>> well uh we can talk about that after actually. >> I mean we'll talk about the report which is basically um you know we're here then we talk about earlyation again. There's nothing to hold on. So is anyone from the public uh who would like to well
excuse me I'm sorry. Item uh three order of business deferrals. Well, there's nothing I I I know, but I'm still still got it. >> So, not motion, but >> right. Unfortunately, there's not that we can do there. So, we'll move on to item four, public comments. Anyone from
the public would like to speak? Yes, sir. >> Approves are yours. Please state your name and your address for the record. >> Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Uh Carlos Andre 14530 times tab. Um here on behalf of public safety, uh thank you
for the opportunity. Um I've been actually speaking um I want to say to uh Marro now for some time about doing a um an event together with public safety. Uh this was an event that actually was approached to me by uh a business about
a year ago um related to shredding and you know what I meant to business was and this is a good friend that approached me with this idea. I said, "Hey, look, you know, um we should probably do this around Earth Day." Uh just because, you know, shredding, recycling was all encompassing with with
Earth Day. Uh Earth Day uh land, I believe, on 422 um and public safety when we reported the council, we brought this idea uh to them um in our reports council back in January. Uh again this is the mission that we've been tasked with uh at the
committee level where we have to you know work with our peer committees uh to do joint uh events. Um and you know this was a great idea. Uh so the idea that that we have in public safety is to do this on Saturday April 18th from 9 to 12. Uh this would be a partnership with
the farmers market and uh we have now um shred force uh which uh again they will be um you know going through accepting uh documents shredding them you know making sure that it's safely shredded. Uh we have another vendor that we've
been speaking to by the the name of escrap. Uh they take your batteries your uh laptops um you know and and recycle them the correct way. We have had success with speaking to solid waste. Solid waste has agreed to be at the
event with their mobile unit. Uh they will be talking about their different events that they have throughout the year at the PSN which is our nearest uh uh you know site for garbage and recycling like you know the uh chemical event they have you know at least twice a year. Um and you know this is a a good
opportunity uh for the farmers market to you know uh bring more folks there or get folks from the farmers market to participate and also get some more people to shop on Main Street. I know Felicia Salazar is present here. We're very passionate together about you know the main street uh merchants. Um and now
we're trying to get uh a third vendor uh to participate when it comes to clothing you know so get you know people to donate their clothing. I've had some uh uh you know trying to get a hold of Goodwill but I've had some bad luck. I don't know if good, bad, will, I don't know, maybe the name's going to change in the near future. Uh, but we we'll
hopefully get someone soon. So, you know, the idea is that, you know, right now we have, you know, both of these vendors are willing to do this work at $200 uh a piece uh because they they're paying overtime, you know, for these individuals. Obviously, you know, public safety is here to assist with those, you
know, those expenses. You know, I know that you were talking about budget. We can talk about that uh or whatnot, but um I thought it would be a great partnership uh to do this with the neighborhood improvement committee and um uh I' I've already contacted actually I I copied Isabella and I've spoken to
them in person to the Grahams to make sure that we have no issues with using that parking lot because the idea is that we want these trucks to be obviously stationary. People will be coming in on Bull Run closer to the Metawok apartments. So, they'll be entering that way. Uh there'll be volunteers helping the residents unload their vehicles with any
of these items and then they'll be exiting uh by uh the farmers market or they'll be parking and walking across the street the farmers market or shopping on Main Street. So I'm here and available for any questions you all might have. >> What's the name of the event? >> Back to nature. >> Back to nature.
>> Make comment. I'm very happy that we're always trying to get the NIC involved in the U Earth Day and this is an opportunity we try to do it one time with the lake awareness you know make it part of you know so I think this is very
fitting thank you >> yeah and the reason why public safety got involved is because the whole shredding component and then it kind of grew from there and h how how would safety have to do with shredding uh like you know for example tax returns Yeah,
you have to properly get rid of documents in a safe way. >> It's not safe like safety crossing across the street and getting run by, you know, it's safety of also personal information and that kind of stuff you guys oversee >> theft all that kind of security,
you know. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So that's what >> I always thought the public safety was more something that had to do with traffic other than but no it's a more broad umbrella >> you know coincidentally you know this this was just again you know it was the
the safety component gets you know wrapped in there but this was just a friend that you know sees me involved and said hey you know this will be a great idea right >> we figured again it was just going to be a shredding event but then he started showing me what he does with other municipalities and how successful these events are and the different services
and uh he's a Miami Lakers. >> It's let me tell you for for Miami Lakers that have a lot of uh um home businesses and offices, this is a great event because it does cost you a lot to shred this. It does, >> you know. So, >> is there a limit?
>> The the limit is the hours. >> So, >> I can show up with 17 bags of paper. >> Yeah. I'm telling you that that's to that for some of these people here it's this is a beneficial place because I know for you they do it by the box or by
the uh by the dumpster by the trash can >> and it's it's gets expensive. >> Yeah. I paid $40 a box. >> Oh >> yeah. Well big box but nonetheless a box. >> Right. Right. Okay. Awesome. Great sake. What I did is I put it here >> on the report so that when it comes time
to know what she's working on. >> Yeah. >> Uh I have a question. How can we support as a as a committee or what's the what's the ask? >> Well, essentially the the idea is that your logo will also be on this flyer and
we'll be using, you know, u you know, this is >> really a lot with neighborhood improvements, you know, and and you informing the residents about lake awareness. I saw in your report you were talking about, you know, that as well environments >> Yes. And and and you know, the thing is
it's not stopping there. You know, for example, I keep I keep saying her name and her and her ears must be ringing, but we got to get Dy Wix involved. She's part of the gardening club. You know, it would be cool to have like a table for her there. >> Love Daddy. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, >> D is not the president anymore.
>> Well, who the No, >> she's part of the Garden Club. She's not the >> No, she's Som Castillo is the the new president. I can I can >> information she's helping us also >> on the because they're they're closing
the library on March 5th 25th >> and then they start remodeling and the cow they do the landscaping making. >> Okay, neat. >> So you know they're all aware of that and and we want to make sure that nothing has damaged or that we have an artist who's going to redo the cow.
>> Yeah, we we had they had this event. >> Yeah, they had this event. They had a shredding event. It was just a shredding event. It wasn't around Earth Day a few years ago. And I think George said they had about maybe 30 cars that showed up, you know, for just shredding. So, um, you know, we can definitely probably do
do even better than that. >> Yeah. >> Now, the only thing is when it comes to motions as a committee, I don't know if because we're talking about, you know, and I don't know where you guys are at with budget because, you know, we're 200 for one. >> It's an easy question. It's an easy
answer. Yeah, we broke it. >> Uh, B R O K E broke. >> I think we're I think we're at a negative. >> You see what you see? You see where you're costing him, man? Look, look.
Look at where you tricking him, man. >> Definitely have to get a sponsor. >> Well, let's do let's do this. I know that another idea we were talking about Mario is the joint uh you know partnership with uh doing a public safety video related to the life rings
you guys just installed right >> maybe we'll talk about it then we'll take care of this event and maybe we'll talk you guys can take care of the other one >> and what what kind of funding exactly do you need >> $400 >> oh $400 >> yeah because it's 200 for one and 200 for another vendor
>> so 400400 >> yeah because it's pretty much the old team that we're paying for be there. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I'll definitely check on that. >> Yeah. >> And then and then, you know, I'll I'll run through my committee. We meet next week and see what they say about it, you know, and and uh I'm sure we can help
out, you know. I'll I'll discuss it with them. >> Listen. >> Yeah. >> Worst case scenario, how much money do we need? 200 bucks. Let's add it to the uh let's add it to the uh to the report. Absolutely. >> Okay. And we tell them, you know, when it goes out, we tell them, "Hey, we're working with this, this, and this, and
this. We need $200. You guys feel you feel sorry for us? >> Um, great. Give us 200 bucks. >> Yeah, >> we can do that. All right, let me put it in here. >> And then uh we needed 200 or 250 for the uh video. >> Yeah, the other one was 400 for the PSA,
but this one was related to like a a video. We wanted to do a few things, right? Wanted to show the public, you know, where the life rings are. Okay. Is this And Marlo, you're probably better to talk about this than than I am because I know you had an idea of how to do this and and getting the fire department involved. >> Correct. So, we would we just need the
budget for that video is $400. So, we would need another 200. So, I'm told we need 400. >> So, great. Let's let's ask. Come on. >> Listen, it's a piece of paper. >> Got it. Hold whatever you want to put on. Okay. So, that's an extra line item. >> Yeah. >> So, let me just put it here.
>> Right. Felicia, let's keep that. I mean, and the public safety video is is basically showing everybody where the the life rings are, what to do with it with the uh uh the fire department, how, you know, how to properly use it. I don't have we'll have someone in the water. I do that whole demonstration.
That way people don't, you know, >> jump in the water. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I thought you said Felicia was in >> We just Felicia, how long ago? Swimming is not like like riding a bike.
You ever forget how to >> get it? Awesome by the way. >> Well, that's another initiative we're doing public. >> Yeah, it's huge. >> Public safety video. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And that one's >> request for
>> you. You can call it collaboration with public safety. Um, life rings public safety video. >> I want to make sure I I be quiet because I don't want to hijack your mic. >> No, no, no. You're good. We don't got anything to discuss. No, we're good.
>> It's a caliber collaboration with >> public safety. >> Public safety almost. So, public safety video. >> Yeah. Essentially, it's a public >> that's request $200, >> right? >> That's for $200.
collaboration with public safety committee. >> Adam Perry put Adam Perry. >> Yeah, >> that's a public safety video. So in that case, why don't I just put that? Let me just
I'm going to put it because we have that as the first item on the report, the Aiden Perry Hero Life Initiative. And then there I can put request to video. >> No, because I needed we needed to change it.
So get a chance, I'm going to show it to everybody that way. So it can be at any there's nothing we can approve anyway. So, a parent library public safety video request for $200 collaboration with public a safety committee.
>> Yeah. >> Yeah. Essentially, it's a PSA. >> And then and then the other one is >> back to nature. >> Back to nature also collaboration. >> So, request for $200.
We're back to nature events, right? >> Yeah. >> Make sure you don't tell the EDC about Felicia. >> Oh, sure you don't tell the EDC that it's sponsored. >> Yeah. I'm saying that because they wanted to help us marketing.
>> We put in money for our marketing as well. You did? >> Yeah. Has it worked? It's worked in the past. We did it for >> you. You need to have make sure that the money is allocated. Marketing is expensive. >> I mean, I I I mean, if I charge for all
the marketing that I do, I would be rich now. >> Well, then I think you should start charging. >> Never too late. >> I'm a volunteer by heart and they call it a philanthropist. >> There you go. All right. Well, thank you so much. Um, >> thank you, Carlo.
>> We appreciate the feedback. >> Wonderful. >> And information. We're definitely and I'm sorry that you came to ask of a broke committee uh you know >> that these were smallest budget right
>> we were at one point for a while but sorry you guys were going through that >> now that one of the previous uh chair persons person u he said one day uh we don't need to do we don't need that much
money we're looking at each that we do want because we have more money in this committee. >> Yeah. >> And we decided that no, we don't need it. >> Well, it definitely wasn't Rudy. >> It wasn't it was not me. So, all right.
Good deal. Thank you so much, man. I appreciate it. We'll definitely We report um April 21st um to council. >> At that point, that's where we're going to, you know, we'll be asking the funds. You need it prior to that. Well, through the chair in in this case, let's just
say something is approved. Would there be a transfer between committees? Let's just say it doesn't >> we don't have the money. There won't be any transfer will be transfer from the town to your committee. >> Do we even have you have budget fund? >> Yeah, we have we're in a negative now. Like I said, we owe money.
>> Well, that's going to be the carry forward for the 18th period. That that won't be negative. The carry forward hasn't happened yet because the last time you went to report for council, they got approvals. They carry forward their budget. That's what that negative is. Ignore the negative. It won't >> we can always next week. We'll come forward back plan.
>> Yeah. Yeah. >> Thank you for >> regardless. I'll try to see what we can find you sponsor. >> If anything, put put up front the cost and then you'll get reimbursed. This is part
>> and if a sponsor gets it, you just put it on their you put it on the flyer box or the constant. >> Well, like I said, you know, usually for the threading, they usually charge $1,200 and we want >> So, I can get you some. >> Yeah, we'll figure it out. But, you
know, I'm not worried about >> Thank you. I appreciate it, man. Okay. >> Thank you. All right. Have a good night. You too. Good night. >> You finished the manner. >> Yes. this morning. >> All right. Next. All right. Next item. Approval of minutes. Moving on. Nothing

refresher. So, if they're in violation of any of those rules, just bring it to our attention. >> This would be a right now. >> Okay. >> I mean, >> Isabella, could we also get the council to nominate or get some people on here? Oh, well I don't think there's been any
new application. I can check with the deputy town clerk, but usually they ask me like, "Hey, has anyone, you know, attended recently?" >> I know that in the past the deputy town clerk had um people that prior, you know, had interest in uh committees. I don't know if maybe she could reach out to them as well. Maybe they have some
interest. >> Okay. So, I'll see if there's been any new applications, >> but to my knowledge, there hasn't been >> any new or old >> ones. cuz I remember there was a time where we were packed and then people wanted to join and they couldn't join. >> That's a beautiful way. >> Yeah. You'd have to wait to join because
we were we were at capacity. >> That was that was pretty cool, >> right? Yeah. >> Well, you never know. Maybe they might have some interest. >> All right. So, I'm sending this over to you now, Helen. Um All right. So, I'm going to go over

It's the same exact template January to December. >> So, we basically have to submit two,
>> right? >> The one from last year, >> last year. Okay. So, so Helen. So, then I'm going to leave this one that says 2025. Okay. Just fill it in the last month here that I have the update. Um, so just
fill in the rest of the month for 2025 and then just change the year on the bottom to 2026 and then January, February, and March. >> Okay, sounds good. >> Now, why Javier was absent tonight, but
I know Jesus told me he had a conflict with another meeting. So, those are the reasons for today. Um, let me check if I have anything for the last one. Last month, Javier had a van with his kids. That's why she's
um, and these are what I have in my email, but And I'm sending this over now. Just confirm we got it. Let's take a look at it. Did you send that already? >> Yep.
>> Okay. I haven't gotten it yet, but I'll keep tracking. >> Should we move to the next item for now? >> Yes. Give me one second. Let me make sure. That was connected. >> Absolutely. >> I send this is what we're going to use

>> Yeah. Yeah. >> No. Okay. All right. Um, old business ways to beautify under the pomemetto. >> Got the report. send you that. >> Yep. >> Awareness and how to proceed with uh how
to protect our waterways. >> We sent your report. >> Yep. >> Report and I was just not the package that was attached here. There's a lot of similarities, but as well I said that even even though we're under the we can
all always if we're more stringent, we have I think we can do it. It's just that like the building code, you know, >> right? you know, it's a general building code, but each municipality can make it more stringent. I think it's because the county doesn't have as many lakes as we
>> I I agree with you, Felicia, but again, if we don't have some kind of enforcement on this, like this week, I seen uh uh make it to get on on the streets like >> the town doesn't want to >> the leaves. >> Yeah. No, a lot of I mean I my neighbor forgot he picks up the leaves for me
sometimes or my gardener and uh people keep blowing it into the They don't care. >> Okay. >> Cuz they don't read any of this stuff. But I still think that if we become more stringent, why they don't want to do the ordinance
we can do that, >> right? Uh green space near North 87. >> We got that. Uh Tammy Lakes uh historical tour from there.
All right. All right. So, that takes care of old business, new business, report to council. >> All right. So, I'm going to read just to make sure if we can um just go over the reports to make sure that we have a report for everybody. I'm going to go over the list that I have.
>> So, um excuse me. All right. For the membership roster, I have again Felicia, Helen, Aier, Jesus, Frank, Juan, Mario, and Rudy for the 2020
five 2026 budget. Right. >> Mhm. >> 2025, 2026 budget. The only items that we have with bonds are beautifification contest 750. I put HA here zero,
community bike ride zero. Um, total of 750 sounds about right. Then on future projects consideration, we have the first one, Aiden Perry hero life ring initiative. Then I put public safety video request
for $200. um collaboration with public safety committee. So on that one, Helen just basically um because you >> um the 27 21st
>> it's uh April 21st. So um let me see April 21st. Yeah, Tuesday. So on that date, same scenario. Mario is going to be there. Unfortunately, I won't be able to be there. There's um other

>> It's the 13th. I'm sorry. The 14th. When is it? >> No, it's the 20 The 21st. >> 21st. >> 21st. Um so when it comes to that which is the first item um of course Mario you just you know you the first portion of
it is not really much there when you get there Helen just kind of give an update of of where we at you know uh with it uh please thank you know uh the council on our behalf um you know for the support you know great um we we made the first
you know the cover page of the hero uh I mean sorry the Laker. Same thing, right? Um, so that was awesome. >> Even better. >> Yes. Right. Uh, so that was awesome. Just add on the caveat of, you know, the
$200 that we're asking for the vid, you know, for the video um in collaboration with public safety. So then the next one is way to beautify under the pomero. Do you have >> that would be Felicia >> um
This is you. >> Yes. >> Right. So, you recorded this meeting? >> I just did. >> Okay. >> Awesome. Well, no, that would be one. >> Now, Helen, let me ask a question. Do you recommend that we make use of the letter that we had last time, put something together brief so that we can
put it as part of the package or you want to just swing it? >> Which letter? >> Um, just for the um um the Aiden Perry because we're Yeah, we're adding reports. So maybe something short just to say. >> Yeah, I can I can put something together. That's fine.
>> Okay, just send it to Sabella so that way we can put a part of the package when she sends it to me. I'll put everything in. Don't >> like an update. >> Yeah. Yeah, like an update. Yeah, pretty much. >> And just add the part of the public safety video request of the $200.
>> Okay. And we're also um are we also adding the I don't I know we're not voting tonight on it and we don't um we haven't discussed it but the historical tour should we just mention it to them? >> Yep. I haven't Mario provided a report
on >> regarding the historical tour when we didn't remember u hold on hold on I don't want to deviate from let let me get to that item. Yeah. Yeah. No no I know what you brought up but I know you're going to whole discussion. It's here. Uh Heather, we're gonna go over it. Uh pretty has some stuff on, but I
do have it here and Mario submitted um >> something, you know, a report something on it, some memo, some information. So then the second item I have here is way to beautified under the pomero that was already um submitted
by uh one. Um then lake awareness, how to protect the waterways. Felicia already submitted something there. Yeah. >> Uh yeah, right here. >> Okay, good. >> Sure. Okay. Uh the next one is green
space near Northwest 87th Avenue. You have that? >> Yeah. Mario. >> Perfect. Great. Um T Miami Lakes Historic Tour. So Mario did submit something and then Felicia. What is it? You want to go ahead and say
>> I'm not as rude as them. Go ahead and say hi. How are you? All >> good. >> Are you good? >> How are you? >> We're lacking a meeting, sir. I'm good. >> Hi, everybody. >> Good to see you. Good. How are you? >> Yeah.
>> This is the biggest troublemaker here. >> You don't see. >> Have a good meeting guys. >> Thank you guys. Stop by and say hi. >> Of course. >> I'm sorry. You were saying? Yes, regarding that historic um >> tour, I remember we did it um and I've
been trying to reach out to JC Fernandez who's now our council member. I I gave the town the CD or whatever, not CD. I sent it through Dropbox of of the whole presentation which was very interesting
and I was, you know, we did it with the cultural affairs. We talked about the artifacts, the historic artifacts and I think it was a very successful tour. Uh whether we can duplicate that um and then we have more stuff, you know,
that's going on in the town since then. So I'm trying and I can't find them. Clarissa cannot find them. Jesse cannot find them. >> It's is information of the research that we did. If I may, we Another reason why we should do this is I remember that the
uh media person or whoever they got to collaborate uh to do the video or the whole show um at the end had some kind of issue with um I think it was Eddie or was JC where he took all that
information and did not provide us with it. So in essence we don't have they don't I don't think they have any other any >> No but I the presentation itself I did so the thing is that uh I cannot find it I have on a flash drive but I did send
it to JC and I sent it to our cell. So whether they stored it someplace in their computer, it's got >> it's got to be something. >> Somebody somebody has it. >> But I know the whole video that they did of the tour and all the information >> that we were going to play here in the
town like that's been lost. >> No, we can we can create a you know like a timeline >> a flyer. We have five images. Robert Escar, >> but the the media person that was going to do the video, >> right? That video that's out
>> that's out the way that we tried and we tried and we tried. >> You know who you know who you Willie. >> Willie was on this weekend. >> Maybe. Yeah, because we did it with Willie. Maybe he knows. >> I'll call him up. >> Maybe somewhere.
>> I'll have >> I just looked right now and and and the last thing I have here from 2019 is on that specific matter is the flyer. I do have a flyer and I didn't have the flyer. >> We never We got the flyer, but we never got the video or we never got the uh

>> so I think you all reported in June so you it would be all those months till now >> so it would be the 25 log and then the 2026 log >> okay >> so in this case um Helen you can delete
anything from January through May. >> I mean, >> and just >> Yeah. I mean, it's not going to affect anything. It's more so that the so that they see since you reported what the attendance is looking like. Many members need to be removed or >> Well, but I I I don't think we should
keep that because really what they're looking at for this purposes, what needs to be removed is June and I mean from April on. Yeah. Yeah. From April on. So, I would say which is what we talked about when the rules were updated. Correct. >> Yes. When the rules Yeah. I would say just delete January, February and March
and just you have April, May fill in June through December and then the these three months for 2026, >> right? And I think you all had some meetings last so it shouldn't be all the months either. I think we didn't meet in December or November maybe. I'm not
sure. >> Right. >> So, we got that. The next one is request for $200 for back to nature event.
And then in parenthesis I have collaboration with public safety committee. Right. Okay. So we have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 nine items under future future projects and considerations. Anything
else? I looked at my uh notes from last meeting. I don't see anything else to report. >> That's you think. >> Not that we have the budget. >> Right. >> Oh, we're not we're not putting the
bike. >> There's no bike no bike things, right? Not requesting it. We're asking for it. >> I was looking at that. There's a proclamation. >> Yeah, but do we have a date? >> National bike month and everything. >> There is. Right. So, do we put bike ride? But where where do we say it was a bike ride? Was in December. We said it

It's like $3,000. >> We don't have a budget. >> Each bike rides three grand. I don't think they want to give us that. >> You try doing it without the police.
>> He can't. So basically >> statistic one is >> for now >> all of them there's none >> there's none unless they approve a budget for one bike ride you know >> we talked about that last time where we
would um ask about the the police budget like their overtime line item >> right but but remember that we don't have I think I looked at the budget and we're in a negative Yeah. Yeah.
>> No, right. But we were going to ask if if we can just use the police's line item since they budget for it over time already. >> I mean, you can put it in there. >> It wouldn't be a bad idea. We might as well ask for it. >> And let them say no. >> If they say no, they say no, you know,
but at least we asked if that we used to be a bike, you know, ride a month to >> down to one a year. >> To one a year to now done, you know. you know. show. I And we at one point we were the the biggest uh town that rode
bike to work or remember I think you were that you did that. You did that 305 >> bike 305. We were you know the we were number one in that and now >> Yeah. >> So what what light of the matter would be uh >> how how much have we spent on the bike
pass? >> I have to look at the town uh budget. >> Why did we why did we bid all these bike passes? we're not going to promote biking. >> So in this case, I I put in community bike ride and then I put a parenthesis
request for request for funding from Do you have the budget there for the town? Isabelle accessible >> the town. >> The town budget. That's a big >> Yeah. >> I don't know. Isn't that Isn't that on the website? >> I mean,
>> there's so many line items. Which line item do you want is the thing. I don't I don't know the first thing about Oh my god. >> Which line you're looking for? You're looking for police over time, right? >> You're requesting police overtime. >> Yeah. So, we would have to repress out
>> police funds. >> Yeah. >> Yes. I'm like checking their budget right now. I'm I'm looking. I'm looking. >> 750. That's it. >> All right. All right. So what I put is
community bike ride then in parenthesis request for funding from police. So from town police, right? >> Town police services fund.
I I think that's that gives us >> Okay, I found the line item >> that's 50,000 in 2024. So in 202 >> that much we had over >> this was allocated from 50,000 to overtime 17 >> they have budgeted 630,000
for the year >> for overtime >> for overtime correct >> or you know there's some money we can grab there >> I'm just saying it's a big line item I feel and then request funding from town police services
>> and what's the line item called? It is called police overtime and I can give you the account number. It's 21102. So request for funding from town police services >> ending right
>> ending in what's the number >> ending in 21102 dash >> 53 >> in 102 >> uh 21102 >> oh sorry >> five
>> in 2102 >> 53 4 03 35. >> Good lord, it sounds like a whole number. How how big is the number? >> Yeah. So, this is um so the actuals just
so we we know uh last year what they spent was 596,000 in overtime and they have budgeted um 630. So, they might have some left over >> overage. Okay. All right. So, I'm going to read the last numbers that you gave
me. I don't even know how many digits are lost. So, I'm going to read them out. Um, is that the last four? The last three, the last it must be like a 17digit number. So, all right. The number is 21253 435.
>> Correct. >> And that's just they call it account number. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I remember NDA. >> Yeah. I put it here. >> All right. So it says community bike rate request for funding from town police services OT
funds line item ending in >> town blah blah blah blah blah. >> Cool. >> No we >> now how much request for funding? Um what was the last bike ride? I want to
put a dollar amount here. Each bike ride is is is how much is the police? 3,000. >> Uh >> I remember you had told her that. >> Yeah. >> So 3,1456. >> All right. All right. So, 3,200 because
there's probably, you know, >> Yeah. estimated. Yeah. >> 3,200. >> That's how much each bike would >> ask for 9,600. >> That's at least one. >> At least four. >> No, no, no.
>> That's for three with a minimum of one. >> You will stick with one. >> And listen, I left that at the end. So, uh, so Mario, will you talk on that one? I told >> Why am I doing this? Listen, listen. At le we're hopefully we'll get our first 200 bucks, right, for the video. Um, the
second it will be the $200 for the nature and then, you know, at the end, boom, we end up with a >> We found a solution. Hopefully, they agree. >> No, the police doesn't do volunteer work. >> We'll see. We'll see.
>> Not Not for Not for 3,200 bucks. >> I think if we get one A and B, what can we see? >> You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to I'm going to move it up. Let me move it up. >> So, it's not No, no, no, not down. No, no. Right after the other >> $200.
>> No. So, it's it's like spread out. >> First 200 bucks to the top. Second set of funds request somewhere in the middle and then the >> the last 200. >> That's it. The last No, the last 400 on the B. I mean 3200. >> You should ask for 3200 like in the middle because I hit him so hard asking
for 400. Well, but here's what I think. I I'd rather get something than nothing. So, if I ask for 3,200, I'm going to scare them. And you know, the other items, we're not going to get any. >> But I feel like if you ask me for 39, then you ask me for 400. Like, okay. You know what? That's more reasonable. >> Yeah. All right.
I don't know what to tell you. All right. So, I think We just take one nice cleansed. Just one moment, guys. It sounds, you know what that sounds like? >> Like, >> no. >> I'll tell you exactly what it sounds like. You ready?
>> Let's listen for a second. >> Nope. It sounds like an ultrasound. >> You're right. And the baby's moving and and we hear a sound here, Helen, that that it's it's am I right? >> That it sounds exactly when you're go
get an ultrasound of a baby >> and the wave sounds. >> It's weird. >> The heartbeat. Yeah. Sound like that. >> Sound of my heart. >> Oh yeah, >> man. Scared the heck out of me. It was so loud. I was like, "Oh my god."
All right. So, I'm going to read this one last time, guys. Make sure we're in the same page. One more set for your patience. Well, I'll talk about the uh bike. How
about that? Bike ride was great. >> All right. Go ahead. In the meantime, yes, >> bike was awesome. Uh just a couple things for next year. I don't know if um I mean we'll be involved in it and the bike club, right? I think it's called
the LA paddle. >> Yeah. Yeah. They it's it's more enjoyable because you're with a group of people. So the the community is asking for us to have at least two or three more. >> How many more do they have? >> We only have one. >> Okay. We've been asking that for the past two years. >> Yeah. We only have one.
>> But it was a great success for the first year. They said we're going to bring another one the next year. So the second year the second year we did had two >> two >> and it was a great success too. It sold out. So this year you're telling me you only have one. >> We only have one. >> Okay. Then that that that was that was a failure on someone whoever it was
>> because it worked out great the first year. >> Well, every you know what it is. I think the the fear their fear is that their fear is that it didn't get sold out but everybody bought their ticket at the last the last minute. So >> yeah. But we never had an issue with those bikes. talked about it and so
somebody I don't know whatever I don't know what happened but >> and then the other thing was um some of the the the restaurants I guess they didn't know what time it was time they buy >> and then we probably started too late but I do got to tell you Diosa made up instead of having food they gave up
margaritas which was excellent for the people you know >> so but other than that it was a great great success everybody did uh enjoy it one other thing a lot of residents did say They didn't I didn't know about this that we passed by then we were inside the restaurant like Joseph was like
what's this about what's going on they're like well this is our you know our annual bike you know color bike tour and like where do you hear about this so that was sad to hear that you know it the word's not getting out or our advertisement is not working as good as it should. So those are the two a couple
things I just have to say. >> Okay so I have everything ready. I'm going go ahead and read it off. So once again, report to council April 2026. Our mission statement, the membership

section of the budget, kind of gives them a little reminder. >> Okay. They're going to be mad at us. >> What's new? Hey, we're mad at them. We don't have members because they changed our time, starting time, and they took all the money from our budget. So
shame our friends. >> What can I tell you? And we had to go beg to get a couple of rings installed. So what else is new? Yep. >> All right. So, I think we're good. So, I'm sending
