For any item that is before us on this agenda? Seeing no one for public comment, public comment period is now closed.

Good afternoon. So the first resolution for your consideration is a resolution of the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust with attachments approving the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust meeting dates for 2024-2025 calendar year as set forth in Exhibit A, attached and incorporated, providing for an effective date.

Do we have a motion?

Move it.

I have a motion and a second. All in favor?

All right.

The motion carries.

Thank you. Your second resolution is a resolution of the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust with attachments by a four-fifths affirmative vote pursuant to Section 18-85A of the Code of the City of Miami, Florida as amended after an advertised public hearing ratifying, approving, and confirming the Executive Director's finding attached and incorporated as Exhibit A waiving the requirements for competitive sealed bidding procedures as not practicable or advantageous to the trust to enter into a revocable license agreement with Palomino Ranch and Tours LLC, allowing it to operate guided horseback riding tours at the historic Virginia Key Beach Park, authorizing the executive director to accept an appropriate revenue generated from the RLA authorizing the executive director to negotiate and execute a revocable license agreement between the trust and palomino ranch and tours in a form acceptable to the city attorney further authorizing the executive director to negotiate and execute all other documents including amendments renewals and extensions all in forms acceptable to the city attorney subject to future allocations appropriations and budgetary approvals made in compliance with all applicable laws and provisions of the city code providing for an effective date

Yes. How many members do we have on the board? It's five plus two. What's a four-fifth? What's a four-fifth? I think we have it. Because we're only missing one, so that would be four-fifths. Commissioner Gabela, but he's not here. So Vince Brown is a member, and Miss Bonita Peabody Jones is another member. So it's the five of us plus two. Right. The five of us plus two, seven.

You would need six.

We have six. One, two, three, four, five, six. What kind of what? Insurance.

I have to double check with the contract, but we've worked closely with the risk department. The minimum requirements they succeeded, I believe it's a $2 million policy with workers comp if they have four employees or more. So we are making sure that whatever the city requires, we make that our standard as well. And I also have the vendor here if you have any questions.

We do. We have a hold harmless for both the city and for the trust within the agreement.

how many times he's voted to forfeit a variety of events.

Do I have a motion?

Motion.

I have a motion and a second. All in favor? Aye. Motion carries. Is that it?

Thank you. And the third resolution for consideration is a resolution of the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust with attachments approving and adopting a business and concept plan attached and incorporated as exhibit A or the Virginia Key Beach Museum to be located at historic Virginia Key Beach Park, providing for an effective date.

So this item now, it is significant because we are moving the needle toward realizing the museum that has been promised to the community for over 20 plus years. We are now accepting, the county has accepted our business plan, is that correct? Correct. Yes. And now we have it. So we're another step closer to realizing the vision of Miss Athlete Range and having a museum in this space. And I'm so proud to be a part of this trust and this body that we are getting the work done. that needs to be done to see this vision. Do I have a motion? I have a motion and a second. All in favor? Motion carries unanimously. And that concludes our Virginia Key Beach Trust Park meeting. And I said that backwards, but you know what I mean.

You might have one more discussion item.

It's just the quarterly meeting, which is required by our bylaws. You guys all have copies of that. That gives you our financials and updates every quarter.
