--------- Good evening. The time is 6:30. You're all lucky I don't have my gavvel today, but it should be a meeting where I don't have to really fight to maintain order. >> But it is 6 Oh, you got one. >> Well, perfect. So, I guess we'll pause one minute since everybody just wouldn't know who I am without the Gab Thor's
hammer. I love it. I love it. But the time is 6:30, so I will be calling the meeting to order. Thank you, Mr. Vice Mayor. >> Again, Madame Clerk, please call the role. >> Council member I'm sorry, Council Member Garcia, >> present.
>> Council member Sanchez, >> present. >> Council member Hzburg, >> via Zoom, >> who is participating via Zoom. Thank you, sir. Council member Cuadra Garcia
is absent. Council member JC Fernandez. >> He's trying >> He's trying to >> He's trying to connect remotely, but he's unable to. He's on a plane. >> Noted. Vice Mayor Mora >> present. >> And Mayor Diegas >> here. >> Mayor, you have quorum. >> Excellent. And everyone, please rise for
the invocation today, which will be led by somebody else's mic is on. There we go. Which uh today will be led by uh Councilman Garcia. We bow our heads. Heavenly Father, thank you for bringing us together today. Please grant this counseling wisdom,
clear minds, and discerning hearts as we discuss the needs of our community. Help us listen well to one another, work in unity, and make choices that serve the common good. Amen. >> Thank you. And please remain standing for the pledge, which will be led by
Vice Mayor Brian Mora. Thank you. Now, at this time, you may be seated. Council, we're now on the order of business. Are there any deferrals, additions, or deletions? Seeing none, or uh let me go to Councilman Hsburg. Uh you have nothing
in this section, sir. Uh section five. >> Nothing. I'm good. Okay, perfect. So, we are now on public comments. I do not see any uh public comments avail in chambers. There's no residents in front of me. Madam clerk, is are there any residents online?
>> I don't see any participant via Zoom. Please let the record reflect. No participants via Zoom. >> Okay. There being no residents in chambers or online to make public comments, I will go ahead and we will skip that section and go straight to 7A, uh, which is a resolution of the town
council. the town's proposed uh millage rate, roll back rate, and the date, time, and place for public hearings to consider the proposed millage rate and proposed budget. Mr. Peterman, we are going to you to go ahead and introduce the item. >> Yes, this is uh as directed by the town council, we have presented this item uh
leaving a flat millage rate uh meaning that it's not going to change from the current fiscal year and setting the uh other parameters like the dates of the u budget hearings in September. and we recommend approval. Mr. Mayor, would you like me to read it into the record?
>> I would like you to go ahead and read it into the record. >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. A resolution of the town council of the town of Miami Lakes, Florida, declaring as required by section 200.065 of Florida statutes, the town's proposed millage rate, roll back rate computed pursuant to 200.0651, Florida statutes, and the date, time,
and place at which public hearings will be held to consider the proposed millage rate and the proposed budget for fiscal year 2026 2027. Authorizing the town manager to change the budget hearing dates if needed. directing the town clerk to serve this resolution on Miami date county property appraiser and providing for an effective date.
>> Thank you very much. Uh with that yes I'm going back to Hold on. Somebody's mic is also on that is creating >> one thing that I just failed to uh mention is that to be clear this is not the final setting of the millillage. This is only setting the tentative millage rate which will be advertised on
the trim notices that get mailed ultimately during the budget hearings in September is when the council will set the final and adopted millage rate. >> Thank you very much. And I'm going to move the item. It's been seconded by the vice mayor. And the thoughts that I want to put on the record is that I generally
am supportive of starting from the flat rate when building out the budget. I think it's a a prudent fiscal exercise. Of course, as the manager mentioned, that does not mean that it is final. And as I've indicated to staff and to the manager and you know and and I've stated previously, I I will be looking to do
even if it's a minor cut this year, you know, you know, and figure it out from there. But for the meantime, it makes prudent sense just as to push this forward while we get a more thorough look at the budget and then we can make a decision um you know, from there. With that, uh any more discussion on this
particular item? U we'll go to the vice mayor who seconded the item and then Councilman Garcia and we'll uh Councilman Santis, you want to say something? then we'll go to you and then we'll we'll close with Councilman Hsburg. >> Thank you, Mayor. Um I want to number one echo your sentiments. Um I do think
it it is the right move to start here at the at the flat rate. Uh given that we after today we we cannot go above this number, but we can go below. We can still try to cut. But I also want to set very reasonable uh and realistic
expectations for our residents. And um the numbers they they don't really lie. We're we're talking about if we do nothing, if we set the budget today, which is not what we're doing, but if we did, we're talking about an increase of I lost it now on my page, but it was
like a dollar and change a month for the average resident um of increase. If we were to cut the budget uh to I believe it was roll back, we'd be looking at $3
a month of savings and a loss of about $600,000 in in income to in uh revenues. Um that's a lot of money that we would have to make up. That's a lot of work for $3 a month. Um that's a lot of work for less than half of a Netflix
subscription. Um, and so I I I just want to caution, you know, the residents that I it is a reality, right, that we are going to fight for every dollar. And I think all of us up here have campaigned on that. We're going to fight for every dollar, but but I just want to establish
a a very clear goal here that we are going to keep the flat rate and then we're going to go down, but we're also not going to starve our town dry and and avoid providing essential services that we have always promised to our residents. That's it.
>> Thank you, Councilman Garcia. >> Thank you, Mayor. Uh I want to echo what the vice mayor said. I think the process is here. Thank Thank you, Mr. Manager and staff. to me has gone a lot smoother and and information is flowing real well and I think we maybe it's because we're we're getting more practice at this and
you guys are are showing us the way to go. Um, no I I I do agree that the roll back rate to start with the roll back rate at because we can always go down right would be uh you know might be a little more difficult and I know none of my colleagues or most of my colleagues
are not uh you know in line with that that what I would like to propose and it's kind of like a hybrid instead of going to the roll back as a as a start starting line instead of the roll back consider higher than the roll back maybe
the flat rate of 25 which was 2.0732 0732 which would yes it would cut what about $300,000 uh from the maybe maybe the the budget director might might be able to but the old roll back the old flat rate or the rate that was in 25 as a starting
point just to show and I know what the vice mayor was saying it's not that much for each individual but I think it's a sign to the residents that although we understand they want services they also want us to try to do our best to try to find savings left and All right. And
this council has shown in last year's budget going line by line that we can find some savings. So I would propose a friendly amendment just to consider instead of going the the the roll back rate which I it's going to cut more than 600,000. Consider the old flat rate that
we were at in 25 before we raised it. that would yes we would have to find about three $400,000 about 300,000 I understand but it would put us in the posture of finding those cuts and I think that's what the residents are looking for in us now um instead of
going flat maybe going a little bit lower it's a I think it's a compromise I would I would do a friendly amendment if you guys would be open to it for discussion um just to see if that's something you'd like to start there if not I understand but I think it would be a good place to to go because it's not
it's not the roll back But it's putting us back to the flat rate where we were before and and we continue to exercise that muscle and last year we did real good job cutting. Maybe we can find those cuts. I not maybe I know we can find some cuts. So that's just my my my motion um at this time.
>> Is there a second? >> Seeing none, the amendment fails for lack of a second. We are back on the main motion. Uh, Councilman S uh Sanchez, >> you know, I'm in full support um of the of the flat rate just for the proverbial. I don't want us to shoot ourselves in the foot. We have two
months to go over the budgets, look at the special funds, everything else like that. And I want to make sure that we have at least a sufficient amount of funds with the flat rate that we're able to cut down from there instead of just going back to there and saying, "Oh, you know, we we're going to short change the town. Services are going to go down and
we're not going to have enough to cover and we won't be able to go back up." So we have two months to go through everything, make sure that the the eyes are dot dotted, the tees are crossed, and making sure that the priorities of this town like public safety, tree trimming, sidewalks, everything, our parks are maintained to the standard that is Miami Lakes. So I am in full
support of of the flat at this time. >> Thank you, Councilman Sanchez. We now go to Councilman Hsburg. >> Thank you, Mayor. And I just echo what everyone else said that it makes sense to work from here down. we like we did uh you know some would say we made a
mistake last year but I think it made us look at the budget even harder and I think we'll do a good job finding the cuts that we can uh work promise specific cuts uh and and also we have to start looking at the budget overall in case uh the amendment passes uh the mid
November so I I think we'll do a fine job just sticking to the flat that's that's where we should go >> thank you very much uh Councilman Hsburg um and just I guess to close this out uh And to address our colleagues point, Councilman Garcia, it again, I'm I'm cog
I actually would like to get there um you know to that prior millage rate which was the lowest that we ever had in town history. Obviously, last year was a particularly difficult year with the challenges that of what we had to pay, right? Like non-discretionary spending
that necessitated, you know, a what we did. And despite cutting almost a million dollars uh in last year's budget, we still had to make some difficult choices. But I think most of us on this day did make a promise to work at some point toward getting there that you know and that is where where my
comments stem from which is you know maybe a little bit this year maybe a little bit next year you know to try to get there um in a way that's responsible and and also uh again honors that commitment that we made that we would revisit going back to the prior um mill
rate but maybe not in one shot but maybe you know incrementally if we have to but we will have a better picture of what's more feasible once we get into the the the me the nitty-gritty of this process. With that, Madame Clerk, please call the role. >> Council member Garcia,
>> no. >> Council member Hburg, >> yes. >> Council member Sanchez, >> yes. >> Vice Mayor Mora, >> yes. >> And Mayor Diegas, >> yes. The motion passes. Item 7A,
approving the tentative military for fiscal year 2627 at 2.1577 mills, which is the flat rate. >> Thank you very much. I'm going to go to the vice mayor for a point of information. >> Yeah, Mr. Manager and Madam Budget
Director, is this the same one that we had at the last meeting? No, no changes, right? Thank you. >> Perfect. I just want to make sure that my notes from the other one carry. >> I don't know that may a substantial change. >> All right, that brings us to 7B bid waiver for Northwest 59th Avenue
Extension Project and Appraisal Services. Uh Mr. Manager, you want to present it or or do we have Mr. Santos around? >> Yeah, no, he's uh on vacation. This is a bid waiver and work order to Walter Duke and Partners. It's a appraisal company,
very well known that we've used in the past. We also already have used them on this project which is the main reason for the bid waiver that they are familiar already with the project. And what this is is to get appraisals of the properties um dealing with Caterpillar,
the school board and Miami date aviation. Um and it's uh it was in our plan and it's budgeted in our capital account for this project. >> All right. I will go ahead and move it. Is there a second? It's been seconded by Councilman Garcia. Discussion beginning
with Councilman Garcia. >> No, no, thank you. This is a next step. I appreciate it. >> Okay. Vice Mayor Moretta and then Councilman Sanchez. >> Thank you. Um, again, I I don't really have a strong opposition on this, but I I guess I'm just asking why are we
waving, you know, the um the bid process and not just going through it. the new procurement u charter that you I mean section that you adopted this year provides that for anything that is professional or legal uh can be uh bid waved. So that's why and also the fact
that we've already used Walter Duke they're familiar with the project. >> Thank you >> Councilman Sanchez. >> And I was going to ask the same question. Why are we bypassing the uh the procurement process and just automatically awarding it? But it was has been covered as and answered. Thank
you. Councilman Herszburg. >> Yeah. Quick question uh for the manager. Is one of the purposes for for efficiency? Because personally I see the mouth and it's it's very high for
appraisals, right? I I see I just wanted to understand why not going through the bid process. Is it a matter of timing? >> Well, part of it is timing. Part of it is the fact that Walter Duke is already familiar with this project and will it'll be easier for them to do it. Um,
but the the Yeah, that that's the main uh uh reason for it. The the price is a little uh high and I agree. You know, had it been $50,000 or less, I could have done it without bringing it to the council. But it's a little it's a little
over the $50,000 mark. But there are things that Walter Duke and not every appraiser, even commercial appraisers are familiar with the process that may be needed similar to the process that was needed for the warehouse that uh if
there's any uh legal uh issues down the road, they will already have all the eyes dotted and tees crossed and be ready for any court proceeding if needed. uh and there are specific things that have to happen in in some of those uh legal proceedings um for the
appraisal and they're very familiar and there is not a large pool of appraisers uh even commercial appraisals um that are familiar with that process through through the mayor if I can also address one other point uh this was the same appraiser that we used in the imminent
domain process for the warehouse >> okay so a little expensive now and hopefully that's all we have to do But if it got more expensive later, this it makes sense to use them. So, I understand. I'm I'm okay with moving it down. >> Thank you very much. Uh this being a
resolution, we can do a voice vote. So, with that, all those in favor say I. I. >> All oppose? No. >> Thank you, Council Hsburg. Uh the eyes have it, the motion carries. There being no further business, the special call meeting of the town council on for July
28th is adjourned at 6:46 p.m. Part: 2
Is >> that on this side? >> I think it's fine. >> I think so. >> Yeah, >> with the with the loose ends. Okay. >> Yeah, there's there's quite a bit here. I'll explain. >> Yeah. Sorry, I printed it out after. So, >> it's totally my you know, the same blame
I get at home. I get it here on the committee as well. >> Oh, no. [laughter] >> Being the only guy in the house. Oh, sorry. I'm I'm venting too much. Good evening. Uh Manny Lakes and the public safety committee. It's always >> always absolutely. Welcome to the
monthly public safety committee meeting. Um I call this meeting to order at 7:01. We are officially a minute late in Miami time. We're on time. Okay. Um before I call roll, can we confirm that Darwin Belman su captain is

You're going fast, but just give us the page. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, what we're doing is we're talking about additions for each of the
hurdles. So, I have two additions. Okay. Um, actually to help our um our secretary here, I'll make it easy. Um he's on four. >> Yeah.

>> hearing none. Okay. Wonderful. Okay. So, um Oh, and by the way, we have to uh Mr. Secretary, we have to note that I'm sorry. >> I don't think you can second your own motion. >> You motioned. >> You motioned. You motioned. I I never
really it. Yeah. Yeah. So, sorry. So, um I just want to make sure uh Mr. Secretary that we have Darling um remote >> do we have to note that for the >> Yes, we do for the minutes. Yes, >> that's what I thought. >> I was going to say that he removed
today. >> Okay. So, remote. >> Okay. Now, adoption of minutes. So um when it comes to the minutes and why this packet is so thick and and and my apologies committee
if you go into the she'll take this oh 623 okay so 623 has are these the ones I submitted I think what happened why this is >> gave me 623 and for which I think was
May 27 I didn't include May 27th >> right so what I think what happened here is that when I provide 623. I provided it in red line form so that I can I can present to the committee what was changed from the minutes that were provided previous. So I just want to make sure
that's more helpful. Let me >> those are the minutes from the previous right. >> Yeah. So what I So what I did there is just so everybody's aware um I provided
the minutes that were provided by our secretary and there was some changes to them. So what I did is I said okay let me just add the changes on here in red line so we can follow what changes I made but I think what happened
is that you accepted them. So now I can't see the red line but I what I just want to make sure is I just want to make sure that this version is the one that I sent you >> and I can and I can confirm that by looking at uh some of the language
that's on there. So give me one second guys. Okay. So yes, this is the version that I did seven. Okay. So what I'm suggesting the committee to do is that we accept these
uh minutes as presented. Okay. >> So I am now on page five. >> That's where I >> correct. Okay. So um if you all are um that's [clears throat] my motion. >> If you all need a minute to review them,
you can. And then we can uh ask for a second and take a vote. Now, as you review them, I'm probably interrupting your your meeting now. So, rude. Uh what I suggest is that going forward that the secretary get the exact agenda
that we have presented in front of us right now and then add to that any motions that were taken because the issue was that the minutes the way they were presented were only presented with motions taken. However, for the purpose
of transparency, we should have on there what we discuss for everything whether we take a motion or not. Okay. So, that's my my suggestion and I think Mr. Secretary, you're you're okay with that. >> Okay. So, that's my >> understanding correctly. You're making a
motion now >> to >> add to the written pages of the minutes from the last meeting. >> Correct. As that's why I'm saying as presented. >> Just go page number. >> Correct. So, my motion is to accept the
minutes of 623 as presented. I'll second it. >> Okay. So, we have uh Darwin a second. All in favor say I. I. >> I. >> Yes. None. Perfect. Now, the same thing occurred
and I don't see the attachment here, I think, but the same thing occurred. We There he is. We're waiting for you, sir. Okay. I don't see them there as well, but um I also sent an email. Um the minutes
from our main meeting I want to say were also um provided to our leaison with the red line changes so that she can have them for public record purposes. Okay. So that has also been provided to her with our changes which we need to go to
vote on our previous meeting. Okay. Now we're on to public comments and I would like to recognize um our director from communication that is here with us >> part's closing the door.
>> Yeah recognizing you for say [clears throat] anything. >> Oh um I just wanted to be here with Jayen Alv Alvareo. She's uh the new leaison um who's taking over Isa after her departure. Um Jayen actually started with us as an intern this summer and she
has integrated herself very well with um the uh the town um especially our department and um we interviewed and um out of those candidates she was selected and I'm so
happy that she accepted the position. I think she's going to be a great liaison um uh to your committee and and to the other committees that she's going to be handling. >> Awesome. What what other committees are you working with? >> I have you guys. I have neighborhood improvement. I have special needs
advisory board and veterans. >> Wow. So, you have some pretty busy committees. >> Okay. >> Just spell your first name again and what's your last name again? >> It's J A I L Y N. >> Okay. Your last name? >> It's Alvareo. I can spell it. >> I got it. Okay.

But, you know, >> but yes, we're excited to work with you. Um, and thank you for being here. >> Yeah. And she's taking whose position? >> Isabella.
>> Isabella. >> Yeah. Our previous slave. Yeah. So, um, want to recognize, uh, Deputy Amador. Thank you for being here, sir. >> Always hear nothing out of place. >> That is true. Doesn't matter day.
>> Well, that's where he's coming from. >> That is true. That is true. >> Yeah. Makes it look easy. Um, okay. Online, do we have anybody attending that might want to discuss anything public comment? Why is this video? >> Uh, no. The only um online is
>> Okay, perfect. Captain Dor. Okay. Uh, perfect segue. Um, to recognize our um uh you know, on behalf of Miami Fire Rescue, I'll go ahead and recognize Captain Senio. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, I'm here. Okay, sir. Any anything
to report here from station 6401? Anything fun going on? >> So, um yeah, we have our new initiative. Obviously, I shared that with you, Carlos, our our tear. Um obviously as we're um getting ready for back to school obviously um the next couple of
weeks um we have um typically what we do the fire department uh for the first couple of weeks we actually have um our units um at the particular school of the um basically the area that they cover.
So in this case, let's say station 64 will probably go to Bob Graham and um my lakes K through eight and then obviously station one will go to the um the I believe it's elementary school right there that's in territory. So we do that
for the first two weeks obviously to you know meet and greet obviously the you know the children obviously and just um these are initiatives obviously that we do um also um um public service announcements
obviously fire safety you know like I said as we're starting rev up now for the summer so um it's still hot so stuff like that um and these are again these are initiatives that pretty much we do every year But this is something that's going to be coming from our public
education um division. So through um Captain Alicia Williams, which we worked with her before for the um station for um event that we had last year, the um the open house. So we're getting ready to do that. And I like I said, I did share
that with our uh with our chair. >> Okay. Wonderful. >> And he's making reference to everybody is um there's an item on our agenda for summer safety tips. Uh we'll discuss that when we get there. Um and uh yeah. So all right. Thank you, Captain. All
right. So recognizing Deputy Avidor. >> Good afternoon, everyone. So because I was at the um council chambers meeting, I didn't think that I was going to be at this meeting. I thought that was going to be a 4hour meeting. So I I didn't
have uh my the stats. I don't have the stats. Um, but I know that like we're we're gonna talk about back to school stuff, but uh basically like um Captain was saying we have extra everything's extra what we talked about with the
school everything's extra. All the guys at the schools are going to be there longer and we're going to have more people at the schools too. All the traffic that we have to contend with. Um, but what we're, you know, we tell people is to be bear with us because every year the
first couple days there's a bunch of calls and it's the same thing. Oh, what's why is the traffic so bad? You know, why is the but they it's people that don't have kids that are in school anymore. So, they have [clears throat] no idea what's going on and and now because we're starting in the middle of
the week, it's hitting them like why, you know, I was here Wednesday and Wednesday was fine and why what happened on Thursday and what happened on Friday, right? So that's the biggest thing that that we see. But again, there's nothing that you can do. The parents are learning their their ways and >> it's going to be Thursday the
>> 13th. >> 13th, I believe. >> 13th. >> So they're they're learning their ways and we're trying to help them as much as we can, you know. >> Yeah. So, um, just so I know that I spoke to the major today about, um, well, you
know, through text message, there was an attempt, uh, to burglarize or to steal a vehicle. >> Um, and this was a vehicle that I guess they were trying to copy the f to get in. Um, I I it seems like this
individual um has was actually at a few places last night. He was at Kman Sanch's house. seems to be maybe the same guy, red hoodie. Um, and then he was at Lean Pine trying to steal a stop. He was unsuccessful,
you know. Um, but I guess, you know, for the benefit of his audience, you know, what is I know that in the past you've all had um you had the I think I want to say like unmarked vehicles where you guys park and station them at different locations to see if you can catch them in the act. Is that something that is
>> going on right now? >> Yes. Well, the summer initiative, that's part of the summer initiative. >> Okay. >> Um now with with those um attempts, it's going to be the also the locker lose it. We're going to have all the guys go out with the lock or lose it. So that just
having the guys out with the flyers is more h enhanced patrol in a way even though that's not the main reason for it. It's to it's for the people. Um but again because now we have these reports there's always going to be more units
being dispatched to those areas >> where the crimes are are occurring or or trying to occur. So I mean the good thing about these cases is that when they when they see that the town is you know the they figure the boundaries real quickly because they see the that
they're going to show up and and there's going to be act reaction a quick reaction. There's going to be units somewhere. or they might come back to the neighborhood. Let's say they go back to this house, but now they see, you know, there's so many units in the area. So, oh, this these areas, this is not a good idea. So, they're not going to
stop, but they're going to go either south into high or north into one incorporated, right? Because they're going to see so much uh movement and action here in the town, right? So, so there is part of the summer initiative is to be, you know, stationed in different neighborhoods and typically
historically in the summer the kids would try the cars and so everything all the burglaries everything would get hyped. >> Got it. >> So because of that historically that's that's what you do. You you enhance
patrol during the day because that's when the kids are not going out and and doing that. You know, normally it's in the afternoons, right? >> But now it's during the day because the kids are out of school. Got it. Even though that that all has died down significantly. No, the numbers are still
down. I mean, historically they are. Uh but it's good to know for people to know that, you know, you guys are, you know, planted yourselves in different areas and and the and also too something that the public doesn't know as much because we have uh you know, our own folks from
Miami's office. if they ever get broken into, don't wash off a car, call because you can run fingerprints, right? >> So, that's something that not a lot of cities or unincorporated Miami date county have that service and we have here in Miami Lakes. >> A lot of people make the mistake,
including my own mom that got her car broken into just drove off. She had an airport when you have to go to. So, yeah, can't miss that appointment, but okay, that's good to know. Um, all right. So that that takes care of um uh now just kind of running through the uh
the old business, the slow yard signs. Um I did speak to direct uh director Santos, Nancy. I know this was a hot topic last time and what director Santos told me is that those signs that are being picked up are because they are in the swale. He's
saying that the litter crew has been instructed not to pick up signs that are in the correct position, which is not in the SW. Okay. Now, the legislation was not put in this meeting July. It's going to go in in August. They're working on some some
fine tuning of the language so that they can now be um officially um you know allowed in My Lakes to have our slowdown signs in the SW. >> So, the signs are still going to be okay. It's just an ordinance with the town that's going to be tweaked.
>> Correct. And then they will be allowed to be put in the swirl. Okay. And and again, like I said in public comment to them, uh this is a great thing because like Council Ray Garcia said, this gives them the opportunity not just to put slow down signs, but any signs that they
vote on as a body will be able to put on the SWIP. Okay, that's my update for the slow down signs. Law enforcement awareness month. We did the ZA dinner presentation. They they loved it. You know, the group loved it. I spoke. that
spoke on behalf of NDSO. Uh so that um Captain Van spoke on behalf of Miami Fire Rescue. Um it was a full house. They were very appreciative of what we're doing for the community and just another avenue to get information from the public on how we can, you know,
become a safer even safer city. Uh so that's that. Um, now the golf cart public safety video, as you all know, that had to go to headquarters before we actually start shooting. Thanks to uh Mr. Good looking
over here, never out of place. We were able to push that and get it approved on July 17th. I have not scheduled it yet because I personally have been swamped. Um, but it looks like we might be able to get some time on the schedule for
next week. is the people in this room that are in that video is technically you, Johnny and Louis that you guys have like, you know, a little slot in that script that you're going to be part of that video. Are you guys like completely out of question during the week where
you cannot be part of it? And I'm going to tell you why. Because the command staff has to now be involved in this. Also, I believe headquarters wants to also be involved in this video. [clears throat] or what time is uh
I mean if we do it I'm assuming we'll do it I mean we're flexible it doesn't have to be first thing in the morning you know it can be in the afternoon the only concern we have is lighting you know with the video >> no I'll say one thing in the video >> on our part is ours our people aren't
you don't have to schedule it around our people our people are scheduling around whenever you guys need to do the video so you don't have to worry about our you guys schedule and then the people show up. >> Okay.
>> Yeah. Because that was one of the things I spoke to the guys from headquarters about and they said, "No, that you know it's your video. They're not going to impose times on you." >> Okay. Because when I spoke to the major about it, I was a little bit confused by that because I thought the command staff
had to also be involved from here guys. >> Physically at the video shoot. >> Yeah. Or if No, that was said that was sent to me. Yeah. I mean, I guess like you said, the issue is you have you obviously work, right?
>> I do. [laughter] I really didn't. >> You obviously work during the week. So, I guess >> it's not what I read on the bathroom wall. [laughter] >> Like it can be after 3:00, but you got to let me know. It cannot be like from today to tomorrow. Oh, we're doing it
tomorrow. Like if you give me a link, like, oh, it's going to be your first time. The day is Wednesday, next Tuesday I move stuff around and after 3:00 I'm available. >> But you know because you know I go sometimes it's busy and something comes up. But if
I already put myself around, I can do it. >> How much time do you need ahead of schedule to get that in a week? >> Yeah. Like like a let's say you're going to do it next week. You can tell me >> later than than Thursday, >> right? >> So that way I can move stuff around,
>> right? And I thought if they're gonna do it by on Wednesday, don't tell me on Tuesday. Oh, yeah. By the way, already doing it. >> Got Louis, same thing. >> Anytime. >> Anytime. Okay, perfect. All right, let me because again, there's so much people that are that we have to coordinate with this because you have the golf cart
people, you have you guys actually Darwin as well because we're using this golf cart. So, okay, let me um that's good to know because I wanted to make sure before I start, you know, getting the troops together for that. So, um, the thing is that I think next Friday is
the last Friday before school starts, right, John? >> Yeah. So, I think most people are going to probably not want to be shooting a video. Would it be better for you to do it when school starts again? >> Listen, as long as you give me a few days. >> Okay.
>> And if after 3:00, I can do it right. >> Okay. 3:00, I can just be like listening to something and I just leave. Okay, let me see then what's what's uh let me let me get together with a few folks may start a group chat and see how we can get all coordinated. Um okay, the next
item on here is uh Cars for Heroes. So for Cars for Heroes, um I think uh uh Captain to go on on on the fire side. I know you're going to be talking to them about the assets, right? >> Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. We're we're
going to have um pretty much same thing we had last year. Um I again I I I am trying and I for don't foresee any issues actually to do a um a fly over by um by air rescue at some
point during the um the national anthem. >> So [snorts] um that'll be, you know, but but tentatively, yes, we're good. As far as the assets that we had last year, no doubt, same thing. Um but this year I think it'd be nice to add like I said
you know just a fly over by um our air rescue north um units. >> So uh for the record I did speak to the Grams and the parking lot will be done. >> Okay. >> Because they are working on that now construction behind Lo
and then on on your end on MDSO uh Deputy Amadore how we looking on there uh for requests for assets. No, he must have been sent out and just waiting for all the responses and the sheriff was invited. >> The sheriff No, no, the sheriff has not
been invited. And I don't want to do we had talked about I want to go directly right that route. I want to go a different route, >> right? >> To see if we can um have her come out just a different way. >> Okay, cool. >> Yeah, we'll do that. And then at some point I guess we gota uh talk to Alex
and the PBA to see what you know if we want to get other I mean hi Aliyah I mean at some point we got to just start I'm gonna start just emailing people you know and just seeing you know different departments that I know want to be part of it. >> Yeah you know like Coral Gables who wants to be part of it. Um Halia Gardens
spoke to as well. Uh city of Halia um you know wants to be part of it. I mean the whole idea this year is we will have the entire parking lot all the way up to 67. Okay. So, we will technically you have three parking lots if you put it into sections. So, it's going to be a pretty
I think it'll be a pretty big show. What number are we shooting for of registered cars? Last year we put a 100. We made 100. So, um you know I can tell you to reach out to clubs. I
can tell you this much. I'll give you an idea what this Sunday because this Sunday >> No. Yeah. this Sunday reaching out to different car clubs too. >> Well, the whole idea is, >> you know, I I started Lam's car club. >> So, that community that we're getting
through that I'm getting through the cars and coffee will more than likely be the same community we get for Cars for Heroes. >> So, let's see how Sunday goes. >> Carlos, I I have a question. >> Are are we specifically um sticking with
just vehicles? Um I know there were talks earlier in the year I recall as as I I remember cartel baggers which is a motorcycle club they had inquired also um do we know I mean do you have a status on that or we just again specifically to vehicles because I
remember last year also golf carts became an issue >> just keep vehicles >> okay the motorcycle >> yeah we in the last meeting we actually spoke about that and and point out that motorcycle is kind of a different crowd Okay, I get it.
>> You know how it goes with motorcycle show. So, right. >> Okay. No, no, that's fine. Okay. >> No, the idea is for sure to leave uh vehicles and uh and and the golf carts the golf carted, >> you know. So, >> um >> so yeah, that's that's the idea that
that we want to do. So now um now the the main thing is I should probably have um we should probably start trying to figure out like what we're going to do with uh the vendors, you know, because
that takes a lot of time. I probably will need, you know, a few folks in the community to help me with that. Um I don't know if it's um we do it the same way we did last year or we talk I personally like working
street. >> So he's very at at you know things. So I guess we have to start bringing that up you know very soon. We should probably have a decision on that by next meeting. Next meeting already. So um now the one thing is just to point out for our
liaison here. So the the cars are heroes page for 2026 for whatever reason I don't see the purchase information like I don't see the um I put a link on the email so I don't Yeah. When you click on it I don't
see the car registration for $25 and all that other fun stuff. >> So like the amount and everything. >> Yeah. You know what? I'm gonna email and copy you and then see because what's happening is that there's two sites. So, we have
>> the 25. >> Yeah. The 2025. So, I want to say there's two there's two sites. There's Tanami Lakes and there's also the Eventbrite. >> Yeah. >> So, the Eventbrite, I think we should get rid of 25 and 26 one. Um, and just make sure that um, you know, it's it's
it's they're both in sync. >> Yeah. I'm pretty sure I had already let her know about that, but I've not checked. >> Okay, cool. So, that that's uh that's that. But yeah, I mean right now guys, I mean at some point we also too, you know, if you guys know people that might
want to sponsor, you know, um, call your friends up, you know, maybe somebody that has a car dealership or someone that has a business that will find it attractive, you know, maybe that sense for the cars or maybe that, like, for example, there's Miami Lakes companies that want
to be there. Start reaching out to them to make sure that they have the sponsorship information. I've already been asked by several people about the scholarship information. So, when you start, you know, getting that out there. Um, you know, the one thing that I don't know if there's if there's a fix to that
was a little bit clumpy last year was the fact that um and I'll I guess I'll address this with Clar is that we needed a um a hot spot for the charging. >> Mh. and and um I think the building department they don't I I know that's probably like a subscription so they
don't have one with its own signal but I don't know if they can contact their representative from whatever it is square and ask them like hey is there any way we can rent one for an event I don't know if that's an easy ask or I mean I can ask director Angel
>> we'll we'll ask >> um >> yeah yes sir and also last year one of the iss issues we had registering the cars the list the that the people >> if it could be alphabetical order.
>> Yeah. So that's so >> that was that that was actually pretty interesting because we had um the listing and it was like >> it wasn't alphabetical. So like if someone we were literally sitting there like >> we had to flip back like five pages coming in and everything stopped and you
go in and make sure um I don't know if maybe I mean listen I'll I'll bring I mean my iPad's old not that good but there's an iPad that can just click on it. I don't know if there's another option. >> Is it through Eventbrite? >> Yeah. >> And we're not able to scan the people in
like we do for food and wine. Well, these guys were registered beforehand. >> No, no. Yeah, that that that system of but the issue that we were having is if somebody will reserve within 24 hours, it didn't have that option because the
other one the other one we did scan and it was already in the process. Those are the one that when she asked me, oh, why? And I know because we scanning and then she Isabella check and she like, okay, the one that we scan, I see in it in the in the system the system. But those that we were looking for through the through
the paper was the one that they did within 24 hours that for whatever reason was not coming up. >> Yeah. But what she's saying is is a really cool system because it didn't get email. So at that point you just you present it right in the scans. >> Yeah. Yeah. It was showing us that but
when we were scanning that one it was not and they were telling us oh we did it today or we did it a few hours ago and it was not coming. >> But it still should work. No, because what you there's two different systems. You're talking about the way Eventbrite works. We didn't see it in the list that George had.
>> She's talking about it's it's a legit system. So, it comes they get an email the QR code and you know, no I get that right. You remember they were showing us that QR code and when we were scanning it, it was not coming up and then he was telling us, oh, I did it a few hours
ago. I did it yesterday. I did it last night. And then when I asking Isabella, she told me like, "Oh, no." For whatever reason, it doesn't come up in the list. >> They were on the list, >> but they No, no, they don't. They didn't come out in the list. And they had this the QR code
>> and the QR code was a legitimate QR code cuz >> No, and stuff. I don't I don't think that we that had that had a code. We did >> because if you if you check out through Eventbrite, you get a confirmation email
with your tickets. >> Yeah. >> And you're even you're even able you have the option to add it to your wallet to your >> Yeah. to the iPhone >> wallet. Right. So if >> you come with your iPhone wallet or a screenshot of the QR code or a print out
of the QR code and we on the on the front end can just scan that QR code. You're you should be able to check in. That's how we do my food. >> Yeah. When they were doing this the the scan that we scan it, it will tell us, but it was not on the list. >> Yeah. But you're saying
>> it wouldn't be on the list. >> It wouldn't be in the list. It's an actual QR. I don't remember QR code. >> Yes, we did. We have a lot of QR code. Then that's why Isabella was telling me, "Oh, but it's not on the list." I go, "I get that." But they had the QR code and when we scan it, it says and they gave
up the okay, but it was not on the list. And then she was telling me, "Oh, no." Because whoever did it in the last 24 hours, it would not it's not going to come out in the list. >> Right. Because she printed the list. >> Yeah. Correct. Cuz that's not >> okay. And you had your event and the time she printed and the time of your
event people purchased. Um >> so we were doing it through the scanners. Those are the one that I was telling you is not on the list, but they show us the QR code and we scan it. >> Yeah. I remember the list very clearly. What I don't remember is a QR code because I think the QR code at that
point is okay and then say you're done. That's what I would at that point. >> But that's how it was. >> But then they were telling me but it need to be in the list. I'm like but they have the confirmation with a QR code. So we just scan the QR code and that's it. >> Well, let's see. I'll do this really
quick if I can. >> Well, whatever list they print out, they could be in alphabetical order. But >> what you're saying what you're saying is the best. Yeah, that's the best paper. That's what you're saying. Yeah. >> Yeah. I I sent her >> It should be like that the QR code, scan
it, and go, >> but I can follow up on that. >> Yeah. So, you see, I was going to go ahead now and just purchase it to see, but it doesn't let me because the 2025 is still there. >> Yeah. >> So, let them fix it. I'll I'll work with staff to make to to to see what it is. But yes, the idea is the director's
point that it's fully >> digital. That way, it just scan and you're in. Does it work for food wine? Wonderful. >> I know it does. We have the sticker. Okay. Done. >> So, we just got to make sure because this this thing catches up pretty quick. So, let's make sure that we um
>> Yeah, we'll work on it this week or next week because today's >> Yeah. So, >> um for the point of sale and the event, right? >> So, I'm just making them right and point of sale. Okay. Now,
um the next item is Johnny's. So Johnny do you want to go ahead and talk about our meeting related to the message? [clears throat] Okay. So we have the meeting uh pretty much they tell us that we can go ahead and participate in the
program that they have but it's completely different as what we had in mind. But pretty much what we had in mind was they go to the pool and tell them this is what we want to do. Uh and they can go ahead and do
this program as a sponsor. Uh the only way they can do it this way is if it was the who's the person that can use it as a as a sponsorship, but then they need to go through that person. that's on something that
>> well there was there was two options you know that's if you don't go through the program then you can have a commissioner like our commissioner Renee Garcia uh sponsor the swimming lesson okay but just so everybody's clear this is for swimming lessons however >> the the other option is you go through
what uh you look at page eight there's an agreement and this agreement is um titled uh child care center program participation agreement zero every Okay. So, the idea is if you read the agreement, it's really geared towards a
school or a daycare, right? But in this case, it's the city. It's us Miami. So, the idea is that we would want to enter into this agreement with Miami Day County as the way it's referenced here. And the
way it's referenced here is a twoe program. The whole idea is that we would want as a committee to do some sort of advertising out to the community go through our intergovernmental to have schools also put this on their social
media share with kids in the school. That way kids can start signing up 27th. >> Okay. But what originally we wanted to do was do an event in our part so we can because
again most people can actually pay for for the swimming lesson but some some people cannot. So we wanted to give that opportunity to leave to have I think it was funny spot that we wanted to do so we can sponsor and then at that time they told us the only way to do it is go
through through the process that they donate and then go from there. they need to uh pretty much do the application. But if we do it that way, we need to provide transportation and it's not like okay just show up and
if they're good going to show up, we need to be there present or somebody from the community from the town need to be present in order to be there the whole time. So the best way to do it is for now is how we said like promoted. So
they can have the the parent can go and and not only your parents reach out to the school so they can go ahead and and sign up the kids. So for 2027 they can require it. Uh but pretty much they didn't at least I didn't receive an email saying if we can do it on a way
that they can wave that for us if we rent out because they said that we can also do the pool and then get the the classes and they can wave >> they they gave us several options and it was a little confusing but if you have the the the time and you know if the
committee is not you know wants to take a vote on it tonight we can or we can wait till next meeting. Um I personally meet I read the agreement and it's essentially entering into an arrangement between the town Miami and Miami J County. Uh and this is just the first step. Okay. After that there's an
orientation that they'll have with staff to see how we move forward. Um I think it's a great opportunity. They again they gave us all these other ideas. I just said I want to I me personally my vision and this was all this was born by by by Johnny is to go through this
program. It's two weeks. There'll be a reservation process where kids have to and their their legal guardian has to register that there's a listing that goes to Miami date. They make sure everything checks the box and then it'll be a week or two weeks, I'm sorry, it's 10 days, but we got to point
out that the the age limit is seven years old, remember to seven years old. And if we want to like expand that, they need to be like an exception to to the process. >> The the process the thing is yeah the
age limit um I forgot what the age limit was but I know that there's an exception for those with special needs. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Special needs is the biggest >> caveat here which is a very good caveat because we do have a special need community a quite large one here in my lakes. um you know and I know I'm sure
that the the special needs uh advisory board would love to to join us in this in this um in this juncture uh to make sure that we can you know get this to all uh residents. Um and you know personally like I said for me I I would
like to move forward on this. I want to move forward on this. I don't want this to be put in the back burner because it'll never get done. Um and if the committee again if you read the program description from the very beginning it says ZMD which is zero drowning Miami day provides the swimming
lesson at no cost to young children eligible children program participants are offered 30-minut swimming lessons over a consecutive 10-day period excluding weekends and holidays. These lessons are provided to cohorts of children with a one6 staffing ratio led to certified American Red Cross swim
instructors and offered a pool facilities owned and operated by the county municipalities and private entities here and after swim providers which is in our case will be PSA. All swimming lessons shall meet America Red guidelines and facilities shall meet the safety requirements for public uh swimming schools uh swim pools set forth
in accordance with local and state requirements. So when what complicated this this whole conversation was transportation and my take is there is no need to transport. Okay, it's right there. ESN is across our town line.
But they point out that if we're not doing the transportation, somebody either from the committee or from the town need to be there to get it all all the participant together and that person need to bring them in and then kind of stay there through the whole process.
It's not like I can just take my child and be like, oh yeah, I'm in the program and then just walk in, right? So, so what they're saying is somebody from the town, which would in that case would be parks and recre, you know, that department or someone from public safety
would have to go through the process of vetting through the town to make sure we meet those requirements, has to be there every day for those 10 days as a representative from the town of Miami. So, at that point, as we're getting ready for it, it would either be someone from park and wreck or it will be us and
we can alternate them. you know, it will be Kiki, you know, be Monday, I'll be Tuesday or whatever. >> If you don't use the transportation, can the parents be responsible for taking the kids? >> Yes. >> We don't need the transportation. We pointed that out and they told us that the transportation part is is not a make
it or break it as long as somebody from either the town or the committee there to to >> Yeah. The whole idea is Yeah. The whole idea is again they're trying to the reason if you if you read this pro read this contract it's geared towards schools. They really want to push the
schools to bring the kids in a in a bus to here and that's why the transportation aspect is built into it. >> There's no need for us to even entertain that. >> All right. that it is the parent if someone signs up for this they're responsible for taking their child to the pool and then again either someone
from the town or us represent the town at the pool. Yes ma'am. >> My question maybe there's something I'll miss. >> Yes. >> But if I'm a parent and I got a kid and I want my kid to have lessons, >> why do I need to get involved with the town? Because it's a town project,
>> but you're requiring a parent to be there. Parents are working. They can't be there. So it is it going to be an adult someone else if parents can't make it. There's a lot of ifs ands and >> let's close that gap. the reason the reason for this
>> that I'm hearing if I'm wrong correct me but I just see this being a lot more complicated because of the issue of um uh responsibility and insurance and lawyers
and whatever else I think we need to keep it as simple for us because we're all not lawyers >> right >> and to get lawyers involved in whatever it it it gets But Nancy, you got to understand this is a contract. This is what they This is what they do. If you
look up zero drone prevention program up the contract, >> there's a contract right here. They don't pay. >> It was drawn up by >> Miami. They counted >> counted. >> Again, we're working through staff on this. It's not just us going into this blindly. We have staff professionals. We
have attorneys that also review this. This will also go >> and our only responsibility is putting the two together. Well, this is a this is this is an initiative by us with the public safety commitment. So, the whole idea is for us to go ahead and vote on this and we want to do this other fire
approx,8. >> What is that? >> That's that's a >> I'm gonna have to excuse myself. I'm getting a call. Okay. >> Okay, brother. Thank you so much. >> All right. No, thank you. >> The whole idea, Nancy, is that they will have they've done this before many, many
times. you know, we so I want us protected, not worried about county. >> But Nancy, remember, we have staff, which includes our attorneys that review this contract and we make sure that everything is up to date. My issue is I
don't want this to be put in the background. As it is, we're already late. I would, you know, when we were talking about this as a committee, we were talking about this summer. >> Do we have anything at all drawn up? >> This is the contract right here. So, this is a contract. If you feel uncomfortable, we can you can review it and and vote on it next meeting. But
>> hey, Jade is a contract. >> Yes, ma'am. But the whole idea is in principle in principle. You don't have to be an attorney to read this. I'm not telling you have to read it word by word, but in principle, if we want to move forward with this, I I suggest me and I know Johnny feels the same way. This is his item. Then we move forward
on it. Start getting everything lined up because our attorneys will review this. How we'll execute it and then we can start getting this going for next year. It takes time to get everything ready to go. >> That's me. >> Because we're shooting for using doing
this for summer of 2027. >> Yes sir. >> It's not like it's going to happen from today to next month. We're already late because pretty much this is also spot. So once that gets completed, we need to wait and the best way to do it is plan
accordingly for next year. But right here is a program, no cost to the parent, take the kids for two weeks, the the necessary knowledge how to survive and they fall in the pool and they don't know how to swim. That's correct. Unfortunately, we live in Florida and
80% of the houses have pool, but then 90% of the kids out there do not know how to swim. So >> my my comfort level I think would be a little higher if you say to me Nancy this is the plan that we're going to go
through but on when Joe Blow comes with his kid and wants to sign up for this there's another sheath that protects the town and the committee and whatever that has instigated this whole thing >> you're getting ahead of yourself. No one know.
>> I I knew that >> because if there's not a follow-up thing protecting the committee and the town and whatever, >> I'm not for it because this is all great. That that that's a whole big to get the ball rolling so we can get all that information. >> That's all I'm asking for is yes or no
confirmation that there will be something in addition to this and some kind of an agreement where we are held not responsible for any. I'm sure the town will attorney as well be >> that just want
I guess I'm making myself clear. All I'm saying is I want on the record now that those are my feelings otherwise I'm not going to >> if if I can just verify you're not approving the contract. You're approving the project.
>> I understand. Right. So if the committee wants to move forward with the project then it will go to attorneys the council to vote on that >> and I will vote to move forward with the project if I feel comfortable that what
you're saying is the next step. I want that part on the record. >> Yeah. The next step, >> and I realize it's just another step, and it goes without saying, but not >> the next step would get our town attorneys involved so that they can
review the language in the contract. >> Maybe there's stipulations that they require need to be made to the contract. And then at that point then attorneys and attorneys can talk and at the end the council will approve that final
contract or the town manager however the town attorney recommends that we move forward with the project >> and thank you for putting that on the record. >> Yes, that's all I want. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Yeah. Because the whole idea is, you know, >> that there's a follow through that that I want it on the record that that is our
plan, not just having this and it's set by the wayside and everybody forgets >> a lot of times we have we have to remember that we're you know a policy directive committee. I want to say policy
>> process I just want right that that is our the rest of our plan. Okay, we brought it up, came up with an idea, now here's how we're going to handle it. >> Correct. Now, so now this is an idea about right now. >> This is a project, you know, and and how long ago did you
bring this up, Jo? This was before my time. Well, originally I brought this up five years ago and I got shut down because a kid drowned here in Miami Lakes. >> Mhm. And that time my represent the person that represented me pointed out
looked on it. I want you to bring it up because I brought it up to him that a kid drown here. Right. >> So, but when I brought it up five years ago, I was completely shut down. We don't have time for that and got deferred and never got put back on the
on the on the on the on the schedule. Okay. This summer it happened again. A kid almost dropped him, >> right? it was brought up to me again and hey they told me five years ago you told me that you were going to try to put it in and nothing happened. So that's why
this time around I want to put it in but I want to make it go all the way that get the opportunity but parents they don't have the flexibility or the money because everything you know we live in Miami Lakes but not everybody have the
the the the resources to just do a two week classes out of whatever paycheck whatever it may be. So this is something not cost to the to the parents that they can take those kids that do not know how to swim and the only excuse that they don't have it because they cannot afford it. So they can come in and at least for
two weeks learn the necessary step or how to survive if they go in the pool and they don't know how to swim. We reach out, they gave us this information and we want to put it into place so it can go into the com into the town so they can check and be like, "Okay, it
makes sense. We can follow through." Or Johnny doesn't make sense, so we need to go a different route. >> Which proves my point that it took you this long to get something you kept talking about [clears throat] for us to finally vote and do something. I don't want that happening again. Let's don't
repeat history. I want it on the record that there is a plan and this is how it's going to be done. That that's all I'm asking for. >> Yeah. This is what we put because it needs to be done. >> That's fine. So there will be a plan. >> Okay. This is literally the beginning.
>> Technically the second step with the first step was having a meeting with them. This is the second step. >> Johnny, you're making the motion. I second your motion. >> Okay. Um any more discussion before before we take a vote? >> Okay. All in favor say I. I any against? >> None. Okay, perfect. So, let the record
reflect that John Torres made the motion for his item born again after five years and we're moving in the right direction. Congratulations, sir. >> Thank you, All right. So, um safety tips. Um if you all see this, this is a
loose handout. Okay, that um Oh, I'm sorry. Wrong item. >> What page? >> Summer safety tips. I apologize. This is back to spring safety tips. Another tips, but not this. Summer City tips. I don't know if you all were able to see it at Miami Lakers. We we got it on the Miami Laker. Uh thank you again to the
Grams for supporting us on this initiative. So that was placed not this recent Laker, but the one before last. Okay. So that's >> the one that did the profile on Carlos. Yeah. >> No, that's actually this one. It was for
that one. So thank you. Okay. So um the next one is budget allocations. I believe the town um manager. Yes sir. >> Summer safety tips. What about it? >> Just we're just discussing. >> Okay. So I don't need to put anything.
>> Nothing. It was just advertising by makers. Want to tell everybody we're successful in that. >> Okay. Now budget allocations that was already done. I want to say it's very simple. We had a lot of money in one bucket. We're just moving it around. >> Yeah, it was approved. >> It was approved. Great. I don't know why I missed it when I was listening to me,
but it's okay. >> Yeah, I look back. It was approved. >> Great. Now, um, so that everybody knows, I did send an email last night to our budget officer about the earmark of the funds, the profits that we had from the fire card showing it forward to the new
car show. I know we are probably going to have an issue with that, but I provided the budget officer um because and the reason why we would have an issue with it is because it's not normal. It's not customary for that to happen, but we had a vote from the council and it was an
office. Okay. So, um or you know it was it was all you know all in order for it. Okay. So, >> you know going forward or that will we have that same this was a one time deal that >> this was a one time thing that I we don't have to worry about this same
situation next year. >> Okay. So, and thank you for their correction in English that um we are approved for the car show. That's done. But what I requested the council because or what we requested the council there was so much noise going on
and there's even more noise coming up. They just ordered on the millions tonight about budget budget budget and they told us hey listen you're going to stay at 2200 and that's it. Okay. We thought you know planned and said hey listen can we earmark that money for
next year in case we run into an issue with sponsorships getting on time and they said yes. However, that is not going to be offered to us every year. Now, [clears throat] let's just say and I think we have a really good product.
Cars for Heroes is an excellent product. We knock it out of the park. Guess what? We'll have money left over. And that money because it's raised by us does not go away. It does not reset like the general fund. That money continues to go.
>> All right. Okay. So, that's wanted to go ahead and state that for the record. >> Okay. running balance that >> listen let's just say we raise five let's just say we we break this year we make a profit of five grand and we donate $1,000 again to PDA and to the
resilience fund >> the difference stays there >> the difference stays there >> the town cannot but um >> well under what category >> hold on hold on there's an or there's an ordinance that states >> that if you have general fund money and
you have money you've raised we need to use our money the the money we raise goes out the door first >> and that's understandable because eventually what what they going to do and and that's something that we need to get ready for and then eventually >> hopefully God willing that car should
provide enough that at the end of the day they'll be like you guys don't need our budget and that's it. Yeah. >> And where would that money [clears throat] be listed? Like what category? >> No, it's money I don't know in the in the budget it would be listed as >> just to make sure it doesn't go away. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it could be carried over.
>> No, the it would technically be listed as uh >> under the car. >> I want to say it's under under contributions and and donations, right? >> I don't need >> No, I would say special event. >> Yeah, special event. >> Something else.
>> The way you had it, whatever, but don't hate >> could be immediately used to satisfy the opposition's argument. What was the first thing you said, John?
>> No, no. Yeah. The thing is eventually >> how it goes is if we raise $5,000 and the town give us $2,200, >> but then but the year after we need to use our $5,000 first, right? >> And then whatever is remaining for the
2,000 from them, we'll lose. >> Yeah. But I just want to make sure it's someplace that they can't create. >> We need to create Yeah, we need to create a category. >> Yeah.
>> To put to to move >> surplus cars money or something. >> These categories here, we create those and we move >> contributions. No, you need to be special title [clears throat] funds if you want to use that
>> like the new category >> for next year. It'll be for next >> I don't want that. I don't want that as it is. They'll get in the noodles. I just got a commentary in the parking lot about it. I just leave it the way it is right now, guys. >> Yeah. This will be like for next year or something.
>> Yeah. I think I want to say the money comes in. I'm confused. I have it on my laptop noted, but I always get confused a little bit when I look at this. Right now we have it as contribution and donation. >> I believe that's what >> um yeah but a donation is >> is one thing
>> correct? >> How does it differ from a contribution? That's my first question. >> That's >> how do the two differ? >> That's something that we need to look into because >> because of the regulation. >> What is considered a contribution and a
donation and how can they play with that? >> Yes. I don't >> why are they named two different things >> if if they got to have different backgrounds and um >> purposes? >> You follow what I'm saying? They're
called contributions and donations. What's the difference between >> Wait, wait, wait. >> How do we want our money to be classified as a contribution or a donation so that we get to keep it? >> They they know that pretty well and we
don't. [clears throat] So, >> no, but wait, there's a there's a line that says event public safety committee and there's where they with the putting all the money. >> Yeah. So, yeah, it can stay like that, right? >> That's part of that's part of your budget. Then, >> I'm looking thankfully I have notes here
in my in my uh in my folder here. The money we raised from the car show was $10,220 and that money is listed as contributions and donations. >> Exactly. So that's one item that >> that's that's one [laughter] item.
[clears throat] >> Okay. So yes. Yes ma'am. Enough children >> contributions and donations. It's like a bucket, right? Yeah. Other thing would be >> um >> leave it there. Leave it there. The
purpose of it is I I would assume the town budget office has it probably the same for everybody. >> Yeah, >> that you said the word. So the other thing would be a budget item. >> It is. It's >> But that's what I'm saying. You >> I think you have a problem with the
name. Is that what your problem is? >> I don't. I want to clarify the other people who are complaining and find out what the heck their problem is and fix it. They they they're complaining because there's been a lot of additional line items and transfers. Okay? Because I ain't got a call. >> Where are they making the separation?
So, we're not walking down that aisle again. >> Well, listen, at the end of the day, like I told the gentleman I just spoke to now. I, you know, I actually didn't get to speak to him, a reclassification is a reclassification. It is what it is. It's going to happen in budget, in
accounting. It happens. But what I'm saying is >> my recommendations and donations is one thing and a budget item is a separate item. >> As an account, I'm telling you right now, it is fine. We're out right now. Leave it as contributions. That's the money coming in. That's it.
>> That's what I'm saying. Contributions and donations is one thing and a budget item is something else. >> That's the that's the it >> the difference between the two. >> But think about it. What you're looking at right here is a budget. Okay? public
safety committee budget. So that's that's the item right there. $10,240. That's it. Leave it there. I don't think I don't I don't I don't I don't see it even changing. Okay. >> So when they say to us, uh, no, that's
this, not that. It's got to be changed, whatever. Um, what what's your what's your answer then? If it's not in writing and not part of of of a committee vote or title, >> there's no need for it because the accounting process of it is then >> you're already giving it to you now,
right? >> Giving you the issue is here is that you guys were having open dialogue and you guys were saying no. Possibly we need to have another line item, but I'm saying no. Leave it where it's at. >> No, no, no. Leave it. >> Wait, wait. The way it is is correct. Leave it.
>> Contributions and donations. >> Yeah. Because donation remember we we're getting from that money to donate. So that's >> No, we are in principle. Yes, you have money coming in and you're donating a piece of but the money that's donated
Johnny goes under grants and that's the $1,000. That's the money we donated to the PDA and to the resilience fun. >> Don't worry about it. The accounting I don't >> I again money coming in just call it contributions as long as the money is there. I don't >> Yes. As long as the money is there >> forget about it. They can call you. I'm
about money is there. I don't care. It's coming in and that's where it's parked. Let it park there in peace. Please. At the end of the day, >> I'm gonna keep it going. But I can keep it going. There's still a question in what you're voting on. >> Let it come up. We'll fight about it then. >> Oh, he is.
>> Oh, yeah. It will wide open right now. >> All right. So, let's let >> I be the one. >> All right. So, let's go ahead and uh Catherine, welcome back. >> Thank you. >> Okay. So, you came back just in time. So, guys, um, and and I want to say I
I'm sorry that we didn't get to talk about this before. Um, but our new editor was under a time crunch because he was not going to be available for the issue of the Miami Laker that's coming up before school. So, what what I did is
I got with Deputy Amadorf and Captain Mansencio on an article for the Miami, which is awesome. I love the idea. This is our new editor. Um, and I'm going to read to you, the article is here on your on your uh handout. Public safety
committee has discussed the importance of informing Miami Lakers of back to school safety tips. As silly as it sounds, texting and walking is a serious matter where a child in our very own town got hurt a few years ago by a truck. Inform your children to put down their phone and look where they are walking. Expect increased traffic in the
first two weeks, especially the first two days. Miami D Sheriff's Office community resource officer Amador stated additional units will be dispatched around our town with increased time at each school location to assist with traffic mitigation. DSC member and Miami date fire rescue MDFR representative
Captain Darl Valencio confirmed fire engines and rescue will be at our local schools to welcome students back the first two days. Captain stretch the MDFR stop, drop and roll with a twist initiative. Stop accelerating, drop your speed to 50 mph, and roll carefully
through the school zones. The Miami Day C uh school bus safety program will continue to be in effect. You required to stop when a school bus has its red lights and stop signs flashing. Follow your schools on social media for important updates and any changes to
drop off and dismissal procedures. Have children, follow the direction of our school crossing guards, and wear a helmet when riding a bike. Most importantly, take pictures and enjoy the moment with your children. Okay. Can we out there be patient to our
first respond? >> Well, and my response is, uh, sorry, it's been sent. That's my response. Um, but here's the thing, and I just thought about this as
I was writing this. Is there any way that we can put this into a PSA on social media for the Miami for Miami? Yeah, >> I have a question. >> Yes, ma'am. >> I was just thinking along the same lines. What if we made something up or
used this and presented it to the various schools that we deal with and have them send the kids home with any specific information that we would want passed on because then it's going right
home to the parents and where you're dropping your kid off and where your kids's going to meet you to be picked up and >> well the school bus >> waiting for the school bus stop playing out in the street. >> The school does that. Um they give instructions. Yeah, they give instructions to the kids and the parents
and how to prop out the kids. >> Do they they have anybody outside the schools? Well, it's been a while, huh? >> No. No. Yeah, the administration's out there sometimes guiding traffic the the >> guards will and then and then
I orientation. Yeah. When you do the meet and greet, they tell you, "Okay, this is a spot for drop off. This is the spot for pick up and they give you >> some kind of reminder to send home with parents who haven't made those." >> Nancy, it's very difficult for like the
public safety committee to get into the school for to you know, here you guys have all the red tape. They do their own >> Yeah. >> Yeah. You have to go through the superintendent and all that stuff. >> Yeah. Say that again.
>> No, I'm saying you probably have to go through the school board, the super superintendent, all that stuff. >> A lot of bureaucracy there. >> That would be something that if it would ever get approved, it'll get approved in two years from >> it'll be ready for the last day of school. >> So, if I if may I suggest something? How
how about can we put it on our social media on our on our on our, you know, on the um town's website as in as in us, the public safety committee? >> Yeah. How about this? Um yeah, if if the board is okay, >> uh we can take a motion for me to work
with Vidalis to put this as a as a PSA. >> And the whole idea is >> is it okay? Um I'm I'm actually asking both of the representatives here. It's okay that I can I can quote some of that stuff like hey, you know, I mean, I don't know if I have to quote you on the PSA, but just say we're going to have increased,
you know, like I like we like you said here. Um >> MDSO verified that. >> Yeah. Additional units will be dispatched around our town with increased time at each school location. I mean, I can >> Well, if it's not copyrighted, you shouldn't have that much of a problem. >> That same thing
>> the major. And I I think this will be a lot quicker. This is a lot easier to me to get approved like the video or something like that. >> Um, and then if the major feels that it needs to go to our media or anything like that, again, that's another email quickly. You know, I have a the contact
there, bring it back. that that shouldn't be and and I think maybe to keep this one easier. We will just we won't quote anybody. It won't be >> right. >> It won't it won't be Carlos. It won't be Darwin. It won't be Robert just coming straight from public safety committee, you know, >> and I can work with you know because
what I'm thinking is because there's so much language here. It's like a snip snip, >> right? >> Snip and then it's done, you know? So this flashes again [snorts] everything is 15 30 seconds at the latest at the most 30 seconds. >> Just just little bullets.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So um uh I make the motion to do a PSA for back to school safety. >> I second. >> Okay. We have Nancy who seconds that motion. And all in favor say I. >> I. >> I. Any [clears throat] against? None.
Okay. The next item. >> Let me keep you like what did I get myself into? >> No. Oh yeah. So >> um so the next item >> this is something um captain that maybe hopefully you have some some more
experience with. I don't know if if we even have time to do this now. Uh but I was approached by a retired chief able >> about the community emergency response team CRT training and certification. I think it's a great idea for the
hurricane season. >> Okay. >> My my only concern is, >> you know, and just let me just read this out loud for the committee. You know, I know you know what it means, but just just for the guys and the gals to know what it means. Community emergency response uh team program is a FEMA administered
nationally st standardized uh training curriculum that teaches residents and workplace res uh volunteers the basis of disaster preparness and response fire safety life uh search and rescue disaster medical operations team organization disaster psychology
locally. Courses are delivered by the Miami Day Fire Rescue CRT program, which runs a 20-hour course over three days at the fire rescue training facility in Dorado and at rotating sites countywide. Trainees who complete all sessions and the accompanying hands-on exercise
receive a CRT certificate and become eligible to serve as trained volunteers who can support first responders during the crucial or sorry, early hours of a disaster before professional resources can realign. We've had that here already. >> I was going to say we we had a we had a
a rep I believe correct guys correct me if I'm wrong. I'm going to say last year from and so then this was approached to our committee already. I don't I don't think we really voted or did anything with but I did I do recall having a a
member from C attend one of our meetings. I believe it was last year. >> Yeah, it was it was employee time. >> Okay. Yeah, it was either last year or the year before. >> Okay, correct. >> It's longer because it was before his time. I remember. And he came, he gave us all the information, but we didn't
move forward with it. We just defer and it just stayed right out. >> So, this is this must have been three years ago. >> Yeah. >> So, you you guys never actually went through the training? No, >> I I I don't recall us doing I mean I think it was more of he came by and spoke about the program. Um and that's
about it and and it pretty much stopped there. Um I mean it's it's it's good. It's it's mostly geared towards civilians and yes and basically under the premises that during the natural disaster obviously first responders we would you know adhere to you know
basically calls where cert members would basically um they would assist us basically for you know nothing emergent per se and then they would we would obviously respond to you know 911 calls and whatnot. So, they do have its basic
training. You know, I know they're first responders, they train them in first aid, CPR, basic disaster management, stuff like that. Um, from previous disasters, unfortunately, that I've had work a lot of times, um, local municipalities will use them at shelters, you know, stuff like that. So,
yeah, definitely. I mean, it it's it's it's a good asset to have. Um, I think this would be something that we could potentially look at and see who would want to become a and and basically have them. it would be through us basically I
guess as as a committee where I guess we would offer the training through them type of thing but yeah it is it is it is FEMA it is federal and yes Miami day county we we do have a team that actually goes out there and trains >> and your in your opinion do you think
it's something that we need here in Miami Lakes >> honestly I I I don't I don't think so I don't the times I've I mean I was at station one for 10 years and the few hurricanes we had um I don't think we're
conducive to this. I mean this is more for bigger bigger cities. I remember you know we're obviously at at you know there's shelters set up that that members of cert would would basically man those shelters along with United you know um American Red Cross you know
stuff like that. Um I mean we could try what's the worst that could happen? Open it up. see if who whoever's interested in in getting certified and and I guess take it from there. >> I think that's why it went nowhere because there was no interest. >> Correct. Yeah. >> There wasn't a lot of interest or any
from the community. >> No, the well the whole idea of the SER is it would be us. >> So it would be the people on this committee that would get the the certification and then >> handin glove with Miami Day Fire Rescue in case of an emergency that we can help
out our immediate neighbors. >> Right. where Miami Fire Rescue can get there, I guess, or is that an emergency or whatnot? >> But I think it's also open. I think we try to open it also to citizens and people's interest here and the citizens are not going to go for it. It's really
us. It's really us. >> Okay. >> We wanted to to remember what happened. >> Those were brought up by your dad. He was the one that wanted to do this program. >> And in the process of the whole thing, he stopped coming in because he he left. And that's when you came in and in the
middle of he leaving the committee and you coming in it just went nowhere. We didn't follow up. We didn't but your dad was really really want to do it. I think he was certified for that once and he that's the reason he brought it in and we were really like I was I wanted to do
it and I think a few of us wanted to do it but then it was the situation that he left and you came in and it just stayed and we didn't proceed to go. Okay, let's continue doing this. It just got into the into the back and we didn't revise
it again and try to put it forward. >> Okay. >> So, I I let me ask you something. Is this something that the committee would be opposed to how about that in the case getting all of us certified then? >> No, I think I I think I mean the way that Ael um Chief Fernandez approached
me about it, you know, was the committee. >> I thought it was a pretty good idea. My only my concern and I'll tell you the same thing I told him. I said I just don't know where it fits in right now because right now we have so much going on with there's a lot going on right now
um that I don't know how to fit it in. That's my concern. >> And in all honesty, I seriously doubt that these guys could probably remember we're I mean let's let's not negate the fact we're about to literally hurricane season. >> We are. >> So that's something that I I can't see
them going out there. If anything, I I would I would defer and possibly maybe reassess this maybe earlier in the year would probably be the best time than than than now. Again, just the mere fact we're we are we are in hurricane season, you know. So,
>> there's a whole deputy. >> Yeah. One question I would have maybe captain can can advise. So let's say the guys here get certified because right now as a committee if something happens the committee members you know
everybody's working hand in hand guys come in listen you know yeah you can help with this like like an event and it's very open very um um and at the same time very closed in within the with the town of Miami but let's say everybody gets certified in this and
then something happens there's a a disaster and they get like activated right? >> Would this uh you know um you want to come here and do and help out at Goldman but now they ask you through this oh you know can you help out in Dorado with
then that >> take you now away from the town because now kind of um in indebted or or >> there's some form of contract that you came in with with this >> territory protected. I mean that's that's something that I guess that would
have to be reval obviously you and I that unfortunately not that we wouldn't want to help out obviously I'm assuming you got you get activated so do I and yeah we're unfortunately we're not we're going to be working but this would be more I mean typically they they try
again they they they try a lot of it let's say um I remember one in particular that it was um uh color bay so I know I believe they're incorporated and So they would take basically people from their you know that had been
certified and and it was mostly to man a lot some of the shelters you like some of the schools you know um like admit stuff um they weren't really going out there to per se to do to cut trees down and you know do the the heavy work if you will that was more so for us so um
yeah I mean that's something that I think that definitely needs to be looked at that if that were to be the case that and there's plenty of places that Dad Mommy Lakes and obviously you know the Cert team could help out definitely but that's again that's something yeah
that's that's that's a weird one because technically you're certified by by by C and you're you're you're a volunteer so it's like hey I can only volunteer for Miami Lakes so um yeah [clears throat] it's definitely something that you'd
have to look at. Yeah, I mean look, so that you all know and the public record also shows, I have a great great plan for next hurricane season. I I think I spoke to somebody from the Coast Guard station that uh does training for
hurricane preparedness. I believe someone from Miami Fire Rescue also does some training for hurricane preparedness. I have a person that does insurance claims and a person that is a uh insurance inspector that will also do
a uh what is it called? Like a whole, you know, seminar. We get all those people in the same room. That's all hurricane preparedness. We're we're kicking butt. All right. All those people together for next year. That would be a chamber thing very similar to what uh neighborhood
improvements did for their HOA thing, >> right? We should do that for next year. If that whole thing, you know, when that gets presented again, we'll bring SER up again. >> Okay. >> What do you think? We just >> I think that's a good idea. Yeah.
>> All right. So, let's do that. I think I mean I I think uh Chief Fernandez for bringing it up. I think it's a great idea. I just think at this point to to your point, we're late, >> right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. We're late. So, okay. Um let's go on to a hot topic. Ebikes.
>> Motion. I'd like to make a motion that we this issue to be discussed for next year. >> I'll second it. >> Have it on the record and we vote on it. >> I think do we have to make a motion on
that on deferring something? >> If you don't do it, then next year you're going to argue it wasn't brought up and >> agreed upon and then you got to approve. >> Okay. So, do you make uh Nancy and then um a second? >> Oliver say I I
>> Okay. All right, guys. It's getting late, so let's let me keep rushing through this. Okay. Um >> we on >> We're talking about ebikes. Uh Secretary Pña, this is your item. Um the ebikes, there's different um
communities that are passing out uh they're they're voting and implementing ordin ordinances to control ebikes. Um >> I think it was Sunny Isles just did it last year, right? >> And they have a whole bunch of
requirements that they they're these kids to ride the bikes have to have. They have to have they have to be 16. They have to have a driver's license. Um, they can't be on the sidewalks and different things that they've they're trying they're
implementing. And if they break those if they break the ordinance, they're getting fined. I don't remember the amount. I think it was like $250, $200. >> It's $200 a month for your first 500. The second, >> right? So, um I think that would be a
great thing to try and get the town to get involved in this implementing these ordinances because at the state level, yeah, that they can do it, but that takes a long time. >> Okay. >> Here, it's just the the town council would have to vote on implementing
uh the ordinance and just follow the ones that are being done um in Sunny aisles and other places. Um, and I think it'll be a quick um attempt to resolve this problem. >> Okay. >> And what was the town that did it?
>> Uh, Sunny House and other people have done it too. Keep ske I believe and I don't remember all of them. >> All right. So, I just want to say I think this definitely takes time. We need to review this and come back the following meeting because this has some pretty big weight. This gets presented
to the council as a recommendation from the committee. I want to make sure that we're all on the same page. Now, before I start talking, I can't remember what the major said. Deputy Amidor, this would be a town ordinance. Would this be able to be enforced? >> Yes.
>> By MDSO. >> I'm not sure. >> Okay. So yes, there is there is some a little bit of gray area with hard. That's true because Sunny House if you see the police was talking is the
Sunny House Police Department. Correct. I don't know if this is count. >> Yeah. >> Kind of hard to >> Okay. Yeah. All right. >> So that might be the the >> It would have to be countywide. >> Yeah. So yeah, so I think it's going to be able to pass here.
>> I forgot. I forgot. I I see you as our police department. I >> think they belong to us now. They don't. >> All right. So here here right now I just want what I did is and I want you guys to this is your homework. But essentially what I'm providing to
everybody is this is a section in our in our town code for bicycles, tricycles, skateboards, roller inline skates, motorcycles, scooters, dirt bikes, and go-karts. Okay, this lady is on. This is why I take to give me printouts. This has to be the stuff. Except for areas
designated otherwise by a posted sign or notice. No person shall ride, drive, or propel any motorcycle, scooter, go-kart, electric, personal assistance, mobility device as defined by Florida statue 3162068
or similar vehicles on any roads within the parks other than the regular vehicular roads or other designated uses or areas. Okay. However, any motorcycle, scooter, golf, go-kart, electrical, personal assistance, mobility device as defined by the same code or similar vehicle, any road within the parks with
their motors shut off may be pushed by hand not faster than a walk over grassy areas normally reserved for the use of pedestrians. Why did I want to read this? Because this town ordinance is silent when it comes to ebikes. Okay, I don't want to take a motion on
it tonight, but what I recommend this committee to do is that I think this town ordinance needs to include ebikes. I think that's an easy fix. Okay? Because if you add ebikes to it, then you're technically in the same
category as scooters because my biggest concern with a scooter, an ebike, is some kid hauling butt on a sidewalk, hitting somebody. people way around. They hit them because the other day happened to me when I was going through the the life
>> a kid like I was going and a kid out of nowhere at night cross in front of me and thank God I I stopped but I was like this close to just getting the kid right. So >> would that would that be make it for you
guys to be enforcable? >> The state I see state here. Yeah. You know, I say for >> Yeah, I would say if it's a Florida state statute, then definitely. Yeah, that's enforceable. >> Now, if everybody if you guys turn to the third page,
>> second where you're talking about where it says section 1824. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. Go to line to line two. >> Right. >> Okay. No person shall ride, drive, or propel any motorcycle or go-kart.
electric personal assisted mobility device that kind of covers it. And right after the word device, you could put in parentheses including electric whatever the heck the title is.
And all you got to do is keep this and just add those two three words. >> And that's what I'm saying. >> But that's a state statue. It has to be amended in Tallahassee. >> Yeah. But here's here's the thing, guys. And this is what I did because I knew that's where everybody said was going. If you go to this next page, we now have
a Florida statute that discusses electric bicycle regulations 316.20655. Okay. So if you notice that is different because what our ordinance makes a reference to is 206 I'm sorry 316.2068. Okay. So this is different. Now, if you
turn the page to the last page of that state uh that Florida statute, it tells you number eight. A local government may adopt an ordinance providing one or more minimum age requirements to operate an electric bicycle and may adopt an ordinance requiring an operator of an electric bicycle to possess a government
issued photographic identification while operating electric bike. The reason why I wanted to point out number eight is because Mr. Pena, this is what they did in Sunny Isles. Okay. I personally I'm very careful about over overregulation. Okay, I'm not big into overregulation
because it creates all types of issues for our our first responders for us as a town and I don't I don't think there's an appetite for overregulation in the Miami leagues. What I do think there's an appetite for is and again this is why it's homework. I think for this existing
ordinance, just add the bikes because we need to get them off the we need to get them off the the the sidewalks because here's my thing. Not for anything. If they get if they get hit by a car, that's on them. They're the ones that are that are out there doing this. My concern is they hit a a woman walking
over a baby over >> or an elderly person >> or they or like Johnny said, you pull out and you have your driver's side and they hit from the driver's side 25 miles an hour, you can kill someone. >> No, not that. Remember, they're coming in the sidewalk. >> Yeah. So, they're not looking. >> The thing is that when you look, you're
looking for a car. >> Yeah. >> The last thing you think is freaking bike is coming going to come in at 30 m per hour and take you from the sidewalk. So, >> well, it happens on the street by for the other day. The guy took it was right. He took it. >> Yeah.
>> And when you come out of for the library is to make a left, he took it. Luckily, the car that was in front of me didn't take off right away because he would have >> Yeah. Yeah. birthday. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, so guys, do this as homework, please. Okay. Let's keep going on. Um, guys, it's that time of the
year. Deputy and firefighter of the year award. We need to send the email out. Okay. Um, should we send it to uh Chief LeBron? >> That's fine. Yeah, you can do that. Just to keep the Yeah, >> keep that tint.
>> It's one of the chiefs anyways. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Correct. Correct. >> That's Let me ask you so you guys want to do what's your take on you think we have enough in our budget to possibly maybe do one from station one and one from 64.
>> We can make it work. >> You see where I'm going? I mean >> yeah we can make it work >> that way. It just kind of you know I mean there is two stations in Miami Lakes. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Can I make Yeah. Can I Is that Would that be a motion?
>> Which one gets it and which one doesn't? >> No. Yeah, we can do both. We can do both. I don't see why not. >> Okay. All right. So, I need to do a motion first. >> We We Well, let's make a motion cuz it's different. >> All right. >> I'll So, let me I'll I'll make a motion to nominate um for this year, a
firefighter from station one um and a firefighter from station 64. Both stations located in the town of Miami Lakes. >> I'll take that. Johnny is is a second. Okay. And then also uh just so everybody knows this goes
through also MDSO. Okay. So they also will uh be uh communicated with them. Okay. So all in favor say I. I. >> Any against? None. >> Uh the next one um guys I think it would be an awesome opportunity to put it as
an ad on the Miami Laker and >> G. Mhm. >> for uh local art artists to compete for um for an opportunity to have their own mural in or not their own but their draw the mural of Station 64.
We were going to pay for this years ago. Now we're opening it up to an artist and the artist submits all their stuff to us. We were doing it as a committee. I'm assuming there'll have to be something in the fire department, >> right? some some some I I would say as a committee we could do maybe certain um
it it would have to based you know the rendering has to be you know this size and obviously it's got to be public safety themed related um encompassing you know we could do again what what is public safety police fire military you know all that so I would say sort of
this is what we're looking for and you know these are the specs or >> all right so before I give a direction to our fire representatives Is there any conversation about this now? I this has to go through you, Darwin. So, you don't have to run it through uh your guys and tell
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I Yeah, that that's I could do that. >> Okay. And then that way what we'll do is once you get the approval, then we'll run Miami Laker, all that fun business. Okay. >> All right. No problem. >> All right. So, that's that's my motion. >> I have a question. >> Yes. >> Are you going to allow the use of like
AI artwork? because I know like that's a big thing is that a lot of people are using AON to start drawing. >> Takes the originality out of it. I'm sorry. >> Yeah. It's like will you guys have a kind of
like a disclaimer like AR artwork is not >> correct. Yeah, we could that's a good idea actually. Yes, I would agree. >> But but but to Kiki's point, no matter what they're going to do it. Well, yeah. >> They'll do it on their phones and Okay, I'm going to go ahead and do it the best I can, bro.
>> That's what I think will happen. >> Yeah, >> there's no way to check it. >> There's no way to check it. >> All right, there goes that. >> Yeah, but hey, listen. >> Chat BT, here I come. [laughter] >> All right, so the motion's by me, second in by Darwin. All in favor say I.
>> I. None. >> Very good point. >> Yeah, we can have like multiple people like drawing the same thing. Sure. >> Too, >> but you too need to find a way to draw it in the wall. >> Exactly. That's why I point it out.
>> Yeah. >> Yeah. So, um the next one is lock it or lose it. I suggest we put a uh have uh town staff to add our new logo to it and recirculate it. Do I have a second for that? I'll second. >> I'll second it.
>> All right. Johnny beat you to it. All right. Lock or lose it with a new logo. All in say I. >> I. >> I. >> Okay. The last item is Deputy Amador. National Night Out. >> I think we're good with Menchies. >> Yes. All right, guys. Surprise,
surprise. We're going to have National Night Out at Menches. >> Okay. I like it. >> All right. National Night Out. We're going to have it at Menchies. Are you happy, Nancy? We've been talking about this for two years, I think. >> Okay. So, it's not going to be Ice Cream of a Cop. It's going to be national night out.
>> Okay. >> Okay. Do we need to have do we need to instruct town staff to do a flyer? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Okay. All right. That's what we need to do and >> for women's floor. >> That's what
>> it's called national night. >> I'll send you last. You know what? That would that would be great. And then >> we don't have a date. >> Our date our date and and time and times. Okay. Do we have a Do I have a second? >> I'll second it.
>> I'll beat you again. >> Email her that the new times and then they can >> and we'll we'll drop the men's logo in there with the date. I think it's August 4th, Nancy. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Don't be mad at Amador. He won't be here. But yes, I won't be here. >> Okay.
>> Gonna be out of time. >> All in favor say I. >> Hi, >> guys. Um and gals. Here's here's the deal. I pretty quick before we go. I have a little bit of an issue that I want to discuss you guys with. Next council meeting is next council meeting.
We know what that is. That's 8:18. I don't I I I feel that I don't want to have our meeting a month from now because if we can get this our safety video done, I want to be off. We need to get this video out.
>> So, no. Our next Our next meeting is like when it always is scheduled like the last week of Oh, so you wanted to do it in 8:18. >> I want No, 8:18 is the next council meeting. Oh, okay. >> You want the public safety before the
18th? >> Before our regular [clears throat] >> before our regular one. >> I think we should meet sooner to get that to get that PSA out because [clears throat] >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Yeah.

sure that like the date and time that you want to meet there's no one in the room. >> Okay. So we don't need to get an approved or nothing like that. >> I don't believe so. I think the only thing is just the availability of >> Yeah. >> You're going to have to have a special
because then you can just have >> What are you thinking, Carlos? >> That's ridiculous. >> Yeah. Why? Why don't you just vote that you're going to do that? And well, I guess we'll have to pick on the date. >> No, I have an idea. Kiki just said it.
Kiki, go ahead and save it. >> So, you just have the special call meeting. So, it's just talking about the golf cart, >> right? >> Um safety video and then you don't have to like crunch everything so soon and then we can just have the other meeting just having it for everything else.
