Okay, perfect. Cab, I'm sorry. Okay. So, Yel, essentially what we're doing is this is an event that we're doing for um 11. Uh this is a car show to um essentially show our appreciation to the
uh police and fire department. Okay. Um you know, we're working with the Grams to hopefully uh confirm a location by Main Street. So essentially the the DJ would be responsible for you know pretty much following the theme of music that that you know we're looking to to have
for that event. Um and obviously we would have a microphone to have uh political figures speak and and us speak as well. Um you know to kind of bring the audience to our purpose of bringing the not just to recognize fire police but also uh to increase income. Right.
So essentially uh something that we need to do as a group is send you an RFP and anyone else that is interested in you know being a vendor for this event. Okay. Uh so you know please stand by and we'll for sure be sending that over the summer if not in June by latest July
it'll be getting information. Okay. [Music] exposure. Okay. If I may, I don't anybody get angry, but I'm speaking from experience from another committee. Um, there was misunderstanding and the DJ
only had Spanish music. You understand it would be both that we need, but I I just I'm making point because man, it got ugly. It It got ugly that day. So, I don't want that happening to anybody else. You know, you
don't deserve that if we don't explain it. Absolutely. You never know what the word that's me. No. And and that's good. Well, open mouth and search feed. N very good point. No, no, it's a very good point. I had to and and that's why exactly why I'm telling him that hey, look, you know, we're going to let you
know what the genre is that we're going to play because that's happened at my own wedding actually. Funny enough. So, so, and you're still married? I'm still married. All right. We'll still have the same tune. Okay. Thank you. Thank you so much for thumbs. Yeah. Yeah. So that's
that's essentially that and and you sir um I'm here with the planning and transportation department. Okay. Staff presentation. Wonderful. Can't wait to hear. Okay. Excellent. Okay. To recognize the full crew that are here uh from Miami Dade uh our fire department.
Um thank you so much for visiting us. Hi guys. No thank uh so you've been recognized chief. I mean essentially I know that Darwin got you here. So um again thank you so much for coming. Essentially you know some of the things that we talk about um you know on in our
monthly meetings is essentially okay what are I don't know if you have like a stat sheet of like what exactly what kind of calls are you addressing? We do that's all computerized. Okay. We do that quarterly. We send that out to the unit so they see where where their response time is. The amount of calls
are running the type of calls they're running. Yeah. That's that's all computerized. Perfect. Perfect. and and essentially like and I'm sorry that you all weren't able to attend the uh the lunch last week because I'm assuming that's probably not your that uh probably not I about it so yeah so we
had um and it's it's actually part of our agenda but you know we uh had a pia private company that uh donated lunch um for that shift of that day and and some of the conversations that I was having with with your colleagues was well you know we're here as a group obviously to
to push the agenda for you all like what what exactly are some of the calls that you've been having and the issues that you've been encountering that perhaps we can work with you all to push that through residents you know whether it be any type of safety I know one of that that were brought up that was pretty interesting was well you know we
actually have calls that are now the house you know so is there possibly room for an initiative to give out fire extenders I don't know if there's some sort of a grant that we can do that with with residents yeah that that would not be taken up with us that
would be taken up with our public safety. Okay. You know, in our department um you know we do demos as you know um you know we go to schools or we present and talk about uh depending on the audience we talk about different
safety uh issues or how to you know if you do encounter a fire what type of fire but we don't we don't know how the whole grant system works. if let's say you want to be able to if you qualify for let's say a free extinguisher we
don't that's not in the US but as far as the type of calls I mean the crew here can help answer some of those calls especially in this area they they're bit in so okay um I mean suggestions suggestion wise no
I mean we um the community here is you know I won't say a standard Hispanic community but it's It's a community where a lot of the el the um elderly parents live with their kids. Um so most of our calls are
um pickme up, slip and falls, things like that. So maybe you'll learn a line of uh home safety awareness of uh you know making sure they have some way to elderly person has some way to contact the family directly or they have like uh
you know I fallen I can't get up some type medical alert system um that can summon us because we do get a lot of times where the you know parents are home alone and they slip and fall and hurt themselves but they can't get to a phone and then something doesn't happen until the
the children call, the adult children call and then it's like, well, we can't get a hold of mom or dad. So then they come and then it's hours, not here, not too often. Seems like most families here are are pretty connected, right? And usually it's not over a day, but it's
not uncommon to have uh elderly persons sit there for a day um and nobody know about them, right? So, um or as I as far as type of calls, um uh for me, um as
beautiful as Miami Lakes is, um some of the areas because of the the foliage color that we have, it can be difficult to get around because of the uh the overgrowth of trees and stuff, right? if there could be anything looked at as far as maybe trimming back a little bit more
um just because we do have such a large apparatus to for the community. I mean, we have a large ladder truck, which is is not I don't want to say common, but it's not it's we have fewer of those pieces than we do have engines, which are engines are a little bit smaller
unit, right? Allows us to do more in that trunk, but also causes uh access issues. So, that's a very good point. I mean that's something that actually you know in the council meetings you know they they do bring that up quite often you
know about the tree trimming schedule you know how often is that happening uh you know some trees can some streets can be more you know I guess crowded you know when it comes to that than others um I know that there's quite a handful of residents actually complain want it
done more recently uh funny enough actually talking to the mayor of our of our sheriff's office we were talking about I didn't even know it existed until I actually put it into into account was that on I want to say it's 155 or 154th court there's that middle
road in between the two office buildings and and you all I don't think he was telling me the fire truck can't go through there if there's an emergency because how tight it is because people park in the middle right yes I mean we can get through there but but but the issue is is once we get to we do get a few calls in the they have the diialysis
center there and some medical centers and um for us once we get there the park. I mean, or block the street, the whole street. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Yeah, I know that. Hopefully, I think that's something that um is in the uh with the state right now. If they can make up their mind, then hopefully we
can get that fixed. So, it might be a while. Yeah. Well, they they got to do it by June 30th. Uh so, that's when they're the last legal day that they're required to approve the budget. So, I mean, that's definitely something that's good to bring up um related to the tree trimming that it is a safety concern. I didn't even think about that. So, I
mean, that's why it's essential to to have these conversations. Thank you for bringing that up. I mean, you know, I know I remember about 20 years ago, it seems like a minute, that there was some sort of a nonforprofit or something going out Miami date county where they would give out old refurbished homes to
elderly folks for any type of these emergencies. Is that something that still happens or like you said, it's we've gone through that. We went through um putting in child seats for a while. how we went through a a portion of um giving out
smoke detectors. I don't know where we are as far as again like you guys you guys find those areas that need right those concentrated on and then we I don't know what's on the agenda now as far as what we are offering to the community as far as those types of benefit. Right.
Well, I know that the I know Nancy, if you want to mention like what they do at the elderly affairs monthly meetings when fire comes in and I was well, yeah, they come in uh quite few times during the year, but I was going to bring up
something you mentioned um if I may. Uh you mentioned uh um car seats and all for kids and somebody you It depends what it is. See, my memory is
stuck. Um, but someone mentioned to me about um seat belts for children golf carts. On the golf carts? Yeah. Was it you? Yeah, that was me. That's a good idea. Well, then they're here. There you opportunity. It's an excellent idea.
Don't let me Yeah, we uh and we're going to discuss it later on, I think, in the agenda, but um I think they should treat golf carts like cars and require uh seat belts and baby seats because I work at my release K38 and I had a couple, young
couple come in and pick up a student, the baby must have couldn't have been more than a month old on the lady's shoulder. So, if she gets hit, that baby's going to So, I couldn't even see that. I'd be like this. So, I don't
know. I mean, it's not a bad idea. I don't know where that comes as far as county law or state law. I think I have to start at the town. Um, but, uh, I mean, it's definitely a good idea. Again, it's you're talking about almost like an industry is having to change an
industry over to figure out how do you not necessarily that, yeah, it's a great idea, but how do how do we attach those? How do we put Yeah, cuz some golf carts also have seat belts. Well, usually they only have like a lot, but that's better than nothing to be honest. The issue is that that is a once we
approved as the town that we can and and I want to get a schedule about golf carts, they can't enforce that. They can't enforce car seats. They can't enforce any of the stuff that you just mentioned. They can't enforce it. So, unfortunately, you know, they're the ones left with uh handling those calls
and so does the sheriff's office. You know, um, again, we're g and part of the reason why it's so good that we meet is because, for example, we're going to be discussing today, lock it or lose it. It's a silly thing, but we need to we need to push that and and Debbie Amador has been bringing it up now for a few
months now. We're going to push that out. Another one that people have been talking about, Mr. Pñena, is golf car safety. That's something that again, unfortunately, we can't control, but we can try to prevent something from happening. Uh so essentially that was the biggest vehicle why you all are here. um you know the tree trimming and
all that. That's something that we'll have to figure out how that gets to the council how that can be tied into to what you all I mean the only other thing I would highly recommend schools out kids are coming out is pool safety water and pool safety as we're pushing we do have a big push going on with our water safety bureau right now and just
uh we actually have one of our firefighters that is working today who's a granddaughter to a pool safety last year. Yeah. Now the pool safety is that do you know where they're holding that because I know there there's someone mentioned
like a locka then there's you have my land and hay aliyah. Is there any specific location where they're doing the pool safety? No, this is more of a [Music] awareness. I like that. Yeah. have with the links. Yeah, it's a
big reminder. You guys have got such great ideas and so many topics that we need to bring up. I would like to recommend that we
plan some kind of an event, council chambers, wherever, and have this discussion and presentation about safety. As you said, the kids are out of school, summer's coming, whatever. This is the time to do
it. Not in October. I think we we should maybe I'd like to make a motion that that we plan something like that. So, my points if we can. Yeah. I mean, I mean, the whole thing is I mean, there if we do a certain event, I think
we need to talk about it first before we put anything. I mean, look. Oh, of course. I approve. I think that your idea is a good idea by all means. I mean, Darwin's an excellent He's an excellent breath. Yeah. He's one of our divers, you know, he's one of our active active people. So, he's definitely a
good contact to have. Yeah. Well, what we can do then, Nancy, is we'll we'll add it. Um I second your motion to add it as new business 8C and we'll talk. Now, what specifically do you want to talk about? Is it full safety?
Well, again, I thank you for being here so I can give this answer. There's so many things that we need to be on top of because of certain events or times of the year or whatever,
whatever you suggest. If there's if it's now's the time to talk about the pool safety, let's do it. If not, whatever the next danger might be. I mean it's you know bicycles whatever it is in the fall we do the what's what do
we call when we do the thing in front of school school down so the first three days u so each shift they go out for the first day of well first three days of school and then stand out uh just making uh people aware
that hey school's back in session slow down that way kids are not obviously getting hurt so let's Just again timewise like you're talking about it's another awareness because you know people that don't have kids don't know or maybe their kids are grown or or maybe they could submit some kind of a
what time of year calendar and then as a reminder if we have let's say it in front of us if you're not here we could still look at it and say all right this is coming up it's October it's Halloween or
whatever October and um kids move out of the house you get forgetful. But um you know what I'm saying? So if we have an idea of what they do and we know what month is coming up to tie in I think it's something for us
to work hand in hand. Absolutely. You know I did the same thing with the sheriff's office. You know Neil and I sat down and said okay this is what happens throughout the year and then we got back and said okay how can we do this? We're doing the same thing now with just the other department which is excellent. Super. So, so in that case, you know, I I would definitely I think
the motion is more geared towards water safety is what I put. Yeah. But we're also talking about school zone and now the school zone one just to kind of uh you know touch upon that. How exactly do you do it? So when you park an engine Yeah. You park an engine right out front side in front of the school and we're
walk back and forth. We greet the kids as they come to school, things like that. That's how we we uh keep an eye on the on the traffic and people slow down. I mean, so it's a it's a community interaction with the kids and the parents, but also reminding people, hey, this is a this is a school zone. You
guys need to slow down. We could do that in August when school's about to start. It's too far to move now. I mean, school's ending now. Well, I'm just I think your idea as far as getting as far as doing an event is is discussing with us a calendar as to what we look at per
month, per year, and giving you guys that. So because the school thing every year, the water safety thing is every year. Yeah. You know, firework safety in July every year. So those are things that that we'll get you guys uh probably no one to be aware of. Just want to say
something. Um the for the water safety the uh neighborhood improvement committee has been trying to get some funding for a there's a life ring or water ring or but once you got you you guys throwing rope throw with a rope and
and all that. Uh there's a foundation or a company that something happened to somebody in in and they created this company and they have some of these in some different lakes in myar and different places. So they're trying to get funding from the towel to be able to
bring that to our legs here. So basically it's just it's they sell it and it's a like a wooden beam and the thing goes on top of it and then somebody sees anything they throw it into the water like at the I don't tell because it's like at the beaches where people go in and out they have basically
a life ring there that somebody can just throw if somebody's having issues like I want to partner up with them and because they're having issues with getting the funding they were very disappointed because um the previous council had um had Yeah, I'll turn it down. Yeah, I
have turned it down already. Yeah. So, how do you want me to word award year a monthly about monthly awareness events? Something like that or what I'm doing is like I'm going to put it all as one motion where Nancy is and I'm going to second it. But essentially, we're talking about three things. We talked
about full safety, school zone. Well, water safety. You cover everything with water. Yeah. Let's do it. Yeah. Because of the lakes, right? Okay. Water safety. Water safety. School zone. Elderly safety. Now, the elderly one is actually kind of neat because what we've done is
which we need to actually now redo um the cell phone scam which has been off the chain. I mean, I'm sure everyone gets it in this room 100 times a day. And u we had someone from Citizens Crime Watch present to the Elderly Affairs Committee about it. Was 15 minutes. It was rushed. He he needs more time.
People were like blown away. He really needs to do the full presentation. So when it comes to elderly safety, then we would partner up with the elderly affairs committee and then have you all come in for a um they have bingo once a month more than 100 people on 87th
Avenue Royal Oaks Roberto 132 people. So they buy lunches for that would be your audience. That's cool. So essentially that would be the way how the target audience would be there and then how can we figure out to I guess
public. Public not rules. That would be public. That's all through them. Okay. So, and then you mentioned firework safety. That too. Okay.
We just had that had class fireworks inspectors. Yeah. The one that we've been getting to when I visited station one with Darwin last year was which is kind of hard to push because all the kids getting hurt with the mopeds. Not the mopeds or
scooters. That's more of a that's kind of hard to push because it's like you got a bunch of knuckleheads that are just going to be running through no matter what. I mean some of them they're a bunch of knuckleheads. No, but I mean how does that sit with at
a certain age? You don't think of wear helmets in high school? Yeah. of the 16. You're supposed to be aware. Yeah, but these are guys that are excluded. No, no. For I'm sorry. It might benefit. That's for sure. For a law, a helmet
thing is for bicycles. But that's the thing that everything has the terminology is everything, right? If it's a motorcycle and it looks like a motorcycle, but then it has pedals, then it doesn't matter if it's going 35 miles per hour, it's a bicycle, you know, so
it it really it's on the verbiage. I don't know if the scooters are are also added to the motor. What about motorized vehicles? Would it would that be a good umbrella for that issue? But that's the
motorized. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know exactly what those motors. So essentially we're talking about four initiatives uh that we just mentioned and probably the one that has the highest priority is is water safety.
Okay. All right. So we got to figure out how to do that. You know the easiest way that we do our initiatives is through social media. So you know something can be put out if uh your uh public information officer already has something they put out. we can piggyback on that. That's an easy repost on
Instagram and all all our other platforms. So, at least that's our first pass. And then if we want to do an event, that ends up being something different. But I think that becomes a little trickier because the biggest issue that you have with these events is cost a lot of time and and and money and
are we going to have get a good a good amount of an audience out? Um and and essentially what what we what I've been trying to do for the longest is um which we did a first pass was copy medic and how how much people wouldn't get out there and penetrate that way but the first one was a little on on the low
attendance side because I don't think it was planned that well in advance and that's really more now we're charging that to help you all planning that. Um but there has to be another way. The elderly affairs is an easy one. We'll just piggy back on that. the pool safety. I got I got to figure out maybe with neighborhood improvements if they're doing something and how we can
piggy back for them with the water safety. I talked to Darwin and have them um and right now I know we've the water the not the our dive bureau has put out a flyer. That's a start.
Okay. I love it. You said there was four initiatives. Yeah. Four initiatives. water safety, school zone, elderly safety, fireworks safety, and elderly. I got it. But yeah, so we have to that's all going to be one motion with the water thing. Maybe the
youth activity task force it involves kids, right? But remember whenever whenever we have an event, you have to present well in advance to the council to get a ring of that. So right now, you got to figure out how you're going to get your target audience with different events that are already going on where we can just partner with them. So we we
already mentioned two of them that is easy to get you know which well really one of them is elevated affairs and the other one the school zone one definitely that's huge um essentially now when it comes to school zone one would you be able to reserve an engine and then perhaps I mean I don't know how many
well I guess you can do it on on different days because like for example I know where Amodor is at that would be phenomenal to go at Brown Educational it's right next to station 64 and then you've got uh Miami K28 which you know where that normally um each station is assigned to
the closest school within the territogram. So each unit was normally assigned to try to cover as many schools as they can and depending on the type of school. So we try to do elementaryaries obviously but we try because they all start at different times, right?
Elementary, middle school and high school they all start different times. So we try to kind of cover. So the first three days of school was kind of busy for all the units across all three ships. Okay. Do you guys send like a formulary or some sort of flyer to the
schools or something that talks about the speeding and like when you guys go out you I know that you're interacting with the public but is there something physical that that No, we we receive basically receive an assignment. Yeah.
to go and but I don't know what I really like is that like for for instance we go and we do our speeding and it's tickets ticket tickets is monetary for them there's they're sending a different type of message the
message is somebody can get killed you know this is it's a different format well there was a huge debate this year a good five yeah well everybody loves everybody Fires. Yeah. Yeah. Listen, you have a police
need here. We need here was it was me. Well, there was a huge cameras with the police with the buses and all that. So, for that Okay. I mean, we could we could probably again pass that on the community yet as far as
having a little bit more to give on those schools. Yeah, like I said, we just we kind of just receive the assignment and we just show up. A lot of times they're glad to see us, but sometimes even the administrators don't know why we're
there. Is there something wrong? Yeah. They start freaking out. There's a lot of schools. So, the good news is you have two people that are very well connected to the administrations of both schools. Mr. H right over here. He's very connected to Bob Grant. He's there every day and he literally works at my kids. Okay, cool.
So, two perfect ways to to get into those schools which I think would be wonderful. I mean, I think that parents and the parents are stressed out, but kids know. So, question I'm sorry, maybe I misunderstood. You work as a
group like 9 to5 morning hours or do you work shift work like everybody else? How the heck do you get everything done? Wow. Or 24 hours. And you're all on the same shift or different shift? Fire station. Have you
ever gotten a tour through the fire station? Me personally, no. But I know what they look like cuz I my from the outside at North Miami Beach. They were connected. So, I'm familiar with And you had to stay 24 hours to get a real feel for it. Yeah. And they're
always they're always cleaning the trucks. I think it's amazing. They never sleep. One thing that Dora and I discussed with Chief Bowling a while ago, which I I think will be a phenomenal idea, but I know there's some mixed feelings about it is to have a coffee with medic at station 64 just because that's the newest station we have in our town. Be kind of cool.
Obviously, there's there's personal quarters. We want to have anybody intrude. for separating parking would be parking have no parking. That would be the problem. Yeah. So just an ideal. I mean there is a hospital across the street. So yeah, but then again how many people
are really going to show that would be kind of cool. It's different at a firehouse come up. You're doing we see it with the cops. So that's we all want to see because secretly every cop I wanted to
be a fireman but I did law enforcement. So you ask any cop what they would do. Fireman everybody knows. Would this I came over would this visit be done during the week or on the weekend? If it's during
the week, you're not going to have that many people and cars and Saturday morning. Saturday. Yeah. Saturday. Yeah. But what I'm saying is keep it during the week and you don't have that much of a problem with parking and people and you want to have a good turnout though. Yeah. That's the point.
weekend issues. Yeah, we've been pretty good with those like guys can make arrangements for a few hours. The bank is closed on Saturday. That's what I'm saying. So, I mean, something we can make it work and then
we can you guys can set it up outside and then like have a certain amount of people like do a tour at a time so it's not you know 100 people in the station, right? You know what I mean? So, because that that is like that is our house
shifts. So, busting the people over. Yeah, because it goes around the corner. That's what I'm saying. So, we'll work something out. So, so we have something we want to though specifically.
We're going to we're definitely going to do the four. I mean, hey, that's my and we have we literally have I really literally have a sponsor lined up to do that if you if you all approve it. He's ready to go. Yeah, he's because he he loves the idea. So, it has
to go through public. Who do we have to get permission for? Yeah. No, I know. But somebody Yeah. Yeah. We have to go through probably our public and just run it through. Let us know. But it's not It shouldn't be too big a It's the same issues following like when they do when we do demos. Demos. They just call want
a demo at at the station or we want a demo at such and such a school or such and such a church. That's not too difficult to get. Should we use the word openhouse? Will that help us or should we use demo? No, open house. Hope we've used those as well. I I I think demo
would probably work which gets more open house. I mean demo's more understood. Yes. More respect. Demonstr demonstration. That way like that we can even have little stations to show kids like different extinguishers or how you know how to use the hose or you know you just kind of have little stages and it's
kind of interactive hands-on especially for the kids. I know the residents would love to. Yeah. And of course they can tour the trucks and we can meet a firefighter. Okay. So all right. So I guess you let us know then we can do that. So essentially what we'll do is um um so
Nancy has a motion and I'm going to second it. So this is this is essentially Yeah. The motion is to um let's just call it [Music] public.
No. Yeah. Public. Yeah, public involvement with MDFR and it's going to be A water safety, B school zone safety, C elderly safety, and uh the last one is uh firework firework. So, we got to
figure out how to kind of, you know, figure that talk about that later on the meeting. I don't want to hold on too long because they got, you know, they got somebody outside Carlos. Yes. Before we leave, I'll get your information, your email stuff if you
don't mind, please. Absolutely. Okay. And then uh I'll get I'll send an email to public ed and at least get the ball. Okay. Okay. Will you message? Yes, that was me. I'm on the other side. That's my number. Yeah. Okay. Perfect. That way I can send it to you right now. I know.
I'm not sure when he'll be back, but I'll at least get that email going. Perfect. Okay, great. So, I'll go ahead and do that and then um we So, we have a motion and I have a second. Um all in favor I any against? Motion passes.
Okay. So then now now we have that information ready to go and then um so much for for coming. Okay. Thank you. Really appreciate it. It's like really really happy to see you all. Thanks for having us. Yeah. Sorry miss. We got to get to the next. All good. Thank you guys. You guys
stay for five minutes. I am so lucky that you all are here. know these is actually perfect for us. Um transportation sorry I'm like hi agent go right on and go
you're the transportation planning department. We're uh embarking this year on our vision zero master planning uh which we're super excited. I don't know if you've heard about the vision zero plan in Miami day county. We're piggybacking on that and doing the town of Miami Lakes vision zero which is
basically to reduce fatalities and uh high injury due to uh traffic accidents to zero. Vision zero um by the year 20 um we are going to give you all you're going to leave after this. I'm going to
give you each one a little postcard. So, uh, this QR code takes you to a map where you can report areas that you have found that are unsafe, where you see a lot of things near misses, uh, situations, especially pedestrians, elderly, anything that you find that is
an unsafe condition, please. And we're also working on our transportation master plan. So, any places where you have wheel trouble getting your through, you guys, by all means, report it. Well, most of mine anyways, 100%. But, report it. Report it. report it cuz we're we're
trying to create this really rich map. We're starting right now. This is the beginning of it. We want to create a really rich map with a lot of information from the community and obviously you guys are invaluable for this. Um and the more stuff we get on that map, the better the end result is going to be. So, um so that's for Miami
date county, right? Not just Miami Lakes. No, this is just for Miami Day County already did theirs. Okay. We're piggybacking on Miami Day County and making then, you know, fine-tuning it. Yes. And we need to wrap this up by December. So this is this is all
happening throughout the summer. We're going to do a lot of outreach and you know to everybody else we're going to be doing a lot of outreach throughout the next six months or so and uh we have a wonderful uh consultant that is going to put together the entire package. We're doing this in coordination with the
transportation master plan which also will include other kinds of improvements that are not just safety related. But obviously this is a big lift for the town because we're a small little guy that punches really high and uh and we're very excited because I think this
is gonna change the way we talk about transportation improvements from the from the perspective of traffic flow. Switch it to more safety as a as a priority. So make our transportation
system safe first and then flowy. Right? So, it's a little bit of a perspective shift and obviously, you know, yeah, I don't know how I did this, but I got so lucky that y'all were here. So, is this going to be on the Miami Lakes
Connect app? Correct. No. Uh because we cannot it will be on the website somewhere. Okay. Uh because we cannot make them they're different systems and they don't talk to each other. Have you done a um social media campaign with this? Not yet. We're you're this is we're we're starting right now. We have
we're going to do a little video and you know I'm recruiting uh video stars if anybody wants to be featured. I don't like to do that but you know you're all like welcome to do the count. I mean this is we're we're kicking it off in this couple of weeks. So this is I'm I'm
recruiting preemptively so that I have as many people that are involved that are talking about these things and as many people with different obviously different ways of looking at the town, right? Because you all have different experiences. You all walk differently and have different ways to experience
how our facilities are. So, you know, the more the merry. Yes. Let's just say I speak to public works a lot, Jeremy. So, we have a pretty active neighborhood about things. So, for me to get back, that's why we're here. Um, we're also
going to be like sort of um tailing every one of your events because again, every event that we can get out to collect more people's opinions is important to us. So, if we would really be very grateful if we get invited to everything you do, including obviously
uh uh for Justin went to the bingo last time. He's already been It wasn't the bingo. It was the holiday part. Always had a lot of fun. He loved it. It was a good time. Dancing. Super jealous. I'm telling you.
Yeah. You can hide with me behind the desk. Get away from be dancing with you were dancing. I Okay. So, we'll be going to again obviously the pool safety really and the and with all the lakes. Yes. Yes. And
the the things like the the speed limits. This is also geared a little bit to being able to have better studies. You know how they always say, "Oh, you want to reduce the speed here?" Well, you have to have a study. This is the study to end all studies. This is
basically like a townwide study of all the little things that we can do to reduce speeds, to reduce to to increase compliance with speed limits. Not just put a little stick with a little number on it, but actually make people want to drive the speed that they're supposed to
drive. And not right. Baby goes. Yes. Does this include Hey, is this at least it says baby goes? That's good. It says baby goes on there. Speed bumps. Is this part of this? So every time we request a speed bump. One
of the things we have to do is I um so again this is part of um recommending speed limiting uh devices wherever they're needed. Now, the thing about speed bumps is that they're a little bit of a band-aid, right? They're
actually um mediocre already heard this before, but they're a mediocre um tool for what they are. We prefer other ways of limiting speeds. They're a lot more effective and they're not based on I know I will say that the amount of speed
bumps in Yes. lakes does increase our response. Yes. because they are speed right thing. So it does cause us to be slower to calls. Yes. So is there again every once in a while you need a speed bump? Yes. Uh is that like the only tool
in our toolbox in order to reduce speeds which is something that we know we need to do? No. And again expanding that toolbox so that we can reach out for better methods of speed reduction and and still with the knowledge that you still have to not create visibility
issues and that you you see what I'm saying. So these are all things that you need to take into consideration but you know here we go. So we're very excited. I think this is going to be a great project. I'm I have a lot of hope for this to change the way we converse with
the county. We converse with FDOT uh the TPO and all the alphabet soup of agencies that we deal with when it comes to traffic and and our facilities and and roads and the you know and all the these things that we have to deal with that we can start talking in terms of
safety first and not just in terms of how many cars can we flow through in in a certain number of time. Excellent. Quick question. Can you just start with fairway drive? Actually, fairway drive is already getting uh
not enough. I'm telling you right now. Well, fairway drive is part of the study because everything is part of the study. So, everything is going to get looked up. Hopefully, it's everything including county facilities including 67th Avenue which we have already walked um in
October. We walked from Navaro tound it was in Hay Alia that that mall that uh that uh all the way in Halia. It was all the way in Hay and then walked it on the other side and walked it back when it was night time and walked it all the way. 67,000. Yes. And documented
traffic lights. Yes. You know, traffic lights. We documented all of it including the fact that they never trained their trees and we documented everything for the county as part of their um as part of the TPO's efforts to again this is the alphabet soup is insane but uh so what I'm trying to say
is that we will be doing that level of analysis on every road and facility in Miami obviously when we have other people's input because you know my experience walking the street is my experience I am 5 feet female um in
relative I'm I'm a very good walker but if somebody that has you know that is using a cane or somebody that has visibility issues like how do you experience the street right so I need to know these things to be able to exactly so you see what I'm saying
I'm telling you fairway reminds me of the speedway when I used to help my cousin race his car it was like the lights would come down and it was like one big straightaway and I it's every day it's the same thing at fairway come
and going even with with the five o'clock you know traffic it's it's just too long of a roadway with no traffic count us in you know whatever you need I mean um you know we we
discussed this in our quarterly chair meeting that we had there's things that we can work together town staff other committees as simple as putting something on Instagram Yes and getting other people involved because I think this something you just need a lot of data. Oh yeah. Yeah. So, you know, most certainly count me in. That's what we're
roping in right now. Right now, I'm just like in here for the data collection because the more people sort of like jump in and start giving feedback, the more stuff we're going to have to respond to. And that's that's it. Yes. Yes, sir. Um, speed bumps hinder you
guys. In case they're thinking about doing roundabouts, how does a roundabout work with a ladder engine? It depends on the turning radius. I mean, you still have to, you know, slow down for go. It's a big heavy truck. So,
a little easier easier than speed bumps. Easier on the equipment. Yeah. Easier on the equipment. And again, these are all different tools, right? Like you have a basically a a a silverware drawer. You got knives, you got forks, you got spoons, you got little spoons. We need
to be able to use the entire Civil War drawer, not just walk around with a fork and try until I eat soup, right? So there's there's there's a tool for every occasion and at the end of the day is to create the goals and to start finding good strategies and good things that we can implement, you know, everywhere
where we need them and with the right tool for the right spot, right? with and again with with the goal of just reducing fatalities and and understanding that the state already has gone through this and the county has already gone through this. So we're
basically just coming right up behind them. So we're not the lonely voices in the in the wilderness now. Now there's going to be some more gentle ears listening to to these things. Right. Well, you came to the right place. Yes, sir. Yeah, because we just we just
literally had this uh two months ago we did a PSA about cell phones and walking. Yes. As silly as it sounds, people get hit by cars when they're looking at her cell phone. Someone got hit in the face. Amodore said mirror from a truck. She was walking out of school looking at her cell phone. So, this is exactly kind of where we're at. So, we're here for you.
I'm and sorry to detain you. That's it. You can go now. I'm good. I feel bad cuz they look like they're like ready to go hanging out with the cops. Yes. Thank you so much. Thanks for having us. Thank you guys. Thank you so much for coming. Thank you.
That was great. So much. Okay. I went to the academy with a lot of people from Augustine Jackson 175. Oh, the 164. Okay. So, yeah, it's been a while. I did 12 years full-time, 12 year reserve and I've been
here 2020. No, I retired in 2020. That's it. All right, man. Thank you so much. Deputy Aidor, you've been recognized. Oh, let the record show that Louis Lopez is here. He's He's here in flesh. He's not absent. Okay. Here. All right. I'm
going to go over some stats. Uh year to date. Uh I'm to advise that homicides are still at zero. Uh robberies, we were at three, we're at two this year, so we're down by one. Uh autothefts, we were at 40, we
are at 19. So we are down by 21. amazing. Uh we had two commercial burglaries. We're at zero for the year, which the I'm going to say it every time. The problem with these numbers is
that you can't go under zero, right? So, anything after that is going to be, oh, the world's coming to an end. I mean, you know, it's it is what it is. We're happy we're at zero for some of these. Uh residential burglaries, we're at three and we're at two. uh and the other
stuff. I love it. Again, appreciate what you do. Um I mean when I say this, we had a great uh you know, group of guys and gals that work with us and I I consider us extremely lucky. Um so that that's that's all great numbers. Obviously,
there's going to be some things here on the agenda that are going to lead to towards you and how we can keep those numbers low. Um but thank you for reporting those figures. Okay. Now, um I apologize to the committee, but I got excited with our our our visitors today and I skipped an item on our agenda. So,
we skipped item number four, adoption of April 22nd, 2025 minutes. Uh I make a motion to approve them. Do I have a second? I Okay, we'll get John Carlos with second. All in favor say I. I. Any against? None. Okay. The motion passes
CA and GR. Okay. So, here we are going to the order of business. Uh, 3054 police magnets. Okay. Now, let's go ahead and state something for the record. Uh, there seems to be
some um confusion with 3054 police and 305 sheriff. Okay. Yes, there is now a 305 sheriff. However, 3054 police is not going away. Even though there was a publication that was sent out by the sheriff's office that it was being
replaced, it is not being replaced. Okay. So, that is that is something that I reached out to the Miami Laker because the recent Miami Laker copied the uh the the notification was essentially a press release that is being replaced. It's
now. So, with that said, uh thanks to to uh Detective Mendes, she went ahead and with got confirmation from the communications bureau of the sheriff's office and stated that 3054 police is still a very valid number. So, it leads straight to the same place, the same place. And is the Laker going to in some
way print retract a retraction or an explanation? I think we should ask them. I've asked Linda for it. I've asked Linda and I told I told Linda, "Here's a communication that I received from the sheriff's office. and it specifically states that real fight for police is still active. So I've asked Linda to to
please, you know, here's the new comm, here's the new information. I'm not sure what she's going to do with it. At the end of the day, the 90 maker is a private organization. We can tell them what they want, but essentially she's not wrong because there was a press release that was sent out. Yeah. Yeah. There was a press release. We all know
our communications department is saying that it's not going anywhere and that that that's that's what they're thinking with. It's not going anywhere. So, right. you know, well, if if if it comes to this, maybe we should I'm not making a motion or anything right now, but if
it comes to this, I think it's so important for it to be corrected that maybe we spend a little bit of money and put an article in the Laker and then if we're paying for that, then they can't give us an argument about the space or
the this or the that. But I think it's that important. Well, let's see what she does first because she could do a little bit. Linda, Linda, I'm trying. I'm already That's fine. But, right. I'm going to leave you to it. But if you get a brick wall, then we might have to
abortion. Then it's an idea. Okay. That's all. Yeah. And and maybe maybe if we voted now that if you get that brick wall, you've already got a vote here to go ahead
with paying for a little blurb to correct it. I'm just trying to get ahead the, you know, of a problem. Yeah. Here's the thing. I me personally I would rather not because before I spend any money I would ask for some official communication from the sheriff's office
to be sent to the Laker pretty much telling them listen and I've already I I've quoted the email so I got the email from Detective Nandas and I copied and pasted it and I said let's put it straight to the communications bureau so and you know just my opinion um I wouldn't want to pay for something I don't have to pay for it. Yeah know I
agree. So I agree. So there's two things. Let's see if she does it on her own initiative. If not, you follow up with the communication center straight to the link. I think it's it's their responsibility to print some kind of retraction. And I don't want to call it a refraction. Just clarification.
Exactly. That's what I'm saying. If they don't want to call it a refraction, then then just you know, if they don't want to take any responsibility, misunderstand, however the heck they word it, it's up to them to get it into the newspaper. Do it as an update. Yeah. They've done it. They've done that whole time.
Exactly. I'm sure she'll come through. Yeah, I've sent it to her and like worst case scenario, like I said, we can always work with Amadore and Nevis to get something an official documentation from the sheriff's office so that she can retract. That's it. Okay. But but more than anything, the item here is the magnets. Okay. So, the magnets are still
going through as 305 for police. That's already been communicated to the vendor. The vendor hasn't worked on the magnets, but he's been paid and now he has he's going to work on them. Okay. Okay. So, just I wanted to give everybody a heads up. Okay. Now, we have a um a a date when it would be ready. I don't
I can I can follow up though. I can I we'll certainly follow up and see what's going on with uh Drew. Okay. Now, um car show, we obviously have to bring this up every meeting until we we get there. Uh so, a few things that I want to I want
to bring up. Okay. First and foremost, we changed the date to October 11th. And it was about to me, there was a sponsor that I was speaking to, and he says, "By the way, FYI, October 11th is Columbus weekend." So, do a lot of people travel Columbus
weekend? If it's a three-day weekend, they're going to travel. Well, there is school. Yeah, schools are open. Yeah, schools are open. Yeah. So, I don't I don't know if people are going to do anything. What day does it come? On a Friday or Monday? Oh, Columbus or Saturday? Well, I don't know. I'm sorry. Yeah. Well, depending
because if it falls on a Monday or Friday, you're going to be faster. Maybe there's people that will travel, but if it falls like on a Saturday, you don't get an extra day off. Monday. So, you got Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
Who is not out for that date? It's not a 38 observe it. Then we're done. So that's I mean October 11th is okay. Yeah. All right. Just wanted to tell everybody this identifier. Okay. Because leave it to me that I totally didn't even Okay. So now we the name we
already discussed is the time we already discussed. Now the sponsorship package has already been provided and approved by the town. Now here's what's going on right now. What I've done. I've reached out to the grant company. I've spoken to um Sarah, okay, which is in charge of
the the uh pretty much she's in charge of I guess facilities, right? So, she's essentially um now put on notice. However, there's still official protocol that's going to come out from the town. What the town has asked us to do, Isabella, thank you for keeping us in check, is to come out with a with a
layout. I don't know if anybody has had an opportunity to pass by the location. So, here's the problem. You mentioned that that at the same time I have the ground company telling me that they're going to be doing renovations to multiple parking lots in
Main Street. I don't know if that specific location is going to be renovated. So, we can sit here and get a dry raceport out and and do all this stuff and guess what? It might not be the location. Do they have an answer? She wanted to confirm and get back to me. Okay. And I got a hold of her last
Thursday. I felt kind of rude asking her today as an update. I literally just got a hold of her last Thursday. So once they know then we'll do whatever action we need to do, right? We have to obviously go back to the university or Yeah. Well, what if we tonight discuss
with the assumption that October 11th would be workable and then maybe discuss an alternative date and this way we don't have to keep having meetings to pick and choose what are we doing? The data is fine. The date is fine. It's
just the location. Okay then. All right, substitute date with location. But in other words, let's decide tonight so that you don't have to get back with us. You know what the alternative is if it's got to be changed. Well, here here's the
thing. There's they're not going to do every parking lot at the same time because that would that would pretty much hinder, you know, the everything everything in Main Street. Yeah. So, if it's not one parking lot, it could be another parking lot. But the question is which one they haven't done back. So we
have uh the university as a backup test as a backup. So what I suggest is just as unfortunately at this point and and we're getting kind of close to the fire here. We have to make our decisions of there's a lot of things that we got to do. I mean, I make a motion that we let
our chair pick and choose the location as soon as he finds out from the grounds without having to come back to a vote. We're going to go along with whatever you say the Grams are doing and we have to work
around and we go from there. And then you print up your paperwork and your advertising and whatever. But I think we need to give you free reign to make a decision because that's going to have to be on the spot. I'm pretty sure you're
not going to have time to decide when we got a meeting here. Can we do that? Well, we had already discussed the university, so we could just keep it as a backup, right? Yeah. And we can we can keep it as a backup and and and to your motion, thank you for that. I mean, I think right now, I mean, as far as like
it just has to make sense and and the issue really is like, okay, if if one thing is, for example, like I said, okay, if we can't do that location, how about behind Tony Rob? I just love calling it Tony Robes. That's the good old times, right? They said, no, that's the first place we're going to take
down. In fact, what they're going to do is all the farmers market is going to be moved. They're already working on that. So, that's going to be the first road they work on. So, how about this? I'm going to interrupt. How about we just totally forget the grams and their properties and whatever
and we just go with the the other thing. Oh, that's the grams as well. Yeah, everything is grams. But isn't that they can't they give us a better answer on that location? They don't know either. It might be used. No, because they haven't imagined that that was the first location and they never even gave me an
answer for it. So, while they were waiting, because I even reached out to the university three times, phone calls, emails twice, text messages, they haven't even got back to me. And then that's why I was like, well, hold on a second. Are we at the right location? And that's why I brought it up to a boat and everybody's like, "Yeah, let's do Main Street." So, I
think at this point, I just want to provide you all an update. Quite frankly, you know, what needs to happen now is they need the layout. So as soon as details like how many cars, is there going to be stages, lighting, it's at night time, they need a better idea of what the event is before they do a hold
list for that. So right. So so we need a lot of question marks. Yeah, that's a lot. So in other words, we're we need to make sure like right now if this committee is not prepared to discuss this, then let's just table it and let's discuss again. this this an alternate alter
alternate date. I think the date doesn't make a difference because the issue maybe is right now is location. The date is not a problem. Yeah. But but if they're doing something on that particular date, they're not going to be doing it, let's say, two weeks later. No, no. This is
this is this is construction like like bulldozers and they're taking the whole thing out. So this is we're talking about months delay. So I don't at this point we have we have preliminary I didn't realize they were doing that much now. Yeah. Yeah. So I think at this point we need to come with our hats next
meeting and hopefully we have an answer and I need you know you all to kind of have some ideas as well like hey what do you think? Should we have a stage? Should we not have a stage you know and and you know what vendors you all recommend? I know Oscar I need to reach out to Oscar and I haven't done that yet because I need an answer from them. So there's obviously the heat needs to be
turned up a little bit because next month is June you know. So, we got to we got to we got to get this moving. Well, hopefully by next meeting we'll know if that parking lot's going to be hopefully they should we should there should be no reason why we shouldn't. You you're you're making a motion. Do
you need a second? Is that where we're at? No. No motion. No motion. No motions. No motions right now. Right now we're tableing it and then we just we just need to you know obviously all the turn up to eat on this because right now Isabella I I haven't reached out to you by design to schedule me to speak to the
council yet and I've done that because I don't have answers yet right I need answers and then I go back to them. Yeah there needs to be a more solid plan for you. Yeah. So that's why I haven't gone just FYI. Okay. So um and thank you for bringing the DJ. So there there's there's certain things that we can start
doing. Like for example, at some point I need to do an RFP to send out to a few DJs to get prices. That's something I I should I can probably do and bring by next meeting. You know, nobody's going to require that you have a date. Yeah, we have a date. October
11th. We have a date October 4 and 10. We have a date. The thing is location. Okay. So that that's good. Okay. So now to continue going to business. Okay. The just this is just to just to discuss, you know, some of our accomplishments in the last
month. Uh for National Law Enforcement Appreciation Month, um Miami Lakes Chamber, uh we had Major Gonzo speak to to everyone. I I thought it was great. I mean, what do you think, Amador? How
that came out? I think that came out I think it could have came out better. I mean everything that was um talked about I think was very relevant to the town. Um I think that he also spoke about um his tenure and and um
everything he's accomplished within the department over the years. Um so I I think both things are relevant and people want to hear both things like who is this guy? Where he come from? What has he been doing? First time I've ever heard anybody do that and give us his
history. It I was there. It was it was it was nice to learn and sorry Lewis and and and you weren't there but it was it was a nice event and the the audience was engaged. I mean John Carlo was there too. You know it
was it was really good and and the best part about it was that again it was his history and then the talent you know all you know all the accomplishments that we have crime traffic and different initiatives that we do. Um coffee of a cop on peace peace officers memorial day. Uh we did it at
Einstein. I'm always going to beat myself up. I always feel like we can do better but pretty good. I mean I don't know I don't know I don't know if you saw the photos. you know, it's it's during the week. Mhm. People are working, the kids are in
schools. I think we had a very good turnout. Um, it's a it's a big place that can also house a lot of people. Um, don't beat yourself up about it. If it's on a Saturday and no one shows up, then we have a problem, you
know. Yeah. But I mean considering all those factors, you know, people are at work and and it's it's it's even it's not even early enough where people are going into work where they stopping by. Yeah. You know, they're already outour when we're doing our thing. I think bunch of people were there. Yeah. No, we
definitely had probably the biggest round. I mean, obviously before my time, I don't know how how the turnout was, but I thought it was pretty good. the turnout as far as aspect. I'm always gonna compare myself to Dorado which I know is a different animal because they get a lot of people for the comp. Um and I think that you're absolutely right. I
think it's just really the time the time and place really the place was good. The time is still like you said it's still tough. You know people going to work and in the summer are out and they go on vacation so the parents are on vacation. So it's you're never going to have a perfect turnup. Yeah. There's always going to be hurdles. If I remember
correctly, wasn't there another group that met that day? Couple of guys. Oh, they meet every day. Oh, yes. Every single day they're at that table. Really? All right. Okay.
Never mind. Well, so we had a um and last week uh sorry that you guys I know Pena weren't you weren't able to make it, but Lewis actually showed up. Um the FIA for for both police and fire was was was very
good, was very well attended. a little bit of a miscommunication with some folks with like, you know, um with the food because, you know, the ship that came in to uh the sheriff's office didn't have food by the time he came in and really they were the biggest audience that they were supposed to get.
So, you know, they came in um prepared for that because it was also not just um it's it's a it's the thank you for having done that for us. So, okay, I'm going to go out of my way to not have any type of food. Come in and and and
have the food and and thank you. So, they were they were ready. Yeah. When they came in, are you talking they didn't have leftovers for the next shift? Is that what you're talking about? No. Well, they didn't either. The they didn't when they came in, nobody the previous shift didn't leave them food. Yeah, but the whole the way that
it was designed the baya was it was at a set time so that the ship that comes in at 2 had food and they did. So what ended up happening is that we had you know those other individuals that were getting food that really shouldn't have
and what other people getting second they probably shouldn't have. So, do you think it'll be better like we did last year and just provide the trays and leave them at the location so every shift that comes in has them? Um, that that probably is better, but the whole idea of this was to have the involvement
and we did have it because we were able to speak to everybody. I spoke to a lot of people from FIRE that I haven't spoken to before, which was phenomenal. I came up with great ideas to help our initiatives, but I think there was other folks that kind of came in kind of skipped the line. Maybe there should have been a little more control in that.
So for the next one now we know now we know we have the other folks were were in the next coming incoming shift. That's correct. So, and we don't really have any control over arranging when their shifts come or or can we give them
different times like okay your group comes in at whenever I'm sorry time wise it was tough because it was at 1 and then the other shift was coming in at two and everything started at 1. So by the time they were going to come in, they were going to get they were going to get
still the the food that was being there, but they were going to get the food. Well, the times were perfect. Yeah. Times. So So that's where I missed. I didn't even realize there was an issue. So what was the issue that they over overlapped or the first group
took seconds? I think there was other folks that that that took the food that it really wasn't relevant to them and really should have been. And do we know who those other folks were? So, I'm a bit of a control freak. So, I just think how do we fix it for next time? We don't
want that happening again. You learn the first time the hard way and we're embarrassed to a certain degree, but if it happens a second time, man, what that's that's totally wrong. That's because it was out in the open, right? and anybody can walk up. The trades you
leave in the stations and the only people are there are firemen are firemen and officers, right? It's a little bit more closed. You know what at um uh the bingos and stuff, the food goes right to the back
kitchen and then the servers members um we go into the kitchen area and we serve. There's six at this table, so I'll take six meals and we do the serving. And even if that's how it has
to come with us picking up the right amount of meals and sitting, you know, if they're sitting somewhere and then you're getting people served that way, it prevents that thing with people getting seconds in line. It prevents the second,
but it won't prevent the freeloaders that aren't supposed to be there because they'll just sit at a table and somebody will serve. Well, I don't want to on the record here say, "Well, who I I don't understand where the freeloaders came from. How did they learn about it? Were they not supposed to?" Well, it was not
in the open from the pictures that I saw. So, anybody could just Yeah, I think I think just walked in. I think everybody was invited some way or another. Yeah. No, no. Because it was open, but it wasn't like out here on the on the street. It was in the back in the
parking in the back in the parking lot of the police. And then it Yeah. What I meant is people that weren't the police, but yes, other people could invite other. Yes. And I'll have to say that the the police were the less ones that got food. I have to say that were the least ones that got So, how about giving out tickets to the
police? Well, I think and they turn in the ticket for the food. I think I think we'll have to discuss. I mean obviously we learn from this, right? Yeah. So the tickets is a good idea. Do I have permission to check with um her nickname
is Jarro from Elderly Affairs and get any hints from her if that's okay with you guys? Because that's elderly affairs and like I said 132 meals. I don't know how many meals we covered with this police thing, but I it bothers me that
some people didn't get a meal and others came when they shouldn't have. We need a little more. We got to police the police. Well Well, I I Well, protect the police. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I think I think it was just some miscommunication. Next time we'll make sure it's very
clear. Yeah. And I think next time we'll use tickets. And if you understand Yeah. If you understand how we can solve it, I'll go along with whatever you want me to do. I'll help out. You know that. The reason why I'm bringing this up is because guess what? Now we know. Yeah. and next time we got to make sure we can get our guys, you know, the
well-deserved meeting, right? So, okay. O, overall, I I I thought we I thought the month was great. You know, a lot of things Well, it's not over yet, thankfully, but you know, um we learned we did some good things and in the law enforcement appreciation month. Yeah.
Little token for you guys. Um okay, very important. Lock it or lose a campaign. This is an issue. All right. We had they literally went the town in my neighborhood the other day. Okay. It must hit six or
seven houses. Yes. We'll lock it or lose it. So, we need um we need to launch this campaign up and you know, I'll take full responsibility because Amadore brought this up two months ago and and we haven't done anything about it. So, now
we got to do something about it. I'll tell you one thing that I think is a simple um not a solution. There's no solution to this, but just enough of is the town
um doing more more of the town is overwhelmed with all the things that they have to put out, but a schedule of putting it out because for instance on the back of it, it says 9:00
reminder. the town sends like on Instagram or one of them a nine o'clock reminder at nine they post something people are gonna see it by maybe by 10 and they go oh wow that's right I have to check and I have to lock the the the
cars and that way the it's a it's a simple thing doesn't I don't think it requires any money or I don't know how that works but I think through the town you get you're going to get a lot of people that already involved you guys maybe on your own social media, right? 9:00 reminder. Hey
guys, remember at 9:00 because that's how that's how the flyer set. Yeah. Overkill or just also go. So, let let's do this right now. I'm going to make a motion. Okay. So, my motion is lock it or lose it
campaign. Right. And now that motion, I'm going to bring up two things. Number one, social media. and number two, the Miami Lake advertising. Okay, so that's my motion.
I will need a second and a vote so that we can converse about it. I got a second. Okay, so we have a motion by CA, seconded by NR. All in favor say I. I. Any against? Okay, the eyes have it. Okay, so here here's what what I
recommend. The easiest thing to do right now is social media. Okay. Do you need uh does the communications department do you guys call by communications department? Yeah, department of communication. Um yeah, so for social media an idea if you want your dollies to make something like she did
previously or I think there might be a visual already for locker includes it some type of something that she can base off the design. Okay. Yeah. So the information is that something we need from you all or do you want to do you want them to create it from scratch with
their own or I assume you have you have something for him yourself. Yeah, we well the lo the flyer is our flyer the town one that we have from the town and just a a picture of the actual flyer is you know
selfexplanatory unless we want to do a whole production. Well, the whole thing is is if we if we have um if we have already some sort of a um you know image for it, I look it up. Yeah, they do. It's a little the little I don't know why I feel like it.
Oh, here we go. Yeah. Be smart. Lock it or lose it. This thing right here. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. Yeah. So, over here, what this means is essentially we're going to use the same thing in order to make your job super easy. All you have to change here is the badge of uh the sheriff's
office because the bottom left has the old badge. I can give you the new seal that was given to me by Sergeant Sodto. Um my motion will include uh to to have social media. Oh yeah. Yeah. Okay. So I have my phone already. Social media and Miami. Well, let's first talk about
social media. Okay. So the idea is that this more likely will come up as a story. Okay. which means in Instagram language that it goes away. We got the Instagram uh right here. Actually, Donald is stepping up the game. Um so you've got it goes away in 24 hours
right now. Um listen, I'm not go I'm not going to intrude on the communications department and how do they do their job? They know how to do their job and they do it very well. So the whole idea is we want it on Instagram, okay? So we can get it out
because we need to get it out before summer hits. We got two more weeks left of school and you know it's going to be you know they're going to be at it and I'm hoping we keep those numbers low. That's the first the first part of the motion. The second part of the motion is and before I make the second motion I do have a question for
staff. You have any idea how much it costs to send a mailing to the entire town every house in in the town? You have any idea what that costs? I've been inquired about that. I don't know have that amount. Okay. Yeah. I don't ask you. Does that include businesses or you
don't want businesses? Cuz that's what she's going to have to look up. Just residential or businesses including I know a guy that does by zip code and he mentioned something a long time ago I was talking to him. He said 700 bucks. It sounds about right because when they were talking about the special taxing
districts last time they were saying like 400 for just like Royal Oak Lopes East or something which is a lot of money. Yeah. So, the reason why I'm asking her that question is because the Miami Laker, I think, and it's funny. I hear mixed things about how, you know,
how much traction the Miami Laker gets. In my mind, it still gets traction because I I read it. I have neighbors that approach me that read it. And I got to tell you, I'm pretty impressed with their pricing. The pricing is not that bad, but we would pay for that. That's where the motion comes into play because
what they're telling us, I reached out to them and that's why you have here as an addendum to the agenda. There's here the Miami Laker. Okay, so the Miami Laker has at the very bottom of this page. Okay, it tells you the cheapest. Okay, so the cheapest one is you want to
go black and white, $95 an issue. If you want to go color, it's 200. Okay, that's for one six of a page. Then it goes 1/8. Then you have a quarter. Okay. So now say again black and white. We don't need
colors. We don't need color. I mean looking at the logo it's looking at the actual uh language it's really not that crazy. So black and white is totally fine the way it is. Now the question is what size do we want? You know we have 116th we have 1/8. Then then what you
have to consider is that it it you do you want it to be one or three issues? You know, keep in mind every issue you you do you got to pay. So right now it's $95. If you go to three issues, it's 300. Okay. So
um I and I I'll defer this to Nancy. Have we ever done any publication public service announcement on Miami? Not that I can remember. No, not in the not in that many years I've been here. Okay. Well, this is going to be our first one. So, we we're going to we're going to see how it how it is. So, how do we feel
about we you said black and white. It seems like most of most of the folks here think black and white's okay. What do we think about size? Do we want to keep it at 1/16th? Do we want to go up to 1/8? Do we want to go up to one to to a quarter?
The thing is, um, it's per issue, right? So, it's going to increase. We can only do it. We can do it once if you want and see if we get any kickbacks. Hey, I got it. That was great. Yeah, we could do like a test
run, you know, like a test. That's where the sellers per Yeah, that was when the all that gets ramped up, right? Cuz the kids are out of school. That work. That's works. Yep. That That works. That works. And they have it already because actually now that I thought about it, they I sent it to them. So you don't
need this one. That one they must have it already. I think I think I sent it to them. Do you want me to show it to you? Yeah. Of course. Okay. So what? So we're thinking about a test. So you're So let's say it's 18 black and white. One issue would be 225. Yeah. Where do you
want the match? If you do three issues now, you're looking at over 600, close to 700. No. Or we just do one issue of quarter page 330. I'm wondering if the guy that I spoke to
a while back, he says he does it per zip code, he could get everybody if he if it's true what he says the whole 33014 mail something out for about $700. Yeah, we're family 3014. Yes, I believe
so. No, no, no. There's 30165 Oh, okay. Okay. Now, okay. So now I thought everything was okay. That's why I'm thinking if it's 33014 it's one mailing but now you're talking about Yeah. Okay. So three different zip codes. Let's do this while we wait for that gentleman to get back. Well,
actually town staff is going to get back to us for the mainware. Okay. Um which I go back and forth with that if that's effective or not. No, three zip codes is going to be 2100 bucks if it's 700. Yeah, we do have our Google newsletter that we send out in the mail. We also do
a a news reel every month for upcoming events and things like that. So, this is an initiative that can be added to that as well. Okay. Yeah. So, in other words, that that goes under the first part of the month, which is social media. Exactly. And then the new on social media, it's more email, but it's still part of the campaign. So, why don't we
do the social media first, that's no expense. See how that goes and we can always follow up with the Laker. Here's my concern. I almost don't want to wait them off. Okay. That's just me. I mean, no, you're right. School's going to be out. They might think otherwise.
School's going to be out and they're going to be rolling the streets. Yeah. You know, I mean, right now the difference is I mean, look, when it comes to budget, so that you know, we have right now in budget, available budget, we have $3,900. Okay. So, we still have a lot, you know. So, let's
let's do a test run. You want to do a test run? Are we thinking, guys? Okay. So, I want to hear some some dialogue here from this committee. What do you think? Do you think we should do 116th? Do you think we should do 18? Lewis, do you think we should do one a quarter page? What do you guys think? The
difference between the three is $100. You have to keep in mind what line item it's coming out of as well with what you have funding in right now. So heard something, right? Right. Here is probably not where where it's going to come out of, right? So, I don't know how
much the um chamber that doesn't reflect right now how much the total amount of people was, but you have to keep in mind that 360 is not accurate. Yeah. Well, what I'll do is I'll just make another motion to move. Yeah. Because we have which is an overkill. We have 300 $3,300
for the for the breakfast, which is not even going to have one like Okay. How about this? You can do three issues for 300 bucks, right? 116. How do you When you guys read the Laker, what do you guys have? Have you ever seen a small Do you read the really small print or do you look at
really the quarter? They have they have everything. I I personally read everything when I do read the Laker. Louis, what do you think? The quarter. The quarter page. Okay. You're saying you're saying uh 116th? Yeah. Because for 300 bucks you get three issues. A quarter is only
going to be one issue for 330, right? It'll be bigger, but well the the the top of this says prices are per issue. That's correct. So if you've got one to three issues, it's going to be per issue. So whatever is on here and you got to
multiply it times three, right? Well, that's the way I'm reading it. Yeah. So if you do 95, three issues, that's 300. You get three three hits. Okay. a quarter of a page one time will be only one hit. Maybe, you know, repetitive
three issues in a row, it'll be a smaller a smaller ad, but they'll see it three times. Wow. Well, I like that idea because sometimes if they at least read it once, see it once out of three. Yeah. We're
going to get more for our money. If we put it only once, they might not read it that much. Yeah. You know, maybe it rained that morning and everything's soaking wet and we throw it in the garbage. So, I didn't read that issue. For some reason, they're out of town. Yeah. If you put it three, you got three
shots of getting them. Okay. So, now I I understand what Louis is saying. I understand what you're saying. Yeah. Because I mean, the thing is what I don't know is I don't know if you're locked in for the three. You have to do this or you can just do one. Oh, you could probably do one because it says
one to three issues. So you're not committed to it says per issued prices per issue. Yeah. What we're whatever. So I didn't get down here, but let's say the black and white quarter page vertical for $330. It's going to cost you 330 times three. If you do it three
times. Yeah, it's Yeah, but that's the thing. I wonder if you could just do it once. You could, but it's only one hit as opposed to three. I would I would say at least two. All right. So I So let's do this. Let's do 50.
Um, but we're going to hit three and we should just go with a 1/16th. Yeah. All right. So, you have two numbers of 116. What do you say, Nancy? If we're going to go with three issues. Well, the thing is what he mentioned a very good point. You're out of town. I didn't think about that. Yeah. I don't
read it. I don't read it religiously because I forget that it goes out. Sometimes I go to get it and it's already out. So, I don't read it religiously. All right. So, so let's do this. Let's make let's make everybody's job easier easier. Let's do the three issues for the 116th. That's $95 an issue. That's $300. Okay. So, you're
going to make a motion for that. Motion for that. Yes. So, then I second. All right. So, we have uh we have CA. So, what you're doing is this one right here, correct? That's 116th. Yeah. Okay. And that's $95 an issue.
Okay. Times three. Times three. Okay. So the the the thing is what I don't understand is I don't know um if we have uh to pay tax on that. So in this case we're we're going to go ahead and just state that it's the 95 time three. Okay.
Is gives me $285. Let's just say there's and then plus tax if if there's any I don't know. I don't think there's $95 is black and white by the way. It's not in color. Yeah. So, let's just So, let's just say that, you know, the motion is for $315
to be safe. Okay. All right. So, then just to make sure, we have two things going on here. We have social media. We're going to be working with the communications department to get that out. They have the image. All we need, all they need, which they should have already, is the sheriff. Okay. And um
then we're going to have uh the the uh $315 for the Miami Day. Okay. So, that's the motion. We have a second by Nancy. All in favor say I. I. All oppose. Okay. The eyes have it. So we have a motion.
Do you want this? Do we have to vote on this? No, I already have it from Sodto. Okay. So I have it from Sodto. He give it from Sodto. But as a committee, do we have to vote on No, cuz No, I just for it to. Okay. The other part is who do I send this to? No, I have. You have this
one? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, sorry. Yeah. don't have it. Okay. Falcon, we're going to push that. Okay. Because obviously she's going to uh you heard the sheet the sheet. She said she was going to reach out and let us know. Okay. So, that's deferred. Okay. Now,
budget fiscal year 2526. Isabelle, do we owe you anything for that right now? Yes. So, I just got a heads up for from the finance department. So, the budget will be um next month. So, I need to know what needs or wishes you all have for the next fiscal year. Do we need an
answer now or next month we give it to you? I need an answer now. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Because you meet after the deadline. So, okay. So, here. So, so essentially here's here's where I'm at with that. And this is where Okay. We right now as a
committee have a budget of $4,800. And the dilemma that we have is that the car show is new fiscal year. And in my mind, I would have love, that's why I asked the question today through email. I would have loved to do a budget carryover. You're saying that cannot happen, right? You have to spend the
money, right? Okay. So, and then the other concern that I have is as a committee, as a resident, I keep hearing jabber that we're going to get sliced with, you know, there's so much things going on because there are budget cuts because of the new millage that the
prior council voted for and how that's going to lead to this year. So, I'm like, oh my god, how's that going to affect us as a committee? We're going to have less budget or not. Mhm. Um I I want to say that as a committee, you know, we would love to have more, right? You know, our wants, but I I I I
want to say that at some point I feel like I I had a form that I had to fill out with the budget. Is that still something? I'm talking about the council report. Could have sworn it was another Maybe it was a council one. Maybe it was a council. There's a budget
section of of the report like what have you spent, what are you going to do in future as maybe I don't know if that's what you're maybe maybe that's what I'm confused. Yeah. Okay. Okay. As a committee I I want to say there's obviously you know and you're not obviously you're the leazison but you
know to the council's point there's a lot of things barely touching the tip. I think most of us would agree here. You know, there's a lot of things we can do with initiative here, you know, both fire and police. I feel like we need more money
for the future in order to do more. I know it's been hard to do. We've asked for it and I don't think we've got it there. Currently, we have 4,800. The issue is that this car show event was planned for October. So, it's kind of like, okay, we
might not, you know, the 4,800 might be tight. It depends. There might be different initiatives that we do. So, it's a hard response to your question, but I'm just going to say that we would like to have at least um $5,500. I mean, and now we have to take
a motion on that if if you know, in order for her to send that to the budget office, um you probably need I'm assuming the budget office would need more information, right? So, like what line item are you wanting to allocate this 5,500? what the additional money like where
would you want it distributed as a wisher? Okay, so essentially like right now we have the awareness campaign. So the awareness campaign would essentially for the new the new fiscal year I would say we have to have at least on there
$2,000. Okay. Then when it comes to the um the car show or let's say let's just call it an event bucket, I would allocate to the event bucket uh $2,500. Okay, that's
$4,500. And then for the [Music] um I guess the last one would be for any um what does DB Mat mean? education here.
Um like the magnets, things like that come out of that one item. So that would be $1,000. So that's the way I would break up the $5,500. And that's your new budget request. That's the request that we're making. So it's it's so it so so just so I can I can go ahead. That aware does
the aware fall into events. Community awareness. Um, right now that would be the line item that like car show amounts because you don't have a car show line item right now since the new. So you can use aware yes for events
depending on what it is. If it's um a flyer would be more educational materials if you're going to print signs and things like that versus community awareness if that makes sense. So, in that case, would it just make more sense to have it, and I don't know if I I I mean, I don't think the budget department will have an issue with this, but would it just make sense to put
everything like $4,500 in a wear and then put $1,000 towards uh educational material? You would most likely get an ask like that because you would have that line item already instead of creating an entirely new line item. So, that would be more rational, I think, as an ask for a wish, you know, instead of completely
making a new thing. Right. Would they ask specific breakdown under aare? Like since it's going to be so much money under aware, are they going to ask like for specifics? Not necessarily. This is an ask. Um, so I can't guarantee that you will get this funding, but I need to
have some type of rationale or what that, you know, ask is so I can put in the notes, right? That will be for Okay, let's do that. Well, it's it's only $200 for the banners. Well, I'm in that case. I'm not saying to get I I mean the
banner has any the banner, you know, I got I don't believe we have a tablecloth with writing. No, we used to put the banner. I know we had two banners. Yeah. A smaller one and a bigger one. Did I give you both of those or do I still
have them? Oh, you have them? I still have them then. So, we don't need banners on this, right? Because essentially here. Yeah. Essentially, what's happening is that we have we have to ramp up for the car show. So, ramping up for the car show, just to kind of
give you all some of the things I'm thinking about this. All right. We have $3,900 available. We have to ramp up for the car show. How do you ramp for the car show? You have magnets. Okay. We have a new logo for the sheriff's office. What does that mean? New challenge points. All right. We also
have things that we have to purchase for the car show like plaques. Like, not plaques, but like you know, awards, right? Then you'll have the uh sheriff and the fire safety fire department, I'm sorry. They get their annual recognition. The folks that rec get recognized in September. So those are all things that we need to ramp up, you
know, to eat up at that $3,900 that we those are things we have planned. We have an N1 event that is also before they get we're not giving any money back cuz we're definitely not a lot of things to do. So, in my opinion, the way I see this is if I go ahead and just say, "Okay, I'm going to throw $4,500 into my awareness, which that is just all
events, and put $1,000 for for um uh you know, educational material." Worst case scenario, I could we can make motions to move stuff around. Does that sound right? Um I would suggest at least for this fiscal year, if you are not going to use the breakfast line item, just do
one motion right now. So, all the funding is already reallocated because about that financial department is not going to keep reallocating every time you're going to use that line item. So just do it all. Does that make sense? I thought I did that last meeting and I guess I didn't. So yes% you all
dedicated 360 to aware it wasn't uh All right. So so in that case that we're going to make two motions as long as this committee agrees with it. Right. That's what I'm that's what I'm as a committee what we're requesting. We're a budget. So, we're saying an increase.
We're saying essentially we're going from 4,800 to 5,800. Do we want to say 5,800 instead of 5,500? I would say 58. It gives them more leeway. All right, let's do that. So, that's going to be your first motion from 4,800 to 58. Correct. Okay. So, now Well, that motion
is coupled with two with two things, right? So, we have we're going we're asking for a budget of $5,800. 4,800 goes to the awareness campaign and $1,000 goes to to educational material.
Okay. Okay. Hold on. Wait. I didn't catch that. You're saying would it but the finance department would have a problem with moving that in the future, right? Worst case scenario, if I have to move things to educational material, that's fine, right? Yeah. Worst case, if you have to reallocate, I'm just saying instead of doing multiple reallocations, they would prefer that you do absolutely
have it all administrative time. What are you doing with, if I may interrupt, what are you doing about because I'm trying to keep up here and I'm all over the place that educational materials educate. Wait, so Ednet, we've got six and you want to go to a,000. That's
correct. Okay, I'm going to save you $400. Leave it at six because I still have boxes of the different things we've ordered and just never used a whole bunch of. Yeah. So, if we can just leave
Edmmet alone, you can you want you want to increase it by an extra $400, you're saying? Yeah. That's $400 you could put somewhere else perhaps or if you want to leave it at 600 just so you get it. I don't
understand I don't understand the process. So I'm just letting you know that we don't need any of that. Well, technically we do when you think about it because when when you look at the you know for example look what happened this year. We can't move it
like he said. Is that what you're saying? Yeah. Yeah, but right now I'm already requesting it. Like, in other words, they have to make a change because this is a budget request. Okay, I see what you're saying. I mean, we can leave it at 600 if you guys want. I say it's a good buffer because you can always, like you said, we have to update
a lot of stuff. No, we have to update a lot of stuff. But again, we're talking about new fiscal year now, right? So, you guys want to leave at 600? That's fine. I don't have a problem with 600. We're going to have to allocate it because it's just a man spend $730. It's kind of silly to ask for 600. I'm just thinking asks of the thousand. No, no,
for sure the thousand. Okay, so now let's just do this for the record. Okay, we're asking now for budget fiscal year. Does anybody have any comments related to the 1500? Do you guys think it's too much? Do you think it's too little? So far, what I have the first part of the
motion were requesting budget from 4,800 to 5800. And there was a second part that you said I think it was the categories. Can you repeat that part again? Well, first let's talk about let's do this one at a time so that it's better and also for us it's
better to keep No, that's fine. I wasn't sure if it you had included it at the same with the same motion. Okay, fine. So, are we are we okay with 1500 something to Okay, let's go for 6,000 then. Yeah. Okay. The reason why you understand what I'm saying? Yeah.
Well, because if they decide uh too much, then we get 58 cuz we see 58. And they will do that. 56. And they will do that cuz that time I went up there, I went up there, I asked for a couple extra thousand. And because we were always the last in the amount that we were granted and I told them, I'm tired
of being last. Can you help us out a little bit? They didn't. They gave us the same amount we had the year before. Perfect. Okay. So, we have So, so here's where we have we have a motion on the on the table now. You want to make the motion or I do? I I'll make the motion. Fine. And I'll second it. Okay. So, we
or you make the motion also. I have you as making the motion. You can second it. Fine. So, we have CA making the motion and NR seconding it for $6,000 for Okay. That's that's going to be the 2526 fiscal year. Okay. And
that's for six grand. Now, with that motion, there's an allocation of $5,000 that goes through aware and there's $1,000 that goes to educational material. Okay. All in favor say I. Any against? Repeat that. I was just again
because I get catch up. So just the how you divide it up. 5,000 to aware. 5,000 to aware and $1,000 with educational material. Okay. Now that is the first motion. The second motion is for current fiscal year. For current fiscal year,
we're going to remove out of 3340. Okay, which is the breakfast police appreciation. Okay. We're going to move from there. Um, oh, that's why. Okay, we're going to
put um we're going to move to educational material. Uh, $1,500 from where? Okay, so we're going to move from the breakfast, right? $1,500 is going to go to educational material. All right. And then the
remaining 3340 minus um500 we're going to put 1840 into a wear. Okay. Uh before you keep doing the calculations right now for shirt uh when you did the the fixing of the design I
know this was like way back in December. Right now you're in the negative for the committee because there was no funds in that account. Oh, if that makes sense. That makes total sense. Okay. So, we need to make a Well, you all need to make a motion to make sure to cover that. Yeah, we can cover that. That's
play with the figures. Okay. So, yeah, I'm doing the math right now. Okay. So, shirt. Okay. Shirt. Okay. Excellent. Okay. So, here's what I got, guys. All right. Let make sure my math works. 1,500 plus
1740 plus 100 gives me 3340. Okay. So, here's the motion, Mr. Pñena. Sorry man. No, you're good. You're going to move from the breakfast. Your new amount is 3340. The full amount from breakfast is going to come out. Okay. 3340. We're going to put 1,500 in educational material. 1500 educational material in
the awareness campaign. Repeat that number again for 1500 in educational material. Okay. Then we're going to put 1740 in a wear 1740 1740 in a
$100 in shirt. Okay, the total of those three is 3340. Okay, that's my motion. Do I have a second? Okay, we have GR as a second, CA as the motion setter. All in favor say I. I. Any against? Give me the total
one more time. Okay, sir. We got uh 1,500 educational materials 1740 aware $100 shirt full amount is 3340. Okay, that's what's coming out of the breakfast, right? Got it. Okay. And it was who made
the motion? You and Yep. Okay. Perfect. Okay. The next thing is uh women's self-defense force. How did that how did the registration look? Did audio show up or I spoke to uh Bermudas last Thursday? They said that there was roughly about
20 people that had um signed up. So it was a really it was really good and it's it's uh going on as we speak. Okay. Right now. That's and that was Thursday. And he said that, you know, there was room for more. They had room for about when when you say it's going on now,
you're talking about it started. Did they get Yeah. It's it's all as we speak. Do you have a count on who showed up today? Yeah. No. No. See, that would help. I'm going to tell you why. Cuz I've been there, done that with Elderly
Affairs. Everybody signs up for the bingo and this and that and the other thing and they don't show up. Then there's another thing where they're going to go to the movies and they all sign up and it's all free and they don't show up. That's what's happening. So if that's happening with this event as
well, we have to keep that in the back of our minds because you're just going you're just not going to have the be the people attending. Luckily um last time it was so well attended that they had a email
um people telling them that it was already full and they had an email list of the pe of the the first people that they were going to advise. Um, okay. All right. Good. Good. Good news. In the future, we'll we'll work on it too as a, you know, because it will be really cool
to actually go out there as a committee, like maybe just talk to the residents will be great because we want to also hear what they're saying. Why are they there? Why do they feel like they need extra? What I would like to know is the age group that you're seeing there, you
know, just just I'd love to just go see it one night. Go see it tomorrow. Tomorrow. There you go. Tomorrow one of the hours tomorrow. I just want to see who showed up and how many showed up. Is it full? I say it's actually going on right now. And
and it's where Roberto. Okay. All right. So if you guys want to go visit. Okay. All right. I'll go scout. You're going to go. Okay. Good. Make sure you take a picture when you're there. Well, you know what I'm saying? It happens as
you're getting thrown. N take a picture from the group. Okay. So then we have So that's I know how to do that. If you want to visit guys, you know what? I want to see if I can visit. Okay, great. So that's great news. Awesome news. Okay, I need somebody's help. Who in this committee can be responsible for updating the P E PS E PS E PS E PS E PS
E PS E PS E PS E PS E PSC website of our initiatives and getting that information out because NAV wants our website updated. And I'm not saying you have to physically write code, but the whole idea is coming reading the website and saying, "Okay, what is on here? What do we need to add? Um, is it something that
we need to Can I Can someone be charged of that or can we come? Yes, I nominate George. No, I don't know anything about computers. No, I don't know. No, I'm not saying I'm just saying you going back and saying, "Hey, I saw this. Print it out." When you say website, do you mean your
web page on the town's website? Yeah. I got you're the ones who work on the website. So that's why but it's just for us to review it someone on this committee and say you know what like for example there's something on there that we haven't done in three years. Okay. Yeah. Then change if you want. Yeah.
Just like cross it out and saying okay this this idea works. But okay guys come on if you had help. We we all we all somebody I think we at least some we need to come up with ideas. Okay. So we can go on the website and come to next
meeting and say and literally print the website page and say okay guys I read this I let's remove this let's remove that okay because I do need your help guys you know let's let's get that website and this website idea is to explain what we do no just to make sure it's up to date with whatever needs to
be just read it well I don't even know what's on it now much less just go on the website go on the website you know go to town Miami lakes go to go to the committees public safety and I need your all help So we can come next week ideas. Okay. It is okay. Well, we can all do that because we're all we can all do
that because we all have different ideas. But let's go. Well, let's say that we all do it and then at the next meeting we all have some kind of input. That's what I'm looking for. You know, but but make it half mandatory that we all go vote. Absolutely. That's what I'm
going to need to vote. You know what I'm saying? If only two people do it, we didn't want it, right? Not to rush you, but we are already over time. Yeah, we need to. Okay, so then in that case, um, so since we're over time, okay, let's
make this very quick. Okay, we have golf course safety has been a concern, Mr. Pñena, that you brought up. Yeah, I kind of already mentioned it. Uh, I I saw the town council meeting clip that you sent me that it's not a rule. It's not a I forgot what it was that they need to
have on the books to be able to enforce the seat belt thing. I forgot what it was called. It's not a rule. It's not a law. It was something. I forget now what it was. But um I would love for us as a committee to go in front of town council and stress this for them not to drop the
ball and look into this seat belt issue making it mandatory in the town somehow. The thing is I I we spoke about in the cop we can't do anything about it. Okay. So then if we can't forget it then they're not they're not the problem is not the low speed vehicle. You know those golf cars that are converted into
low speed vehicles, those are with a tag, they're registered to the county. All of those have seat belts. The problem is the ones that are coming in and getting a sticker from the town. No one checks anything. It's a um
it's an annual animal like a permit, but it's uh it's um what do they call it? um they they market they like an affidav affidav affidavit but the ones with the seat belt can we do something as far as a town enforcing the seat belts that's
for a low speed vehicle and most of them are not they're all golf carts if I if I understand and the thing about it is the ones that are the ones that are the low speed vehicles that have a tag they they they have the the signal because they have to be checked through uh the
department of motor vehicles so that they can get the tag but how about the people they have the seat belts but the people are wearing it and we do something about that I've been at K through8 for a while now and I'll tell you that the ones that I I see that actually have a tag everybody's
wearing the seat because that's why I saw the lady with the baby the couple wasn't even wearing it themselves they have a seat belt they well then then they can be charged a ticket no but that's what I'm trying to find out because I'm not too sure on it's just that that stinker there's nothing we can I don't know if they have a tag because they backed into the property across the
street. So I can see there. Okay. So if there's nothing against what we got to see, sir. Well, I spoke to council Sanchez and that did one of the major concern. He said that they're going to they are looking into it and implementing it into the town. Mhm. A
law. Yes. Because right now we we don't have they cannot do anything about it. Correct. That's why there has to be something on the books first. So I don't know. I don't know if they used the word law in that clip that you sent me. It wasn't a law. This the major I think was talking about this
too. It was it was a different word that say if it's in our books then we can enforce it. But it's not a law. Here's here's what I suggest and I spoke to the major about this. He has a YouTube already that the town already has that he's talking about golf car safety. He doesn't go into any of the seat belts or anything like that. He talks about
sidewalks and he mentions a link where to go for safety. I suggest that for now let's get that on Instagram. It's not on Instagram. It's on YouTube. Let's get them to put it on Instagram and have the link that talks about golf car safety. So, at least we can do that. Yeah.
Something get the ball rolling somehow. Okay. And then we can talk about how we want to approach the the council collectively. The way I understood it, I'm actually very confused by what you just said because the way I understood it is the state overrides us. But the state pretty much says that there is no law. But I was thinking start something
here. Take it all the way up to the state level. He wanted that potent that he wanted to try to implement into the town. Yes, there was something that he said in the clip that you sent me and I don't remember the term. For now, let's do this. Let's do I make a motion to
let's get it get that same clip from YouTube and it You need a second. Second. Who second it? Okay. C A G R. Okay. Okay. So, the clip is put it on Instagram with the major
talking about golf car safety and with the clip to sorry with the link to the golf car safe. Okay. So, the YouTube clip is going to go now into Instagram. into Instagram. Okay. I have a motion. I have a second. All All in favor? I. Okay. All pass. Okay. The reimbursement
for the chamber lunch. I need to I just sent you the Isabella my receipt, right? For the You needed Yeah, I did that. I'll send that to you. That's no problem. Um, now the whole thing with the fire department guys, obviously they gave us really good ideas. We got to figure out how to put them into play.
Right now, when it comes to this, I'm going to say right now, unfortunately with time, we have to defer this. Okay, they came up with great ideas, but right now they took they were here obviously for some time and they really ran into meetings. They gave us very good fruit for labor. So now we got to just make sure to put that to work. I'm going to
defer that to next meeting and we can talk about ideas. Okay, next council meeting is June 17. Our next PSC meeting is June 24th. Okay. I make a motion to adjurnn at 8:55. Do I have other? Okay. CG. All in favor? I. All right. We're done, guys. Thank you for your time
today. Do I have to make a motion to adjourn? Yes. Okay. Thank you for your patience. Meetings still
