Awesome, thank you. All right, we're gonna go ahead and move on to order of business, deferrals, additions, deletions. I have one item to add. One second.

While you're while you're doing that, I'll make a motion. Um, there was a on under 8. It says 8 J. It should be 8 a. So I make a motion to amend. Correctly for 8 a on any business. I second.

Yeah, all right on favor. I guess I haven't changed. So we eat. AJ to 80. Oh, yeah. Let the record, let the record reflect that somebody just won't be perfect.

So that's actually the true writer.

Hmm. We're still adding Or, you know, organs. Or actually know

All right.

So the next one that I'm going to go ahead. We're going to add an item. We'll be requesting the placement of the town staff. Wait, hold on. No. A grant. Yeah. In the business. Town staff. Okay. There will be a motion to add agenda item 8B. and it will be town staff presentation of FRDAP grant applications for two pocket park playgrounds replacements. Is there a second? Second. Any discussion? No, seeing none. All in favor say aye. Aye. Move it. Any additions?

Additional additions? No, I already saw it. Okay. All right.

So we're going to go ahead and move on to public comments. Anyone from the public that would like to speak? No? Okay. So I would say for the sake of time, Yeah, we don't want to hold you back. Yes, we don't want to hold you back.

That's why I was going to ask when you want it. I was like, yes, yes.

Well, in that case, we're great. You can stay till 10 o'clock. No, they have to clean. She's just going to say presentation. Then we'll go back to that. Real quick.

Real quick. So hi, guys. Welcome. I am the Olivia Schock. I'm the Granted Governmental Affairs Manager for the town. So I just wanted to talk to you guys. This was an item that we brought to council last month in August. I can also stand up, but I don't know. So this is where submitting a grant application to do two playground replacements at many parks at P83 and 79. These are both on the west side of town. I'm happy to share a map to I don't know, like, I should have shared stuff with you.

Oh, what happened to the monkey? Yeah, it's gone.

No. It's white. Everybody's looking at it. Yeah, we had it back here.

It's been gone for a minute, and I don't know what happened to it. But, um, let me see.

I haven't felt that. I'm sure you can hear. My stuff will load.

Okay. There are these red dots over here in this neighborhood, kind of over by the community center. This is too small for me to show you guys, but just so you can see which part. I don't have the share ability, but they're over here on the west side of town over by Veterans Park, and then a little bit south, kind of in the Lake Elizabeth and... Down there? Yeah, yeah. Around this, around the Grand Jury Lake. These are two pocket parks. And then I can show you guys kind of what we're proposing to do. So essentially, these playgrounds, they've exceeded their useful life. There's a lot of damage to them. They're kind of corroded, rust in a lot of places. And really, they're just not up to standard anymore. So we're looking at doing two complete replacements of all the playground equipment, adding in some like sensory play add-ins to have more inclusive playgrounds, and really just replacing that both for safety, inclusivity, and just to have better playgrounds at these community parks. And this is kind of a little, just image of kind of the type of playground that we're trying to do so you guys can see the playground that we're talking about.

And what do you have now? Do you have a picture we have now?

Yeah, it's kind of similar to that, the rundown version of what I just showed you. My stuff is loading slowly down here. Any other questions while I try to load this?

What is the useful lifestyle of a counterpart?

depends a little bit on just wear and tear and what happens um i believe these ones have been around for like oh go ahead sorry i i entered for parts when i saw it so i'll have the answer to that um it's usually 20 to 25 years um but yeah i'd also like to say it depends on wear and tear these ones have been around for a while like we haven't this is part of a phased project where we're replacing a lot of playgrounds and equipment in and around town so we've done like for other replacements of different playgrounds on the east side and two on the west. And we've also replaced a bunch of benches. We've replaced the trash can facilities. Anything like that just to add in improvements where... And what's the average amount of these grants? So it's going to be $50,000 for each of them, but there's no town match for this. So this is basically taking money. These are projects that are budgeted for currently in the town's sinking fund. So these are projects that we would currently spend town money on. Then we would just be requesting grant funds where there's no match. So we'd be getting free money, essentially, to replace them in the town's budget and hopefully be able to do more.

Those grants would be only for parks then?

Only for parks, yeah, for these ones. But there is a, oh, here. I have to go find some of the images.

This is like... Could you send us a copy of those?

Those are Brent's work.

Huh? I know you said the initials, F-A-D-R-P. Oh, that's the FURDAT program, but it's Florida Recreation Development Assistance, and it's from Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Yeah, okay. Yeah, they do a bunch of different programs. Sorry. Also, here's like the existing park facilities at like one of these. They're just like really damaged, and there's a lot of like rust damage and stuff like that.

Because there's still, there's one that was like under the covers. No, that's a veterans park.

That's a veterans park, yeah. And a small little pocket park. Yeah, they're a pocket park, but they're just like rough on a lot of the stairs and like damaged on a lot of these things.

No, I don't.

Yeah, these are just, again, it's like a local, it's right in the corner. There's like two of them and they're on the corner intersections. I can send you guys all the details about this too for your minutes and everything like that. Yeah. Also, you have to remember all the street intersections and everything that you're doing. But yeah, so this would be, yeah, it's through the Department of Environmental Protection. This grant program, they do a lot with new parks and recreation facilities. We were pursuing these projects as, again, if you stay under this threshold, we don't have to provide a match for the program, which is obviously big and trying to save the town money on these existing projects. um that are really needed in these communities to help replace them and we were going to fund them anyway but again trying to find grants where we can save the town money and hopefully put it back into other parks in the community to help do other improvements so how do we decide that those two were the most needed they have a ranked list of the ones that are the worst that they essentially picked out of the worst projects we looked at we had done a bunch on the east side so then we picked a couple on the west side that were had some of the most damage. So that's how we decide. I think there's some other factors too, but that's the main one. They have a list of how old they are and how much damage they have and all that kind of stuff.

And there isn't a plan to increase the parking parts or get new ones or anything?

No, not at this time. We don't currently have any additional land that's, like, empty land.

I suppose, yeah.

For those pocket parks. So, currently, they're just trying to keep the pocket parks as they are, not stay in the footprint, but then just, like, improve the amenities. I wouldn't even say improve the amenities. Yeah, update.

Yeah, because I've been to a few of them in the world. I'm just trying to understand both of these communities because I know that there is some gated in there and then they then they're sub gated that are more difficult to get into. These are not in those areas where it makes it difficult for the community to get into, right?

Not sure if they're in the sub gated part. I do know that there are gated parts of these.

I know that initial community you have to go through, but anyway, it's just it's one that just monitors who's going in and out.

I believe because these are towns. land it is like they are open to anybody so i believe it's just in the regular gated part not the sub community but i'm not 100 sure i was trying to look to see which one it was just hard to see if you're going on and then one more question does your grants allow for like green space with benches and trees or just has to be playgrounds no no this program we can apply for a bunch of different stuff they have already replaced a bunch of the benches and things like that in a lot of these pocket parks So that was why we didn't pursue that.

It was only for replacement.

No, no, no. We can add new stuff at parks. That's encouraged.

The reason I ask is we have an item for the green space on Northwest 87th and 141st Street that we've been trying to do a green space for half 20 years grants to get that.

Yeah. You said on 87th and 141st. Yeah.

I'm trying to look at the area.

Right by the bridge.

Oh, over there.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, and you're trying to, it's currently... It's just grass. Just grass, and you wanted to turn it into...

The community here, we wanted to turn it into a little park, just a bench with a tree, kind of thing. A little walking, you know.

No playground.

Yeah.

Yeah. And there was, and do you know who owns it? Is it us?

No.

Okay. So that's going to be anything looking at grant funding. If we don't, that's going to be the big caveat for a lot of these is we have to show some type of site control of the thing.

We do control it though. We do maintain it.

Maintenance is different than having site control. So that's usually in the form of, in these cases, like we own these parks, we have a deed to the property. It can also be a lease or some type of agreement with the agency that owns it, stating that we have permission to do the project. So it can be anything like that. And that's going to be most grant programs that we apply for. We have to provide at least some type of documentation saying we have a right to build or place something kind of permanent on here. But yeah, again, that can't just be an agreement with the agency that owns it. But that would be the big caveat on trying to pursue a grant for that. But it is definitely something we can look at in the future if we're able to communicate with that agency and get permission.

If I can, can I put you in an email with Jeremy to see what that's going on?

Absolutely.

Perfect. Now that's where you're going with those two.

I also, if you guys ever want me to come to one of these two, I'm always happy to answer questions about other grant programs or projects that you guys have available. Or again, always email Jalyn or put me on stuff. And I may, my answer may be, no, it's not a good project to pursue a grant. But I would say I'm always happy to tell you like also what's needed to be able to do something like that. But yeah, site control would be the big thing for something like that.

Matching. A match is big.

That's going to be most grant programs. Now, I don't know exactly what you're looking. If you're just looking to do like a bench and a trash can or something that's going to be low cost. Obviously you have to get an estimate if you're doing any paid.

I even have someone that will donate the tree.

Okay. Yeah. So let's say if you're doing something small and low cost like that, this grant program potentially next year, like they do this one annually and it's for new park development and stuff like that. So anything like that would be huge. They usually do want to see they're pretty extensive in their application of like They want you to have you to do a public meeting, to present to a community board. We have to show there's a lot of community outreach requirements. They also have a lot of requirements on, like, again, the type of documentation you have to have, site control for a lot of these things. And you have to check boxes saying how it's kind of improving the community, like how it's meeting all their requirements. It's all stuff I can send you to. But they have tiers of the grant. So if you're doing anything under $50,000, no match is required. between 50 and 150 is I believe a 20% match or 25% match. And then anything above 150 is going to be a 50% match. So depending on the cost, yeah, depending on the cost for it. Also, if it is something that's going to, you guys want to do something bigger, like put a path in or, you know, ads, like do a real kind of linear part of there. I'm not sure if there's a sidebar or anything in the area.

I find that a lot of the incident.

Well, if you guys have, if you're trying to do something more intensive like that, that's also something, and you don't have a match to provide. Something we can also look at is applying for state appropriations for it. If you're looking like it's going to be a more expensive project and there's going to be a new card. However, with that, again, that anything that we're doing that can be more intensive, we have to show more site control, you know, and have permission from that, whoever owns it to be able to do that. That's the big like caveat.

I wonder if there's better cards in there for the lighting. Yeah. Well, she's got four of them.

In the underpass. So I'm already, I'm aware. So I used to be the transportation manager. So I am aware of that project. Lighting in the underpass is something we can do. It's not, we have the ability to do it as long as you guys apply for a permit. I will say, unless it's like a big safety concern, which I believe there is some lighting in there, but you guys want to do aesthetic lighting in the underpass. Is that what you're talking about?

Like Hialeah has.

That's going to be harder to get a grant for because it's just considered more of like an aesthetic improvement. Now there are some grants for like, public art and things like that, but less to do just like an aesthetic lighting like that. Like that's not really a big, there's not really a lot of opportunity for grants for that. And that's the big like caveat, which is why we haven't like pursued it before.

We put a mural. No, you buy safety lighting and then you get to be able to color, you get ones that have adaptability for colorizing and we pay that separately.

There you go. We can try, we can try. But yeah, safety improvements and things like that, there's a bigger market for it, so that's where it comes in. But usually also lighting, I'm sorry, this is like a little bit, I'm getting in the nitty gritty on it. Lighting is usually kind of an accessory thing to a larger project. There's not a lot of grant programs that will do just lighting, but you can do lighting as a part of sometimes like a bigger improvement, bigger.

We could improve it with new apartments to try to get to the west side, I think, going into the shopping center area.

You never know. A question for you is, so if awarded with a grant, then it would be limited to only be used for this. It couldn't be something that someone could try to pull and use it for another purpose.

No, it's either unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you're phrasing that question. Yes, it is.

Doing a portion of it.

No, no, it would be dedicated to those parks at those sites and for this purpose. We have to provide exactly what we're doing and where we're doing it and give all the documentation. And then we'll be a request reimbursement. We should put all the backup and everything like that. It can't be anything else. And that's the same thing also with all of our grant programs, just so you're aware. With anything like that, all of our grant programs have very strict reporting requirements where when we get these projects, we have to provide the exact location, exact scope of everything that we're doing for that. And the award is for exactly that project. And it's very hard to make changes after the fact or use it for something else.

Yes. My question is, what is the mental health board committee doing? Because you're going to put together the package. What is that you need from us?

Oh, I can answer. Okay. Well, that's the reason why I'm saying it is support. Okay, they're here presenting and for the neighborhood improvement to support the grant, you know, like we've done in the past, right? They've come to us to say, hey, you know, we want you to support this initiative that we're trying to get this grant, you know, in the letter and saying the neighborhood improvement supports this. this improvement, so that way they can help support getting the grant.

Yes, I did write a draft letter, just if you guys would like to look at it. You could sign one, and other people could look at it, too, if anybody wants to. It's just basically saying, you guys, for the project, and I did come to you today. Sorry, I just printed two copies. I didn't want to. We're going to be here. And if you guys want to change anything on that, Please let me know. This is not a requirement. You can also send me an email after the fact. This was just a, I did a boiler plate flip. But if I said anything that you guys feel like is untrue, please, I'm happy to make it. Yes.

I take on her word. She looks nice.

I, let's see if I can get you.

All right.

Is there any other questions? I see one of you.

All right, well, thank you so much for your time. Again, you know, we have this agenda. It's a licensed item on the agenda. So, but again, we want to keep you here all this time. So we appreciate it. Once at the end, we'll vote for it. Then just make sure we don't write in one of those. Yeah, one could be a good copy. That's actually okay. That's how we have them.

Provide edits, let me know if you guys have anything.

Are you able to send the Word documents, if anything we can edit it, and then worst case scenario, or best case scenario, she can print it, and then we'll sign it here.

Even two if you guys want to. For my purposes, it's like obviously a record, even just the minutes from the meeting can count for what I have to submit. I did provide the letter of support in case you guys wanted to do that instead. Either way, even just the minutes of you guys agreeing to support this from the meeting is documentation for another person. This grant deadline is October 15th. So it was, I didn't know you guys were meeting today. I saw your meeting was canceled and it was back on the schedule. And I'm like, oh, I'm here. I was like, wait, they didn't cancel their September meeting. They're back. Um, so October 15th is the deadline for this grant submittal. So that's one. I mean, that's a warrior next week. It is.

We have to approve a tape. Yes. Yes. That's the reason why we're breaking it up.

Yeah. Do you have any questions about anything else with this? I do have other grants.

I do have some questions. You mentioned earlier that there is funding and budget set for these two parts. Do we have that amount?

It's going to be low in this, but it's just part of the sinking fund. We have a general sinking fund that's for these infrastructure projects. This is included in it, but it's not dedicated. It's not dedicated, like parsed out for this. No, no, no, you're fine. So again, just the larger sinking fund, these projects would eventually be a part of that, but it's not like we don't have a dedicated amount set aside for these specific parks yet. But it's like, we have a list of projects that we go through, and then they're sinking funding would be a part of that. Okay.

So, so my question kind of makes it seem because if we do have some kind of budget right for it, then we have to have, I mean, it has to, it has to be some kind of amount that needs to be allocated right for these parts. I'm just concerned, okay, now we have $100,000 coming in, right, $50,000 for each. So that means that we have an extra $40,000 or $50,000 or $60,000 for additional improvements that, you know, we didn't comment that money. Yeah.

So that would be, it would just go then to a different part or a different capital improvement within that sinking fund. So it's not, like I said, it's like they have a larger pot of money in the sinking fund, and then they have a list of projects that as they get whatever the council decides to fund in that sinking fund, it goes to this, however many projects they can complete on that list of improvements needed, they do. So this would just go to, again, other projects, like the next one down on this list. It could be another playground or it could be another type of park or couple improvement. That's that.

All right. That's all my questions. Does anyone else have any other questions? What is the sinking fund?

Sink like a ship? Yes. No, no, they have a fund and they just call that colloquially. I don't know if that's the actual name in the budget. I apologize. I am neither the budget nor parks officer, but as I understand it, that's just the fund that they have available. Whereas it gets funded. It's for a lot of these things like repair maintenance of broken down playgrounds or smaller, not like our large capital projects that we normally do. It's for a lot of these smaller repair maintenance, things that break down, kind of bonds, so.

Okay, thank you.

Yeah, for sure.

Sounds good. Yeah, just go ahead and email it to her really quick. Make some of the corrections were proposed, were printed, and we'll take it from there. Thank you again for your time. Nice to finally meet you. I said that right now, so I forget. Anyone else from the public would like to speak? No?

Okay.

All right, when we got to item number five, the approval of the minutes of last month that everyone had an opportunity to review them.

I will show something. Thanks. And that's the only two emotions that we have right now?

They were. Motion to approve the notice. Is there a second?

Recommendation when you do the minutes for this meeting, just briefly mention. Yeah, we have to make a motion.

Right. Let's see. There's a second and then we open up for discussion. And that's what you've got. Okay. Is there a second? So motion by Maru, second by Javier. Okay, now we go back to discussion. Alicia, you were saying?

My recommendation for the next session is to look at the description of the presentation.

For these minutes? Yeah.

Okay.

No, for the next minute. She just, she's just making, I think she's just making a comment. Yeah, please make a comment.

The ones I'm writing right now? Yes. So not just motion, second, pattern?

No, no.

Hold on, hold on.

I'm being guided. Yes, hold on, because we're very specific on the direction we gave them. And it's motion, second, and the result of the motion. Now... the agendas are there that we can attach to this okay so um description or not description in the minutes it's not really a requirement um so to Felicia's point the only thing that I can think of is maybe Felicia motion to accept the minutes as presented well that motion is clearly right So for Mario motion to work, no, it is there. So we go to new business.

We're going to make a motion to approve the item.

Right. So typically what I recommend you do is you use the same agenda item, right? So for example, right, the agenda.

No, we did. I just added the end. Oh, the number.

Okay. Correct. Okay. Got it. Okay. Right. So, so to her point, it will be motion to approve, you know, the blah, blah, F E R, you know, grant application letter. So I think that's what you're saying, right? Okay. Yeah. Typically what I do is I verbatim exactly what the agenda item is. Right. So if it was community by grant funds and we don't write motion to approve the community by funds, then that way there's a description of the item that we're doing. Okay. Any additional comments, discussions. All right. Seeing none all in favor to approve the minutes. That says, all right. Yes. All right. I was having this have been adopted. Okay. Item number six. Town staff.

A couple of stuff. Say, so the bike ride that we spoke about our last meeting. I had myself check with the sheriff's department to see if they use their overtime funds for the bike ride. And they said yes, that they would. And that they're, I believe, planning to do this around January.

No, it was in December, I believe.

December? Oh, I think. Yeah, it might have been like December, January, around there. Because the thing is, December, there's a lot of events going on. So January would be less busy, if that makes sense. So you'd probably get more turnout.

That's fine. We can do something like a new year. Yeah.

Yeah, we just, on community, pick a date for that.

I like that. I'm sorry, actually. New year, new ride.

Like that.

You okay? Yeah. Go ahead. So, yes, the agenda items here. So we'll pick these.

The beautification contest that we also spoke about next meeting. But it just wasn't going to be possible to do it for this fiscal year. It will have to be pushed to next fiscal year. That way you give people more time to submit something, you know, they actually work and put in the effort, you know. The HOA update, I believe I had emailed something to Rudy about that.

Yeah, I have. I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly what it was. Go ahead and read that. I have it there so you can read that. Honestly, I couldn't make sense of it, but your email's on the top, the second one is the one that's forward, and the last is at the bottom. I honestly couldn't make sense of it.

Oh, okay. So what I have done is I have emailed the assistant to the mayor and the assistant to the council members asking them, like, any issues that came their way that are HOA related. And the response I had gotten was that to just email the council members directly about any issues, like HOA related issues. I guess that's what I was trying to convey. Maybe that didn't.

Okay, exactly. That's what I want to make sure that I did not read that. So I guess let's go back to the message. Hey, exactly. Right. The idea here was it's for you guys to tell us, right? Correct. What topics you would like for the Neighborhood Improvement Committee to use as their HOA meetings. I think they went back to us thinking that we want to tell them what the issues are.

No, I think it was kind of just like Relate the question yourselves about like, um, issues that are being brought up to them.

We want them to tell us the issues that they want us to just correct.

And that's not how they told us to conduct business in the past. Typically how it goes is we use a liaison, right? The liaison will communicate this information. They don't want us, you know, again, this has been, and guys, correct me if I'm wrong, you've been serving it long enough. Typically, they want us to go through the liaison, liaison goes to them, because it's not, imagine, all of a sudden now they have six, seven, or whoever, you know, emailing them. So that's the idea. If something has changed, then yes, for sure, just come back to us and say, okay, yes, they want you. Okay, in that case, then I would have to email them and say, this is what we're requesting of you guys.

Okay, I'll... Sorry, that is no problem.

Does that sound about Mario, Felicia? Does that sound about, right? That's the process, right?

Yeah. Normally, I think we get more response to the liaison than we do individually. With your committees, right?

Does that sound about the same?

That's the way it works. I'm going to be presenting my response to the community tree patrol. What I did, I sent an email to Jeremy.

Yes.

to our arborist, and I copied her and Claire's self, and I got a response right away. If I would have done it on my own, nothing.

Great. So just come back to us and let us know if it's a change. If there's a change in process, then whatever that process is, let me know, and we'll make sure to follow it. Thank you. Good night. Thank you.

The project description, the project map conceptual plan and the draft that. So you also can have that product description for your minutes with the official title and everything.

So we bring that to everything that way. We, um,

Yeah, I should get it in a second. So sorry.

Thank you so much. Thank you. If you think of anything after I will be bought lots of granite. A lot of ideas.

Just the next one is just a report to Council, which I believe is an item. And a lot of time in the last week, Felicia had brought up that on our tree support page on our town website. There's not um, a direct link to make reports about tree concerns and issues. And that is something that parks will be working on soon. Nice. Yeah. On the, on the town website.

Yeah.

The app, they already have like the reporting system. Yeah. Um, what they're going to do is like create a direct link for the reporting system all the time.

I'll take it. yeah the other item is the reading the other parts excuse me um thank you um you were checking and i believe you emailed me when i passed that on um the the code with regards to uh the remaining the ring of parts and with processes um

yeah i think this was basically just that you have to present it to council like parks they do whatever council tells them to do so this is um something like a program or whatever that you'd like to go forward with you would just have to present it to council that's basically what this says yes perfect so it's it's a code is it how it'll go yeah like it's already like something established that like it's a thing all right so when that time comes you know we'll we'll give you that information and activity the review and we'll make it possible

And then the last one I have here is here's information from the free tree event Felicia was referring to on September 4th. So I do want to commend you on this little recap that you sent me right up to the meeting. I thought that was awesome. You know, it helps you and it helps us write on those pending items that you have to uh get us information also thank you so much for that um that was great and i also spoke very highly back to um their self i also mentioned that you were great so far in the one meeting i think yes everything was good everything was good so so far so good what's your name you're right he's asking me he's bothering me he's like what's her name Ready? Felicia, I was supposed to stay. And it's not.

From the last meeting.

Yes. I was struggling. I was struggling. Mario, I'm going to get you after. It's all right. It's all right. Because I was messing because it's Jalen.

Jalen.

Bam. How you like me? Now you're Felicia. You said it right. She said Jalen. No, it's not Jalen.

It's all right. I know. It's Jalen. Jalen. Yeah.

Yeah.

So, all right. So thank you. But again, this, this is awesome. Right. It really helps keep things on track and I'm sure it helps you.

Right. Yeah. I do it with all my committees. It's something I started as soon as I had my first meeting, just to remind the committee of what we spoke about that way they remember to like put it in their agendas and everything.

Great. Awesome. Okay. All right. So we're going to go ahead. Any questions for David?

No.

Oh, yes. Sorry about that. So obviously the $750,000 that we had allocated for that budget, we lose it for this year?

Unfortunately.

Unfortunately, there's no way for us to spend it and make it twice as much for next year? Roll it over? Roll it over? She's not going to know the answer, but you know that.

So I believe Because the 750 is the, like your general fund that you're allotted by council, right?

They don't lose it.

Right, yeah. So that's just, yeah, it's just lost. The only way it would carry over is if it's sponsorship money, which I believe you guys have some. And if you look at your budget, that you got some, I think some of the Aiden Perry.

Right.

Yeah, I believe you got some money from that. So you'll get some money rolled over from my understanding.

Okay.

It's not the 7-5, unfortunately.

Sounds good. All right. So we're going to go ahead and old business, item 7-8, which is to be applied on the Palmetto Expressway, Northwest 154th Street, Mr. Estrada. Has there been any updates from... And by the way, what I'm going to do is, because I do have here our... The Neighborhood Improvement Committee reports to Council with the last time. So as we go through these items, I'm going to ask each one of you if you would like to use the same report that was provided last time. If there has been no changes, okay, so that I can use that same one. If there have been some changes from the last time, which is April 26th, then I would request that you give me an update on that. So that being said, has there been any changes?

There has not, but Omar and I have gotten together and we've discussed what the next steps are, which is what I'm ready to get into now. Okay, go for it. So the biggest part about it is, so I haven't driven through 57th after dark to see what colors theirs are, but... Pink. Pink? Okay, so according to a new policy from the state, from FDOT, it cannot be anything other than white, except for nine holidays in the year. Oh, so during the holidays, you can change? Yeah, during the holidays, there can be alternate lighting combinations. Okay. Do we know when they changed that? February 1st, 2025. Right after Hylia got it done.

Exactly.

But yeah, you're grandfathered in, you're done. That's it after that? No, no, Hylia's had that for a few years. Yeah, they had it for a few years. And in terms of being grandfathered in, that's an interesting question. I can't confirm it right now. But that's how you assume it. Okay.

Last time, just go in there, add that information, and I would say, if anything, attach that letter, right, to just an updated report, and just email it to the town, and cc me on there, or just email it to her, and I'm sure Jalen will just forward to me.

Yeah.

That's all.

Well, no. I had a conversation with Omar about the project. Yeah. Okay. I thought that was it. No, no, no, no. We're actually putting more progress. Amen. So, um the biggest thing that may no more discuss is whether we're going to include a mural with the community aesthetic feature project or if it's just going to be standalone aesthetic lighting okay which we have that already right we have it says i think miami growing beautifully on one side right yeah so i'm going to go away or well it yes growing beautifully would be on the south side and on the north side which i guess is listening six is that No, but I'm saying, are we changing that? Well, that's what we can discuss as a committee if we're interested in adding it to the community aesthetic feature project. And if we are, then what would we do? Because we just need to decide at the moment if we're going to refurbish as is, as it exists, or if we're going to come up with a new design.

My recommendation is refurbish as is. Actually, I think it's very nice, very clean, very classy. Yeah. Yeah.

I think that's easier also, but I want your feedback. Of course. That's what we're here for. Yes.

I'm like, think about it, right? Just think outside the box for a second. Mural, he gets you a grant because it's art.

It's hard. We've been trying it with our cultural first committee thing and it's hard.

Yes. So that's something that segues into the next part of the conversation. If we do decide to go with a mural which will increase the cost of it. He suggested with a good shove finding a sponsor, getting sponsored by somebody. That would inflate the price greatly. Especially since we would have to source a local artist because they want to patronize and to use our citizens or anybody that would be...

It's going to be this bridge, right?

154th and La Palma.

Because we already have our art on those control boxes, so we don't want to...

Correct. So it would be something like that, but on a grander scale. Correct. Yes.

It's simple.

So keep that clean. I'm all about that. So then we would like to keep the same design and refurbish it, and that would eliminate any... Well, that's my opinion, and Felicia's have liked to hear me.

I follow you.

If anybody else has a different opinion, I'm here for it. Originally, we had asked to paint the columns, remember? Right.

Yes, the columns, they were going to be painted.

They were going to be painted, the columns. I do like just, you know, the Miami Lakes. The thing is, it just doesn't stand out as much. I think it does.

Well, that's a maintenance issue. Yeah, correct. That's another, when you bring that lighting factor to it. That is true. Yeah.

Is there any way we can make it where the certain features on them?

I guess we will stand out with the lighting or what's going to happen when you paint those columns. That's going to be a shocker.

Yeah.

It's going to make a big difference. Huge. I think to finish this point, if you add anything else, it's, it's, it's kind of take away. From the air from a and then obviously maybe even a distraction factor you're driving now you're trying to see where the picture is and the guy you know planting or or make on a cow I don't know whatever you're going to put out there and I'm just saying right when you put a mirror that you can put you put it out there first. There's got to be something against it.

You're not supposed to put this a on a wall as per FDOP. Any distracting lighting or murals that people can, like you said, start driving and they hit something.

100%. All right. I agree. I like the idea. Make it nicer. So upgrade it. Of course. Oh, okay.

So that's four to one? Or is that three to two? Three to two.

We haven't voted for anything, but we'll make it four.

In town. Right, right, right. You want to take it to the parking lot?

Yes.

right now that needs to be improved. They did some work there.

Landscaping. We're going to have landscaping.

The columns painted. Talk about distraction.

You don't have to worry about the lights as you're driving.

You're going to see the big building. I will still have traffic under there. I just want to make sure we get it.

You want to make, you want to do a... One of the biggest things, if we're going to spend some money in there, we've got to give us a scholarship. Right, but do we want to change it? What was the word you were using? A mural. A mural. Do you want to do a mural or do you want to... Okay. Leave it as is. Okay, leave it as is. And Javi, what was it? Do you want to do a mural or leave it as is? Which is Miami Lakes and then growing beautiful.

Yeah, Miami is growing beautiful.

Okay, so leave it as is. So refurbish current. Refurbish current. That's what I want to do. Okay, so I think it's a mutual...

And I'll tell you kind of the challenge why I'm not going with the columns aspect of it is that I think we may get pushback on everything that we try to do just from a safety issue. Because they are in the middle of the street and stuff like that. I don't know the regulations, but...

But the columns, we were just going to paint the colors of the town. But... And a lighter version.

Yeah. Right. But we did not have the signage of the signs. We did. It was already discussed. No, by the time that we did paint in the car, those lights were not there. No, we had discussed the wording that was going to be on them. Right. We didn't have it.

It was part of the design, but we didn't have it.

Correct. My only thing is, I don't know if it's not a light color, and I'm not an artist.

We decided it was going to be lighter colors of our color. It was a good balance.

Okay.

Yeah. Okay. It was soft. It wasn't something that... Right, right, right.

And for me, it's going to take away from the subject. Now the, the focal point is going to be the columns.

I have to have to find it. All right.

So then in that case, I would say that you want to go ahead and motion to pretty much keep it as is many with the same wording on the site, but add the caveat of painting other columns. which has been there from day one.

So I see the pluses and minuses of everything. I see both sides of it. In my opinion, I think we should just refurbish as a column. I think that's a simple ask, but And doing a mural is going to add time and money to find something good.

The mural is going to be the artist. Right.

How long until the boxes are gone?

Yes. Right.

I wonder how long he's seen this for this. And it's still going. Of course I do. Now they decide to eliminate him.

I don't think they were in the second batch, right?

Let's stay on track. Let's stay on track. All right. So you want to go ahead and... I mean, the reason why I said motion, just so that way you have some concrete to go back to. So you want to go ahead and motion on that? Yes, I do.

So I motion to refurbish the existing mural under the Palmetto, keeping the same design and adding... The original request request and approved colors for the, for the, for the coffee. So I motion to refurbish existing murals under the format. Oh, keeping the same design, but adding the call.

You're ready. Added to your ready approved colors of the commerce because it was, you're ready. You're ready. And I see. Adding approved approved colors. Okay. Second by Felicia, any additional comments, suggestions? Nope. So, you know, all in favor, I guess, no, you guys have it. So, um, just, um, when, when is it that we present?

I believe it's in October, the October meeting. Let me check right now. October 20th.

The day before we meet.

I think the October meeting was like moved up. Like it's not on its original like third Tuesday or something. It might be like the second Tuesday.

Maybe October 13th.

No, no, it's the same as the CAC. We're getting the same thing. Yeah, October 20th. October 20th. Okay. Right. Moving on, green space near Northwest Bay.

Thank you so much.

We appreciate it. Okay.

I'm here for you and the citizens of the town. We appreciate it. All right. Moving on to item 7B, Greece, Spain, New York, Northwest, Haiti, San Bernardino, and 141st Street.

Still waiting on Jeremy. When I talked to him last week with an email, he's waiting for parks and recreation to get back to him. Yeah. No, now it's park. So we're trying to move forward with it. So let me hear that.

So nothing pretty much has changed nothing has changed.

Sorry. It is October 30 because the October reckoning was moved up a week. So it is October 30. So I'm not sure why it was supposed to be this one. I didn't even know.

And that's a report to counsel.

Yes, that's your report.

Moving forward, I'm going to see if we could. So we do. To see if we can get a graph for that as well. Okay. So, we'll see what's going on.

All right. So, in that case, if you don't mind. It's still approved, so I'll send you something. Yeah, just send me an update. Let's just add, you know, whatever. I already sent him an email, so.

Perfect.

And that would be at six, seven, six thirds. Yeah, good luck.

Six thirds. Six thirds.

We use historical tour. All right. Town of Miami Lakes, item 7C, Town of Miami Lakes historical tour.

So I thought I'd declare myself the sky's the limit on what we want to do with the digital portion of it. We just got to figure out what points we want to, you know, obviously pinpoint other than what we had done the original time. I know that we wanted to incorporate the grams, what they have in their office, but I wanted to come back to you guys. Is there anything else that we want to incorporate into that? or just keep it with those two entities that we had then? Can you remind us? So remember the original tour? I think he never went.

It was basically a bus. Yeah, it was just a bus tour. We went around, you know, key elements, people's homes, locations. There was a line there by 87 that's protected the Indian Reservation. Right. Right.

So that's. I think that was the last nice council meeting. There was a request to do a start of the market. Right. Right. So if we can, we can send whatever spots you think that are necessary to add to the Amazon and then.

She'll send it back to me, and then I'll get with Claire herself to see what we can do digitally.

But we're definitely doing right.

I think we talked about the digital approach was the best. Our approach is going to be something that you want, you can pick up and follow yourself. Just put the points, you know, you put it on your map. How do we want to do it? There's several ways we can, you know.

I know in Corregale you have your own walk city and your own historical place.

So you want to do something on a map that you walk and figure it out?

I think that sounds like a good idea. What do you think, Felicia? I mean, they have something like that? I don't think you can walk to a lot of these, but... Well, but at least maybe if you're sitting right in front of it, you can drive through it. Well, I'll take the freebie, right?

Oh, wow.

That's a good public comment right there. That's true. Did we even consider that?

You would have to take the freebie. You call it and it comes to your house and you go on the freebie.

Right, but a map.

But to your point, it doesn't matter if you go driving, walking, on a bicycle or scooter. Put a map online, click it, or trace.

Correct, with the different points. Alright, so we're just going to do what we did in the past, and then you add the grams and then whatever you think that we might need send it to the liaison and then we'll get it.

So let me end up doing that. yeah.

Alright, the next one is item 70.

Perry, you're like green.

How to use the video. So I did. We do have the money, right? Yeah, I believe it was put into your budget. And that's what I said increase.

Yeah, that's what that increases. What? I think last time we met, you had like, just the 750. We could be wrong. I believe it was just a 750 and now you have 4,900 plus. I don't know which.

So, yeah, the only thing that we can do is make an emotion to get the public safety to proceed with that. see with that video we have the demonstration uh person we need to figure out what uh what lake we're going to use so i think the one we were at that we initially you know did their house that's a good one that's a good one that's a good hard chopper that one and the other one that's a really good one that one had an accent so it's a good thing too right right right another good one is the one right in the corner uh where public sits

On Ludlam and Publix? Why at that point? That's a really... Well, because...

It's for the kids, yeah. Oh. Well, that's part of that. No, it's on that corner. It's on that corner? It's where the ring is, because that's where the bench is.

Yeah.

Oh, okay. I say we stick to Casablanca area.

Okay.

Yeah.

I mean, definitely should be in... No, it's inside... It's right in front of it. Inside... What's the neighborhood called?

Or a windmill gate? No, no, no, right? West. West. Oh, on the, okay, on the other side of 67. Right.

That's not Loch Lomond.

No, that's...

Someone was in those townhomes and they drove in into the canal. Someone had to, it was at Casa Vada, they went in and jumped in and they got them off.

Right, because in that area... Oh, I thought you were talking about the other one where they jumped over here by Lake Martha. No, no, this one.

That's another one.

That's another one.

Let's keep doing what we're having. That's a good location.

That's a good location. That's a good location. And then, do you know, so we're not sure how much they allocated that. Because I know we had, you said we had sponsorship money. I believe last time we met you had just the same. Yeah, but some of that money is for the rings.

I don't think any of that money is for that.

is what I'm trying to say. We have to find out. Find out what a breakdown is and what exactly are those. Seems like a lot of money for a video.

Exactly my point. So I think those were the funds. Well, if we're doing it in total, I think we needed, it was $300, $400 for the video. It's not much that we needed. We're doing that video. Public safety, I'll tell you that. It's great. Well, because we're sharing it with the public safety.

Right, just find out, you know, you probably get a company to come and do it. And they already have. I do want to say it's 840.

So we have like 20 minutes.

Yeah, speed it up.

Sorry, guys.

Oh, thank you. You don't have to forget. It's 9 o'clock or 930?

It's 9 o'clock.

You have to clean. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. So yeah, we just got to make a motion. Yes, $300. I'd like to make a motion to allocate $300 for the Adam Perry safety rig video in collaboration with the Public Safety Committee. All right.

Any additional comments, suggestions?

I think it's a great idea. Good discussion.

Awesome.

Thank you.

All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. All right, you guys have it. Okay.

Okay. Let's pick a second. Sorry, when do you have those H-1 meetings? That way I can get some information for you.

No, just we're waiting for the time.

Once we have a topic.

Once we get the topic, so probably at our next meeting, if you bring us, you know, whatever, two or three topics, then we vote on the topic, and at that point, we get the page. Okay. And we'll try to get a sponsor. Right. Okay, perfect. All right, so the channel, it's a long, you know what, let's take a look. It's a lot more from here.

Table?

Yeah. The HOMV? No, the community library. Table. All right. Let's take a look at that. All right.

The next one. Let me talk. I have to redo my motion. Okay. So it was supposed to be 400. It's 500. Five. Yeah. So the motion to amend the motion to amend my, you know, the amount from 300 to $500. Second. Okay.

All in the comments. No. All in favor say aye. Aye. I guess. No. The ayes have it. Three to five. All right. So just so you know, um, E F N G we're table.

Uh, we're going to go to H I know we table G just so you guys, I it's very likely I can get us a sponsor from an agent or anything. So, okay. Perhaps she could even fill up the topic. That's right. Let's hear from the councilman knows what they're getting. We're back with the next item is 78 community training patrol.

A report. I sent an email to Jeremy, um, our, um, arborist and myself and, and, um, Jamie was kind enough to send an email. There's a thing that They're trying to work on adding a link to the tree support page on the TAM website to make it accessible to report the issue and their concerns. Right now they have a system called Seed Lake Fix, which is in the Miami Lakes, that when you can report, you know, different nations report fire holes, graffiti, street light, outage, and community issues. So, and then we can also call 311 and get an update on these links added. As for the contact with the county, any issue concerning the green areas and those perimeter, the reason I wanted to add this is because I drove by 170th, which is the canal around my place. and Royal Oaks, and I saw the sign that said you're exiting Miami Lakes, but then I noticed there were a bunch of dead trees on this side, but that's the county. So I don't know if calling 311, I think we may have to call our commissioner or the county directly and tell them either, you know, because it's not part of Miami Lakes, but at the same time, I mean, you drive by there, and I think we paid for the bike path,

Where is this? Over 170?

On 82nd or 77th? The little white path that we did the glow-in-the-dark data.

The streets are between the canal and the path. If we cover the path, but we have no jurisdiction on those streets, we would need to report it to the county because they're like three or four that are totally dead. It looks very bad. That's the purpose of this, that we can say they look So, again, you know, we're making progress. So, we'll follow up on this. Awesome.

Thank you, Felicia. Felicia, just same thing, just email, you know, an updated report to our liaison.

This is what she sent to me.

No, no, I know, but what I'm saying is to incorporate that on your report so I can add it to, just the same thing as last time, so I can add it to the report to council. Oh.

That's just an email, that's what I'm saying.

Oh, okay, I'll do the report. Yeah, it doesn't have to be a report. We got time. Just a little recap, just like the thing you did last time. Just a little recap, where we at.

This topic.

Correct, yeah, just tell them. Correct. By the way, when you do send it to her, please send it to her in a Word document, because that's always what I do. I extrapolate it. The last meeting that I got was that our report to council was very small. Very small. It was very small. Of course it worked. Of course. It took like 17 days to put it together. But I guarantee you, nobody out there that has such a robust report. But on the same token, they want to see something, you know, a little more summarized. So, yeah, just send that in word, please, so that way I can get some key points and put it in there. What's the deadline for this?

The deadline, I believe, for the report, I believe it's October 1st, the 1st.

Yeah, no, no.

Right. That's what I'm saying. My recommendation is to get it to her to give me enough time, maybe a week from today. Right. So we can get it by September 23rd. Yeah, September 23rd. That was your send it to me. And then I sit down and I put everything. I mean, we're going to vote on that report today. Right. No, no, we are voting on it. We have to vote. That's where it's on the agenda. These are just the, you know, add-ons. Right. All right, the next one is, the next one is a rename of the pocket pot. We're going to go ahead and I'm going to, I'm going to say a comment, but we're going to keep with it.

So pretty much, if we make a motion, we can add it to the report and to the council report. No, but I am, I am.

Part of the report, I'm going to add items like this. It's just that we're not going to have any discussion today, but it is going to be part of the report.

We're already discussing voting.

Right, right, right. just a side note right so our right so the side note is that we basically got what the process is which we already know right correct so um so that's pretty much so we'll table that item now we're going to go to new business which is report to council um so again please send those by September 23rd to our liaison. So then she can send it to me and I can update the report. So basically the items, so we can go ahead and vote on it, that we're going to be included in the report are going to be updates on basically all our agenda items. Okay. Including, but not limited to the recent one, which we're going to talk about now, which is AP. iTunes. No, I will. And I did. I did. The only thing is, honestly, and that is the one thing I'm going to talk about.

I'm going to talk about it, and that's what I got.

Correct. But I will say something, right? And I have to look at my agenda to make sure, so I should be able to be there. One thing that I did, and you guys know me, I need to express it, right? If I feel that it wasn't right, is the Russian pardon. Okay? We... Report to council once every three months, or once every quarter, or I don't even know what those days are, or twice a year, I think it is?

Twice a year.

Twice a year, okay. So it's twice a year, okay? Additionally to that, we have to sit at a council meeting, waiting hours, okay? Until we sit up, you know, until we go up to the podium. To then be realistically, to be told to... Fast track and hurry your presentation to the council. I find that to be very disrespectful. Right. Because, again, we put a lot of work to this. This is a lot of information, a lot of time, a lot of effort. And I get it. There's 17 agenda items and you're there to one o'clock in the morning. But we put a lot of work into this. And I wouldn't want us to feel rushed when we get there and just say, you know, two or three things and move on. I feel that they're just going through the motions. Okay. And the steps of, oh, great. We've heard the council. I mean, we heard the committee move on to the next one. So it is what it is. I will make the report a little smaller than what we made last week. But I still have to express that.

It's the report then.

The what?

Two reports that night. There's only two reports. Yeah, it's yours. Go through up there.

Three? Three every time they report.

What did you say? Two. It's usually two. Sometimes they have three.

Probably or something.

I'm not sure how.

But listen, again, I just.

The list is over there.

I just wanted to express that.

Yeah, it's there.

That because it's not a good feeling. That we put all this work and then all of a sudden we're rushed to it. So just wanted to put that on the record. We'll follow the directions that we've always had, but that's my two cents.

Well, why isn't it actually voted to push it to the front of the meeting and get us out of there? Right. We can hope for that. I get it.

But again, we all put a lot of work into these items. what we're working on to be worse, that's the bottom line. So, all right. Anything else other than the items that we're gonna vote on to include in our report to council? No, all right, seeing that, motion to approve the report to council? Second. Second by Javier. Any additional discussions?

Just, Maybe we want to add the beautification contest already to the... We are.

That's all part of it. Yeah, that's all part of it.

All right.

All in favor say aye. Aye. Against? No. The ayes have it. We'll get it. As soon as I get those items, we'll forward to everybody. All right. The last one will be the town staff presentation, which we already have of the FRDAP grant application for the Two Pocket Parks playground replacement program. Paige, pretty much, we heard the presentation.

I'm going to get the revised version.

Awesome. And then you printed the package she sent? The attachments?

I can.

If you don't mind. Yeah, so then we can prove that we can put everything together. That would be great. I just need maybe one copy. Yeah, one is good enough. Can we make all those in two minutes? Yes. I didn't have a lot of them. This is Jalen we're talking about here. Did you hear that, Mario?

Jalen. Jalen. Okay, get it right. You okay? That's why I'm wearing the glasses. I guess I got an eyelash in my square glass. My glasses are dangerous.

On behalf of the time, I hope you feel better. I appreciate it.

All right, so there's nothing really else. We can list in the meantime that we're waiting for that. Is there any announcements? Because we are right on time.

Yes, Felicia. Oh, you're good.

You have an announcement. I did hear that the ordinance for parking under 12 has passed, right? What does that mean? So you can't park on 12 overnight, so after 12. No, it's always been. Yeah, but it's, they're working on the contract with the police department to start, you know, giving. So, I'm seeing it.

The code compliance, I think, is the one.

Code compliance is enforcing it once a month. They do drive-bys. But it's not an everyday thing. It's not an everyday thing. What kind of drive-bys? Because. What was it, on press reading or something?

Years ago, I.

Peace officers to get that drive-by. See how that works.

I want to see what the ordinance is because the problem is, and I'll tell you, because living in the townhome community, whenever there's things that are going on inside, when they have to do road closures inside the community, they want to place their places on the swales.

Yeah, but I think you would need... Yeah, but there's a lot of areas that people are just ruining. Especially on the west side.

A few years back is that we had a constituent that contacted our office because he had like surgery and the doctor said go walk and we had to get into the street because cars were blocking the sidewalk and I brought it up and I said we'll do a public announcement it's going to be interesting is that I've driven now the past couple weekends over here on Miami Lakes Drive East over by where they're doing the where they do the um

the farmer's market on Saturdays. And from Loch Lomond all the way down to the stop sign is like filled with cars. Yeah, but during the... That's a hard day. It has to be after 12 the other day. But I think they still need to start looking into some of those things. Some of those cars are parked halfway in the street. They have to get money.

Yeah. It messed up dollars resting in the world. It's a world. But that's, I don't know what you mean.

No, I understand why the problem was from what I'm seeing is because they, since they closed down the parking lot, that's across the street over there.

It's done. I don't think that is just in the park, but it was this, it was bad. Well, because they still haven't really, but they need to park in the area because remember it was all fenced up.

Yeah.

So now it's open. Why did they move the farmer's market? Believe me, it doesn't do it makes me.

Now, I believe that. I believe they moved it because the businesses in a tree. All right. Well, you know what? That whole thing was great conversions.

I agree. I like little places. Like that because it has a park right next to it.

But it has gone smaller.

No, but it's been packed with me this past weekend. No, not, but not, it used to have more cars, more, more vendors.

No, but this past weekend had a lot.

Yeah.

I remember it. Because they've had more vendors in the past.

Where did they move it to? You know, where you used to be really good. Right in front of my home. You know where that little thing is? At the Veterans Park? Yes. It's not the same. It's not a park.

Yeah, but you have a late that you connect a little late. That's dangerous. Your kids are all in there.

I mean, so here's the letter of support and support for the town of Miami Lakes, public pocket parks, playground improvement projects. Man, the neighborhood improvement committee fully supports the town of Miami Lakes efforts to seek grant funding for both of its pocket parks, playground improvement projects at P83 and P79. The role of the Neighborhood Improvement Committee is to recommend, promote, and provide potential solutions that will improve the quality of life of our residents and beautify our community. The Town of Miami Lakes staff presented this project for discussion and consideration at our regular committee meeting on September 16, 2026 at 7 p.m. We support the goal of the project to increase safety and accessibility in our parks as well as encourage recreation and social interaction for children and families throughout our community. Additionally, we agree that the aging infrastructure at these existing parks is in need of improvement and support the proposed renderings and ideas shown for the project. It is our hope that this application receives a favorable response and full funding. Sincerely, Julio Guerrero, Committee Chair, Miami-Dade City Board of Improvement Committee. All right, so I motion to approve the support.
