Yeah, no worries. That takes us like a day to print. Okay.

0:04 – 0:17Speaker 6

And I'm just curious if I I don't I don't think it was given to me to do but I just wonder like the money that we approved for the bags from drew did somebody place that order?

0:17 – 0:29Speaker 1

Because I don't know. Yeah. I know we told them about it back then that we needed it for September 25th. So I'm thinking, I'm hoping that it was on there.

0:29Speaker 6

You guys are alive if you just want to call a meeting to order a lot.

0:31Speaker 1

No, I did, I did. We're on orders of business that froze a day. That's why she's throwing this in.

0:36Speaker 6

Okay, okay.

0:38Speaker 1

Let me ask him.

0:41 – 1:18Speaker 6

That's Vanessa. She needs to make that small adjustment. By the way, nobody consulted with me that they were going to make my likeness the ad for this event. And my husband, he's like, oh, I saw an ad with you on it. I'm like, oh. Like, I thought it was a post, but they took that post and they made it an ad. So Carlos keeps seeing me. He's like, oh, I keep seeing your video. But to be fair, as an ad, it's like two minutes long. Nobody's going to watch that as an ad. So they're like. You know, whatever. I don't know.

1:18Speaker 3

I watched it.

1:19Speaker 6

Well, thanks. Thanks, guys.

1:21Speaker 3

That was good. My part of the day was good.

1:26 – 1:45Speaker 1

I did do a little hard. All right, so public comments. I see no public. I think we're good. So we can move on to the new business, which is what we are here for. Finalizing the Best of Miami Lakes finalists based off of the BTR list. Round two. Round two. So who do we need? Well, okay. We can't say names, right?

1:45Speaker 6

We were trying not to say names, but I was surprised.

1:49Speaker 4

I'm pretty sure he's gone.

1:54Speaker 1

Which one's this? I'm hoping it's red, man.

1:56Speaker 6

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this doesn't make the cut. They're not physically in town, and they don't have a VTR license.

2:04Speaker 2

He said he was going to fly. He's going to be obliged?

2:07Speaker 1

I mean, if he says that, did he send an application? Cause I just think he's out of the town. Is it out of town bounce or no?

2:14 – 2:26Speaker 6

I mean, if he applies for them, I don't, how have you guys handled that in the past? A business that's out of town bounds, but applies for a VTR. Would that even be approved?

2:27Speaker 4

I can't tell you. Yes. We don't have no idea.

2:29Speaker 4

That's all permits building.

2:32Speaker 6

And if somebody approved applied for a VTR license, like in the last week, could we know? I can ask. Okay.

2:40Speaker 4

I think they have to have a home address here.

2:42Speaker 6

I would think. Then I just. I think they have to have a home address.

2:46Speaker 2

I don't really know. I don't think they have a home address. They don't. They don't.

2:48Speaker 6

So they leave both counts.

2:51Speaker 6

Because their home address isn't here either.

2:54Speaker 3

So really the request would be to see any ETRs that maybe have gotten approved in the last two weeks. Yeah.

3:00Speaker 6

Renewed in the last two weeks, right? Mm-hmm. Approved or renewed in the last two weeks. Okay.

3:04Speaker 4

Did you bring this one already? Yep.

3:10 – 3:21Speaker 2

Yeah, I got it. These people don't exist, and I don't even know why. These guys? Yeah, I don't even know why they don't exist. I can assure you that they're not in.

3:23Speaker 2

And then she dreams. So we only have three out of the six.

3:27Speaker 6

These guys are red.

3:29Speaker 4

Which one, this one? Yeah, no. Oh. Really? Yep. No way. Yep.

3:34Speaker 6

Oh, because of the... Oh, these guys, too.

3:37Speaker 4

Because of the Carito?

3:39Speaker 6

Because of the Carito. Oh, I mean, we can see. I knew that that was going to happen. Yeah, for sure.

3:44Speaker 1

Yeah. This is a video, isn't it?

3:47 – 4:05Speaker 6

No, this is a... Oh, my gosh. It is, isn't it? No, it's not what it is. It's not what it is. I don't know if it's... Oh, my God. You can't even see. I'm dying right now. Hello. Where am I? I hate this. I need to release every word. We call them that's fine.

4:05Speaker 1

But it's not. It's Rick.

4:06Speaker 6

It's Rick. No, I can't. It's too strong.

4:08Speaker 1

But it's... This guy.

4:09Speaker 6

Yes, they're all the same. Oh, I didn't realize. I know them, but I didn't...

4:12Speaker 4

I thought you spoke to them.

4:15Speaker 1

They never sent it.

4:30Speaker 3

But they were before, but they never renewed or they never sent.

4:33Speaker 6

Listen, I'm sure at some point they had it because they've been here for a long time. But if you don't have it, what am I supposed to do with you?

4:41Speaker 1

It's not fair to renew online.

4:42 – 4:55Speaker 6

That's not bueno. They both got a phone call. He got a phone call and she got a phone call. Yes. We were on the phone with them both at the same time. If you can get your act together to do it after we called both of you, give it a week.

4:55Speaker 3

This guy did that and he did it in an instant. They had moved the address and they fixed it and they did it in an instant.

5:02 – 5:14Speaker 6

Okay. Yeah, because you can't really go online and pay 20 bucks and that's it. We can check and see if they're in the filings for the recently filed or renewed, but if they're not, you're out of luck. Which one? This one?

5:15Speaker 4

I don't know.

5:16Speaker 6

I didn't do that. What about these guys? Oh, this guy was at our meeting. We should have asked him.

5:22Speaker 4

Yeah, he was at our meeting.

5:25Speaker 6

He was subbing for AJ. Oh.

5:31Speaker 6

Do we know this guy? Any of these?

5:34Speaker 1

I know JR. Yeah, I reached out to JR, but he told me he's in Jamaica and that he doesn't know. So I was like, I mean, if you can let me know.

5:42 – 5:53Speaker 3

You can read the one on top of the other one. Because they're not. They don't respond. These guys didn't respond either. I left them a very detailed message.

5:54Speaker 6

Okay, and then what about these two?

5:56Speaker 1

I thought we saw these guys on the list, didn't we?

5:58Speaker 6

What about these?

6:01Speaker 1

I think I left the list at home.

6:03Speaker 6

I don't know them, so I don't know. I did not reach out. I also mean that these guys are good. These guys are fine.

6:09Speaker 3

Do we have a fourth on the list? We're missing number three.

6:13Speaker 6

Let's look now. So the third one. So, okay. So these guys, then we're going to move to this one and we're good. Okay. So we're good here.

6:24 – 6:41Speaker 6

And then these guys, these guys were, we're going to be okay because we have two. Okay. So we're okay. Um, these guys were also going to be paid because we've got these, Oh, actually are these guys. Okay. Do we know? We need to look at the list. She should be there.

6:41Speaker 1

I haven't seen that.

6:45Speaker 6

Um, for real estate, we're going to need to one. We need one. We need one.

6:51Speaker 4

No, we only have three. We only have three.

6:55 – 7:07Speaker 6

One, two. Three. So we need a number seven for real estate. Okay. These guys. Yeah, that one's good.

7:08Speaker 1

This is funny.

7:12Speaker 6

So we just need to clear out.

7:15Speaker 1

And I'm pretty sure we saw these guys. Didn't we, man? We got to check. I thought we did. I thought we did.

7:18Speaker 6

We got to check. We know who that is. What about these guys?

7:21Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

7:23Speaker 6

I know who it is. I think it's the gente that appeared twice. Oh.

7:29Speaker 4

Yeah, I'm not sure.

7:30Speaker 6

I'm sure that these guys are fine. One of these guys would move up then.

7:35Speaker 1

Who was working on it? Yeah, I don't know if anybody was.

7:38Speaker 6

I think we just ran out of time. We don't know who they are.

7:40Speaker 1

Yeah, we didn't get to it.

7:42 – 8:12Speaker 6

Let's just check the list one more time and see if we can find them. I have the Excel version here. And if not, then we move on here. So I think we can divide and conquer. What we can start doing is maybe you guys keep checking with Aisle, the ones that we're still missing. And then Denise and I can start calling the ones that we know for sure and letting them know like hey you're a finalist please come to the boot camp register blah blah blah yeah yeah okay. Start doing that you and me. So we're contacting the green? Yes we're contacting the green.

8:13Speaker 1

Let me know when you're ready.

8:15Speaker 6

Can you eardrop this?

8:17Speaker 1

Make sure we contact the right eardrops. This is a fake mic remember. Yeah, it's not a real bag.

8:24Speaker 6

You know that. You know that to both of us.

8:26Speaker 1

Well, you know it's an aisle, so it's a fish.

8:28 – 8:40Speaker 3

Make sure we send the... Make sure we send the right greens. So it's a fish. Not the other greens, like the five and six, right? The what? We only send it up to the first four, right?

8:40Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah. But we've got to make sure we... Yeah, we don't, like, include these by accident, you mean?

8:46Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah.

8:47Speaker 2

Can't move. We should probably clear it out with those. Yeah, the ones that are landed out, maybe?

8:53Speaker 1

So these aren't needed. Black amount? Yeah.

8:59Speaker 1

Redacted. Yeah, these aren't needed.

10:33Speaker 1

Let's see, we're checking on.

10:38Speaker 4

There's two lists. Let's see the Olivia.

10:45Speaker 2

10:52Speaker 4

Oh yeah, it is.

10:55Speaker 1

I just don't remember. And everybody uses a cat important. The hands are locked in pretty much. Cool.

11:03Speaker 6

No, let's check with others.

11:04Speaker 1

We're locked in.

11:05Speaker 4

I think professionals locked in. No.

11:15 – 11:28Speaker 1

Lunch and dinner. Dinner is locked in. Retail is locked in. Beauty is locked in.

11:28Speaker 6

Can I ask them out to their address or name?

11:31 – 11:46Speaker 1

Health provider, we're waiting. Fitness is locked in. Coffee, one, two, three, four, that's locked in. Financial, no. Legal, no.

11:46Speaker 2

Real estate, well, legal is yes, because technically, no.

11:51Speaker 1

No, we have to check these guys. No, no, no, you're right, you're right. I'm confused. Well, if these guys are good, then we're locked in. We don't need to check them out. I'm confused with these guys first. And then real estate.

12:01Speaker 3

We only have three.

12:01 – 12:12Speaker 1

We only have three. So it's not locked in just yet, I guess. And then legal, like I said, health provider. Okay. So it's really just four categories then. We're not too bad. Cool. Okay. Cool. And I'll send this to Distribute.

12:19Speaker 6

Well, you would need to send it to me anyways because it's probably preferred to whatever you did.

12:26Speaker 6

I'm really digging your phone box.

12:28Speaker 1

Yeah, right? The service? See, look.

12:32Speaker 6

Big. Big Mac. I love that it's touchscreen. When is Mac going to come out with a touchscreen? So disappointed with the folding iPhone.

12:41Speaker 5

Why? Why are you folding it?

12:43Speaker 6

Because it's so big. Like, it's big in your hands. Like, I mean, I know it folds out big.

12:48Speaker 1

You grabbed one or not?

12:49Speaker 6

I mean, I haven't grabbed it, and I'm also not going to drop two grand on it.

12:53Speaker 6

For that, I buy a MacBook. What? Your folding phone was two grams? Wow, that's crazy.

13:03Speaker 3

Okay, I'm sending these to you, Ohio.

13:09 – 13:21Speaker 1

And the parts that are black aren't actually like hidden from the public view. It's just so they're black. Like they can change it to whatever color they want the highlight. And then people can see. That's just for us so we don't get mixed up. And then we're looking at it.

13:25Speaker 6

My email loves to pull up your old email. Mm, so fun.

13:30Speaker 3

You had to delete it from your history.

13:31 – 14:02Speaker 6

Yeah, I did it today. It's hard to delete it from your history. It's annoying. Outlook is annoying sometimes. So I had sent you an email earlier this week about the PowerPoint presentations. Oh. And it went to that. Oops. And it was, it just remained with me. Because Ida at least needed it by today. That was my email to you three days ago that didn't get to you. Well, that didn't happen. Yeah. But like, if she gets it by Monday, like, is it really that far in the future? Because she's out. Oh, she's out. When is she back?

14:02Speaker 4

Yeah. Why don't we just hang up the phone once we're ready? Whatever.

14:08Speaker 6

But no, I just want to make sure to let you know.

14:11Speaker 2

We have phone numbers for all those people? I don't know everybody there.

14:14Speaker 1

No, that's the thing. I think we have...

14:26 – 14:40Speaker 6

Well, that's what I'm banking on, that we know most of these useful. Or we can call and let the general manager know or something. I haven't gotten any. It takes a lot. Are you on Wi-Fi?

14:41Speaker 1

Wait, I'm on my phone Wi-Fi.

14:45Speaker 6

The town Wi-Fi is great. Yeah, no, I don't want to phone you.

14:50Speaker 1

It's a shame.

14:51Speaker 6

You would phone me on the town Wi-Fi.

14:53Speaker 4

What do we do in this case with this one that only has three? You got to go to number seven.

14:58Speaker 1

Oh, this one? Here's the... No, no, no. The one that's... Oh, the one that we're working on.

15:04Speaker 6

You got to go to number seven to move on. Yeah, we have to go to the next one.

15:07Speaker 2

Who's for number seven?

15:08Speaker 6

We got to pull up... It's here. So it's here.

15:12Speaker 2

Should be there.

15:13Speaker 6

Oh, nice. Yeah. Look at this. Yeah. So...

15:19Speaker 1

So I guess these guys?

15:23Speaker 1

I know they're probably good against that level. Oh, yeah.

15:26Speaker 2

We can check that one first.

15:28Speaker 6

Check that one first, and then if not, drop here. Yep.

15:31Speaker 2

Yeah. Do you have the list in the VTR? Do you have the VTR?

15:38Speaker 1

Oh, that's right. We have the... Nobody has a VTR. Yeah, I don't have... I do not. I can maybe find it. I don't know. I don't know.

15:46Speaker 6

My dad brought the actual packet. Do you want that?

15:48Speaker 1

Yeah, I have the... Oh, yeah.

15:50Speaker 6

Actually, I drew that on my first... Oh my god. You're funny. I didn't think you really said this.

15:58Speaker 3

Did it come through, Al? What the heck, Matt? Is it because it's a big one?

16:20 – 16:37Speaker 1

Oh, mine says it's only 83 kilobytes. Medina a Miami lakes, right? Yeah.

16:38Speaker 6

Are you guys looking for something?

16:44Speaker 2

That's fine.

16:45Speaker 6

But you guys have the itself.

16:47Speaker 1

Yeah, I just can't find it real quick.

16:55Speaker 6

Okay, let's just start calling from here. Oh, okay. Let's do this again. Okay, I'm going to start with.

17:00Speaker 4

I'm going to start with the bottom with best fitness and you

17:30Speaker 6

Maybe they're under a different unit. We can check. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Number one, number four. Right, they go across, try and get out a whole row.

17:39Speaker 4

So these are them. So these are finalists.

17:43 – 19:05Speaker 6

So the policy, if you feel no manner available, whatever, we want to let you guys know you're a finalist. Hi, how are you? Good. I have a random question for you. It's not about payroll. Um, uh, uh, so that were 40, uh, made, uh, the final four or the other, and we're having an event next Friday that we're the official finalists. So I wanted to see if it, if Carlos is a part of that, right. It's Carlos, right. Okay. A I'm letting, you know, I'll call him, but he probably wanted to recall, let him know that, uh, several 40 is a finalist for best of Miami lakes. And we're doing an official announcement at a town event next Friday. Oh, it's the Economic Development Committee for Town of Miami Lakes. They host a contest. And it was, like, votes, like, you know, like, residents and whatnot went and voted. And sweat for 40 came out a finalist. So there's going to be, like, a last round of voting to, like, designate the winner. But he's in the final four. So we're doing an official announcement next week, Friday, at a town event, which I'm going to send you the Eventbrite link. If you can be there to get called up to the front, that would be really awesome.

19:06Speaker 4

Oh, that's perfect. OK, thanks.

19:11Speaker 4

OK, bye-bye.

19:18Speaker 6

Are you getting the contact information? What are you doing? No, this person.

19:25Speaker 3

What did you call? I know, but you don't have his number?

19:30Speaker 6

I have Carlos's number, but Carlos's number is his phone.

19:32Speaker 2

20:31Speaker 3

Oddly enough, that other runner-up person that we were talking about, they're not in that BTR. Or number 8. Which one again?

20:38Speaker 1

The list that you were looking at?

20:40Speaker 4

No, I'm trying to remember what. I think it was.

20:45Speaker 4

No, it wasn't financial?

20:49Speaker 3

No, it wasn't financial. No. It was real estate.

20:53Speaker 1

Oh, real estate. Yeah.

20:55Speaker 3

That one highlighted. Yeah, I didn't see him either.

20:59Speaker 1

21:12Speaker 6

Oh, I know these guys. Yeah, I know this guy.

21:19Speaker 1

For which one? For these guys. Oh.

21:44Speaker 4

Oh, I'm sorry.

21:44 – 22:06Speaker 6

You'll need to know this request. I was saying, do I want to go there or ask for their manager? You called her earlier. She didn't answer me. But she was texting. Unbelievable.

22:08Speaker 2

We need to move here. We need to go.

22:13Speaker 6

That's the same one. Yeah.

22:18Speaker 1

They could be.

22:20Speaker 3

They're nominated. Say nominated for now.

22:27Speaker 3

I'm trying to call these guys.

22:28Speaker 2

That's what I told her to say, nominated. What the heck?

22:33Speaker 2

What am I doing? Let me call my aunt. Oh, yeah.

I'm calling you.

23:00Speaker 4

I'm not calling you as your niece.

23:04 – 24:07Speaker 6

I was dropping something off to find it. no way that's how long it's been since i've been to the last place oh my goodness i was calling because um hence your title is a nominee for the best of miami lakes but i need to confirm if you guys have a btr do they have you have no idea what it'd be terrible it's not good business tax receipt to do business business tax receipt for the time I'm like no I did not have a business tax receipt I have a business tax receipt it's okay which I You guys are TrustPoint, right?

We're the guys that handle the best of Miami Lakes nominations and all that kind of stuff. And you guys are coming through, so congrats on that. But the issue is that one of the requirements was you needed your BTR, your business tax receipt. We just don't see you guys on the list. Your business tax receipt from Miami Lakes. So I was just wondering if you could call your partner, the one you came with. that day or something like that and see if maybe that's something that you guys have.

Yeah, Miami Lakes specifically, yeah. And you can just... I know it's kind of quick, but you can let me know in the next like 10, 15 minutes or something like that. You can just give him a quick call, I guess. I just didn't have his direct number.

25:31Speaker 6

Then you're good. All right, cool, man.

25:33Speaker 1

Yeah, I appreciate it. Yeah, you can give him my number and that'll look perfect.

25:37Speaker 6

Miami Lakes Athletic Club.

25:39 – 25:50Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was my grandpa ended up doing it with some lady that helps sell his apartments or whatever. And then she had like a partner that did commercial or whatever. So she partnered up with that guy.

25:50Speaker 4

And they listened together there.

25:53Speaker 1

I tried selling all the other different people we worked with, but whatever. At the end of the day, it's his place.

25:59Speaker 6

Let me know on this, because like I said, this is a cool thing, and it's a congrats, and if you guys win Best Real Estate, that would be awesome.

26:21Speaker 1

Yeah, man, you got it. Yeah, thanks a lot, man.

26:24Speaker 6

Because you were nominated for the Mr. Manny Blake, so we must make him from whoever's nominated. He's going to call his boss. No, she says you do, so she'll send you a picture in the morning.

26:35Speaker 1

Yeah, somewhere around there.

26:36Speaker 6

Yeah. Just your name. I am with Manny. He called you for the same reason. I do have a name.

26:41Speaker 5

He's right here.

26:42Speaker 4

He didn't answer. He didn't answer.

26:46Speaker 6

Tyler is gone. He's in October.

26:48Speaker 4

Here's Chris.

26:53Speaker 6

Whatever it was.

26:54Speaker 1

Whatever that means. Whatever it is, it's not over.

26:57Speaker 6

She's like, I don't know what to think.

27:00Speaker 4

She's like, I don't know. I don't know either.

27:02Speaker 6

I don't know what to think. I don't have a good idea.

27:07Speaker 1

Anybody reach out to these guys? Card? I don't know.

27:09Speaker 6

No. All right.

27:10Speaker 1

I'll just call the number that's been on Google.

27:12Speaker 6

The best of my colleagues.

27:14Speaker 1

What's the guy's name?

27:17Speaker 6

Eric, did you guys bring the tickets last year? No. In terms of how many people can order.

27:24Speaker 4

I don't remember.

27:26Speaker 6

We have it as a magazine once because it was carried over from last year. I thought I really don't remember. I mean, I can change it.

27:33Speaker 1

Yeah, I might have his number.

27:34Speaker 4

He's a visitor, right? Yeah. Yeah, I'll tell you right now.

27:43Speaker 6

Good. Okay, so exciting news. Storm Pilates is one of the finalists for Best Night Fakes.

27:48Speaker 6

See you. Yeah, I remember.

27:50Speaker 3

Yeah, I remember.

27:53 – 28:13Speaker 6

Next Friday. All the finalists are going to fall up to the podium. And that is when voting will reopen for the final rounds of Crown the Winner. So I love it. Yay. Okay. I'm going to send you the link. I'm going to send you the link so you can get registered. I'll give you some support. Okay, bye.

28:14Speaker 2

But I can tell him, I can say he's a finalist, right, because.

28:18Speaker 6

Do you need me to check anything out?

28:19 – 28:40Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nominee for a finalist is just, yeah, he's a finalist. You just need proof. Yeah, you just need proof of this. Or like we were saying, I think if they can send a proof of at least application and they have an address here, I think that would work. It's just that when they don't have an address local is where it's tough. He doesn't have an address at all on Google, so I'm assuming it's his home address is what he uses for his business.

28:40 – 29:43Speaker 6

By the way, when you find this, we should probably tell them to not announce that. Yeah, like text your people and say, hey, don't post that. I mean, the calling is a courtesy, you know what I mean? Like, they should be coming to the event hopefully anyways. But are we allowed to contact them outside of the county?

29:43Speaker 4

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

29:44 – 30:02Speaker 1

It's just speaking amongst ourselves, though we're not supposed to with the whole sunshine thing. But technically, we can, you know, discuss with other people, even other committees, we can talk, we can talk to other committees to, it's just supposed to be amongst us in our own committees, it must all be spoken in the sunshine.

30:06Speaker 6

Okay, moving on.

30:11Speaker 2

Good evening, sir. Oh, yeah.

30:12Speaker 6

Oh, do you remember

30:17Speaker 1

I can get it from probably the line, I think, right? I think it's there. There's a question. Oh, maybe you, actually.

30:23Speaker 4

You guys happen to have a business time receipt? Yeah, Melissa.

30:28Speaker 2

I have her number here. Melissa, OK. You want to call her?

30:33Speaker 1

Yeah, I'll call her real quick. OK. All right, so you have that one. I'm moving on to beauty.

30:38 – 30:51Speaker 4

I'm home. You don't have a local business tax?

30:51 – 31:40Speaker 2

Yes, it's a voicemail. I'll shoot her a text. Yeah, I mean, you were nominated for the Best of the 990 Nights, which is a big local business actually. Yeah, so that qualifies. No, no, it has to be to your company. Yeah, you have people go, you know, go about it.

31:43Speaker 6

I don't think I've made it good. Can you do that?

31:45Speaker 4

Inside your heart, you know you did it.

Oh. Me, you.

51:11Speaker 6

It wasn't me.

51:12Speaker 3

Okay. I got it.

51:17Speaker 1

We can reverse search the address.

51:21Speaker 4

51:28Speaker 1

with a 7900 Oak. Yeah, there we go.

Well, it was kind of like, you know, the Eggers & Associates was our finalist for that's the land that's legal. We're here now. We were tallying up everything. Nice. So congratulations.

51:48Speaker 6

52:25Speaker 3

You're already there? Okay, so they're going to announce at 11. What are you guys eating?

52:34 – 52:57Speaker 6

I'm calling from the Economic Development Committee from the tournament. I just wanted to let them know that they hired you. Which room are we going to? Marisa Ramos- Related services. Marisa Ramos- Oh, Marisa Ramos- Yeah, of course. Marisa Ramos- Very nice.

52:57Speaker 3

Marisa Ramos- Congratulations.

53:00Speaker 1

53:09 – 53:31Speaker 6

Marisa Ramos- Call Maurice. Marisa Ramos- Your phone call not mine. Marisa Ramos- For sure. Who would that be? OK. She's my client, but I'm on her cell phone. I have her office around. Send them them for me. See if it's the same one on Google real quick, maybe.

53:31Speaker 1

It could be an easy way to register. If not, he probably won't answer me either.

53:36Speaker 6

He better not.

53:37Speaker 1

He's very particular.

53:40Speaker 6

OK, perfect. The answer's . The answer's .

53:45 – 53:56Speaker 4

The other one? No, we're digging. We're just digging. Oh, my gosh. You were right.

53:56 – 54:17Speaker 6

You found one? Why are they so weird?

54:17Speaker 1

Oh yeah, they have therapy. That's what I thought.

54:19Speaker 6

I thought that was, but then it said physical. Why did we say dumb? I don't know.

54:25Speaker 1

Yeah, but that is dumb. Okay, so they are there.

54:29Speaker 3

Cool. Good soothing. Oh, it's in their email. Yeah, yeah.

54:34Speaker 6

No, we matched it by the phone number. No way. How do you know it was that Starbucks?

54:41 – 54:54Speaker 3

No, we did. I forgot the young guy's name. Maybe we should do it with Sierra. He was able to do that. That's why I wrote 8,000. I'm the one that wrote that.

54:54Speaker 6

Just realize that we're going off of Main Street here, and that's like Connecticut.

55:00 – 55:16Speaker 1

Oh, how funny. But whatever. Whatever. I can see how they just don't go by that at all, I guess. How funny. Just automatically assumed. How funny. No, but the number was a good call. The number was a good call. Cool. All right.

55:17Speaker 4

We're going to try that one more time.

55:18Speaker 1

Yeah, and if they're not there at all, I think we're safe to say it's fine because with those guys, now that category is good. The other one we just found.

55:29Speaker 4

Why don't you call this guy? Don't you have his number? Wait, where did I go?

55:34Speaker 6

Which one? Is Brent available?

55:38Speaker 1

Nico? Don't you have Nico's number? I don't, but I can get it, though. I can get it real quick.

55:47 – 56:02Speaker 6

56:07 – 56:27Speaker 6

I just wanted to let you know that they were nominated as a... Yeah, no, we're trying to call them. Well, I have a number. You have a number? Well, the VTR is what I have. The phone number. Or whoever was able to make it to the business book. No, on the phone number. Because that's when we're officially announced it to the public.

56:27Speaker 4

No one's here.

56:28Speaker 6

No one's here. No one on the phone number?

56:30 – 56:46Speaker 1

Okay, that's fine. I just don't think they're there. No, I don't think so either. I mean, I think now we're good with the other one we just found. That category is covered. Oh, did we? Yeah, the one with the D. I just put them green. Where did these guys? Just found those guys. So now we have two, three, one.

56:46Speaker 4

Okay. Yeah, one, two, three. I'll do that then. All right, two. Let me hide this one. Four. Yeah. So we skipped them then. Yeah. Okay. So yeah, we're good.

That means you're going to get an announcement. I'm going to get announced as an associate senior. I'll be here, Romeo will be here, Benjamin will be here.

58:38Speaker 6

I'll send you the link.

Then if you show up next week, you'll know. Yeah, we're here now. We're calculating all the votes.

59:45Speaker 6

Missing VTR, missing telegram, we never know, right? We're not officially, I mean, I'm seeing it sort of like that.

59:53Speaker 1

It's either Global Insurance or Bank of America, but I think.

59:58Speaker 6

Actually, mine was a speaker from Bank of America.

1:00:01Speaker 4

So, I mean, if you're available to come as well.

1:00:05 – 1:00:22Speaker 6

Oh, she has it. She's good. Oh, these guys. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So weird. What the hell was that? I don't know. I'll try by the address if you want with them. No, yeah. Which one, the global?

1:00:23Speaker 1

Yeah, let's see. I think I already called them in fact to get them to the other one.

1:00:27 – 1:00:42Speaker 6

We're good on these guys. So it's one, two, three, four. Oh, so these guys are good. Yeah, they're good. Okay, so these guys are not. I don't find a global insurance amendment. They're definitely here.

1:00:42Speaker 1

Yeah, they're here, mommy. They have their kids.

1:00:44Speaker 6

They have an office. They're in 75. Didn't you guys call that? So no, no, they're not. They're not getting it. They're not in the top four.

1:00:51Speaker 4

Didn't you get it from this? I just don't know if they have the thing.

1:00:56Speaker 6

No, they didn't send me anything.

1:01:03Speaker 3

Yeah, we're here busting our heads and we don't have, I don't think mommy has it.

1:01:09Speaker 6

No, she didn't send me anything.

1:01:13Speaker 3

Send it to me.

1:01:17 – 1:01:30Speaker 1

Yeah, I'm just waiting for this guy to call me back for real estate. He just doesn't, uh, he doesn't call me. Okay.

1:01:45Speaker 6

Does anybody know the Amazonian people? I know him by face, but I forgot his name. Nico.

1:01:50Speaker 6

Do you have his number? Okay.

1:01:52Speaker 1

Oh, I didn't talk to him in Spanish. 790.

1:02:10Speaker 6

1:02:16 – 1:02:30Speaker 6

Answer. I don't think I just want to try them again. Vanilla is not open. Do we know who owns vanilla? I know.

1:02:31Speaker 2

No. I know them like by face.

1:02:35Speaker 4

I might be able to get that. I might be able to get that.

1:02:38Speaker 6

I know somebody here knows cancun.

1:02:45Speaker 2

Let me see if I can get another one. I met one of them. They were there last year and the year before. Nico, how are you?

1:02:54 – 1:04:01Speaker 6

You know that Amazonia came out as a finalist. in the Miami Lakes for various categories. Congratulations. There is no time to announce it officially on your social media yet, but I would like to invite you for the next Friday, September 25th, we are going to have a special event for the business here in Miami Lakes, and in this event we are going to make the official announcement of the finalists of each category.

1:04:15Speaker 6

Regular meeting. Oh. That's why he is today, right? Next week. I can do it real quick.

1:04:24Speaker 1

I'll just do it right now.

1:04:26Speaker 6

Yeah, yeah. Do it right now. It's mostly going to be the boot camp anyway. That's what it's going to be about. Literally. I'll recap the

1:04:44Speaker 1

Whatever it was called. Yeah, you're a fine.

1:04:46Speaker 6

Every single time.

1:04:47 – 1:05:43Speaker 1

The town meeting on the 15th was horrendous. I don't know if you saw that. I was there until 10 o'clock at night to do my report to council and it was endless endless complaining and I think other chairs are just like Yeah, I probably should have talked about it. I thought about it, but I was like, wait, I'll wait. I was going to work. So, true point.

1:05:46Speaker 1

I just called him right now again. He said he's going to send it to me. Here, do you want the vanilla espresso info? I have it.

1:05:51Speaker 6

Yes. Is that like the actual owner? I'll see you guys next week.

1:05:57 – 1:06:15Speaker 1

Tuesday. Here, I actually just sent it to you. Here. Let me do the agenda real quick.

1:06:16Speaker 3

Right now, we only have three, so it's... No, I know, yeah.

1:06:25 – 1:06:38Speaker 1

I'm just waiting on this guy. He says he has it and that he's grabbing it now, but we just can't find it. I was like, all right, man. I was like, let me know. We're trying to finalize it now. Send it to me in the next five minutes. So let's see.

1:06:38Speaker 4

Real quick first.

1:06:42Speaker 2

And then I go like, I can give you every 10 minutes.

1:06:49Speaker 1

This is the September one.

1:06:59Speaker 1

Nine. Yeah, so I'm thinking about the agenda guys for what we're doing chair next year. I think I've done mine in my tenure.

1:07:09Speaker 6

You have. You paid your dues, though. I think it's time for me to step up.

1:07:13Speaker 1

I don't know, Romy. You do a great job.

1:07:17Speaker 6

I'm tired, bro. That's hard.

1:07:19Speaker 2

I'm a disaster. I'll forget everything.

1:07:23Speaker 1

But they're not gay, bro.

1:07:30Speaker 6

See why Neil quit and retired. Poor Neil. Poor Neil. I wonder what Neil's up to nowadays.

1:07:38Speaker 2

One of my buddy's neighbors. Was that somebody here?

1:07:43 – 1:07:54Speaker 6

Yeah. Neil. Neil was like the committee king, man. Like, that was no joke. What was his last name? I forgot what Neil's last name was. Robinson. Robinson, yes. Yes, yes, yes.

1:07:58Speaker 1

Yeah. No, when I first joined this committee, there was a whole bunch of different people. It was like Eric Brandon and that guy, I don't know, what's his name, John Tingle.

1:08:05Speaker 6

Oh, John. John was sweet.

1:08:07Speaker 1

Yeah, we get lunch every now and then.

1:08:08Speaker 6

Oh, that's cool.

1:08:09 – 1:08:22Speaker 1

Yeah. He likes to stay updated. So we grab lunch, update him, talk about life. So sweet. Yeah, he's a super nice guy. I like John. John's a super nice guy. I gotta do a lunch with him again soon.

1:08:33 – 1:08:55Speaker 6

You can put in there, like reaching out to finalists or we don't get to today, we can do a few minutes i'm sure you know people might know some other people. I don't know anybody else. You recognize anybody else.

1:09:00 – 1:09:49Speaker 6

Good evening. I'm calling you from the Economic Development Committee of Tamar Lake to let you know that the Venetian Espresso was nominated and finalized in the Best of Miami Lakes. Thank you very much. I'm calling you to tell you that this year we are going to have it on Thursday, September 25th in the center of the Achilleta de Tarrachelas. to announce the finalists. It will be a symposium for small businesses here in Miami-Dade. And of course, you are invited to participate in the event. And also to be present for when we announce you as finalists. I saw Christina today. Oh, yeah? She had no idea. Oh, God. She found out. Oh, wow. Oh, that's right. And she lives, I think, in Broward, right?

1:10:12Speaker 4

How can you still not find out? She goes, oh my God, I texted him, I had no idea.

1:10:20Speaker 2

Don't feel bad, you didn't know. That's fine, yeah.

1:10:23Speaker 4

You didn't know, you had no idea.

1:10:28Speaker 6

Okay, you can check off the notes for us, so I left her a message. Cool. Come on. Both of us.

1:10:40Speaker 2

You can take off. You can take off, Gloria.

1:10:43Speaker 2

I think we're good then. Marker blue or whatever color will be chosen.

1:10:54Speaker 6

No. We ordered a backdrop or we have a table for

1:11:07Speaker 2

I forgot to tell you what we talked about.

1:11:08Speaker 6

The thingy? The thingy? Yeah, I got you. Yeah, whatever. Is it just us or is it in combination? Are we good?

1:11:15Speaker 4

They're going to pass off.

1:11:17Speaker 6

I don't want to send you guys a cancellation. Yeah.

1:11:20Speaker 2

That was so sweet. Thank you.

1:11:22Speaker 6

She's like, do we need a meeting next week? I'm like, I don't know. And then you were like, don't we have a meeting? I'm like, oh, we have one right here. Thank you.

1:11:32Speaker 3

Where does it have to be sent?

1:11:33Speaker 6

Like three business days before? Because, you know, because everybody checks the town calendar for all the committee meetings.

1:11:41Speaker 1

I mean, there's definitely some. That's the fun part about being in a chair. You get thrown on some email chains.

1:11:50Speaker 6

Really? That's fun. I know which ones you're talking about. All right, Derek.

1:11:58Speaker 1

Whatever, all this loads. Here, what do we need to do?

1:12:00 – 1:12:35Speaker 6

I need to check if there's anybody else that I can call real fast. Hey, hey, hey, I just called these people. I'll not do that. There's a little bit more this way. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, I. Oh. Yeah, mouse. You know her. Okay. These guys aren't getting called anymore.

1:12:36Speaker 1

What do I do with these two here? They said they're sending, right?

1:12:39Speaker 6

They said that they're sending and they haven't sent it yet, right?

1:12:41Speaker 1

He's going to send it. He better. That's where I'm at right now with...

1:12:45Speaker 1

We write their name here.

1:12:50Speaker 2

Can we stop my green on the first one?

1:12:52Speaker 1

No, there's an E at the end. So, these guys. I'm waiting on this guy to send it to me. Okay. He says he's actively looking for it.

1:13:00Speaker 2

Okay. So, we haven't called them yet? Them yet? Or...

1:13:05Speaker 6

Correct. We have not called these guys. I know somebody knows this guy. Somebody's gotta know that guy. Which one? Somebody's gotta know that guy.

1:13:16Speaker 1

Let me see. I can text the knower of everyone.

1:13:21Speaker 2

Just ate there today. I wouldn't know it. I would've... I was right there, too. I can stop in tomorrow.

1:13:30Speaker 2

Have a cup of Zito and talk to him.

1:13:32Speaker 6

Did he make up his ego there? No, not there.

1:13:37 – 1:13:51Speaker 4

I didn't make a list.

1:13:51Speaker 3

If you want, I can stop on all those tomorrow.

1:13:54Speaker 6

You work so hard. Well, it's time to do that, Manny. Manny, why aren't you mayor?

1:14:02Speaker 3

It's in the area.

1:14:03Speaker 6

Why aren't you mayor?

1:14:15Speaker 6

Did we finally decide which branch is getting the nom?

1:14:24 – 1:14:37Speaker 6

Which branch is getting the nom? Or no, we only have one branch now. locally here. We used to have two. No, we have two. We have two. One by Vicky's. Yeah, we have two.

1:14:38Speaker 3

We didn't determine which one it was. Where's the list for the...

1:14:42 – 1:15:06Speaker 6

They both have VTR licenses. Can I give it to my girl? Because I love my banker. Do you guys know anybody at the other branch? Because I actually know a business banker at the other branch. At one of the branches. Because they didn't nominate a banker. They didn't nominate, excuse me, the votes weren't.

1:15:06Speaker 3

She said the entity.

1:15:08Speaker 6

I'm going to email her. I'm going to let her know if there's any kind of business development for Miami Lakes or whatever. They can come.

1:15:16Speaker 6

I have her email.

1:15:17Speaker 3

She can accept it on behalf of both?

1:15:19Speaker 6

Yeah, I think that's okay.

1:15:21Speaker 2

Accept it on behalf of the entity.

1:15:22Speaker 3

Yeah, that's, I mean, we don't have to pick and choose.

1:15:26Speaker 2

Just be welcome to be.

1:15:33Speaker 3

Okay, I got to. So do you want me to stop off? Let me write these down. So I don't forget.

1:15:42 – 1:16:07Speaker 2

I'm going to stop off and let them know. No. I'll go to the microphone. I mean, I was just texting with her about the whole BTR thing. So I can just shoot her another text.

1:16:08Speaker 1

Oh, even better.

1:16:10Speaker 2

Yeah. And you want me to do this one?

1:16:12 – 1:16:34Speaker 1

Sure. Cause that's my credit. Oh, then for sure. Yeah. Let me do the, I'll shoot her a text about it. She's better with text from what I can tell.

1:16:35Speaker 3

And the person, the reason why we're calling and telling them is so they can show up to the book, right?

1:16:39Speaker 6

Correct. To accept.

1:16:40Speaker 3

I think that's as much as possible. To accept the nomination or as a finalist?

1:16:46Speaker 6

As a finalist.

1:16:48Speaker 1

I'm thinking we're taking pictures for social and stuff like that too to try to get them to.

1:16:52Speaker 3

And then from here, how do we come up with the winner? Do people vote?

1:16:55Speaker 6

So, starting at the boot camp, votes will start being counted again from boot camp from the 25th to October 1st.

1:17:04Speaker 6

They have five more days to rally votes, and then we pick the winner. And then we do this again, like, you know, obviously, just counting votes.

1:17:10 – 1:17:21Speaker 1

Yeah, it'll be a lot easier with just multiple choice. Okay. So, votes will reopen until the 1st? October 1st. Okay. No way.

1:17:28Speaker 3

I'll text you when I visit those so you can mark them as contacted.

1:17:32Speaker 6

Okay, perfect. Thank you.

1:17:37Speaker 4

Did you mark out Gloria? Yes. Okay, thanks.

1:17:58Speaker 6

Yes, I was just finding one. There she is. There's her email. Let her know.

1:18:26Speaker 5

Well, that's funny.

1:18:32Speaker 6

Last minute. That's why I didn't come because I need to see.

1:19:03Speaker 1

Okay, I got that good info.

1:19:07Speaker 1

I'll share it with you.

1:19:12Speaker 4

Hi! Good, how are you?

1:19:31 – 1:19:43Speaker 6

You can renew it online. So I don't know if you're, if you need to renew it, but you can renew it online and do that now. So they'll be hanging. Hold on, Matthew knows.

1:19:43 – 1:19:56Speaker 1

I don't know if I know, but let me see. Hey, what's up? Let me check real quick. Let me see. One of the other businesses I reached out to sent me a screenshot of the page. So let me see if I can get it for you here.

1:19:57Speaker 5

Yeah, I've been surfing on the Miami Lakes page to get it, and I can't seem to get it.

1:20:02Speaker 1

No, yeah, yeah, it's kind of a mess.

1:20:16Speaker 5

It's a tutorial. When you open the tutorial, it goes to a page that doesn't have the tutorial.

1:20:21 – 1:21:02Speaker 1

No, I know, yeah, because that's actually something we've talked about here. Oh, that's what I'm going to put on the agenda book. Oh, okay. Um, let me see. Let me see. Let me see. It's like a special permitting website. Let me see. Okay. I think it's this website. Okay. All right, it is, here, I'm going to say it out real quick. Are you guys in front of my computer right now?

1:21:03Speaker 5

Yeah, is it the eTrackit one?

1:21:05 – 1:21:25Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, the eTrackit one. It's trackit, T-R-A-K-I-T dot MiamiLakes hyphen F-L dot gov forward slash E-T-R-A-K-I-T, eTrackit. Okay, now I'm already there. Okay, do you guys have a username and password that you've set up before? Do you know?

1:21:26Speaker 5

Um, I mean, maybe I could just forget it, I guess.

1:21:30Speaker 1

Yeah, I'll try that.

1:21:31Speaker 5

I used to pay for it every year here, and I think it was supposedly an automatic, but God knows.

1:21:36Speaker 1

Nah, yeah, that's the thing. I don't think it is anymore. But it's like a quick thing. It's like $20, and I know it takes like a few minutes, because some of the other people I reached out to, they did the same thing.

1:21:47Speaker 5

Okay. Let me see if I have it on here.

1:21:53Speaker 1

Yeah. If you did a forgot password, I think they might send you an email, but I heard that that email link is kind of broken too.

1:22:01Speaker 5

Should I just try to create a new public user account?

1:22:04 – 1:22:16Speaker 1

Sure. Yeah, I guess you can try that. But if you guys have done it in the past, it should be there. But yeah, we just try that.

1:22:17Speaker 5

You know that I am one that's so fed up with the technology.

1:22:23 – 1:22:38Speaker 1

It's driving me crazy. Yeah, I feel that. I feel that. I 100% feel that. This one's like some weird in-between tech. It's like ancient, but not that old. So it's like, it just, it needs to be revisited. It needs to be revisited. That's something we'll try to fix.

1:22:41Speaker 5

No, no, I wish I would've done this prior because I would've just walked over to to the city hall.

1:22:48Speaker 6

Gary, we called you last, like two weeks ago.

1:22:51Speaker 5

Yeah, you know what? I had a person Then tell me, don't worry about it. I'm going to take care of it. You know. I am.

1:22:59 – 1:23:12Speaker 6

I'm sorry. My grandson starts on Monday to take care of it. And he'll go back to the headset on and off. And I'm still behind at work. No excuses. Sorry.

1:23:12 – 1:23:57Speaker 5

I can totally buy it. Okay. So we confirmed it. So it's kind of let me log in.

1:23:57Speaker 1

I think you have no current activity.

1:24:18 – 1:24:32Speaker 5

search for a permit, permit number. Would it be like a search for a permit? Is that what it is? Or licenses?

1:24:36Speaker 1

That is a good question. I think it would be license. I think it would be under license, because I see the renew option there underneath these licenses.

1:24:44Speaker 6

Yeah, it doesn't come up. No, you go to license here, search licenses.

1:24:53 – 1:25:25Speaker 5

It does not pop anything up. So can you pay fees? Let's see. Sure, they'll take the money. Okay, so there's no ID in your card, okay? Search permits then.

1:25:26Speaker 1

When you guys did forgot username or whatever, did anything pop up for that?

1:25:32Speaker 5

Yeah, the email. Let me try another something else. Let me try a different email because this could be so old.

1:25:42Speaker 6

Did you try the Jessica Google?

1:25:46Speaker 5

That's what I'm going to do, Jessica. Thanks.

1:25:49Speaker 6

I don't know.

1:25:51Speaker 5

I did the admin and then Richard and then neither one of them was registered. Neither of that one.

1:26:01Speaker 6

That's what's up now. They have to pay full insurance forever.

1:26:05Speaker 5

Yeah, I wouldn't know. I mean, God knows. Maybe. Let me see. What was up?

1:26:11Speaker 6

Jessica, I'm supposed to hold on that?

1:26:14Speaker 6

That's what I'm saying. I don't think so. I'm sure it's about something.

1:26:18 – 1:27:03Speaker 5

Okay. I would say latest would be Tuesday for our next meeting, right? Romy, just give me a look. I don't know. No, Jerry. What time does this song open tomorrow? I don't know. 9? 8.30? I think we might have time.

1:27:27Speaker 1

They said it opens at 8 a.m. 8 a.m. 8 a.m. We do it Monday morning, so.

1:27:32Speaker 6

Time is open at 8 a.m., yes. Monday morning would be ideal before our next official committee meeting.

1:27:39Speaker 5

Okay, you can buy water. I'm not going to rely on somebody else.

1:27:43Speaker 6

Okay, all right. Just give us a picture of your... Literally, that's going to cost you like 20 bucks.

1:27:51Speaker 1

Yeah, it'd be 20 bucks to renew it, yeah.

1:27:56 – 1:28:09Speaker 6

You need to, you need to be, you need to, you need to never speak of this again, that we gave you like an extra two weeks and you need to be at the, at the bootcamp event when we officially announce you as a finalist. I'll send you the registration link. Okay. Bye.

1:28:11Speaker 6

No way about that.

1:28:13Speaker 1

One, two, three. And then I guess Bank of America, we just don't know.

1:28:18Speaker 6

We're going to assume that Bank of America had it done. I mean, for crying out loud. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

1:28:23 – 1:28:34Speaker 1

So it was just then. for that one, and then for real estate, I'm waiting on this guy to call me back, but I think we're good to adjourn. And then if this guy calls me later, I'll do it.

1:28:34Speaker 6

Okay, 7-21, adjourn the meeting.

1:28:43Speaker 4

We're free to go.

1:28:57Speaker 6

No, no, you're talking to Ryan. I'm starving.
