think I see anybody from the public you have any comments you'd like to throw in cool move on to the approval of the minutes you guys have the minutes here in front of you guys if you want to take a real quick the last meetings minutes um a lot of what the meeting covers today again is what we covered last time now we have a lot of the events coming up that we spoke about so we'll cover those we got the networking social coming up Main Street meeting coming up and business boot camp R will cover when she gets here so I'm some motion I was out of the country when I get make a difference but oh you're saying for this gotcha gotcha that's fine [Music] excuse motion to approve that mean in favor awesome cool minutes you're good to go move on to the budget I there's any updates right now on the budget right we covered that pretty much recently yeah any major updates I know everyone's pretty good to go R's got what she needs for the boot camp I have a regarding I I was not here last meeting but I know we went over um uh that was regarding we were going to investigate how if there was a renewal of the website and what happened and if we were going to be able to get those fan funds or not spending for the next year's by that meaning it was already inv yeah we had bad that was when I brought it back upstairs that was the that was the it's worst time but uh that was a cycle because it's an off cycle for our October fiscal year okay um so that's that 10,000 for one year or for one year yeah or per year yeah yeah okay um we are clis and I are discussing any certain add-ons that we can have that would compliment uh what they already exist so put a fin based on that modules um there's a certain module that we're looking into that's that's more or less I don't know if you guys are aware on the toolkit um another way to sort of add to you know the modules that are there for existing for respective businesses so it's not that we're stuck with it but it's we're yeah we're trying to augment it now so we're still CL not available right now so I don't know the exact follow on that okay should we do something so that we doesn't happen for next year yeah I mean I already brought it to clarel um and I mean now that we have the time to consider what the module could offer would offer look at reports on how it's doing I mean it's another another year to consider would it would that be extra charge or it would it be part I I think there are some ways to rework it I do remember that there was a number attached to it I don't remember the number I don't remember if there's a way to offset it by reducing you know a lesser use appendage of the the existing modules so I don't have the exact information but it it would be in that cost okay I I wish I had more more details on the specific module but that's more or less the is there a way that we can put like a reminder so that way we all vote on these when we have to and yeah I so that was what the June was that the June Mee no that was May yeah it was May so we'd have to have it decided yeah but that's something that we're kind of going to be looking at that upstairs I mean like internally regarding the module is it working out I mean and the committee's wishes are still on the table you guys put it in a motion so it is coning so um it's just a year a year to figure it out follow through either it works or does work either workes okay so it's up to us I guess keep it on the agenda do it before I guess next appealing or it's not a new website with the you know with the business uh resources and you it's.net working website maybe it works out better and we'll give ourselves that year to figure it out what's the date we need to let you know then by or whoever I I I would say April I don't know just out loud I don't I don't know the like you mentioned can I just be left on the agenda yeah think that way keep mind make sure we don't miss year do we did we review the contract because we might have to give them six months I mean it doesn't matter what we want to what well that's I don't have the specifics on that it was kind of pay the committee is not and I know that was a point of discussion I don't have the details on that but it's hey the community has this interest I know it just hit the cycle so I guess now we have the time to figure it out but you know I we have that answer yesterday and if it doesn't work is there like a b j that we pay you know what I mean maybe it's worth it maybe I don't know if it's $10,000 maybe we got paid you know 2,000 or whatever it is and give him the 8,000 or whatever it is you know the rest of the group you know what I'm saying again that's usually what happens usually something essentially going to be a review period and at the same time finding out what cancellation would look like in case you need a break that glass that I mean yeah so to understand what it is or what mod what other benefits can they bring to the table because if if so far what we have looked at it there's not benefits for the $10,000 that we are investing on the website so I think it will be well spending other that it's needed uh so just to understand what it is renovate the current website like the website weite anent not ancient but it just needs an update to make it more relevant all right cool all right I'm going to keep that on the old business now then in perpetuity local Intel I would be under budget Matthew or something like that we should uh open to redis follow I guess the only update we have in the meantime is once we find out like if there are any contract provision that say we have to get them some diret notice yeah right you know that'll be important to find out sooner rather than later and if we do it might be like a penalty you like a month's worth or you know half of you know whatever the 10,000 is or whatever it is two whatever it might be worth [Music] it makes sense to me all right we'll move on to the old business so just to recap again that P display Banner we went over last time a couple of the design edits I don't know if how many people were here for that but it was some small little things we decided to change the text on it to the mission statement of the chamber and then add some little Miami Lakes branding I think we had little hearts on it we're going to change it to like little Miami Lakes trees and things like that I sent it over to the designer uh she was just out of town but she's back in town now so by the next meeting I should have the final design ready for you guys and if it gets approved we can go ahead and have it ready for you know the next Expo or next networking event that we have we can have a put up display Banner um the EDC promotional videos those are completed right that's done we got the edits um to the voice uh to the voice over lines all that stuff ready to go how is it have that was I think we sent it out yeah we sent it out it it was the completed version plus R's notes on the on the grammar and too on some stuff whether not was a small airport or not use Bilal bunny chance no that wasn't this one was just I'm pretty sure Spanish subtitles I mean we can we can work can't do the Audi I can I can see lot doing on that would be good so the decision now is how to use that video right so we've got this video at our disposal the obvious means is things like the networking event like the next networking Expo that the uh chamber holds in November like you know have the phot display the little video displayed um there's the business boot camp obviously you can have it in a place they playing in in that area um but again like I said to think about where we can kind of use this promotional video and how we can use it I don't know if it's worth doing like social media blast I uh there was like some discussion floated about having it like perpetually on social media um I mean you post it once on YouTube and kind of just think it's there I'm not a fan of in our social media strategy I'm not a fan of just you know putting every two months a video the same video out um that just like goes the engagement um but if it's specifically on a push ad to interested party is interested people are interested in business bus or recreation in South Florida or you know the offerings of economic development in the region or in the city or in the town excuse me it'll populate that's my only uh that's my but that's my word on the paid advertisement what was the original intent of creating the videos um I I think that was more or less what it was for um you have these videos on Sports you have these video on well I think this SP one was compensated I was going to be for free um actually comes out of the RAR mission statement right it pretty much comes out of that usage for what they before yeah prospering community business so I I think in that sense it's I guess it would have just been it's just commercial um which I guess could answer the question of of How It's how it lives you put on your website and stuff like that yeah on the on the economic development page on yeah we can put on our page on the website what do yeah on the actual EDC website that we have this new business toolkit that council is having us look at um I mean that's like a pretty if step one is you know this is what you need to do to start a business Step Zero is watching that video and getting a taste of of the reason offering air for the night life um that that's a good question to think about now that we have it yeah what to do with them cool so I'm going to write down for now that we're going to explore maybe the idea of social using it for some maybe some paid ads if we can put it on the EDC site that would be cool the site that we have the local Biz one and then if we can put on the EDC page on the town website if that's doable you know absolutely those three pages at least we have at least a place that we can live what I'm saying while we still have it you put Li it local in I mean that's what I want to put on that Biz website like that because the EDC has a website like we have our local B whatever website and on there is local Intel um there's some deals and things like that but that's why I feel like we could lean into that website a little bit more and make it stand out a little bit and give people a reason to go there because right now there's no reason to go there and see that there's local Intel you know I feel like there's some way we can lean on on that a little bit but I I'm going to put that in the future agendas I I want to over this Main Street stuff and the the business boot camp once that's already in order then we'll start thinking about the website so I think that'll be a good idea maybe think of the idea of like partnering with some of the I think some of the restaurants have it now already there but there's some online coupons and things like that that if you you know go on this website and you know scan this whatever you get you know whatever a free drink or 10% off something like that so it just kind of promotes the website promotes people going to my businesses things like that you know but just stuff to brainstorm on I give you guys little spoiler um all right cool so we'll move on now to the new business um I have a here the first thing ready to go is the main street collaboration meeting so the last meeting we had um a couple people here there was David from fit therapy and then the marketing girl for chalas and also for I think it's also what is it else corner right I think as well and also I think Anna she's just member of that June yeah the gentleman from 12 yeah 12 David um and she gave us some ideas for the agenda right so that's what I kind of wrote down here um again just to reiterate that meeting is really just going to be us kind of just there to really moderate in allent really we're not there to really participate I mean other than Carlos obviously is a business owner of mry but the rest of us were just kind of there to kind of mediate maybe given our opinions here and there um Jonathan said he told um both uh Tony about it and Josh that's on their calendars yeah so I I have got what so it's been on the calendar since we scheduled it specifically title special call for uh local businesses and um you know the companies I think I specified or I didn't specify the companies I think I specified um I mean it's basically all local business yeah yeah dou check but um that was because council did ask the committee to basically just set it up and yeah let us know when so I I have no confirmation from other council members that may or may not attend hopefully that is the case because they are the ones that I mean to be quite Frank they control our our Town's movement so yeah so if you guys want to reach out to them if you see them out the stre same I mean for that meeting how many people are being for what the uh the main stream one I'm not honestly sure how many we're looking at right now really don't know when it came to uh Monday Monday so yeah um I believe I some of you may know is going to be there she is our commune and special events coordinator so she has a hand and cult Affairs sponsorships events I this this sort of topic that has been floated around on how to to look at Main Street and what to do I think she's obviously a great asset clel who's our department director willon be um available she's not going to be in town um and then staff side I don't have more information I know we kind of wanted or I fled the idea of is our planner is our attorney like what what more could be done I don't have conf for that and then for the yeah for the merchants themselves I don't yeah and then Andrea said she was going to have her people I know she said she couldn't be here today she wanted to zoom in or something to be able to you know have her say in this but you said her people last time she was here you said her people are ready at any point they're you know they're going to be there I told her about sending an email to the tenants and all that I'm not sure if her people did she said she told them but I don't know if that happened hopefully they did that we get as much turnout as possible receive any yeah that's why so I don't know if it happen but um either way I can give an update of everybody that I we have able to spoke and everything and we were kind of a bigger group per se right some of them have already kind of get out of business and the other ones it's been so long that summer which is the worst part of the year is kind of you know we're in the middle of it so uh they know that we're doing all of these they have already met with us and we already have all the comments and everything I'm going to go back and tell them okay he the 22nd it's done everything but I feel that they are kind of tired because they don't see any action right and they say okay there's another meeting not to then to another month to another month and another month and nothing really happens uh so just wanted to be as honest of how I see everybody else thinking about uh I'll be there and I'll share everything all the points that we have and and as you know we have worked with the mark with with Vanessa to be able to do a presentation and everything so we should be ready and and I think it's what everybody wants it's just just matter of how fast they can react because they're really struggle yeah so I don't know if on that meeting we can be able to get it or then we're going to have another meeting of planning and stuff like that and then another month another month another month it's another year uh but let's let's see what happens okay yeah like I said our best bet there just to you know bring everybody together and hopefully you guys can figure it out because the goal is honestly to get it out of the hands of us and the bureaucracy and all this kind of stuff and see if we can find a way to have everybody work together in more of the private sector just so we can get done because once it gets here things get you know yeah bureaucracy comes in it gets slowed down how we can avoid that could you send me the if you have a specific list of people or Representatives that be there just not that Council needs to see it to believe it but I think it's it' be I guess people are coming in yeah conf with everybody that would like to join you can get to me directly yeah sure and if you have connections with any of the council members if you want to tell them to yeah reiterate to them the importance say this isn't happen Jonathan I just got a text from Andre I guess she's on yeahor I guess she I don't she does have anybody his number just not responding um she's asking if there's a flyer for Monday's event so that she can resend it to all the merges uh it's not a an event or like a it's besides it's just a notice meeting they can go on our website and and see the Monday meeting I mean I can make a we don't make fers for meeting which is what it is can you send her like a calendar appointment yeah so that she can pass that along to everybody can do that will be very important so there's more people on they see that the real right because they kind of already not believing that okay so many meetings so many of these and we're not getting anywhere so um I need more support to for them to believe that is true that's my only point I'll keep pushing yeah yeah that's why I'm that's why I'm hoping that we get relatively good attendance and get some people showing up for this thing on Monday at least and even if it's just you as like the figurehead for the yeah the owners that's fine I'm saying from the other parties you know yeah for sure and then if we can make it work that would be you know that'd be great at least to get some ideas flowing whatever we'll see what happens on Monday I'll be there too just to kind of support as well but it'll be interesting to see um the next thing is the business boot camp that's mainly romy's thing I will jump in real quick just to mention again this is mainly for Romy anyways but um I spoke with Florida blue because they just became members of the chamber and they were interested in working with EVC as well and because they know about all the connection that we have all together and they really like the idea of our business boot camp right and potentially sponsoring it in some sort of way I told them that we already have a lot of the speakers already figured out for the most part and set in stone but they were saying it would be cool if they could maybe put a table up you know or if they could sponsor in some other way and then participate and I told them I'm not close to that idea at all so I shared with them R's info I wanted to let her know too we were looking for sponsors for the breakfast okay cool maybe there so that's that and the other thing that we were waiting and I don't know if we able to do it last meeting two questions that I had was yeah if we were were able to get um university thing oh and jendes yes yes I spoke with her as well um and I also shared her info with Romey it's the Emily is the like the camp I don't it's not the campus director but the person that's in charge of that event specifically for us she told us that all she really needs from us is a couple of forms I shared one of them with uh I think with Jonathan to sent to RI or however we got to deal with the sunshine thing I sent it to her that way and then now like I said I just recently connected Emily with romeyo direct okay the only thing with the whole Sunshine is that I can't CC and do it us because if not I would just put us all together and say here it is so I just send it to Jonathan or send hey here's to Roney you know what I mean they sent it to me separately too they did my only thing on the form was it was a fe it was a mention I asked for a fe schedule because to me they said that there's not and so now but that's why they might be that was a very Reon they have it essentially blocked up we just get it submit Insurance she just needs to commun legal to take care of at that point because ability because that was we were that were one of the things that we needed to decide and based on that location we were going to decide to do it let's say if they was going to be there it was going to be INR uh that Network event yeah so uh we need to kind of see where it's going to be because then we're going to ask the bank right uh who is the [Music] bank but um like I said energy men is she just spoke like she called me this week and she told me that they're they're so ready to go they're willing to do it they just need contact whoever's going to be running the actual that's why I I said I shared with her R's info and what I'll do that's why I want R to beer I can tell her like hey here's this stuff here's these people but um like I said it's just in a weird situation I can't really CC us all because of the whole situation what I can do is um after this I can send her to Jonathan right I can send and I have been Emily yeah I just got the the feast that we cleared up with and now again now it's just going to be the as far as I'm aware yeah not even I think we have because they marked us down yeah like I said from her perspective it's gonna happen she just like I said she told me she just needed a couple more forms filled out um and some info on the event and stuff like that and that's where I you know just gave her R's contact because she's the one that had all that kind of you know you guys are the ones with the agenda the info and how long it's going to be you know the the specifics so's the date 20th September right um are you able to talk to them to see if they can sponsor theast the for move yeah yeah I can talk to him because I know that that was one of the things that we were missing with uh R we were going to ask or the banks because the banks were last time the ones that yeah did it so we wanted to yeah yeah because I remember last time it was Jessica and Stevens's banks that did it yeah but I mean like I said Florida crew is interested so we can see that at most it would take that they just we you know we allow them to set up a table there you know and that's fine I told them give him the idea of maybe we throw on the panel too I have no idea though that's why I wanted to talk with Romey I don't want to step on her toes mess with her thing I know she's got a whole has already got a whole thing set up so that's I was like I'd rather have you talk to R before I say something and then she kills me I don't want I don't want to mess with her with her flow that she's got set up yeah I I don't want to I don't want to mess with it because I know she's doing a good job with it that's why um yeah but other than that the business boot camps get to go so we have the location and then a potential breakfast sponsor so like I said I I'll reach out to Florida blue and uh connect them with I I don't have Danny's confirmation or denial still um that one he was on staff side from he's in the building department he takes care btrs he's like best of the best in in this building when it comes to I mean everything so like how to start a business BTR you know what you need to do to take care of your Sport front like every like Danny's the greatest I just don't have that confirmation yet I know we've been waiting on that a lot but that's my okay my little Google all right you got that Carlos you got the the notes for Rob yeah but other than that I think we're pretty much covered on the on the new stuff like I said coming up after this Main Street stuff I'm going to start including the website and see if we can start thinking of ways to bum up our site and maybe take advantage of local Intel while while we still have it you know what I mean we can bring some attention to it um but other than that just the announcements the networking socials next week um and a little update with that I didn't mention this because I found out recently of vanilla espresso couldn't do it because they yeah because on on Wednesdays they aren't open after five you know so I told them maybe we can you know maybe we can you guys can you know you don't have to really be open you can just set up some stuff in the front but they couldn't you know they couldn't figure it out so I figured that's fine we'll just do FB mantle you know we'll make it work that way so we're probably mostly outside I'm assuming 5:30 what time is it 5:30 5:30 5:30 uh July 24th it's Wednesday the Wednesday coming up so Monday is going to be the Main Street collaboration meeting here at 5:30 so if anybody can make it it' be cool it would be appreciated um and then the 24th is the networking social and then July 25th the day after is the ribbon cutting for Kids Choice Learning Center which is right next to nqc that shopping center area there uh NC and the car wash that all there there's an area behind um just a little bit before right after that monori school right before MPC it's right in the middle there um right cool that's pretty much it that covers most of the stuff for this meeting we're pretty much good to go if anybody wants the motion to adjourn secretarial notes here where these go extremely good notes fourth of July anybody anybody Bes was great was great where where are in like the preliminary stages of planning out next year's 25th anniversary um so we'll be we'll be trying to tap into certain sponsorship on like yearlong ideally opportunities um so that's going to be a really good opportunity for us to get business involved venders involved like a 25th anniversary Main Street B like we're we're we're really excited about it so that's my little if you all have any ideas or any invol anything then we should the cultural Affairs to we talk to them I told her last night to yeah said she wanted to so that's why yeah I I I keep trying to make it out one of their meetings but it's always the same day the chamber MCH so it it makes it a mess to try to show up yeah this is aor one that's why we kind of covered what we needed to yeah yeah I like them that's and we're pretty good to go that's why yeah I'm for the the calendar invite but it is on it's on our website it doesn't specify okay you know it's not like a sunshine meeting it specifies what the meeting is about but once the agenda's published we can send that to them if we can get that like soon then that could be really good to send out because that's the official Town letterhead that's you public meeting public notice but you should because the agenda kind of is what you have what we have here meaning marketing op St Merchant grou Visitor Center liting movie theater Foundation that the agenda that she gave when she was right exactly but that's what you were asking do we need to send something else no it's but do we need to you need to make a formal agenda it would be nice I could do it where it's it doesn't have to be this exact format you know how we did for is it's roll call order business and then you go straight into the top it's you know new business item a I mean I can do I can I can put this in a bullet point that's like yeah kind of plan a the business plan for it right to see you know what what can we execute what we cannot and how all the resources we have work together instead of working separate because the city has certain things like for example the 25th anniversary right we can all put together to work all we can adse all we can exactly so um those type of things so kind of planning all the businesses I know that we have the what's the other committee the Affairs Comm culture Affairs committee which does a lot of things that we can do together yeah that's that's reminder that I think you'll invite them you'll invite double back on Monday you mean for Monday yes great IDE you're running um I guess I don't know I necessarily run it but cult culturals meets tomorrow that that'll be another CHF for Aisle I'm not going to direct the flow of like we're done with marketing that's why it's up to them to kind of figure out what they want to do who's in charge on ask no I think I mean that's why I guess I'll sort of be in charge but in reality I'm not going to say all right we're done with marketing move on that's why that's why it's up to you guys but just OPP yeah exactly yeah and again that's why I don't want to dis you know bring down the vibe for the market or for the merchs and all that but it's probably end up taking more than one discussion with everybody this is this is what I'm hoping is that this sets up with how we want to do it in perpetuity I mean mer mer grou 18
