military review planner project application. Um, and I'm going to have to do a bring this up in committee to make a motion to change some things. Um, town lakes and the veterans committee or whatever. Um,
let me see. Thanks for the sponsor. Um, nominate active duty reserve retired branch honored with a street banner. >> Good morning. >> Good game. >> Good afternoon,
>> commander. Don't just jump up for the joy in my heart is over. >> I know. I know. Stay calm. >> It's spilling. Spilling. Don't fall down. >> You just got your just got your cast.
Don't get a dance out of that. >> Moonwalk. >> I never tried that. >> Getting back to uh >> anyway. >> Okay. >> I was wondering if you we're going to have a package because
any gonna take me over. Gentlemen, owner Gary to qualify honores must be a Miami Lakes resident, business owner or veteran that works for the town. >> Correct. >> Um eventually we have to modify that
include or a member of American Legion Post 14 link or actually any veteran organization that is headquarters in land. So it could be the disabled of the American veterans. It could be veterans of foreign wars. It could be American
Legion report. So, you know, >> you don't put that in the agenda for the next meeting. Yes. And I'll put that on the agenda for the next meeting that we change that to ensure that anybody who's a member of a veteran organization that meets a manag
say any >> any veteran that's a member of a veteran group that meets and lulace is also eligible to apply. For example, American Legion.
Agreed. >> Disabled American veteran or BFW, Veterans for War. >> Okay. Listening, >> you know, >> and I'll clean it up. I'll clean it up on the meeting. I'll clean it up on the
meeting. >> Um, okay. So that being the case, those being the criteria, I can tell you the first one I reviewed Valhandrol Melo.
Yeah. >> Melo um >> they called me. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. He's a Miami Lakes resident. Yeah, the D and also we don't want the E214s
because we cannot protect um we cannot protect the uh >> private personal information. We want like >> they can redact that information. >> Yeah. Ask to redact it. >> Um social security number. >> Yeah. Yeah. So
I make a motion to approve for melo second. All those in favor? >> I. >> All right. Next one is someone who is a member of the American Legion Post. >> Rogers.
>> And uh we have his picture and uniform. We have the DD214. Do we have everything required? I make a motion to approve Randolph Rogers to have a second >> military banner. Seconded by Mr. Pio.
All those in favor? >> I. >> All right. Third one is the father of a resident, Dr. Bennett. We have his honorable discharge certificate, which is good enough. We have a picture. He was a Marine,
World War II veteran. >> My son does look a lot like >> Yeah. I think one of the things we got to do is um total of resident or
let's see um must be a Miami Lakes resident, business owner or veteran. Um I'll say Miami Lakes resident or immediate family member. Would the boys be doing immediate family member? You know what? Does that mean be
>> father, mother, sister, brother? >> They got be the person that's nominating the person for the banner. >> Yeah. So, they got to be the mother, the father, sister, the brother. >> But they still supply the information. >> Yeah. They got to supply the information because we already have one Lance Sparkle who's up there, Ostki, who died
in a training accident. His >> that was the uh the nephew. >> Yeah. sump the Marines. >> We have them up there. Um, so I'll say
immediate family member. I'm going to add that in as well for motion because that's what we've always done, right? Um, and you know, we got limited. We can't have any father, mother, >> immediate,
>> sister, brother. Yeah. No grandchildren, >> especially in the case of >> no nieces, no. Well, no, on the on the monuments, we're going to be even more strict. Um because there's really super limited space.
Um okay. So based upon that criteria that we've always applied historically, I make a motion to approve Bennett's uh Dr. Bennett's nomination. >> Second. >> All those in favor? >> All right. Um this person is in
Homestead. This next person is uh Joe Castillo. He lives in Homestead. I am not aware of them being a member of any um veterans organization that meets a Miami ladies. Does anybody know him?
>> That's the first one that I picked up on. >> Yeah. Anybody recognize him from uh No. So he has no connection to Miami. >> Isabelle fell. You know if he works for the town or he work for the town? >> I don't have any information on that. >> You don't have
>> whatever they supplied is what? >> Yeah. that he has to provide that information. I'm only not up on us to investigate. So, I make a motion to disapprove uh Sergeant Cassidy.
>> Um because we cannot find a nexus to Miami Lakes, >> right? >> Do we Google him the CP? That's something we want to do. Well, >> you know what? I think what what you should do is we have this uh this email. I think this cast is done at dinner or
we have this phone number. Um, so I can do one or two things. I can email him and say, "Hey, we got your applications. What is your connection to my release?" And then leave it at that. And then if he doesn't respond, he doesn't respond. >> I think that's >> Yeah. So I'll email him.
>> Um, okay. So the motion is on the table to disapprove uh >> uh Sergeant Castillo identifying Nexus. All those in favor? >> I So it's been disapproved and it says here
and up here it says by submitting this form I acknowledge and agree that I or the person I am nominating is the Miami base a business owner or veteran who works in the town >> I understand
let's move on we got a few of these to do >> all right the second the next nomination is for a member of >> Thomas >> of American Legion Post. It's John Thomas and we have his picture in
uniform. We have his DD214. >> Yeah. Um Yeah. >> Yeah. Major major. >> That's Leia's husband. >> That's That's her husband. >> Yeah. >> Oh wow. >> Oh wow. >> So uh >> he was a sweet he had a heart
transplant. Oh my goodness. >> All right. So, I make a I make a motion to approve >> uh Sergeant Major Thomas. >> Second one. >> All those in favor? >> I >> motion passes. His will be put up as
well. Um the next one is >> another confusing one. >> Jose Barrell. Yeah. Um um and u wife um he is a Miami Lakes resident. We
have his picture but we don't have any thing that tells us that he served on there choose. >> Yeah, he has a choose VA which is not a VA card. Um there's not a card from them. It says it right there. This does
not reflect the entity any benefits administrative by the Department of Veterans Affairs. It's just some kind of company that provides it. It's not the Veterans Affairs Department. >> Send them an email. and we I'll send them another send them
an email, but I make a motion to disapprove um for Roth's application until we get a verification that the
of his service. Um is there someone who want to second that motion? >> Second. >> All those in favor? Hi. >> This is the 62. Okay. Next one. >> This This is the other one.
>> Yeah. Um that that blue um is being nominated by Councilman Sanchez. I I have his D24. I have his picture, but I have no indication that he has >> he's not a resident
>> a connection to Miami Lakes. >> So, Ide was presented as Alex is all Miami Lakes 33014 zip code I'm sorry >> that's also Ohio
I know >> it's 33015 and Miami Lakes does Miami Lakes have any other zip codes other than 33014 >> 147 18 and 16 >> that's all Miami
>> yeah yes 16 I had 184 when I But not uh not 15 more and >> further. Um >> yeah, >> a lot a lot of paperwork says on it because it really hurts. >> So what I'm going to do is I'm going to
email >> Alex >> Alex and let him know. But anyway, >> make a motion. I'll make a motion to uh disapprove Mr. Doo's uh request since we cannot find a nexus. >> Second
>> Miami Lakes seconded by FIO. All those in favor. >> Okay. The next one is someone who is a member of the M Miami Lakes. >> She's a res >> and she's a resident. >> Yes, he's a mother of >> All right.
>> Dr. Garcia >> related to the guy from Cuba. >> Related to the guy from Cuba, Batista. >> No, >> no, no, >> no, no, no, no, no. >> No, >> that's Casp. Yeah, that's what you're thinking.
>> I make a motion to approve uh Wanita. >> All those in favor? >> I >> That motion passes. Next one is someone being nominated by >> works at this uh >> descent.
>> Unfortunately I Kenneet Floyd he is a member of American Legion. However, he didn't provide us a picture that is in uniform. Um and that's a requirement that we have passed. >> Is that one of those photo shops that you that you do?
>> Yeah, apparently. Yeah, it's like one of those passport photos. So, um >> I make I make a motion to uh uh basically disapprove his uh request because he
didn't provide an adequate photograph of him in the uniform. All those in favor? >> He looks good in the suit, but I never >> Yeah, he does look good in suit. Um and I do know he now lives in Miami, I think. Um move.
The next one is um and I know this uh family and this service member died on active duty. Um however, Martin Gonzalez
um the National Guard his family's from Halia. He's from Haya, >> right? >> Um and the person that submitting as Maya Marcelo is just a family friend. She's actually not even related in any way. She's not the immediate family
member. She's not the mother. She's not the father. Not a brother or sister. >> Yeah. So, >> um he's already honored on the IIA wall of honor for veterans. He's already honored in the uh
>> the wall >> the wall inside the uh Miami International Airport as well. and he already has a banner in Hyia. So, you know, unfortunately, he does not fulfill the requirements that we need in order to approve this for a banner in
Miami Lakes. Um, so I make a motion to disapprove his request. >> Second. >> Seconded by Mr. Fay. All those in favor? >> All right. >> That should be Miguel Hernandez, right? H I mean
>> Martin Gonzalez, you know, he's and >> and they're very they're a very nice family and stuff. And I talked to the mother >> about it and I I let her know what the requirements are because we have limited space. >> Um and you know, and she, you know, of course wants to honor her son everywhere
she, you know, but I I think, you know, he he has no connection at all to Miami. He never went to high school here. and everything, you know. So, it just seems that just because we're the next town over, they just can't do that because then it takes away his case from
somebody else. The next one is Miguel Hernandez who is a Miami Lakes resident. We have the DD214. Um, so I make a motion to
approve his second >> approve his request for uh Walmart. All those in favor I General
the first one to redact his information got his information redacted from D24. He's the person I see to do that >> where oh okay there's the email social security number that data birth social security >> oh good friend who knows anyway so next one is uh
Miguel Roas he is a IA resident and uh he provided no picture >> and uh I don't know any nexus between
him and Miami Lakes and does he work for Miami Lakes or they >> anybody know >> this is the wife his wife is >> name the wife >> yes
>> they're highly >> well since We can't figure out the indexes and nor did he approve provide a picture of him in uniform. I make a motion to uh disapprove. All those in favor? >> I >> Okay,
let's see. Okay, this one is a member of American Legion Post. He's a town employee. Well, you work. Um he lives in Miami Lakes
and we have his DD214. I make a motion to approve. >> Second he used to live. >> Lance Corporal Montavaro. He used to live my man. >> Yeah. Deceased memorial. >> He's deceased.
>> Yeah. Yeah. His mother one he um he actually committed suicide. >> Oh jeez. On the bridge. on the bridge. >> Yeah. >> Bridge.
>> Yeah. After it happened, >> Moses. >> I got the letter stop. Well, I make a motion to approve this this uh this banner. >> Do I have a second?
>> Second. >> All those in favor? >> I >> last one is uh Ricardo Martin who uh lives in Day. Something about this one is I had a
question. >> I had a question on this one too. Remember what was the question. the um the letter from from the VA dated February 24th just
>> that certifies that he was discharged brother but his address to him in the round. Yes, but he has says his address is date
avenue. So, it could be possibility one, he hasn't updated his address in the VA system. You know what I mean? He may have moved and not updated his address. >> You got to do that. So, let me uh
>> This is brand new letter from last month. >> Yeah, I know. But yeah, if you don't update your your address in the VA, >> yeah, >> it's going to keep your old address on there when it reg when it issues a new letter. It's a form letter that just issued >> just based upon your current address

Isabella carry these boxes. >> Oh gosh. >> Take I'm sure the the boxes are like one quarter of her weight. So >> maybe halfway down to one.
>> We're going to go through all the classes. >> We're going to pull out. Well, I mean, is there a way for us to just say to the people hanging up the things, do not hang up anybody's who's not in uniform. That would that make sense? >> I I mean, I haven't asked them, so I
don't know if they can do that or not. Um, but >> or they're going to hang up everybody unless we >> They usually hang up Yeah. all the banners that we give them. Um, I guess it's also good to do a count on the banners where we're at right now.
I think the last we were around >> is long. When do they actually hang the banners? >> May >> in May by Memorial Day >> before Memorial Day. >> So, we're talking about we really don't
need to do this. We may have more get more approved put into it. Now this is the only day we approve in the year. >> That's it. >> Yeah. >> Oh, you may you give us a heart for you. >> Yeah. >> So do not do
>> and also >> we're now saying that it must be in uniform >> but that was not abody. >> I got it. I got it. So, how are we going to wind it back up? >> Not every back carefully.
>> So, let's do one pass first then if we can't >> Yeah. >> So, before it was not a requirement to be in uniform. >> What's that? >> Before it was not a requirement. >> Yeah. We we passed a motion saying you need to
>> but then we pass it to change it. Have the others grandfathered in? >> No. Where are we? >> They got to show up with picture in the uniform. I mean, they're in the military. >> Yeah, they have to reapply. So, they they have to >> Well, I mean, all they have to do is give us a new picture.
