They walk all the different areas and they see it and it's good. They display it on their windows. Like I said, we we need to put >> I already mine out. >> It's basically Okay. Fantastic. So,
basically is I'm going down the list of the task um the red flag is done. Children's activities proposal invoice review that's done collaboration with the town committees. Again, we can see if we can get the youth task force and
anybody else um tentative event timeline post. I know they told us to just follow the woman. >> I saw it. You had it torment timeline. >> So basically it's is expensive because
the town does a lot of standards. I think I showed this to you last time in our last subcommittee >> and and told us basically to to uh focus on this part here >> which is you know the 6:40 6:30 actually
6:00 6:00 yeah 6:00 till 9:30 when everything ends 10:00 fireworks concludes at 9:50 6:30 so basically is getting this finalized.
A lot of stuff is done with the town and the all this stuff has been done. Stay sponsored by sponsor. So we have all that in here. So a lot of this thing has been filled out already. So basically it's getting uh I'm going to
get in touch with u to give them the final time which I think is the same as last year. It's just coordinating everything, right? And yeah, we have what? What is it? Uh we have how two weeks, three weeks? Three weeks left. >> Yeah.
>> So, um I think we're on track. We're doing pretty good. And now a lot of people want to participate, which is awesome. We didn't have this before. So, I'm very happy. So, um let's see what's the next item. timeline review or the committee
collaboration is having um again the youth task force or anybody else like especially me is getting involved too so they're they're part of the >> um you're going to be there >> not I'm setting up I'm not going to be there
for the actual time frame >> okay so okay great um any questions any I guess we need to vote for to have uh this gentleman bring his photo photo booth and photo whatever. Um I'd like to
make a motion to have him involved and participate. >> I second >> with a backdrop >> with a backdrop >> that is with the theme of the 250th anniversary. >> Yes. >> Because that's important. That's >> important. That's
what it's all about. >> Second the motion. Second. >> Okay. Scott can go >> it will be ideal that they have your 250 logo and so forth. Um but even if it
doesn't I still think that you need you know it's a no cost >> they're going to be dressed in uniform very patriotic >> and I'm sure whatever else they can bring in whether it's the eagle the flag or whatever it is is still very commemorative so have patience
>> see how big it is. So regardless of the matter, I think it should be a goal, >> right? And they'll be selling. So that's where they're going to get their money. >> Everybody wants to make a connection, >> right? >> So So um >> so I thought >> in favor
against Okay. I'll I'll let them know that we approve and have them have a move there. >> Uh could we ask the what's your name? England. >> Yeah. Could you send a copy of the fire out to our email so we can send it out to other people if you don't mind?
>> Yeah. The fire of the 4th of July with all the sponsored logos in there. >> Okay. I I can request it. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Because we have we have information that sent to Linda the you know the lady but it's a narrow one. That's a really good
>> and we can send it out to uh the people that we want a different flyer. >> I'm just curious. It's just a curious question. Are we making any food accommodation for the 13th Army marching band? >> We always do. We always do.
>> I'll take care, but I I'll follow up with her. Yes. >> Have we had a motion to have plans? >> Yeah, we she always does that. >> Yeah. >> Leave it without us. >> She planners. She always has planners. Oh, is that the way it works? Yeah. The same way that I get the food.
>> Yeah, public. The same way that I get the food. >> Okay. black people, >> but it's it's devoted particularly to just themated to them. >> They put behind the state. >> So, >> so uh Noah was mentioning that we do
want a different flyer. He was saying you want a different flyer. >> It was too wide >> because this was too narrow. >> Something that is >> Yeah, that one with a >> Exactly. That's what he mentioned. who want the updated flyer >> 8 by 10 >> because this one only has baptis.
>> Right. >> Mhm. Right. >> So you want an updated one that's not narrow by >> 10 8 and 12 by 11 which is the normal one that we have >> or 11 by 14 >> or
that one 11 by 14 is is much of a bigger >> longer. No, >> we can get we can get someone to to help with that because I know for the like I said for the main street live they did some for us that he was supposed to main street. >> Okay.
>> That's economic development. Well, we can get them involved in this. >> Okay. Who's going to contact them? >> I I'll I'll contact Matthew. He needs to have the copy >> the copy so he can
>> I'll see if I can get tomorrow. >> Yeah, the sooner the better. >> Yeah. >> I mean, this this event doesn't need to be advertised. Everybody knows about >> Yeah. >> But it's always good to advertise and to probably get more sponsors. >> Don't forget to advertise the fishing tournament. >> Yes. Fishing
>> because we only have 23 people. >> I know. >> Yeah. We need to we need to advertise that and that has to go. Yes. Okay. Any other questions on the July 4th event? >> I have a question.
>> Yes. >> When we do get the flyers from Matthew or or the little, you know, paper posters, whatever he's going to do, tell him not to do foam, please. Just do either the cardboard or the or paper because the phone is hard is hard. Um,
should we kind of do our own little committee that we go out there to Main Street and whatever to the merchants and and and take >> We used to do that long ago, but I have the flyers. They would print 30 30 copies or 40 copies and we just go around and hand them out.
>> Okay. >> Send them to the schools. >> I'm willing to volunteer to walk, you know, the main street or the everybody takes a different shopping center. Yeah. And then make sure that you take tape with you. If they tell you, yeah, go ahead and put it on the window. You do
it for it immediately. >> Yeah. Okay. So then >> Oh, good idea. >> I kind of Felicia, you want me to kind of coordinate when we have that? So everybody gets a different >> shopping. No, what we would normally do
is, you know, Alice Smith prints for us. She's usually stack on the front desk and you come and pick them up. >> Okay. But then we assign different children. >> Normally that's again that's what we used to do a long time ago is um you pick the the area that you want to do
and then just let us know so we don't repeat. >> Okay. I have a list of the shopping centers. >> Okay. >> You want to make the list? >> I have you have it already. That's what we did for the our festival all the time about the five shopping centers. >> Guess what?
>> Sounds good. Main Street. Uh, >> I I'll let everybody know once we have those. >> I'll know because in case we we don't want to break the sunshine. >> Um, does anybody need to fill one of these out? Because you just gave me a copy and

>> supposed to have different things. >> Yeah, I think >> remember the idea is to do the art the balloon so it becomes like a little play area, >> right? >> And I'm sure >> we could there but we have to see how it's going to look because it's it's
going to require a tent. >> I'm sure she's not going to have a 250 year ball. >> Yeah, >> I don't think she's going to come up with that. >> No. No. And maybe I'll set >> um tablecloth something. Make sure that
she's >> we we need to find out more. I think >> Yeah, I think so, too. >> I mean, I >> She was requesting booth space. She needs a booth. She needs with a tent. Yeah. >> Does she have a table and chair? That's >> a tent. Yeah. >> Well, a booth,
>> you know. So, can we can we, >> you know, tentatively approve what she wants to do and then find out more? I I don't like approving something, but I'm not sure what we're approving. >> I think a table >> attending.
>> Yeah. Okay. >> I'll make a motion to approve I guess the articles request. Paint it forward. >> That's what it's called. >> Okay. Feed it forward. >> Face forward. Uh move second.
>> Okay. Seconded discussion. Okay. All in favor? I against. Okay. Let's let's see what she can provide in this. It's very, you know, sketchy. >> I don't think it's a big deal. She can't which is >> Yeah. Yeah. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. >> Okay. Anything else? Let me see if they
have been bombarded with a bunch of emails and stuff. >> If anything, she's paying the kids. >> Yes. The kids. Okay. has already approved the military booth and I think uh what was the other one? Okay, so next
item music for America. I think we approved the invoice from the last I don't know if they already signed the the the contract but uh I mean we approved the amount which is the same as last year. So, I'll check with Isabella to see if
they already got the the contract signed. Um, we have time for our next meeting and then promote it. I mean, has been approved. So, um, that's basically what we for the music of America 15. Hopefully, we'll get the same musician.
It's going to be beautiful like last year hopefully. And then, um, any questions on this one? On the music of America? No, let's move on to the next one. Uh, book talk. Elsa. >> Okay. You keep putting September 10th. It's not the 10th. It's September 17th.
>> I'm sorry. >> Because the old date was September 10th, but it's the 17th. >> 17. >> Um, well, my budget is $98. So, um, I've been able to get, um, uh, Elizabeth is super excited about this.
She's spreading the word. You saw the little video that she put together. A beautiful person. I already have her book. I have to start reading it. Um, whenever we do open it up to event, bright, we're talking about the book talk.
>> I would like to maybe cap it at 100 >> because I know the word is going to get around and I don't know. I don't know how the committee feels, but I think we should just cap it at 100 to be able to control the drink and the food and all of that, you know.
>> Um, so I did get already Uh basically her parents are going to fund the food. >> So they're going to fund the food. So basically the committee would only have to help us with the bottle of wine and the procco like we've done before in the past.
>> So that way if everybody brings one bottle and then I could just go ahead and buy the the the cups and and the little plates and then you know I will be within my $98 but
Not an additional $2. No, >> I saw everything. Super excited about this. >> Oh, and thank you, Tinette. Donated the 10 books. Thank you. >> Wonderful. Wonderful. >> Um, you might need tickets for the raffle, but we are going to have
probably leftovers from >> leftovers from before. >> I have a roll now for the fishing. >> Oh, you Oh, okay. Then you know once you finish the fishing tournament then give them to me and I'll hold on and then I give them to you. >> Perfect. >> Okay. >> So what time do you want to stay? 6:30.
>> That's way off. >> Oh yeah, definitely. 6:30. >> September. What time? >> Yeah. To be there. >> Uh I thinking at least an hour before. >> What do we put in?
>> We put 6:30 to be there by 6. Yeah. 6. Yeah. >> And this is the 17. >> The 17. My apologies. I did this >> basically on my phone. >> No, it's because that was the old date, but there was a conflict with my face. Yeah.
>> Is it possible we could have given Elsa some money uh like 500 bucks just to have it? Make sure that >> she doesn't I hate for the I know the family want to do that, but if we could do it, I think it would be better if we have if we have the money. Where do you
drink it from? >> Well, I don't know. Uh, you know, we gave the Hispanic 3,000. They need all that. >> Yeah. >> What were they going to do? What were they going to do if we hadn't had the 3,000?
>> They have to cut down a lot of >> less less dancing. >> The food. I know that you mentioned that the parents are providing the food. What? >> No, no, no, no. They're giving me the money and then I'm ordering the food
>> from Yes. >> Oh, planners from Vicky Bakery like we did last year. They worked people like something simple finger finger finger foods >> because at that time, you know, some people have already >> we don't have a theme for the but it's a
regular >> it's a regular family thing. >> Yeah. you know, they're going to give me the money and then I'll go ahead and I'll bring >> let's make sure that they get the >> you know the promotion that their donations I don't know how we're going to fly but
>> bring the money for the food and you also buy the plates with that money. >> I from last year I have >> I have napkins. >> You have plates left over? >> I I have plates at home. I can
>> No, no, no, no, no, no. Let me let me look almost fine. Thank you. Hispanic Heritage is now $6,900. >> No, >> it's about 6,900. 6,900. 6900.
>> Where's 900? >> Where's the 900 from? What you >> Because it says here on the uh >> the things 3,900. >> You had 900. You had 3,000. We moved 900 >> to it. And now we move. We're gonna move
another 3,000. >> Where did we get the 900? >> Yeah, right here. Oh, no. Yeah, right here. Right here. >> Yeah. I thought it was only this was the the uh and then it was Yeah. >> Oh, no. This is a 3900 is requested. No, it's an amended budget.
>> It's an amended. >> Yeah. Amended. >> It's right here. >> Yeah. Yeah. Right here. I have it on this one, too. >> It's a little Yeah. So in other words, uh the budget was 3,000 >> and we is 3900.
>> Yeah, >> we moved 900 from where >> that's doing an adjustment. >> Maybe we moved it from the AR bash. >> I don't know. >> I don't >> we spoke about that. >> I'm just curious because now your budget
6,900. What I want to hear what's that entail of? Mhm. >> You want me to go ahead and give update on Hispanic? >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> So, Hispanic Heritage um we discussed and now it's being moved to the newer
side of Main Street um by Chelas in front of Chelas in front of the old um Estrega location. So, taking off over both sides. Um >> we're going to close the street. >> In theory, that's the the concept. Yes.
grams are it's a process be getting answers on these but yeah that's the idea um so but you're going to have you have all the paths in front I don't know if you guys can >> so you have all the paths kind of set up there the big grassy area next to each other is where we're going to have the
main stage um so larger performers and then we're going to have a smaller stage um on the opposite side um >> yeah because I remember when I saw the one at the south Miami art festival, they were really far away from each other.
>> I mean, it's the the question comes down to how big the event gets and that also comes down to how many vendors we end up getting to confirm, right? So, if we get enough vendors to confirm, then I can take the event down the street up to um town hall, which is would be ideal.
>> Yes. Mhm. >> Um, but having said that, there's been some things with vendors because the town is requiring a certain amount of insurance and and things and some of these vendors are saying that it's too much for them and what they're going to make. So, that's been the issue that
I've been having with people confirming. So, I'm just trying to go around that. But, it's >> is insurance. I'm sorry. Per vendor. >> Per vendor. >> Per vendor. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Every vendor has to provide insurance that ensures the grams and the town of Miami Lakes and then also pay
the fee which we're charging $100. So, >> which Yeah. But so if there you have to think about just told me if I'm selling a sticker for three bucks and I'm ending up paying, you know, she said that the insurance looks like it'll probably be around 250
>> so 350 would be there. She's selling a sticker. I mean, you have to sell a lot of stickers to to make >> Yeah. thing to make it make sense, right? >> So, that's the issue that I'm having with vendors. Um, but we'll see. Um, Chelas has already confirmed they're
super excited. They're going to do um a cooking demonstration for us at the event and they're also going to show people how to make a certain cocktail. Um, so they're excited. Um, I got Asai Express, they're going to be involved as
well. Um um we Dr. Leone is a possibility as well to be selling food at the event. >> So obviously all these food vendors are going to be selling their food. So probably selling something that's special to them um that represents the
country that they represent. Um we have um some performers that have come um local dance >> ballet. So they have um performers that do uh flamnco um salsa
>> tango. So they're going to be >> Columbia. >> So they're going to be representing different countries in that. Um we also have sport and dance academy that'll also be performing. So we'll split that up between different performers. Um we've talked about the Spanish guitarist is very inexpensive. We'll probably be a
smaller performer. Um what else is going on? Um um >> could I ask meanwhile? So the 6900 is mainly for entertainment because we're not doing any food. >> Correct. Yeah. So it's going to be mainly for entertainment. Um we just did
I just heard from Isle today that um Miami Dade County is says that they can provide the staging for us. Um and they have the availability for all their stages. So, we can probably get them to provide the stage and then we could just up the ante on the stage by adding, you
know, lighting and that kind of thing to the stage and maybe like a nice backdrop that says, you know, the Borefest on it, >> right? >> Sound system. >> And then obviously we need sound and um the thing is the guy that we use for our
>> he does sound too, but he only provides lighting. So, um, I'll give you his name and I told him that, you know, because he's good, he's very reliable. >> So, reach out to him to see if he can make a date with me. >> Perfect. Yeah. So, if we can use those stages from there, we'll save so much
money on that aspect cuz that was going to take up so much of our budget was just a stage. So, now that we know that's a possibility, I want to try to secure those so that we know that we have those. Um, and then hopefully get >> stage or two. >> Two stages. >> Awesome.
>> Yeah. Yeah, that's at least $900 a piece. >> Yeah. I mean that they have a big they have a really big $1,000. >> Yeah. >> How much is the stage? >> See, I mean those quotes that I work I'm actually having someone come out to give
me quotes on stage and just as a backup. Um but it's going to be expensive. >> Yeah. The space that we use for the main street live which is 80 by 24 because it fits in the space that we have is 900. No, actually no. 600 something. 900 is
the like >> Yeah, but that's small for performers. >> Yeah. >> They need a bigger. >> Yeah. So, um also want to do a a kids area. So, the kids will be um decorating their passports and the idea is to kind
of get passports stamped around the different Hispanic culture. >> Disney. Yeah. >> And then um also >> I have a friend have a friend who's gonna be providing um the artists. Um he has like 30
artists that he works with, different kinds of art. Um and the idea right now is that hopefully if they don't rent out the space of Losta that all the art is going to be displayed within Lraga, so people will be able to go inside and look at it, they can purchase art from
the artist um and also see. >> Yeah. And then if not, the backup is town hall, but I would prefer let's make it close. >> Town is going to be a distance. We're going to be at a distance.
>> Yeah. So, the only way that town hall would work is if we had so many vendors that it backed up. >> It's always renting a space, but the corner right there m across from Francisco is empty. >> Yeah. So, >> Oh, yeah. That one is empty. The only
thing we have to cross the street connected. >> I mean the traffic the traffic kids crossing the street. >> Yeah. >> Ideally if they do a block like a block party remember by law >> by by law we cannot block because that's
a deputy uh hallway. We cannot Main Street is a private street but 67 is a public. >> No 67 you can. No, no, no. We don't we begin blocking Main Street
between the house and Shellas all the way to >> Tall. >> No, no, no. To where Shella ends. So, you would have like a T. It's going to look like almost like uh you know, let's say 67th Avenue, right?
>> They don't close it for Cinco de Mayo. No, no, they don't. >> So assuming this is 67 >> and this is the other street where the building start, right? >> Oh, you mean like behind the >> This is the parking building.
>> This is the actual parking, right? >> Yeah, the parking. >> Yeah. if they were to close here and like so it would look like we have >> no one can turn into like a team we have >> all the side because I mean the the
Italian restaurant there's nothing going on so this street right here will be the the patio so it would look something like this >> yeah the idea is >> closer >> that is the idea >> closer Yeah. Yeah.
>> To get back here, they could actually >> to get back here. They could come through >> Yeah. >> um FedEx. They could come through >> Yeah. The other one >> in the association. >> Yeah. The other one. >> I mean, there's so many different ways. This street is almost like a dead street. >> Yeah. It's for
>> So ideally >> for stage purposes stage purposes >> a stage facing out this way. >> Yeah. >> Facing out towards the light. >> Exactly. >> And then you have the stage here. You
have all the art. Where >> all the art you have a stage here like they do at the um Carl Gables when they do the >> gables on the mile. >> Right. Miles on Yeah. >> Yeah. the for the for the rich, right?
>> So So you have the stage here. So the crowd stands here. They could walk over here, walk over here, and then on the grass, you have another stage. >> Yeah. Separate >> or cigar vendor vendors. You have whatever vendors we're going to have, we
have them on the grass. >> Yeah. Again, it all depends on the grams. So I just want to put that out there because everything >> because no one on on on Shella's no one goes out this door. >> I hear what you're saying. So you're just saying put another st instead of putting the stage on on this side which
is again >> I I'm thinking everything to as what I possibly can do and what's going to work with what I what I can get permission with because everything that we're doing is I have to ask not only the town but I have to ask the grants
>> and so it's double permission for everything. >> So >> that's why I had it on this side. I understand what you're saying closing the street. So if you can close the street, you can put it at the end. Yeah, for sure. >> We almost like a real block party like like a real and everyone has to walk
>> around the water fountain. People sit around. >> Shellas has the seats and all the other seats. >> So it becomes real like the real nice things. I like that idea >> because if we leave this this light open the people to stop all the time the kids
crossing. >> No, I agree 100%. >> And this is a dead >> they have to >> that's it. >> I hope you feel better. >> Go to my Dominican doctor. Let me know. No,
and we have to think about we have you have the parking behind the house and you have the garage, >> right? And then you also have the parking for people. >> Yeah. >> Or they could go across the street where Dunkin Donut is.
>> And what day is that? >> October 10, Saturday. So, Saturday, keep in mind Saturday has their own. >> Okay. So, perfect. >> Yeah. >> And then whoever wants to go to >> Yeah, but there's tons of parking. There's parking all around the back and
then all the other side. I'm not worried about the parking. I'm worried about >> So, >> yeah. Okay. Thank you. >> Anything else? Any questions? >> This is in progress. So, we, you know, we we give >> What kind of help to the committee? >> Um
committee like some things. So for obviously since there's two stages, we're going to have to have some people on each stage kind of checking in artists or or performers as they come in. Um that's one aspect. We're going to have to have people walking around too just making sure things are that you
know there's nothing crazy going on. Yeah. >> Um probably within the artist space having some presence in there as well to just make sure that's all good in there. So we're going to all have to be spread out in different areas this event.
>> Yes. >> And other expense would be police, right? >> Yes. So I asked about that. I'm waiting on the expenses. >> We we have the option for police, but we also have the option for security. >> Correct. So >> private security. Well, the thing was
>> there security, right? >> But that's a private seat and every time we do my main street live, they are there. >> They walk. Exactly. Yeah. >> So that was already requested from IO and um Isabella to check with the Grams if if that could be offered by them,
their security, you know, aspect of so that we didn't have to pay for >> Yes. Yeah. >> Now also the other question was clean up and that kind of thing. Oh yeah. >> Did we need to provide for that? I'm sure. >> So that's or would the Grams help us with that as well?
>> So that was already asked. I'm just waiting for >> Yeah. All of that is an expense. Yeah. >> All right. >> Fantastic. >> Um, okay. We got the van logistics. They're taking care of that. Oh, I got
my agenda. >> We're on new business. >> Uh, new business. Uh, proposal. >> It's really quick. Um, I've been I've been talking to some artists and they're we're trying to see if we can do some
kind of uh art registry. So the old artists, local artists can register and then we can sort of like like what he's doing with Hispanic Heritage have like artist plays and and so forth but getting our local artists involved and
um and all their you know potential artists. So because we do have a musician an artist registry already but most of them have been musicians. So I think uh we could create some kind of call for artists or whatever and then
start spreading the work because we do have artists and we want them involved and participating in in the exhibits because even with the main street live we we want to have artists there so people can listen to the music and we have areas where they can come and and see art is is is getting but we need to
get the word around and maybe do that do it separate separate from musicians because we're not getting the artist we're getting musicians. So, that's something I'm going to check out about. Um, I don't know if we need to make a motion to approve this. Um, but I make
it anyway. I make a motion to create a sing single artist registry so we can separate them. So, I make that motion. >> We can separate them in different categories. >> No, actually what we have right now is
the artist and musicians register. So what we have been getting is mostly musicians, not artists either. We we split them and then have musicians registry and artist registry. So all the artists will go to one place and it's easier to I guess to
>> identify them >> identify them. >> So I don't know if we voted for that one before for the registry, but I'll make a motion to create an individual artist registry. >> Yeah. How is the registry title now? >> It's called that the musicians and
artists registry. >> Okay. So, it's both of them. So, separate though. >> I want to separate them because that way there's more it's easier to to know who's there, I guess. And then we have to check without because actually I don't have the latest one for the musicians. I mean, they've been a lot of
them that have been that want to participate with with our concerts. But yeah, I think we need to separate them because it's two different kind of, you know, art and music. So, um, so we second it. >> Second.
>> Okay. Uh, discussion discuss. All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. Thank you. Um, I'll ask to to break it into two. And then collaboration. This is a real quick one. Um as as you know we our uh Christmas to
see if we can get out um our Christmas uh >> book talk >> book talk is getting very expensive. >> Yes. >> And we know that um youth activity task force does have a holiday event and I think it would be good if we can collaborate with them. They do have a
Mrs. Claus and a Santa. I don't know if they have someone who's telling stories, but um I have to talk to them to see what is it that they do so we can because they have movies and they have all kinds of activities for kids and we don't want to duplicate that. I mean, they're doing Christmas and we're doing
Christmas. So, it's it saves a ton of money, too. If we can, you know, join together and do something. Of course, they do it at night and ours and we've been having trouble getting >> Yeah. getting people to attend and this is close as expensive you know
>> she's pray and all that but >> let's see let me let me talk to you see how we can you know how they can for how we can help >> oh I make a motion >> okay make a motion
>> okay I'll make a motion that we incorporate our Christmas event with the youth task Yes. Instead of having the book reading by Mrs. Cross >> second discussion.
>> Are they on board with that? >> Huh? >> Are they willing to do that? >> They'll find out. >> They're going to have >> Yeah. They're going to say no to us. I mean, we're to, you know, if we if they have
an expense for that. >> But, you know, >> well, we can't share too much expense. Last question. >> How is that benefiting us? >> Because that money is going to go to the booktop in September. >> Yeah. Because remember
that we want >> So, so by doing that, we save money to allocate to book talk >> to the bookings. >> Yes. We help them. We help them a little bit, but we help ourselves too. Correct. Because we she only has $95. Then if we
don't do this then basically we have to get rid of the spot. >> Yeah. >> So trophies more uh brings more people. >> Yeah. More, you know, they feel like troll. >> Oh, because they're already bringing Mrs. Cross and Santa Claus, you know. So
why, you know, the same duplicate >> duplicate? Yes. >> But let's see what what they offer. I've seen them, but I'm going to do >> Yeah, they're good or whatever. Let's just figure something. Okay. So, all in favor
>> I Okay. Again. Okay. Who cares? >> Okay. Um, great. Okay. Any announcements? Anybody? >> No. Okay. Uh, make sure that uh >> who's going to be on the 4th of July? Who's coming from the committee? >> Oh, who's going to be there? That's
right. It's going to be there. Um, I'll be there. >> Anybody else? >> Raise your hand. >> Okay. please be there and uh we'll talk more you know coordinating the the final things. So >> but through the chair because last year
I didn't know what to do. Can we have like a designated responsibility? So >> I think we can have a booth at a table. >> Uh but um we'll we'll definitely because we we're more involved this year than last year
>> because we're actually the >> city right and yes so uh yeah we passed out. Thank you. We did a lot of things the kids paint on and another one planning the the the photo op and and so forth. I know the food trucks are on
their own but but we'll we'll get organized on that soon. >> Announcements of fishing tournament. >> Oh, the fishing tournament. Well, that's part of >> Please spread the word. >> We have the fishing tournament. >> Yeah. All right. I think they should be too.
>> Okay, Charles, Elsa, >> I'll do it for you. >> Justin, so it's one, two, three. >> Okay, we'll we'll uh we'll be there having fun like always. >> Okay. Uh our next meeting is going to be June July 8th. I'm sorry. I hope it's
the right date. Uh okay, >> it is. It is. Okay. I had a motion to >> make a motion to adjourn and not
