Council - Regular Meeting

Okay, let's open the meeting now. Presence control 632. The chairman is present. Present. Present. Present. James is present. And sir? We have... The meal of marriage, followed by a moment of silence. For the flag of America, for the Republic, one indivisible nation and justice for all. Take Place Indeed The public administration No? Okay. Okay. EHM, are there any additions, removals or exemptions? EHM, because we did not plan the subcommittees well and I forgot to report that we normally have a subcommittee for .m, but from now on. Yes.

EHM, just to clarify, when do you start with the subcommissions and when? Not during the whole year, because I know you don't run after the reindeer run anymore.

Yes, we stopped in January with the subcommissions for every run. So?

December will probably be the... Last one, right? Yes.

Yes, December will be, and then for the monument. Let's take a look. Laten we eens kijken of we een subcommissie nodig hebben, want we hebben al zoveel dingen in gang gezet op dat punt en we wachten gewoon af wat er gaat gebeuren. EHM een.

Vraag, wanneer beginnen de radiovergaderingen weer? In.

Welke maand? Nee, ik denk juni. Ja.

Juni.

Ja, juni. Het is nog maar een half uurtje. Maar we zullen de zaken hier even bespreken. EHM, I want to add something, namely discussing new things. EHM, two things. EHM, first I have to do a route reconnaissance of the route of the reindeer walk with agent Amador. So we have to arrange that. I want to submit a motion to add a route reconnaissance of the reindeer walk. And we have a second. Second. Who is for? So, that's point 9, route. And then the other point I want to add. We have point 91.

Oh, sorry.

So, and then 9 votes. First of all, we need a secret. No, no, you really have to do that. No, no.

Yes, there secretary.

Yes, normally that is Ed P., but he is not there. So I have to register myself. Someone.

Other here.

Mr. Mana, would you mind being secretary? Let me introduce Eddie first. You have to introduce yourself. Yes, let me introduce you. Eddie Mana. I've known Eddie Mana for a while. He's a sailor. So now we finally get some sailors. One more. Yes, one more. As soon as I have a team. But... He's also a member of the Knights of Columbus. And he does a lot for the community. Much for the Knights of Columbus. So I asked him to join me, because Eddie is someone who gives you something and he's always there. He gets his chance. EHM and Ul, you know, he's a good friend.

There is only one place free in the subcommittee for the reindeer race, if you are interested.

It's very nice. Yes, there are actually only two people in the subcommittee.

Charles is also in it.

So yes, if you want to be in the subcommittee, with which we prepare a 5-kilometer walk, that is our biggest fundraising action and it is really very nice. Do you know what the responsibilities are? I come half an hour in advance and then we discuss things and you can see where you can help, for example with advice or by approaching people. Wanneer is de vergadering?

Het is dezelfde als deze, maar dan een half uur eerder.

Een half uur eerder, om zes uur. Ja, dezelfde dag, zes uur s'avonds. En we hebben normaal gesproken altijd een vergadering op.

Donderdag.

Ja.

Dank je wel.

Bedankt. Dus, als je het niet erg vindt, zou je secretaris kunnen zijn. Ik zie dat je je laptop hebt meegenomen, dank je wel. Wat moet ik doen? Gewoon aantekeningen maken. Je dient moties in en dat soort dingen.

So, if someone makes a motion to leave when I leave.

Yes.

I have a template that I can send.

Yes, just send the template. Yes, I will help. Okay, so the first motion, well, we have done the welcome report. Mr. Mann. En dan de eerste motie is de routeverkenning. Ik heb een motie ingediend. Motie van mij. Gesteund.

Door Pedro.

Gesteund door Pedro. En ik denk dat iedereen er al over gestemd heeft. Ja. Het tweede punt is de visvergunning. You can ask to check the route. We are going to do a route check for the reindeer route with agent Amador. I have to buy him and so on, right? Yes, buy. Pen. Actually, yes, no donuts, no donuts. Take a route and then the route check for the reindeer route. And then I want to add point 9c of the new agenda points, namely the fish tournament, which is really starting to get going. Can you give everyone an update on that? EHM, I serve a motion to add the fish tournament. Supported by Mr. Maanoff. Who is for? Okay, good. Mr. Manoff, you may tell us something about yourself if you want to. EHM. I am a member of the Knights of Columbus. I've been there... ...for about eight years now. EHM. We play a lot of games. EHM. There is a circus in Hyde on 49th Street at Yenna Circus. En, ik neem onze groep mee, we brengen meer dan 250 kinderen en we geven ze een dagje in het circus. Pishouse. We nemen kinderen mee. Ik werk nu ook al zo'n 15 jaar met Pishouse. We gaan daarheen, we versieren de huisjes waar ze wonen. Ja, net buiten EHM. We bring Christmas presents. Ja, en jij brengt kleren mee. En jij brengt hen kleren. Gewone kleren. Ja, wij brengen hem spullen. Ik help ook een andere vriend van me waar hij voor werkt. Jojo. We zamelen speelgoed voor hen in. Ja, elk jaar. We brengen veel speelgoed mee. We gaan de veteranen helpen door voor hen te koken, de mensen die daar wonen. Ja, ik weet het. We hebben 2000 dollar gedoneerd voor dat evenement. En we gaan ook bingo met ze spelen. We spelen een paar uur bingo met ze. Ik help hier met de veteranen van Dave Bure. We brengen de Knights of Columbus mee. We brengen echt mooie kleuren mee. We rijden langs de route. We brengen lekkere hapjes mee. Ik kom al 24 jaar naar het 4 juli feest, de 4 juli parade die we hier hebben. Ik neem mijn eigen groep mee. Ik beloof dat ze eten meenemen. Take food with you to his house. Yes, well, his house is something new that we started about four years ago. But for that I brought many other people and told them that they had to take their family with them. We have tents and we just organize a family event with a group. There will probably be about 100 people. We've been doing that since the first day we started. I help the church. I help with Lady of Felix. Ik heb de maiskraam daar. Dat doe ik al zo'n vijftien jaar. Echt?

Op het lentefestival? Ja, ja.

Ja, en ik ben nu zeven jaar geleden begonnen met Sint, Benedikt in Hia. Ik help daar met de kermis en ik ben ook een van de sponsors. Ik haal geld op voor de kerk daar. Ik heb mijn eigen... Sponsorbaan. Ja, nou, ik ben gepensioneerd. Dus, oké, ik wacht op dat antwoord. Ja, en ik ben gewoon overal aan het helpen. We work with Pic Rose. We once worked together with the Halia Racetrack, the police and the fire department. So yes, I'm quite worried. And now you're a member of the veteran commission. Yes, and I'm a member of the veteran commission here and also of the veteran commission of the high school. We would like to recruit you for the American League. You're not American. No, he's not. Ik ben erg gezegend. God is heel goed voor me geweest. Ja, dus ehm, ik heb, weet je, mijn pensioen en zo. Dus ik probeer iets terug te geven. En ik doe veel voor de stad, voor beide steden, voor de middelbare school. En zo goed. We doen de kalkoenuitdeling. Ja, fijn dat je er bent. Ja, fijn om hier te zijn. Welkom, welkom aan boord. Oké, laten we eens kijken. Laten we de notulen van mei, alstublieft, doornemen. Augustus. Oh, ik heb de verkeerde datum. 6 augustus.

Ik heb de subcommissies die we hadden ook in deze notulen opgenomen. Dank u wel.

Oké. Dank u wel. Kunnen we een datum geven voor het officiële toernooi, 26 juni 2027?

Vijf minuten om de laatste minuut van vorig jaar te verbeteren is prima.

Ja. Dien een motie in om de wijzigingen voor alle zes goed te keuren. We hebben een tweede. Gesteund door. Wie is, voor, ik? 2. We do the notaries of the meeting of the subcommittee and the rest of the notaries another day, I think.

Or we have to approve them.

Okay, let's serve them both. Subcommittee. Okay, let's approve the notaries of the subcommittee first.

You're not allowed to sit in subcommittees, so... It can't be bad, can it? Approve it then. Yes, so I submit a motion to approve the meeting of the subcommittee for the monument and the reindeer herding.

Supported by Mr. P. Wie is for? Okay. This monument. The monument that we are trying to build. Are we going to? That sponsors or are we responsible for that? Yes, we collect money. Okay. We need $400,000. We'll talk. A date with you. Brian says he'll definitely help us. Yes, I told him, you're a big guy, so give us $250,000. He's going to try to get $250,000. Well, I'm pretty sure he's going to do that. I talked to him about it. Yes. EHM, we had a long conversation. He had it about that kind of thing. EHM, by me, by me. Okay. So, old business, reindeer race. Do you have news?

EHM, I took a check for the title sponsor, that is the head office of Toyota.

$10,000. We have a new sponsor, actually a new old sponsor. EHM, the insurance company has sold its company to IOA Insurance.

Yes.

En ik denk niet dat de verzekeringsmaatschappij een zilveren sponsor was. IOA is een platina sponsor geworden. Dus we hebben een nieuwe sponsor van 5000 dollar en het geld is al binnen. Ze hebben het gisteren of eergisteren overgemaakt, denk ik.

Dus... Fantastisch.

We hebben tot nu toe 15.000 dollar in de pot. EHM, hebben jullie al reacties gekregen van de vorige sponsors? Ik weet dat jullie een e-mail hebben gestuurd of een contract hebben getekend.

No, from all previous sponsors to see if there is interest in sponsoring. Have you received anything else? She has, for example, sent a few emails about the Ranger Run.

Is there anything else coming in? I'm not entirely sure. I'm sure she's having sex, so...

Yes, EHM? Yes? EHM, please let us know when new money is coming in.

Ja, want ik ga iedereen bellen. Ik wil niemand lastigvallen als ze al betaald hebben.

Enne, zou je ons ook even een e-mail kunnen sturen met de informatie over het binnengekomen geld?

I'll let you know after this meeting and I'll come back next week with an update.

Thank you.

And then we still have the cadence on the flyer. We usually work the flyer weekly when there are changes, for example when we add sponsors as soon as they pay. They don't want to add sponsors themselves, but it is advisable that they only add the sponsor when the money is in. And if you can send the flyers to the committee members so that everyone has new flyers weekly, we can distribute them and cast more sponsors.

Does everyone have the sponsor package? Okay.

Could you send that to me? Okay. Yes, because I think I already have a sponsor. Oh, good. That means I still need $500, but $500 is $500. Certainly. I have to go to Baptist. Is there anything else? Any other updates about the campaign?

No, I don't think so. We are now going to set the deadlines for the press. The supplier who was so stingy last year with donating the bags and offering the shirts and medals at an unbelievable price, has now moved on independently. I hope he can continue to support us in the same way, but I'm not sure. I'm going to talk to him next week.

I will keep you informed via AYW. She will pass that on.

Yes. Good. Okay. Do we have to approve a motion for the subcommittee? I saw something about marketing.

Yes, I contacted them with our advertising bureau. They are making new material for social media and probably also for the flyer. That can only be done when that is done. I would record contact with marketing to see how long it takes before the new logo is ready. We have decided to renew the medals in the previous committee meeting, if that is possible. I did not know if it was possible to use that small chain instead.

The identification plate, although it looks pretty and I think it looks very nice.

That small chain would be cute if it was a movable chain. Not like that chain that Agent Amador has around his neck. Such a crab chain, yes. But then smaller.

But good, yes. I can draw text, great. That's it, I think that's all for you.

Yes. EHM, I would like to ask if you can provide a price calendar for the reindeer with all actions and prices. Okay, and she sent us the ones from last year, so that we can approve them. It will probably be the same as last year. And she wanted to know when you would like to start and end the prizes and actions.

Oh yes, let's take the ones from last year, because we will probably approve them exactly the same.

Yes, so then last year, what was last year again? And we will probably approve something of the same kind.

It went... Last year well. Yes, we have many runners who perform really well and they... Is it contract? Met de... Organisatie van de wedstrijd al rond?

Ik weet het niet zeker. Ik heb nog niets gehoord. Ik kan navragen of het... Contract is afgerond en dan moeten we de website online hebben.

Ja, hoe het ook heet, Eventbrite.

Nee, het is geen Eventbrite. Het is een rare naam.

Zo'n rare naam voor de...

Registratie.

Ja, het is geen Eventbrite. Het is een eigen website.

Nou.

Ik weet het niet.

Kahu of Zowietz. Zowietz. Kahu of Zowietz is de naam van de website.

Kijken wanneer de website actief zal zijn. Nou, ik denk niet dat hij actief zal zijn voordat het contract is afgerond. Give us an update about those things. Send us an email. Let us know via the prize channel. Just send us your old list of prizes. Let us know if the contract with the race coordinator is around. And when the website will be active. And where the website can be used for registration. Thank you. Okay. And something else.

I will check the deadlines for printing as soon as I have an appointment with the printer, so that we know what sponsors can promise and how long they have the time, because the municipality's policy is that they will not distribute printing work until sponsors are paid and the money is in the municipality.

Oh, thank you.

Okay, update from the subcommittee monuments. The only update is this one from a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce a few weeks ago. Senator Brian Abdullah was there, Tomio was there too and I gave them a briefing package with a financing request for the monument. I gave that to Elisha and he advised me to ask for $200. He said there was a precedent of $250 in Miami Springs. They have just raised $250 from the state for the repair of the monument in Miami Springs. EHM, so he said, you know, request $250. To ask for that, the request from the municipality must come. So I spoke to Vice Mayor Brian Morera and he has set up a new agenda item that has been adopted in the last council meeting. This has made it a request to finance the state legislature. In this way, it comes as a formal request to the municipality. EHM? Jalen, can you prove me a favor? Do you know Olivia? Olivia of the subsidies. Yes, that kind of things. She usually keeps herself busy with that kind of requests. Can you make sure that she gets a copy of the resolution and the notes in which it is accepted? So that... The person she invites to follow up that member of the state makes sure that it happens.

I let it run through the Chamber of Commerce.

No, no, no. No, the council accepted it. The council accepted a resolution. Vice Mayor Moira has adopted a resolution as a new agenda item, in which $250,000 per month is sought, one of the priorities of the municipality in terms of legislation financing. Thank you, I thought it was 250 or 250. What are you asking exactly? Who are you asking? It comes from the municipality, the senator of the state, the senate of the state. It is a bill. It actually runs through the entire House of Representatives and the Senate of the State. And the request is for $250,000, but it has gone to a lease, the chief of staff of Brian Abalo. He must now resign, because he will become... ...vice governor. Yes, he is now vice-governor. And that is a standard request for veterans. Yes, so it has been submitted earlier and Tom Breedzio is also aware of it. And so, eh, and I'm not sure where they are playing. So that's where we are now. EHM, so get in touch with Olivia and make sure that the process runs through the municipality. Another question, is that enough or are you going to ask for more money? No, we have already asked the province, eh. Last time we submitted a resolution to the Military Commission, eh. The Commission for Military Affairs of the province, in which we sought the province to allocate a subsidy of $ 200,000 to the municipality of Miami Lakes for the construction of the veteran monument. Hoeveel hebben jullie aangevraagd? 200.000, dus 200.000 en 250.000. De provincie kan dat misschien niet helemaal betalen. Ik heb al gesproken met de plaatsvervangend stafchef van senator René Garcia, eh, Lauren, en ze gaan iets doen. Zegt, we gaan iets doen, dat is beter dan niets. EHM, ze kunnen misschien niet alles financieren en ik heb er ook al met senator René Garcia over gesproken, dus dat is de stand van zaken. Kortom, met het monument blijven we lokaal zo goed mogelijk geld inzamelen en kijken we of deze. Financieringsaanvragen via het wetgevingsproces worden goedgekeurd. Wat zijn de totale kosten? Hoeveel gaat het kosten? 400.000. We hebben 450 aangevraagd. Wanneer gaan ze dat doen? Wanneer hebben we de ontwerpen? We hebben al ontwerpen. Ja, en we hebben al een locatie.

Heb je er een?

Ja, ik kan je die laten zien. Ik denk dat ik je die al heb laten zien. En dat is nog maar fase 1. Er komt nog een fase 2. Die leeg zal zijn. En dan hebben we een toezegging van 35. That's right, we have 35, that's 30,000. And we have about 50,000. So we do have some money. Yes, yes, it's in this package. Yes. Given the situation. Okay. Where is it? You've already arranged that. I think it's on paper.

No, it's in the agenda package. There is the general fund and in the notes of the subcommittee for the monument.

Yes, I look at our budget. I think we still don't have a separate post. We still need $ 32,000. So that's the money, I think. We have $32,000, $35,000 of a claim. From one donor and about $5,000 collected by the American Legion. Okay, the parade, there is a meeting of the subcommittee for the parade on September 8th, if you want to be there. Het is een van die rare vergaderingen waarbij we, als je komt opdagen, bepaalde dingen moeten doen, maar het is eigenlijk een informeel samenkomen. Wat ben je? Ik weet het niet. Heel goed geheim. Maar ik zeg je... Eh... Donderdag. 98, sorry. Dinsdag. Half zeven. Wie heeft er recht op? Niemand. Alleen ik.

Ja, alleen.

I, I only inform you, so that you don't have to be there. No, oh, because there is a subcommittee. There are other subcommittees with a lot of people. So it is the Gonzales family that organizes the parade.

What is her name? She too, the Schreeuwster. She is so amazing. She is amazing.

She is so amazing.

I'm going to let her present something for me. I don't know why.

Fantastic. Great, great. And we have to be ready at the same place. It's just like you're in the crowd in September. After this year, but that's normal. So, he's there. Right, let's move on, okay. So, 8 September, 7.30. No one has to be there except me. Just for information. EHM, but you are welcome to watch it, I think. But EHM, hey, new business, the 911 ceremony. We don't really have much to do there for safety. EHM, maar ze hebben al een flyer verspreid. Weet je de tijd en plaats? Ik denk dat het tien uur ochtends is en het is in een veteranenpark.

Het is van tien tot twaalf uur in Veterans Park, ja.

Oké, dus je kunt komen. Ik ben zo klaar. Hoe moeten we ons daarvoor kleden? Wat je nu draagt is prima. Nogmaals de tijd. Tien uur ochtends. Ja, tien uur ochtends. Dan het... Next point B9. The route reconnaissance. I'm going to discuss this offline with agent Amedoor so that we can arrange a route reconnaissance to look at. Where we need police presence and barricades. Good, the next point is the Fish Tournament. EHM 9C takes place on June 26, 2027. EHM, I have spoken to the representative of the Chamber of Commerce. This is something that the Veterans Commission and the Chamber of Commerce do together. It is intended to collect money for the American Legion Post 4. EHM, it will be a very nice event. EHM. De vertegenwoordiger van de Kamer van Koophandel zei dat er drie jachthavens bij betrokken zijn, EHM, Caribbean. All over Black Point. Black Point, en ze hopen 100 tot 300 boten te kunnen werven. EHM, en het kost 400 dollar per boot. Dus voor vier vissers, elke extra visser kost 50 dollar. You get those super cool fisherman's shirts, you know, those light shirts that are there in the sun to dry. EHM, and at the same time we go to the veteran park. Fishing with veterans. We're going to have a barbecue at his house and fish in the lake at the same time. Will that be official? Officially more? What is that? Will that become an official event? Fishing? Yes, the veteran committee has approved this fishing tournament, just like the municipal council. As soon as the date is closer, we will also hold a subcommittee meeting for this. On June 26, 2027, if we exceed that date, they can close it. That's right. He already has contact. With me recorded. What do they get if I use it? Hey, the service for fishing and wild management. Do you also have a timetable? Fishing. Well, the event in the park starts at 9 o'clock. 12, 12. And it goes on until about 8 or 9 o'clock. And then that of 8, well, probably around 8 o'clock. No, around 7 o'clock. And I tell you. The one in the morning is there, because we are going to do the price extension in the park. So those guys go, you know, into the water at 5 o'clock with their hangers. Stop. And at 3 o'clock in the afternoon out of the water again. You have to give them the time. There must be a jury member who keeps an eye on everything and gives him the time to get here. Do you understand what I mean? Yes, yes, so that takes time. And oh, so the shopping malls arranged most of this. Ze hebben me alles gegeven wat ze nodig hadden. Dus wij zijn er om te helpen en te promoten, ul. En ul, we krijgen vrijwilligers, weet je, waarschijnlijk fijn om te helpen. Ul, dus het ziet er best goed uit. Het wordt een interessant evenement. Als we de helft van wat we proberen te doen voor elkaar krijgen, is dat al geweldig. Dus dat is mooi meegenomen. Hoe dan ook.

Ik ben onder de indruk, jullie hebben veel projecten lopen.

Oh yes. That's right. Good so. Yes, well, we have the support of the municipality, the Chamber of Commerce and all that kind of stuff, you know. It's one of those things where you get rich, you know, as if I'm on the shoulders of roses, you know, the chairmen and vice-chairmen, you know, so we have real good credibility and a good history. Okay, that was it for the Last five minutes.

May I ask about the contract? Er is een contract. Het is rond. Ja, volledig getekend. Prima. Kun je het me sturen? Ja.

Geweldig. Dus de website zou nu online moeten zijn. Mooi papier. Misschien wordt het ooit nog iets waard. Ja, ja, ik ga terug. Ik weet vrij zeker dat ik kan tekenen. Ik weet vrij zeker dat het nog heel lang niets waard zal zijn. Oké, eh, nog andere punten, andere kwesties? Oké, motie tot schorsing, tweede. Oké, het is zes over zeven. Heel erg bedankt, dames. Er is veel aan de hand. Doe dat altijd.
