“Thank you so much for the question. The commitment was that the event is gonna be fully sponsored. We're still getting sponsorship in. So far the orchestra is about $8,000 and we have that covered. Staff costs and other auxiliary costs are still being raised. So obviously, We had a short time, but we do have a commitment to raising those. I want to make sure because... It will be. There's no, I don't think there needs to be a back and forth there. There was a word given and we're on that trend.”

“Thank you. I think it's a great idea. What is the legislation for? Is it for the proposal to be created or is it for us to approve the actual district? Approve the actual district. I think I want to mirror the same comments that you made towards the centennial. What is the actual total? If there are suggestions made for particular line items for this to be created, be it signage, be it benches, be it promotional campaigns to actually provide the information to the public, it's a reversal.”

“When you did the flower giveaway for the Mother's Day? No, I think we are names used to be on our advisory groups. And then as time went on, they were removed. But there was a time when we sponsored events. And our names was also added to the advisory group as well.”

“Does that include advisory boards as well? How's the governance of the advisory board in relation to the liaisons and their impact or influence over the event? So for example, city manager, when you're doing the budget, are you stripping some of the advisory boards of their budgets or how to commission to the manager's point?”

“Is the seniors, yeah, the commission for women is also going to be affected because I know the county has dissolved theirs. Theirs is going to sunset in January.”

“Seniors, I'm not sure if the seniors advisory is going to also be affected. So in relation to, yeah, the county has already put legislation out that the commission for women will be dissolved from the county level based on state stature. So the question also is for seniors and other advisory boards, have we really did a fine tuning of what budgetary No, it's important because... No, I'm laughing, but things will slowly dissolve themselves. So that's curious to see how you're going to set the budget up with that because I think that through our various advisory boards, we often use our impact…”

“Yeah, because with women, you're singling out a group of people from the population. So it might not seem fair, but that's based on the state law. We've had men in the...”

“Go ahead, Commissioner. There is no cost. This is, as you guys know, GEM has done a lot of disaster relief. They're currently working in Venezuela, different countries, whenever there's a disaster. So this is more for volunteering. for awareness, for hurricane awareness. We had no real hurricane preparedness event this year, so we would be partnering with them to share resources, et cetera.”

“Thank you for that. The current program that's housed at North Miami Beach Senior High. So it's not something... It's already there, yeah. It's already there. So when you talk about hosting it in community centers, you talk about staff time, you talk about timing for actual availability. So I would say that this could be something that we approve tonight should the commission want to and definitely encourage you to bring your item as well.”

“I mean, these funds, obviously, with the educational fund, we've been doing an amazing job raising the funds. So this is not coming from general fund. This is donor-based.”

“Those are sponsors. Huh? Oh, is it like, did it come from developers or I mean? It's corporations. Many corporations have an educational allowment and most cities have to do is ask. So my office, myself, Vince, Megan asked Comcast, T-Mobile, et cetera. It's 25. How much will it be?”

“Thank you, Vice Mayor. Good evening. I wanted to also take a moment to thank the committee for their time. I think this is the first time I'm actually making a comment. I have a suggestion. I see that on the revision page, we were given 10 to 14, 16 through 19, and then 21... through 23. Can we take those in chunks? Because I think if we go through this entire document and go back, I think most of the commissioners mentioned if we were to review each and then make a vote, because if we go through everything and then come back, we're going to be here double the time. So my suggestion is that…”

“In sections, but if you have objections for each item, we would still go each item. Once we take your notes, and then we go and take those votes individually so that we can at least get through one section. I second that. Through the vice mayor, I may.”

“Well, here's what I'll say to that. We need to go faster, that's one thing. The second thing is, if there are any provisions that contradict another, you can highlight those. Hopefully there's some pairing that can be done so that we're not, oh wait, this 99-1 conflicts with this fifth one.”

“Yes, and we still are individually going through each section, each item, but voting in that group and making our corrections as we go.”

“That's not the motion. To his point, right, to the attorney's point, not everything is going to be added to the ballot. Now, as we review, we are making our corrections. Not all those corrections will be on the ballot because not every item will be quantified to be on the ballot, right? Does that make sense?”
