The most pressing topic at the council meeting was the Main Street collaboration meeting. This initiative aims to strengthen partnerships between the town and local businesses. The council highlighted the importance of involving the community and special events coordinators, ensuring the availability of department directors and staff, and communicating with merchants and tenants.

Another subject was the Business Boot Camp, which garnered attention due to the expressed interest of Florida Blue in potentially sponsoring and participating in the event. Additionally, the council discussed the need for sponsors for the upcoming networking social.

The town’s 25th anniversary also occupied a portion of the discussions. The council focused on securing sponsorships and involving local businesses and vendors to commemorate the milestone. This event presents an opportunity to celebrate the town’s history while promoting economic activity and community engagement.

Aside from these major topics, the council covered various other matters. The progress on the display banner and the completion of the Economic Development Council (EDC) promotional videos were discussed, with conversations revolving around the usage of these videos on the town’s website, social media platforms, and in partnership with local businesses for promotion.

Moreover, the council deliberated on the budget, specifically addressing the renewal and update of the town’s website. The website update includes considerations for additional modules, potential costs, and a review period. The council also discussed potential penalties for early termination of contracts.

The meeting concluded with discussions on the need for improved communication and collaboration among the various committees and organizations within Miami Lakes. The council members advocated for coordinated efforts and resources to enhance the effectiveness of upcoming events and initiatives, such as a ribbon-cutting event for Kids Choice Learning Center and the involvement of the Cultural Affairs Committee.
