okay so um my out here okay so Helen just so you know um some of these items that we still as a sty said we're holding so we're doing so the same that has happened in the past where we remove it nothing you know at the end of a sudden they're gone right and before you know it you know a year later seven months later right what happened no it just it kind just gets lost in the cloud so what we do is we're just going to keep it there right until we receive update until of course then we really hit a brick wall say okay look there's nothing farther that we can do so that's what we're doing a lot of these items just so we don't forget that there they Brewing right so we'll table that one on there's no okay the aen Perry here hero life uh ring initiative okay yes you all should have a copy of the draft letter um with your agenda you guys want to take a moment to review it see what you think um I know this is we've been waiting on this for a little bit um but yeah I can read it also that say go for you okay uh dear members of the Town Council on behalf of the Mii Leakes neighborhood Improvement committee we are writing to express our disappointment with the decision to raise sponsorship funds for the aen per hero life bring initiative rather than allocating Town funds that cover the modest cost of this important project this initiative honors the heroic actions and memory of Aiden sensor Perry a high school student who tragically lost his life while attempting to save a man from drowning on April 19th 2022 in Center Florida while walk JS off with his mother Aiden witnessed a vehicle crash to a pond during the driver call for help Aiden handed his phone to his mother to contact 911 and courageously entered the water to assist tragically both the driver and Aiden's emerge and did not survive Aiden's bravery selfness selfness and sacrifice embody the highest ideals of community service and heroism each life bring costs $395 and we're seeking to place them in just five strategic locations within our community it is worth mentioning that other municipalities including for Lauderdale the city of Durell and Coral Springs have successfully implemented similar initiatives without presentation recognizing the importance of prioritizing Community safety and honoring individuals like Aiden my mes have the opportunity to join these City in setting an example of leadership and compassion the neighborhood Improvement committee firmly believes that honoring a Mar's Legacy with dignity requir the Town School backing by allocating the necessary funds the Town Council could demonstrate its commitment to community safety and to celebrating options of a young girl who made the ultimate sacrifice we urge the council to reconsider its decision and provide the funding required for this initiative it is a small but meaningful way to ensure that Aiden's Legacy inspires others while contributing to the safety of our waterways thank you for your attention for this matter we look forward to your support Hing I will I motion to approve okay that's very there's nothing really I mean honestly I I I'm going to express once again the same disappointment that I expressed the first meeting that this was brought out to my it it was embarrassing it really was embarrassing that this took that path that it took um I mean if if you told me that this was thousands and thousands of dollars again right um unfortunately you know a lot of people lose their lives and and I understand that you know maybe the town looked at it as you know every time somebody dies in the middle of her you know we're not going to go ahead and you know these are the tax uh the taxpayers money I get that part but this is not the case um so I again thank you appreciate it Helen the letter is perfect and we'll make sure we'll include this at our next uh report to council meeting okay um do we want I mean I put you know do we want to put like everyone's name or just the neighborhood Improvement committee no yeah when you say neighborhood Improvement committee that that I don't believe there's anybody here that has a different uh opinion or or a mindset on this yes at the end they can be signed and then once you have it typically what I do is I sign off on it and that's it must agree to support no everybody yeah there was no most everybody agre yes well it's going to be it's going to be presented at the next report to NXT report to council so with a report I'm gon to Pro this you drafted this on I'm sorry you drafted this very good job all right so any additional discussions um I think what I will do there's one word I want to remove a recent decision I'll just remove recent and I'll modify the ending um so it says sincerely neor Improvement committee and I'll send isab we're yes once you once you send send it to me and I'll sign it and send it back to you have a copy with me the day that I report the councel and you know we we'll put a part of the uh okay all in favor say I the GU no you guys haven't okay leg awareness and how to protect our waterways Miss okay so last meeting I I spoke about um I mean I set I don't know what our stage we're in um okay uh at the last meeting we we talked about the memo about the fertilizer ordinance and I think that one was approved it was the other one that was had to change some so think they submitting it it's well it's not the next counc it's our next report counil n report counil yes so so the memo is was approved and and like I said 30% okay so it's ready to go I remember it right so so do you want me [Music] I I wrote it so I a who has a cup [Music] no you have a copy of that no okay I'll for I just sent to her and and and by the way um I I wouldn't mind at all um Felicia if you're present that day and I don't mind at all you reading on it and talking about it coming up to the podium same thing Helen um I know we talked about it that you wanted to be present as well I have no problem you coming up to the morium and uh you know read the letter yes for for the reports of council remember we talked about you say Hey you know if I recall correctly yes of course of course were you were you set up for what do you have it there I don't have I don't have a when do we report to counil uh report April 15th and then the report do the rep so we report to council April so that means that we will approve the report in the March meeting okay so this letter we want to wait until then or do we want to send it earlier it's a good point um it's a good point I say we S I said in the meantime right I said in the meantime yes finalize it and I submitt it to the town clerk part of the agenda want present that meeting I guess right that's what I'm saying correct correct if we can be present there you know to social board but I think what Helen's saying is the prior to the meeting to submit it through the court and to the council so that way they'll see it so maybe they can take some action prior to that meeting maybe management uh uh city manager can you know make some kind of decision their executive decision I don't know really that portion how it works um and then that way we don't have to wait you know four months or 3 months now for them to approve this yeah maybe there's a grant sponsor opportunity for it we wouldn't no no I'm so sorry go ahead no what I'm saying we wouldn't want to the letter it be sitting in the clerk's F until the meeting so if we can get it to them sooner like you said maybe they one of them will sponsor to put an agenda okay I can check on that beyond the agenda I think what hen's point is maybe there's a way that they can decide or the manager can decide allocate those funds without having to wait for the meeting I think that's what you you coming right so so yeah so the moment [Music] what um I think you know I think with the letter it's if anything um it's would it be possible that when you do submitted let them know that it's you know the wites of a committee that this could be done prior okay to or sooner than later right um I can give you on that I communicate with the Town Clerk and communicates you know with Council keep that language in the email right that's what I'm saying no no no no I know you can no just just a language because what I mean we're going to do this when we do the report to council we're going to read it there right however um when once it's signed then just send it directly to them and just put it in there you know the count the neighborhood committee right which is this can be addressed before the council meeting okay that's the whole idea no but we know you can okay all right um so nothing to do with the legal awareness uh Miss Salazar just basically the was approved so it's just a matter of so do we keep do we keep this for the next meeting or no that should be it we'll continue to bring it back I said keep it here until until until after well until after April after that report then we'll have an update if they approve not approve the about right okay all right 7D beautification and remaining electrical boxes so there was an email huh they're not here but there was an email I can try to I have question and concern see um if you want to discuss other things while I'm pulling up emailing if that's all right Hur no the what [Music] look I just I just saw it the because I kept it here so the bike ride that's in the 5th on event Bri it says from 8:30 to 9:00 a.m. okay so it's a vent right okay I can yeah I'll talk to you D about that so she for April 5th it said that says 8 a.m. yeah the April 5th fer hasn't been me yet um we're bringing 7 back to the next meeting or yes same as [Music] and I would say bring back 7B to keep it there until yeah keep it there until we uh so we have four designs that I was given um I don't know which one you all wanted one different the Army the other one is firefighters and police I don't know the other yeah the fire fire my concern is and my question is why the flower the guns are pretty the Roses yeah the Roses PE I talk to the designer I'm not sure would I mean I I like the ribbon the know colors but I don't know I know I agree with her though I agree and and that rose on the bottom it now that you look at it really doesn't it doesn't connect in my opinion with you I don't I like the the like big gun in the center to be honest like just like send in there yeah I I don't know he looks he's ready to fight yeah I don't know if I want that I don't know the aggressive the aggressive uh especially with all the shoo yeah I don't know if that's like the message we want I'm definitely yeah you know what I'm definitely now I see that I I'm with with uh salard that those Roses really don't unless we can get a message from her as why was her Rosses right inspiration me I agree with you it doesn't yeah it doesn't go explain right right impact you and speak to you right it was a maybe what you doing [Music] what do you think rather trees yeah yeah it makes it yeah there's no no I agree it softens up the I think what H said right it softens some more the the image but I don't think that's the idea of that image to soften it up what is the one behind the one with the the to the right is that with the right the first respond no no the same picture that you sh the military one yeah it looks like it has one of those uh rocket launchers it does look like yeah where's your rocket launch no no that's that's not a ro that's a machine G I mean just background you know that pops the images I mean I you know I'm telling you this because I've seen design the flowers yeah I think so the background is okay the background is not bad I think the flowers are definitely are the ones that we need to know I like the eagle the FL the FL yeah the ship on the back all of that looks good and the flowers ship relate that because it's military yeah you got you have air right you have air SE and uh five branches and yeah but they're they only they're covering three l sea and air right and the evil all of I my biggest thing with that is like I think the gun is a little too aggressive I agree maybe just move it a little bit behind the helmet back here kind of like the other guy yeah I just I don't know or in the front too I'm more okay with the one behind than the one in the front how many traffic boxes is it remov it I is it one well obviously one is going to get applied to each or well I think this one we're targeting that fire station uh the one that's right across from the fire station yeah they're going to look just like that plane with like a no no no color there be colors they're going to color no no they're going to color yeah which by the way yeah why they bring in color they just want to go first so they wanted to make sure it was okay with this and then colorize it after right so I'll go back and ask about the flowers and then if possible I'm not sure if any further at is can be I I'm not I my recomend this is a final I don't know I'm gonna Che I just it's not it can be made I don't want to promise anything about just let him know that the lower right corner needs to be real okay lower right corner what's in the lower right corner the sh gu with the oh but that's not lower right corner that's the middle that's the middle you take the flower the only thing saveable is yeah definitely I think find out because we may be opining about this there's no change um definitely the flowers and and and and the gun yeah I can ask about that I'll ask you the background is nice I think back I think people are fine with that and then the other one the one all the way to the right they can move so there's two firefighters no no this this I think they're First Responders so this is police and the other one is there two the one on the left is fire also which one fire no there's no fire there the same oh it's the same one oh and do we know why how many are they do we have those that are the notes that's oh there what is that yeah I guess the roses are part of the this is what the other one do you know how many were they do you have that number I would have to check with I I don't know where we are these design just gonna ask which one of well here the questions one is how many are they two um where was it finally the location I I don't I really don't recall um and and depending on that I presume because now you have three First Responders two fires one police mhm um and and then the other one's in military great okay all right definitely the roers we need a little more feedback on that like a feedback to like something else no I think just removing they're fine just removing the Roses I think we're good with the design and then your gun guns and flowers there we go that's where it's from there it is that answers our questions guns and roses wow okay the next one is we're moving on to vote on that or no no I don't answer just a comment that you know yeah that's pretty simple 7e ways to connect to the community so we were going to discuss that last time yeah we we were since you missed that me uh want to you want to good would do you want to proce proceed with that um because I know we talked about the different ideas that we had and all of that so um yeah the topic were ho assessment new laws brain issues subtility issues and then there was a recommendation to add okay wait let me okay what meeting dates no no I know but that's what we needed to right we needed to kind of like choose the dates yeah to see when we're going to have it oh for the HOA correct we were G to combine it all right it's one okay so that's connected to item f as well um maybe we we wait for f to talk about h and eat anything beyond HOA any other way that we want to connect with the community do we still want to do that survey I think after that meeting I checked because like people constantly give their feedback on the Facebook group um it's pretty consistent with like what people the changes that they're listening for um something that's about to me is like obviously like there's there's just so many I walk shoes like that's like the biggest gu wow I didn't know was that big right because of the roots uh Roots um I think because of the blastings and stuff in different parts of the Town forget that um I don't know if we need a survey or maybe we just need to monitor that group a little bit more and and kind of come to these meetings like with an understanding like hey we need to we need to kind of review this and and see if there's anything that we can do yeah another complaint that I've heard is that some of the sidewalks are not just the cracks that are they're not clean I heard that so it's a trip it's a trip Hazard very slimy okay so ho8 we got then well we have well we have here the h8 new loss drainage issues subterrain utility issues and then the survey but I think you have a point I think the survey is probably maybe he's going to take us out there m uh too much I mean I think those those uh I think those topics just got off with are fine other than that we would have to ask town uh Town staff you know what are the most complaints that you get here yeah um I think there's an app what we don't have the we don't have access to that I believe it still is it's still no it's not an app anymore I think it's a website they got everything got updated I think it's a website you know what the how do we report issues to the town I remember talking about tree concerns subit a request okay think that's infrastructure issue tree issues pedestrian perspective code violation so you know what you know what would be good can we get a report I think I like that idea from last year on that platform where people send their requests on issues that they have I think that will be a definitely a good start I actually that's a great idea because it's already people yeah it's people my sidewalk my this my that we already had the data selecting which ones and and and I would say that that has been functioning more than six months if I remember correctly so just 12 months of reporting should be fin January 1st 2024 through December 31st 2024 so I said let's table this one let's wait for that report okay and then we go from there awesome okay uh next item meeting um I think these two both go together we can combine them I think it's okay to separate them separate yeah I I know that we talked about it in 7e but I I think we can separate the 70 70 is the one that we're waiting we're going to get the report right the report correct and so F will keep it to just the h meeting um which makes sense because I think 7e like it's not just the the h a meeting that way this one can be a little bit more specific um so we want to make this the ho meetings because I I was under the impression that one of the reasons why we were getting this feedback from the community is to have that's correct is to have a topic for the ho okay so I think I guess we'll table this right right okay so we'll table 7f correct so that we can pick the topics based on the report correct uh the illegal dumping by Northwest 92nd Avenue do we know about that does that think who was the one I think that was Mario it was and and I think that um he report correct um what you call correct he reported that but I don't remember Mario it had my name but I don't ever recall and I think that I think that poran belongs to the so I think he did mention something like that that did not belong to us right oh no that's the green space no that's H oh that's H oh that's age so is thatman yes yes okay that was that was Martin I think that was Maro yeah okay all right so I set motion to remove okay second any additional comments discussions no seeing none all in favor say I I against all right the guys having and I'll call them on the side and I'll ask him to see if we're still having that issue if we do then maybe we'll bring it back okay and then uh item 7h Green Space near Northwest 8 s Avenue that one took it Mario resign office um I um actually spoke to him to make sure since this was his item and he was not a member of anymore right was to um to you know help with the verbage of the memo and I presented last time and there was TW was something to clarify so I said minutes uh yeah review n memo to the councel requesting for Green Space recommendation was made to add wording um clarification purposes and the request motion to the m to the passor so so um I'm going R has been changed it's just that print it and so they comments for this one will be table the item and then we'll have the memo at the next meeting for review what's up okay let the record show that Mr Frank all right yeah I I I think I have problem with okay so I I'll bring you back next right just basically on the nose the the memo [Music] will yeah I'll put in the agenda solar next to it okay we're going on new business uh 8 8A nxc report to council so one item we're going to report to councel is going to be item eight okay we're going to report to council also 7A I'm sorry these are the items that we're going to add so we can you know what exactly you guys want to see on that report to council um so S no I'm sorry 7B oh 7 B yeah 7B then 7 c s in seven in got it anything else no you repeat those again yes so the report want to add 7B which is I mean you just copy and paste the yeah then 7 c 7 H drop that um and then bring that back to the next meeting okay okay anything else there no we'll go to seven C uh a sorry AC election of the office [Music] prisions you nom to accept first yes oh boy I accept the nomination thank youus I'm coming back for you can you make a well let's let's finish on on on that um second second second by Helen um okay all in favor any uh discussions right all in favor say I I against thank you guys it's it's an honor to to go another year um you know I

favor say I I against no all right so the only left it's uh SEC the secretary uh okay you'll be happy for secretary uh I second that any additional comments seeing none all in favor say I I okay the against no the guys haven't um I think that's pretty much look um I want to say it's it's tough what we do you know as as as committee members um you know sometimes we're up sometimes we're down um sometimes we're we have 100 agenda items to tackle um and sometimes we don't so I I think I can say for this meeting um we've had some good things um put out there and um we're going to continue on having good things to put out there we're not the committee that strives for bringing a 100 items you know to the council and and get them all approved I think we're more of taking precise um very thoughtful I me take the steps when we put something and when we do they strong steps and and I think we're very successful throughout the years and we're going to continue on doing so uh we've had very good Dynamics in our committees every time I hear the stories in other committees and people fighting and arguing in that person we've been fortunate enough not going wor that we've been blessed that we've we've never really had that um and I must say that that I'm very blessed to have committee m MERS like that too uh so thank you so much for everything that you guys do I really really appreciate it um you know sometimes we may not have the quum but you know we're still staying strong and I'm going to continue staying here as as long as you know God and you guys allowed so that being said um we're moving on to announcements so with regards to announcement if we can please uh add for the next meeting to add on the agenda the re that installment but the when you readium of what would they called advisory boards for the Lakes maintenance um not sure if you guys heard what was going on last year but the council the prior Council before they departed members have departed or that Council pretty much um uh when by the majority of them and then new ones came in uh they voted against removing these advisory boards for the Leakes and for the guard houses which I believe they're the War um I wasn't very pleased to to hear that at all and I came to the meetings I express my feelings on this um I was one of the ones who started the whole um neighborhood Improvement committees I mean excuse me the the special tax in districts um and the purpose for these special tax and districts is because especially for the lakes lake Hill that L Patricia we did not have an HOA that will kind of control the funding collection process and the maintenance of the leaks uh so it was a long process it took it took it took me and the other uh owners um over twoyear process between knocking on every door signing petitions holding meetings in my house um it was a long process and and I must say I was to set the least I was very sad because apparently there were some issues on the side of the guard houses where now and don't Point me on this because I did not participate in all these meetings fundings were being utilized for things that were really not intended it was just a huge mess so I presume that the thought process for the council was that he want to deal with the headaches that he want to deal with with all these complaints and all these problems so they say we're going to take it away and of course by taking it away now the consequences of these guard houses um fed into the special taxing districts for the lake maintenance they say well if one is not going to have it then it's not going to have at all so they felt that they were going to have better control if they have the same system which in part I I agree that you know it could be challenging having one or two entities with that process and the rest of them they don't um I don't agree with that it it it pretty much even though they express that yes we're still going to listen to the people and the people can show up and and give us our feedback it's not the same it's not the same if somebody goes to a meeting or sends an email on that website says we have an issue with um Roofing or sidewalks that if there a letter right representing uh our view to the council in my opinion it's got a little more weight same thing that these um advisory boards because they really at the end of the day they have no power right they will meet they will decide like here decide on things that should be done and then that information will be given to the council and the council will ultimately vote on it but it's the same thing with the budget right you have all these budget Workshop meetings you can probably go in there and C with with two hands how many people show up to these budget Workshop the same thing would happen with this right they're going to have their meetings they're going to talk about it and a handful of people are going to show up um so I want to talk on the last meeting a little more details and I'm probably going to reach out to a few of these individuals that were not very happy they were a little more involved uh just so they can speak to you guys and and then we'll get the feedback to see if the neighborhood Improvement committee can basically uh write a letter and and I don't I don't have a problem and drafting that letter um telling the Comm the council look we're in favor of what the idea of these boards were if it's not I'm okay with that too um I'm still going to speak personally on that matter um but I still would like to bring it to you guys and and we love to hear your feedback so that's pretty much it which one were the ones that were dissolved the one for special tax District all of them well they were the special taxi districts were not dissolved what was dissolved it was the um advisory boards which was the Royal Oaks that have them um and then the special tax for the lake main was the two lakes lake Hilda and Lake [Music] Patricia vet Park vet Park yeah I forg like three special tax I know the one that had the issue a no something a I think I don't call me on that um section eight did that sounds like a no okay but again I I I was a little disappointed um perfect example which I will be doing you go by Lake Patricia now and I don't know if it was a cause of this or not but you look at the beach area and now the Wheats are crawling on okay so um it's not the same it really is not the same so but again I I'm going to bring it on uh the next meeting we'll have you know people talking that have been a little more involved and if you guys feel yes it's something that we can stay behind it because it's part of you know improving our neighborhood and just giving that voice um you know to to our to our residents then yes if not then I'm okay with it I'll still go up and try to you know Bight the real estate these wordss right any other yes will that I'm still trying get fun up this is a busy time of year with change over Administration and stuff so my head's swimming but I just got put on my radar meeting the happing tomorrow a workshop uh Lake H related is anybody else familiar no no it's happening here to read em I was hoping to some but okay never is a Town Council quity okay maybe it's an agenda item on them specific to Lakes and their H when is that next week tomorrow tomorrow 6 oh tomorrow tomorrow it's Thursday Thursday is that the new dat oh Workshop oh how about changeb Service District there is Patricia 6:30 to 8:30 is Catherine on there uh no okay I don't know if they C is that included in my think did what time does it start though uh 6:30 that's a decent time so there goes that's amazing I I would have love to be there and see how many people are going to show up I'm getting ready to to take over for uh the for nature for yeah the L cath one the guy that runs it now is um he's he's a good thorough guy a little bit Ecentric but he he was very concerned about um the meeting tomorrow I think you might be relieved that I don't it doesn't apply yeah it doesn't look like it I'm going to the yeah this is exactly what I was talking about uh these were the spal tax and

anything that I can to assist the board um I also happen to have a autism parent um meet up coming up on Saturday January 25th I just wanted I'm I'm not like presenting it officially as like requesting sponsors or anything but if there's anything that um you guys wanted me to share with our autism parents like about safety program anything like that I'd be happy to take some pamphlets with me and have it ready for the for the for the oxym parents um at our next event this month um you would hope brm I am not no um so I just have a a small shop here in the town of Miami Lakes but we before we opened a shop my business has been giv back to different autism organizations for the last eight years so we always try to look for something local we've given back to The specialman Advisory Board we've given back to play house we back to kids space check in your office your hair was different that's why I was looking at you I was like painting all day you were blonde blondish like that's why I had I had just had a baby when I when I donated to and she made some T-shirts for o right yeah so we we have a new um we have a new collection inclusive collection coming out on the 25th we partnered with a huge artist uh Fricks that he does like repat art and everything um so that's a really big collection we decided how would we launch it we would launch it with giving back to parents so we're going to have like we're going to have wine tasting all everything for parents so you're calling it an Autism parent Workshop no it's not a workshop it's just a Meetup so they can just gather dat it's the 25th how youn with you Instagram social media that's how we've been promoting time that's part of the mom autism Mom that's not part of autism mom's night out we had partnered with them before we always try to partner with different organizations so to help promote different ones not always the same one time um it's from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. and another public comment I have is that hold on and and where trellis College the trellis College [Music] yes 8140 81 8140 Northwest 155th Street it's where the specialty Smiles is the new one special the other thing and then the last thing I just wanted to say that um we just had our visit um as part of the safety program so my kids are still talking about that and they're super excited so that's another reason why I wanted to you know I know that it's kind of lost my night I don't know if anybody from the board wanted to attend the event and speak on behalf of the safety program or about you know anything that you guys have to offer but if not I would at least have like like we have raffle tables and everything we're going to set up so I would love to have like just something that people can take and learn about it that was it for me there you go I got it you got that on record right and you the the fers yes but we've been so fortunate to have sponsors come and cover some tickets so whoever wants to attend from this room just please let me know if you DM me text me if you have my number anything email me and you have a ticket on us because we just received a really nice uh sponsor donation for the parents like they said we don't want any parents not being able to go because of child care or the cost of anything so we've got it covered sounds like a great event yeah any range too well we say parents only just no of course no but does the child have to be a specific age or any parents any also I can also let my familyes know life please yes please let and Par go so that stay home books see out it's Wednesday oh I'm sorry and one more thing I wanted to add is since we give we always try to pick a different organization to give back to we're actually going to have a heart-shaped Ballot Box where uh parents can decide which organization they want to receive the donations for the launch of this collection so this is a collection with Fricks and it's called um well their handle is the inclusive Social Club but Fricks is the artist behind it and he's very very popular so so anyone who attends automatically gets voting the well there's no the name there's no name of the program it's just inclusive Social Club that's the yeah the people we're partnering with I don't know if it makes it easier to see like the invite does that make it easier yeah I'm like the one who who doesn't have Instagram and mind my fingers are all full of paint no whatever we can to promote inclusion that's all we thank you for coming um okay um hello my name Isis s I'm s of the wellness and martial arts program from the ofal wellness that's a hard name to say so we came up with a very easy Acron do in because we are doing a lot of things and it is there ini e WC company and we went to proposes as we've seen so much incredible results at the programs that we have at the city D and the divine Savior School increase propos increasing the frequency of the class twice a week not three or four times just twice a week because once a week sometimes it becomes a rebuilding Progressive thing every week you rebuild what you forgot last week rather than build on what you know from 3 four days ago it's just a matter of progress and helping them really become games so sometimes they haven't done it in a week and it's like what are we doing again it's not a thing that is present that they do at least more than once a week within a week it gets lost and then they do it twice it's different and in that situation we seeing incredible Improvement in better coordination skills better discipline better even attention because I know there are some of my students that they listen when they're with me they don't listen so when they're at home some of the skills don't transfer and don't stick don't cement and that's what we work with bcbas yes I actually with you and he some great so no and the idea is that I learn from the bcbas that I work with and sometimes I go to visit them to get more in depth knowledge of how to educate them because this is not a regular Kar we don't scream at anybody we don't grab anybody but in the end they have to use their same tools that I've been benefici beneficiary of for a lifetime through them they're going to adopt lifelong tools and things like patience things like posture the GRE that to be able to control themselves self-regulation is going to be the key for their survival in the society we are living in we are so many so tight so many things so we want them to adopt these skills the sooner the better we impr Pro I have one of my students she knows him on the w i got this year to brown belt brown belt he knows about a dozen Kata in our 18 Kata system and obviously he follows me through them but this is a complicated thing the MS that we do the kicks the the balance the things that are skills that are not sing for him to ever engage with somebody however we maneuver in a work environment we maneuver in a school environment Community environment is already 21 so he has already passed a couple important age milestones and they're more coming so these skills of self-regulation are very very very important so we really want to propose that to to the council to see if you guys consider it and then imp we have to decide the same day or a different day oh and the other thing more a matter of logistics um the time slot that we working we used to work 4:30 to 5:30 and kind of it was a deal do kind of gets the end of the the out and coming in it's is no problem committing to the program at the time that we're starting now 5:30 to 6:30 just getting to the program just overun hour um from wherever I am I've been in classes in Kendo in D nearby takes about an hour the density of traffic at that time and obviously it if it affects me it affects everyone else so I don't want people to have a negative experience come into the program traffic and becomes an obstacle becomes a negative thing to what do I do today do I have to take my son or daughter to program a lot less motivating so the motivation Factor through the window and obviously we've seen a decrease in participation because from nine there's about six that come and there's four STS and there's who that depends and Factor could be parent schedules could be a million things I'm not pointing in speci things but it affects me not my mood not my execution but it's a reality that it takes I got to put away three hours to really do an hour one hour program and it's you're suggesting on the weekend in of the weekend the weekends I want to steal the weekends from them and and again my wife you have to talk to her you steal me from my wife and then that would be something that different discussion a different pay grade I don't I don't own surve but it's just a proposal for your consideration because in the end it's a matter bu thing and where you can or cannot and the logistics of the space it's available or not but we seen incredible successes in the programs that do do anything more than once a week obviously when you're an adult and you're not special needs it's different you can focus I do um taii and different centers for um kind of health and for the citya and once a week is beautiful because you know I'm coming and coming a week and you think of a month you adjust you adapt you're adults you look at your account they in now so if they're now you can stretch them a couple of days but then what you do last week what you talking about last week they're not in that kind of time sequence you can proba t better night kind it's just a different um Dynamic and we want to make sure that they are benefiting as we''ve seen the benefits happen in other place that blow my mind and I invite you to participate and come some of these competitions that we do um we do not competition rather demonstrations um least there's one coming up in February I let everybody know about that schedule because we take to a tournament a proper car tour and real competition and my friend runs the car tournament so he allows us to interrupt take the stage and do our demonstration demonstration is nothing more than the class that we do every day so I don't have to learn everything new brand new oh the fall show the spring show no no no fast so they relaxed we hope that they relax but that's their test we be there in front of 300 400 500 people and then and then remember do the things that we do and they execute when they get home with a big gold metal from din yes sorry is this a program that's currently offered now yes okay because I thought I thought it was just um I had enrolled my son in the towns karate the the you know which one yes that one again um but my son he couldn't handle all the screaming all the shouting all the grunting so we would have to put the headphones on and even then he would just like throw himself on the floor and it was just like I keep hearing all the positives about you know martial arts for for children but then for him it was so difficult so I'm like I would love to find one that could cater to his needs that's not like every two seconds like yelling in in his sh with you where YouTube channel as you'll see because I documented first of all we record all the classes because I share the classes first with the psychologist to tell me look this Behavior try to do something to ad to adjust to that I don't scream at them ever no one ever punches them nobody pushes them nobody touch yeah except if I ask to please line up or whatever but interactions they're hitting me it is yeah I know P it was a brilliant business idea when I had it but over time yes but in the in the end you do want to give them the right goal to adjust what happens with autistic children is that they're born with a PTSD from birth they're wiring is not as you're supposed to do from the OEM from the manufacturer so we wanted to help them by saying hit my face it's not going to be here it's going to be like my face is not over there over here so something's off in the accelerometer in the compass something's wrong it does I don't need to know what's wrong it's just a matter of effort to go little by littleit and then go boom boom boom now they own that process they rewired and neuroplastic is what happens rewire the process the behavior and sudden that's the new behavior and this one's gone one of the fun things that I have that this always works at the first one or two classes I stand behind them and say kick me yeah and they all all of them go ins side they never kick behind it because they don't know how to adjust that motor that so it's not there so I'm safe pass it too but eventually they have to adjust and know they're north and south and east and west to navigate because not everybody's strong and big and can take a punch Grandma's not I want to be able to have them have the interaction you can have a six4 215 pound young man probably to be autistic to H over with Grandma because he might squeeze too hard I'm break okay so where's the classes now right now at the East Park youth center 6075 Monday the spot time they just from yesterday I mean Monday it's Mondays um 5:30 to 6:30 okay um yes are the spots should be from what I've seen with Divine Sai been really great um Sensei could you please send us what openings you have I know your SCH so we know what you have to see Wednesdays okay I'll send you a a a g what time would you prefer just so know we can go to the because usually all the programs are in the afternoon are running either right after school 3 3:30 4:30 or if we can do 4:30 to 5:30 again I don't mind the end I'll just drive and that one gives me about three hours the next program which is at 7 in the evening 43 is that okay Ian but no later than 4:30 so it doesn't throw everything about five six it will show they will throw everyone into r both ends yeah and the kids have a big law between allows to be an excuse to get you out of work a little better what I do remember with the 4:30 at first some of the parents are like oh it could be a little bit later because some kids are adults so Tech yeah and some do live in this like so most of them in town yeah for the most part they could be in the evening I don't know if you do evenings at that location that's would do early in the evening: something like that that way if it works I don't know how I would have to contact them the space is remote there's no uh person there while I'm there five or 5:30 whatever the schedule is so I open through a need me for the key and then I open and I leave it there and open AG rang um again from 11 to 101 because it doesn't really discriminate but that just different people different ages different in the Spectrum in one have an 11 year old and 25y old but you start seven like seven eight years old right that age is very difficult to really get them to engage with larger kids you got to get intimidated just by the fact of the space so I put it to 11 more a you know that way so I have a couple of questions so right now you have we have Mondays from 5:30 to 6:30 correct yes and what you're proposing is another class or this same class twice a week to change this time and then another class correct so twice a week twice a week and move this this current one move it a little earlier different time and add additional one right so the one that we already started last Monday you want to change it to 4:30 to 5:30 cor and then additional class yes one the same time 4:30 5:30 hopefully on Wednesday hopefully on Wednesday how many um signed up for the class on Monday I've had six students come in the past that's thing we starting so have to get them to get started yeah what's your limit the space um we work with the communities with municipalities for simple reason that they have a compli spaces so whatever is stamped up here by the fire department have to comply so if we can fit safely I group in that space we can fit another easily five six kids yes um so because I get out of school at 220 would you have any classes that let's say 230 see that's what I'm talking about yeah that's the demographic no they're available from that time forward so anything again they have to get you there we don't have Transporters yet and more like at 3:00 so you get about at least half hour to have somebody get to where you are take you to where you're going so you put it at 3 3:30 which is fine I do actually divine Savior from 3 to 4: and I get there at 2:45 and set everything up and then and I leave that's a different area not the one that we're talking that we do corre right I'm just saying explain the just in case he thinks that you do that yeah no I don't do that here and by any chance did you talk to the parents on Monday that you might be changing the time just the frequency and then I told them I'll tell them what we you know receive from you and your guidance and we have a WhatsApp chat group so as soon as I know anything bur from you then if there's worth communicating then we communicate there's no change there's no change it would be nice to know if they're okay with the new change oh they're very much into it they're very much looking forward to increasing the frequency confused are we talking about the same group twice a week yes yeah okay okay so it's just okay yeah it's not a new class it's the same class twice okay and at 4:30 to 530 correct that's time for everybody and and to add to that even the karate program that we have at mer colins it's also twice a week you have the Monday and Wednesday or you have the Tuesday and Thursday so okay the normal thing in the end truly if you really want to train because again this is not to train for competition for competition I train six days a week I mean at this age I do it because it's what I do it's part of my my job part of my life so I was just I just because when I asked before I said is this for the same class or new class I you say is it's a new class no new in the sense of the got it yeah just the semantics the logistics we are good word so the competition is the kabushi right uh the next one that's coming the kabushi C yeah it'si a o b u s h i and we'll be attending that and then depending on how they few because I invite all of them and it's up to them to show 15 at and allow me to share my business card if you need to that way just copy and then just take a picture person that where you can see the YouTube channel instag address everything else paper thank you oh that one right yes so before what he will send is like a grip I mean he already kind of gave us a time anyways but he will send us like all the time spot that he has available since he runs different programs different I can already run this timeing Parks but I can't confirm no no no of course I'm just saying that's how exactly thank thank you again information is it and this is what we hope that every parent asks as many questions that you need to know because a lifelong thing doesn't stop insire okay do we have any more public comments I'm closing public comments moving on to item five approval of minutes I wasn't here so did you guys the minutes I wasn't here that [Music] to special well you can finish the report your meeting before still so as long as it's submitted by that are you talking I think it needs to be yeah but I think it's supposed to be sent to them two weeks prior to the Mee the thee report the deadline it has to meet the deadline and yours is the six so as long as you get the deadline is the six third week yes that's you report the 18th with the is that that's that's right I because now they changed it now the council meetings instead of being the second Tuesday third yeah yeah is there a motion to accept the meeting minute motion accept any sec I second all in favor minutes pass on to 6D new business Cara dojjo um we already heard the presentation um let's discuss I think that we have the information do we need anything else we can't vote on it today until we get more from parts and everything they agree need a motion to ation to approve 3 4:30 to 5:30 you pass Wednesday that's what you well we're not going to know that until on it and then if Parks agrees with it then it's then then it happens we can make it that way or we could wait me personally about wait wait okay okay would you guys know no it's fine I'll let you know next okay uh 7A Old business safety program update officer Amad hello hello happy New Year Happy New Year to everyone um so yes we're at 17 particip and on December 13 I spoke um we had the coffee with the cop and I was able to give out our um pamphlets that I had gotten from from our chair few days before and that was that worked out um I just want to say that we transition now to the sheriff but nothing's changed same thing we were always a sheriff per se CU now the verbiage is official so nothing we don't have to change anything on our application none of that I want to say when everything runs out like like what we have when it runs out then we we should update uh the stuff that we can we should like the actual application um whatever on the yeah whatever on the website just to um whatever we can we should and whatever eventually we need to we should at at some point but it's not something that is you know 100% right now right now nothing changed on on the legalities of that on that Dynamic but it should reflect this the Sheriff's Office deputy sheriff and all that okay I have an update about the grams you discussed last meeting about emailing them as a reminder to Residents and they said that they have concerns for the apartment community specifically for the decals um I guess they're not allowed to put on their doors or in the hallways those stickers so um if they can just have the wristband and just register without the whole gcal that's what they're kind of wondering are they're more concerned with it's a permanent thing or having it displayed at all the exact language is while we think it's a great initiative and understand the need of this for the community we don't think the program as it stands works well for the apartment community we are particularly concerned about the sticker piece we do not allow residents to put stickers on doors and we feel that apartment hallways are very visible compared to homes maybe we can offer them to register and receive a wristband only the thing is I think they're they're they're getting stuck on the fact that we give them the stickers but the stickers don't have to be placed because everything's voluntary regardless and I think they think that if if we give it to them they have to they can if we have someone in the GRS um Community we can tell them listen this is your speaker but you're they're not allowing you to put but still registered in the system and if there's a call to this location it's going to register what matters not the speaker with a rband in that sense so that part good that's not yeah they don't have to the space be part of the program that's just like something additional and people people talk like they want to put it on the car you know looks like something special [Music] related thank you officer and on that note uh our upcoming event our upcoming workshop on Saturday this Saturday uh due to lack of entrance we're going to have to cancel so I make a motion to cancel that workshop and it wasn't for Saturday it wasn't Saturday Thursday Thursday sorry Thursday we did have an interest from a vendor
