>> No, you have nothing to say. >> You want to introduce yourself, I guess? >> Uh, yeah, sure. My name is Denise White. I am a I don't know. Um, I've been in Miami Lake since I was nine years old. So, I've been part of the town for many,
many years. I just opened up my marketing agency. Um, I've been very involved with the town, but I want to continue getting involved. Um, I think joining the committee would be a good start for me, especially because I want to do more businessto business. Um, help
my relates. I'm sorry for the record. You see your name with me? >> Denise. >> And what's the name of your business? >> It's Social Society event marketing. >> Thank you. >> Welcome.
>> Thank you. >> All right. Means we'll move on to approval of minutes. Want to see the minutes. They are attached. got the meeting minutes from the 22nd meeting and then shouldn't
have a social media as well. Most of what we'll be talking about today obviously is going to be what's on the subcommittee. If you guys want to give it a brief little look, we're going to be voting on the budget
and the expenditures mainly for the uh the land. [Music] comment on on the minutes. Not that it makes so it but uh a lot of times we talk about budgets and numbers and the
numbers are all over all over the place. Uh if there could be at least like a some you know I'm an accountant. So I I like to see numbers in columns and total and you know whereas when you read this it's it's hard unless we get a piece of
paper and start adding it up and and so just just a column not uh not critic. >> It sounds to me like we have a volunteer for secretary for next year and note that in the minutes because that's what that sounded like to me.
I would gladly nominate the second. >> I learned that third. >> You need a fourth four or two. >> But noted. I I agree. I don't disagree. >> No, it's just it's hard to follow. >> It is. Yeah, for sure. >> Is that both of us?
I think it's still very >> I motion to approve the ones from last meeting. I wasn't in the sub. Gotcha. Any seconds? >> Second. >> Cool. All in favor? >> I do on those
for the subcommittee. >> I move to approve the uh the subcommittee. >> Second. >> Cool. All in favor on that. >> I approve. >> All right. Cool. So, we'll move on to the budget. Um, how long is he going to skip this over
and wait over for the new business? I can kind of just put it underneath here just to kind of remind us that that's what we're going to talk about. But just so we don't get bogged down too much on that, I'll save it for the new business. >> Sorry said he got disconnected. >> Oh, >> I readmitted.
>> Oh yeah, he's doing the connection on a second. I full. >> All right, cool. So, like I said, we'll jump back to the budget when we get to new business. So, just real quick, just to cover old business, what we talked
about before. So, the culinary bike tour. Um, I think for right now, we look to do it next week once we're done with this boot camp, just so we don't get bogged down with all the different events. Um, Andrea and the Grams reached out saying
that they're willing to help when it comes to making it happen, right, and making this culinary bike to a reality. >> Um, especially when it comes to the cost and things like that and, you know, basically sponsoring the event. So, what I want to do is see what we can do to
get it going again. That's possible. I have >> Yeah. >> Yeah. No, the event's been previously approved. So, >> but this time with time, I guess. You know what I mean? Like, if we can I guess maybe what we can do today is kind of pick a good date for us to make it happen. Like I'm saying, I think maybe after the U boot camp is what I'm
thinking. Once that's already said and done, uh maybe something like October or November, something like that. >> I don't know if there's another by Brighton that happens around that time of year. I have a comment. You know, if we're going to do it like uh budget uh fiscal year,
>> could we then defer that to the next meeting and then you know at that meeting we can then concentrate and and and think about you know since we have to concentrate on boot camp which is >> No, I agree. I agree. That's why I just want to pick a date. That's why I just want to see if we can pick a date to
make sure we know when it's going to happen when we got plenty of time and then we'll come back. I don't want to go in depth on this right now. You're right. >> What are the dates that happens before? >> That's what I was asking. >> What did you say? >> What are the dates that we usually have
the back door towards? >> Oh, it usually is in September. Um >> just a question for Isle since you guys are working on the budget and I guess police I mean think that was one of the items that kind of >> like now that it's a new fiscal year to
see if there >> I don't have an answer for you right now on that but I think I mean what is the process for that like do you guys look at your normally I think it's kind of built into the contract whatever >> right that's I was like do you look at your year calendar >> I know that for this year we didn't have it included because we're we weren't having the event but now that you're
asking now you guys are planning for another fiscal year. I can go back and check while they're doing their budgeting. >> Um I know that we want that we want to focus more on the business boot camp since that's what's next. But even if we're going to do it in October or in
November, we're basically in September >> like there it's not it's inevitable that we can't discuss it if that's something that we're trying to do within those months. Um, so I think that picking a date so that then we can see what level of focus we need on it. >> Yeah. But how much the town's willing to be able to support?
>> You know, they can. >> I know that the police 2500. >> It's 2500. >> But that's because it would be isolated. >> No, I know. >> Yeah. So if worst case scenario, that is a worst case scenario number >> is 2500. If it had to be isolated. >> Yeah. Yeah.
>> But they've changed that. >> No, she got >> No, I think I gave you a quote this year. Yeah. >> Awesome. Um, so if we were looking to do it in O I mean when do you think October, November? I just don't want to get it too close to the holidays. So it would
definitely have to if it's November, it would be um I guess earlier part of >> I will mention cuz I I know like a lot of you uh kind of are interested in like the social media and how we promote that. So, just really quick note on
that, the end of the year is like loaded with events and activities. So, just keep that in mind because you guys are going to be like one promotion out of all the other things we have to do. So, it kind of helps when it's like a quiet month cuz then that's a lot of the
focus, but end of the year is busy. So, just keep that in mind. And yes, of course, if you pick the date sooner rather than later because again, we have to promote and set up all the other. >> That was the first thing it would be. >> Again, I know you want to, you're suggesting October, November, but how
about, you know, February, which is a quiet month. It's still cool. It still doesn't rain. So, the chances are, you know, you know, >> I just wouldn't like to The last time that this was done was last September. So I I mean in trying to keep with doing
this annually because at that point now this is becoming like another a whole other year. Um, ideally we would like I mean if we're going to take this on going forward as a committee and the town is going to continue to like you know not then um I mean that's a
decision that for us to make but I don't know >> is there a calendar set up for next year kind of like a template as far as events that >> I mean we have I mean you t always say the nightmare mantras the I heard the
veterans parade is on November 2nd >> I can send you guys something. Um, >> that's pretty wine the wine and food festival. Is that scheduled yet? Or >> Yeah, that um >> or just you know all the things plug in >> the next fiscal year. >> What day of film?
>> We can plug in there. >> Usually we do it Saturday. >> But I mean if you guys want I can send you that so you can review it in advance of the next meeting. >> Yeah. Miami date food and wine. No, last
year was February 1st. So, usually February. >> That's why I'm like you have to be strategic, right? I mean, >> yeah, >> beginning of the year is definitely a lot quieter than end of the year, but yeah, I don't know how you guys feel
based on the timeline. And I guess maybe maybe it's worth asking the restaurants too, right? Cuz the point is to get business. I don't know if if it matters to them when you guys do it. If that matters then for restaurants the summer is the part where they would need the most help. Restaurants are dead in the summer.
>> That's not This isn't an event. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Although I will say it's always historically rained at least in the day when we do. So it's never stopped anyone but yes it is something worth mentioning.
Is there any reason why we wouldn't do it in February? just to be to keep the annual structured. I guess that's really the main draw for that. But >> so we go back to October. >> I mean it's up to you guys. That's why
I'm too soon Jessica or >> November between Veterans Day, >> Veterans Day and Thanksgiving. >> The only reason that it's gonna be too soon is because there's a lot of like we don't get answers immediate here, right? So like that that answer that question
is important. But one of is the town willing to take it on if it's after se the September, you know, this year's budget and we're going into the next year. Is the town can the police part be included in whatever the town's covering for the next? That's important for us.
So, no. Um, as far as everything else, I think it's simple. It's not a complicated event to put together. um every the businesses that I had already reached out to with the date that we had spoken about tentatively
last time they were all on board. So it's not it's not a matter of I don't you know even the new ones I chas like when where do I sign up you know >> so I I think it's just a matter of giving them dates and and if we if we
start asking them for dates it's a lot of people to ask for dates and a lot of opinions but >> I don't think that that'll be the best way to go about it we just have to choose what whatever works for us. >> Yeah. Okay. Okay. So, that in mind, I think what we have on the table right now basically is early November or start of
the year, February. My personal opinion, me, I I like the idea of February just because it gives us time to work through everything with the >> make it an annual make it an annual event. >> Yeah, that's why. And it's like, oh well, we, you know, we kind of missed a
few months out of like to hit the direct year, I guess. But I think it just makes things easier with the, you know, political and the bureaucracy and having to go through all the steps that we got to go through. Um, but again, it's that's why like I think we can make it happen for November. I think we can do
it, but it would just kind of be a it would be more of a tossup. It be a little bit more of a scramble, but it's up to you guys if you you know, that's I'll leave it up to the the vote if everybody wants to motion either way, you know, and then we can kind of see which way we want to go. So, >> what's the start time today?
>> Six. which in September still daylight a little bit February it's dark. That's another problem. >> Which is really nice to start in daylight. >> That's a good point. >> Last weekend of March, April.
>> Last weekend, but a little shorter. >> Probably just another consideration, but I like the weather a lot better than >> Yeah, it's true. >> Well, it could be that November the second day. >> Right. >> Thank you.
>> November. >> November the second. >> Yeah. Because it is a night event. Like you do the whole ambiance of it. But yeah, we started at 5 so you can get a little bit because that that starting point is important to have light. Then we're going to have to worry about how to light it up. So you could that's like
a whole other thing I don't think you would want to >> I mean I will say if it it helps you because obviously this is a much bigger event but the neighborhood improvement when they do their uh regular neighborhood bike ride some of them are at night completely at night. I don't know they just take turns. Some
are in the morning and some are at night. in February. Um I think it would be important to know when the food and wine is because the first Saturday in February the 7th and that would if they take that one the next Saturday in
February is a long weekend. >> That's not good either. >> How about the weekend right the last week the last weekend in January? >> The last weekend in January the 31st. That could be Yeah, that would be a possibility.
So we would have to ask another [Music] >> school who when >> short Super Bowl next >> Super Bowl >> Super Bowl is there too.
>> No, no, the Super Bowl is not in January. It's it's February. It's February. >> February. First week, second week of expanded, you know, maybe >> everything. It's it's just >> see the the the problem with dates is
that you know there's all kinds of events and then everybody >> raises their hands. Oh, it conflicts with mine. It conflicts with mine. You know, so so we need to get on the calendar you know pretty early. >> Yeah. >> But not necessarily early. >> I mean even the other date that we had
chosen if we were to have done it, you know, now um there was a gala or something on on our calendar event. So it probably wouldn't have even worked that day regardless and we didn't know that somebody brought that to my attention as I was talking about it. So
yeah, looking at that main calendar is going to be important making this decision. >> Well, take a look until she get they get back to us as to when they uh put these or >> Yeah, we can if we're shooting for February or late January, I think we can move this then to the next meeting then
pretty soon. >> Okay, cool. That's it. I just wanted us to talk at least talk about it just to get this out of the way so we can pick what kind of day we want to do it because I know that >> makes life a lot easier for Iowa and for the town simply can >> right
>> what is the >> yeah the second weekend >> the Miami half marathon is usually the last time that's I was just looking [Music] I know on town end February is slow like
it's not as busy for events. >> So we have late January for everything. >> Awesome. Cool. And then the next thing is again this is again will be pretty much tabled till the next one. I just wanted to bring it to the attention the main street live that I spoke with Felicia the chair of the culture affairs
committee that they are going to do it. They committed to three next year. Um I forgot which one of their events that they're kind of basically tearing down to split within the three main street lives to make it you know bring that to life. Um the only thing that she was kind of we discussed about is what we
spoke about earlier with them is how we can help market them right and we remember last time we I think we put a little bit of funding aside right in our marketing budget to go ahead and push the events a little bit. >> So you know again just to get that brewing in the minds for the next >> do they have anything
>> that I don't know yet. I think I have Hold on. I think we do. >> You do? Okay, cool. But don't worry about it now anyways. That'll be for the next >> alternative. Um I'll send them to you guys in an email. >> And we don't wine still has not finalized the date yet. >> Perfect. Okay. Hopefully next month it'll be a little closer.
>> Cool. When I do that website, so I might find out soon. >> There you go. It's usually the first Saturday. It's usually >> All right. Cool. So, Main Street Live, this will be next meeting as well. And I got again, this is all for next fiscal year, but just wanted to get
everybody's mind on it. All right, cool. So, I just realized I numbered this nine when it should be eight. There's another addition. New business should be number eight. All right, so new business a so the EDC business. Here we go. So, the subcommittee meeting review and again,
this goes back to the budget review going early. I'm pretty much What we have to do is vote on all the decisions that everybody that met at that subcommittee, which was Romy, myself, and Ralph and Mali, that we basically voted on how to use the
remaining funds that are in our budget basically for the rest of the fiscal year. Um, so I guess if everybody wants to take a look at new business, again, the minutes in there. Um, and then if somebody does that, that subcommittee wants to start that motion process or if they want to anybody wants to open up discussion about any of the specific
points. >> Can I outline the budget because I have it written down from the last meeting? >> That would be perfect. >> Okay. So, we have two buckets of money that we're talking about. We have $3,538 in our marketing budget. From this
budget, we would put $2,000 into paid ads for the event to market the event. And from the same bucket budget, we would put $1,425 for the swag bags that we do for the event. That would leave us with a
balance of $113 for any kind of incidental last minute, say, for the networking event afterwards or something like that. The following budget is our seminar budget, which is actually the budget dedicated to this event. From that two, that's a budget of $2,000. And
from that $2,000, we would uh uh spend $1,000 as a contribution to Chelas for the happy hour event that happens after the main event so that we can get some drink tickets, appetizers, etc. from
Chelas. and we would spend an additional $500 which was already motioned and approved for the social media uh consultant that we have hired for that day. Um she's already I think earned
those $500. She's already put together collateral and she's going to be working with Carlos and with the communications office on all the paid ads, etc. Um, that leaves us with a balance of $500 in the seminar budget for, you know, we can
use it on gift cards, etc. I actually, you know, I've been working very closely with Vanessa over the last couple of weeks. I really think and she also has volunteered which really does not take into account the additional work the work that she's already done and that she will continue to do but she's also
volunteered to be on site that day the whole day to capture pictures and reels and we also have a commitment from the communications office that we're going to have somebody from the town there at least for a few hours so that they can collaborate and do some realtime
posting. Um, we have a $500 surplus in that budget. I in my motion, I'm also going to be including an additional motion for an extra 250 for Vanessa because she's putting in a lot of work. Like, we got a we got a deal asking her for 500 bucks considering that be there
for an additional full day. I would like to motion to make her total compensation 750. So that would leave us with a balance in the seminar budget of 250 which we can spend on gift cards or whatever need be last minute. Go ahead
Carlos. >> Uh we have already worked with together with the communications department of the town together with the NASA we have had already two meetings. We already have an update of how the campaigns are running. And also she also told me and
what I talked to her was that I what I needed it was to do a full video of the the event so we can put it in YouTube. >> So that's also included. Okay, >> that's fantastic. Before I I I'll make a
motion, but does anybody have any questions about how we're spending? >> Does the question in regards to the monies that are being contributed by the chamber of BNI? Those are going to be for the breakfast. >> That's just for the breakfast. That has not that's not coming out of any budget
here. So, we did get we did secure 250 from the chamber, 250 from BNI Miami Lakes as a contribution to the event. They're going to cut a check to the town so that the town can make a a purchase for breakfast catering for the event. >> We already got the one from the BI.
>> Oh, yay. Okay. Thank you. >> Okay. >> Anything else? >> Okay. So, Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion. I would like to motion that uh the committee approve from our marketing
budget of $3,538 that we allocate $2,000 of this marketing budget to paid ads specifically for the small business boot camp and $1,425 as an expenditure for uh uh giveaway
bags for the event. That would be my first motion on the table. 1,425. >> 1,425 and for swag bags and 2,000 for paid ads. >> Cool. I have a second. Awesome. >> All in favor?
>> I >> Thank you, George. >> And I have another motion. >> Yep. I would like to motion for the committee to approve from our seminar budget of $2,000 an expenditure of $1,000 going directly towards uh Chela's
uh for our happy hour for this event. a five a $500 already pre-approved uh expenditure for our social media consultant, Vanessa, with an additional uh approval of an extra $250. That
brings her total compensation to $750 um for her time invested in the social media uh in in the social media efforts for the small business boot camps for the marketing plan. >> I'll check that. You're just splitting
it up. >> I have a second from Jessica. >> Okay. >> You're good. You got a second. >> All in favor? Awesome. So, we're good to go there today. >> And that one was the >> That's really all we have right now on
the boot camp, you guys. Now that we're good and ads are live. Yes, Carlos. Ads are live. Now, it's just registrations. So um isle maybe if you can send an email to the whole committee with the final collaterals of the flyer and the
agenda and the link the eventbrite and now you know just invite invite invite please. So I have couple of questions and I have a couple of things to say right. >> Um the first one is the marketing advertising organicity was already done
and also the pay ads they had a problem with the credit card on the campaign. So right in the city and right now they're reactivating the campaign but we already had 39 reservations uh 39 RSVPs I'm
sorry. Uh so my question is the following. I think with how we are organizing the marketing and everything and all the things that we are doing extract this year I think is for sure going to be a pack event. So I think we need to consider what's going to be the
max of people that we can fit in that place so that way we don't overbook. I understand that there is when we have uh RSVP as there is the free entry a lot of them don't show up but as we are
investing $2,000 worth of advertising and we are targeting a specific uh business people business startups and people that want to know more about businesses all the area from other cities not just Miami Lakes because I think we already
have all the Miami lake BNI is going to assist the chamber of commerce is going to assist So we we're bringing people from other cities. We're going for Lauderdale uh Midamar Penine. The advertising is on those other areas so they know about Miami Lakes, what we are
offering and what are the things that we're doing. So what's going to be the maximum capacity that we have to the event. So let's say that is 300 people. We put 400 because we know that there is going to be a ratio that they not going to show up.
I don't know what the capacity is of chamber of commerce. So that's why I'm asked. >> That's the most important thing. What's the capacity of the chamber? >> Um I can go now and check for you guys. But standing room I believe it's 200. So it's more if it's standing room when they start adding chairs it's less.
>> It's maybe like half. >> Okay. >> But I'll check for you. >> Okay. I mean it seems like there'll probably be like about 100 something capacity. I would think. >> Um >> at least 100. Yes. >> Yeah. Yeah, >> because it's been kind of a little bit more like a week and a half since we
already started the campaigns and everything and we already have almost 40. So, I know when they're full force, >> I think it's going to be booked a lot and and that way we can also save money on the advertising that we already booked to stop the advertising and save
the money. >> You know what the ratio was the last time >> of attendance? So last year, last year registrations, >> wasn't it? >> Um, so we had about 60 in attendance last year and registrations cuz I know
Jonathan at one point like like locked it and unlocked it. Did we have what like a hundred >> something registrations? You remember? >> Yeah, I thought it was interesting. A little over 100, right? >> Yeah, I think it was maybe around half. >> I don't I don't I don't even think I don't think it even hit likeund registrations. I think we hit like maybe
just over a 100red. So, it's almost a 50% attendance. >> Do we do we charge for attendance or is it pretty? >> We do not. We've discussed that a lot. We're, you know, we're always open to changing things for next year. We decided to not charge for attendance
because we're still trying to break 100 participants. >> Um, maybe when this really picks up traction and it really becomes ingrains in the brains of the community that this happens every year, maybe at that point we'll consider charging. But because it's sponsored by the town, we felt strongly about leaving it no no
registration fee. Um Carlos, I don't know if you agree, but I mean just from the results that we've had in the last two years, this is the third year we do it. I don't see a problem with allowing maybe 250 registrations and see >> I think I think at least 250. I would
try to push it 300 if we're having good, you know, but uh >> I I'll say 250 I think should be the minimum. If 200 that marks people in the team, >> I think if we I think if we allow for 300 registrants, I don't think that that's a bad idea. We could even, you
know, we could even I don't know if it's possible send out like a conf I don't know if through Eventbrite we can do anything kind of like a confirmation. I just registered for an event through Instagram and like I registered and then you know a week before it sent me a
confirmation and I had to click to confirm so you know who's paying attention more you know so um so I don't know if that's something that we could do through Eventbrite to kind of maybe at the last minute open registration one more time or close it or whatnot if we get a lot of confirmations but I think
if we leave it to 300 registrations I don't think that's a bad idea. It was 166 last time, by the way. >> That's how much registered >> 126. >> Yeah, she just showed me. That's why. >> Okay. So, so we had 166 and we had 60 people show. >> So,
exactly. How about do not cap registration? >> Don't cap it. >> So, I'm I'm going to tell you right now we have I have it capped at 200. Um I'm forcing everybody to sign up as individual. Mhm. Um
and yeah, except the 200 the space in council chambers. Um I guess the official capacity is 215 cuz I just looked at it. Um but I even 215 I feel like will be tight if it's you're talking about chairs and table >> right because there there there is you
know there's going to be the speakers space the chairs are going to be pushed back. You talk about having the fruit you know somewhere in there. >> Yeah. So, >> so it's a lot of uh >> just so you >> But she'll be outside. But she'll be outside. >> So, um >> uh Carlos, were you here last time when
we looked at the chamber at the count of the council chambers? Okay. Yeah. So, um so the way that we're going to set up you guys is we're going to face the the chairs. We're going to face it towards the back wall. So, for example, if this is the council chambers and this is the
the the councilmen and women's seats are back here, that's the exit. We're going to face all the chairs that way because on that back wall where the AV is is the largest TV and it's something that you can see even from the back room. The TVs that we have up against this wall are
too small and that was a problem with the first year that we did it. So, all the chairs are going to face this way and it's going to be basically we're going to we're going to remove the podium and chairs are going to go the entire length from left to right basically in the curvature of the of the
uh councilman and women's chairs. We're also going to fill up the sides of the So, it's going to go like, you know, in um in an oval or semicircle. And then once we kind of fill that semicircle, then we'll also flank the left and the
right with chairs up until a certain point where we cut it off. I don't know how many feet, but let's say we leave something like 10 10 or 15 feet between the first chair and the back of the room so that the speaker has room and they're not right up against the participants, which also leaves the two corners by the
exits empty. And that'll be food, drinks, registration, etc. So, I think that really changes the what the room holds. Like, forget about what the capacity says or what she >> I don't think it does because if you think about it, when the table when the when the room is flipped the other way,
the podium is up front. >> Less down. >> Okay. I'm like more >> like capacity. I think you're removing capacity by doing that because you're taking more of the space on the floor that when the councilmen and women are up there, you're not taking, you know, you're using the the whole floor space,
>> but you're not when the councilmen and women are there, there's a podium and you can't put chairs beyond the podium. So, we're doing the same thing just slipping it. >> Yeah. >> So, how many chairs we have? >> We cannot put the food outside. That's something that we have not
>> told. We were told no. So I don't I don't know if there's anything that we can do about >> we're going to talk >> move some context >> to see if he's okay with at least using the elevator seat I think is >> yes alternative >> but they won't they don't like it because it's during business hours and
it's disruptive and whatnot and we also asked for this room but no so we we need some help. >> Yeah, we're going to have a conversation with the town manager to see what he tells us and what what we're going to tell him is that it would be for a limited time. So just keep that in mind, right? I guess what we don't want to do
is leave it going when the >> from [Laughter] there. >> I don't think that's >> there's nobody there from 9 to 12. They should all be working. >> Okay, I'll get back to you. >> Question. Um, do we have the final
agenda? >> I believe we do. I haven't gotten a final copy, but I believe so. the Vanessa finished that and I think it's on the town Canva. So I I have not gotten a final copy. >> I don't know if you have it on you. >> I'll share I I'll share with you what
Vanessa sent me. We think we've seen but just go over it. I want >> confirming speakers I think. >> Yeah. Yeah. We got everything >> topics the whole nine yards. But yeah, send it to me a final thing so that we can and then once it's finalized we'll I will email you guys the final so you can
share. Thank you. >> Just just if you want uh you go to the events, you can click on the website and then it does come up >> the the event uh in the town website.
The event comes up and it talk, you know, you can click on the different speakers and you can see what's there. However, the agenda, I don't I don't believe the agenda was there when I checked. This is a couple weeks ago. I'll check if they put it in there or not.
>> I I'm just curious. Um Vanessa put together a a posting calendar for the communications department. Do you know if that's been happening that's been putting >> I know that they had a conversation. I believe Carlos was a part of that because I know that they're going to try to go by that recommendation, but keep
in mind that we kind of have to fit our own stuff in there, too. Sure. Yeah. Um but yes, >> we Yes, we went over all the calendar. We went over all the strategy and they are following they asked for certain changes and certain things that they needed. Vanessa already sent those
changes and it should be following the majority of our request. >> Okay, awesome. Just FYI, you guys, we may reach out to some of you for some of those posts because we're going to do a mix. We're gonna do a mix of static posts and a mix of, you know, like
videos like, oh, you know, my name is Jessica Medina. I'm a member of the economic development committee. I want to invite you to come. So, things like that. So, we may reach out to you. Um, just as an update, the website has the event and what it has is the head shot and the bios of each speaker. It does
not have the agenda. It just has the start time and the end time. So, um, we can ask them to add the agenda. I don't know if you guys think it's too much in one place. to let me know cuz right now I think the speakers take a lot of of the >> fact but could it be a link then it goes
into another page. >> Yeah. Um we can put the registration link on there because the registration link would lead you to Eventbrite and Eventbrite the agenda the entire agenda is there. Here, I'm gonna hold it up so you can see.
This is just that's it about the event and then this is the speakers. So, um I can ask them the agenda. I'm sure we can, but I don't know. What do you guys think? >> I think it would be really nice. I don't know if it's possible to put the agenda to the left of those speakers. like,
yeah, it's begging for something there. That'll be great. But I'll tell them to also add the registration. >> Okay. Can you also um email us that link as well so we can share that? The speakers will be able to see that. Okay. Beans.
All right. Are we good on the subcommittee or on the subcommittee meeting review the business boot camp? Any other questions, items for discussion? >> Um, yes. So since we had money left over that we were going to be using for
before September 30th for this now what are >> it was like around like 300 bucks now >> that's what we voted on >> not this but wasn't there another balance and another >> Yeah that's no I thought there was still more outside
>> no grab it now we have a we have a balance of 113 in our marketing budget and we now have a balance of 250 in the seminar budget Okay. Yeah. >> Um, which just uh regarding the the event to get the gift cards and the
giveaways. Um, we need to start working on that. We need to start like finding the sponsors for that. Did Did you just do that last year or did we like all reach out to people or do we have like some people >> last time was the people that were part of the culinary bike tour and then we ended up buying or Jonathan went out and
bought specific gift cards from each of those people like the people that he could get. How do we want to handle it for this year? >> Well, now we have a little less to work with. Before there was a lot more. That's why we were able to hit every almost every single place. >> Um I know we wanted to reserve some of
that monies for water bottles for the event, right? That we needed to buy some water bottles, maybe some napkins and things like that, right? Like like general supplies. >> Yep. >> So, >> right. And and I believe said that if we needed to do that >> Yeah. There's like a card we can we can
use a Costco card or I think the town or on Amazon or >> town credit card I can lend you guys. Just let me know and I'll have you pick it up. >> Have we decided on a breakfast vendor? We Somebody was going to talk to George from BB's. Did that >> I spoke to him. He said he was more than willing.
>> Okay. And he can do it for the money that we have allocated. >> Yep. Yep. He told me he can make it work. >> Just have him send me the invoice. >> Okay. >> Or if you consent. >> Okay. Okay. >> Okay. So then we just need to make a a purchase of water bottles. and just, you know, napkins and paper plates and I don't know if George is
including that. >> Um, >> that would be important. I'm not sure >> to confirm. >> So, we would need to confirm if George is including napkins, paper plates, utensils. >> That's al That's also something that uh Well, I mean, yeah, I was going to say like typically like if we were to order catering from Panera, it would come from
them. So, it would make sense if George could provide it, >> right? But if not, we need to >> But if not, we need to include that. Yeah, definitely the water bottles was a big takeaway from last year. People needed that and we didn't have it. >> Right. And get get the small ones on the ones because then it's less wasted.
>> Yeah. And then after whatever we spend on that, you know, we can do some giveaway gift cards. >> More expensive. >> Yeah. >> No, it's not that it's more expensive. It's just >> wasted. People eat >> people take the whole bottle and then they take a three4 are thrown out.
>> So if you give >> I try to buy little water bottles. I can't bring myself to do it. You guys more money for those wonderful. I was like doing it. It's so dumb. I'm like I want to throw it away like at the end. I'm paying for it. >> If you do the huge
>> I have I have an analyzer. >> I promise you I made a cost after the meeting. I'll get back to you on this one. >> I'm the CPA. >> Okay. I just have um a question on
as a treasurer of the chamber of commerce, I need the the uh the directions to send the money to the town. >> So, it isn't going to have to be a there's no way you guys can do a check. >> Oh, no, no. Well, we could do a check,
but you know, we we're still working on on getting the signatures, but uh um >> yeah, I think a check would be make it out to the town. >> Okay. Check made out to the town. >> And then you could put attention EDC
just to make sure that they get it. >> It's allocated. >> Yeah. >> And using this those address if you want I can send it to you or you have it. And then that day you'll let us know. >> Yeah.
>> Really what we always need help with is check in check and registration. So if anybody wants to go over that now. >> Okay. So check in registration. I mean setup cleanup. That's kind of like all hands on deck. We all got to do that. And uh
>> with the setup though, um if you give me that layout, >> as long as it's clear on what you guys want, we can have handyman do it because they're here business hours. So you guys don't have to worry about it. >> The other thing that we will need to >> Yeah. Okay, great. The other thing that we'll need designated that day is
somebody to run the powerpoints. >> Um so to run the decks for the speakers >> the registration and and I >> Okay. Yeah, cool. >> I think we had a quick public comment as well about >> I don't know what I was say or not. Um,
what platform do you use to post on the business boot camp? Do you do that on just Instagram? >> We do that through the town socials and >> that >> the town of Miami with all the underscores on Instagram. >> So right now the link does not work.
>> Oh, there you go. So yeah, and the another option when you post as a story and you could connect like an actual button so that the link if it direct you straightly to it and I would pin it to the Instagram. >> That's all that's that's been put on. So I by the way that's all been put on
Vanessa's breakdown of social media posts that was sent to the communications office. Just we don't have control over that account. The communications office has to but I know she put that on the okay on the breakdown. Correct. >> Everyone wants everything to be like
done correctly. Whatever. It has to be an easy process for people to want to do it. >> Yes, for sure. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Right. Cool. I talked to George as well about the uh >> seeing if he provide that all that
stuff. >> But if not, is that something that we could do is like what >> that morning of or something? like get the card that morning of and use it to >> Yeah. >> get some stuff, you know, like public >> you can get it earlier during the week ifever
>> I'm just saying we find out like within the last couple days or something opens now a little earlier for the bas for the executive business. Yeah, there's >> there's that'll do that earlier. >> Right. Cool. So, we have some time on
that. That's all I needed to know. All right, cool. So, we're good to the boot camp for now. I think we're all set to go. We have We pretty much zeroed out the budget other than those couple of um few hundred bucks that are in there. So, we're doing good. All right. Now, to worry about the other line item, the
networking socials line item. So, I think there was about a thousand left in there. So, we have enough for two networking socials left. And the chamber's been trying to do one every single month. So, like I said in the last meeting and the meeting before that, I've been trying to jump in with
each one of these chamber um networking socials usually like, you know, like how we normally do, but have us contribute as well just so we can kind of zero out our line item there. And also, you know, it's still, you know, that we're still participating. But again, just a reminder for the next fiscal year, I
wanted to play around with the idea of maybe putting in a little bit more and then doing bigger, more quarterly events, kind of like what we wanted to do originally versus, you know, smaller ones like this. But that's something to think about in the future. But for now, like I said, there's $1,000 left in
there. So this 500 for August would put us at 500 left. And then if we do the one in September, that would zero it out. And I have the invoice here like Ralph suggested from the last time, >> right? >> So I've got the invoice here from Churas of what they will include. So they're
going to include a kroeta mix with cheese, ham, and cod, grilled cheese, cubes of grilled cheese smothered in honey or rava sauce, some pork chiso, and chicken skewers. And then they'll also have mini tartlettes, the mini tartar, tabonade, parmesan cheese, and
shrimp cream octopus salad. And they'll also have cocktails. So they told us they'd have like around 20 to 25 little like cocktail tickets that they can give out to people and that they'll have those for the first 25 registrance and entry. So that's what we have for that. That
would be for August 27th. So >> tomorrow >> tomorrow >> make it sound like it's hard but it's tomorrow. >> Tomorrow and then there'll be another one in September for the other five. >> Exactly. And do we have a a place? >> That I do not know just yet.
>> I can I suggest something? >> Go for it. >> Um why don't you know I think that every time we mention a place, oh that's too small, they don't have this, they don't have that. We should try to get the businesses around uh around town to kind
of like, hey, do you want us to host or do you want to host an EDC uh networking event? You know, register with us, you know, and then we can we can see ahead of time who's who's willing to do it and, you know, we can evaluate the
capacity and whatever and then from there we approve the the venues ahead of time. You know, it's not like, okay, let's see. Oh, we who haven't we done yet? You know, you know, just breaks the uh the uh how do you say this? You know,
the brainstorming process. Yeah. If if we got information and then it's easier. Okay, we got a list and then we start selecting from a list. >> That way we know who's willing to participate. So, we don't bother calling on, hey, can you receive us? No, I don't
want you guys here because there are people that they don't want uh networking events in their location. So, so that way we kind of like filter out who wants to be in and who wants to be out and then we evaluate based on on the thing and try to rotate, you know, some
in the west, some in the east, although there's more event more locations on the east than on the west. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's not a bad idea. Is that something we can suggest like to the website or something? >> Um >> like a form. >> We can do a form. I will mention because we have a form right now for like
restaurants if they're interested in like if we ever need vendors for our events, you know, like a food stand, food truck or whatever. Um, I don't really think the link is very successful if I'm being honest because people are just lazy. They're not going to stop their day to go sign up on something
that might potentially get picked or might not. I don't know that it's productive, but it's definitely a feature that we can add on the website. Yeah, >> I mean I think it's something if even if it's just a drop down on the current contact form, you know what I mean? That you can just select a little drop down or however that works
>> like we have that because we do it for like events when people want to volunteer and stuff like the the capability is there. >> Yeah. No, I think at the end of the day we're going to end up still kind of having to do this especially for places like Trulaso which is brand new, right? that would kind of more be like, you know, like this, like, oh, what's a new place or something we haven't done in
this area? Like, I think this is still going to happen, but at least >> we'll have a list that we can fall back on if needed. You know what I mean? It's always the same three people because it's always that signed up trying to find places before doing the
>> I reached out to them, but they didn't text me back against this last time. >> Sushi bomb >> and their capacity was only 66. >> I was nearby. How was your mother? >> What? Sushi box. >> Yeah, we had talked about that. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But she just never got
vaccinated. The second time, >> right? They were small and then we had to do it in the parking lot and then we have >> Yeah. Yeah. The first time I reached out to them was with uh was Jose connected me with them >> and we we spoke for a little bit about it, but this last time after our last discussion here, I reached out send them
a text saying, "Hey, you came up again. We're interested about using your spot and we potentially use in the parking lot, see what we could make work." They didn't get back to me. So that's why I kind of just defaulted back to the chamber. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I think the intention was to try to do something on the west side. Oh,
>> that was why we had to try to because we never do anything over there. >> But yeah. >> Yeah. I think on the west side we might just to default to Cancun, which is usually what ends up happening because the issue is just kind of space because usually now we've been getting close to 100 now with these networking socials.
Like they actually get pretty good pretty good showing. And there's there's a lot of promotion on the >> ch Yeah, is a good spot, too. Yeah. And that place can be pretty big. They open it up, move some of the tables.
>> And And have we done anything at uh 195? >> 1950. Yeah. We did one. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. The chamber did one event there. >> Five. Yeah. >> Yeah. Like I said, when it comes to these networking, right now we're kind of doing it Mad Rush style just because of this whole thing with the with the
fiscal year coming to an end. But um but yeah, I do want us to get back in the sense of we kind of decide here just to kind of give everybody a little bit more love. >> Um so the fiscal year ends in September, >> right?
>> So >> and if we don't spend it, that's it. Money gets lost. >> Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. But all we have all we would have left assuming this one gets voted this one motions to pass at Trudas Castle >> we would just have 500 left for you know potentially one more in September. So do
we have a and again sorry to bring us back to this I guess a place do now in September that we can you know tell the chamber about maybe influence their next decision >> and say that we will you know jump in and participate for this one. >> We can I know that the last time you know the last meeting in the chamber we
were struggling to find a place. Yeah. >> And you know it's the same as here. Well, where do we do it? You know, oh, this place was too small. They only served >> this. Okay. >> Yeah. >> So, so about
>> it's not that easy to pick a >> Yeah. >> Very helpful. >> No. >> Matthew September. >> We've tried them. >> When does the price don't pay them before, right? school year end Wednesday
or Thursday. >> Yeah, but the event >> like you're not September, but I'm just saying year ends September like 24th, but the event's 26th, you know what I mean? But we can pay them September 30th.
>> Okay. So, it's all September. Okay. >> So, yeah, it would probably be >> it would probably be I'm thinking the 24th the 17th, right? What do you think? >> But if we don't do one in September, can we use that budget for >> No, that's because this is the end of the fiscal year. That's why. So
>> that's for the boot camp if we if we're short on on something else. >> Um >> but if you're under 700, so we have that. >> Yeah. Yeah, we could potentially do that as well. >> I just texted the suit. Give us an answer on the 17th. >> Good idea.
>> Right. So if we don't find an event and we if we need >> to use some of that budget for the business for the boot camp we use it and then whatever is left then the last event you know it's not 500 it's 300 or whatever. >> Okay.
All righty. I think that works. When's our next meeting? >> That's a better question. >> The next meeting is >> 23rd. Yeah, the 23rd. Okay. Yeah. So, we'd have to vote now or
it would have to be kind of like what we're doing today that we would vote for one on the 24th, which would be the same week as the boot camp. >> But George, you were asking motion for what? a motion to allocate $500 of the thousand dollar left for the judas event
on >> 27. >> Um second. Cool. All in favor? >> I Okay, we're good on that. Leave that leaves $500 left in that fund. the business networking
>> we have we have plan to approve that one >> that one that's the thing we don't really unless we do it that last week of September >> right so can we make a motion just to approve for another event at a town >> restaurant >> we have the wood cap on the 23
>> determined I >> mean can we vote to just jump in on the next one that the chamber decides on we just do that ahead of time >> I think I think if we if you >> if you approve it at a town venue a town restaurant. >> Well, the the the chamber, right? The chamber also does it does it in the in
the town. >> They don't have the name, but you can press a fire where I go to. >> You can try September 18th was in the calendar. >> Oh, because it's the chamber does it in the last Wednesday of the of the uh of
the month. >> Yeah, but that's going to be Tuesday. >> Yeah, that'll be the boot camp meeting on Tuesday, then that and then Friday the boot camp. with the 24th. >> I mean, it could be, but I'm just saying >> for us 17th would be better for us.
>> Yeah, for us, I think the 17th would be the best. >> And so, we're where can we do it? Any ideas? >> Well, he reached out to Sushi Bomb, >> right? But we're work waiting on sushi bomb
and uh backup plan. >> We can try Cancun. >> Yeah, >> a good backup plan. >> Mhm. >> Okay. I just don't know how we would motion for that right now. We motion for
a money slot in the back and option B. >> Yeah. >> What happened? >> Yeah. So, we just motioned to have a business network restaurant >> for an event in Dece I mean in September at a town restaurant.
>> Okay. >> At a town business restaurant. >> DBA. >> All right. Is that your location? >> Yeah. DBA. >> I second to >> All right. Cool. So, all in favor for that. I All right. Cool. Who will be the
one to send me that info so I know like I have direction from you guys to process it? >> Maybe >> I'll work with Matthew Matthew with the owner. >> Yeah, if it's not sushi bombs then we'll do I don't really know the owner for that place but I'm pretty sure
the same we'll get it to you >> for the 17th. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I know you guys confirmed last minute but if you don't tell me in advance and we don't post it on the website >> that's okay. >> I'm just saying that's fine. missed opportunity. >> Yeah. Yeah, that's okay. No, I get it. I
get it. We'll see on the website or whatever. >> I get it. I get it. >> It's no longer I haven't seen >> What time is it? 5:30. >> 5:30. >> Wednesday. We'll shoot for 97.

change a couple of categories. I mean, for the most part, they're all self-explanatory, but there's a few that I think you may benefit from adding descriptions to, which are the best other professional services, best home services, and best financial. If you
guys are interested in giving me those descriptions, I need them by tomorrow morning. If not, we're going to watch regardless. So, >> okay. Was anybody specific on that or no? Or do you just needed it? You guys had mentioned at the meeting that somebody

>> Oh, dance dancing uh you know dancing studios >> that could be in fitness or Yeah. Some of them are >> okay. So um think same thing would go for beauty, right? That would be an establishment or an individual, right?
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. the the only most of them are establishments except if you are like uh that uh too big to be you know >> but an individual >> no
>> but an individual that works in that place yes but in the >> okay I think we've got them all >> I think we're done >> the thing is that with business you can do like there's people that change in the park and they don't have a place >> right which is what I put local stuff
like that for individual it has to like be a a legit like signed up business or whatever they have to have individuals >> well they might be able >> No individuals who are business >> they have to be licensed >> yeah they they may have >> like every massage you remember like
every massage person >> oh so licensed from the time I mean >> yeah that's one of >> an accountant with an app state license and I have to have one that is personal and one for the business >> of course for you but what I'm saying is
like >> some of these huh >> a trainer >> some of them >> individuals must have a license >> their license >> business license >> like a barber shop you know you have to have the barber shop license and individual barber
>> well the only like for example HR consultants a lot of them like there's not they're not going to have a license like they home you know they're or whatever like >> they promote their >> if they're an employee within a company. So like for example a banker, they're not going to have a >> license thing right now. Bankers,
>> right? They're not going to have a BTR. >> No, no, I don't. Listen, if you're saying though, like if we if we make it, you need to have a BTR license. That's going to cut out a lot. Have we required that in the past? >> I think last year you guys double check for it. Always double check to make sure
that they're they work here. >> They're legit. >> We haven't mentioned anything of that in the promo, so just let me know. I mean, I don't know if we want to either require kind of like EDC, right? To serve on EDC, you either have to live in the time town of Miami Lakes or do business in the town of Miami Lakes. So,
if they, you know, if they don't have a BTR license, but they're a resident, >> I don't know if we want to be okay with that >> because there's a lot of consultants or people who work for other companies, you know, like they could get shout like whatever Jose, you know, could be voted
best banker. No, he doesn't. >> No, I don't think that's legit for >> if he's doing his business in a gable >> or in the or anything like that. Well, you don't qualify just because you're a resident, right? No, >> I shouldn't be. >> If somebody can go to an establishment
or to a place, right, and see you there, >> right? So, you're in this family, right? >> Not necessarily. Not necessarily because like the picture come the picture coming. I mean don't go but do do you work what you work out of the house? >> Yeah. Oh, but that's
>> I will mention I mean maybe it's my personal take on it, but if you guys are talking about rewarding the individual like I mean similarly we like cultural affairs does women of distinction and that is more of the individual as a professional and their accomplishments
and achievements. I I do think this is more geared towards them. >> Yeah. Okay. >> So then you're in the business of >> license required. Okay. Then establish a business for dog walking so we can nominate you.
>> Yeah. >> Great place. >> Broker market to your excluded me because I my office is not here. >> Right. >> Yeah. >> I think that'd be fair.
>> I think you guys should make a role. >> Yeah. I said don't count >> not for this but for business >> but that's not buying like the businesses that are here so that's I mean that's the whole point of it right
>> I understand I just I like I think anybody thinks of my audience they think that she's a Miami >> she's she's doing a lot of business in the town you know she spends marketing dollars in the town I think this is a divisive issue. I think we do. I think we need to make a vote. >> The problem with that is that there's
gray area then you're either doing it or you're not because we know so we know that detail but we may not know everybody else like that. So then we have to go and decipher for wait that person's consider let's ask around >> how many yeah you should be very specific what the parameters
are the entire United States and even outside of the United States I think >> promoting that they can hire and [ __ ] from you know it's like we should really put a motion for >> somebody whatever
What's a motion? >> Somebody needs to >> Okay. I motion to include the items listed by uh Romy on, you know, on each description. >> Well, you're trying to get away from the real motion.
>> I think Jessica is very passionate and she should motion the motion. I motion that whatever business is nominated or makes our top however that's involved in this has to have a VTR with a top
>> right but the question is and and and I need a point of clarification. So if they nominate Jessica as the best banker in Miami League I >> I fall under the BTR for US Century Bank that has a location here.
So, so then there's that caveat that if you are an individual that works for a larger organization, that organization has to have a BTR in Miami. >> There has to be a BTR tied to you that >> for you or your employer. If you're employed,
>> I mean, if you work for for entities, you need to have an individual license plus no, >> right? >> We do not require >> No, no. No, I understand that. I think that might the differences >> just just to make just to make it clear. >> Yeah. work for a law firm. You don't you don't
>> I thought this was >> okay that there that the individual has to have >> tied to a BTR >> establishment individual or we haven't voted so
