committee chair meeting report last Monday I think it was last I lost track um we had our Bly committee chair meeting when I say quarterly it's more like half a year now uh basically all the chair all the chairs for the Committees get together to give an update to the town as well as all the other committees on what's going on with our committee as well as get feedback to the town staff and get feedback from them regarding our committees uh one of the things that they discussed was we need to start working on our budget not this meeting but next as early as possible for our next budget year so that's something that we need to look into as well as they like everything that we're doing there are that we need to look into possibly getting rid of events and when I say getting rid of events getting rid of events that are not successful anymore um I brought up the idea that we had talked about about the holiday festival um for this upcoming budget year for the next budget year and they jumped on the idea the the town jumped on the idea they love the idea they love everything about it they want us to hit the road running they already knew about it before I even spoke about it because they saw our minutes from our meeting and our recording so they like it they want us to run with it another thing possibly talked about is getting rid of movies at the park because now it's taking up money in the budget and unfortunately we're not getting people to come to movies because of Netflix and all these other shooting platforms no one cares to come out to watch a movie on parking but that's something that we to look at when we start talking about budget um other than that oh another thing I did confirm with the town every dollar that we make at our events when it's fundraising money for example we sell food or anything that money goes straight back to the community use okay does not go to the to okay the the to manager confirmed that to so every dollar that we make we can use towards our events so how how how are we going to get back the what was it the was the 4,000 that we made last year yeah you have to talk to them to see because it's supposed to come back to us and I know Nancy was there is it retroactive or it retroactive but they told me from what they said it goes back straight into our committee account so you can look into that earning last year we made 4,000 with the spring yeah wow yeah that money just not so they're not going to give us more money for this new festival thing holidays we just have to we can request anything we want in our budget I remember we had we have um family food trucks offered to do a lot of the work for us and help us we been kind sponsorship so we can also in PR that too um but they definitely like the idea they they they seem to like jump quick and these we're talking about it goes back to sprinking so we use it only for sprinking yeah basically what's supposed to happen with that money is that money is supposed to cover cost from the event and whatever is left over from our budget we can then move to other events oh to other events yeah so the process of using money in events is first come sponsorships sponsorship money has to get used automatically for the event no matter what sponsorship money cannot be left over from the event if that makes sense they're paying for the event or to be a part of the event that money goes to the event then comes in your revenue from the event if you make money from it that also goes into the event whatever money's left over can be moved to other events throughout the budget and you could correct me if I'm going next meeting if you want like [Music] any questions regarding that cool that event or that meeting was very productive I know Mom and ants was there it wasn't a bad I didn't argue that meeting that was probably the first meeting I've ever argued in I know am he got the point across and they didn't need to AR I got compliment from the manager for the first time ever oh wow instead of fighting but whatever I'm sure it'll be different next [Music] time uh yeah so that's it for me uh any other questions regarding the committee chair meetings no any comments from you Amor since you were there no one of the events that like we decided like other movies at the park was likeo right that was one that was discussed yeah so we actually did talk about Bike Rodeo at that event and they or at that meeting I would recommend not getting rid of it just because it is one of the only safety events in the town um and last year we had our biggest attendance that we've had in many many years and they liked that we had a good attendance from the past years so I don't and right now it's going to happen this year either way because it's already our budget so we could always look into that mind if all right we move on to item seven sponsorships I know you guys went out and did your sponsorship did you guys get anyone uh I don't know if there anybody give you anything yes I know we I spoke this weekend I was in contact with um Eddie sedo phone call we CH a little bit and about sponsorship and we discussed that I I think he dropped off the back yes he did was he for specialty smile yes yes oh so he's going to help us out yeah so we we now have uh two we have one from B Pediatrics which was picked up by misso uh for $500 and then we have one from specialty Smiles which is a sponsorship tier for $1,000 so we currently are in the green with 1,500 and plusi we have yeah right I'm just talking about the additionals we already knew about more I I had the meeting but it was just explaining everything and and the sides and they went and I looked at everything um but nothing was done at that moment he said that we're going to take it to their budget and all that and then ele yeah that was but I I haven't heard anything after there so I I'm assuming no yeah I wouldn't I wouldn't even bother uh at this point well not this Saturday but next Saturday is the next don't they do their own that's the thing they do they do that was part of the thing they do a huge event there at you know and they they really have to focus on that that but I was going be hitting them up next time for something else that they don't do you know an event that we do they get invol the holiday the holiday through the chair I do want to say that many of the committee members and myself we did spend about almost two hours an hour and a half out there on Main Street and we hit every single business we went all the way from one end Main Street all the way to another we went into every business whether it was a restaurant or an office whatever it was you know we spoke to someone there we dropped off a packet um so I just want to you know share that that effort was made I mean unfortunately it didn't bite as much as as we would have we can try hitting another yeah that's I say don't stop there you have to go every all the local bus Main Street just one small part of the town as as someone with with you know some experiences with sponsorships you will be more successful in hitting up uh areas like doctor's offices Pediatrics orthodontist attorneys absolutely you you'll get a lot more out of that so just something for you to think about not even for necessarily the YF but in future references this is something we have do that's definitely a place you want to consider like those people buy McDonald's which ones oh Banks too banks will also Banks too Banks as well yes there's like an eye [Music] doctor doctor there there's a general practitioner there and and they have eye doctors as well there uh as a matter of fact Christina Kristoff which was which is a a dentist in or sponsor she used a sponsor be on this committee as well correct correct so yeah most definitely that that you will have better chance of success Yeah question is it too late to to get well for the spring fing I'm going to assume yes but still get sponsored it's not too late even for spring fing I could get a sponsor the day before now we have okay absolutely the only problem with sponsorships later is the advertising of sponsors right is there a packet or something need your email I'll need your email okay and I'll send it to you happily didn't you send it to the whole company he did he did s you s it he sent it to us already you sent it the yeah we did the yeah regarding sponsorships don't think main Street's the only area there's businesses all over the town CU a lot those retail shops are struggling themselves they don't have any money that's what we found and a lot of the business owners weren't there at the end I heard the a no no no of course we didn't we left pack and we even like if they said like a we were like a couple SPS that we went to when the like manager or owner wasn't there we would be like the person was like oh do you want to take a message and we just number give him your phone numbers that's fine just so you know guys I did get um I did receive a couple of of interests not so much with the springling but just uh in reference to the the events that you guys host uh Prestige windows and doors which we were in contact with last year M something happened there uh there was a lot a loss of communication they they communicated back to me and they're interested for this year's coming events yeah okay so that's all your do thing Perfect all right we'll move on to item eight which is stringling so the event is not this Saturday the Saturday after who from this committee will be there I unfortunately will not so I think I already I think I'll be it's the 30th the 30th I have to check my I'll be done um March 30 March how many volunteers do we have for spr okay before I say the number oh how many of you believe that the gentleman to my right will be satisfied 85 have registered fantastic 85 have have register just so you guys are aware last meeting we had four yeah and and guess what it's Gonna Fill right before the Thursday before it'll how many did we ask for 100 oh we there remember 75 pony rides out of the 256 according to the numbers that I received from Allstar event that they can do within a 4our uh event we have 43 tiet gets sold out of the face painting uh which they said it was uh the number was 80 within the 4H hour period of an event we have 29 keep in mind that we have another full week and as we all know because the majority of us here are are Latinos we know you know we do things at the very last minute purchases the very last minute so those numbers will definitely Skyrocket yeah it's looking good with Theon was 43 out of how many how many 256 Ernie you get so people heart attacks why because you cancel the event s out the calendar inv can something on the calendar invite and it said the sprinkling was canceled I got like 30 calls no no no no no what I my apolog what what I did our vendors you scared our ad just so you know what I did is I I created another one and once I created that one the one that was there before I deleted because there was there was an error everyone [Music] SC yeah everyone Sor family food trucks is excited we're ready to go did we ever get the did stuff from him he told he told uh officer Amador and myself that that uh the gentleman that was with a will be taking care of the music so I can talk an update on the on the stage um I spoke with councilman Josh Diez he put in the request like like two weeks ago I just saw him again two days ago okay and I was like yo Jo what's the update he told me that the commission had agreed to it that he spoke personally to reene Garcia and that he was in and that he would follow up and let me know by tomorrow he's going to follow up with their team to make sure it was reserved but he sent out the email and he spoke to the commissioner and the commissioner was super cool with it so I'll let you know by tomorrow hopefully they it was like the team said that I don't know that they're going to put it in the calendar so we got to take it we got to take you know take it for for their word if they said that they committed and they're good that that's all we can do is expect right the St have we received the eggs yet oh about a month do we need to put anything together absolutely nothing they're pre they're pre pre decision hey since we're kind of talking about the event uh we we did we did say that we were going to provide Waters and and beverages um remember we now have $1,500 to play with do you want to con uh leave it at that just bever just for the kids or you want to supply maybe I don't know like a granola bar or something you know what cost buy the big box of the chips like snacks are you talking about volunteers we don't need to do meals Fe the volunte they say feeding them we were only we were only supplying according to to uh what Brian had mentioned and you guys came into an agreement with water because we work short monies we weren't going to be able to get anything and what was of importance at that point was sfm the maintenance pickup L big up now that we have additional monies I think Brian shot a great idea here to maybe go a Costco and and purchase you know several boxes of bags of chips and just buy them with that just something that kind of because we're not giving them not anything right no it's a short yeah that by one or two it happens so the the the event happens so fast they're not going to have time to to want you know end up taking aak but it's from 8 to but starts we wanted them what time did we0 7:30 and 7 7 to 1 assuming we don't have to do pick hours guys what are you talking about yeah need to eat something in five hours teenagers okay like I said there is money we feed them last year we did feed for we did we did we did pizza Bak we did Vicky Bakery and we did pizza this these kids cannot work for five hours so like I said I have I have monies that we can we can work with it's up to you guys if you guys want to vote if you need me to pick up something at Costco I can pick it up to get a Costco wouldn't be a bad idea simply because they have bulk they you the pizza there is cheaper you can get the pizza there [Music] $10 I can go pick it up you guys me I think we did C Pizza one year you you ladies and gentlemen you guys follow about let me know so how much money are we going to we currently have right now 1500 all the money that we save we can use out we're not going to spend well we can also use that money for supplies for the many too keep in mind that that Michael Lee the owner of Papa jobs gave it to us for $7 a larm that's it's right here we do have cases of water remaining we do have cases of soda remaining from the um moving to the park we could use that and if he need to purchase more we can how much pizza should we order for how many boxes I can do I would say if you have 10 slices in each box no sorry eight slices in each box you order you order maybe 12 or 13 20 25 P Everybody Eats pizzas everybody e it's early in the morning guantee keep in mind not a lot of children are going to be as hungry not a lot of children are going to have the interest of eating te piz is fantastic how much were those little kitas from from the holiday Bakery but you have to here's the thing you have to remember these this event ends at around 1 or two you're in the middle of the day these kids are want to go straight home they're not going to stay there for food to pick up it happens every year that's why I say you maybe buy a few like like and if they want to they can go buy food at the food trucks that we're going to have there that's true too or or we can we can uh it'll be it'll be something that we have to work with like yeah uh with the monies that we have we can maybe get yes for the for the food oh I think that's like you give them a voucher and they go to the food truck and they what they want that's we have to talk to Oscar about we can but but they but let's you know let's come up with something soon because you know next week is right around the corner do you want to do a volunteer uh meeting I if you want we could do it next week I won't be here for the event unfortunately but I'm here till Thursday okay or until Wednesday I think Thursday okay so if you want to do one next week you guys want to just do a rundown with the volunteers for this events and we yes we did right before when we did that when we did that last year was because we correct we don't have the eggs but I still think it's a good rundown to can we do in the morning of when they get they're just hey this is what you're going to do today I don't think you have to have a separate meeting for them we could we could there isn't a whole lot in the morning yeah exactly so you have the meeting in the morning yeah officer Amador can you um can you assure you your yourself or someone to be there to try to talk to the kids and let them know you know just what had happened what had happened last year to kind of make sure that that may not happen again and that there will be maybe um assistance by having law enforcement within the stations we're set because uh the town says on the town website says 9 to one yeah we're set up from 8 to2 so at 8 everybody show post to 12 I mean you at 10 but the eggs AR GNA come out at N9 no come out like at 10 yeah 10 because they not people running do you want to set up the uh which you just gave me a really good idea Umstead of having the eggs already there you want to have it you want to have the eggs distributed in the stations 20 minutes prior to the the yeah in the boxes just have the boxes and they throw right before we start perfect right before closest to the starting minutes beautiful yeah that will be perfect beautiful most of the Manpower is going to have to be in those areas okay yeah cuz that will make sure that people don't come in before the way that we had last time what I would huh I would say that we should do even earlier than 10 because what H what normally happens is the people are waiting for the eggs and they don't get yeah you know they don't they're not at the lines doing the other stuff because they're waiting here and then they run to the line So the faster we do the eggs the faster they can do do the egg yeah so so okay yeah so earli I just don't remember that many volunteers she was like I thought we were the ones doing all the work we were doing all the work no we had a lot just sitting around doing nothing we should be the on supervising and they should be what also turned out well now that I'm thinking about it and and kudos to all of you for coming up with this uh our concern last year was as soon as the egg as soon as the eggs had been distributed and the uh the hunt was over the majority of the people would leave well now we're there're those that had purchased the tickets are forced to stay to to you know to do what they purchased to do right so it doesn't matter whether they get the edge you're not they're still going to be there after the fact and that's that's good that mean that you will still have a lot of people you know in the area which is you have to remember this event at the end of the day people stay and have a family day at the park anyway my going back to the food my problem with them doing going with the voucher that don't you need those volunteers working if they're going to go get that stuff you're G to have you're GNA have give out the vouchers at the end I think it's easier to well that or do the do the little boxes like we think before you're I'm being honest with you if I'm being honest with you this is such a short event I think if like mer bitos ketas little snacks I one you have to remember during Halloween we fed them at the end did you oh yeah in most years and recently is when we started giving him the little lunch box thing before that for years and years they got little snacks during the day and that was it pelitos or a bag of chips granola bars and they got pizza at the end that was okay so do you guys want do the vouch I'd say do the little stuff and we can buy stuff for the committee to benefit and grow our stuff that we have in our committee this is not one of those events that I think we need to spend $500 on people the the exception to to to Brian's point the exception is Halloween Halloween because the kids are there for a longer time so I can I can see that that where where we we should you know so what are we doing the vouches or what are we doing i' say just snacks I say snacks like those not those little boxes got from no no like yeah socky we have to order it I picked it up I feel like it's not enough like when you order I don't know I feel like it's so little it's so little the holiday gives you a little bit more I had to go get I I I had to go to Costco and still get chips and get I remember going Ernie I remember having to go to Costco to get because what we got from Vicky Bakery for what was for 50 volunteers it was like super tiny and then I had to go to Costco to get chips and get soda anyway so does it have to be from a bakery on not necessarily we just figured the the bakery food is press Bakery for all I okay I volunteered to to speak with some the owner of 186 Bakery is one of my parents and they'll give me a good oh great I'll figure something then what do I do I bring the budget back to the how it usually works if you pay for it you bring your receipt and everything and then you'll get reimburse and is there a a budget a limit as far as like the we don't want to go over I'm so sorry sorry what was that how how much theg she's gonna have them she's gonna and why don't you why don't you do this um uh have them right out um yeah and and and you know tell them what we're doing tell them what we're feeding yeah we should go for 100 even though we may get 80 or 90 we still go for 100 and uh see what they can offer uh you know whether it could be anything anything we have water to give them we don't have to buy water water we we will definitely have to purchase more water we don't have enough so I think now purchase just water andito water is the biggest water I'll take care of the pastries yeah as long as you bring the receipt then we reimburse you I this just make sure they don't take six months to re no no no no what I could do what I could do is as soon as you find out the price find out the price I can go and I could make the purchase and cred no we can't there was a there was a map I it had nothing to do with us but there was a massive issue with credit card usage from committees do we have an Easter Bunny yeah his name is he's the man I gota him yeah he said um we have special Smiles I believe they're doing arts and crafts man God bless those guys they're not only doing arts and crafts which is new which I think is fantastic they're also going to bring the uh if I'm not mistaken I don't believe I'm mistaken they're also going to bring a photo but I was told he going to do that instead of the photo but I'm not sure I could talk to him I told him if I had to choose I would love the Arts and Crafts just to keep the kids busy because everybody now have a phone everybody's GNA be taking their own pictures that's cool but uh I love the idea and he said that all he needed from us was uh to you know we make sure that we provide him with we can give him a good amount of of volunteers no because oh yeah could do one of them you have here here it'll be hard Brian because remember we want to separate Ernie do we have signage enough signage to tell people where which way they're going what age groups are with age groups that we have that we we've always had I know you guys wanted more but at the at the time we didn't have the money for to buy any before right we can do it now right now you probably have them next week what kind of sign like yard signs that show where like where to start yeah youever seen the uh H the H signs this is like zero to whatever right we order sign you want one for the P rides one for the I'll tell you what let me give me two and for the ticket colors too nothing that says parent free need elate you want to get rid of those signs right we have those yeah no parents yeah no parents but remember it says parent free zone I don't understand that tomorrow you probably get easy Ernie she knows somebody who has can do signs of another parent so we give her maybe a list of what we need let me let me let me find out what we have but so basically all Brian has told me is that he wants more signage for age groups age no I didn't say age groups I said age groups each section p and Zoo pony rides the tickets like tiet col for registration registration a code TW print all right so you want registration purple it was orange want a big one because that we can avoid a bunch of problems where because you had somebody in the line for a while oh I didn't know now I was in this line you got to let me go into one no you know what it says right there it's red if you have red you have red if you don't got that's it buy buckets for these tickets instead of little little Tu what you mean buckets just buy like $5 Like Home Depot bucket so they can throw all the tickets in as they're sting before they were using these tiny little Tupperware to put little tickets in garbage I have registration I have ages what else no parents no parents zone no make sure they make it all EAS adult Z so what do you want to say there no we currently have parent free zone no parents allow no parents or how about how about only that's positive kids only I do want to remind you guys for children with special needs we do have to put aside a box or two of eggs yeah we do it every year there's kids Anders that can't go into the grass and we keep some aside to give them an opportunity to get eggs registration ages kids only anything else that you guys can um line up here I don't know line Starts Here line starts here but and then the sign ticket so remind me because I like everything's open to me are we selling we're not pre-selling or yeah did they pay on a we're only taking cash and card on the spot yeah tickets are only sold through ping suits when are they all supposed to get there where the time that they were told to be at the like the the Ping they get last year oh last year the horses came like an hour they got they're after the event really I think they had a tire or something no worries I I will make sure that I we need to sign we need a sign with a a red ticket on it orange should we do two red orange and two of each ticket how about we do how about we put we we uh request a signage that says tickets and then we just print out the color red the color blue color yellow on a piece of paper no I like the Le ticket okay people don't me people are lazy and don't want to read you have to put a picture it's like when you go into a book and you see a picture B you rather look at the picture book words what is it red red orange blue H so check it out I have signage I have registration ages kids only line Starts Here pting Zoo Point your right face painter need multiple line Starts Here tickets red orange you have something we could have a food truck one with a arrow that points towards the food truck um Nancy will had a question thank you um my my question is um I didn't understand I have the registration desk confirmed for me the work the registration is because I'm camping walking around I I've always desk I'm sorry you can be there with our committee well usually you let me be there I've done it before and I worked the registration desk now at the registration desk they're going to ask maybe where's this where's that are you going to have M printed up that are you going to hand them out to everybody you don't necessarily you don't necessar a map I mean no but or at least one at the registration map for we minutes last time we talked about of stuff that we needed to change so I don't know if you want to hear those things so we can go over them and guys listen up real quick we need to prank codes on the big boards next the registration table and to have the QR code tickets ready um no parent signs are needed for the big egg about QR codes slow down we don't need no no we don't need QR codes this year yeah I'm just like reading yes codes at all because if anybody wants to buy tickets they need a q code to go to the EV does it close tell them not to close it please then we do need QR sign to be big enough next to registration table it it closes when and we should have the QR codes not at the not at the actual registration table but like on states where line starts because then that's what happens when it holds up the line where somebody wants to go buy tickets and then they stand there and they start scanning and they start buying it they should buy it already while they're in line so that when they get to the registration table it's just we also have a volunteer with or yeah someone in the line walk tape it on like the sign or get some blank signs that we can just print the Q code and stick it on the sign yeah a blank sign and you're going to do that ear you can print the QR code Al is you guys put on here last year that on the ticket we need to put the weight of the ponies we already have that we have already and then um refunds are let them know refund can we have a no refund sign add that to the sign refund we need like 20 are we gonna have two big pet inad no no no no we're gonna have we need two small ones that's what we put last year that was not discussed timers because remember people can only stay for a certain amount of time so we need timers wees we have we need barricades we a way of coining off the sections because yes Sor do we buy ction tap the the only the only um the only issue not issue the only uh thing that was requested to me by allar events was the following to have a certain area as to where the pony starts and finishes and as that that way they know the people who are providing the the ride like what their route is exactly so if it starts at this end of the table that me were ters at that's where that's where they go they turn around they come back that's it you know what I'm saying because if not something they may go longer and they may go shorter and they don't know so we have that that's about the only thing that I remember getting in terms of um um I guess using caution tape well also the caution tape for the egg sections yeah we yeah we have caution tap we a lot of C because we ran out last year we put last year something about that we should have a registration table at each activity do we want to do that I mean we should have someone there connecting the table more there were not enough markers Ork Forte it closes at 100 um guys do we be station already no we didn't I think we should because it's in a week so let's break down the stations and we can't be together we need is separate everyone needs it separate but I think if we have if we put the volunteers where they need to be like we should be going around supervising I we should be all roaming not everyone we should have some people who are in charge of certain stations who work with the vendors and the volunteers at that station to make sure everything is okay I'm okay with you R because you'll be on the stage and doing all that I'll be the wrong way are we do we have walkers are we doing one registration of course are we doing one regist yes I believe we did one Ariana the registration table for sure okay I put at least two at registration do thetion Cod just check them and give them AET and L never how that works because it's the three of us there and even regardless they buy it in front of us they wait they're just like no I'm buying the ticket right now like then you tell them to move to the side to be there with you cuz I know Mom and said onlys because we thinking you guys are not going to be together okay but we were thinking about like different lines for every you guys don't stop talking go ahead okay we were thinking about different L to everything so one that's a checkin line and then one's a purchase line but that doesn't say in order like I don't think understand there's no purchase there's no purchasing they have to buy on no but that's why we're going have it's going to be functional for like 15 you tell them to move to the side so you can check in the next person we should have people like volunteers at the line sending people hey so you know this is the line you already bought have a body scan here we have whatever you guys want to do you coordinate this it's not what it's not me it's you guys you guys want a ticket check or rtion sign and a ticket checking sign things like that I have a scenario I am a parent and and uh I was told that if I do the pony ride line uh there's a QR code I scan it I am now getting ready to make the purchase how will the purchas in line know that I purchased and where where do I get the ticket yeah they have to you have to go get your ticket registration table because each thing then that's exactly where there should be a table in every single station with one with the redit one with the orange one with the blue here's the problem tickets here's the problem with those tickets you could buy multiple tickets on the same order and that's the other issue then they make that's why you have one center registration table you can tell the people online hey if you don't have a ticket go get your ticket at the registration T and that's it I feel the sign fix is going to go like I feel like once you're all registration and you have like the color of the ticket like okay you get a red ticket if you're doing this event and you're getting an orange ticket if you do uh if you sign up for this event it says it on the sign read the sign like what if they just go to one place no but they got MTI but I understand the way that ear talk about think about if there's no but think about there's a table that in front in front of the station and before they do the line they check in with the person in front of that station do you get a ticket yeah they get a ticket and if they don't have a ticket they purchase it before they do the line so there's no complaining that oh I did the line why don't we have okay this is this is this that makes it comp but this is my vision so you have you have you have the different stations they each have their own lines that you have to make to turn in your ticket and go into it what I think makes most sense is we if we have one registration booth and you go there you show them your order we search your order what did you buy you bought three horses and two pett here you go and then they go off and do their thing why are we going to make them have to make two because the people show up at they they'll show up at that they're going to go to the pony ones they're not going to show up to the okay and problem here's the problem with EV once you check them in once because they can have an order of all three once you check them in once guess what it says they're checked off for every I have a solution for that one table to get all the tickets and then a simple solution at at the line one volunteer with a ticket at hand walking up and down the line make sure that if you're in the line you have a ticket oh wait I don't have a ticket oh then you have to go over there the next make sure you have a ticket because what happens is I've seen that and it worked and it's simple and it works is just somebody going up and down hey you know like this and then people are like oh what what's that ticket no they you need go over there to like and then if they were in the line they're in the line for 30 seconds not for half an hour and then they get to the front go try and there's going to be multiple there's not going to be one phone like last time checking in so there's going to be one registration table for this whole I think the registration T let's get two two six tables five people no not next to each other you want toad stage what what if we have the stage in the middle and you have one 10 on the right side and one on the left so you can have two lines in the middle you we have put it in the grass put a we place two t keep the lines away from stages that's a that's a better have it centralized have it and they can see it from everywhere they can see it so two tables there two registration tables who are going to be at the two registration TBL so we need committee members you two are one and then Ariana the other one all right now I have to speak mama is there to enforce the law Mama Nance is there to check in the people that are going to have tables or tents and that now if you're not doing that this year then there's a communication problem with forgetful NY so my question goes back to I thought I was just doing a registration desk for different vendors and people who had check in but now you're talking about people registering for getting on for getting Stu then I I'll do it but I just want to clarify it now what you want me to do all I need you is to bite people to make sure they're behav table I'm okay to either walk the reminding them I have no problem I've done it for food and wine so here's the thing with this with the event the only people that should be able to access the event are are committee members I can do it with on the other table I'll do the other registration two two yeah yeah two registration tables and then you can walk around I can do the walking around I have no problems doation table me and do you I need people for the egg areas I mean I I'll have it set up with the volunteers and then there's two there's the big egg area and then the other one can we get can we borrow from the police department a couple of stop signs or something that the volunteers can hold up so that we don't have what happened last year where everybody went without us we stop signs oh we have stop sign okay but the handheld ones [Music] oh um I need who's going to be I need someone at the face painting area one I need someone at the petting zoo I can be at petting zoo I can be at one of the egg areas so here's the thing these most of the time we don't open these areas until after the eggot yeah we want to do that egg and then you want to do that have all the Manpower in the egg area last year like I was at face painting last year but I did the yeah not after not after hey Rob is there any way we can get a couple officers at the registration thing yeah yeah there yeah yeah talking about announc at this time this at that time that because that way nobody can say oh I didn't know I didn't hear and now that you mention that just in case if you guys don't know I received the phone call I'm sorry I received an email from from a a sponsor uh asking why have I why has our name not been uh uh placed in the um in the digital in the digital fly I haven't seen I haven't seen my name I haven't seen my my company I haven't seen my logo well they didn't even well because first and foremost uh you didn't purchase one of the sponsorship tears but that's besides the point what I'm trying to get at is they do notice these things okay why why am I saying this it's important that we make sure that we make announcements not only for what's going on but for the sponsors for the sponsors they do notice okay it is extremely important these people are providing dollars to make our our events that much more special so it is up to the committee to make sure you have a listing you can put it on your notes on your phone saying by the way I would like to thanks I like to thank uh Miss's company i' like to thank Angelica's company i' like to thank Brian's company for being out and you know things like that I did notice Memorial Healthcare is not on that fer I they the biggest they are our title sponsor know they're not oh they're still they should still didn't we move it to make them the title sponsor I like remember that we Emil or else that another event I think honestly but they're not on there and they've been sponsored for how long are sure they're supposed to be on the absolutely same with the grams the grams give us a parking lot for all these people but they should be on that's the you're right you're right I'll check um anything else so who at the beginning I'm sorry what are we all doing the egg stuff at the beginning and after the EG service over then we break up to the different but the registration TBL um I'm going to need so who's at registration and so two in each I need someone at petting Su I think you said petting Su I need you said face painting I need someone at horses I think we agreed an adult should be like that oh yeah what was that the only ad there have funtion take care obviously okay and then we'll volunteers everyone most of the volunteers I'd say all the volunteers need to be in the egg areas at first yes we need to create a barrier if I may now that Brian mentioned volunteers please please and I think that this is going to work especially uh when and I'm going to use misso as an example I'm going use par as an example even myself or even officer Amador as soon as we receive the volunteers for Manana we need to make sure that they understand those wearing that that shirt are pretty much the persons in charge if they ask you to stop what they're doing if they ask you to get off your phone and they ask you to do XYZ you guys need to do that if you see little groups break separate the groups please because that happened to us last year where they were on tree it's expect I me it's expected so so you know and tell them to go home and they get nothing you probably you know they'll probably you'll probably tell to do to to to do something they end up doing that me don't what you ask them to do don't leave them like that either you know what I'm saying tell Hey listen uh Billy and and Amando once you finish doing this come back and go over and report to Leo you see Leo he's all the way over there he's the gentleman with the glasses he's got something for something else for you guys to to to do but but don't leave them just like that exactly keep them busy if not they're going to pop out their phones and they're start and they're put dances you know all that stuff we don't need da anything else regarding that any other questions right now so are we just going to have one Easter bu the whole hours or are we going to have to switch in and out okay so we can pick a volunteer one of us all volunteers get some fre hours wait just took clarify um so if I know we asked for the kids to get there at 7 right 8 [Music] o' I think a if they're going to get there at 7 I to get there at 7:30 I think that was the plan I'll bring through the chair question so right now does it look like we're going to have room in the budget so this is just an idea I wanted to throw out there um I and we do this for our events in EAB I feel like it would be really neat and it would be great for advertising if we hire a videographer um to do like a a a promo recap video of the event like when we have our EAB award tonight we hire him and he comes out and he does like a a nice recap video that we can post on the town social media pages and stuff the town photograph Town doesn't provide the town has a photographer but he does that for us he did that in Halloween too you did it for free yeah there are no more pictures there no they've done videos videos okay okay a whole Halloween Rec okay the top H another no no no need for that I mean the guy's Gonna Do videos already already to we'll be there okay sounds good quick so also please the music kids music please instead of no offense last year all they played was Hispanic loud Hispanic music which I'm not against but it's a kids Easter event you're saying no bad money I agree like for example for example for Halloween I did not hear one Halloween song come out of that DJ on that is true that not rob you had something you wanted to share so my major went to a park where we they had our Mountain Patrol the guys on on on the horses and um I reach out to them and they will be there for the event awesome be riding around that's that's [Music] awesome Yes it comes with the package they have to be there hours before because of stuff like that to make sure that they're ready and then even at the event there's so many that walks around with them because you know you can't control they have a little better hours I would typically the newest member on the committee is in charge [Music] of actually ited to be the newest M of the committee was the Easter Bunny that is right bun I did that Qui question where do I go [Music] everyone have the bonies you need wait Taylor's an adult she made it a Bo made that she's so actually I'm not missing the face painting because boms got into a fight in front of me last year and that and that is nothing that I'm not miss can't take that away from me well we'll figure it out not missing me [Music] figure out where we're gonna put the water for these volunteers where people aren't gonna steal them I'm imagining I use that word vomited desk and the vendors or different people coming and setting up if there's a me that is Handy to give not to the people people visitors will call them you know with their kids or whatever but if there's a map where you get this table you get this set up you get that tent whatever that if that's the registration then no I'm thinking of no no no come one of the committee members and we'll put them up their SP I'm sorry I didn't hear you they come up to one of us with a shirt one of the committee shirts and we just put them in their SP yeah all right now do you want me to wear my town shirt yeah so that it's the same color as and maybe I can help out all right awesome anything else you proba talked about it and I missed it what time do we record 7 [Music] 7 we used to arrive at 6an used to sleep over at that Park have a question the volunteer which time do you want seven we could get there before us to make us there 8:00 is going to be the meeting yes so what do you want to do between 7 and 8 look at that's what we do we've seen it we've seen it before it takes over 2 hours from sign in I'm not going to lie nobody 7 a.m. on the dot we you have kids you know no stragglers coming in you know they trickle in they trickle in trickle in and we have to be there watch them for an hour that's what we watch rookie question as always what is like the schedule for the date uh event starts at 9: starts at is at 10 and then it's a free for they have like the face painting the p the most uh the most but but the most expected thing is the stations once that is filled or done you usually see pretty much a good Des a good CH of people just for the experience the problem um anything else regarding this we need to get access to the committee members for event I think everyone should have access to it we can download the app we used to get the password and then they would put us in we have the apps I'll you I'll provide you with thew right we're gonna have officers have everything everyone kind understands the Plan Dress Cod is we're Ernie we'll get with you yeah we're comfy shoes probably going to be hot and human sounds good but I do need these two separated separation the reg serious you're not I'll and then and yours everywh guys just I will make sure I will make sure that they get every thank remember you guys are representing the committee in the town and the town can remove you like this different M yeah we we can tell how easily committee members get removed around I think that's good for right now move on to item n the only reason Halloween is on there is because up and I forgot to say it at the committee chair meeting they discuss planning events months and months in advance and makes it easier for the town when it comes to advertising and planning when it comes to our events so we want to set a date on and I I was supposed to put bike Rod deal on but I forgot um but next meeting expect to plan bike Rod deal expect to plan more of Halloween expect to plan the budget it's going to be a longer meeting because budgets are annoying um and we just got to go with it when it comes to Halloween we need to start figuring out sponsors for Halloween like ASAP Halloween's our largest event I think it beat Springfield last year expensive our most expensive event our most under budgeted event have um so sponsors we need Title sponsors if we want to work on maybe doing a sponsorship for each section of the event bringing in New Concepts through the event improving the event in general the chair can we have um can we start those conversations early with the grams about potentially doing it at Main Street I know they said no this year because of some constructions or that they were doing something they're they're going to and now we're pretty much established with the hi house and everything on that at that Park so I don't even know if it's a good idea right do have a question yes I would like to get everybody's opinion this is very very quick if this is just I something top of my head if Halloween was to fall on a Wednesday hear me out on a Wednesday do we do this event before or after unless it lands on on Friday it's over okay all right want to double check does it land on I believe so I think so we've done it or maybe it's it land on a Thursday okay yeah I'm doing it the day after R do unless usually there's no school on the Friday before there was most of the time there's like a teach workday for some reason we done that EV on Thursday usually when we do it on Halloween is when our events the most successful we've done it on a Thursday and how successful because there was no school on a Friday okay those kids came right after school and I've never seen us set up back can someone check that October 20 October 31st there's going to be Thursday no's gonna go on Friday so I'd say that's Saturday satday but that's hard for the kids in school next 2025 oh my God the only time we've ever done that where it goes on Halloween when Halloween's not on a weekend and we do it on the weekday is if the event on like for example the Saturday got cancelled then we move it the hallowing day on the weekend that's the only time we ever do that so for example we had a a time where Halloween landed on a Monday or Tuesday the event was on Saturday do I think we had a hurricane or something orther in weather we canel it and made it on the monay the Tuesday I think there's early voting around there it's it's voting careful we had to do it's voting that's the problema we can't set up oh November is elections presidential election November is not October October 31st there's no we're not going to be able to use a community center so cuz they put all the machines in there remember to we've done theast for that oh it's not at veteran okay never mind we're good not it's no longer at veteran but can we please reserve ask for few days before can we the T pavion oh yeah we need to reserve those we have to block we at the going we went a little bit off topic but for Halloween this year we need to start looking for figuring out what we want to do if we need to order more candy just figuring out hopefully we could I I think we should go light effects again the way to go they they bring everything for us I know um Family Foods offered the DJ stuff the light effects also includes the DJ I'm pretty sure so I think we go with them we're g talk about next meeting that's absolutely earlier we e goes because we can start booking people and getting everything all right we'll move on to item 10 announcements does there anyone have any announcements you're all boringly boring no spring break all these people Ariana Angeles Robert is [Music] here

uh Mr and do the chair real quick you don't have any staff updates sorry just yeah I realiz that um do we have any staff uh updates updates are usually related to so we address okay all right so we'll move on to uh item 7 a so good evening everybody So Yesterday coincidentally we actually had a teams meeting with Raymond valo from the Florida Department of Transportation local district office myself IL oras Santos and Olivia sha so we actually got our our feet on the ground as to what needs to happen to get this in motion to get it done and basically the biggest point of it is that we basically have to apply but in order to apply there's a few things that need to be laid out to get the application even approved or even accepted and those three things are we need to get a resolution from this the Town Council so basically we got to explain what we want and then they for Grant or we app for um we haven't touched that part yet we need to see if there's even going to be traction if the council's even interested because I informed me that they're actually looking to beautify that very space that we're interested in beautifying here so I wouldn't imag it's aall reach if if I recall didn't we discuss this that that area under the paletto was going to get uh some kind of construction and some kind of yeah a project already going to happen um so just a few things that are just tying in together um I know I think you guys had brought up the polls that Once Upon a Time supposed to be R had some type of art they were supposed to be painted and then we didn't get it approved from the uh the first grant that we got yeah so it wasn't included in that first grant some years back um as of right now my understanding is that sometime last year um and I'm happy to let you guys know what exact meeting it is I just don't have it with me right now at some council meeting last year I believe the Communications Department was actually G was tasked with looking into what it's going to take to actually paint those so they're already thinking the same thing as you guys so it sounds like that's something that they want to um see happen obviously right now um the director of communications terel has already checked out a possible artist that we could use for that um again this is all just working details based on what was tasked um from Council that kind of plays into what you guys wanted to do and also is part of the lighting because you would want it to obviously work together and the reason I bring that up is because from the presentation yesterday with f they explained to us that here were just to be lighting which you guys were talking about like I lighting is like a permit a separate permit application he it actually sounded like we had a better chance of having that pass from fot if it was supposed to be a community aesthetic feature which would be it would be a community aesthetic feature if it was the lighting with the art so sounds like we're on the right track if that's the way you guys want to go um so what you guys would have to do is present this idea of the lighting to be adjacent with the with the artwork and have counil just um just yeah and then um can we just tie it all in with with the the the poles the ligh and traffic no because they have the traffic uh so and I'm sorry one other thing that you're mentioning about the PS so no because that's County the traffic boxes the traffic boxes are that you guys did were count related so it's not the it would be yeah and then just so you know the other thing I want to mention about the polls um some months back I had told you guys this but I'll remind you that we weren't even going to get be able to get started on the polls anyways until some construction work that they're doing from my understanding they're doing like cement walls I want to say around where those poles are going to be so until those are not up they're like blocks I don't know how to explain but I think I don't know if you are there part of the conversation e statically doesn't look the point is that they want to see how it's going to come together because there's no point in painting something that may then be cover the idea let's see how that plays out and then we'll get an artist to do some artwork so that it complement whatever's going how do we vet the the artist like how how is he or she so um so basically they said we would submit renderings and then um our district office would distribute that to subject matter anal analysis and then they would vet it for whether it it like do they open I'm using an example they open up a uh a process where they have random artists just like apply and and well mean iel sorry I think Felicia felici I think she have the answer for that are you talking about the the area under 154 the original the original um artwork that we had there was the wrapping of the traffic boxes the painting of The Columns you know the pain columns didn't get no the pain in the columns didn't get approved from the first original uh uh grant that they did so then that also got stopped because they're going to do construction on them there so they don't want us to paint it because they don't know how it's going to look after the construction then the wrapping of the box like she said that's County that's a whole other no but we already have that no we don't not the one under the P metal there's one under the petal that's not yeah the one does rap Felicia it's it's a little farther if if you're heading west it's a little farther to the right hand side yeah right underneath the petals not by there and I saw theying I can pull up where they're at I don't I'm not read and I have actually under the one under the pom yeah I think it was W confused it took like a year to get from these are the pictures and I'm happy to it out it looks like there's one under that's I don't know if that's the one yeah I told you Mario maybe no no no I I took pictures like recently yes no that one's been that you about Rec I know the answer yeah that's the official letter that was sent from the town I guess after when it was done so they had one on Google a year ago I know yeah you don't drive by there don't those are the5 rock you're walking under and this is the letter that was given to there's no other one there's no other one on the phone thank you for the clarification I said that you were going to do our work here or just pleas well need to be cleaned up it sure does and we're trying to because I know that the concrete yeah so where are they going to put the wall on like yeah what type of I'm calling at a wall it's probably not the correct term yes it's like a a look where the are permanent or temporal permanent where the columns are yes why aesthetically is going to my understanding is I think they're going to no I think they're changing the Lings there so there has to there they might they're probably gon to make a the turning lane to get onto the pal to the the meeting and take some of that yeah it's gonna take some of them yeah they want to make sure that people don't so so would would it would it be safe to say that we we we need to pause until we see what's there or can we still go in front of Council without knowing what I would love to go for I we start with the light if anything we can start with the resolution and get the lights going like she said maybe gets passed as a beautification project we could get the lights going the lights won't be an issue because that's never going to go anywhere you know and then we could wait for they're done with the construction and you know beautify the rest um I'm happy to share the community aesthetic teacher uh presentation that they have with all of you you guys want to review it um but just a couple points I want to highlight based on the conversation we had yesterday and some other points that um staff has brought up um so we've already reached out to the company that that hiia developers contracted to do their lighting just to get an idea B Park so we're looking at $35,000 and that is just for the lights and the installation keep in mind that does not include um the electrician whatever they have to do that doesn't include um also something that I really want to highlight is that you guys have to understand that once we take this on from fop because right now that's that's in that underpass area is seen is overseen by fop so theyed and everything exactly so when we take it the town is saying we are responsible for for how much for rendering for setting up for maintaining for any damages pretty much for of the light itself of the light and the artwork the understand yeah but no this is something just to keep in mind right um so then that's kind of part of the proposal to councel they have they have to want the bridge not the bridge no no no just the en and what about the the ground as well and when we do the application they also ask for a bond the the town H agreed to a bond letter that covers f the town at some point in the future says hey we don't want to deal with this anymore they have to have money they have to have a reserve I guess to get it back to that to get it back to what it was so that they can now take care of it so these are just things to keep in mind I'm sure other things may AR may arise but those are the starting points that's an opportunity also right because you can commission artists to go ahead and come out and say listen we're going to give you a piece of Miami legs where it can be your blank your blank canvas to be able to go ahead and and display your art right so this is how you could turn an expense frankly into I'm not going to say a profit but my point is that to be able to to keep going the concern here I don't think is is is the firsthand getting the job done at at a low cost or very little to none is the upkeeping that comes behind it yeah but what is the upkeeping to the lights right and who pays for that electrical bill right now I'm not I think F just oversees all we to take that do they meter that I don't know how that work you guys remember then they have to approve like okay these is the type of lights and this is the type of work that's going to be done there and something that they have to and the person who did it from haah have we reached out to them is that a possibility we have no but no I'm saying but did they give us no I know but to such a number but did they give us the whole plan right yeah yeah did they give us a whole plan can we meet with them and and and ask their contact meeting with them project just talking about 157000 that's overseen I'm just uh caution because I don't know is that's an mvx thing or that's no that was actually the premier company who who developed theia District contracted smart but who maintains that that I'm assuming under the conditions that they told us would be high no no but before that cuz for example this one we're talking about a deskt mhm so I don't know if that one's MDX now they dealt with somebody different then they may not be a good guidance so question one AIA got the developer to uh kind of like the impact Fe to to um do the light question got the developer to do the lighting one The Prestige company and developed the area the whole buildings with the Amil a hard in the airplane the food trucks the apartment buildings and then those lights were a part of their plan to develop the whole area maybe the GRS would be interested with the new project they doing U that would idea not I would not rule that out at one bit right to new but but it would hurt yeah absolutely not reason one other um thing to keep in mind and that may help you when you go to council is it does help to have like a community Forum just to hear people's opinions to see if it's something that they want in their Community or not of course but and then those are the type of letters of support that you would also take as part of the resolution and to act thought so you're saying that we should have like a a forum see the community wants to do this can you're just giving them an opportunity to voice whether they want this or not I mean if you put a big if you put it on a their agenda for a council Mee people could show up and have their two or three minutes about options how they have done it before that was a sad stuff I mean definitely putting it on the agenda for the council to you know in that case you know one of us will go over there we speak on that agenda item uh kind of to promote it that that will probably be the only way that I would think of um but definitely ask to see what has been done in the past and how you know what be the best process to promote that that I I presume that would be the biggest platform to present on at a council meeting and make sure we find one that's you know really hot topic that you're gonna have like a thousand people just showing up in pris another three million online and Bam that's our platform right there what like a Lo Bo yes okay so um so I guess what would be the next step here well so uh we have to get a resolution from the council period so we have to actually Council to get involved yes exactly so that is the next step get them involved put it on their agenda to make a motion for the chair to write an email no the resolution when we did the resolution for the trees we did the resolution we brought it to the committee the committee approved it and then weed it to who drafts the resolution um whoever you want to pick to do it who what who's going to draft the resolution I only work reviewing their resolution I know that the attorney obviously will meet with one of you to right that's that's what I presume yeah committees yeah we don't we don't we don't create resolutions no no we don't write the resolution someone presents it to the committee does get the treat ordinance that's a treat ordinance this resolution is a little so we will motion to have a resolution draft and then that information gets sent to legal and then legal puts the resolution I'm gonna here's what I'll do I'm GNA talk with staff just one to confirm the community form that I was talking about to see if it's appropriate to do it at Town Council what has been done in the past and if at that point then it's appropriate to talk about a resolution um with the attorney so then we'll leave it that staff would I mean I will speak with staff with regards to the next proc the next step in this process yeah and if it's a community Forum like details on how how we go about that if you guys if you think it helps your case to start talking to the grams or somebody to sponsor it I mean it's just pretty much a discussion at this point does anybody know the grams personally or if you are any of you for other I don't mind reaching out to for any other estimate you can do that um I know somebody reached out to us because they had been sent an email about this um and they're also getting us a quote so I'll have a second quote for you guys um I don't know if it's going to be any better but I'll share it once I have it may there's company in town that would like to sponsor the light I think the closes I saw I don't know about that sign place right one yeah MH very bright okay all right so I mean definitely we're we're moving but it appears it's it's going to be a process but we'll keep you know we'll keep pushing it Forward yeah I agree all right awesome and on off topic I mean I want to thank IA she's awesome and she is everywhere and anywhere so thank you for the no problem side by side awesome so we're making a motion for it's okay no it's you could say either way it's okay it really is don't worry about it I have a million ISS all right um I don't I don't think there isn't because um she just find out from us information we but obviously there's some kind of movement on this other than us well at least at least with the columns I can tell you that much so the idea would be for me know the direction we got to go and and what are the different components and but they for that that paletto can we get some information on that paletto project that you're talking about the one that you said they're going to put the The Columns you have that layout show I think that that's already been put out somewhere but I I'll find out where I think last name like to see that you know how that's going to look and if we do it 154 we might to do it right there on the on the uh gratin the granny no no I made 677 yeah same thing they did on 57 to do it on 67 the entrance the entrance of Miami laks has got that 67th needs to be overhauled completely under that no I know what lights thr in there yeah me It Go and and you have the pillars on the right side yeah but that's where no actually we own our sign is under the no put the I think with with the cheapest one you to look into that for I I said I mean it wouldn't hurt yeah we might as well just throw it in there no but it is side it is sure I know's in the side is the granny it's it's not might I just don't know what that property line is Miami like is on the other side no is the one by the is is it on our side or no no no no it's on that side no m is after the grand the sign is not on this side of on this side of the of the the Y passes on the other I don't think we on that no we don't maybe we'll give an idea yeah all right all right thank you so much for the update um and I we'll keep it posted add to the agenda um for the next meeting on their hold business all right next item is B 7B signs that Mark of the Town limits on the Peto Expressway northw 138th Street Mr so there is actually a sign that does Mark that I don't know if I've ever missed it it's recently put up there but there is a sign at 138 Street on the palm metal going north 138 yeah that's big what were we talking oh that's what we're talking no that's brand that's brand new it that sign yes yeah I never SE never that's brand new that took about 100 years to put up Alo then weable get all right so we'll remove that item if that's the one 100 oh because I see what you're saying you're using 1308 which is on the other side is on the south side yeah of the overpass yeah that's done now all those thousands of people every hour know that they they are definitely driving into am that's right awesome all right good do all right so we're going to move on to item seven 7 d Miss there was a package that was sent to you long time ago [Music] regarding you should have read your package real quick my color but I did some research um regarding other communities and information from U this one is from Sarasota and that's why I put to be edited because it's something that we can you know either put and and to be check your email is there um the idea was to have a proposal for Lake awareness and it was like um I there items here provide Link in town website about link awareness best practices which is what we say here regarding you know information about you know the importance of the legs and and how it's you know and then I found something about um I link it down website with like awareness best practices create waterways L protection ordinance we need we need to check with the attorney to see how we can PR the ordinance added to the existing Landscaping code um basically like I said this is something that I got it down and those links of of different um very good uh Links of information they also um I think there's there's another because we are under the south Florida Water Management District there's another um agency that has a brochure where they outline you know importance of protecting the ls and know they talk about you know um and that brings Bas about the one about the friendly fertiliz which is a topic that we we try to uh to find out on ordinances regarding um asem motion so so it's basically you know getting all that information putting in the package present it to the count attorney to see we can have the ordinance and then proceed with you online or you know so what what kind of ordinance are we looking for it's it's ordinance to be added to our landscape code of course we follow the the county code but we have one in the town that deals with different different items like fertilizer you sugges to the county amend theur amend amend the landscape uh ordinance to include that include the the protecting arrs and so forth and in it also include the the issue of fertilizers but the county already has an ordinance you're not allowed to use fertilizer during the rain they need to add someu blowers yeah I don't blow my vacuum looks beautiful this is this is one that talks about you know the type of fertilizer that is is one should be applied I don't know if we have it in our I don't think we do in our landscape uh ordinance but it's something that we can again package growing of course you know in the package I was sent to you months ago and you know basically when is the best time to like I said best practices which I mentioned in the in the proposal best practices are the amount fertilizer that can be used and so forth this is you know a lot of information to absorb right now but if you look into it you can see that it talks about fertilizer free zones application the type of fertilizer um the content and application rates nothing with phosphorus in it and so forth and so on yeah I think that's the biggest one but if there's already a counting ordinance didn't we go through this a couple years ago have you seen any response from the last time that we did this from the lake awareness project no I I know we had the ordinance in front of us last time and we we we talked about the blowing the blower nothing but that that's what I think that we should do is is sit down with the journey to see if we can how we can you know amend our ordinance to include the issue of the of the protecting our legs the the fertilizer issue and so forth Ian we can so so Felicia is that something that you like to take on and meet with with legal and see how we can uh okay yeah I've been doing the research so where did you get the addition John I have to check it I don't know no what he's asking where did you where did you Source your your inspiration well I went online and I found um there's a section I can't commity there's one from Tampa there's one from Miami and I mean it's already done it's just a matter of AD adjusting ours to to the language that they have the same way that I did you know I believe I believe you should move forward and push it to legal and see if it'll fly and then yeah this is this isle fertilizer use on Urban Landscapes so Felicia I mean um I wish will we need a motion to or justce should have be able to talk to you should make so you're in agreement that you guys want to I guess you no you never so you want to go ahead Felicia and and mo the motion what's your motion um and and maybe some of you know better than I because I know some of you have been around um a little longer but I would think that this is something that probably has to go to council I don't know if I'm just saying I don't know which way you want to approach it first it does have right but I don't know if it makes sense like I don't know if the attorney will work on something that just a that work on it but but yeah to get more information as yeah yeah so yeah so I would say motion for Felicia to further look into uh this process with legal I second motion by Rudy second by one okay any additional discussion see none all in favor say I I Against All right you guys have it so keep us posted without permiss I get to make we have 36 beautiful leg keep them beautiful all right next item is 7e gokart parade I made Mr chair didn't we move up uh um April yeah Al in Awareness bike ride yeah but that's item H I thought you moved it up to see um nothing just on the uh golf cart parade it was his total success um we had I think over at least 100 100 bu police yeah it was it was I mean I know we were going down some blocks where that we were completely down the block and still the other block was coming so it was it was greatly greatly greatly greatly yeah it was it was a good time it was a good time how fast was it going um you didn't get to go I I missed it with my yellow I missed it I'm sorry we were going pretty fast I think we were going like 20 I wouldn't have made that my thing does the slow going stay in the back you know the bike right yeah like the bike right but uh but everybody participated put lights on the car definitely definitely something that we need to look into to do it as a yearly thing I think yeah because every so we can add it in our budget that really there is there is no budget is no budget we're advertising now we might want to consider then the uh the one of the bike rides in December right consider doing that instead yes I agree okay because we really the same amount of police that that we get for the bike rides is probably what we had we have the truck in the front right and then the the two uh bikes the two no no we have the two uh three police officers one in the back and one two that go forward to stop the yeah blocking the we probably could we probably could do that um I I did hear uh some feedback some people on the East Side they were a little jealous East Side yes because um on the west side and I'm talking about of lam right 67 there were all these streets I don't know if you guys know it that had all these blowups uhuh no we did go we didn't go to the east side yeah but there was no blowups on the east side meaning that message didn't get to the East Side didn't get to the East side yeah we definitely we definitely need to which what was all that about because again I don't have social media so I don't I don't even know how that happened I was driving and literally I don't know if you saw that there was like a whole bunch of blowups no there was there was blows that had the same identical blowup so it was pretty cool to see that so several blocks had it you know but I don't I don't think everybody had an isue I think one of the biggest issues that we had is um where we started right I think it was too far to not centralized enough for the whole town right I think that when we started a r Lazo it's too far for some people to get from that side to I think we started M Street Main Street or the Cypress uh Cypress Village uh closet you know something like that it might be better for everybody because yeah we we didn't notice when we started off we had about 60 when we got to the other side of metal a bunch of people joined in and they said no we weren't going to go we didn't think we're going to have enough battery to make it yeah I didn't join because they they're from spring North and they didn't think they were yeah mine won't some people think they they they were we I think we guess we made it like if town hall and from there Town Hall we did something from there you know well I received nothing but positive feedback but the only thing was it was funny because they're like well next time on the east side we got to find out what exactly they do but from what I heard it was it was social media it it was somebody that started all of a sudden circulating you know we did cut we did cut some of the route down because we figured it was too it was too long right no no but I'm saying with regards to the blowup though you know the blowups there were different ones which I thought was was great I we should do is maybe get the community to get involved and say hey whatever block has you know the best character we could do something yeah we we got to figure out are you able to figure it out how did they get that done so so they used they used the neighborhood app can I but how did they arrange so one neighborhood person I found that out one neighbor one person on the Block they all were were on on one so one one block did it the other blocks hey we're going to do it too but we're going to get this character we're gonna get this character correct so I guess we we need to make sure that we use that by using neighborhood app and then see what they're doing and get them involved you know well they just talk yeah exactly called neighor let me tell you yeah there was several blocks it wasn't just one it wasn't one it was several blocks would say about I thought it was really everybody and then we did find out and we said how do they do that and they said oh they got in the neighborhood app and that's how they they communicate with each other okay and everybody said it was Bry all right so I I would say we definitely can you know now it's you know we're coming up with budget BL you so um I I would definitely add that on the budget remove one bike ride bring it up and definitely you know put the uh with the golf card parade in there a Best One good for you man hopefully I have more by then all right it it is awesome awesome thank you Mario you're welcome all right next item is f time of the Nic meeting um that so there was some talk um of possibly uh bringing and we had that at our last meeting bringing the ni meeting uh to an earlier time at that point the members that were present here um you know we discussed and and we said that at least the ones that were there that the time that we have it uh was more convenient because you know not only the traffic some of us you know um you know have sports or may have practice that ends and by this time you know we we make it and then last but not least um we were able to do you know like for example let's say my case I can go home help my wife right put the kids do homework put them to bed and still be able to make it you know to the meeting on time um I know that we've had some challenges you know on making and not making but add didn't one uh to I wanted to bring it back to the majority of the committee and I just voted on that even though the once present at that meeting agreed that definitely to leave it same dat at it same time so I wanted to make sure I brought it back and hear you guys feedback thanks this works for me okay so motion by Felicia sorryy fa to I'll second okay and [Music] time as this okay and second by Mario Mario okay uh any additional question comments no all in favor say I I Against I guys have it uh moving on to beautification of remaining electrical boxes Mr panana yes so if you notice in the town we have other electrical boxes that need to you know to be wrapped little no other ones oh little there's additional ones he's taking off the list the one under the one for the that he got wasn't we have one less now now he knows was one less going to get get quicker we already got the ball going guys but yeah yes obviously I think we need to reach out to the same artist that way we could have a yes yes but yeah actually she's the artist that here thinkway but I definitely think that it brings uh uh some kind of you know Beauty to the town it doesn't make it look so you know I think she did a great job matching the boxes to the environment correct we could always reach out to the sponsor again which [Music] is so well we did we did a good job picking them too yeah it was it was it was it was hard for us too it wasn't I still think the one at the pkin pack should have been a pumpkin yeah I remember we had I honestly think we did an awesome I mean she did a great job we did we did a good job picking it was it was difficult to try to match it to the environment around it so they can blend in as much as possible and I think that was one of the reasons why we didn't put the pumpkin because a pumpkin right in that corner was going to be like you know was going like w shocker yeah it was cool in October but the rest of the my favorite one is the one by the elev church which is like a yes I see that one every day actually the one of the paintings is that one but I would I would motion for the town to get us a list of the the rest of the traffic sign boxes that before you make a motion um I emailed you before meeting a whole list of where the locations are so what will be the next step are you knocking on uh um it's a lot of them by it's a lot of them so we would have to pick the next how many we do we do the first time five so we want to do five more oh yeah I wouldn't I would take I would take one time yeah I would take one I wouldn't take maybe as long as we do find find find the five five that are the most traffic higher tra I think the one the one across or the one next to the police station a big one but that one is needs to be Ian has kind of yeah you have the location yeah so I would say I don't think there's a motion I would say Mario just make myself a note Mario to locate Five boxes okay um bring it back to us at the next meeting do I need a do I need approval from the the from the committee to talk to miam L Auto Mall or is that for sponsorship or I don't make sense okay maybe you want to come you guys are you make a decision I just W going to ask if you'd be willing to do it again they have a proposal that they want to come back with or something like that you just bring it to us for a discussion all right we sh your sponsor sponsor good then do you still want to use her I say yes I [Music] mean well my my only thing with that is that most probably we would have to do the same process with did the first time around yeah yeah because of yeah this time I I think she needs to rec compensate it's a lot of work you know something give her something last time she how did did she get in return you know business did she get something I have to find maybe that's part of um as I mentioned that's part of that the conversation you should start with her because what if you guys go all this way expecting to have her work maybe she com back and says no I'm not I'm not I don't want to speak ons the company did the rapping but she she did all the the work on the templat the cost of what it cost us last time I I'll see what what I can pull up but I I have it here because I the Miami the Miami leaker article says $1,800 donation for Miami Le and that covered everything quite twist not a minimum no no no it's just you have to have a realistic conversation this was May 2021 wow yeah pmic it happened I know we don't remember about it but you can't send me the the company we use so we can reach out to them let see did the because I think look if the artist isn't isn't look and it's nothing against her she's not willing to do it for for no cost uh is you know I think we just put it out to have a contest yeah yeah because she did she did um she created the the wrapping the measurements everything she measure everything and and give it to the to the people doing the the company she did do some work I just they are working there it's just that they [Music] measuring mean I don't mind have conversations how to go after did she yeah no no we can check oh look I have it here signed in baners LLC of Miami printed the RS and installed them all right so I have just OT Mario to locate five of the boxes and to speak with potential sponsors okay um so okay so we're going to move on to the next item 7h uh April Autism Awareness by rade um remind me um I but I think the only thing we're doing is just motion to have that as the title for the event correct because it was really honestly I think you guys had already agreed already agreed but was that was that from the original one though yeah I think so because you guys asked me to tell special needs if I'm not mistaken yes we asked yeah yeah okay collabor no this was just um the locations if we haven't discussed we had set it at so so we set it up as right Robert alono and then you to them that wanted to present to do it on Main Street now it's going to be on Main Street um well we're working on it I think say yes always say yes but I don't have the exact location of where I will share that you guys want to have it once the hold what day is April 6 I don't know Farmers Market no it's coming back it's coming back it's supposed I think starts yeah starts weekend yeah I think it had a a huge demand [Music] for they coming back I me I've aded Instagram all right um so just update location on possible mainstream possible well it's still up in the air so we don't want to you know she knows I already got a response from Andrea saying that she's working on it so should be fine okay have we reached out to I don't like to put it out there 100% has a special needs uh bik ride starting from Main Street years ago maybe a couple of years ago from a street street Main Street oh my yeah you guys had one either last year or the year before at was like people left and that's it so we're not going to take that much time tried starting at City Hall last December but was cancelled because of the [Music] storm um no we're good I don't remember I I know some got canell but that one um the point is that we're asking her just to make it easier to see if we could just start from the same area you guys yeah because last time we were I think the the farmers market didn't have the I mean we were right there very close to farm market so okay and and the Reason by the way um on the quarterly chairs uh meeting uh what was the what was the comittee it's just a collaboration between Ed EDC Economic Development right that they wanted kind of to promote you know the Main Street businesses and stuff like that so I say you know it would be a great idea to depart from from Main Street um and of course if Department Market is there then it will be it'll be good I always said that our bike ride should begin at some kind of you know breakfast place or something to to involve these businesses okay you know so that should be something we looked at and to do instead of starting at the park you know nqc it you know that was something great Mar's Cafe all these breakfast places we can start at it'll help out those businesses I think it' be great for every all right so we're going to go ahead and move on to new business item a aen Perry hero like ring initiative um so we sent out a few um meetings ago all the documentation all the information of videos so uh what I'm going to do is um unfortunately the U percentage is going to be here today um I'm going to have to call because she couldn't make it so can we use a this one to D her so she can speak never okay that way she can do I have to anything special hello hi it's Rudy how are you I'm good how are you I'm doing awesome so I have you here a speaker we have the neighborhood Improvement committee so the floor is all yours excellent well I don't know rud has told you but I am Aiden's mom um on a mission in honor of my son Aiden we lost his life trying to save somebody else's life um we were out walking our dogs when um we witnessed a car a driver of a car lose control and go into the lake my son and I went running to the lake to try to um help and when the driver opened the car door he screened up out for help my son answered his call he jumped in the lake he hit his head on a rock Rose his neck and my son died instantly so as you can imagine my life has been forever changed in that moment and I didn't realize until that happened to my son so I lost my son that there was nothing in such an emergency that you that he could have used um without jumping in himself so I been on a mission since that moment to make a difference to make it so that the next time there is a water emergency and as we know Unfortunately they do continue to happen but I feel like there has to be something there so in my son's honor I came with the U the aen Terry hero Life free initiative and I am on a mission to get a life free with my son's image on it in every city by every body of water possible so the next time that there's a water emergency there's something that can be used um obviously I do not invent the life ring they've been around for many many years they've impr proven to save life for many years they justes have to be available to be used um they're very they're easy to install and anybody can use them I'm happy to say that currently the I have a to every city who joins the El Mission I'm able to donate life rings to them to get started on their on their initiative in their city and I've also have Partnerships worked out with the manufacturer of the life brings that anything beyond what we give each City we have at cost price that we're allowed to we offer them as well a fine company that I work with and I'm happy to say I go so far I started this initiative in February of last year I'm happy to say that I have well over 300 that we've donated that are in the ground and there's many more that the cities have bought in addition and you know I go City by City getting them installed and you know we let you know our our stain is throw don't go the important thing is that there has to be something available so that a Good Samaritan doesn't have to put their life in jeopardy and suffer my son's fafe trying to save somebody else and um anybody can use them it takes no skills when I go to my cities after we do an installation I become part of their city and they invite me to their water safety events and we go to educate the community and we let even the youngest child we let them use them we let them throw them in to see that truly anybody can use them and um working through we so far currently we're in almost every city of Broward County I'm working my way through my M day County I'm working with the county on a county level um to get them install we're going to be starting in Tropical Park I'm working in Dural um some ho down in Miami and I'm hoping my goal is to make this m days make this child happy so that they're there it's um truly light saving and um just everybody it's been really well received um from everybody that we've taken it and just truly Mission I found I started this shortly after my son died I went on a trip symbolically for him alone that we were supposed to do together and I know when I was in London and Scotland they have life everywhere so this is just something that's not here currently there's things in place for um schools you know there's a you have to have a ring you have to have a hook uh be just have life but currently before I started this there was nothing available to still I currently sit on a couple toas fors of Johnny convention coalitions and I you know they partner with me and I go City by City I've learned so much and this is truly something that's needed and so I rely on the help of support M like Rudy and other people who can bring me into their cities or just trying to do because it's not just a one city thing and unfortunately it's not just a Florida thing or just it's a anywhere where there's water there needs to be something there so that we can um Save a Life um and I'd love obviously make it into your city and be able to get my life rings by your waterways um so that the next time there's a water emergency there something that can be used in your city as well so that's what I do thank you Sarah I appreciate thank you for sharing your St yes I see that you have you're in West Maramar heref you said a lot of the studies have adopted this yeah it's all this on the news um Sarah if I may what's the you say you donate the first one to the town no what we do we donate the first 10 10 oh wow yeah the first 10 so and then after that the manufacturer the with is dayrick they give us an at cost price of $60 the life rings that we use are the um hard plastic um Coast Guard regulated approved life Rings same on that you would see on freight liners cargo vessels they come with a Life Time warranty so the ring you know after we give you the first pen would be if anything more you get be $50 I have a partnership worked out with brow find um what we do is even though the life ring is Universal signs for an emergency life saving device we still like to put a reminder on there we have signs that we make up and they say h throw don't go and then any City that once get sometimes they put their logo so through the partnership with Brower signs they give them a cost of $34 a piece which is about $40 cheaper than some of the cities are paying when they're ordering them through their own inhouse sign company um then as far as how you install them I first installed the first we did in my community we had the Boy Scouts help to as far a community service project so it's very easy to install the basics um every city as far as how they install them depends on the aesthetic of the community and where they want to put them so there's already an existing post by the water like what we do at a marina or pier and they already have other signy our posts there they just attach them to their on our hook um if some of the Cities get a little fancier than others that we use a pressure treated post you know it's six foot um P but it goes down into the ground 2 feet and it sticks up about 4T from the ground the sign goes on top says th call 911 throw don't go um the post is about $10 if you buy it individually you buy it in bulk it's cheaper and some of the hardware stores actually home people a hardware have donated that to some of the Cities so the rope that we use um we use the minimum which is 50 feet um polyutherine where it's a floating rope some of this that offer for 100t rope so it's about just under $20 it all depends on which one you get the thicknesses of it and then besides that the only other material that you would need each post uses one bag of quick setting concrete and a hook so the import what we do is each one that we in we install um you know we recommend obviously there's a hook that you sit on the ring some cities double up and put the the rope and the ring in the same hook and then what we do is we have an anchor on the post where it's an ey hook that screws up to the back of the post with a quick release hook that is pached to the bottom of the rope that is attached also to the life ring and the thought processes behind that if the Water emergency were to happen in close proximity to where the post is you could just throw it and leave it attached to the post as an anchor point but if you had to move it because obviously we cannot predict where the next water emergeny is going to be and if it's beyond say the 50 feet or the 100 foot of rope that you have on there a quick just l in less than a second you can release it and move yourself close to where the person is where you need to throw the rope um and just you know you stand on the bottom of the Rope um so that way if you do throw it and you drop it and you miss it you can pull it back in because the Rope flows and you have the rope and you can pull it back in so it's very cost effective and very easy to install when we go into each City it's usually a collaboration between the Parks Department Public Works and the fire department the public works and the parks um partment they collaborated as far as where to put them so a lot of people ask me you know where how many do you need um and that's really depends on each City each location and the accessibility of the location where the Waterway is so City of Coral Springs has 90 of my rings there they have a lot of parks a lot of waterways in their city um some City I have one city um that only has um one because they has one area that goes into their um only has one little area like a pass access point currently we we're only able to put them on city or county property because city and county has jurisdiction we rely on each HOA to put them on their and put on that because it's private property the doesn't have jurisdiction but the hope is that once these HOA with the city is doing these Poli suit so there is like said there is no real blueprint but what they do the parks and the um the uh Public Works collaborate they figure out where it's needed for look at the Waterway what is owned by their City the South Water Water Management District has owned certain properties like canals waterways so when the cities figure out where their properties are then they then they figure out um EXA the accessibility so is there's a waterway that say one side of backs up to maybe a wall or or Woods or something where there's not as much activity or access to that obviously you don't need to put as many on that side as with the other side of the Waterway so that's why it's a collaboration and then you know depart usually gets in they part of our installation process um because what we usually do we turn it into a Community Education process um moment like I'm doing another installation tomorrow in the city of myamar and what we do is we invite the community that the elected officials usually come out and they make it a moment they usually do a video of the event we give PE the mayor the city manager whoever wants to that's an opportunity to throw it in they make a video and they make an educational opportunity that they share with the city so now your community you let them know what you're doing that they are there and the why how easy it is to use it is it's an educational moment um something really cool that the city of cor Springs does and they're more than happy to talk to everybody there are the people who I've send all my new cities to to talk to because they've really done amazing things in embrace you initiative they have all of our their Rings pinned so when there's a 911 emergency you can call the 911 operator we'll tell them exactly where each um ring is and so some other cities are doing that as well um so that way they can when someone calls or there's a need they can tell them where each um ring is so it's um you know there's a lot of cities who have done it and there you know there's a city that you wanted to talk to and get an idea as far as how the you know it would work for your city or give you some guidance on how they did it with Logistics and everything you know I can definely put in touch with know many you know any the off of many of my cities that I'm working with um to help you with that awesome thank you Sarah um any questions any additional questions Sarah question speak up Sarah this Salazar um I have a question um because my concern is yeah you may have the life but the person is trapped in the car and they cannot open the door I mean I years ago I heard that there's a special tool that and I recommend that everybody should carry it in the car to break the window so they can get out and and you throw the the ring but if the person is trapped in the car and there you know course you know the time for call 911 so my concern is we need to tie this together to that because again if the person is trapped inside the car and you get out um jumping in the water is again risking other person's life so I think it would be yeah and that's and that's a great point we do bring up and we actually we're giving them away at our event tomorrow and when I go into my city sometimes I give them away and that's a whole different educational thing also that we do that's Comm see we are tying that in through the work that I do that the drowning drowning prevention coalitions CH force that I'm a part of we do that and that in itself as whole educational process so that is an important tool um it's a two-part thing obviously you say you get if you got car was in the water and and how you going to get out the worst thing you can do with that night with that young man um car went in he opened his car door and when he did the water just completely he was able to get out of the car the water completely engulf the car within seconds it pull him down he died in front of me so there's a whole other and you can turn this into a whole educational thing for your city first of all what you do when your Cargoes in the water what do you do people panicking the first thing they think to do is open the door and you don't want to do that you want to go out the window down a little bed and let the water level out and then you can open the door correct correct window breaker things that you know also they're a great tool and it's also an educational thing I get feedback because I tell people all the time the same thing you want to have this in your car people say oh they don't they they don't work well you just have to you have to teach them how to use obviously you don't put it in the middle of the window you go in the weaker part of the window or the corner of the side where the window is not it's the weaker part yes I agree um you know they they go hand in hand obviously LIF ring you know thr some Cargo in it's great if a child falls in the water it can be used obviously not every person in the Water emergency is going to be in a car but everything ties them together and so that once it gets into the city we make a whole presentation you know it's part of the educational video the um public the relation people come they do a video becomes a whole educational process the cities go on their social media that they share their websites and they put it all on there because everything ties together and it's that's where the with my partnership with the health department comes in because I am not an expert I'm B so by having a partnership with them they give me the information that I hand out so like when I go to my say your city once we get into your city you had a water safety like April's water safety awareness day so if you invited me into your city and I came I take I give out coupons for swimming lessons for swimming lessons I have information on you know what do you do if your car gets in the water again everything you said you have to level out you want to go out the window not the door I that we talk about the window break thing so it's a whole thing that a whole educational thing that needs to go around I also talk about the dangers of these Still Waters people think that those Retention Ponds in your backyard are like a beach with a gradient they do not it dropped down the one that took my son's life dropped down 30 ft so everything that we do it becom an educational moments so when I go to the cities and I'm have their water days like it's an educational thing I don't just stand there my life things and showing off life things an educational moment um we let the people use them we the life Rings we encourage the parents to you know teach your kids how to swim um so that if there is a water emergency God per bid and they're in the water you say to possibly stay stay their back have you know be able to float or whatever it is so yes there many layers and that break the window thing is definitely a part um of the educational process an important thing that everybody should have in their cars yeah by the way U we have a lake um L condition reports and yeah our legs different configurations sometimes they have like a long flat area and it drops sometimes so yeah that's something that we can also educate people you know back of lake that not a driver from another state that doesn't know about it but local residents you know what they make 100% and this is what I try to tell the parents because you know when I go to my event my I have this amazing table those ducks to draw the kids every to my table and I tell the kids that you know I say listen if you put your your ball and your you drop something in the water B you don't go in because they don't realize the parents looking at me like I'm crazy because they don't nobody knows so like that led and like you said they they're very they're not no two leg has the same ledge even in the same legs I keep the part can be shot wider and the other I think that's what happens to my son because the lake where we go powder boarding in my community had a maybe two to three foot Coral bedge the one that took my son's life had 10 to 12 feet and he would I know that he it was dark he couldn't see and when he jumped in I'm sure he probably figured you know he was probably thinking like the one in our like in our community he goes one two three steps and he would jump in what he did that night it was why there's no way to tell it's dark um most of these waterways don't have guardrails there's no warning signs there's nothing so it's a whole educational process that needs to be started to really truly Mak aware to you want to respect the water I don't want people to fear it I want them to respect the water and know that there's dangers and um I think when people learn and understand everything we're trying to do I think it's um a whole educational opportunity for us to really save life yeah and also thaty that grows in the deeper area when people jump in the lake and they get trapped the leges get trapped in it and that's very too and I remember yeah when I took swimming lessons years ago our our teacher used to say you can drown in five feet of water five feet from the shore you have to stay calm and make sure that you don't panic because that's when you done you panic and flow need to learn how to flow that's and that's key too so when that happened did I Funny say that because right after Aiden I lost my son maybe two months later in my same city that exact thing happened there was two teenage kids that were teaching each other to drive their car went into the lake there was so much of that hour and vegetation in the water that the people couldn't get in if even find them to get there and so by having a life Fram we they can hold on to it so rest were able to get there and um just pull them out but it's it's very dangerous you know these Waters they scare me and they really that's why there really needs to be something to do be the thing is I tell people you want to be proactive you don't want to say oh I wish we had done something time the next time there's a water emergency um you don't want to have regret say wow you know I wish I had done this you know you want to be proactive with the H and say life you know obviously with any life saving device whether it's an A fire extinguisher sh BL any of those life saving devices that are out there you want to hook they never need it but you when they are there you're going be glad they're there to Save a Life I know there been a life being there that night I some would have used it I cannot swim I couldn't do anything but sit there and scream and call for help nobody would stop me I went out in the road trying to stop the cars nobody would stop me I nobody stop the help me and so we just have to do everything can um you know because obviously First Responders do their best to get there as quickly as possible but if there's something there like a likeing like you said there was vegetation somebody got caught in there their feet were Ted but they hold on to the life ring they wouldn't fatigue themselves rescu to get there and get them out you know there's just there has to be something there so that way you know when the First Responders get there they have a better outcome and you know have a lot of support from the um first responder Community because you know obviously they're the first ones there they see first and unfortunately way too often when these these situations happen and every second counts in a water emergency so the more lifing that are there the quicker they are to get them we don't put covers on top of them you know they just sit on a hook um the ones in my community um I monitor to them I also monitor ones that are in L around me we have them in some of the County Parks and I drive all bik I Che them out they do not take them down when there's a storm coming these big wind storms and I can tell you they don't move the ones in my community have been there for over a year and they look just like they did when we put them in so they're made to be there you want quick access easy to use you don't to worry about covers or anything that's going take time because in water is time Sarah um I wanted to ask a question with regards to pricing um I got the $60 per piece um well first you donate the first 10 I got $60 per piece um after that 30 for uh per sign $10 for the Post uh 20 I just put that I know it could be anywh 50 to 100 uh but rope and then the hook is the only thing I missed that that you didn't get to see a price the hook is the cook the hook depending which one you use the every C does a little differently but you need a hook and you need an eye hook so the hook to set the ring on um it's under $5 and then the eye Hook is like a dollar so the ey hook screws into the bath of the bottom of the post and then it's like one those little metal like a carabiner type thing or like little hook you just either push and pull and on poke it we're talking under a dollar for that and then the bag of concrete is about $3 to4 do depending on where you get it um you know the local hardware store or you know wherever you get it it depends um so it's under well under $100 for each post to do it no no worries I just wanted to take some some notes on that um yeah yeah so um well thank you thank you so much Sarah um you know for your time we really appreciate it uh definitely is something that I myself you know I'm in a motion to proceed where the next step is and you know collaborate with whoever we need to do and we we'll keep in touch on get this process you know um done as soon as as soon as possible of course we do have um uh this committee presents or you know every so often we present in front of the council so I'll keep you posted um because I believe our next day it's April uh you have it there uh April uh April 9th okay so we present on April 9th um I'll keep in touch with you maybe you want to come on that date and absolutely I do this great presentation and I promise you I make them cry I don't think I've been one city and they said that when they hear my story I sit there and hearing it from me you know people say to me why do you do this they said how can you do this and I said first of all I have to do this this is my bey you know being a mod I was there and I saw you cannot tell me it's not necessary I have PTSD from that night I can still see and hear everything that happened that night I can tell you there's a dire need so when I go to these meetings and the commissioner hear my story they ask questions I would answer for every question they give me you can't tell me it's not necessary and it's so much more impactful because you can sit there and you can telling me story because you believe in it you know it's the ne necessary thing but they can be like yeah yeah yeah and blow it off like it's that important but they can't tell me that I was there and it's why I do what I do because so many times change happens because of a tragedy there's many moms out there as you know our parents just um who have things happen in their life and this is I my son's Legacy I do this now for my son and I would happily be able I would happily talk to them whoever I can to help you in the process um I've done it many times I know what to do I know how what they ask and I'd be happy to help you in that process awesome thank you so much again and and we're we're so sorry for your loss of course uh and and thank you for reach you now and we'll definitely uh keep in touch is there any other questions for Sarah Sarah the time no thank you all so much I'm really grateful this opportunity to be a part of your meeting and I appreciate what you all do for your community because you're making a difference every day and you know I'm grateful for the opportunity to be part of what you're doing and I I appreciate your help awesome Sarah just so you can know our our liaison um it's it's here now and she's sending you an email um with a day and time and information uh and the address of course your town hall so that way you can put it in your calendar and and we'll see you on April 9th perfect I will absolutely be there thank you so much for the opportunity and thank you thank you and thank you for your patience I know that we've been trying to we've been trying to come out here for for for some time so I appreciate your patience thank you have a great night you as well thank you all take care bye bye you up with uh I actually saw that on the news a couple days ago yeah and I was a year ago yeah yeah 2022 a22 I thought it would I thought it would be a great idea for here but how many look how many l we have obviously one in royal royal Al be the best one happen the I saw it on TV it sad sad story she said she couldn't swim she couldn't she could my first you h a rock my first save Life kid was doing the right thing you raised the kid right you did right by him and you know he that's sad and honestly the guys have you know it's it's it's a it's a sof topic yeah uh we did have that incident we did have that incident here in The Lakes where the car got into remember I think it was a yeah that was by Will's house was it by willly house the two kids went into it or something I know we had that incident here so um my first thought process my first thought process were I I don't know she actually can get that many up front but my first thought process was all the beaches all the public beaches um you know definitely second three through through I think I think there I think there it's a two two two approach right is looking at first what the town maintains yeah and manages and then reaching out to the HOAs that manage their own uh lakes and and encourage them to do it on their own I think that's kind of you I don't know if the town is to be out there at least from the initial standpoint considering how many laks we have to be able to get them because you know look at like Patricia have a lot of you guys have a lot of entry points but there are public Lakes Public portions of it public beaches on some of these Lakes where they you know the the town can be placed and that I think maybe we target at least minimum the 10 that we get and then whatever we need to purchase out you know make that recommendation otherwise I think uh you know with her presentation at the at the council meeting it's definitely going to be one of those that just kind but if we go with that double approach you're not going to get the people saying hey look we shouldn't be providing the H the H you know those Community the ls that are maintained by the communities need to be maintained by the communities but it's also something that we can push to them it's it's very important right and I thought it's not something that's it's not it's not Out Of Reach yeah no it it's in uh to your point one of the first things what I saw was the H quarterly meeting to have that as a topic you know to bring on those HOAs you know more than anything that that are surrounding correct right um so and then what I said public beaches because those are very accessible they're quick uh to get them but um but definitely go ahead for yeah adding to that I think besides the beaches we have to make sure that you know I know there's some leges that have fences but it's making sure that the lake that faces a Thor away that a car can which one you that happen that they fell in the lake like bus okay because I know I know I have Lake quick they may fall in the lake but the idea is to make sure to locate them in areas where you know there's a danger of a car go to because yeah the priv you know swimming areas that's a good location too so we need to make an assessment or where potential danger Could Happen yeah like where where we put where we concentrate the first thing though it's finding first what the public beaches are that is true the EAS public parks areas that have public to talk the parks recreation have them identify that first car person D what areas do we identify that have streets that that lead like dead end that lead to an area my street that's everywhere everywhere you know it goes and turns so almost every lake has at least one Street that kind of I wouldn't say necessarily de ends into it but is [Music] alongside if you're not in there and it's dark no no absolutely it's something that so um I want to jump in guys because we still have you know additional one it's getting a little late I don't want to leave you guys here too long so I'm going to motion for Council to adopt the resolution of the um Aiden Perry uh here live ring initiative is there a second second second by jaier any additional comments no see none all in favor say I I against all right the eyes hav it so what I'll do is um once we get to that item I already had added it to the report um we'll bring it to the Council on that on that meeting second Havier um we'll bring it to the Council on that meeting and definitely you know uh go from there and I'm sure she has you know the entire packageing process so we'll put her in contact with where we need to do from you know legal so that way they can go sooner than later all right thank you so much uh we're going to go ahead and move to the next item that is uh 8C rank bar Workshop how can you give a little information on that so that's uh youf who came out a couple months ago to do a workshop for you guys yeah they were just um I believe I forwarded you guys that em know but it's they're just they want they wanted to get ahead of the calendar um and they wanted to do something for Earth month possibly get you guys on the calendar to do the barrel Workshop the rain barel mine broke down you water your grass they just wanted to know if you guys were interested and wanted to book one you have one I'm not sure they know but they give one out actually no you have to buy actually in the in the presentation right she said that there was a where you could sign up and they would they give oh okay try get free one it it's very useful when we had this the storm and I lost I broke my water line I had I was able to use that water like my it's like a 50 gallon yeah it's big got 55 Gall so or 65 and what I did is75 what I did I found like a screen TI it up so the mosquitoes could not get into fix it because you have to leave it open water to fall in but if it's open p water and starts so I I put so on so what exactly is it again that we're supposed to be doing on this item no that was them offering for you guys to do a workshop with them the rain bar they just wanted to know so for Earth they want to do like a if they want to collaborate with us to do like the work CH but at this point I don't know what's available because this was a little bit back so I don't know they just wanted to know if you guys were interested in having definitely are if if we can just reply back let them know see where the ne dates are okay [Music] um all right let's move on to item 8 D pedestrian safety aware awareness Public Service Announcement proposal Miss Salazar yes um I I met with um Public Safety Committee because this was AIC that um I constituent for our office that we had surgery and the do to go for walks but then he was walking and like something and he was walking on the sidewalk and I had to Verge into the street because you know side my block so I brought it to the attention um to put in the lakeer actually they did put something in there uh to bring awareness to the people they have I think a column now you know something about myates something that and and I like I said I presented to the Public Safety Committee they they voted in favor of proceeding with u with helping out as far as supporting us on this and um officer Amador was there and he was gonna make sure that you know help us too and basically you know go walk around the neighborhood and they see a car that is blocking the sidewalk with making nowhere you canot do that so I even saw a car part on the sidewalk parallel so if people are not paying attention and it's dangerous because actually I made a little car um to put in cars and they told me no that's do it that's too dangerous so I basically you know every the people mothers and kids in strollers bikers uh you know the elderly and people that you know kids you know so it's making people aware don't don't the sidewalk you so I think we need to follow up with the with the police yeah I think there's an ordinance actually where you can park on the sidewalk just not between midnight and 6:00 a.m or is that the 12 12 it's just that people are parking yeah you know I take my kids for a walk and I I gotta go on the street sometimes especally you know kids andly people yeah so will you say that this is more um along the lines of the Public Safety Committee well I think it's it's an isue you know helping the neighbors with safety but they they they were very good saying yeah we can police the police actually volunteers you know we can just go and if I see a car we see a car that uh is blocking the sidewalk knock on their door they recommend people doing it personally I wouldn't recommend that I wouldn't recommend that sometimes I'll go through their driveway and wave at them yeah if they're outside but yeah the police said that there was no so so would it have this been brought up to the Public Safety Committee yes yes yes okay and and we're collaborate we're collaborating with him is who had the initiative well I I brought it to them you brought it yeah because we we had men you know right right right of course of course I said well let me present it to them I think it's more like a safety issue the Laker is is a board and they had an article which monay was and they did talk about not to block the sidewalk so the objective is to raise awareness do ra awareness of there something that we can do is this something that we can post on the town's website that we and and you're just looking for our support meaning when you guys go out there to knock on doors to go with you guys no no no the police so we're not we're not we're not doing anything at all we can do is promoting online or no on social media platforms or tag whatever the town is doing okay a public service announcement collaboration with the police and then just make them aware that not to block the sidewalk you know okay thank you Felicia so in this case no action is required here no action from us but have okay the next one is 8e zoning code Covenant clarification for proposal Sal yes I was um IED one of the zoning meetings and I asked the question about you know something about the covenants and they can have you know give a straight answer on it as far as information but I think it's it's important that that we make residents aware because there's a lot of new residents and they don't know the difference between the zoning um restriction and the PO and restrictions every I mean I think it would be good to contact in HOAs I think I think it was a lady that said that oh most I always to have copies of the covenants because when you bought when you bought property many legs there was a covenant tied to it like you cannot put fence in front of your house or you cannot do certain things I don't the Covenant so the did restrictions which T to that so I think it's important that people are aware of that you cannot bring your Edge hedge all the way to the front and and they don't know so it's all there only but again uh as far as as um the difference between the you know we need to show educate them about the difference between the zoning um code and and the covenants and and just basically say you know need your Covenant and unfortunately a lot of real estate people do not tell them the Covenant because you know no it's too strict I w't you but I think it's important that they I don't know about that I think the real estate agents do it and show them but they no just some people don't you know don't do it but I think it's important that that there's a conflict between the zoning code or the covor did the restrictions the more stringent one of black people need to be one only we do this the C says well it's more stringent so that that's the clarification that we need to convey to the the Mist that they need to you know if they're doing an addition or or they're doing something to the property and they sing um feeling the oh yeah you can do it but say no let me ask your question let me ask a question to that point if if what that's more of an HOH well it depend no when said did restrictions for example my house we don't have an h8 we had did restrictions right um but what happens to that Felicia the fact is if I'm trying to do an addition to my house right and I and I can based on the de restriction but now zoning is approving it I'm not going to waste my time going to my did restricture and go to zoning and say hey by the way hold on a second I can't do this yeah why are you approving this you look no that that doesn't make any sense so how do you how do you suggest that we are going because the fact is and let's be realistic to each other if if somebody's going to want to do and I just put because you put the example of an addition right somebody's gonna want to do an addition okay and they go to the zoning board and it's approved they're not going to contradict themselves and say you I have a yeah would if the Z doesn't the Z doesn't tell him about you're saying that your HOA is not active no I don't have an HOA at all my my home from what I was told I live in Patricia when other did restrictions that's where they're somewhere out there they're exist I don't have them they're on your yeah which I'm not going to look for no but they're not on the DAT I have to look for database and I I know the person who prob has them I understand we need to put it someplace so people know yeah but but what's the what's the legality of this can the Planning and Zoning say Hey listen you can't do this because it says you have a de restriction how do you stop someone from I I understand his point because how do you get someone from saying or or how do we get someone from like zoning z z has one that has to have those deed restrict and they have to enforce the deed restrict and those are the ones that sued you don't havefor it then so the enforcer has to be the HOA yeah yeah but what happens okay no again like he said if he the HOA doesn't respond for the zoning if I need to apply for a new permit I have to go to per zoning they're the one that's going to say y or n it's not my HOA that's going to say here or G so if the no two pieces your HOA can prevent you for During certain things that apply to your community if zoning will always go towards and let me give you an example in my community is we have restrictions with regards to style and color of aies and the town will not approve a permit until they get the letter from the HOA the enforcement piece and this is where it applies for with with Rudy if he has any type of restrictions pursuant to any Deeds um on his property that would be subject to zoning getting some type of notification or them giving saying hey look we're going to hold off on the permit if they say nothing there's really nobody then to enfor and to your point Sorry to your point for the to the HOAs that's not zoning or it's it's the point of the HOAs they need to enforce right and typically the way that that works is the document and I don't know and have uh uh property they're called in the industry they're called architecture modifications right and those architecture ifications right they they set around certain boundaries that when you want to put a new awning this architecture modification package is given to you and those deed right which they're governing document restriction they're not deed restrictions when it goes to Ho they're not called the restrictions that's a confusion that's what we need to make sure that it's clarified when when people yeah but it's CL no no but but this not this is not about the people uh Felicia to your point this is you know there's two different entities that you're looking at if you're looking at hooh has nothing to do with the town has nothing to do right that is their obligation right exactly you know that's that that's what they do and if they have a management company you know uh managing their Community these documents have to be in place already before anything is you know requested from the you know from the town that's the first part of it the second in my case I don't have any I have what's called deed restrict restrictions so if the did restrictions there's something that I cannot do I'm not going to go front they did restrictions you know to to the town I'm GNA go you know I'm going to pull my permit I'm going to put it I mean have the point I'm going to go in front of the zoning department if required zoning approval if it didn't require zoning approval but it's still restricted on the deed I'm going to pull a permit and if somebody's not doing their homework right in the town they're going to give me a permit I'm going to do it and then you are going to come to me or you're going to come to the government I mean to the town next and say wait a second I I know the D restrictions I've been living here for 40 years and that addition cannot be done but guess what the town already gave me a permit and I fin building it so before before the town was incorporated who enforced the good restriction it was a county it was a county it was not the the grand company put were the ones that had the the big restrictions and and so forth I'll tell you I know company couldn't find I'll tell you who was who was the one that was doing it it was it was petitious and I don't know if I'm using the right name of companies that somebody just went to uh the Florida Department of of not Revenue excuse me um the DPR no not the dvpr the the State of Florida um business so they created a corporation they they created themselves a lake Patricia Association they gave somebody a title of a president they gave somebody a title of of of a church but there was no governing documents so that nothing there was no B there's nothing just the Restriction so these in correct but I would have to say that Back 40 you know 63 um people would answer a little better to just these did restriction and these body that they call themselves a a Lake Association you know will collect the the $25 for dry lots and they would collect the $50 for you know wet Lots um or whatever they were called back then and that's how they would maintain the lakes and then the surrounding from that subdivision they were enforc these did restriction but the truth is that they were enforceable so unless the county came over the Gramps back then but that's that's really where it came down to so to your point there's two parts here right and which one is the one that you would like to tackle and how because I I honestly feel that this that may be a little outside of our boundaries as a as a creating some kind of information to the new residents because I see a lot of things that are like changing in the town but because people don't know that they have because yeah it's because of our government if our government doesn't know that right and I'm going to tell you why because what I can I cannot do right that's true but even if you tell me I'll let you know even if you tell me Rudy you can't put you know 700 um 700 feet 700 square feet with a concrete uh um driveway right if I want to do it I'm going to do it if the town gives me a per it doesn't matter if I know or not right you see what I'm trying to say so and I get you right information right is knowledge and and knowing this but but we got to be realistic with the message that we got to be and how impactable can that message be because most of the people when they want to do a driveway they're going to get it done yeah but this scenario I was reading I was reading um one one I there's a lot of documents here to read that there's there certain like they changed it I mean they went from it used to be 60% uh covers for the front and I and this is zoning this is not H they changed it to to um from from 60% cover to 70 no from from 60 to 50 or and then if it's if it's permeable favors you can do 70% coverage which means you can the whole per your house and I've seen and again it may be zoning the part's fault I see a lot of people doing covering the whole front and we saw one that I I agree with you permeable concrete is not and people are like pay so yeah you so what I want to say is there's two issues right the HOA that one is covered by the bylaw of the HOA so there's nothing that we can raise awareness whoever buys and then a community that has an HOA needs to know that there's bylaws that they have to follow and the HOA governs those what they can do and they're not able to do in the case of Lake Patricia or Rudy the enforcing body in my opinion is the sing Department if a new resent moves in and they said Okay I want to do this they thinking that doing the right thing is coming to the town go to the sunning department and say I want to do this if the sunning Department approves their project they're say there's no because those the Restriction that you talking about they're not enfor there's not a body that enforces thate enforcer The Zing code for Miami Lakes when they started and I went to several of those meetings they based a lot of them when the dids so what you see in our zoning as a lot of the lcts Incorporated so that's so right so but there's still some others that again you know I don't know why they didn't Implement all of them for different I'll give you another example maybe that makes it so let's say I move into one of these areas right and I say I want to put an onion so I can put my boat in and I come to the town to the town to to pull a permit for that I'm hoping that the Sony department is going to look and say oh no you're not allowed to have first and then the uh ony that he wants to build the to put the boat is out of compliance with the B of the soning codes and the building codes so there are the for body of those be restrictions you can't expect the general public to know what they can do or not when we have a son in Department that enforces that because I I remember again I attended some of those meetings it was implementing of because people wanted to put Vats in front of their homes and and and some members of the council oh yeah that you let people then there was one member I think where we get in a great area is when when they contradicted council member he said no we need to follow you know our this restriction because then everybody's going to put Thon was he a councilman yes but I help us put together that you know I believe that the town was talking U Council was talking about a code enforcement yeah because at the then in the day it has to come down to that we have to have quality of life of anything we're losing our you know if anything I think you should follow up with uh with the council and see what the process of code enforcement has been or what those talks are because again we can't enforce none of this unless there's some kind of I think I think our code enforcement is really weak correct there is no code enforc in right because remember when we had the HOA meeting the gentleman that had the issue with the pool that the tenant behind him had a couple of R Wilders the rwe were pooping all over the concrete deck and every time he got into his school to the bottom of the fence he saw all that and C put the pool was green enforcement couldn't do anything because they couldn't get into the back it was not visible and and even if they did the maximum I believe was a pine of $1,000 so if I want to break the law and the town of miam lates and do whatever I want to do in my house I go and I do it and I know I'm find $1,000 it's SC you go do that in foros or city of Miami and they even have a commercial miracle in of your house now they're allowing pick ups because G in six months you can know the the C of so $350 per day or something like that so so Felicia correct me if I'm wrong I I think I I I kind of get a little more of the idea what you're trying to do right so that way we can you know if it's within our purview right we can definitely support you but what what you're looking for it's other is I'm I'm going to be honest educating the residents I think for what you're trying for my view what you're trying to do it's not going to work because at the end of the day clearly results speak for themselves right and some of these people that you know they're maximizing their driveways they're putting you know dark roofs all this stuff right they're getting rid all you know of all the Green in the front so so I this will be something more to okay we're in support to go to the council and see what is a council doing right to to protect more of the lifestyle here in Miami leagues right so so I think that's more like it because honestly our little commedy I don't know how much you know impact we're going to do but is that kind of where you're I think I think you're you're in the right and I think the council has heard that that before because they have talked about um C SPS and that there has to be some kind of Regulation when it comes to the Statics of the town because it's like you're saying it's it's it's the wild west everybody's doing what they want to concern is again the the driveways people and they we have to spend thousands or or millions of dollars in drainage because you know where's the water goingon to go and the drivers keep coming up but guess who approves it yeah the zoning zoning and guess who Prov them after that the building guess who approves it because they do it they go out there they look at it they're like okay here you go you're sign off of it and then like there's some areas in Miami Lakes that don't have like my street when it rains a lot the water goes into the lake but in some areas that I have lakes and people PVE their their front yard and I said that to Roberto Alo one time that we were walking campaigning with him years years ago and I said look at this you know everybody PES because was designed for the water to percolate through the grass and if doesn't percolate through the grass where's it going to go no I seen the one the block the concete box and they put the like suppos artificial grass was supposed to be real gr but all you have to do is go go down where are we go down south of on 67 Lum and make a ride on is it Miami lak way um where the no whe the K Miami L if you go down that way as of right now there I think counted about five to six of them and in the past year those drivers have come up so here's my recommendation uh Felicia if you want to put some kind of report summarizing and I do have that on my report to council right and definitely you can participate with me and that they present to the council Our concern as a committee right which we're we're going you know we're going very clean but we need to 100% but but but this will be what Beautiful direction is right this would be the platform right to put it out there okay so if you like like I said you know put something together send it to to uh to I so that way we can add it on on the because I do have the line item already while you mention that I just want to highlight the fact that I know I sent it to you and um it's about but just for all of you guys the deadline for that is nine days from today so I need report no no we're we're that's what I'm saying we're approving that today yeah yeah but I'm saying because you said for her to send so well we don't you want me to attach it to the council you can put it as an no we can put it we don't have to necessarily mean should I don't want her to send it to me meaning she sends it to you you forward it to me so that way I can have it but we don't even have to necessarily present no no the the item is there right I take the opportunity for minutes I do need that as soon as possible you need the first uh so Felicia going back to your item here I think the awar it it'll be like the phe to in my opinion I think that you should focus on bringing it up to the council's attention and ask that we all notice what you notice by the way I'm I'm not I'm not in disagreement with what you see but I think it would be more effective if you ask them to provide clarification on the code enforcement of it and the in the role of the Sony department on it so that once that's established then we can exactly we identify with yeah all right good next one um no we good we're not doing a motion for no no we don't need that um the next one is f late conditions report updates uh request that was that in I think there a link uh in the town's website and I think it public works that has the lay condition reports from 2019 and I think we I don't know when our next one is new I think it's it's important that we uh have someone check the condition of the laks if they're safe you know as far as because it's a it's a lengthy report it has it's very thoral um very interesting a lot of reading to do I finished reading it it has all the different legs the when it was build the history of it what what they find on each one you know they content of different things so I think I don't know I know I know they did it I I know years ago um the civic association we did uh with Fi FIU they they they came and they did the testing and I think we're because people use the lake to swim and and who wants make sure that everybody's safe and the legs are you know save to swim in and and and basically you know it's important that we we keep our legs clean I know it's an HOA issue also but we need to make sure that who's check because I know again it's in the Public Works website and the last one was 2019 and you know we want know what existing are in the L and so forth because we don't want to so what what what are you recommending that that we that we figure out you know who's one who can do the testing or how much it's going to cost and we need to be on top of that I think it's important we I go I I know exactly what the test do we have a date on that test on that report the report is 2019 that's the last one in five years is that the one from from uh from FIU or or no no the one I what university I know was UF was F yeah you presented one of the meetings I think I think we we have to find out public works or whoever is in in charge of this n so so what what exactly Felicia you want to touch base with public works and see you know where what is recommend the water how do we find out they're safe recomending that we do new test which water are we talking about all the lates okay so in that case most probably the question here is how good or for how long is this test for right I think that's the first question because if they turn around and says look you know this this report is good for 10 years right one of those things that rep for 10 years I don't know that's what I'm saying I I don't know that part I I understand but it's the same thing with an appra right on a prer for insurance it's it's good per se for 3 years right that you don't have to touch it however if there's a big change in in in in uh in the market then it's recommended that you go back and get an updated one but the law doesn't say that you have to in my industry saying that you have to get a new one that's what I'm trying to say so I understand but I don't know the information so you have to go and get it I'm just basing on on something else that as a say similar process so in this case case um we have to get because if that is the case can we afford can this town afford to get this test done every year if that's what's recommended I understand that but when you go and put that on a budget H I don't live in a lake I don't get in a lake I don't care about the lake so no it doesn't affect me that's where you hear at these Council meetings if if I if I may to the chair so you're saying if the report uh if the person the the company does the report say says that report is is uh good for 5 years on a on insurance purposes or for for whatever purpose whatever purpose L you don't you don't see that there is a need to test the legs no I don't see no I'm not qualified to make that decision I don't think any company will guarantee the money no I don't think there's going to be a guarantee are you you have to find out what the best prices or what the standards are of how often he should be doing the checks I think ho all the H for the most part yes okay the ones where that they're maintaining their legs yes okay so instead of instead of doing a whole test on you know us going out why don't we get a report from those that have done the test because it's it's it's different testing what you know Del lay conditions report goes into a lot of other reports that what the H does you know I think we we need to find out who did the last report because for some reason I think it might have been even fdap might even been a state level that they came in did did a an assessment I don't know if that's something they regularly do I don't know if it was a request of the town I think we just pull that report find out exactly how that one came about and try to see what you know what the process is and just come back next the next meeting and discuss it the chair
