The primary focus of the meeting was the Youth Council’s financial situation. With funding levels reportedly low, the council considered various fundraising activities, including car washes, selling chocolate bars, and organizing food sales. The proposal to collaborate with Circle of One Marketing was introduced to help publicize and support these fundraising efforts. This collaboration aims to increase community awareness and potentially boost participation and funding through effective marketing strategies. The motion for the city to explore additional funding for the Youth Council was passed with unanimous support.

Another topic was the discussion on enhancing transportation options for students and residents. The council considered the introduction of city bikes, which would provide an alternative means of transportation for those who do not drive, such as students commuting between North Miami and downtown Miami. Concerns were raised about the security and maintenance of the bikes, and suggestions were made to include trackers and safety equipment, like helmets, with the rentals. The idea of introducing scooters was also mentioned, although it was noted that bikes might be a more feasible starting point due to cost considerations. The council agreed to explore the feasibility of implementing city bikes.

Additionally, the council addressed the need for sidewalk repairs near Arch Creek Elementary. The condition of pedestrian sidewalks was highlighted as a concern, emphasizing the safety of students and residents. A motion was passed to request that Public Works investigate and address the pedestrian sidewalk conditions in the area.
