Community Relations Board - Regular Meeting

I appreciate everybody's work all year, so thank you.

So you want to call the roll, Angie, please?

Okay, thank you. All right, so here you have our agenda. And Commissioner, do you have anything about the report? Oh, thank you.

Anybody read over any changes they want to make to the minutes that Angie sent out? Okay, all those in favor of the minutes as published, say aye.

Sorry, someone has to make a motion first. I'll make the motion to approve the minutes of November 13th.

And I need a second. Second. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Motion passed. So we first want to talk about the Singer Fest. Frank, do you want to say anything?

Yes. I was really very happily surprised. It was standing room only. The people were so engaged. They were so excited. And it was really really wonderful to see that. It was great that Mitch Kinzer spoke, who was the mayor at the time and had a lot of interaction with him. I spoke a little bit because my mom used to meet Isaac Bischoff's singer for coffee at Sheldon's Drugstore. But yeah, it was good. I think that the speaker, though he was very, very knowledgeable, his His speech didn't flow. It's hard to sometimes get somebody who is an expert and is a really good, engaging speaker. I felt l

Yeah, I thought it was very nice. Isaac, what's his name? Isaac.

That was good. I thought both events, people really liked the other food too, the klezmer and the kosher foods set up that was out there. It went like about golems and things like that. It was just very hard to hear, but I thought that helped.

But it was very good. It really was a good party. A lot of residents talked. They stayed. And it looked really nice out there in the green space. Very nice. Okay. So we should thank who? Was that the tourist board? The tourist board, yes. So thank them in the minutes, too. That was well done. Okay. 6B, community resource. So I asked you all to

today here's Joanna's right through the chair yeah the vice chair she asked me to send these to you to provide these to you guys

Mary, did you have anybody you wanted to share?

I had one that I mentioned before when we first started talking about it. They have not gone back to me initially. So I'm still waiting for just a little email back from them. So once I get them, I'll send them over to them. Send them right to Frank.

I have one more coming to Frank. Community Resource Fair and Wishing Tree. So did we pick a date? I don't think we picked it. Did we pick a date?

When did we do the Wishing Tree last year? Was that the morning? It was morning. So that's And then Frank, you'll be, so Frank, is this right? You will be contacting each one to see if they would like to, so what it is, I think it's just a simple table they would need with some brochures and people that walk over to them to ask what group they represent. Is that our idea?

I'm going to have you call the ones I sent because I didn't know the date or time.

Did she send you an email? Yes, an email. Okay. Can you write her that the date will be February 22nd? 10 to noon, Frank?

talk about the wishing tree so we want to do that right beside it yeah okay and same as last year everything the same yeah so is there anything we want to change maybe we'll improve like we just need the we needed a little bit of a different paper right yeah we'll work on the paint and maybe like the string color just like we did it so last minute last time but um yeah i think honestly it would be good It attracts people and you can eat it while listening to everyone so it's a little bit more engaging than just walking up to people for pamphlets.

So the way I was envisioning it, so if there's a table here about Hatsala, I would go over to that table. So we just walk over, hi, how are you? What do you do? Oh, you have a magnet. And then they could talk, right? And the same with poison information. Do we want, I was saying, maybe our fire department? Could we ask our fire department and police? We could have. Do the police do anything like safety with bike helmets or anything? Probably. I think so, yeah. I'm not sure there's...

being stolen. I'm seeing on this, I have a group chat, like every day somebody's screaming from the sink.

Is she from the ice cream? I don't think so.

I've been at one of these years ago and A bike company came and just made sure the seat was the height, filled their tires, put some oil. So that could be a future event. I'd rather, and then give them helmets and locks.

Maybe this could be her kind of like soft watch. Oh, I like that word. Kind of like a soft watch. Yeah, that's actually great.

Yes, that's what they did at the one I was at. Yes, I don't know if that's still something. So do you want one of us to talk to Officer J or the police chief?

Alright, so who wants to, should we contact, do you want to be the lead, do you want to talk to her and see if she would do one with us and Youth Council? Youth Council can certainly be the lead and then we'll just come in like we did for the gun violence one because we didn't have to. We didn't have to do anything else.

So apropos to that, I just picked up my bike from servicing JB or JD Bikes on 74th and Collins. Sam Doner, super nice guy. They might want to do that pro bono is to come out and check bikes for, like you said, the height, the oil, air. So it might need to be on a Sunday because they're closed Sunday, I think. Maybe. Could be. I mean, it's a thought. I mean, it's publicity for him just like... Sure. Yeah, yeah.

And do we can, like, we have a little money, like, give them a, like, $250, what do you call it? Not a donation, but... Stipend. Honoraria for helping us out. Do we want to wait until we talk? How should we proceed? Do we want to see if officers, who should, which police person should we contact? Officer J or the Chief?

Okay, I have his number. Do you want me to call him? Yeah. You'll call Michelle and I'll talk to him and...

Chief, okay. And then, what's that gentleman's name?

Sam, and I can send you the phone number. I remember one of the block parties a while ago, They had a paint your helmet thing for the kids. And so they had a whole table encouraging helmet awareness. I don't know, I could volunteer with my husband to talk about concussions that he's seen from kids not wearing helmets.

Yeah, this war. Because if your commission doesn't get voted in or out, then we could be stripped of this too. I don't think we have it.

If it's already planned, though, does that...

Okay. Is there a date? Do you have any dates in March? And is there anybody that's doing anything about scooters, like safety? Like, what can you really do? Are there locks for scooters?

No, but the kids aren't wearing helmets. Yeah, I think that.

Maybe parent and child, and also these kids, especially like the under 12 girls, not abiding by street signs and things, just like going through stop signs and And just talking to each other while they're riding. On their phones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And two people.

Yeah, two on the scooter. So a March event for bike and possibly scooter safety? Yes.

Okay. All right, so how do you want us to proceed? So you'll talk to Michelle. I will. So Gerardo. Rita, I'd like you to talk to Sam because I find And I'll talk to the police. The tentative date would be in March. March. Is there any times in March? When's Passover Purim Easter? I don't know what Purim is. I'm sorry. I have to Google it.

I think instead of giving, I don't know, this is just a thought, instead of an honorarium to give him, he should be auctioning, you know, like doing a raffle of a helmet or a helmet and lock or something and collect, you know, and get a QR code and collect intel. And that's, you know, for him that's worth a lot more than $250 and then we don't have to pay anything. I'm big on saving money.

It was the fireplace room. The hot chocolate was warm. Yeah, I'm waiting for it.

I don't think we're really. So quorum is March 2nd and 3rd and Passover is until April 1st. So we're good in March after the 3rd. Easter, when is Easter? In March. So, Angie, can you somehow send our board an invitation to the Youth Council for January 7th?

And then I'll send you a reminder, see if anybody wants to join me, and then I'll talk, I guess, at the public comment or something.

We're not going to know very much. I mean, we're not going to meet before January 7th, this committee, so we can tell them what we're planning to do and we would like to join them, you know, in a small role, possibly. Does that sound good? Rita, does that sound okay? Yeah, it sounds great. Okay. All right, so Yeah. See if they can both meet me. Okay. All right. And March, Frank, did you find the date? Or should we wait for, we should wait for the youth council?

It should be the youth council picking the date, right?

Well, we should go through, check the calendar for what is already going on in March if there is. Yeah. Like our monthly block party and when's the election? What date? 17th.

So they spoke about having it in either January or February.

Okay, so January, we need to be ready in case they wanted February. That'd be okay? The Youth Council was thinking February.

So actually, they're meeting January 7th, so they should pick a date already. Okay, and then I can pass you the date. And then I tell Rita, and then I talk to the police.

Or wait until January after we hear if they want us?

So we'll have one more month for this community resource. So Frank, we'll have a recap of that for January, okay? For the community resource fair and the wishing tree.

So Joanna would need to... She has one email.

It might be better to start with the phones. I mean, I have to see what I have in that work because it's a lot of... All right, I'll work on getting the emails.

Do you want to call them first and then send it to Frank? They would just set up a table.

Magnets or something? Yeah, they do that sometimes and they all get adopted.

So they do turn out. Frank, would you contact them? This one would need a motion. We'll need a motion for food to buy, right? So this was one of the ones I sent Frank. This is... They take a bullet and they pound out the powder. And then they attach it here. So it's one less bullet, one more life is their theme. It's for mothers who have lost children to gun violence. I'll pass it around. This is the one I made. So let me tell you what the cost. I've been to two events with them. And people will like, they'll make an extra. $15 to the organization because they like it. So let me tell you, it's

Do we need a motion to hold this event? Which one? The community resource tables and the wishing tree. You can make a motion.

11 to 2? Yeah. Okay. On February 22nd, was that right?

And this is going to be at the community center or the 96 viewpoint?

There was no parking. Oh, that's right. There was horrible parking for that night. We had it over there. Yeah.

You're not supposed to, you're supposed to walk.

Yeah, but I brought two 90-year-olds. Oh, okay. Alert. Oh, we could have had little rides.

Okay, so is there a second? Second. All those in favor?

Say aye. Aye. Motion approved. Should we do a budget for the food? So we want pizza and water?

Yeah. Okay. Do they pay? Do the vendors pay to get a table?

No. No. Because we want them to come freely.

How much was the pizza last night for the Aria Gray?

I think they did like half of it, right? Or did they do all the pizzas?

Okay, but this would be us. Yeah, of course. How much did we do for the Palm Branch?

Another thought that I had, how many tables can we fit? Because then we may have to fraction down our resources.

I think it was roughly, I think there was one for like $164, then I ordered another one for like $90. Let's do $500. Okay. Just in case.

Gerardo was real good at getting the people last time into the event. We'll have him as the bouncer. Maybe you're good at that.

Do they have to show proof of... No, just like they want to go to the beach. Say they just want to walk to the beach. They would just walk through.

Some people are just walking through. Oh, my God. They're just like, Yeah, if you're just walking through, they're not checking. Well, they're supposed to.

Usually it's just the people going to the pool and then getting teached there. But if they're just going through, they would go there. Oh, okay.

Well, I mean, that's... Well, yeah, with the wishing tree that last time, I mean, we were pulling people off of the... Yeah, they would come off of the pass.

Mary and Gerardo. Rita is good, I can tell.

sure that the fishbowl the roads are open yeah and the just in case it's an event a rain event sure um did we pass that to five hundred dollars no angie i will make okay i'll make a motion to approve five hundred dollars for pizza and water for the community resource fair and wish and tree event and and you want to tie on the ribbons and the um And then the paper for the wishing tree. It's like $50.

And then do you want to do the bracelets as well? Well, I was going to make that another motion. Okay, okay. So then I guess to add on to that motion, it will also be another $50 for biodegradable paper and string for the wishing tree.

Question. Pizza, stand-alone. What about approaching the Grove and seeing if they want to provide pastries or cookies or something like that? I mean, there's a big opportunity there because if you don't ask, the answer's always no. And I think if you ask, like, you know, nine out of the ten restaurants, they would willingly participate. Participate.

pizza from the Grove? Yeah. No, not necessarily the pizza, but I'll say... We eat kosher, too.

Yeah, yeah, kosher. So the pizza, was it... Yeah, yeah. So they're probably, you know, they'd probably be willing to do the pizza, but...

I don't know if she sold it. She's a former attorney. Jessica. Jessica Weiss. Yeah, Jessica Weiss. And she had a cart at one of our meetings. Yeah, the little ice cream cart. Yeah, a little ice cream cart. So there's a brand new, I just got a coupon today for another, like the 15th ice cream place. You know, my husband wanted to open Carvel's. You know, if any of these other people have cards and they want to...

I'll be glad to talk them into doing it. And Jessica was on our board.

Well, why not? So if I could have a formal letter from the town, from you... Or somebody like, you know, thank you for participating in our upcoming event. We could do a boilerplate and just use it for different things. And I'll walk up and down the street. I live in downtown, basically. And just say, here's an opportunity. I did this for Stephanie Trump and I have a dream foundation. And I couldn't believe the stuff people were like, yeah, yeah, here, take, yeah. You know, like... Some people are so willing because they understand the power of marketing. If you give something away, it's going

Okay, so did we finish the first, did we vote on the five? There was a second. Okay, Rita, you want to make a second? All those in favor say aye. Aye. in case we need to get an ice cream cart from Rita's? Is it Rita's? It could be Rita's.

Something easy. I mean, you don't want to bring soft ice cream. Carvel has those, you know, flying saucers. Something that you pull out of the ice cream cart. And also, it's very festive, and the kids get really excited

Say, I want everyone, this person would be our best, but they want $250.

We can cap it at 100 or 50 or whatever we're anticipating. We run out, we run out. Yeah, we run out first come first serve.

And the same vendor who's going to give us the free ice cream, in my vision, would have coupons. I'm so sorry we ran out, but please accept that as a two-for-one. So that at least they're making some money back and then that two-for-one usually turns into... Something else, yeah. Let's do 75.

Well, that's just... Yeah, yeah. For three... The whole event would be for pizza and ice cream for 75 people.

75 people. And also we can offer them another incentive to do for free is we will, you know, special thanks. We'll give them a recognition.

Exactly, then they can promote on their social media.

And do we just find kosher pizza just to make it easier? Yeah, easy.

What about, are you going to go to Grove to check? I'm going to go to Grove. They all make the pizzas and then you could ask them for a donation of dessert or something. Yeah. Because if we're buying it from Fialikoff's. Right, right. Yeah, right.

Yeah. I mean, if you have the contact person at Fialikoff, I could talk to them too. You know, we're trying something out here. You know, it's worked in other communities. I've done this in all kinds of... where I do, at the Miami Beach, at the Michael and Russell JCC, I had a zero budget, and I did like this phenomenal event with like 20,000 people. Zero budget. I got everything donated. Miami Dolphins, Panthers, everything.

So. Well, if you know a sports star, they could come and sit there. Is there a mascot for any of these teams? We need a little pickle All those in favor say aye. Aye. No, motion passes. All right, are you interested in this for hands-on?

I think it would be really nice. I think it would also... Pull some people in. Yeah, I mean, it's gorgeous. We're tying with the youth council event last week. Yes, exactly.

And they'll be, I think they just hit people. I've been in a room where it's done.

Wow. Is there like a YouTube video of somebody doing it? Not sure. Because then they could understand it better.

I mean, I think it's great, but maybe we...

I've been at two events with it. for the, let me get the title on the group.

Is there a motion to approve $500 for Bullets for Life?

Yeah, I'll make the motion to approve $500 for Bullets for Life.

So that's for the materials, and then people come and make the bracelets themselves?

And then we pay the $500, then they can take these.

And the idea is there's one less bullet on the street to kill a kid or try a vaccine. And it's a conversation starter.

So while people are making it, they can have a piece of pizza, understand, and maybe get a little quick lesson.

This is quite popular. I've been at two events and we have like three or four tables just for this. Wow.

So the 500 is going to cover all the materials?

I'm thinking maybe this should just be a standalone because it might be too overwhelming.

Also getting something that you create yourself, it also does draw more attraction to the event itself. Right.

Okay, let's try. All right. So Mary made the motion. Do you want to second, Rita? I'll second. Okay, any discussion on it? Okay, all those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion passes. All right, so What was this? The Bullets for Life.

So, just so I understand, the Community Resource Fair is, what's the theme?

Community resources in our community that can help the community.

Help the community, kind of the global, so mental health and safety.

Wellness, would that include any of the... physicians on Harding Avenue, the dermatologists. She had a booth at the grand opening. Do you know her? Yeah, yes, Sarah.

Do you want to go to her too? We can walk together and have lunch at Bagel Bus. That's right. Everybody, we'll eat at Bagel Bus after.

First we'll pitch them and then we'll say, hey, we're here for So are the vendors paying for the tables?

One of our roles here is to help and care we would call a quick meeting how can we help out by getting some right is that what your vision the vet could be a resource yeah if there was another shooting what should we do to get things out the urgent care they should be involved for sure like the biggest store on Harding they don't take a lot of insurance that's why it's

Yeah, but if you don't have the insurance to pay for it, you can't. Like I had to take a friend in to explain it to them, and they said, oh, we don't take that insurance. Oh. Okay, so they're a little restricted. They're trying to get other insurance companies, but no.

I mean, if they want a table and pass it out, why not? I mean, like services, like home services, like plumbing and AC? No. No, we don't want to get into that? No. It's service, not... It's like something free. It's free to, you know, you call us, we'll help you. Gotcha. Right, Frank? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

Yeah, I'm wondering what the Humane Society sent you, Tony's... bring their pets to hospitals to, you know, to consult patients.

Is this the same group you called Frank for?

No, I, no, I just, uh, I just sent you... Me or Frank? Mrs. Debbie, both of you. I just... Frank is going to do the content. Yeah, Tony, she's with the Humane Society. She's a good resource. And you can just ask her, is there anything else you do?

Yeah, yeah, um, yeah, emotional support. Okay, um... Do we have a local fire department or are we community-based?

Would you put them down too? You know, because they can put, like, change your batteries on April, you know, your smoke detectors. Sometimes they give out batteries. Okay.

January 7th, because if February is that safety month, they'll pick a date on January 7th.

So I'll put out to you what out the date so I can send it to our committee here for what date it is. Yes. Okay. All right. Sorry to digress. Go back first. Okay. Anything else? Okay. I'm looking forward to that. And if you're thinking I think that's what Hillary had to do last time.

We're a municipality and we don't pay right away or something.

Or is our policy wait until after they show up? We don't want to pay and they don't come?

I'll find out if they want the money first. Okay, good. Okay, next item. Lending library for books and TED items. That's Joanna's. Do we wanna defer that? Anybody have, Frank, do you have anything on that?

Now, is this a book? I can't... I think this was pet items.

I think we were going to start with the pet items. So did we approve any money for this yet or should we wait?

And the landscaping, is that for a bid or did they choose somebody already?

I can definitely suggest someone. Well, they have to go through a process. Yeah, yeah.

So, okay. Should I put this, do we need to talk about this anymore?

a 60-monthly book club. So this is July.

I was going to ask... Because you have to announce it. Don't you announce the book? Exactly.

Yeah, there was something. So do we want, let's start with, do we want January? Is she available? When is she available?

If we have it after our meeting, then we have one more time to plan it.

Um. Did you want another month or do you want another date in January, another month? Dr. Seuss Day is, like, March 2nd, you know, and a lot of kids are doing that in school. This could be our adult version.

9 is only until 6 p.m. 6 is early. I mean, you know.

Oh, the park. Inside? It was cold. Parking.

There you go again. I mean, for the book club? I mean, that's a a public place, not people's homes. Yeah. Yeah, that's like a private place. Okay.

And they really like this last one, too.

It'd be the 22nd. Oh, I can't count Hillary's birthday. It's in grade.

I don't have to be there. If that's the best day, please.

That's my next question. When does the Gazette go to print?

Okay. I used to run a magazine so I know that you have to have everything in a certain date and it goes and then there's only days to print it. So do you have a set deadline every month of file material?

Deadline. Yeah. Okay. So that's, we should work around that for relevance too.

So when would we be able to announce the...

So February 22nd is our... January. No, February 22nd. So it could be in the Gazette. Oh, I see. So we could do something early in February. That way it would be able to be put in the Gazette and books could be gathered. Right.

It also gives people a little bit of time to read.

12th is Lincoln's birthday, so Lincoln was a reader.

About the 12th. Is that our next meeting?

Yeah, the 14th is Valentine's Day. People might be going away for weekends. Yeah, yeah.

And the park is open, could stay open until 8 o'clock?

We were there until 7.30, 8. Something like that. But that was a different kind of event. Okay, and then, so we're looking at two hours, six to eight. And do we run a budget? Do we want to put in pizza and water again?

But you could order it for us and set up a delivery, right?

I'm like, I'm snoring a lot of stuff already.

I mean, we had... Do you screw up things? One of the events, we had pastries that they donated from the ex-roller pin. No, that wasn't a... I thought it was a donation. No, it wasn't a... Yeah, we bought them. Wow. That might just be enough.

So how about we want a $500 budget for that?

You know, I'm not going to be speaking out of turn, but... LG, his daughter started making cupcakes. I don't know if she's going to be doing this as a side hustle, but I got a box. Are we allowed to do that? Do a private vendor like that? I think so. Kosher. They're definitely kosher. I mean, tiramisu and caramel.

Okay, do you want me to call Apple G? I don't know. I'll speak to them because I just taste them. Tell them I didn't get any.

Black people again? I don't know. For a book club? No.

Okay, how about 50? Maybe 20 people come, I think.

How many people came for Cinefest today?

Yeah. Cinefest was over 50 probably, and there were people coming in. But that was well promoted, it was a long time, and it was a historical event. I mean, I've been part of the book club, so it's not more than 15 people in people's homes.

Well, I'm over that. She can't do that date, I mean. Are you allowed to send Angie an email? She would send us and we could say yes that day. It would be good for me to help.

Is there a reason why we came to you on the 19th or the 26th? of February, those are both Thursdays as well. So we could also just have those in the back of it. So she says she can't do that.

So in the 26th, that could be a contingency date. That's a? Is that PNC? Penny and Tony. Oh. Yeah.

I would have a conflict then of PNC. Let's stick with that first week of February and see what we can do.

So we're going to make this a monthly event?

We'd have to start planning the next one. I was thinking I'll reach out to my friend in New York. He might be coming out. It would be much too expensive to fly him down here. He's a Floridian. He's a... I mentioned he's a Harvard professor and he runs the 92nd Street Y program, Dane Rosenbaum, and he wrote a book called How Sweet It Is about 1970s Miami Beach. He's a little controversial at times. He's very controversial.

Yeah, he's, I mean, I don't know. I was in something and some people were just hating it. But he's friends with them. One of my friends is a manatee, too.

Like a campfire. I mean, otherwise? Yeah, let's just see how this one goes.

or do we have one for the date for Ana Menendez?

Would you like to make a motion? Are you going to put that with her, what dates she prefers?

Well, I'd rather get a motion to do it that way, once he gets the date. If it's the date we want, then Frank can get in the Gazette. And if it's the other dates, Angie's going to send us an email to see if we can attend. And then we can still get it in the Gazette.

So Frank, state what you want us to say for the motion.

All those in favor, say aye. All right, so then we'll get, and if the date is different, then we'll just see if we can attend, and it'll go back to Angie and Jill Belfranc, and then we can get in the Gazette. Okay. And then the next meeting, we can do the cupcake prices. Yeah. Are there hot water urns anywhere?

Okay, tea and cupcakes, that'd be great. Unless you want to put brandy in it or whiskey in the tea.

If we had the house over here, can you imagine?

It would be so ideal. There was an old cheers one, they had a book talk in the back and they just had whiskey in the back.

It's like, yeah, you hit a little bit and then all the shots.

New York, they play, young people, they play big guns and take a shot at everybody. Okay, good, good, good, well done.

Is there room at the 96th Street Park? Yeah.

But that room where we had the lecture, where they do yoga and everything, would there be, could they Like when you go to an Airbnb and they have a bunch of books, isn't it like that? See, I think it's going to be, no, this is the London Library of Things. Yeah, that's all.

I forgot to put on the walking tools. Do I have to make a motion to do that? Can we just brief on that? Somebody make a motion to add A discussion on the walking event this Sunday.

I will make a motion to add the walking event this Sunday as 6G.

All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion passes. Okay, Rita. Okay, do we have flyers?

Is there another way of printing them? Where would they go? Well, I was going to take them to the restaurants, to Harding, because tomorrow is the only time.

I couldn't print anything because I was out of town.

Let's leave it. Let's leave it, Emma. because it's so soon, and then next time we'll know how to do it.

How are we going to get the word out? Well, it's been out.

Well, yeah, because there was too much... We were hacked. No, I made a whole new chat. Yeah, because that happened. They hijacked the chat.

I might have added it to my Surfside updates because I send out emails.

I mean, it's on the billboard, too, when you drive in.

I know. I said what time? 8? 8 a.m. We're at the Turtle. 88th Street. 88th Street.

Also 88th Street at the beach. at the beach, and we're going to walk down to the Fresh Market.
