wonderful uh renaming uh public safety committee and Miami Lakes residents. Welcome to the uh Jud public safety committee uh monthly meeting. We are I'm calling this meeting for order at 7:02
p.m. So I'm going to go ahead and put it on here. 7:02 calling roles here. Nancy >> here. >> Mr. George >> here. >> Okay. Uh I would like to inform the committee that uh car resigned the type
of last week uh Tuesday or last week. Okay. I want to thank him for this committee and wish them well. >> Uh going on to the next uh item on our agenda, owner of business. Any subs? I'm going to
hear none. I'm going to go ahead and and uh assume that uh we have none. Okay. Adoption of minutes. Okay. I'm going to in the agenda packet that you all have, there is a uh um a minutes from the last meeting that is redlined.
A few things that I noticed when I was reviewing the minutes is that Mr. Pñena did have an absence on on September 30th. Um so I want to make sure that that's reflected for the record. And also uh wanted to explain to the public
uh why there was a motion that failed for $600 instead of uh so here's the way the motion should read. That way we can be transparent. Motion was made by Carlo Dress to pay the $600 invoice instead of $200 previously agreed due to administrative disagreement by vendor treforce. The disagreement was due to
normal price is $1,200 and office vendor discounted it to 600. Motion received a second from George Pena. All were not in favor. Motion failed to pass. Okay, this is just to explain uh why is it that we were going from $200 to $600 and why it failed. Okay, so I make a motion to um
uh approve the minutes with these red line changes also. >> Okay, so let's go ahead and make sure we document that. So we have uh CA and uh and JT. All in favor say I.
>> I. Any against? Hearing none. Okay. Uh we're on to now public comments. I would like to recognize uh Miss Kiki and our uh our our uh veteran from public safety committee Omar which is here joining us if you all wanted to say anything um you
know as part of as part of public college. >> Hi Christina Gonzalez um I finally was able to submit my application today to join your committee. So I got a call
already that it's been moving. The ball's been rolling. So looks if I make it >> very excited. So you >> more welcome. I say anything. >> No. >> It's I'm sure everybody now has a heads
reviewing the agenda, but you know, it's always good to see you. Yeah. Uh just for you know the the people walking watching at home um Omar was part of public safety from its inception. Right. And he served on the committee for over 10 years. Right. >> Yeah.
>> So always always good to have him here joining us. Okay. I'm going to move on to uh public comments. Uh first we're going to recognize um uh Captainio from the Miami Day. Um so the good news is that I am officially finally um able to come to
these meetings on duty. So I will be the I guess the liaison for lack of a better word. So at some point I don't know if Isabella you would be the point of contact like like you need to tell me what is it you would need from the fire department exactly. So I like um like
obviously deputy amador stats and stuff like that. So at some point just hey this is typically what we and then that way I could get that but like I said luckily I'm on duty today as you can see. So yes courtesy of our division chief he's allowed me to come to the
east on duty when the meeting falls on duty obviously if I'm off duty I'll I'll still be here so you know um which is a good thing. Yeah. >> So that's even a plus I think. >> No this is huge. I mean as as on behalf of the committee we're super happy about this because I remember from when I
joined the committee and Nancy was saying well where's fire correct you know we don't have representative here now we can uh double it right and disrespect to no disrespect to the committee but division chiefs these guys are overwhelmed >> especially now and it's hard for them to
really probably take time a couple hours from their schedule so I luckily I was and he and chief he's my division chief he was able to see it that way and he says I agree 100%. I we appreciate you wanting to step in. I think it's a no-brainer. I live here, right?
>> So, you know, again, looking forward to it and that new role. So, >> now is that is that through uh Keith Lebron? >> Yes. Yes. Yes. I I did um so so truth be told, I boots out to him. I felt super bad because he was actually in Paris with his wife
>> because remember I said, "Hey, I want to be on duty." And I said, "Chief, I hate to do this to you, but says, you know, Darwin, just tell them what you need." And luckily, again, we have a good working relationship that he literally made it happen from Paris. >> Obviously at that level, these guys know
each other. He made a phone call and basically at 5:00 today, I was relieved. There was another captain there who's there for 4 hours and then I go back tonight obviously at at 9:00. So, they typically we do 4-hour blocks. So, I think because of travel time, um, I said, "Hey, 5 to 9 is is is doable." So,
um, yeah. So, um, and again, it'll be far in between. Maybe I'm thinking maybe two, three times a year at that depending on like technically I won't work another Tuesday till 3 weeks from now. So, for whatever reason, if our next meeting is three weeks from now, then I'll do the same. >> Okay.
>> But, you know, typically we meet the last Tuesday of the month. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, again, next next next one should not be an issue, >> right? No, I I think and please guys, you know, chime in and gals. I personally what I would like to see is where can we help with recurring issues
right if there's a recurring issue related to X then let's talk about it so we can put it to a PSA or put it to to discussion so we can work together with uh with you know you know >> I mean again depending on Listen guys hurricane season is coming or we are in hurricane season so unfortunately
sometimes I might get deployed but I think that goes hand in hand even with probably here I'm pretty sure the the town will be closed you know stuff like that so yeah there might be that time unfortunately for whatever reason. At the end of the day, my career does take precedence. Obviously, if I need it then, you know, but definitely I'll let
you guys know prior, you know, we we know if we're going to get deployed for whatever or we're or activated, you know, when we go to Alpha Bravo, obviously Zod's, you know, law enforcement. So, you know, I'll definitely give you guys of any, you know, notification prior.
>> Just all of a sudden it hit me because you pointed. Has there ever been an occasion where you've been deployed and they have not? Is it like even in a fire you need them? You pretty much when there's an emergency you guys pretty much work together.
>> It depends on the location. So So I'm I'm part of the uh we have it's called the use urban search and rescue and depending a lot of it has has to do with your specialty and again so yes sometimes we might get deployed basically it could be domestic or
international. So depending on where where that where whatever you know let's say earthquake or so but yeah typically I think they wherever you go they do have law enforcement already there. Um I think I did see the last one I mean I remember going to
the the keys and I think I I saw I saw the Naples I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Every now and then. Yeah. See that? So but yes. So that's this is that's uh definitely that's that's a step in the right
direction. >> Yeah. And and so >> I mean right now we're at the end of June, but you know definitely a conversation for next summer. We got to talk about hurricane preparedness and see how we can help the residents out and making sure that you know certain things are done beforehand.
>> So all good news. Uh Deputy Aidor, good to see you. >> Yes. >> Little run around a little action before the meeting. Um, yes, everything's good. So, um, for for those that don't know, there was a chase from Myar, uh, I
believe stolen vehicle, but I'm not sure exactly how, um, how bad it was, but we got involved because they came through and they got off of Miami Lakes Drive. And when they got off, Miami Lakes is is
so hard to navigate. So, the bailout was um there on Cypress Village. um FHP, Miami Gardens, uh ourselves, everybody u trying to get the guy. Um he jumped into the water. So now that's another element, another problem. Finally, he
was taken to custody after being tased because he started fighting back. So everything just escalated into more and more. Um but he's in custody. Everything's good. No one got hurt. And uh all we have is just a big scene over there and um um media is there and just
you know it's a just a big scene. It's just good but it's everything's good. Everybody's good. Yeah. >> And look, you came over here still perfect and everything. You know what? I'm finally in here. He's getting off on extra go. Oh, wait a second. Now he
knows, >> you know. Yeah. >> Well, I appreciate always uh keeping us informed. Um I guess that doesn't show up in our stats, right? Oh, and and I I believe Miami Gardens is going to have to have those.
>> I believe they're going to not or FHP, one of the two because it's not it's not going to be ours. We we're we're just back up at this point. >> Yeah. We're not going to do the um main reports or anything like that. >> Okay. Wonderful. >> Okay. So, um I I guess I know that because you were obviously held this
call. So, the stats we'll just discuss on next meeting. >> I have the stats. >> Oh, you do? >> You do it all. I do it all. in the car on the car. >> I had the gun on one hand and like this
>> and I had like this gun. >> So I had a wild man fired. >> No, that no. And I got the pictures. >> You can talk whatever you want about police, man. You guys have been wild. You've been dealing with >> crazy stuff. Crazy stuff. So and we you
walk outside and you smell it. So yeah, it's it's amazing. Um, so I got I got the stats here. Homicides were still at zero. Um, robberies, we had one robbery and that we're down because last year we had two
already by this time. Autothefts were at 18 and we're down by two. We had 20 by this time. Commercial burglaries, um, we have zero. We have one last year by this time. residential. Uh we have four um
we're up by three. We had one um last year by this time. So everything's looking good. >> And for the record, the residential four is really three because you you have one person at the two homes. >> Yes. Right. Right. That's
>> right. It's all divided up. >> Yeah. >> And I think that the most important thing is we just got to continue staying vigilant um as as neighborhoods. If we have a neighborhood chat, you know, make sure you have the non-emergency number that you share with folks. Um, you know, this is why we have them. I personally have used the non-emergency number many
times. Uh, you can never be too sure of of a person that's passing by that you don't recognize. We want to excuse everybody as either Uber or, you know, Amazon. Uh, but guess what? Those people just have a destination to go to and and they're out. If someone is slow or, you know, you know, creeping around, just
call the non- emergency number. Um if the committee wouldn't mind, I would like to just um recognize one person that came in um as you know from the public. Thank you and welcome. Would you like to say anything? >> I just Franko here um was emailed that there was a slot open on the committee.
Um I attended in the past, but I think there's a one-year requirement to attend uh two meetings before becoming a member. So I'm just here to build that part. Ready. >> Frankie Green.
>> G E L E G R. Yeah. [laughter] >> Did you hear what he said? I said I might I I whispered. >> Did not make a scene, but his answer required. >> Yeah. And and I think the requirement is two you attend two meetings to apply uh
for for committee. But you know, thank you for your service. I know you I think you work for Homeland, right? Homeland Security Gary. So, >> thank you. Appreciate it. >> Yeah. So, thank you for joining us. Uh we try to keep our our meetings uh you know, as as enjoyable as possible. >> Absolutely. >> Okay. Wonderful. All right. So, let's uh going down the order of business. All
right. Partnership with neighborhood improvement committee back to nature event. I would like to um inform the committee that uh our vice chair Nancy was absolutely correct in leading the effort not to pay the $600. There was some bumping aheads administratively, but they finally agreed to the $200 that
they originally um ordered us. So, the $200 was paid um to the vendor for back to nature. Again, for the benefit of the of you all, you know, this is usually, you know, $1,200. They discount the $600 and if you know, so next year we decided to have this event, it's probably going
to be the ve at the very minimum $600 for shred. All right? So, we'll we'll tackle that next year, but I wanted to keep you all informed. Okay. Now, slow down yard signs. Um, this doesn't have to be as as as difficult as it has been with these slow
down signs, but I want to give you all uh an update of what's going on there. So, I've been called by many people that have been to the town hall that the signs keep showing up here. Why do the kinds of signs keep showing up? It's because they keep picking them up. I don't know why they keep picking them up. because when we place them and
everyone on this committee knows that we cannot place them on the swale. I don't know why they continue to be picked up. All right. Now, um that's one aspect. I'm going to stop right there for a second uh to Isabella. Do you have any idea why they continue to be picked up?
>> No, I haven't received any communication. >> Yeah. Look at them all here. Look at them all here in the corner. All right. Yes, ma'am. when they're returned to town hall, are they just dumped off and somebody leaves or do they say we picked these up
because or our homeowners is there a person who's live and speaking explaining why they're returning them? >> Okay. So, so the idea is that there is an open communication line between Omar, our public works director, and the lawyering group or the litter crew,
right? So, the litter crew is the one that's picking them up. Now what I've done is that I've spoken to our receptionist Sandra and I've told her if someone comes in asking for a sign just give them a sign from there because at this point there's already a sign right. >> So um
>> but you don't keep a record of where it's going or or or if it's staying in the town. I don't think that's >> well distributing them. >> That would be a question for for for our public works department where they're being picked up from. Um, but I can tell
you that we at I know here in this body, we've put them not in the swale. That's one. Two, we effectively I want to say two weeks ago put out a story on Instagram stating where they should go, which is not in the swim. So, we've done
the aspect of the PSA, which was actually your I want to say your motion last night to do a PSA. So, we did that. um why they're being picked up now. That's really a conversation for for um Omar. But there is some good news. But before I get to the good news, I want to recognize Johnny Torres that he had his
hand. >> Oh, no. No. Because [clears throat] the one in my house, it was picked up by the guy the code compliance. The truck that goes around the pickup truck that says code compliances. He was the one that picked up the one that I put in front of my house. I don't know
why he put took it out, but he took >> Did you have it in the swale or in? >> No, no. I had it close to my house, but now I have it more inside and they haven't touched that one. But the one that picked it up was the guy at the co compliances. He was driving. He just
stopped and took it. >> But he took it. But you had it in the swale when he took it. Okay. >> Right. In my house and inside of the house and they took it. >> Yeah. If if it's on the other side of the sidewalk, they shouldn't take it. The only place they can take it, so you all know, is homeowners association. But
you have an HOA that doesn't allow it, then they can pick it up. Like Rolls does have that. >> But we don't. >> That's the only. >> Yeah. Yes, ma'am. >> Can we have a word with someone from public works >> and say, "Listen, we are aware that one
of your workers is picking up. Maybe they're not aware that we have permission. It's all came with the town." dy dy and try to close that gap at least if we already know it's a public works person. There's just maybe
a misunderstanding that we can speak to public works. I think it's worth the effort. >> Well, I I I I think you have a good feeling, but what I did hear is that I I on your agenda packet there is a uh what is called a new business item from Councilman Ray Garcia and the subject is
town sanctioned signs. >> You what? So this is this is an attached so it's a memorandum. >> Okay. So the spirit of this memorandum is that >> I reached out when this was happening. I spoke to several council members and including army about the issues that
were going on. And the conversation was like no no this doesn't really make a lot of sense. We got to figure out a way to make this work. So, Councilman Garcia has uh what he's done is he has spoken to our town attorney and they're in the
midst of drafting a um an ordinance that would allow us or any committee for that matter to put signs in swailes as long as they approve the council. >> In the case of us, we pretty much had approval when we went in January and did
the slow down signs. So they should be hopefully having that actually hopefully no they should be having the first reading in July where they approve it. So yes to NY's point yeah we could have a conversation but now this will become ordinance right now the the the field
the flavor in the room is we only have two council members that are potentially against it. They voted for to move it forward but they're against it or I'm sorry I wouldn't say against it because they voted for it. They have concerns and their concerns is well if this ordinance comes through what about other
people we're going to run into other issues but I would say and I'm going to lobby it and I I I recommend all of you to lobby it especially you Darwin because one of them is Garcia that has a concern about it is Mr. you know Mr. council member, this is has to be
approved through you all. This is not something like a back door or nothing like that. This has to go through you and it's really geared more than anything towards public safety, >> right? >> It's not like we're promoting restaurants. It's promoting safety. So, I I don't see why it's a big deal.
>> Yeah, I know. And then and then the other thing is that as well you have to consider and something that Sanchez brought up is right now what do you see when you drive down 154th when you're going from east to west? Slow down. >> Yeah. >> Right. Right down in the middle. Right.
So there's already a lot of things going on here that I feel are not taken in to account and this is why we're we've gotten to this point. >> So um yeah public com I'm sorry I know public. >> Yeah. I I just want to ask is it
permanent? Usually every fourth July 911 on my street I put out flags right >> on the swailes. Um is that I guess technically disallowed per the current ordinance and >> yes.
>> Okay. Yes. I by like by by the order you're not supposed to put nothing in this way. >> But there is when it comes to course it hurts. I mean, the whole the whole thing has really been this has gotten to the point of, in my opinion, a little ridiculous. It is
>> because I've had our signs that Nancy gave me, slow down, lower, sorry, drive like your kids live here. I had that for in front of my house for two years. >> No one did anything to them. Now, all of a sudden, we're giving out the slow down signs and they're all being picked up >> on the sw. >> So, I even got to the point where I
said, "Okay, fine. Let's see if they pick up the ones that do private property. I put it on grand property. They don't touch it because I can tell you right now the grounds are going to support it. They're not going to pick it up. And it's true. What do you see on the par three when you're driving from west to east? You see one right there. I put that there. All right. So, um yes, I
do think this has gotten extreme for lack of better words. I really do think so. You know, and uh hopefully this this ordinance um can help us. >> Well, you know, so why? >> No, it's it's it was the order was given from our public works director. He's the one that said to pick them up when they
went on swale. >> Why did anybody question him? >> I did. And and he says if you don't put them in the swale, you shouldn't have a problem. But why are they continuing to be picked up? Because right now I I know I'm putting them not in the swale. So why are they being picked up? I don't know. I'm only thinking that there's
been some residents that have reached out to me that have picked it up and have put in the swale possibly because they just, you know, they probably not informed or whatever and and that's where they're picking them up. But I see about 10 signs over there. Do I think that 10 people have put on the
SWO? I don't think so. >> Oh, so I saw them on my next >> your house. Yeah, >> the one next to your house. Have we put it in the soil? >> No. >> The one by and the one by the nursery on the corner that was there like a day or two and then it was gone. >> Exactly. >> And it was way inside away from the sidewalk.
>> Right. When we have someone approach us to get us on, [clears throat] would it be possible to have a piece of paper that we give and that says where it can go, where it can't go,
and whatever. And then we also do some kind of PSA stating why the signs are there, why we have permission, where they can go. If you see one that's in an illegal area,
you know, we'd be more than happy to come pick it up. I'll go pick it up. But rather than, you know, pay a lot of money for those things and have people picking them up willy-nilly, putting them wherever the heck they want in a garbage can. You know, we can't afford to do that either. So perhaps some kind
of you come to me and say I need three signs. Okay, here's the piece of paper. Here's the rules. This you can read it to the person you're hand delivering it to or you can paper clip it to wherever you're dumping it to give to that person. But I think that little piece of
paper with the rules is better than having a sign thrown in the garbage. >> But my question is >> it's cheaper. >> A resident take picking them up. I don't think the resident are taking them out and bringing it over here. >> No, no. This that's it's the litter crew. The litter crew is the one that's
doing it. >> So why can't we just address it with them and be like, "But >> well here again the action that I and I can tell you all I I can represent [clears throat] to you all because I have dealt with even the town manager has been involved in this matter. If
it's not in this, they shouldn't pick it up. So, I can follow up again and ask them, listen, why are these being picked up? To NY's point, what's the problem? However, I can tell you all based on your suggestion, I don't think we should
do any more PSA because when this ordinance goes through and they vote for it, guess what? It can be put in the swale. So, I don't want to confuse anybody. >> Yeah, I agree. >> I want the ordinance to go through and I think it'll be I think we have enough support to get it passed. >> When When is that?
>> When is that? >> That's next. Next. That's July. July. >> So, in the meantime, let's agree not to border any more signs out and hand out any more signs. >> We can absolutely put them out. They just cannot be in >> that. I think that his mind [clears throat]
someone went back and put them. I mean, I've seen on my block. I see one in your block in the corner. It's legal. >> Yeah. Still additional on everyone just because it's inside the park. It's not on the swift. But what I'm saying is I I don't
suggest that we do any more DSAs. In fact, I was even going to put some lettering on there about don't put it on the sw. But again, we might get what we want by this ordinance being passed because the whole idea is this should be like I would say I don't know every year or every other year we should be doing this campaign.
>> Well, it should be the a whole year. >> We should leave them on the whole year. I don't at some point if people say look it looks bad, you know, whatever. Okay, fine. Serve this purpose. Move on, you know. But um I just wanted to inform you all what's going on. If you if the committee I can I can ask I can ask the
director Santos. Hey, what why do they keep showing up, you know, and he's I know what he's going to tell me. Oh, because residents are putting in sweat. That's what he's going to tell me, but I'm going to I'll go and ask him. >> No, no, but let's just wait. Once it pass, if once it pass, if they can show
it up, I'll be like, what's the skills now? >> Right. So, >> okay. [clears throat] All right. So, then that that takes care of that item. Let's go ahead and move on to um the next item is law enforcement awareness month. Okay, the law enforcement awareness month was a huge success this
Thursday. Uh I was supposed to present to the ZA um club last month, but they had their elections. So they moved my presentation to this month, which is on Thursday. I was going to have a representative from NVSO, which was going to be uh Detective Need
um the better looking half of uh of uh Deputy Amador's uh school over there. Just kidding. I'm just jealous of his hair after a chase. It's perfectly all in one place. Um and then um I don't know, Captain Darwin uh that I'm saying, do you want to join this Thursday for
that dinner? >> This Thursday, what time? >> I want to say it's at 6:00 or 6:30. >> Okay. I mean if you can the whole idea is what I was thinking is I only it's funny I thought I was going to get more time to speak I'm only getting 15 minutes so the whole idea is I was probably the whole
thing is public safety related law enforcement awareness book what we do as a committee the partnerships we look for in the community especially Zola was so important to partner with them and I was going to have detective say a little sliver and then have you say a little sliver about fire obviously yours now is huge it's it's all what's going on
>> but I would need to know if you want to go one and two if you want to eat dinner because you know that's they're offering him money there. Sorry. It's at Pamper Chef >> here in the Pendle. Yeah. >> Okay. Yep. I should be able to make that. >> Okay, cool. So,
>> um and I think that's nice because I know there was some members here that were able to attend the lunchon, correct? And I know you weren't able to and wasn't able to. So, next spreading the love here. >> Okay. All right. So, we'll talk about after the meeting to iron and all that. Okay. Very good news, everybody. I
officially got uh some some breathing room to have a golf cart safety video script. I'm so happy. So happy. The good news is breathe. >> Okay, so [clears throat] here's So the good let's let's start off first. Before
we go into the script, I want to tell you all like what's going on kind of like uh globally a few things that are going on. The community is in a war. Okay, I don't know if you all saw the video on Facebook what happened in Color Bay. with the golf cart hitting the car and the kid flying out. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. >> And everybody's like screaming, "Oh my god, we shouldn't have this in Miami Lakes." Blah blah blah blah blah. But if you look at the video closer, the car is going on the wrong side of the street. >> Mhm. >> Okay. So, um you know what I told this Facebook page, I said, "Hey, it's well
overdue. We actually are working on a on a golf car safety video." Um, and there was some push back about this and that and the other, but you know, nonetheless, you know, what I told him is, hey, look, as a committee, we get contacted about people not following the rules. And I see it. I know we see it.
But I can tell you on my personal opinion, the greater majority of people that are riding golf carts are following the rules. I see people enjoying them, etc., etc. However, this script is going to answer a lot of those questions. Now I want to say something before I go into
the script. Something else I want to tell you administratively something that has changed now with MDSO being a constitutional office there's a lot more let's just call it procedures in place. All right. So where before we
used to do a script give it to the major the major approves it and we're done. That is no longer the case. We now have to give it to them. The good news is they've approved this. our major uh Inola and and and the command staff has approved the scripts. However, it
still has to go to headquarters and go through those procedures. Right now, we have the option of not including them and just doing it us. However, I feel that would be a tremendous failure. I think they should be included, you know, um for many
reasons, authority, what how they, you know, their law enforcement etc etc. So, um, what I've done is I want to go through the script right now and then if this committee has any changes, we can add the changes and I need to give it to
Sergeant Sodto and the major first thing in in the morning so that they can get it up and get us approved so we can start filming uh sooner people. >> That's in the packet as well. Isabella, I wanted to uh film it today with all the different prints I I gave us. >> All right. So, we're going to take it
from the top. All right. What we're going to do is the way we're going to do this is I'm going to read a sentence or a paragraph and you all will stop me and tell me either A you spelled something wrong which Nancy does quite often or B tell me that what you're saying is doesn't sound good. The town of Miami Lakes is one of the very few cities in
Miami date county that allows golf carts on their roads. This luxury does come with requirements in order for everyone to be safe. And now what I'm putting in parenthesis is the scripts group of golf carts driving around. Okay. So, that's, you know, I already spoke to the golf
cart community. We're gonna have maybe like six or seven cars kind of driving around and then >> in the video, not correct. >> In the script. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> All right. I'm going to keep reading and you guys tell me to stop if you don't agree with something. >> Obtain your annual permit at golf registration Miami Lakes. Show page and
visual of permit sticker on Denise's golf cart. Now, just you all know Denise White is pretty much like their Miami Golf Card Club president. All right. So that's where we want to show the page and the visual display on our park. Okay. Golf carts can be used on our town
streets and not on 57, 67, and 87 avenues. Show diagram. Intersections regulated by a traffic signal can be used through these avenues. What I'm trying to explain here is that if you have to cross over from let's just say
um Miami Lakeway and you have to go to Miami Lakeway north from south to north you got to go through that intersection. So, I'm just saying that you can use them, right? The diagram is to put X's over those areas. 57 67 87. Gan is going to put Gani's our videographer you all
that we approved to give him the uh video the videography fitness. Put an X over that to kind of show they can use that. Okay. But [clears throat] in that video, you need to emphasize because anybody they live where I live by the the soccer
field cannot use that street to cross because the only way to use 87 to cross is if you actually go on 87, go all the way to 170 or go all the way down to 154. That's the issue that that one is having
on a daily basis. I'll defer that to uh deputy. How do you handle that situation? >> Why can't they? >> Because when you coming when you getting out of those houses there and when you're getting out of those soccer fields, there's no street that you can
cross over unless you go all the way down to 154 or you want all the way up to 170. And in order to do that, you need to go in 87. So technically that's breaking them up because they cannot be on 87 either
going up or down 87. >> Even there's no other way to get there. >> There's no way. So that's the because the other day I was going home in level two and I actually lower the window like you guys do know that you cannot use 87. No, we can use any street here. I'm
gonna Okay, get get your story straight. You cannot live here. How I'm going to get home? I don't know. The only way that that could be mitigated is if if there's some sort of exception that the town can can um can have because as is
there there is I'm thinking about it. There's no way of getting in and out. >> And yes, then you're you're going to be on the sidewalk because okay, you're not going to be in the street but you're still on 87. >> So you could put residents of that area only. >> I'm thinking maybe we just remove it
from the diagram. technically it's incorrect but I mean he he has valid point how are they going to try >> are they going to go up and down >> they can't >> it should be incorrect >> I would tell you >> not to take it out because that is what is correct >> yeah that is what correct
>> so that that they're doing it incorrectly I think that can be mitigated different way but you're putting on here what is the actual law >> and that's really what you're you're the information you're giving is what it is
they want to Hey, if if they're unable to navigate around it, that really is a problem. But you are giving them the information of what it is. >> Okay. Well, in that case, we'll leave it as is, Mr. Omar. >> Sorry. 87. Does it have like a bike path?
>> Technically, they cannot go on the sidewalk. >> Oh, that's a problem. They cannot go anywhere. They need to be in the streets and then they cannot use the street. >> The fix would have been they can just go to Royal Oaks, but Royal Oaks is all closed off. That's the base. Well, yes, ma'am.
>> It's enough of a public safety committee or public safety issue relate streets, which we are the only we have only a say on those types
of so if we qualify there, then I think it needs to be addressed. It needs to be addressed with public works. It needs to be addressed with the town, the mayor. It's a safety issue. People are getting hurt. It's got to be addressed. We can't ignore it just because we can't come up
with a solution. It's not really our job come up with a solution, but we do have to point out the problem. Otherwise, we're remiss. We're already got it on record that we've talked about it. I think we need to address it and address it further right before the
>> Well, council, it's got to be brought up by somebody. Well, here here's here's what I suggest we do. I suggest we stick to the the uh the law and the ordinance, which is what's defining. That's what the ordinance says. The ordinance specifically says not 87 Avenue, but let's just
>> Is it Is it posted? >> Yes, it's on the ordinance. >> It is posted on signs along the way. >> No, there is no sign. There's no signs anywhere. >> Yeah, there's no sign. The thing is when you do the permit, those dot information is in those papers. When you get a
signing acknowledging that 87 [clears throat] belong to Miami Day County and you cannot drive your golf car in 87 before you get that permit saying that you pass the requirement. >> It just says you cannot there's no there's no
>> they're not going to show you a diagram with everything, but it it does say that when you read and acknowledge they tell you they have 57 67 and 80. >> There's no status as to what the punishment would be. you know, you could get a ticket. I think somewhere along the line,
>> we should bring it up that while it doesn't say you could get a ticket or whatever, that it's dangerous. I think we need to at least say something. We can't put up signs and all that other business, but it needs to be a little more
public >> to the general public than drive that way. I don't even know where the area is. Never much >> 87. Even if you could ride your golfer an 87, it's actually unsafe because >> No, they're speeding. >> That's what it is. You know,
>> but have you seen golf carts riding? >> Oh, yeah. >> Then therefore, they don't care about it. They think they've got the right there. It's some where I think it's our responsibility as a committee to educate the public because somebody from where I
live could drive over there with their little cart and think they're doing everything. If there's no science, they don't know enough to follow the rule. >> But but in this case, remember this this that's we can make recommendations of science. But I think right now we stick to the task I have. The scope of this
project is to do a PS ESA and then you want to talk about science. We can do that as as a side project. >> Maybe include it in the PSA just by the way. >> No, no, but it will be it's going to point out that you cannot use it in 67 57 and 87. So that
>> Yeah, it's And that's why Nessie, make sure you're looking at this. >> I'm looking at I got a wallpaper over here. >> Yeah. make sure because again you go to and and maybe I need to do something more interactive like in the future where I just share on the screen but um
it's on I know that it's on the ordinance it's obviously much harder on my phone to to look at look at it but 87 is spelled out and funny enough 57 is spelled out I think in one place but not another place and I was like oh my god 57 is super dangerous so we got to make sure we say that
>> you're making a PSA you're doing a PSA yeah Right. Make that last sentence. >> Yeah. This is the this is the script. >> Yeah. >> Stress that. That should be enough for now. >> Right. So, do we have any comments related to this as
>> No. Yes, sir. Yeah. Question. >> I was just going to say on on the um getting the sticker to have the ballpark license. >> Yeah. >> Um repercussions for not getting the sticker. It runs in the same vein as this. Uh, I know a couple different
people that skirt that issue and I feel like if there was I don't know what the exact consequences are, but I feel like that was made more aware in the PSA, maybe it would encourage people to pursue the sticker. >> Well, because I believe it'll help.
That's what we're running at now. >> Because because right here we're we're diving into in the PSA um what is being asked when you register, right? And that's what we're getting into now. But however, what we don't want to do, and this has already been vetted through our
our sheriff's office, is that we don't want to get into the whole um aspect of or else, you know, or what are we going to do for you to you if you don't do this, you don't do that. This is we're going to stick to just safety precautions. This
is what you have to do. Okay? And that's advice from from town management. Okay? So, let me let me because I've been there. Correct me if I'm wrong. This is twofold. So obviously if it's a like my I have mine is street legal. I have a tag and everything. >> Technically I should be able to go on
5768 because I have a tag. >> Correct. >> So the town does have I guess where for lack of a better word register with the town. >> Those are not allowed on 67. Right. >> Yeah. >> That's what that's for. If it's like my
street seat belt I have a 10. >> Yes. In that case, what he's saying is true. If yours is strictly legal, that you put a tag, you put you make sure that everything is 100% legal, you can go on 87, 57, and 67. The one with those stickers cannot.
>> Yeah. >> Or maybe we should throw in that part >> except you for street. >> Make sure we we we we differentiate. >> That's not what we discussed. I don't think that's what because my research doesn't say that
>> but because this is not for this is for what the town is requiring with a sticker >> because if you have if you have a tag if you register through let car and you have a tag it's a vehicle >> it's a vehicle but a vehicle nonetheless
87 67 all that does not apply they can that that golf car can go on any road that any vehicle can go on except for the highway >> correct >> the highway is the only place that they cannot correct. >> And if you don't register, >> if you don't register at all,
>> yeah, >> like with the town at all, you don't have the state, you're you're completely legal on the golf course, >> which means they don't. >> Oh, that's a citation. No, it's a citation. Um um towing the 19 because you're using a
unregistered vehicle >> uh in in a road. That's because the golf cart turns into a vehicle when you put it on the road. It's not a vehicle, it's a golf cart, but it turns into a slowm moving vehicle when you put it on the road. Now you're the classification. You're changing it yourself. You don't have a sticker. It's not Now you change
the classification. If you if you're on private property, it's a if it's a go. >> And I'm sorry. That's what I meant as an emphasis to get the sticker as a deterrent to to not, you know, >> Oh, no, no, but but it is like if you don't have the sticker right now, if you stop with somebody and that person doesn't have a sticker, there's a fine.
they told the the the the golf cart and and and in this regular question, right? What are you doing? >> And I'm saying for the purposes of the PSA, it it might encourage others to get if they knew that that could potentially happen. >> Yeah. And I understand what you're saying, but the way it was advised was
to stay away from that. >> We want to stick to safety. That's what the way it was. and and and I mean you >> I mean what what what when what when what we set that up >> I think should be done is um maybe like at the end of the PSA is is advised that
any golf cart that has been registered through the ADHV that has a tag there it's a separate requirement >> they just go by any vehicle like the verb is to say go by a vehicle >> that is not yeah considered a
>> yeah it's it's not this is not it's not this is not what it is for that vehicle because what Darwin is saying is 100%. So if you want to stick to that, I would say or somewhere in there, this does not apply to
>> Yeah, this does not apply to golf through the DHV and have a tag, a Florida issued tag. >> And we can even put the Florida statute, which I have cuz I go through the process for mine. >> We can put the statute. There is a statute. >> Yeah. To get it registered and all that.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I have all the requirements. It's it's it's basically you're a slow moving vehicle, right? You're a vehicle. You can go anywhere except for the high. >> So, you're saying that you can roam all over Miami date county? Yes. As long as you don't go into a highway. >> Yeah. As long as you go to highway. Yeah. His golf cart, he just
>> leave Miami legs, come in, do whatever you want. >> There's even there's even a minimum speed. It's got to have a certain speed. >> So, yeah. Thank you. >> You can just add a sentence here to that effect. Unless your golf cart is whatever terminology you want to use
>> um slowing register register with the state and have any >> is turned into a slow moving vehicle. >> But you can say something like that like your golf cart is now turned into a slow moving vehicle >> through the state through the vehicle and it has a tag that way and then an image of a golf cart with a tag an
actual tag on it. So, all I was trying to do was emphasize the need for people to get informed about the responsibility that they're signing up for when they register their their their golf cart. I didn't mean to sidetrack the conversation, but I I do think that getting the sticker is an
important thing and I think that there's important understandings and agreements that you, you know, sign up for when you get the sticker. Um, and knowing the consequences is is just a good thing to have. All right. Unless you're
registered with the department of >> it's for department of um no it's >> state of Florida >> HMBB highway motor vehicle >> motor vehicle >> Florida department of highway safety motor vehicle >> I mean the easy way to know is that if
you have a tag >> a tag >> if you have a tag that was issued you're good if you don't have a tag then you need to have >> a uh the sticker from the town that >> but if you have the sticker you You're not going to >> mine I had I couldn't even drive it there. I had it. It's funny. Isn't it
sound? I had it towed to so they could do an inspection. >> Yeah. You can't drive it cuz it's not tagged yet. >> The one inco. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> It's the same thing that happens when we have like the Veterans Day parade, >> right? >> The if those those golf carts that are
going to be in the parade, they don't need a tag. They don't need a stick or anything, but how do they get to the parade is the question, >> right? Right. So then in that case what I'm the the way the sentence is reading is golf carts can be used on our town streets and not on 57 67 87 avenues show
diagram unless you are registered with the department of highway safety vehicle as a slowmoving vehicle. These are identified by a license plate >> state of Florida tag. >> Yeah. Okay. These are these are a
by a Florida license. Okay. I'll set I'll sell you the statue so you could kind of again maybe good idea to put the statue in there >> please. >> Because maybe somebody will put an old tag on it just to be able to put it on the street. >> No, it's got to be res. >> How about >> No, but somebody
>> No, no, that doesn't happen. >> Miami cities in Miami date county that allows golf carts on their roads. How about that? Allows state register. Whatever. They got to have a registration in order
to ride on our roads, right? >> Well, >> we let them ride on our roads, but they have to be registered. Correct. With the state. They have to have a license plate. >> No, it's different because they can ride
in our town with the annual sticker >> golf cart registration. They get from where? >> The town. >> The town entings. >> They don't have to get a state registration. No. >> Well, that that that's your problem.
>> Right there. The whole thing would be settled if they need a license plate like cars do. >> Yeah. >> You want to ride on the roads, you need a license plate. >> But but remember here, there's two different >> variations here. And I'm really glad that Darwin and Amber brought it up because I I did not know. But Nancy, to
add to your point, a lot of Color Bay allows golf carts, Palmet Bay allows golf. So, we're not the only ones doing it. And they're not and they're not similar as this. As long as it's registered. >> Remember, these are two different things. >> As long as it's registered. >> Register as in with with them.
Sorry. >> That's the open door. The barn door is open right there. That's the problem. >> You could push it across. >> It's a motor vehicle. That was that was that was um voted on by you know the town council and the town. >> All right, guys. We're going sideways
here. All right. All right. Similar. All right. Similar to driving a vehicle, the following are minimum requirements. Show Sniff. So, these are the minimum requirements the town has. I felt and I wanted your your opinions. Um
kind of confusing to to Okay. >> Darn thing. I get a registration requirement. Well, now it's confusing because here's what it's telling you. Minimum requirements, pro properly functioning brakes, rear stop brake lamps, properly functioning steering apparatus, safe tires, rearview mirrors, Florida Department of Transportation
approved lap safety belts for the driver and all passengers, uh, reflectorized warning devices in the front and the rear of the golf cart, turn signals, slow moving vehicle, SMV a fix to cart if pickable. So, here's the question. Basically, the town is
asking for these minimum requirements, but in there they make reference to the Florida Department of Transportation because they're using the same requirements >> for the sticker as if you were going to register a tag on your on your slow moving vehicle. >> Copy pasta. >> It's the same thing. They just they just
copy and paste so that they would have something that they could go by and that's what it is. So the the golf cart technically you can go that golf cart the way that is read or the way that they're doing it. It would only require maybe that the speed
be upped >> for it to be able to be for someone to register with the state and and and not even need the the >> the annual. Yeah. >> All these requirements sound like what I got to do for my car. >> We're not done yet. >> I'll tell you wait until the next one.
>> I don't I don't hear anymore. isn't enough for me to get annoyed. So, so they're telling me get rid of the car, get a golf cart, and you put up with this stuff here, but you get out of having to have insurance.
>> It's coming up coming up. >> Any any operator of a golf cart shall be covered by motor vehicle or other liability insurance of not less than below. show snip and visual with insurance handing over to a MDSL. Okay,
so 10,000 20,000 10,000. That's what it's showing as far as a requirement. Now, here's here's here's the the confusion part. If if I'm looking at I make a reference here to the Florida statute
chapter 324 section 021-21 right so now I'm asking myself in this um in the insurance one are you able to pull it up there Isabella >> yeah if you can
click on the word document that I sent and uh click on and there's a reference at the very end. I just really what I want right now is I want to go really quick on the golf cart registration on Miami. I want to go on that website that way we can share it with the folks.
[clears throat] >> Most I I stand correct. It's low speed vehicles. That's what it's that's what they're considered. >> Yeah. I remember talking to our old major golf cart registration.
Hold on one second. But I want to make sure the group statute. Thank you. >> Yeah. I just want to make sure that you know what we're doing here. >> So, let's see if we can pull it up. for a working.
>> No, she's going to click on it. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That or that. Or you could probably just do a certain elements. How many is my is our committee the one that has the most in it's all within files within file so I couldn't even tell you
>> I close the word >> okay >> it doesn't open up >> it might not word might not be connected on this computer >> okay that's fine >> um another alternative is I can log into my email through >> no what's even easier is just click on Safari
>> or whatever the thing's called Edge >> and uh type in um uh Miami Lakes golf cart registration. I feel like a pretty good >> Yeah, it's just this keyboard here. >> Yeah, it's fine. >> Feel like I'm
work at AT&T with the way this thing sounds. Let's see here. >> Uh let's see. >> Yep. Hit it. >> All right. So, let's go here. Ensure your ensure your golf. Okay, perfect. It's there. >> Right there. >> Never mind. That's what I want to check. Thank you.
>> All right. So, yes, insurance is on there. >> Any operative golf cart shall be covered by a motor vehicle or other. Okay. So, the whole idea is here is to state the point and then have a visual of someone handing it over to Amador or another deputy uh the insurance card.
All right. Now, the following are golf cart safety tips. We highly encourage we practice. This is the root of this whole ESA. Obey all traffic laws and rules of the road. Okay. Now, I thought, this is my
personal opinion, and you all can agree or disagree, that it would be more um entertaining for this PSA to make it all the don'ts so people can kind of laugh about it, say, "Oh, yeah, I shouldn't do that." So, that's why in parentheses, I'm showing golf carts driving with
NDSO. So the first one is obey all traffic laws. So GS this is all golf carts driving with NDSO SUV in the distance. So it's like just imagine the golf carts kind of driving and the uh our our SUV kind of parked in the in the distance, you know, um out of focus.
Next one, be safe and attentive. In this case, show Manny and golf cart texting with a big X. So Manny is um I don't know if you know who he is, but Manny Perez is a mortgage broker here, Manny Lakes, and he's like really big into the golf cart. In order to drive at night, uh you must
have headlights and the windshields visual of and this will put some uh golf cart with headlights. I'm I'm leaving the discretion to uh Denise with some of these because she knows who all the active members are. So, I felt that it would be, you know, fun to have her, you know, pick some of the members that are
very active. Comply with applicable state law as the requirements of child restraint equipment. Uh, and then in this case, uh, show Oscar, uh, a friend holding his granddaughter in the front of golf cart with a big X. So, this is the complaint we get a lot. Kids are
riding in the golf cart without Carson. >> All right. Um, only carry the number of passengers for which there are seats. In this case, show an overcrowded golf cart. a bunch of people sitting on it because we see it, you know, a bunch of people like, you know, sitting on each other and, you know, obviously they're
not strapped in with a big X. Driver and and passengers um and passengers shall keep all body parts inside golf cart while in motion. Show Johnny Torres on Darwin's golf cart with leg hanging in the mirror with a big X. So, I volunteered Darwin's golf cart.
You're okay with that? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Losing a leg. And poor Johnny couldn't be in our uh well his Jackie his wife was in the in the holiday safety table and and and Emily too his daughters but Johnny needs
to be part of a video then. >> Or at least it's lagging. >> Yeah. Um avoid sharp turns at maximum speeds excessive speed and sudden stops. In this case show Lewis Lopez on Darwin's golf cart sudden stop of the big X. Especially this is going to be really drastic because on Darwin's is lifted. So when you start on the brakes,
it's like it really shows that you know it's dangerous. So hopefully Lewis doesn't fall out of it. Okay. Avoid avoid driving on parks, bicycle paths, sidewalks or swelles of the town. This is what Omar was talking about. It's
it's literally you can't do that. So in this case, it's going to be Denise and golf cart signal with a big X parking in violation of posted regulations. Show Denise or golf in golf cart parking spot with a check. So in this case, this I didn't want to do a check, you know, or
we can we can actually switch it. We can put someone on graph because I think that's a lot of times what they do incorrectly where you have like a sidewalk and you have a bunch of golf carts parked in the sidewalk, which we shouldn't do. We should leave it open for ADA compliance, etc., etc., right? So, um, and then the last one that I put
on here is all golf cart operators on public roads must now carry a valid governmentissued photo ID. Additionally, operators under 18 years old must have a learner's permit or driver's license to legally drive a golf cart on public roads. So, in this case, it's going to show Manny's son, uh, which is younger.
I think he's in high school, um, kind of giving an ID to, uh, MDSO. And then the closing statement, make sure to follow these steps to enjoy your golf cart in our town of Miami Lakes. MBSO group of deputies waving at golf carts as they drive into the distance with closing logos of Miami Lakes, MBSO,
and Miami Lakes Golf Card. learner's permit with someone that has a valid driver's license. >> Thanks. Okay. >> Okay. So, learner's permit with with what what is the exact lingual with when you have a learner's permit? With a
>> licensed driver. >> It's a license driver. >> Licensed driver. [clears throat] >> Next to you, not behind you. Not on the other side. Next to Florida law treats golf. >> So, it's after the permit where you're doing the addition addition. Hold on. Florida law treats golf parks as
unlicensed drivers. You'll see >> you don't need to have a license when you don't need to have a licensed driver next to. >> So if this is going to be a town or that's fine, but it's also against Florida law to prohibit for municipalities prohibit
um people who aren't licensed to drive golf carts. So that one might want you might want that lawyer. No, I think you had a little bit. >> Yeah, but they're they're going by the the requirements the the to get to a sticker you're >> the the requirements are the same as if
you're >> Yeah. If you have a tag. So, if you have a tag, you have to you have to have a a driver. If you have a tag, but even on here there's a statutes and constitution status. There's something that is new. You have to have either of those two what I just mentioned. >> Okay. >> Yeah. It's something new that came out.
>> I see a contradiction here. Um on the front page, any operator of a golf cart shall be covered by motor vehicle or other liability insurance. Operator being the keyword that's the one driving the golf cart. Let me turn
it over to the next page. Um, operators under 18 years old must have a learner's permit or driver's license to manually drive a golf cart. But you don't mention insurance there. >> Well, because one of the >> confusing, it should be complete
regarding the insurance because somebody's going to read this and say, "Oh, I only need this." They didn't read this part first. then the guy on the second page is going to think he's right and he's not. >> Well, keep in mind that one one area is
minimum requirements and the other one are highly encouraged tips, safety tips. So, if you notice that this is minimum requirements right up here and then we go into safety tips. So, there there is a a distinction
between the two, you know. So, um that's that's where it's at. Now, obviously, there's I mean, now that we've gone through the whole thing, let's go ahead and and pinpoint any issues or any additions or deletions that you guys all feel that are
necessary. >> No, just do it with the uh with the information that we've added. >> Okay. It's sounds pretty good to me. >> Yeah. You see over here, I'm looking at the state statute. All right. operation of golf carts and served roadways. All
right, this is uh 2025 Florida statutes 316.212. And if I go down to section uh seven, it says here, a golf cart may not be operated on public roads or streets by a person. And then it tells here who is 18 years of age. No.
>> Unless unless he or she possesses a valid driver's license or a valid driver's license. I'm sorry. unless he or she possesses a valid learner's driver's license or a valid driver's license. So, >> under But, but for 18 and older, you
just have to have a photo ID. >> No, no, no. Yeah, 18 and older is different, but he's talking about 18 and younger. >> Yeah, this the safety tip is because the issue that we have is people. Yeah, that's [clears throat]
Yeah, >> if you want to keep talking and we're already >> So, the other day I'm on Fairway Drive. I see a golf cart coming towards me. We're all in our respective lanes and
yet these two boys are very young and they're they're barely sitting properly. So, I don't even know if they're belted in on that cart, >> right? I don't say anything. I'm going home. I'm not a cop. I don't even know
the rules. But it didn't look safe to me. So, one, after reading this, they need to be belted in the wearing seat belts. That's >> Yeah. Yeah. Communal. >> I saw no seat belts. Number one. too that they were they were all over each
other so they couldn't have been wearing seat belts and they were too young to be in that golf cart in the birth place to this. So by the time I pull over, ask for a police car to stop by or whatever. Those kids are down the block god knows how
many turns they've made off a fairway. But if they're doing it often enough and I'm seeing them off enough and then it's worth making a phone call. Yeah. I want to make sure before I forget, Nancy, do Absolutely. Go ahead. Um, Deputy Amador and and and Darwin,
>> would it be safe to say that a golf cart that is considered a slowmoving vehicle >> is low sleep? It's intrawin of all these requirements. Would you say it's pretty much the >> cohesive? Definitely. >> Yeah. The the way the the town took it
is they they took all the information that you would be required to be a low speed vehicle, >> right? >> And that's what it is to have the tag. I mean to have the the sticker >> basically they just took it from there and put it there. >> If you wanted to then go and get your
own tag, you could go and Right. The only thing that's missing is is the process by which you physically take the golf cart and have it inspected. Everything else is literally word for word. Yeah. >> And you take it to be inspected by
>> by the DMV like mine. I I had I had to tow it there so they could come out and they have a checklist that >> golf cart owner is a spot in it. >> Yeah. >> You know, you got to go do this this. >> Yeah. There's there's it's a process. There's a form that tells you what you
need. It's a packet. >> We don't need that. >> All right. So, do we need to go ahead and say in the first like subsection, obtain your annual permit at show page and visual permit and just and just state it on here. Should we add an extra
sentence like um inspection request are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. or I mean because what the whole idea is, this is the way I visualize it. You have a a a video of the computer screen where they go to this page >> and it it's scrolling through and
showing everything. But the fact that you mentioned inspection, should we call out the inspection aspect of it or should we just leave it for the person scrolling down the screen to show it on video, >> but that's yeah, that's an option. We're giving them the option of whether or not
they want to register it, which based on what I'm seeing here, these are these they're not registered. Yes, they meet the requirements, but it's it's in other words, these do not have a tag. Hence the reason why they cannot be on 57,67 and 87 Avenue.
>> Okay. Yeah, that's for for that is for that to be able to get that stick. >> Right. Right. >> I would I would leave it as as such. What I'm trying to say is maybe towards the end you could put a little disclaimer a little or this only applies to
low move low vehicles that have not gone through the registration as or pursuant to Florida state statute. Boom. There you go. >> Okay. So, do we want to add that before the last paragraph? >> I I I would probably What do you guys think? I think towards
the end probably I'll be >> probably at the end then. at the end >> because you're then you're differentiating between what this is and >> if you do it at the beginning >> this this is correct me if I'm wrong [clears throat] this is going this and it it coincides with that >> town
>> yeah okay so we're good so you guys agree towards the end >> almost like a disclaimer >> yeah should we be saying it or putting it on the screen >> I would say and then you have somebody to speak really Okay.
>> Please refer to your poor poor state statute and you you leave on that >> reference uh in case they don't look it up. >> Well, I mean I'm thinking liability that oh but the town public safety committee said this. No, we do not want to say we're giving you the link for state statute. There it is right there.
>> I would almost feel like >> like do you you can operate a slowmoving vehicle in Miami Lakes without that requirement is what you're saying. If they have a tag, >> like if they have a tag like Darwin, he doesn't have to come into the town and do anything. >> I mean, yeah, >> he already he went over. He's he
>> he he don't need that sticker. >> He doesn't need that sticker. He doesn't need to register with the town. He's already registered with the state. He's he's good. >> This is basically under the assumption that these are not going through the registration pro process with Florida
Department of Highway motor safety vehicles. >> They don't have a tag. You don't have to go through that process and then just do it this way and you can use it within time. >> Right. And I'm with you. I understand the whole spirit of it. I'm just trying to communicate it without it being very confusing.
>> You can be as clear as water and people be like that at the end. >> No, I know. >> That's why more so reason to leave it at the end. at the end >> something where as to where and these uh slowmo vehicles can be identified as ones that have a Florida drivers
>> tag town registration not needed unless you registered with the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles. >> What I would like to suggest is you make two lists. >> What's required [clears throat] by law, >> what's not required by law.
If you did it that way for the simpleton such such as myself, >> I think it would be much easier for everybody to understand. All the rules are here, >> but you you read one on the first page and then you get to the second page and it's sort of like never mind.
>> No, but that's why I understand. But but >> and then the next one is golf cart safety tips. That's that's we're differentiating them. I understand >> Nancy, but this is not paper. This is going to be on a screen. This is going
to be a video. Yeah, >> I understand. But like I said, I'm getting old and forgetful and this to me is a lot of reading to do and then I find myself going back and forth. Oh, >> sorry. That's why we keep
>> not everybody. This is why we keep doing very well with our PSAs. Our PSAs are very well. We got nothing but public, you know, positive comments. >> I trust you. >> So, I think that this will good. I just want to make sure that I incorporate what Darwin and Amodore are saying at the end. So, I'm going to say, please
note these requirements. Um, please know the requirements are needed. Well, to your point, Darwin, when you say to put it at the end, you're putting it after safety tips because safety tips should really be followed no matter what. >> Thank you.
>> Yes. So, you would still say after that to write it or before the safety tips after >> at the end of the day, >> if you do anything before the end, they'll >> not going to read it. >> Yeah. You're going to be like, >> if anything, the safety tips apply to whether it's or not.
>> And if at the end, after seeing that bit at the end, they go, "Oh, wait a second." It's at the end that you're saying, "Wait a second, not in the middle where now you're stuck on that and you you see the rest of the video." >> Well, you've got the got to do before and then you say they're highly
encouraged. So, you are making a separation on the first page. I'm writing homelessness. Okay. >> I mean, it could be put direct, you know, an image of a golf cart with a
tag. These these slow speed vehicles do not require a town certification or whatever that's called. >> Is it true that they don't require a town issue permit? >> Right. They don't require the state supersedes. just states over
to that whole thing. >> State registration supersedes town registration. >> I'm going to tell you, man, if I already have all of this, >> yeah, >> I wouldn't even bother with any of this. I just >> get it registered, >> get my I can drive wherever I want. I
want to go to Halia, I go to Haya, I come back to the town, I go back to um uninorporate, I do whatever I want. I would I wouldn't even mess with the town. I'm going to ask by may I ask you a question? If I'm driving down Fairway Drive on a cart with no lights, it's
9:00 at night. It's dark. The trees are blocking the lights. As you already know, that's a real thing. And I'm in a golf cart with no headlights. I should get a ticket. Well, on the beginning of the front
page, it says, "Golf cart safety tips we highly encourage in order to drive at night. Must have headlights." You're just safely encouraging. That's a law. If you're going to give me a ticket, >> all right, this is what I wrote before
the last paragraph. These safety tips are applicable to all operators. However, slowmoving vehicles do not require a golf cart annual permit. And I'm going to run this through uh our attorney say no >> that have gone yeah that have gone
through the proper registration procedure with department of highway and safety motor vehicles to this statute >> but that's already in the front. So like when you're saying golf carts can be used on our town streets and not 5767 87
avenues unless you are registered with a department of highway safety vehicle as a vehicle. low speed vehicle. Low speed vehicle and then I would even if you really want to >> these vehicles can that's having a a tag >> state of Florida.
>> Yeah. Right. State of Florida registration low speed low speed vehicle >> and maybe at the end again say the same thing that they can be identified as having a because that kind of tells you oh that's the one that has an actual tag. Mine doesn't have a tag then mine
has to fit under this requirement. But if if and but here in this case when to uh George's point it's already said in the beginning are identified by Florida. I would I would say it again at the end. >> Okay.
>> Just to reiterate the difference between um the the having a tag and not having >> Yeah. Just to remind him again anyway. >> Can you put it in there to upgrade the lighting on fairway? I'm I'm I'm busting shops. That's all I'm doing. making the
joke while you write. >> Okay. So, I'm saying >> worse. You can't see anything. >> She stopped at the boss thing that has the stop sign. She [clears throat] I don't know. She just >> All right. So, this is what I got. I'm
going to read the four times the last paragraph. Okay. >> All right. Enjoy. Oh, hold on. Sorry. I've got to concentrate. These safety tips are applicable to all operators. However, slowmoving vehicles um identified as a Florida license plate do not require a Miami Lakes golf cart
annual permit. Enjoy your golf carts in our town of Miami Lakes. Is that cool, guys? Dallas. Nice. >> Okay. I'm going to re I'm going to obviously clean this up with our uh commentary. Um, and then what I'll do is I guess I should probably um
before I issue it to uh the major, maybe I should run it through um legal legal that's >> to make sure that um this makes sense, right? Or maybe even a a golf cart some towards the end of the video. A golf cart on 87
but with a tag, you know, like okay, that's fine. That's fine. >> Yeah. But even the exception is the perfect. Okay, so let's move on. Okay. Um let's take a motion here uh to u to vote on the golf cart tips as presented.
I'm going to make a motion. Do I have a second? [clears throat] >> Second. >> All right. So we have here CA and Darwin. All here say I. I. Any against? None. Okay. Let's continue. Um cars for heroes. We started advertising. All
right. But we [snorts] have not voted on pricing, right? My suggestion is we keep everything the same. >> I think Darwin feels the same way. I think Darwin spoke about this last time. We already get involved in let's not fix
it. Okay. So the idea is guys that we have cars at $25, golf carts at five, shirts at 25 for adults, $15 for children. The gold sponsorship is $700. The silver sponsorship is 350. Now over here you all I have this the the same
form from last year. We have three free vehicles for 700. Um um opportunity to give remarks. Um exhibitor area with table and chairs provided by sponsor. Uh sponsor acknowledge during the event. Logo
recognition and press release. Logo printed on event banner and main stage area. That's gold. Silver is 350. one vehicle in prime location of show exhibitor area with table and chairs provided by sponsors sponsor acknowledgement during event logo of recognition press release logo printed and then you have the last one which is
the vendors that the vendors will have to definitely get more in tune with that as we go uh forward I just want to take this proper step forward so that we can instruct staff to put it on the website because right now it's not on the website so I want it on the website so we can start selling it because if you guys are all out there in the street and
you're talking to people selling your product you know for your business or your for your employer. Let's get sponsors lined up. Uh do I have um uh any commentary before we take a vote? >> Just to make sure you want vendors to like you're going to have tents and
tables and chairs and all that for vendors because that would that's offsite. So that would be rentals. So I don't know if you're going to uh provided by vendor. >> Yeah. >> So make sure that you include that. >> Yeah. I did it to the others and I didn't do it to the other. >> Yeah, I was going to say >> you can also push the deadline a bit back. It doesn't have to be September
because I think that might have been last year because the event was October. So, >> oh, good point. >> That's also something >> that's so October. >> Let's go. >> October 15th. So, after they do their taxes, they can
pay us October 15. Okay. Um, so we have a few changes. We discussed everything to leave the same and then we have on the sponsorship form. All we did was added the phrase provided by sponsor for vendor. I'm sorry, provided by vendor, not sponsor.
I don't want to get into this right now, guys, but the vendor process has to be revamped. It was way too much work last year. I spent more time on the vendors than anything, and I need help this year. Now that I know what it takes, I will be giving up the work to you all as we get closer to the event. Uh because I
can tell you for one person, it was my my full-time job for two months. So, we'll have to divvy it up. So in that case provided by vendor and then October 15 is the deadline of 2026. All in favor say I. I. Any against? None. All right. Keep going. Um.
>> Okay. Wait. Great. Hold on. Who made the who made the motion? >> Myself and Darwin. >> Okay. >> Okay. We're keeping it. We got to keep going. >> George, keep going. >> Yeah. Then let's go quick. The swimming lessons they got approved by the by the council. John, I know you saw the video that we presented. >> Oh, no.
>> I I said that you were the one that came with the idea. look and you wear nice shirts and all that fun stuff, right? >> Okay. >> So, um over here, uh seven seven is more meeting. Okay. So, that's that's the meeting of what we being myself with
with Johnny and and um the zero prevention program with Clarisel and the whole the whole team so we can get this moving. The next one is uh the report to council just to uh inform you all what happened. Nancy was there. Um, but uh we are they're they're saying they're not
going to increase our budget. They're going to leave it flat at 2200. So, the whole idea is Oh, and they approved our logo, which like they said, it's not really something they normally do, but they approved it anyways. Uh, the town manager did say that he probably would recommend the star to be a little bit
bigger, but I think that um we agree that we like our logo. Um, now [clears throat] this puts more pressure on us. Okay, we got to raise more money. That's all. Okay, so that's uh report to council. Now, the MDSO PSA concerning the camera
registrations, I want to put that aside, guys, because I I feel kind of weird about doing a PSA um that they haven't done. Like MDSO has done this PSA. So, I feel kind of odd as a committee to do this before they haven't done. >> So, I I I almost want to have that fall
off. I know that Detective Nez worked on it to give us some language, but I kind of just feel a little weird about that. >> Make a motion to table it. >> Yeah. So, let's table it. That means it's going to fall off the agenda for next meeting. Okay. Uh the next one is summer safety tips. >> Vote. I want you to vote. I thought you did.
>> No, it just fall off. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Uh guys, this is our new summer safety tips flyer. Thank you, Edalis and Isabella for working on this. >> There was a little hiccup. There was a QR code that no longer works for bicycle safety. And this is why I called you
yesterday, Deputy Amadore. I know you were busy, but for whatever reason, it seems like MDSO took over the initiative of bike safety. There's a memo of you guys doing physical safety in person with people on the street, I guess, but there is no link
anywhere. And the safety and the event ended on May 16th. I don't know. I'm just throwing it out there for you guys, okay? But it it it fell off. So, the QR code for is off. Uh the Graham Company has agreed to put this in the Miami Laker. Okay. So they they're going to
put this in Miami Laker in partnership with us. Okay. This is a typo. Isabella's gonna All right. So So then over here, next one. The um the summer safety tips. We said that. Okay. Now let's talk about um
let's talk about new business. Okay. This is going to be very quick. I said this during our our our report to council. The council has approved us anonymous
that we bank $2,336 for the car show. Okay, I know has a smirk. I need to talk to our budget directors to make sure that is official on our budget under the current fiscal year >> and it bleeds over to the next fiscal year.
>> Okay. So while I have to discuss it with Melissa, I'm sure that that'll be a very constructive conversation. But I wanted to let you all know because when you start lobbying, you say, "Hey, we have an earmark that money, okay? Because just to give you a little more
information, the way the the the language is written is if you raise money, that money gets used first before they hit into the general fund. But I felt that hey, we're getting now less money than ever. We're going from $4,800 to $2,200. Okay? And we should at least
try to earmark some of that money to bank it for our next year's car show. All right? Which we have anonymous approval on that. So, just want to give you all that FYI, you know, getting your memory going. But I do need you all to assist me or assist the committee. We need to fund accounts
that are negative. So, what I suggest this committee is that we u make a motion to move $2,000. Okay. So let me just show you all. So you know I inform you guys very appropriate way. When you look at this budget that's at the last
page you have $861 and negative628. If you see that on there we have to we have to reclassify those. Now what ends up happening here is this will have to be a memorandum from the town manager to the council them approving this reclassification because it's above I
think the $700 limit. Okay. So, what I'm make what I'm suggesting is that we move $2,000 into um the uh aware and $2,000 into um educational material. Okay. So, that should give us it's coming Oh, I'm sorry. It's coming out of
the 68.28. So, you see that big number, the 6828. So, we're moving $2,000 into uh aware and 2,000 into educational material. Do I have a second? I'll second. Second from John Tori's discussion.
Nobody wants to talk about money. >> Not really. Okay, good. I guess we all have to do good. Okay. All favor say I. I. Any against? Hearing none. Okay. Our next meeting is 7:28. >> Yeah. 28. >> Okay. And then our next council meeting
is 7:21, which might be a good uh if you guys are available to present during public comment that you uh support the uh uh the town sanctioned signs being approved for public safety. I highly encourage it. And I call this meeting adjourned at 8:26. Do I have a second?
>> I'll second. 94 on fire. All in favor say I. And we are done. 820 >> reason I show you guys to make
