Thank you. >> Thank you for uh for allowing me to come in. >> It just so happens that this has happened to me multiple times, but it just so happened that happened to me today. I said I wanted to come and obviously speak about it because I'm sure that if you live here in Malaysia, you've been encountering
>> Julio. So I was driving down the road and there were three kids and electrical bikes. They took over the road. Mind you, at 4:30, as we all know, we live here in Lakes, but around anywhere between 4:00
and 6:00, the roads are busy, >> right? >> These kids were running rampid, right? They they come off of Main Street and they made a left turn there and while the cars are, you know, breaking, they're just running to the the stop sign. So I beat you guys don't have any
brake lights on those motorbikes and they're not motorbikes. They're those electrical >> bikes bikes >> and these things they look like motorcycle, >> right? >> Sorry. >> And I'm not a police officer, but I can tell you that if you're on the road, right, and you're riding these things on
the road, you should have at least brake lights, right? And the fact that So I I called out one of the kids and said, "Listen, man, you don't have any lights. You shouldn't be riding around like that on the road. Obviously flipped the finger and called me to me
to go to the ship. But bottom line comes down to I'm here because I'm addressing that >> just like, you know, it's happened to me multiple times already. It happened to me on the other side coming this way. You know, I was over in uh I think it
was at the Land America. I was coming off of Land America East. >> Right off of there. Three kids again. I don't know if they were the same kids who had similar bikes. >> You know, they just took over the road. And I see him going on the sidewalk, jumping on the street,
>> going off the sidewalk, jumping on the street or right behind going, "This is crazy, >> right?" >> You know, that we can allow these kids to do this kind of thing. First of all, I think it's completely wrong. I don't care if you're wearing a helmet. >> You need to have a bike and you need to have, if you're going to be on the road,
you should have, you know, all the road accessories that you need, right? And those kids need to understand that they need to abide by the rules of the road. Am I wrong? >> No, you're right. You're right. And and coincidentally, um, we had several neighbors in my neighborhood. I live on
on Dave Avenue, so I'm right next to the Miami Gateway Center on Miami Lakewood South. And we had some folks complain about the same thing. We did something last year. We did I mean it was just a you know summer safety tips you know and and what we were trying to tell people is you know to you know wear helmets
while they're riding bikes. Um and then the Miami Laker approached actually me and was talking about the same issue with ebike and they interviewed me and they even interviewed the town attorney and they said you know is there any ordinance in place right now with the
ebikes and the answer was no. Um, and I figured, and I don't know if it's happened. I mean, I have not been, unfortunately, I haven't been really closely uh listening to the state like what's happening right now with the the recessions. >> Uh, but my my hope was that there's
other things that are regulated that have ran through the state, right? Like dirt bikes and mopeds and and I would I would assume at some point they're going to have ebikes and what safety precautions need to be in place for that. I'm going to defer this to Deputy Amador. Have we heard anything that
there's any laws changing with ebikes? >> No, but it's definitely coming down the pipe because what's happening is they're looking at it as uh because of the mode of transport is it's not a power your your your legs powering anymore. So now
because now they can look at it like that, but as of right now they're they're just they're just trying to figure out how they're going to um ver the verbiage, right? what the verb is going to be because a if it's a if it's a bicycle if it has pedals even if it has the right
>> the uh motor >> because it has pedals so then that that that creates a problem. >> Yeah. >> You know what I and I'm sorry I'm sorry but let me I have one more word to say that my problem is listen if those kids were to die unfortunately right by their
mischiefs I understand it. >> Yeah. problem is that person, >> right? That person that's driving, they're trying to be careful and and then now they're caught up in a situation that they shouldn't be in to begin with, >> right? >> That's kind of like I felt today. I felt
like completely vulnerable to any other actions. I'm trying to keep my distance because I, you know, I'm looking at, but is everybody else doing the same thing? And and in today's world, I don't know about you, but I'm on the road all the time and everybody's always on the phone. They're they're driving like this. >> Yeah. you know, and I'm like, those
kids, you know, they're kids. >> Yeah. >> I just had a friend of mine, his son killed his girlfriend on an ATV, >> right? He's going to have vehicular homicide. >> Yeah. In his sense, an 18year-old,
you look at that and say that could be any one of our kids. I mean, obviously, my son's 21 year old at that point, but it could be anybody. and and just a person that okay so the kid died he was being crazy that's but imagine the person that was involved in that situation
>> you know two families go you know destroyed over something ridiculous and it's not only the ebikes because it happened to me with bikes on the way to Mickey's bakery taking the back roads right and I forget the name of the street I was on >> they on purpose block the road with
their bikes >> you know it was three of them across And you I mean I'm not going to try and get through cuz like you said, God forbid they make a turn at the last second and I hit him. Now I'm at fault. >> Yeah. So I always reported 3054 police, 305 sheriff, one of those two numbers. I
always reported and there's been situations I've reported one on 154. They literally there was like 15 of them. They blocked the whole 154. As you know, that's the main artery of our town and that was a huge issue and they came out right away. >> You know, Fairway Drive is a it's it's a it's a main artery. >> Yeah. fairway driver. I mean, everybody
takes that road all the time. >> Yeah. >> And you know, while people should be going at 25, 30 miles an hour, sometimes they're going 40 and 45, >> right? And and let me just say something. >> There's a big issue with the parents, >> right? Because they're kids. >> And I believe something that happened to
us for the culinary bike ride. There was a group of kids that came out and they were there and they were a little bit, you know, out of out of place. They were going, you know, a little bit off to where they shouldn't be going. >> Yeah. They want to use the they want to do the the >> the wheelie and they can't even control
it. >> They were addressed twice, guys. This is what it is. This is what you're supposed to do and this is what you're not. So, the talking was like if they were my kids, right? I myself and a few of us talking to them, right? They got in
line, no problems. You know who were the ones that were acting out? >> Parents, >> the adults. They got in line to what they were supposed to do and then it was everybody else. So then their complaints, no, I'm not going to talk to those kids anymore. They're fine. It's you guys, you know.
>> And you know what I felt like? I felt like an unfortunate I'm probably on video, but I felt like I needed to grab one of the kids, grab them, take them to the parents, slap the parent in the face >> because how do you like how does that how does that happen? >> And the parents want to see your side. >> You know what I mean? Well, they need to
see my side. >> They just need to feel my side. Right. But but but no honestly I'm not I'm trying not to I'm I'm here only because I'm addressing it. Not that it happened to me. It happened to me something ridiculous today. And I want to make sure that you know God is we doing something in this in this city of ours
which I've been here for I'm I'm 59. I've been here for like 40 years. >> I went to high school here, junior high here, elementary school here, and I'm back. >> Right. >> And I'm like, "Wow, you got to be kidding me. This is becoming a you know
>> a little bit of a disaster but hope that you guys can address it in your own way and that >> yeah you know in the near future we can say hey guys we have control of these kids >> you know >> because more kids coming >> right no one thing that I advise and I'm sure deputy am will agree with me is you got to call the non-emergency number when it happens
>> yeah I don't I don't really know what that number >> yeah and and I'll give it to you I feel so bad they have really good little but I'm going to text it to you right now so you can have it um it's uh Here, I'm going to give it to you on my phone so you can just write it down. Okay? Uh but the idea is that what I would suggest doing is call an unemergency
number. That's that's number one. Number two, if you feel dispassion about it, what I recommend doing is I I suggest you you uh speak about it in public comment and maybe as a committee guys, we need to maybe come together and maybe this is legislation. Maybe this is something that we need to lobby uh to get as an ordinance for the town, you
know, to make sure that we can enforce uh you know, what's currently going on in East Texas. It is becoming an issue and and and the grants are really upset about it. Listen, I'm going to get I'm going to get a golf cart, >> right? Well, you know, let's say let's face it, we're going to get a golf cart. I play golf all the time, >> right? >> I'm not even planning to be on the road
most of the time. I'm going to be in the golf course. But I look at I say, I understand, you know, the the the thing behind it. Hey, you know, I let you go by, you get around, you have to push. I understand all of that, >> right? >> And you know, especially kids, you know, that we wanted to give kids some of the freedom and so forth.
Man, if you cannot control your kid, your kid's not the one to ride back that bike. >> It It's hard going to Amador's point. And Amazon, please. >> Yes, >> I can wait. Um,
Officer Amador, if my 12year-old son gets in a car and drives down Fairway Drive and you stop him, he gets a ticket because he's underage. He doesn't have a license. Soon as these vehicles end up on the
roadways, wouldn't the police departments be allowed to round them up or whatever you got to do? grab them by the, you know, back of the shirt and write them a ticket even though they're under even though they're underage. And then of
course the parents have to deal with it. So it's a law enforcement issue because truthfully we really our committee we really can't do anything. We can maybe have signs or post things and do that type of stuff,
>> but you have the right as an officer to write them. But is it is it illegal? If you're blocking the road, they don't have a license. >> Once we get there, they're nothing, >> right? >> That's that's really the reality.
>> That's really the reality. >> They're not doing in front of me. >> No, no, no. I cannot see them. You know, there's a bunch of kids over there and then they're passing by me just fine on the sidewalk. No problem. >> Listen, you're you're 100% correct. They're not happening. It's not happening in front of you.
>> Excuse me. I'm driving on fairway and maybe I'm speeding, maybe I do something wrong, maybe I didn't signal or what whatever law enforcement violation I have committed.
You can come and stop me. So why I don't understand why you're having problems catching up with these kids. >> They're not seeing it. I have to see them doing it. I can't go by his word legally. I cannot go by. >> I know that part. I I must >> It's got to catch him in the eye. >> It has to catch you in the eye,
>> right? >> What about lights? >> There you are in a police car at night. >> No, no, but brake lights, you know, if you're riding around on the bike. >> No, no, no. legislation because unfortunately >> like motorcycles. >> Well, because unfortunately because they have pedals, it doesn't it doesn't come
as a as a as a vehic like like a motorcycle, >> but you can write them a ticket for being on a roadway because they really shouldn't be allowed on a roadway if they don't drive. They don't have lights. They don't have lights. >> They're violating. >> But they can be on the street.
>> Yeah. Bikes can be on the street. It's just reckless. The reckless were riding on the street, but they can't be on the streets the side of the >> So the next you would tell me videotape. >> Is that what you tell them? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Or call the police and just stay the number.
>> No, no, no. But I guess I guess you have to videotape it. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You know, I guess you have to videotape it. I mean, it's part about the only action that you have. >> And keep in mind, this is spring break. We do something health. >> Listen. So, listen. Listen. This has happened to me before. >> Yeah.
>> Bikes. And with bikes, hey, you know what? They're kids going to be summer, >> right? >> And I don't have as much of a problem with bikes as I do with this ebikes. This ebikes go, this thing go 30 miles an hour. >> Yeah. I don't know. They're fast. >> You know what I mean? And uh if you're
somebody on the road going at 30 miles an hour, I said, if you're pedaling, you're not going to pedal 30 miles an hour for 20 minutes. That ain't going to happen, buddy. You might pedal for like two minutes, three minutes. That's it, right? you know, because you're going to be kept beat up. These things are going and sometimes I get up early in the
morning to go play golf at 5 6 7:00 and I got to be on the lookout. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> For the Zoom lights. >> Yeah. One thing I think will probably agree with me. We also have kids coming from our city
from the north, I mean from the south which is Halia which I think our chair agrees and they're just pretty much doing the same thing. you know, instead of doing it higher le so we can take them to us. >> They're not off from the town. >> They're not. We know that. We know, but
you still have to have the rules in the town. >> And from NY's prospect, it happened to me once. I was at jealous. I called the non-emergency line. The deputy was coming from Main Street and he saw them. When he reached out to me, he's like, I
saw them, but he they were doing okay. >> Yeah. If you have an So, it's hard to catch them on the app. No, >> you got a video like that. >> Yeah. But I think we got to stay vigilant. You got to call them on emergency number. You got to report it. And look, we're dealing with similar issues with the golf carts. You know,
part of this agenda is talking about golf cart safety. >> Well, I'm glad I'm glad you're bringing it up because, >> you know, like I said, I've been playing golf for a long time and I've seen guys going a canal. >> Yeah. >> You know, they think that a golf cart is not a cart. >> Yeah. >> You know, they get drunk out there in the golf course and the golf course is
okay. You may not be on the road, >> but those guys are still going into canals and, you know, tearing apart golf courses and and golf parks. And I know because I seen it happen right in front of me, >> you know. So, yeah, it's something that needs to be addressed. I know that we're a golf course friendly city, right? I
understand that. >> But a lot of people don't know the rules and that's why we're we have to go PSA for it. >> Well, listen, thank you very much for having me. I wanted to make sure that I I came by and I expressed my opinion. Good to see you. >> I haven't seen you in a while. For those of you that I don't know, Julio Sardinas, I'm sure that I might have
seen you somewhere and I seen everybody here at some point. >> Yeah. >> Well, thank you for your time. >> No, no, no. Thank you. We'll be back. >> Thank you. >> And a Yes. >> Yes. >> with an here in the US. >> I'll give you an
okay. >> All right. So, um, any public comments online? >> No. >> Okay. Uh, Miami Fire Rescue, anything to report? No, I actually had a um No, I had a training with um for my guard rushing training that Captain Hall was there at
me and um he spoke a little bit and that you know I explained to him that the whole thing with the um with the open house obviously he's open to it but he only asks at the very least maybe just because of scheduling conflict and whatnot summer school and what you know
we maybe once a year is is kind of what he said a little bit more you Yeah, we could get other people involved, >> right? So, no, and and I don't know if I mentioned it last meeting or committee, but you know, when when I reached out to Captain Williams in the fire rescue,
who's in charge of uh education, which by any stretch, the only reason why we're having this conversation is to the DAR. We, you know, he's the one that made all the connections there. But she hits she actually was saying every two years. And I was telling her, hey, listen, I respect it. I understand it's a lot of work, but I think what's
appropriate right now is let's not even talk about it is in 2026. Let's talk about it in 2027. >> But, you know, once we start getting closer to January, February, we're going to start reaching out to her and talking to her. That way, the weather's nice and we can get it in January and February. I think once a year is realistic, a little
bit more realistic right now. Perfect. So, I appreciate all your and the stuff that I sent you guys. Just an idea now that I'm back in the field. I've actually ran into quite a few stations >> with murals >> with with murals and specific to graffiti. I mean, I don't know if that's
but since it's inside the station, it's a lot easier. It's less red tape at that point. It's just up to the station, >> right? So, um, small world would have it, I will be at 64 on Thursday and Sunday. Okay.
>> So, just covering for Captain Hall. >> Okay. So if you guys if anybody wants to come by and maybe that'd be at least to to see more or less where we would do it. >> Some coffee >> or coffee stop by whoever. >> I'm there for 24 hours
>> Thursday and Sunday I'll be on ship Thursday and Sunday. I think he's trying to tell us he wants us to swim by >> Yeah. Kill some on the way over. We're like bakery, you know. Chief Cologne will be there also. Yeah. So, you know,
>> support of our commit. >> What days are they? >> Thursday. >> This Thursday and Sunday, I'll be at 64. Okay. >> On the platform 24 hours. >> Yes, sir. >> Please do not call after midnight. >> That's when I was going to show.
>> Okay. So, I have some stats for you guys today. Um, so as of last week, we have zero homicides year to date, and that's zero for last year, the same. So, we're good. Uh, we had one robbery. Uh, year
to date, we're down by one. Auto thefts, uh, we're at 10. We're down by one. Burglary, commercials, we're at zero and zero zero last last year. Also, uh, residential, we have two. Um, and those
we're up by two. we had none by this time last year. So, we're good uh with the stats except for early residentials. Hopefully, those don't continue to go up. So, let's talk about that a little bit. When it comes to residential, are these
like is there a particular area? Is there a particular time? The thing about it is residential burglaries are always or most of the time the same. It's going to be uh midday.
somebody else at work. That's that's you know I don't have to go into those to tell you that that's what happened, >> right? >> Because even when people are out of town and you know it's in the afternoon or something, it doesn't happen. It's midday
um during that that those work times, you know, or you have people that that are driving around scoping out the houses. uh you know they're they're they act like they're uh working in the neighborhood and they now they're scoping out or they are working in the neighborhood because that's the other
problem and we see a lot with the roofers. >> Roofing uh company comes out and they're there for three days and then there's a residential burglary in the neighborhood, >> right? >> While it's it's definitely they're they're scoping out the houses. Um, and not to
say they're they're, you know, the only ones, right? But that's a a big one because a lot of people are coming to that house, >> right? >> To take to do the job. So there a lot of different people. >> Oh, they call a friend. Hey. >> Yeah. They're there all day and they're legit, right? You're there. Yeah. But
they're all day for three days. You you know what's going on then. Yeah. Now, there's been a lot of conversation um between uh regular council meetings um I guess online what's going on. They're really pushing hard for 305
chair, but 3054 police is still a thing because >> apparently it's not going anywhere. Uh because it's been around for so long that >> it's a number that >> it should not >> it should stay. >> Yeah, it should stick. And then if somebody uses the number and they don't get anything and something happens, the
definitely the lawsuits are going to come and they're going to win, >> right? Because it's a number that has been used for. >> Right. So we don't have to change like right now we have magnets. We have the PSA online on all the social media platforms. We can leave it at 305 for right. Right. Right. >> Okay. Right.
>> You guys can I'm sorry because you're not the sheriff's department. >> We have to rebrand everything. Everything. >> All right. we're going to leave it the way it is right now until we run out you know of you know magnets or whatever. Then the other thing is too is that is
that number legit that uh Councilman Garcia gave to Alejandro Sanchez Councilman last meeting that he he he you know said a name a number out loud about call this number you're going to get a faster response time. I don't know what that number is. Okay. Because
again, we're having this now on public record and people think that what he's saying is accurate and and and I just want to make sure fact check it as a town that what he's saying is accurate. >> If he gave that number to that council member, >> it's he said it on public and everybody heard it >> and that council member wants to use it
and the people take it. You know, that's that's what he did. He did that. He's he gave out a number. Now, I don't know what that number is. That number is not for us. >> Okay? I can tell you that. >> All right? I don't know what what the situation is. Um but again, he gave like you said, he gave it out on a public
forum. >> He's going to own it. >> He's going to own it. But that's number that number is no good for us. >> Okay. >> Our numbers are 305 police >> and 305 sheriff >> and 911. And it's not coming directly to us either to to the station,
>> right? And if there's a call for any type of service, it has to be to one of those numbers because everything has to be recorded on a recorded line that can be used later on for legal purposes. >> Understood. >> You call a station is for a report that
you have that you need to get a copy of and any other thing. But for for uh something has to be reported and done and dispatched, it has to be 305 police, >> right? >> Uh 305 sheriff or 911, >> right? >> There's nothing else. We we have because
even for the um excuse me even calling the station for somebody to go out to to do a report is not a good one either because the dispatch has certain questions that they need to ask and again for legal purposes has to go back to them. So we we that's and then what
happens is people will call station. We tell them listen um you need to be referred to you know it's an emergency. We're going to give you this number if it's an emergency and like it's something very fast that we okay what's what's going on. Perfect. Okay. I'll get you. I have some information right now,
but you need to call 911, right? Because if we can also get it ourselves, obviously it's is is good, but they still have to call 911 and then we'll start uh getting on uh our radios as the person is also contacting 911 because they still need to have all those questions answered and and and the whole
nine yards. It has to be on a recorded line. We don't have a recorded line. Got it. Now, uh part of that regular council meeting, uh Councilman Sanchez was saying that he was on hold for a long time. If anybody approaches any committee members related to the same concern, I'm going to give you the same answer that everybody that they gave me,
that the major gave me, Gonzo, and the lieutenant said last meeting. If it's an emergency, you hang up. You call 911. It's an emergency line. You're going to be on hold. If you call at a time that it's that it's busy, you're going to be on hold. So, that is just I just want to
reiterate that that does happen. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. So, >> and and if it's not an emergency and um you say, you know what, I'm going to hang up and call 911. The problem is now it's going to you're going to refer back to the non-emergency. So, you're off
queue. If you were going to be the next one, now you're number 10 again, >> right? So, it's not it's just better to stay on and and and actually, you know, get it through. And like I told the resident Julio, if there's an issue that you know you come across with a resident
and they're like, "Hey, I was on hold this and that blah blah blah blah blah." Video tape, pictures, evidence. That way that can be used later on. So again, we are the the best extension of the police department, the sheriff's office. So just stay in that. Okay.
>> Thank you, sir, for what you do. We appreciate you very much. Um Okay. So let's talk about um the PSC logo. I'm going to let our our our graphics designer lead this uh discussion. Johnny Forest. >> Wow. Nice. >> Oh, I mean I did a few with the car then
with this quick dive. I want this thing this. So those are the three options. I like this one the most. So I don't know what you guys want. It's those three. If you guys want to go to those, if you want to do any other
changes, we can do so also. But to be honest, uh, pretty much what we guys needed. It was ESC letters, public safety committee, Miami Lakes, something that tied up to the fire
department, something that tied up to the police department, the city. We are within regulations. They're they're not going to tell us no. We just need to see which one of those three you guys like
and then go from there. Yes. And so um All right. So for the for the record, you know, this this was done through um Johnny and then we've given it to uh the communications department. We're according to what we got back from
Clarisel, the communications director last meeting, we cannot use the town seals. That's why we're talking about this again. >> So, right now, this is strictly just as you can see, public safety committee, Miami Lakes. If you all if you guys want to go if if you all are in a very tough
decision, then we're going to have to do a roll call. We're going to have to go one by one and figure out who wants one, two, or three. >> All right. But if you guys see it doesn't have any violations or copyright, anything town related. I wanted to put something town related so
they can fight it through it, but the town said no. So that's why we like what we do. Correct. So if you want to what we can do is we can do this the uh the car show way. Not that it was really that efficient when
we were doing boats at the end of the day. >> Of course it was. Uh now >> yes. >> Yes, we can. Um all right. So what we're doing is uh everybody this is number one. >> This is number two
>> and this is number three. All right. >> Let me see which which is three. >> So three is I'm going in order of the order. >> Just let you know that I took on the bottom of the page. >> Yeah.
Oh, wait. But >> no, one's got a black background. That's why >> different. >> No, no, but this one is the same. The only thing it doesn't have the white number one I emailed you today. >> This one is
>> number four. Number four is this white page. >> On the white page. >> Okay. Okay. >> All right. >> So, number four is the same as number three. Only depends if it doesn't have that the same property. >> Okay. So now if I can just I mean you know Johnny maybe you can since you're
so intimately involved can you kind of explain to us what's the difference between one two three and four just to kind of give the group uh some context here. Well, if you see number one, it actually has the police start on the top
and then it has the the the fire on the the fire fighting cheer on the back and the public safety committee Miami Lake PSC. Uh he used to say public safety committee but he wanted Carlos wanted to
because everybody go by USC so that's why I did it that way. Uh then number two is pretty much well it was supposed to be this thing was supposed to be number two but we can put it as
number three and this one is has the ax for for the fire and then I chill for for the police and then the other one has it's the same thing but without
the ax for the fire. >> And then and then number four is >> number four is number three, but they took away the bottom part of the same >> and then the star also. >> There's like the star of >> the just a small
number. >> That is number four. Yes, ma'am. Oh, yeah. Well, the the star was removed from the from the incident. >> So, let me clarify. >> Four is on the white page. Yes. >> Three has got the the hatchets at the top, >> right?
Two and >> two has got the the star at the top. >> And one Okay, >> number. I like this one because it has everything that was >> requested a police car and the
firefighter >> the Mount East crossing >> and it says public safety committee says Miami legs but you guys can vote about how we got going. >> Now if you guys want to what might make the vote easier is we can cross one out one that people don't like at all. That
way we don't even consider you want to do >> that sounds too easy. >> That's process elimination maybe. Yes, ma'am. >> If number one is liked by the majority, the only thing I don't like about number one is the PSC in different colors. Make
it one color and leave it at that. >> Put it in blue. >> And I would consider >> number one. >> We can put it in blue. The reason I did the the >> That's the only reason why I don't like what? >> The only reason I did the red was because we wanted to do police and fire to kind of like
>> to But it can be all blue. Doesn't matter. Does anybody like number two? So I can just take it off. That one's gonna be taken. >> You like that's the one that I like. >> But I mean, if it's only one, you got to get rid of it. >> All right. So number two.
>> All right. So number two. >> Number two. Are we okay? We only have one vote for number two. >> Okay. All right. No. No. The state of which one. This is for when you >> can't switch. >> Which one? I I I got you. Okay. No, >> I'm trying to help out the group. I understand. >> Elimination. So, unfortunately, Mr.
Pñena is by himself on this one. Sorry, bud. >> That's okay. >> All right. So, number two is out. >> That's so number one. Yeah. >> Um I wouldn't say that. >> So, so we're stuck between one, three, and four. All right. Now, maybe maybe this might work,
Johnny. I don't know. Maybe I'm confusing the group. But if you were to I don't know. This is going to confuse things. Never mind. All righty. We were narrowing it things down so we were on the right track. >> Okay. Okay. Fine, fine, fine. So, I'll continue. It seems like one, there's
some people in this group that like number one. So, let's try to narrow down three and four. Does Okay. Who likes Who likes three? >> I'm going with one. >> Let's stay with one. >> Well, hold on a second. We're saying who likes. If you're saying one, you don't raise your hand. Who likes number three?
>> Cross that one out. >> All right. Frog that one out. >> All right. So, we're stuck with number one and four. >> No, no, no. I totally like number three because we're keeping it. >> Yeah, but there's only two of us. So, >> now we're pass elimination. Then then now we take a vote. >> So now we're down to one.
>> So now we're down to one. Now I think it's better for us to make a decision because now we're we're down to two. >> So man, >> Isabella's loving this. >> All right. So hear me out. If we can do the maltis cross, you see how you have the top? >> If we could finish. So it should be
basically this. These are correct. This should be on the bottom. And I re my suggestion is we eliminate the public safety committee because we have it here already. >> Okay. >> So basically complete the Maltese cross which encompasses fire the five point
sheriff star is perfect and just get rid of the public safety committee. >> And which one are you talking about >> that one? >> So if you could see see how he's got the mount cross here >> right? So basically have that down here also and get rid of since we have public
safety committee get rid of this this and I don't do that. >> I don't like the PSC in different colors. >> Well that can be fixed. We can fix that Nancy but I'm saying see how it's repetitive. You have public safety committee again. >> I agree with that. >> I actually agree with that. I agree with
that. >> And and and complete the Maltese cross basically and then >> Okay. So, so technically he's jumping. Technically, he's jumping a step, but let's take a vote on Okay, let's do this. Who is going for
number? I'm going to stop >> f first mention the Are we talking about all four right now? >> No, we eliminated. We eliminated which one? >> Three and four. We're down. >> We're down to one and so now we're taking a vote on these two and then we can talk about edits after. >> One and four.
>> One and four. one and that's what I was getting. >> So now uh we're going to do a roll call. Okay, this is Okay, again guys, one and four. All right, roll call. Nancy, what's your vote? >> One. >> One. >> George, >> one. >> Le one.
>> Johnny, >> one. Darwin, >> one. Jean, >> one. Carlos. >> And I'm 45. Okay. So, now we're down to one. This is how we do it with these things here. >> So, we got one.
>> All right. So, now we talk about edits. So, now to the point of what Darwin is saying now and and and let me make sure Mr. Johnny that this is I'm saying this correctly. Can we get rid of this? Like in other words, there seems to be multiple layers of things here. Can we
just have the cross? Yeah, we can do the cross and then we can do the >> So, so in that case then it would just be the cross and behind it we're not including these layers. >> Correct. >> Those layers go away. So it's just a cross in the background. Public safety
committee Miami Lakes and then Nancy >> D is going to be in blue, right? >> Yes. Nancy, you want it all on blue DSC. >> Well, we've got the S in red for the fire department. And I I don't want to leave them out, but um >> yeah, but in reality because we have
>> Yeah, they have Yeah, they have all the other blue PSC. >> That's the vote. >> And that blue, right? That blue that blue will be okay. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Because my issue is it looks like the 76 is lower. I don't >> So that's that's kind of where I'm okay
with flip. >> Are you guys okay with like that public safety committee in the Miami Lakes or you want? >> Yeah. >> M Lakes. Well, I put it like I put it like that because >> Miami usually falls on the bottom. >> The only change we're making with one is the S.
>> Do you want to add comma FL Miami Florida or no? >> No. >> No. Okay, cool. No problem. >> You guys want to keep the stars, the two stars, >> but you want that? >> No. Yeah, the stars are cool. >> Stars look really neat.
>> Comedia. So, so my understanding is the only change is changing that as to blue. >> You got point. >> Oh, no. We're finishing the mouth cross. That's what it looks like. >> So, if you notice, look at the members. Look at the bottom. All right. >> She got employed
for something. >> Yeah. Okay. So, we're talking about here's the edits. I'm saying them out loud. We're going to put the the lacrosse in the background. There is not going to be public safety in the back. Okay. Okay. It's just going to be the the You said Maltis Maltis Maltese cross
in the background. And then we're going to see PSC is going to be all in blue. >> Mhm. >> Okay. Are we leaving the red rim? That's fine with the red rim. Two gold stars is cool. >> Yeah. >> All right. That's it. So, the motion passes.
>> You have I'm getting rid of this, right? Public committee. >> So, all you're going to have is the Maltis cross on the background that you're not going to have no words in the Maltese cross at all. And then it's just going to say PSC, >> correct? >> All in blue. >> Mhm. >> And that's it. That's it. I mean, when you really think about it, it's Oh, I
don't have my lo, but it's it's actually kind of almost similar to what we have now, just a much cooler version. >> Okay. You made the motion. >> Um, well, technically, we all voted for it. So, how about this? Mr. Johnny Tor made the motion. >> Okay. >> And you're going to second it.
>> I'll second. >> And it's going to be with the corrections that we specified. >> That is correct. So we're approving option one with edits mentioned. Okay. So option one with edits
mentioned. Okay. And we can say to be a little more you you spell that maltise like the dog, right? >> Yeah. Maltis. M A L T S E. >> Malt. >> Yes.
with no PSC and PSC in blue font and that is JP seconded by CA. All in favor say I. >> I against >> mention the corrections again. Multis cross and what >> multis cross only in back with no PSC
and PSC in blue. The PSSE you could put in in parenthesis DSSE the acronyms of our committee. Okay, I think everybody is very happy with the new logo. We can move on. Okay,
is looking at me? So, let's talk about uh something that we have going on. He's like, what's going on? Um, all right. >> Who made Who made the motion? He did. >> Mr. John second. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right, guys. So let's talk about this
this back to natur this is this event has has morphed into something bigger than it was supposed to be and I don't know why I think I have that infamous uh uh you know reputation right so
what has happened with this event which I believe will be a very good one is that we now have several people involved that are um vendors okay so we have treourse which will be the vendor that essentially why we were afraid because
it was a public safety initiative for people to shred documents the proper way that could lead to you know like color crimes. When I was speaking to shred force he says hey man if you want this event to be successful you should have other vendors involved because I've done
this for other municipality and it worked out wonderfully. So reached out to a company named Scrap. ESCrap is a company that you can recycle batteries and appliances with um and some other things. Now
um he didn't stop there. He says, "Hey, you should get someone to donate clothing. Um I reached out to Goodwill and I have a new name for those. They're called Bad Will." Okay? They are absolutely horrendous to deal with. I couldn't get a hold of anybody.
And um I I I was quite disappointed because they are our go-to in the town and this town has has donated a lot. Um in fact, I just got a call back today, but at this point it's too late. So I already reached out to uh a few organiz and by the way Goodwill is not the only one. I reached out to some other ones
that were also impossibly including Camila's house. But I did reach out to one which coincidentally I got a postcard and they've been also they've been always great which is the Vietnam um the VBA is their acronym. I'm sure you've seen the trucks that go around
and pick up your furniture and they they they pretty much agreed to do it and they literally say in their postcard, "We need clothing." >> That's true. >> Okay. So, I reached out to them. They were super responsive. They're dealing with dispatch now in in Miami for this area to be part of this event. So,
with this event, the idea is it's going to be a Saturday, April 18th from 9 to noon. Uh the idea is that you're going to have um if you guys can visualize it, you have a metal walk or um I think it's yeah metal walk. You have the farmers
market that runs north to south and then the parking lot where Dr. Labrada is the dentist uh which is behind El Nov that parking lot along the street we're going to have parking spaces that are going to be uh open right I I don't know you know
didn't we talk about this funny enough I printed it for the other committee I didn't print it to my own committee the the remember the street drawing how it's going to go >> oh yeah >> that was my fault so what's happening is that we want people and we're going to need the committee members all right like Lewis or or maybe one of the guys
to have cars come in the cars are going to come in through the same ent the the the remember the entrance that we just had we had blocked for the car show. >> They're going to come in through theirs and they're going to drive through the parking lot, drop off their goods. We're going to have volunteers. We're going to have kids that help out. Um and then,
you know, we'll have people drop off their things and they exit by that same street where um Metal Walk is. people can park and go across the street if they want to shop at uh our our main street merchants or they want to uh uh shop at the uh the the farmers market.
But yeah, that's essentially the event. I even spoke to Miami date county. They've agreed Solid Waste has has agreed to come out in their mobile uh unit which gives out some freebies and talks about recycling. And the whole idea is that Oh, look. Thank you, Isabella. So, you see her screen right there. That's the whole idea. If you
kind of see it, I know it's kind of glare with the screen, but it has the entrance of people, how they drive in and how they leave. Okay. So, the whole idea is, listen, I don't know what the turnout's going to be for this. I have no clue. All right. The only thing is that the one thing that I want to talk
about is that the two vendors that are Shreports and East Scrap, um, one of they they said, "Look, so we're paying people overtime. Um, you know, can the town pay us $200, okay, for each, you know, uh, company?" Now, what I did is I
went up to the committee of neighborhood improvements, which technically we're partnering with for this event. Um, and I said, "Hey, listen guys, you know, can you can you assist, you know, because technically this is a joint, you know, venture." And their response was,
"Look, we have no money. We we're going to ask for it because essentially they're asking for $200 because, you know, the total cost is 400. They're asking for 200. So what I think is I mean as a committee, you know, I think that we take the motion for the 400 and
we and hopefully they they get their approval for the 200. I don't see how they will not and they'll pay us back. But what I want to make sure about before we take any motion, I want to talk about two things. I want to talk about response from this committee, what you all feel about this event. And then the other the other one is I want to
talk about uh the carry forward because there is money that we're supposed to be getting from the prior fiscal year that is supposed to come in now. Not sure if it's reflected in this budget. Um but um I want to first hear the committee's thoughts about this event. Um what your thoughts on it? >> Can you mention the two vendors again?
E-Force and what's the other one? >> ESCrap. ESCrap and and Shred Force. They're on the fly. So if you want to look at the bottom, they're they're there. So again, this is it's funny because when I went up to a neighbor like, "How is this public safety?" And I'm like, "Yeah, I know." It became a public safety thing and now it became more of a, you know, an event for, you
know, uh let's just call it, you know, Earth Day, you know, slash, you know, good opportunity for residents to recycle their their their clothes and and house goods. >> Is this going to be like the final flyer? Because you mentioned something about batteries, right? >> Yeah, the flyer needs to be expanded
more. Okay. There's too much words here, so we need to kind of like maybe like like put some bullet points. Yeah, because there's nothing with batteries on here. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like recycle batteries, you know, >> so people know what what's available. >> And maybe what's maybe what works is maybe we just make a motion for me to work with Isabella just so I can give
her some of the things that I I'm getting from the website from these different vendors. Um and uh you know, by all means, uh I want to I want to hear from the committee what what your your thoughts are. >> I have a question. >> Just natur. They they both I both have them committed.
>> They are both >> They are both committed. Yes. From 9 to 11. >> So it's and >> yes, it's two different two different companies. And Tread Force, if it sounds familiar, is because he was one of the sponsors for our car show. >> So what do you guys think? You hate the idea. You like the idea?
No, it's good. You said we have both. Say it again. >> Yes. >> We can have both. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, the whole idea is that you know it's funny because the way he did he said it to me. He's like we like for example I think he said village of Palmetto Bay
does like a a parking lot and they have even more stuff. They even have a company that recycles the liquids like oils and stuff like that. >> And I reached out to that company and that company was like, "Hey, listen. We got to charge you because it's it's heavy. Like the stuff is heavy. We got to carry it and this is like the minimum
we can charge." I'm like, "Look, not interested. We can't as it is. I didn't want to spend anything on this." all of a sudden I'm at which by the way technically like for example like a shred force he was saying that he charges any other municipality $1,200
minimum of four hours um you know sorry three hours at $400 an hour so he's giving us a huge deal because he's a he's he's a Miami Laker and he's a supporter of our commit obviously this is the second event we're working >> 400 an hour >> yeah because imagine they imagine I go
right now as a as an accountant and I have a box of financial statements that are, you know, client sensitive information. I paid 40 bucks for that box to shred. So, what are we thinking, boys and girls? You you like the idea. You're in the
school. You >> It's good. >> Well, I think two. It's great because you could >> Well, send three. There's one here. The one that's not here is a Vietnam post. The Vietnam are the ones going to accept all the clothing. >> Oh, the phone. Okay.
>> Yeah. You guys know what I'm talking about, right? About the Vietnam Organization. So, okay. I mean, technically speaking, has the town ever done this before? >> I don't think so. >> But since I've been here, definitely. >> Okay, cool.
>> On the Vietnam, it's just donating clothing. >> Yeah, they're the ones that >> anything they don't accept. >> Imagine that. They're they're the ones that have picked up when I have got a new bedroom set, they've even picked it up. I doubt people are going to show up that day with a bedroom set up behind their truck, but you never know. So, I
want to be careful because he even was telling me, can I put a trailer in there? And I said, "Buddy, I don't I don't want you guys to commit a trailer for something I have no idea how it's going to go." I say, "You just bring your truck that you normally see when you're driving down the road, and we'll have the volunteers collect clothing."
And did you make uh are you now in June Honor Society or No, >> she got paid. So, you will Okay. >> Now in April. >> In April. Okay. >> Because if you need community service hours, we've opened it up to the younger folks if you want to volunteer. So just
so you know. >> Yeah. >> There's a registration desk. There's going to be a registration or checked in or anything. >> I you're we're all going to be in that parking lot. All of us like helping people like getting stuff out of their car >> when they first get there and they want to know where they have to go and
whatever. >> Yeah. I mean I mean I I'm trying to make this simple and and hopefully it's >> Well, okay. I come I come with a bunch of stuff. >> Yeah. >> And and I want to know where's where's my location. Who do I come and ask? I can't go finding just you. >> No.
>> Unless you have a registration desk or someplace for them to chill. >> Yeah. Tenically speaking, we're all going to be that big who's on the ground, you know. So, yes. I don't I don't We can get you a a a table, a desk, whatever. Although the whole idea is I want to we got to make sure that as
as Isabella showed on our screen people are kind of flowing in. There's going to be people that are not flowing in that way for sure. And at that point it's going to be Darwin saying hey you got to go this way you got to come back around or George saying hey this or Jean trying to chase them but he's trying to chase everybody chase the guys in the lights and chase them to make sure they go out
the right way. So yes that's that. So there's no registration desk. There's going to be us members, >> committee members. >> Yeah. Getting >> asking people where to go. >> Exactly. >> Yeah. Okay. So now I think that's the
commentary I got. Now let's talk about budget over here. So I'm assuming this budget does not include the um the uh um what is it called? The car for is that? >> That hasn't happened yet. No. >> Okay. So, what I suggest we do,
committee, is that we just front the bill for the 400 and then hopefully, you know, uh, neighborhood improvements can pay us back the 200. If not, what we're going to do is, and this is what I told the neighborhood improvements committee, we have a joint venture with them. We're doing a public service announcement for
their new um, their life rings on all the links. And I said, "Guys, for whatever reason, if you all don't can't pay us back, that PSA that we agreed to, we agreed to it, I believe last meeting, they have to pay for the whole thing. So, they'll have to get sponsorship
because that was also a break up of $200 each person. So, at that point, the $200 they have to pick up the whole bill or if there is no money, then we don't do it, you know, at that point, you know. So, um, so in that case, then,
um, I make a motion for, uh, $200 to be paid to scrap and $200 to be paid through, um, through Shrek Force for a total of $400 for the event back to nature. Okay.
So, $200 scrap and $200 Tread Force. >> I second. >> All right. So, we have uh Carlos and then we have Nancy Rogers. All paper say I >> I guess >> none. Okay. Now, the other thing is um
to work on this flyer, what what we need to do here is just to kind of just bullet point some of the things from the websites so I can just work with you um Isabella on getting you that information that I have. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Perfect. All right. Now, let's talk about um let's talk about
relaunching your yard signs. Okay. So, here's the good news. We just approved the logo. That's the good news. Now, let's talk about other fields. Other good news is that we have now the the signing, if I
can find it on the human, we have it with a cow, a dog, a child, and a dog. A >> I mean, what happened to us the other day? There was what dust on the road? Yeah. >> Yeah. And the first thing that car lift
is dust. >> Telling you guys, so so the whole >> is it going to be yard sale? >> Yes. So here here's the thing. If you if the previous committee meeting, we already approved 150 for $982. The only thing that we were waiting for
was two things, three things. We were waiting for approval of a logo. We just did that. I was going to speak to the town planner, Susanna Alonso. She's pretty much given it our the blessings. And then the third thing was for the uh
Clarisel to our logo. I don't think any problem will come out of our logo. I don't see how our logo is actually that much different than what we have right now. It's just a little more modernized. So, what we need to do for the proper posture is to take a vote on this sign and then when they come in, I think what
we should do is as a committee, we should map out where to put them because I'm getting a lot of complaints and I'm sure Deputy Amador is getting a lot of complaints about Miami Lakeway south and north speeding your house. Getting a lot of complaints of people speeding um I
want to say through 154 Miami Drive speeding there. We have issues there. And then we have also too, I mean, don't forget, we got a lot of streets down there like 82nd. Uh, I don't know if you have a lot of speed in 82nd. 87 for sure. I know you got speed because
>> the majority of the complaints come from 87. 82. No, not so much. >> 87 87. >> Yeah. Let me ask you because I know that you brought up last time the golf cart page could not be in in that road. That's part of something and in all
honesty committee I've spent so much time with this back to nature that I haven't gone to the golf >> the other day almost took one of them because it was a car super speeding girl kind of crazy. >> Yeah. So do we have a motion on the
table? I make a do we have a motion to approve this sign or do we have any commentary? >> I have a question. >> Absolutely. There was something you just said you wanted to add or would have added to this. >> No, we're done. Unless people have
unless anybody has an issue here with >> Yeah, but didn't you just say there was something that you wish you had included? >> Um, no. No. I think I think we're good. >> I think he was just talking about the logo is going to be updated with how we just voted for it. >> Yeah.
>> Okay. Okay. That's that part. Before we vote on this, I have a question regarding signs as well. So, I feel like the two have to dovetail. >> Yes. >> Remember the drive like your kids live
here? Signs. There's a few left. there seem to be more stands than signs because a lot of times people from certain places deleting stands or again I want to dovetail this with
what we're voting on here but does the committee still wish to keep those signs or to let these signs take place of the others and then because we're at a point where we need
more if we're going to keep using the red and white signs. >> If we want to table it for another time, see how our money goes, whatever, we can do that, too. But I wanted to bring it up at this meeting that we do have some signs left over. Um, we can't be nailing
them to trees. They have to be used with the stands or people can put them in their windows if their window is facing, let's say, busy parking lot type thing. But it's something that I wanted to bring up and especially now because we
are talking about signs again. >> The whole idea is that these signs will be the complete replacement of the red sign. >> Okay. Great. >> Yes. And that's why. Great. >> And again, why? Because here >> the message is so clear. >> I don't need you to read. >> Well, you got your pictures here. Yeah.
Everything. >> Yeah. So, I'm not nuts about the cow. >> Yeah. The cow's the best one. So, um I I make a motion to approve the yard sign. Do I have a second? I >> second. Whoever >> I didn't hear. >> All right. Nancy Rogers. All in favor
say I. I. Any against? None. Okay. Very quickly, law enforcement awareness month. I do need to get together with uh the deputies uh to discuss. I know we have what I was told was that the the the chief did confirm,
but we need to um send that all over to the Miami Lakes Chamber so that we can start advertising that. I mean, we still got a month, we still got April, but we have to get that. Now, if we can please, Isabella, if we can have um some
confirmation with town if we can use any of the films seats on the table. Okay. >> Yeah. I last time we didn't, everybody decided to go. Um, you know, the other thing is too, I did run into somebody Amigore that knows you from uh uh from
your department that has the u the service dogs. >> Um, you know, I'm almost I'm almost hesitant to to ask for the service dogs for the chamber event. I almost think that I don't know if we wanted to throw a little twist to doing the service dogs
for the copy of a cop. I don't know. I just get more for the coffee or the cup >> because the chamber thing is more of a personal >> oral formal. >> Yeah, but the the the uh service dogs don't drink coffee. So,
>> so I don't know something that maybe you want to It was a female that I spoke to at the egg venture event for Senator Ray May Garcia. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. The dog was a huge hit, you know. So, I just thought it'd be kind of cool. I mean, we got to figure out, guys, if you know people that do homeschooling, let's let's send them the
invitation, you know, so we can get some of the homeschooling kids at the coffee with a coffee bag. the town has whenever they have the kids come out for a quick presentation here in the town, they're always um home tours because it's during
the day and the town sets that up. You know, they they get a presentation of the town facilities and and our section maybe the town can provide information for us or send them the information so that they know what's happening. But I don't think they're going to want to give you guys the their direct
information, but maybe the and we can send them something. But yeah, I know that >> we do it every year with a few different groups and it's it's quite a >> No, let's do it. >> Let's do it. >> Yeah. So, we'll have to we'll have to go ahead. And then the other one is to Darwin that I was approached by the ZA Club. Do you know who they are? >> Yes, sir.
>> So, uh they want they they approached me to be their guest speaker um for May. >> Okay. >> And I I thought it would be great to have two handsome gentlemen join me since I'm not that good-looking. you and Deputy Amador, you know, since you're the fire department and we'll have Deputy Amador
representing, you know, PD and anybody else that wants to show up, you know, just the whole idea is to, you know, get some words in, you know, from both of you guys. I think it'll be fun. So, I'll get you more information. I think it's like I forget what it is. Make something. It's the last Thursday. So,
just wanted to put that on your radar. Um so then oh and then so then Avador we need I guess submit the the ticket in for the you know or you want me to do it you know I know it's the cap cap at MDSO
I think it is the email for the service talks for the cop we just need to know where I can I can send the email >> oh that's right we need to talk about where to >> yeah where to and I'll send an email right after that >> all right so we got to make a decision my latest next week got okay
You're looking at the May Chamber of Commerce something. How many spots are you hopeing? >> We want the whole committee there. >> The entire >> Yeah, I think it's going to be I think the answer is be no. I just have a feel. >> Yeah, but we'll we'll figure it out. I'll mean technically I'm a board member now, so maybe I need to give Ray a hard time about us, you know, supporting the
committee. >> So, yeah. I apologize everybody. Can I ask to um for a quick question and vote perhaps reopen the slow down signs?
>> Okay, >> please. Okay. How many are we ordering? >> Right. >> I didn't hear anything about the the the the signs the holders are. >> Yeah. >> Where are the how where are these going?
We can't we're not allowed to nail them to trees. >> Yeah. So the whole idea is that we need them. We need production time, right? So we need to get them out. So we agreed last meeting for 150 for $982. That includes the sticks. And the whole idea
is would I love to get them and start putting them out there. Yes. But I think as a committee we should probably figure out what we want to put. All right. And I think we need to also work with NBSO and them to figure out where they think they should go because they're out there in the street all the time. >> So the $982 is for how many? 150
>> for 150. >> Yes. >> Cards were called signs with stands. >> Yes, ma'am. >> So, it it includes both 150 signs. >> The other the other signs >> with stands because >> put in all the pocket parts, right?
>> And if there's any left over, then we might be able to put them in other areas where we're allowed. But here's the thing. What's tricky about that, and that's why I wanted to make sure we talk about it, and we should start thinking about this as we're we're you know, this is in production. If you put them all in pocket parks, guess what's going to happen? We're all going to be looking
east side because we have a lot more pocket parks on the west side. So, you have to be able to say, "Okay, >> put the the more popular pocket parks." >> Yeah. Between both sides. >> Yeah. Like for example, I live on Dade and you have one right there in Pome. It's right there. Are they both main
streets? Yeah. But there's another pocket park on Willow Lane which is around >> interior >> that's you know so we gota figure out like and again I think we got to hit up the main streets man we gota put Miami lakeway we gota do Miami Drive >> and and the popular parks >> usually when I receive a complaint
directly um the people are very upfront and they don't care about it being known that they made the complaint but if I could receive some and have them so that I can offer that as something that listen the first we can do is I can go
by your place and I can put a sign uh in your yard, right, saying slow down and then we can go from there. >> I think the majority of people would say yes. >> You should definitely keep filming your truck >> for sure. >> You're talking about the signs still. It's still open.
>> Um >> we all agree Fairway Drive is more like Speedway Drive. It's all homeowners associations with walls. I don't see any place that you could put
these signs without and you can't just put them on the trees. >> No, no, you put on the swale town property. >> And we don't need to get permission with the town to put them on the swailes. >> I did just did it with the town. I went
to Alonso. >> All right. Well, you know, they're cutting grass and doing whatever they're doing there. I don't want them >> taking the signs down. >> No. And and listen, they do it. We will report it to Jeremy. >> If they do it, we'll report it to Jeremy. He's in charge of their contract.
>> Okay. >> All right. So, yeah. >> So, so they can go up on Fairway? >> Yes, sir. >> Um, in regards to lunch, >> Yes. >> Don't worry about me cuz I'm going to become a member. >> Oh, you're going to I'll be quick. >> No, that'll be it. >> Wait, you still have to pay lunch? >> Yeah. >> No, no, no.
>> Yeah. So, okay. Well, don't worry about that. I I've been reading about that. Okay. I've been reading about that. All right. >> And now you have to close. >> No, we're done. >> No, you have to close. We reopened. >> No, I didn't think about on it. >> Okay. >> Yeah, we just did it on Okay. Golf car
safety video. I got to I got to get on it. All right. So, I'm going to be getting on it and then I got to work with uh with the so we can start getting golf cart. I mean, Ghani is ready and the Miami golf cart community is ready. It's just a matter of us getting together. got to sit down, have a meeting. >> Yeah.
>> And exactly what it is that we're gonna talk about. >> Well, I told Ghani a lot of it is going to be visual effect because he needs to be able to show the viewer the streets that are nonconforming. 87 67 57, you know. So, all right. Cars
for Heroes 11:14 2026, guys. All right. That's a Saturday in November. We need to start having the conversation sooner than later. The whole idea is um we got to start having, you know, the
sponsorship forms generated. You know, who's going to sponsor and we're going to do it the same way as last year with the vendors. So, just as you guys are, I don't know, doing what you're doing, just give yourself a note on your phone. All right? And then figure it out some of the things you want to put together.
Would it be um wise to do a special call meeting or whatever we call those? >> Oh, yeah, for sure. >> But just that subcommittee meeting. That's what I'm asking. I guess >> at some point we have to get involved. >> You can't do it with one of our regular meetings. There's not enough time.
>> No, I know. >> So, you're going to have to have a >> probably during the summer starting June, we probably need to start having a subcommittee. So, yeah. Yeah, let's start doing that. Do we know if the veterans break when it's confirmed already? have a hold on
>> right now. We have it scheduled for the 8th. >> Okay, good. Perfect. >> So that's not even there. Um All right. So then that's that's uh that's good. It doesn't trip up with us. All right. Now, um something really quick before I go on to new business,
Isabella, when I when we talk about some of the bullet points for this, we're going to start marketing now, right? Because I know now it's not marketed yet. No, no, we just have it on the website with the volunteer link. Um, but not the flyer itself. We haven't advertised it yet. >> Okay. Uh, new business swimming lessons.
All right. We got to reach out to I got a confirmation that it is Miami account that that owns that pool on PSN. >> Okay. >> Right. So, we need to figure that out and get that on the books. >> So, what are we looking for? Because I can actually this week I can actually go
get more information. The whole idea is this. We want to be able to have an event where we're going to invite residence to what we know there's going to be an instructor there and it's a day tune lessons. >> Okay. >> Now, the key thing that what's tricky here is the following. When do you
finish school, Emily? >> Um, what do you >> what's your last date? >> Last day of school. >> Um, I think it's >> June 6, right? It's the first week of June. >> Yeah. So then we have to figure out if we do it after that
no one's in trouble. >> It's a good possibility every time we have vacation. >> Doesn't the Red Cross put on swimming lessons for free? >> No, there's a bunch of organizations for free. It's just a matter of us pushing and making it kind of >> so we can get people out, >> you know. So, it's just a matter of like
we got to start thinking like we have to technically make a decision by latest next meeting like when are we going to have it and how are we going to you know market it. I think it'll be very successful. >> The first weekend after school ends that week. I think schools end on Wednesday.
You could do it on a Saturday. >> The only concern I have is that everybody leaves. >> Uh maybe not right away. Yeah, >> maybe by the second weekend people start going, but I think the first weekend or do it the weekend before school ends. >> We put a hold.
>> Can't we do flyers or something? Put them >> as a school on a Saturday. So would that be May 30th? >> Yeah. Yeah, because I think the school the first week of June. So the weekend before,
>> do you guys think that the week after June 6 is going to be you're going to lose a lot of people to feel that? >> Well, let's do >> do it the weekend before then cuz >> what's the head count they should >> as many as possible. You know, listen safety committee is getting into all these new things.
>> The thing is I get that because if I go there and I tell them, hey, so we this is what we want to do. We want to have an instructor. And then they turn around be like, "Well, an instructor can actually do 10 swimmers at a time."
>> Well, think about it this way. How many how many people does uh Bermudas get for that self-defense class? >> He's filling up the class. >> Oh, no. The guy for the >> No, no, they're filling up the class. >> The one the one with the with the
ladies. >> Yeah, I think. >> No, they get a lot. >> 25, I think. Yeah. Like I would think that we're going to get similar turnout to what he gets. >> Okay. >> That's what I think. >> I think it's going to be like 25 30 kids. >> Okay. >> And it's true what he says. An instructor could only only do a certain
>> because I used to I used to teach swimming. >> Oh, cool. >> And and more than when you have more than five kids, it's a pain to get them all, you know, okay, buddies over here. And then one by one. So that's why we need to have like a head counselor. I can tell them, look,
>> we're shooting for this amount of people. And then they'll tell me, okay, in that case, we need this amount of instructors. >> There's kids. 30. 30 should be a good number. >> I would say tell them 30 kids. >> Okay. And look, I find the guy in the pool, too, and help out. >> You know, and you were an instructor even better. >> Yeah. >> I mean, this guy, we have a freaking
diver in the in the in the, you know, >> wear your little floaties. Floaties. >> You can't wear your speed. >> No. No. Nice case. >> Okay. So then so in that case then if we got a so do we does the committee want
to block May 30th? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> All right. Let's take a motion for that. Assuming lessons on 5:30 for that. >> All right. Seconded by Jean Rodriguez. All there say >> I time that you're thinking
>> PSM pool. PSM pool. I guess that's what it's called. Yeah. Yes. >> And it'll be a morning >> uh Saturday morning 9 >> 9 to 10 the votes >> 9 to 10 >> 9 to 11 >> hour 1 hour class. >> Yeah.
>> Who who made the motion and who second it? >> U me and seconded by Jesus. >> Okay. So then um so that's that's for that. Now, there is going to be a video at some point that we got to do with summer safety tips, but the same stuff
that we have going on with with these knuckleheads, with these ebikes, >> you know, um we gota we got to do something we did last year, as you all remember, it was a flyer that was put on the Miami Lakers. >> It generated maybe a little bit of buzz. I heard some things about it, but I
think a PSA will do a lot more buzz. So, we got to start thinking about that. I'm not too highly right now. No, I got we got to get golf cart one first and then I can talk about that one later on. But again, >> we got to reach the parents. The kids don't care. >> So, we got to do something where the
parents will see it and maybe they'll mention it to their kids. >> Instagram. That's where you're going to hear about. >> But we need to do that because on Sunday night there was a kid on the golf cart by my street and I don't know what they do with those golf cart nowadays, but
that kid was flying down that road and he lost control and he hit a park. uh van >> and the kid flipped over and he got hurt like they had to take him to the hospital. Uh but the kid if that that
golf car would have flipped he would have left the scene because he hit the car here and two houses down he lost control of the lift. >> So he was on the way to but then the kid was really hurt but it it was a kid. It was like 16 year old kid. It should not
be on the get off part at that time >> speeding down the road. So >> there was one on fairway with four young kids. I'd say [ __ ] younger. >> Yeah. >> Like younger than 12. Four of them on a golf cart on fairway riding up and down
the other day. >> Yeah. No, >> they're just running loose. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> They they don't know anything about traffic rules. They don't have to have a driver's license. parents aren't with them. There's no adult with them.
There's they're just out there like they stole the thing and we're riding. >> Yeah. Crazy. >> And they don't have information. Like the other day there was a guy in 87 and I open my window like you do know you cannot be in this one. He's like yes I can. I go like no get
>> they don't know. >> Get get educated. You cannot be in this one. This one is a Miami date street. So you cannot be in this. Oh boy. Oh, I'm going to make it from from 164 to 170. I'm like, well, you got to go through the neighborhood, but you cannot take 87. Yeah. Plain and simple.
>> Well, and that at that point, he's not a Miami. He's a Miami D. >> Right. >> It's a 170 outside of Miami. >> Well, you know, technically this guy belong to Miami Lakes 170. He's
>> No. No. Yeah. He's half 170. He's he's out of luck. Yeah, >> officer Alador, if I see this young group of kids, like I said, four of them on this golf cart on fairway,
none of them look old enough to have any kind of a license. The golf cart doesn't usually have it's not required to have a a license plate. Am I right? >> No. Here in the town, they a sticker. >> I didn't hear you. >> A sticker sticker. They're getting a sticker,
>> but not a license plate like on your >> like I have to have drive a cop. >> So, when I see this cart with four young kids like driving crazy up and down fairway, I should call an officer and have them
checked up before somebody is killed. >> Yeah. Because you all know those those driveways, >> they're not going to see those kids >> fast enough or whatever if they're riding as fast as my the one I saw. I got it. Okay.
>> All right. Or 21 is our next c uh our next uh regular council meeting. I got to make sure John can tell you after I finish something when I finish this meeting about that regular council meeting. I think it would like to come. And then we have our uh next PSC meeting on 428. I make a motion to adjourn at 8:19 p.m.
>> 12th 28 is two days after my birthday. So if you guys want to bring in something all in favor say I. >> What was the official time? >> Uh 8 8:19. >> 8:19. Thank you everybody.
