8
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:57.040
Um last meeting where um um come up with ideas of possible legislative items that we can bring up to the council on May 28th. So, it's just a followup meeting to see what you guys have came up with. Um, and

9
00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:18.400
share your ideas and maybe we can discuss some of them. I don't know who wants to go first. Also, um, Councilman Spence, I would appreciate if you could open your camera. He's gonna turn on his camera. His device is not working.

10
00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:44.800
>> Okay, got it. So, I don't know who wants to go first. Would you like to share with Oh, yes. Um, >> okay. So, u talking about last session um North

11
00:04:44.800 --> 00:05:02.320
Miami Council Scholarship Program. I think I definitely want to implement this um moving forward. So, do I like tell you what did I tell you like the purpose

12
00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:20.479
and like the requirements and stuff? >> I'm just going >> if you do have that available, please share with us. Okay. Um so for the requirement um of course you have to sit on the North Miami youth

13
00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:35.840
council um and then you will have to have 75% attendance rate. So like you have to attend the meetings and well 75% and good academic and GPA. So I was thinking

14
00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:56.320
maybe like a 3.0. Um, and then I believe anybody can apply to the North Council, but I think we should do three of three scholars,

15
00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:16.720
maybe like $500 each. So, a total of,500. Yeah, >> sounds good. Thank you for sharing. Um just I don't know if um Councilman Spence was able to hear what I said earlier, but we're just going over um

16
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:34.800
our possible legislative items. Um we're just pitching them and discussing them. Um I don't know if Madam Clerk, would you like to go next? >> I didn't really have an idea, but I'm gonna let some idea that I was thinking

17
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:59.319
of right now. Can we come back for a moment? >> Yes. Um, Councilman Dy. >> Hello. Okay. So, I got and I Hello.

18
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:18.000
>> Okay. So, I came up with like an idea. Um I basically wanted Okay. So So basically like we we set like maybe every not every month every year throughout every year we choose one

19
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:33.919
month where we do um like one day with the leader like we choose one of the council women in our group. We or one of the council women's in our group or one of the students from

20
00:07:33.919 --> 00:07:53.479
outside that any high school students, any youth to like be with everyone for a day. Let me come back to your idea and discuss a bit more. Um, I think I'll move on with council me.

21
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:13.599
>> I don't got any ideas. >> Okay, got it. Um, I guess I'll go now. Um, one of my ideas. Um, so I don't know if you guys noticed, but I am part of um the Miami Youth Commission and I'm

22
00:08:13.599 --> 00:08:30.400
currently the parliamentarian and I also serve as the district 2 youth commissioner and I would really like if someone was there to represent the city of North Miami every year. So that's something I want to bring forward um

23
00:08:30.400 --> 00:08:45.680
like possibly having either a youth mayor or council woman there to represent us in our interest. Additionally, an idea that I have also, we can definitely come back to my group

24
00:08:45.680 --> 00:09:01.440
idea for discussion. If anyone has any questions or they need to clarify anything, I'm more than happy to do so. Um, >> I would recommend um each idea have a discussion so it's fresh on everyone's mind.

25
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:16.399
um because I have some questions, but I'll let you guys go first. >> You know what? If that's the way we're doing it, then I think maybe we should go back to um city manager and everyone can ask your questions and then we can

26
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:34.000
move on and I can pitch my second idea. >> Oh, okay. No, you're right. I see what you're saying. You throw all the ideas on the table and then >> Okay, go ahead and go outside. Go ahead. Um my second idea would be um

27
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:51.680
implementing a day where we get to serve as the act as our actual position. So maybe one day I get I can get to work with um the city of North Miami mayor and take this role and um councilwoman

28
00:09:51.680 --> 00:10:09.000
Liberty can take the role of her council woman or councilmen and um yeah my has any questions, we may clarify anything. And we can start with city manager.

29
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:34.160
If you can just remind everyone of your idea um >> Okay. So, my idea was the North Miami um Council Scholarship Program, and it's basically awarding three scholars within

30
00:10:34.160 --> 00:10:51.920
the North Miami Youth Council. Um I would say 5,000 Oh, Jesus, sorry. I would say $500 each. Um and this is just to help fund and like support education goal like for

31
00:10:51.920 --> 00:11:08.640
college and stuff. So, I forgot to mention this but you must be a senior in order to like receive the scholarship. Um and then the criteria was like 75% you have to be 75% active um which mean

32
00:11:08.640 --> 00:11:24.959
coming to the meeting um academic so you have to have like a 3.0 OPA. Um, and then well, you have to sit on the plan council

33
00:11:24.959 --> 00:11:46.160
board. >> Sounds good. >> Yeah. >> Go ahead. >> Would this be a onetime scholarship or would it be a recurring per semester scholarship? >> Good question. Um I don't know how fun

34
00:11:46.160 --> 00:12:03.120
is looking like for the city of North County. So I was speaking a one time but if we could make it happen um and you just reapply but I was thinking a one time

35
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:30.720
scholarship. I know I'm supposed to refer to management, but Paul, I'm gonna ask you, how would funding work towards something like this? >> Speaking, I'm so sorry, we cannot hear you. >> I keep doing the same thing. This would be the same. This would be something you

36
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:45.279
propose to the mayor council um as a legislative item. will propose this item and then part of the item would be that there must be x amount of dollars incorporated into the youth

37
00:12:45.279 --> 00:13:04.959
council budget for scholarships. Um budgets alternate yearly. So I am not sure budgets alternate unit because of the climate of the

38
00:13:04.959 --> 00:13:21.360
economy and different things going on. So uh not that it's not a good idea but because of the monetary attachment to it I would probably sway away from it. Again, I think councilwoman is looking for something

39
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:37.680
that can be set in stone, a law that can be passed um that'll be uh for, you know, decades to come. Not saying that just because there's money, it's not going to be something, but again, budgets do

40
00:13:37.680 --> 00:13:54.720
ultimate um on the yearly basis. Another, and this is just me being open and transparent, you see magic. Another thing that I can foresee the council to say she'll probably want something fresh and original simply because the city

41
00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:12.160
already does the birth educational foundation, right? So maybe my brain is thinking of instead of $500, maybe there could be a legislation that if a youth council member has a 3.0 no

42
00:14:12.160 --> 00:14:28.880
GPA attend 75% and whatever the criteria is successfully does the youth council for two years they automatically get the North Fry Foundation scholarship without applying does does that make more sense now

43
00:14:28.880 --> 00:14:45.920
that's more like a legislative thing that you know we can edit and say uh upon completion they would automatically receive the North Educational Foundation scholarship without having to apply. Um, right. Maybe you can even make it

44
00:14:45.920 --> 00:15:00.240
more interesting saying if you've done those criteria as part of being the youth council, they would automatically get the North Youth uh the North Educational Foundation scholarship for the first let's say two years or first year and then you'll have to apply,

45
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:16.560
right? Something in that nature. That's my recommendation I would say. >> Yeah, I agree. It's a really good idea. What do you guys think about that? >> I think it's a really good idea. Um, city manager. However, um, what I do in

46
00:15:16.560 --> 00:15:31.199
my research, I tried to steer away from anything that involves um, funding just because um, I don't know because it's like the whole thing with the budget and the coun

47
00:15:31.199 --> 00:15:50.800
the council. So I don't think it's a good thing to um have a legislative item that requires funding from them. Um you are heading out. Yeah. But before that, I wanted to add

48
00:15:50.800 --> 00:16:07.199
on to Geka's idea because I also was thinking of a scholarship incentive and I feel like it's good because it also would incentivize more people to join the youth council itself. So I feel like it would help in both ways of us getting

49
00:16:07.199 --> 00:16:24.000
more people and also being able to propose the legislation too. So, I think that idea is good respectively because I understand that you're concerned about the budget, but with Paul's um addition to it, they would be taking the they would be taking anything out of the budget that they

50
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:39.360
wouldn't normally. They would just be awarding the scholarship between the students of the youth counselor, >> right? So, that that's I'm glad Rebecca mentioned that. So, usually the unless something drastically changes again with the budget, that's what you may and I

51
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:55.600
are saying, the The North Education Foundation has been around for a long time. It's usually funded unless something happens. Um so if they for example usually award 15 students, we now know that maybe

52
00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:11.039
12 is open to the public and three is reserved for the the foundation. Now I'm also my brain is running as well. I'm also thinking this may not also be a good idea because the foundation which

53
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:28.640
is a separate entity in a sense um would have to agree on these terms as well. So if if I had to pick all this sound like a great idea, I would probably move on to maybe the next idea for a legislation because I know she wants something completely fresh and brand new that we

54
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:44.400
they can look to implement. Does that make sense you saying? I don't want you to think it's not a good idea, but it's just so many caveats um in because of the monetary connection to it. >> Paul, is the scholarship foundation that

55
00:17:44.400 --> 00:18:01.440
you're talking about is the one that Clara got last year because I know that's also >> That is correct. That is correct. Um, Councilman Liberty, if you could remind us of your item,

56
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:17.200
your idea. >> Yes, mine was a little bit similar to yours. You stated that you wanted to do where us the c us the members we sh basically shadowed the our our position

57
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:32.799
but I wanted to open it to actual not actual but I wanted to open it to the students where they get to like shadow us so they can see what we're doing or they get to shadow the um

58
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:50.960
you know the council c to the women and men, you know. And I was also thinking like I was also thinking like we should implement where the city clerk, the

59
00:18:50.960 --> 00:19:08.240
youth city clerk should be in charge of the Instagram page so they can keep the page active and I think that's a great idea. However, with that being said, I just don't think that falls under the criteria of a

60
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:25.039
legislative action. Um, the first one, the first thing that you proposed, I mean, I see where you're going with it. I just think I don't know how how would you go about that? How would you go about selecting the students that shadow the the

61
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:43.679
officials? So, you know how we can always reach out to schools or we can always like, you know, do like a little raffle. We can always reach out to schools and we ask the schools to pick, you know, their

62
00:19:43.679 --> 00:19:59.280
child choice students that live in the city of North Miami and they can and then we email the students and the students, you know, I think this is a great idea, but

63
00:19:59.280 --> 00:20:19.039
We're already having a hard time recruiting people for the youth council and we've been reaching out to schools. So, how would you know that students would actually be interested and this wouldn't just be a fail? You had a doubt.

64
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:33.520
I was saying that we already have a hard time um picking getting people to um apply for youth council and if you were to and where to school I reached out to school in the schools in

65
00:20:33.520 --> 00:20:51.600
the past and we still have a hard time. So how would you make sure that you actually have signing up here? I feel I feel like we should start going into more public places like when when the actual when the city when they

66
00:20:51.600 --> 00:21:07.679
have events like when they have big events we should start showing ourselves out there more like especially in the library when the library has like little functions such as computer coding or like you know those little stuff we can

67
00:21:07.679 --> 00:21:22.720
start small we can start from the library where the kids are aware of hey this what we're Even if it's elementary kids, it's okay. They still you, you know, they be aware of what's going on. So, do you have like a specific target

68
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:39.440
audience? >> I mean, I think I should be asking you. I don't know if you have a specific um a targeted audience for your idea. I just don't see how we could incorporate elementary,

69
00:21:39.440 --> 00:22:03.440
but if you can explain that, I would appreciate it. It's okay. Thank you, Paul. Do you have any questions? >> I'm waiting for you guys to to to um to come up with it.

70
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:19.600
Can I put my ideas? >> Yeah, of course. >> Okay. So, um the two ideas I had were we have like um a youth in government thing where maybe we could have like one day out of the school year where school

71
00:22:19.600 --> 00:22:35.440
comes is able school from North Miami is able to come to the North Miami city hall and is able to like explore what their jobs do and how they do it and also like talk with the youth council of course and see what we do. We already have something right now in

72
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:53.840
October for uh government week. >> And again, I think just to remind you guys what our assistant city attorney Paul said last week, you guys have great ideas with these ideas on your events and programs, right?

73
00:22:53.840 --> 00:23:12.480
I think it's think of it. Let me read directly from AI to exactly tell me what I should tell y'all. You have to remember I'll tell you right now you got to remember right now. So again the legislation it has to be a

74
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:29.840
rule a change of a rule a system or a structure that happens permanently right so like right now you guys are thinking like event planners we need to think like policy makers for example I'm going to give you guys an example

75
00:23:29.840 --> 00:23:46.080
about two weeks ago the state of Florida created a new legislation that was signed by governor where a new bill, something permanent changed where recipients of food stamps

76
00:23:46.080 --> 00:24:02.000
can no longer buy unhealthy foods, right? So before you were able to buy soda, chips, candy, things that make you processed foods. So the scientists in the Florida legislators, they created this bill, this legislative item that

77
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:19.840
effective on this day, food stamps will not be eligible to buy XXX. All right, that state legislation in two years, they can take that legislation and say effective this day, you can no longer buy XXX

78
00:24:19.840 --> 00:24:36.080
higher than $40. I'm just giving you guys example. This is what I'm trying to get you guys to to to think like. So that's how that's a policy set in place, right? Miami day county public schools that you guys attend, they create bills, they create these legislative items

79
00:24:36.080 --> 00:24:50.799
where effective this day, schools will no longer allow cell phones. Effective this day, schools will no longer allow this. If there were another example, if they create a policy where in order to attend a Miami day

80
00:24:50.799 --> 00:25:08.799
county public school, you must do this this that. So this is where she's trying to make you guys think of and it doesn't have to be the council related. Maybe that's why I'm I'm drawing a blank as well. She actually wants you guys to come up to them and tell them, hey, maybe this is something the city should

81
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:26.000
implement, right? Of course, in relation to the use for Kirby, but you guys noticed something. He say, you know, I think the city should change this moving forward. This that's what she's looking for. One example I can probably give I was trying to see if AI can assist us.

82
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:41.840
Um the city has a lot of boards, right? They have a lot of boards. They have what we call the planning commission board, uh board of adjustments. Um all these boards have different purposes that serve. One way, one thing you can

83
00:25:41.840 --> 00:25:57.840
say is uh you want to bring a item that effective then state each one of these boards must have a youth involved on these boards. That's a legislative and then you're going to explain why you're going to say

84
00:25:57.840 --> 00:26:14.559
for example the planning commission the planning commission board is a board of North Miami residents and they get to vote on new development that's coming to North Miami. So every building that you see that's built in North Miami, every type of development that's built, they

85
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:30.640
have to go in front of the planning commission to get their approval. The planning commission is looking at different aspects, parking, uh landscape, uh traffic flow, right? If you guys are the future of the city,

86
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:46.159
then perhaps maybe the city should look into implementing where they need to include a youth. Maybe maybe has to be council to be part of the planning commission in order to provide input and also vote on

87
00:26:46.159 --> 00:27:03.600
these items. Does that make more sense? Again, I'm not even sure if you guys would be old enough to be on the commission. I'm just throwing an idea out there for you so you can understand that rather than program it's policy set in place. I can flood you with even more examples

88
00:27:03.600 --> 00:27:20.480
if you want, but I I again think about the Think about the school selling policies like the schools that you guys attend if they say you know how like usually the last few days of school um they say okay no book bags no come back

89
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:37.919
they have to set a policy something permanent right something permanent effective this day school uh Friday school will not allow um the last three days of the school year those are policies that are set in place that's a legis legislation that's

90
00:27:37.919 --> 00:27:57.399
set in place. That's the best way I look at it. I don't know how else to explain it. >> That makes perfect sense. Um I don't know if anyone else can share anything. Thank you for your explanation.

91
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:16.080
I feel like with what process I think your idea works the best but I'm just confused on how because it was what board was it that you said you were part of this it was for the Miami commission the Miami date youth commission the only thing about that is how can we guarantee

92
00:28:16.080 --> 00:28:31.679
that every year there will be somebody on that board because it's not like we're the Miami date youth commission where you can say we need to have somebody from West Miami on our board. >> That is true. That is true. But um the managing commission have usually had

93
00:28:31.679 --> 00:28:48.880
someone representing from um like for example we have a representative from the mayor's office. So we can definitely talk to leaison and talk about possibly having a representative from the city of Miami. >> Okay, that makes more sense. I

94
00:28:48.880 --> 00:29:14.799
understand that. So it would be like like a government official serving on the board. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I think I like that idea. And I think I like that one. >> Okay. >> You guys are getting somewhere now. Now,

95
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:30.240
we need to frame it. We need to frame it officially, right? I'm not saying you're going to frame it like an attorney, but you guys are getting somewhere now. The proposal is that someone in the youth council, the North

96
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:45.360
Carolina youth council must also be in district 2's private county. >> Yeah. >> Youth commission. That's a beautiful. But now you need to explain why. So I would recommend you say u it is important that representation from North

97
00:29:45.360 --> 00:30:01.520
Miami is always included. Okay. Representation from North Miami is always included. said that um uh the youth from North Miami will also be heard at the county level. This is what you get in the legislation. Now, here's

98
00:30:01.520 --> 00:30:18.640
where it gets more complicated. You need to frame this up as well. The county is a separate entity. Okay? So, if I were you guys, I would recommend that you say that you're proposing that the city enters an agreement with the county. Right? The reason I'm

99
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:34.080
saying with the county is because you have to remember this is too office. She not only represents North Miami, she represents North Miami, North Miami Beach, a little bit of city Miami. So this is where you bring the legislation that we're proposing legislation that

100
00:30:34.080 --> 00:30:49.279
the city of North Miami enters with Miami date county um for the representation. As such, this person will represent North Miami on a county level each year.

101
00:30:49.279 --> 00:31:05.760
Okay. As such, this person will also be voted amongst the North Miami Youth Council. Um like basically amongst yourself for the represent the represent uh for the person to be represented at the county

102
00:31:05.760 --> 00:31:22.720
level. Does that make sense at all? So now this is where the complex part is. The proposal one the city MU is called a memor memoranduming of understanding. It's an agreement. Number two, that they um

103
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:40.080
they are entering agreement as someone from our youth council is always representative on the Miami Day County Youth Commission by default. >> Okay. Does that make sense? >> Is this somebody from the youth council or somebody from the city of North Miami

104
00:31:40.080 --> 00:31:58.640
like an official? repeat the question. >> Is it somebody who serves on the youth council will always be part of that board or is it that somebody from the city of North Miami like the mayor or some a councilman will be a part of?

105
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:16.240
>> No, somebody from here would be there. >> Okay. >> All right. So, never mind. I just did some research. It won't work. This is why this is good. It says it won't work because you can't require membership on another government entity

106
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:34.159
because the state of North doesn't control appointments on a county board. Each body has its own selection process and authority. We would be creating a requirement that we can't enforce, >> right? Because we're really close to the

107
00:32:34.159 --> 00:32:52.919
fun idea. >> And why couldn't we do the scholarship form again? But I mean we can't do the scholarship. There's no there's we already have plenty of scholarship opportunity like I mean it's not a legislative idol.

108
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:14.960
I mean, can you consider my second idea for the be your role for a day? >> Be a what >> be like your role? Like for example, mayor maybe where I serve as um mayor

109
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:31.760
does that fall into programming because legally you can't really make any decisions for it'll just be like a cute day and say she's the mayor for the city but you can't make any decision anyways because

110
00:33:31.760 --> 00:33:46.799
you remember even our our current structure the the mayor cannot make decisions solely or by himself has to be a majority vote within himself and the council. So we don't have a stronger government.

111
00:33:46.799 --> 00:34:02.799
Now if we had a strong government then that would be legislation there's a legislation where um the youth mayor shall have the authority on the first Thursday of every month to implement decisions on behalf of the city but we

112
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:19.119
don't have that structure >> but not even like a shadowing thing where everybody from the youth council does their own like has to shadow them further or >> there's no legislation there What are you implementing forever?

113
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:37.679
>> Forever >> we implement. I'll get back to you. >> Oh, are you sure? open the spot with the Miami um commission or like I was represented from the city of Miami because you have

114
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:53.280
to represent it from the mayor's office >> because you have to remember you can't tell Miami Day County who they should pick. >> That's true. But like >> because her that that district the one the one you represent district two she

115
00:34:53.280 --> 00:35:10.240
represents many municipalities. So, I don't know the selection process, but they end up picking you because you were the best candidate, but if they feel someone in North Miami Beach, which is in our district, is a better candidate. We kind of strong them because we got an

116
00:35:10.240 --> 00:35:25.599
agreement saying, "No, you got to pick somebody from our time." That's like another student telling us how to pick our board. Imagine I couldn't pick you guys because we had an agreement locked in place forever that we must pick somebody because of x other reason. Does that make sense?

117
00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:42.880
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want to make it a requirement, but like I want to make it a position with the Miami Dies Commission where like there is that availability there that spot that they do want to have a representative from the city of North Miami like this

118
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:59.599
is available. >> So that legislation will be a county change. would have to ask the county to amend their paperwork and say we recommend that this is in place. Make sense? So now the county if they agree

119
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:26.400
they'll say okay now we have a legislation that moving forward we must pick someone from the north youth council to be included in our youth commission. Got it. I think we're out of ideas. I don't I don't have any other ideas. I

120
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:45.280
don't know if my colleagues do we're also um Councilman St. and counciloman just I want to pick you I like what Paul said earlier when he was talking about how um

121
00:36:45.280 --> 00:37:04.240
you know how there's different type of board positions that you know like the event committee or whatever how we should know about their role and like I like about that I also I also like the idea

122
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:19.920
Okay. So, here's my proposal. Because, for example, the planning commission, some of these other boards, there there's legal requirement by the state who's qualified enough to vote for it. And I think because you got

123
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:38.079
reminders, um there's you won't be able to vote on some of these on all of these items. So, based on discussion and action. Uh yeah, I think my proposal is a

124
00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:55.520
legislative item where uh the planning commission or the board of adjustment and or the board of adjustment establishes a youth alternative members. All right, this member would be on the

125
00:37:55.520 --> 00:38:12.880
board but they cannot vote. However, the member will be able to sit in participate learn and speak on things that they feel would affect the youth in the in the development. Does that make sense? So, for example, uh you won't be

126
00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:28.320
able to vote, but there's a legislation legislation passed that effective next year, a youth, uh a youth council, a youth council member may be able to sit in as an alternate member on the planning

127
00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:43.680
commission where they can provide um where they can listen and provide um suggestions that they feel is um that that will affect you moving

128
00:38:43.680 --> 00:38:58.880
forward. Of course, you cannot vote on it. You'll just be an alternative um member. >> What does everybody think about that? >> That sounds like a good idea. I just have one question. Um you said there are

129
00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:15.520
different like commissions. There's >> different boards. Four different boards. There's planning. Do you mind mentioning the others if you do remember them? >> Oh, there's there's a lot of boys. But

130
00:39:15.520 --> 00:39:49.599
matter of fact, hold on. Actually, I can just show them. All right, let's see. Can you see my screen? >> All right. So, we have the affordable housing committee. They haven't been in a while, but we have the board of adjustment. Oh, we have the centennial

131
00:39:49.599 --> 00:40:05.760
committee. Uh, that's a committee that that one didn't really say a board. Well, I guess it is a board. Um, we have the charter board. Citizen investigative board is no longer city council of course we have the

132
00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:22.160
commission for women board uh the parks rec commission personnel planning and a whole bunch of other boards and of course the youth council board right >> I was looking at them and I feel like the one that makes more sense is price

133
00:40:22.160 --> 00:40:37.760
and rights possibly >> parks right admission Yeah, >> you could you could join that. >> I mean, we can definitely I feel like we should join based on our interest,

134
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:52.880
you can have like if someone's interested in park cigarettes, someone's interested in um >> see now Stacy is going places. So, you can amend the legislation. You can say

135
00:40:52.880 --> 00:41:09.920
our proposal is that effective X date the city of North Miami can alternate a youth position where there's no voting on each of the boards in the city north land right and your purpose your purpose

136
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:27.520
would say that for example if you decide to join the parks and rec um the park board member you can be on the board to provide suggestions feedback um to uh

137
00:41:27.520 --> 00:41:44.480
to the board or what do you think is important for the youth? Okay. Now, when you guys said it, one of the things that I could see the council woman saying or the mayor council saying is that all of these boards are already open to the public, right? All of these boards are already open to the public uh where you

138
00:41:44.480 --> 00:42:00.960
can provide public comment. This is where you need to sell it to say, "Yeah, all those open to the public have a seat at the table to provide opinion, right? Maybe you can say public comment is only open to two minutes and you as a a youth

139
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:18.560
Miami uh you can provide more than two minutes of suggestions and feedback. As an alternative member, even though you cannot vote, you can ask the developers questions. Hey, what is your plan on students? What are you going to do for students? Um and you're developing. Does

140
00:42:18.560 --> 00:42:38.079
that make sense? I'm saying all this because more than likely, not more than likely, 99% I'm going to prepare this, but I need you guys to understand when I'm preparing so when you present at the council meeting, it makes sense. Obviously, I'm not going to throw you

141
00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:54.640
guys in a fire. I'm going to prepare this. I'm going to get approval first to see if this is something even we can propose and then we're going to need to meet one more time. We need to do it. So that way on the 20 at council meeting, you're going to present and be confident when you're

142
00:42:54.640 --> 00:43:09.760
presenting. Doesn't that make sense? Right? Because when you go and present, you need to be confident what you're saying, why you're proposing this. I'm going to do the leg work because I know you guys are not. I'm going to do the leg work. And again, I'll tell you guys, we need to meet again so you understand

143
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:26.079
what you're proposing. And then and again, you have to remember if they accept this legislation, this is something that is going to be here forever. This is something you can always brag about even you know when you apply for scholarship because again this

144
00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:42.000
will be on official record that youth finger youth council woman city manager this is legislation have your name and it'll be official in the books does that make sense all right so just to wrap up just to make sure I'm understanding

145
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:58.880
what the North Carolina council is proposing that city implement a alternate youth member on each of the plan each of the board where the youth member will not be able to vote. However, the youth

146
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:15.359
member will be able to provide suggestions uh feedback, ask questions in relation to anything youth related for the boards. Okay. And that each person should be shall be appointed

147
00:44:15.359 --> 00:44:32.480
u by the mayor council. Are we saying each person should also have to be on the youth council? >> You have to think about that. I think what you want to be it has to be on the youth council. >> I I don't think they have to be on the youth council.

148
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:49.359
>> You think so, Stacey? Yeah. >> Well, if if you're not on the youth council, how do you exam who the person is? Right. the youth council was supposed to be like the best of the best leading our youth. So I would recommend keeping that requirement

149
00:44:49.359 --> 00:45:05.040
um so that way it's already established. We can even say that each member must be at least on one board in order to be active and remain on on the council. How does that sound? >> That sounds good.

150
00:45:05.040 --> 00:45:21.200
>> All right. Great. We only have two minutes left in the meeting. I don't have it. Um, any other questions? >> I have a question. Um, you have to follow up. I know it's on the agenda, but do you have a followup on the event that we're supposed to have with the market?

151
00:45:21.200 --> 00:45:35.359
>> Yes. So, the only followup I have I'm supposed to finally get the flyer tomorrow. Um, once I get the flyer, I'm going to share that with you guys. Um, I'm glad you brought that up because they would they also would like for us

152
00:45:35.359 --> 00:45:52.960
to go to Mar and host a statement there. Okay. Uh, we haven't set a date yet. They're waiting for me to send a flyer and the draft of the agenda. I started the agenda. I'm looking for a moderator. Um, once I have that, we'll work on a date to go to Myar and have the event

153
00:45:52.960 --> 00:46:10.240
there because it has to be fair for us to travel with them because they're coming down to us. Does that make sense? that makes perfect sense. Also, um if I remember correctly, last meeting we chose um council liberty and city manager

154
00:46:10.240 --> 00:46:28.079
as our two um as a >> panel. Yes. Well, because I don't want the meeting to cut off on us, but I think I want to propose to you guys. >> Uh

155
00:46:28.079 --> 00:46:46.720
I don't know what it is. It usually tells you when you have a Okay, I I'll make it very quickly. We'll come back to that because again, we're going to meet again soon to discuss the state of idol. Very quickly, um Arizona, I've already purchased the

156
00:46:46.720 --> 00:47:01.760
flights, the hotels and things of that nature. Um the vice president who host that is hosting us in Arizona, she added this indoor indoor card and games on the agenda. Uh but you guys will have to pay

157
00:47:01.760 --> 00:47:17.040
on your own. So I need to know if you guys are interested because if you guys are not interested, I need to save their time. So look into it. Um and then we can discuss this. Um you guys can let me know your

158
00:47:17.040 --> 00:47:34.880
text if you're interested. It's a indoor race car and games, laser tags, VR, but again, it'll come out of your personal money. Um, it's one of those we are going or we are not going. Stace is not going to go and

159
00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:51.200
the rest of us will stay back. So, work on yourself to come up with if we are going to go or not. Um, you know, talk about it a new chat, but we're not going to move in style here where you're too cool, you're not If you don't want to go, just go and sit down with me because

160
00:47:51.200 --> 00:48:07.440
I'm not going to do no goard, but we need to come up as a group to decide what we're doing. Does that make sense? All right. Thank you, guys. I will follow up with you. I'm going to take the agenda for Arizona soon. I finish booking most of the things. I just need

161
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:24.480
to finish I need to know from you guys so I can refresh our itinerary. It's 6:30. I'm going to follow maybe in the morning. So, please go do some research. It's called Adred Cardi Adred Cardi. All right, I'll send a link

162
00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:39.359
in the website to see if you're interested. If you're not, let me know so I can finalize that. Any questions before this shut off? >> No questions, but should I join the meeting now? >> Yes, you make a motion. >> I would like to make a motion to the

163
00:48:39.359 --> 00:48:56.240
meeting. >> Do I have a second? >> I Rebecca. um make the the call. >> Okay. The meeting there is a proposal to adjourn the meeting by Mayor Kier,

164
00:48:56.240 --> 00:49:06.319
seconded by Prisca. All in favor? All right. for meeting adjourned at 6:28
