“I have to say, with the increase of the public from everywhere coming to Miami Beach, Surfside, Bay Harbor, Bow Harbor, I would say there would be a slight increase to the amount of people that are on the beach, not in the community center, but on the beach, that it could cause.”

“Good evening and welcome to the March 16th meeting of the Parks and Recreation Committee. I guess this is our final meeting of this commission. And I don't know what... What point do I ask? You want to be chair? No, no, no. I'm asking you to chair.”

“That's one thing I do appreciate from we've had years of meetings where it's been just a kind of a talk about hearts. And now there is, Genesis keeps us straight.”

“That's good. If anybody says anything, there's nothing to say because you kept it straight. All right. Do you have anything, Alan? I do not. Thank you. Approval of minutes for the February 17th meeting. Can I get a motion to approve or if there's any discussion if anybody found anything? I did not.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sorry. Not there yet. Oh, okay. No one will discuss the school bus. What progress have we made to a school bus rather than a coach?”

“The school bus broke before, and we got the coach. Not a problem. We covered our base.”

“They both bring the coach and the bus break. I guess our homework for this summer is to find a decent company.”

“What has been done from the town, from the manager's point of view, for supervision from the public service aid? I don't go out there and check because I don't want to get myself excited for no reason.”

“Because the manager did respond immediately to me of my suggestion of having, hey, Martha, of having a PSA. We've got community service aides riding all over town. Two times a day, they've got to go to two places. It's not a lot to ask for the safety of the children.”

“Not ours. I have followed it twice. Coming home from school. It just happens to be ahead of us. It's a bus from a Hebrew school. Comes from North Miami. I contacted, on the way, I called Bay Harbor PD. I was at the west side of the gas station. It passed me. By the time I got on the bridge, it was over the bridge. By the time I got down the bridge, it was clear of the bridge. This bus was flying. Wow. It stops by, I don't know, it used to be by the movie theater. Do you all remember where the movie theater used to be? It's West Bay Harbor Drive, I think. It opens the door, lets children out,…”

“Through traffic to get to the other side, to the north side of 96th Street.”

“Yes. I called Surfside PD and I said, this bus just did that. I said, I know it's going to stop at Publix. Turned the corner, I followed it down. I was about four cars behind. There was a policeman behind me. Stopped at Publix. No flashes, no nothing. Kids going east across 94th Street through traffic. This is why I grab. They don't listen. So the cop goes down, and this is where it gets bad. Goes down, turns at 90th Street. I was ahead of the bus by then. I watched it turn. Turned at Abbott. Did not stop at the stop sign on Abbott and 90th. The policeman's behind him, puts on his lights.…”

“But it's the side of the bus, because it used to be probably a Dade County school bus. It's blacked out with spray paint, so there's no name of the school anywhere on the bus.”

“And where it says school bus above the back of the bus where the evacuation door is, it's all blacked out.”

“But I don't know the name of the company, I don't know the name of the bus. Did you get a license plate? Yeah, the police have the license plate. But it seems to happen on Fridays, and I think maybe the kids get out of school earlier on a Friday to be home earlier. Because I drive at the same time almost every day, and I don't see it but Fridays. Would that be logical that the kids would get out of Hebrew school earlier to get home before dark? What time was it when you... 2.20, 2.15. When they got off on 96th Street going east and they ran through traffic.”
