[0:26] Committee member, Mario Mishai.

[0:28] Present.

[0:29] And committee member, Monica Scherrer's absent.

[0:32] So there is a quorum for today.

[0:34] I'll go ahead and move it to the next item, which

[0:37] is the appointment of committee chair and vice chair.

[0:39] And I will open the floor to the committee.

[0:44] I've been the chair for the last two years.

[0:46] I kind of hide.

[0:48] give a little background. I've lived in town since 1975. I'm a retired school

[0:54] administrator for over 20 years. I've worked for the school system now for

[0:57] 45 years. I have two children that are older than everybody. I'm just really

[1:03] about marrying in. Everybody is. Yeah, and they all went to them, came here in the

[1:09] parks here and they got everything. They, one went to pay hard work the other one

[1:14] you go to May Harper, you want to specialize in school to use it, and it's just, you know,

[1:19] we live in a lovely place that has great thoughts of children from all ages, from seniors

[1:26] to infants.

[1:29] I get paid the same as a chair or representative, so it doesn't sit Mary-Anne, why don't you

[1:36] tell us a few?

[1:38] I was a vice mayor for six years.

[1:41] So my resume and I will say I've been on the commission for two years, 2022-24, and recently

[1:51] Parks and Rep for the last six months I've been active and I've got a lot of new projects

[2:00] going for the seniors, other new programs for working on March on classes and Tai Chi

[2:09] and other yoga so I'm really excited about moving this on and I went

[2:16] might being chair. Is that can I throw my name in? You can nominate yourself if

[2:23] there's a second. Check it.

[2:28] Talk about yourself please. Yeah yeah. We finished

[2:31] that for two years ago from California. I'm in that for girls about all this

[2:38] This is 12 and I've been, you know, getting to know our board in the community and

[2:44] acclimating and whatnot and over the past year I'd say we made a lot of friends also

[2:49] I'd say, you know, my in-laws moved here as well and I've heard a lot of trucking and whatnot

[2:57] about the parks and this and that so maybe I can join the committee and, you know, just be

[3:02] a voice for, I've no desire to be a child, I just want to be part of and see how I can

[3:10] you know, I've got this talent in here two years and coming to California is going to be

[3:16] big.

[3:16] How did you get the question?

[3:17] Fine, church.

[3:18] It became a year before that we heard Florida's a place to be and everyone was like talking

[3:24] about it and we went from place to place to check out all the different communities and

[3:32] and serve center was the best.

[3:34] Yeah, that's awesome.

[3:36] And have you attended some of the parks and rec events?

[3:41] Yes, really.

[3:43] Like, okay, which ones do you think you'd like to do?

[3:46] So anything that you'd friendly have been to.

[3:48] Okay.

[3:48] So great, great.

[3:50] Fourth of July, all the events at the,

[3:54] at the 60th park at the community center,

[3:59] were all done, the last Thursday events,

[4:01] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, great. So that's a tourist for things. But that's part you got the

[4:11] floor. Yeah, I haven't parked the top lot. There won't be a process for my house.

[4:16] There you go. Okay. It's a great place. It's amazing. I'm in a process

[4:26] She keeps an eye on the part, just next to the community, so you must go to the park.

[4:40] Do you overlook the park?

[4:41] Do you overlook the park?

[4:44] I overlook the park.

[4:45] Yeah, but we'll tell you it calls me one more time by the park.

[4:48] Is that at the home of the teenagers?

[4:51] The teenagers.

[4:52] You're going to call up?

[4:53] Yeah, I was wondering if I'm the only one that notices that.

[4:57] Oh.

[4:57] Who?

[5:00] I have a letter, it's like a night. Oh, I'm going to death for you.

[5:04] You got to get a presentation here.

[5:07] No.

[5:08] If I may go back to work.

[5:10] Yeah.

[5:11] So much care, I'm afraid.

[5:13] I might care.

[5:57] Alright, you know, I don't want it to be available, so...

[6:02] Not necessarily for this, but my camera won't.

[6:06] If we may go back to the motion, you're going to motion for yourself.

[6:35] Committee member Sugar?

[6:37] Yes.

[6:39] And Committee member Mishide?

[6:41] Yes.

[6:42] Motion carries.

[6:45] Now we can have a motion for our vice chair.

[6:47] I would like to nominate Frank McBride.

[6:50] Somebody will also make a motion for that.

[6:52] Oh, can I make a motion?

[6:53] You can't make a motion because of the chair now.

[6:55] Can I make a motion?

[6:56] Yes.

[6:57] I want to know.

[6:58] Right.

[6:59] Thank you.

[7:00] Is there a second for that?

[7:05] Can you do it for yourself?

[7:07] Yeah.

[7:08] You can second.

[7:11] Yeah.

[7:21] Can we remember Mark Ride?

[7:22] Yes.

[7:23] Can we remember Sugar?

[7:25] Yes.

[7:26] Yes, is this the whole committee?

[7:28] This is it.

[7:28] We're going for one.

[7:29] Oh, okay.

[7:30] So, I'll ask you for so far.

[7:31] You're missing one person that you cannot make it today.

[7:33] Oh, okay, got it.

[7:35] And Chair, my side?

[7:36] Yes.

[7:37] Chair, the motion carries.

[7:38] Now, I'll open the floor to you.

[7:42] So, you already called and pointed.

[7:47] Under agenda and order of business.

[7:50] I don't know.

[7:51] I'd like to have a discussion.

[7:52] Madam Chair.

[7:53] Sure.

[7:54] Yes.

[7:55] Discussion on possibly just for discussion canceling the July meeting because I did drive

[8:01] back from Atlanta last night to be here today and you're going to think the last four

[8:07] years or six years we've canceled meetings in July and all of our June and July because

[8:12] people are traveling and they may not be here if you don't have a pool then you can't have

[8:24] the past. I see where he's got like summer camp on here and things like that. But there's

[8:30] nothing that we didn't discuss until August at the close of camps and things like that

[8:37] that was discussed. But we don't know yet and I don't know how I feel about that. I mean,

[8:46] we're the discuss of the one for some. Sure. If I made it, there was another committee member

[8:51] which was Mr. Chavez. He also had the same thought that he was asking if we could cancel

[8:58] the summer meeting as well, the July meeting, as he will be out of town.

[9:02] And he's out of town today.

[9:03] And he's out of town at the moment, yes.

[9:05] That would be...

[9:06] Can he do it on Zoom?

[9:08] No.

[9:08] We don't allow it through per town court.

[9:15] It's just a discussion item.

[9:16] and why was the July date changed from it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't it was a

[9:25] request it was it has a lot of change you know it was just a request for today

[9:36] so you made a motion to add a discussion item for Casa del Jalaim meeting instead of

[9:42] second to that motion sorry

[9:47] I'm with all this you're okay formalities a little bit

[9:51] So if you can just give me the rundown of how this works.

[9:54] So make a motion.

[9:56] Can you?

[9:57] Yes, so she is.

[10:00] the chair. So she runs the meeting. And that's all we just voted on. If you anybody but the chair can make a motion to do anything, you can add an item, do any type of action, anything on some sort, any motion that you make, it needs a second. If there's no second from anybody, the motion dies. And then there's no action to be taken on on that. And everybody needs to vote. And then. And then. And then.

[10:29] Then the motion needs to pass by majority, so if it passes three to two, it passes.

[10:35] If it's both two to three, then it does not pass, so it needs to be the majority of the

[10:40] board voting in favor of the motion.

[10:42] Okay,

[10:45] so I made a motion to add something to the agenda to discuss it.

[10:51] To discuss it, okay.

[10:52] And then it would need a second, if it doesn't get a second measure, it dies.

[10:59] Committee member Erman?

[11:00] Yes.

[11:01] Yes.

[11:02] Committee member, sorry, committee member sugar.

[11:05] Is this about the co-locking team?

[11:07] Yes, if you want to discuss an item or not.

[11:10] Okay.

[11:11] Yes.

[11:13] Vice Chair, back bride?

[11:15] Yes.

[11:15] Chair, my side?

[11:16] Yes.

[11:17] Chair, the motion carries.

[11:19] That will be added as item 5A on their new business.

[11:24] Can I add a discussion item too?

[11:27] You want to add one?

[11:28] You go forward, July event.

[11:30] That's in there I think.

[11:38] Okay, do you need somebody from the board to want to ask them?

[11:45] This is for discussion.

[11:49] I'd like to make a motion to add July 4th events in the run down from the Parks and Recreation

[11:57] Director.

[11:59] So, second to that motion.

[12:00] I can

[12:05] also say all those in favor.

[12:07] If you're in favor to say aye. Yeah, let's be easier. All of us if ever say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Much

[12:13] than carries. That will be added as item 5B under new business. Okay. Any other discussion? I was

[12:23] going to ask about July 4th, all sets.

[12:28] So then are there any other discussion items that anybody

[12:34] Okay, so moving on to the minutes, 3A, can I get a motion to approve the minutes from

[12:45] motion to approve. March 16th, minutes from the Parks and Recreation Committee.

[12:52] All those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries.

[12:57] Okay, moving on to discussion items, parks and rec stuff. Introduction.

[13:03] Good evening. My name is Rudy Coraz on the parks and rec director. I've been here going

[13:10] on maybe seven months now. What I want to do different this time around. Cardinals

[13:18] has always come immediately immediately, but I suggested for this coming commission since

[13:24] Many of the members are not familiar with the faces that work in Parks and Reg, and don't

[13:30] have an understanding of who is behind the scenes.

[13:32] But most of the time, I met at a point I spoke with Carlos and we thought it would be great

[13:38] to bring every month up full-timer with us to speak about their role, their duties, what

[13:44] they could do on their day-to-day, if they want to share their contact information in regards

[13:49] to anything they could help within, honestly, their realm.

[13:52] So today I brought Matthew. He pretty much oversees, he's my facilitator's coordinator, so

[14:00] anything dealing with, if you see damage at the parks, maybe broken window glass, anything

[14:06] with glass, anything that's hazardous or damaged. Matthew is my go-to person. When he comes

[14:13] to that, he deals with vendors, he handles contracts, he has communication with residents.

[14:19] He is handling big ones.

[14:24] Are you handling softly?

[14:27] He's an authorized agent when it comes to that.

[14:30] And other things that may occur.

[14:32] Anything facility related.

[14:34] Matthew is my direct point of contact.

[14:36] And he's the person I work with when we need to find a solution.

[14:40] Where there's emergency related or maybe it's just nothing.

[14:44] Maybe it's just a resident complaint.

[14:46] Matthew is that individual that behind the scenes?

[14:48] This is a wonderful idea.

[14:50] Yeah, so I decided that quite a lot of the time I spoke and we thought it would be good

[14:54] so you guys could see those individuals.

[14:56] What is Matthew's lesson?

[14:57] Casher asked.

[14:59] Spill it?

[15:02] Okay.

[15:05] Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Well, like we said, you know, the facilities coordinator, I'm from

[15:13] Bay Harbor and Surfside, you know, 30 years. I'm around. I've been around, you know, in

[15:18] another area. I love being here. Kind of took the words out of my mouth. You know, anything

[15:25] maintenance related, anything to do with our maintenance staff and anything like that.

[15:31] You

[15:31] make this situation, you know, make it easier and also get everything going as

[15:35] smoothly as possible. How long do you work per count? Going on two years now, 10

[15:41] years ago I worked as a rec one for 2014, and you know, glad to be back, glad to

[15:46] have a nice role with this. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you guys. Nice to meet you.

[15:52] So I'll do it. Also in this sense, I will expose them to these opportunities and

[15:59] discussions so they got an idea maybe in the future maybe not necessarily a

[16:03] search site but in their careers if they grow somewhere else and they do great

[16:06] things they're already acknowledged of what to expect how they can see and I

[16:11] show myself all the time that if you can make it a search site you're gonna be

[16:14] funny. You can make it anywhere. If you can have to live here and make sure all these

[16:24] residents are satisfied, they're managed in administration,

[16:27] satisfied, you have nothing more.

[16:31] So peace, he's like a flower in the wall today,

[16:34] we just here to learn, gain the knowledge

[16:36] of the S question of burial asks,

[16:38] but this is not the coordinator in the quarters.

[16:44] We should go on the quarters,

[16:46] we should get from the woods, we'll assist him directly.

[16:49] And then we'll do the same.

[16:51] Right, right, I didn't hear that car,

[16:52] We'll say that.

[16:53] I'm sorry.

[16:54] Got some words to assist in the right there.

[16:56] OK.

[16:56] So you're right under Rudy there?

[16:58] Correct.

[16:59] I'll be right.

[16:59] Don't worry about me.

[17:00] Congratulations.

[17:01] I thought he heard when I told more work.

[17:04] Well, where we at is then, what's the time?

[17:07] 7 to 15?

[17:08] I started out to write one.

[17:09] Just grew up.

[17:10] Anything you guys need, most open.

[17:13] Just anything.

[17:14] Just don't talk to me.

[17:17] Congratulations.

[17:18] Congratulations.

[17:20] Congratulations.

[17:22] Thank you.

[17:22] and I'm the one who is the person who should be the applicant to solve it.

[17:26] Of course there's other things I'm working on in the future that I'll be able to see come

[17:31] about, but I'm trying to line on my staff all of my wants and have my organization in

[17:36] charge.

[17:37] I want it.

[17:38] and hopefully it all comes in place and it all works

[17:41] for the department, but honestly, the best thing

[17:45] in people living in the city,

[17:48] so they all have fully operational assets.

[17:51] And Carlos, really located.

[17:53] I know at one point you were at 96th Street Park.

[17:55] Yes, so hopefully it's some time back in your life for it.

[17:58] I'll officially move back into the community center.

[18:01] Right now, I'm just going back and forth

[18:02] between the department and the community center.

[18:04] Will there be something else with the 96th Street Park?

[18:07] That's one thing of course is working on with the organizational chart

[18:11] from once to finalize. Probably our next meeting will pressure up for you guys

[18:16] to see what we're doing. Yeah, I mean, you're all to such a great job. I mean, it's really

[18:22] looking good. I know.

[18:27] That's one thing I wanted to introduce to this committee with my staff.

[18:32] So you guys all have an opportunity to see all the faces of what exactly I'm doing.

[18:37] So

[18:42] the next order of business is the 20-26 meeting dates and deadlines.

[18:51] That will be my item, Madam Chair.

[18:53] This is just a procedure.

[18:55] I do this for all the boards and committees.

[18:57] The clerk's office.

[18:58] We create an agenda that lines dates for all of the boards basically.

[19:05] And this is just so you guys can know when the agenda is going to be distributed,

[19:08] it when the meeting date is going to be and also if you do desire to submit an agenda

[19:14] item, it needs to go through the staff liaison, which in this case is Rudy and through the

[19:21] chair in order to get approved. But this is yours. So you have the deadlines by when they

[19:26] need to be submitted to Rudy in order to us to put it on the agenda and everything to

[19:33] runs smoothly.

[19:34] We do have two changes.

[19:36] One of them has been moved to Youngcorpore,

[19:39] which is a Jewish holiday and the another one,

[19:41] which is the July meeting, has been suggested

[19:44] to be moved from the 20th of July to the 27th,

[19:50] due to scheduling conflicts with staff.

[19:53] I do ask if the committee could please make a motion

[19:56] to approve this meeting date and deadlines.

[20:00] So we have them on the record. So you guys were okay with this. Is there a motion?

[20:06] Yes. So it was smooth. It's going to be on the 22nd of September or meeting. That was the only days that was moved to holiday. I have a question. Maybe. Who makes a decision to move the holidays? The holidays. I understand federal holidays.

[20:31] but not religious holidays.

[20:33] We always move them for religious holidays.

[20:37] I always do it in certain ways.

[20:40] We always move them.

[20:42] Historically speaking, we always have moved them.

[20:45] The time that I've been here, the two years that I've been here,

[20:47] and the time that I've been here before,

[20:49] we always move the dates around for boards and committees

[20:52] to accommodate the committee for those holidays.

[20:56] So do you have a list of all the religious holidays?

[20:59] Yes, we have a calendar and we do for all the words and committees. It's not only for this board

[21:04] I understand it. I just wanted to know where it was generated. Okay. Yeah, but this is the only day that we have for that holiday

[21:11] so

[21:12] Madam chair

[21:14] I'm looking over your shoulder. The August meeting would be August 6th

[21:19] No, the August meeting will be August 17. No, that's not your deadline to get something

[21:26] The 17th of August will be the date for our next meeting.

[21:31] You guys meet historically, you guys meet the third Monday of the month.

[21:35] So that's what we try to do.

[21:37] Unless there's a holiday or there's any religious holidays that we do move meetings for.

[21:45] So this is common.

[21:49] So I believe you had a question.

[21:51] I was just going to say I make a motion to change the date.

[21:53] Okay, well, does he first say aye?

[21:58] Aye.

[21:59] Any opposed?

[22:01] Motion carries.

[22:04] Thank you.

[22:14] Okay.

[22:15] So, um, 4C is discussion on meeting time change.

[22:19] I guess you got this into the...

[22:21] It's 530.

[22:24] It's, like, crazy.

[22:27] Like, I'm free all day, but I realize that you guys won't be able to calm.

[22:30] Yeah, we changed the time.

[22:33] Well, it's their date earlier?

[22:35] Yes.

[22:36] Oh, yeah, I wouldn't do it earlier.

[22:39] It used to be at 7 o'clock.

[22:41] Yeah.

[22:41] You used to have staff stay.

[22:42] Yeah.

[22:43] So from 5 to 7 sitting around.

[22:47] Monica, what was your thought process?

[22:49] I'm just earlier in the day.

[22:50] But it's not a possibility that there

[22:56] was no sense.

[22:59] And again, I think the reasoning was.

[23:02] Mornings would be great, but I don't know if they

[23:08] I'm so thinking of working at work, I'm retired and I work at work at work, so I work for the school.

[23:18] And I attend all the new exercise programs I'm just introduced.

[23:22] Okay, that's nice answer.

[23:24] Which you should pop in, if you have a routine but thanks.

[23:30] May I suggest maybe 5 p.m. just to make it a little bit earlier?

[23:35] That's okay with me.

[23:37] Or 5 p.m.?

[23:38] What about you?

[23:39] No, I would have thought you were in a 4 p.m.

[23:42] What are your normal hours?

[23:44] I'm usually in my normal hours and that would be about 6 p.m.

[23:49] Oh.

[23:50] You're 5.30 p.m.

[23:52] I mean I can do 7 a.m. or 6 a.m.

[23:56] That's right.

[23:56] I love it five so I'm still really

[24:00] really

[24:04] yeah that's super charged coffee

[24:11] so is there is there a motion to

[24:14] yeah there's no action to change it then there's no motion to be done

[24:18] we can keep it up by 30 seconds

[24:22] I'm sorry, is that early morning?

[24:26] Okay.

[24:27] Unless there's a way to do something remote.

[24:30] I can just hop on.

[24:33] Yeah.

[24:34] Yeah.

[24:35] Okay.

[24:36] You want to keep it out as it is?

[24:38] Frank, did you say that's not good for you?

[24:40] No, it's fine.

[24:41] 5.

[24:42] 5?

[24:43] They're not.

[24:44] Not bad.

[24:44] Okay.

[24:46] 5.

[24:47] 5.

[24:48] 5.

[24:48] One Monday at every three months is better.

[24:50] I can make it work.

[24:51] It's fine.

[24:52] It's fine.

[24:53] It's fine.

[24:54] I think it's fine.

[24:55] Yeah.

[24:56] Forget it.

[24:58] We changed the time.

[25:05] No, it's, I don't think five or five thirty makes a different self. It's going to make you crazy with the traffic.

[25:14] Okay, you try. But you don't know unless you ask either. Yeah, I just wasn't aware before.

[25:23] Should we? You can't just go on discussion or should we move on to the next? We can move on for now.

[25:29] I'll probably bring it up again if I want.

[25:31] Don't worry.

[25:31] Okay.

[25:32] Thank you.

[25:33] You're welcome.

[25:35] Okay.

[25:37] The May Benzing Machine Numbers.

[25:40] Rudy?

[25:41] Or?

[25:41] Yeah.

[25:42] Sure.

[25:43] Or the new assistant?

[25:45] Just a little background.

[25:47] So we provide you guys on monthly recap, so what?

[25:50] The Benzing Machine cells.

[25:51] We have five benzing machines to have the park at the

[25:54] community center.

[25:54] For the month of May, we sold 550 ice creams, we sold 410 beverages and 410 snacks, and

[26:03] that's how I made a profit of $826.

[26:08] Does that go to your budget?

[26:11] That's a good question.

[26:13] Excellent question.

[26:15] Yeah.

[26:15] That should.

[26:17] I know we deposited it to check within our system, but where it's, it should contribute

[26:22] into it.

[26:23] So, who deposits the checks, would they know?

[26:27] Oh, Virginia, the other Matthew, myself,

[26:30] and it was going to be funded into the red track.

[26:34] And then once we,

[26:35] well, we deposited it into the system

[26:37] and then I don't know what GIO, I guess,

[26:39] distributed it to from after that.

[26:41] I was asked.

[26:42] Yeah, can you find out?

[26:45] Good question.

[26:46] The school we had had bending machines for Mr. Obama

[26:51] got healthy, honestly.

[26:53] That went into a principal's discretionary budget, I could buy things for the children,

[26:57] I could buy things for the staff, I could buy things for the secretaries, that normal

[27:01] budget I wouldn't have those funds to do.

[27:05] The extras.

[27:06] I don't know if they had it set up, that it's like revenue for the town that it all just goes

[27:09] into one pot.

[27:10] Like, hard to say.

[27:11] It should be.

[27:12] It should be.

[27:14] It should be.

[27:16] But it's not.

[27:17] We'll bring that up.

[27:17] Yeah.

[27:18] Yeah, I wonder when the restaurant was in service, but I know you won't hear, I don't know

[27:26] what you're going to hear.

[27:27] The restaurant they come to.

[27:28] So did that, oh, that product went to that.

[27:31] Did you have a product apartment and then the rest went to the, to wherever we were.

[27:35] Yeah.

[27:35] I don't track it out there.

[27:37] So it did go into the department.

[27:40] It wasn't a lot.

[27:41] Yeah.

[27:42] We got so much.

[27:44] Yeah.

[27:44] We had to keep looking on that.

[27:46] Could you consider the kayak

[27:54] rental because of income machine, you know, any stats, we haven't had stats on the ending that in months.

[28:00] Oh, we can get that.

[28:02] Okay, so I'd like to doubt because it's just to see whether or not I know the mail because I pulled it down two days ago.

[28:10] We only had eight rentals and the people aren't having a fit.

[28:14] Go mostly did they bring their own something out renting from there. I believe two paddles $25 an hour or the members just two hundred a year

[28:25] I didn't even think about that. I thought that it was like

[28:28] Yeah, that we have cash and pot of was through to their single use for

[28:33] For the month of May the town starts on me $376.44 again

[28:39] I should go for your program

[28:41] I mean, in my opinion,

[28:46] the ramp is being utilized by residents with their own.

[28:54] The only residents can use it, right?

[28:56] Or if you're a potter member.

[28:57] That you have the membership, you can use it.

[29:00] So outsiders can use it?

[29:02] So how does that accompany?

[29:04] Yes, it comes, yes, to the agreement we have.

[29:06] But if you want to use the job here, you want to use it.

[29:09] I thought the park was just for start side residents.

[29:13] Yeah, we don't have a check-in system at the gay area.

[29:18] Just a public park shelter.

[29:20] The community centers to the residents.

[29:22] And the hotel gets.

[29:24] Why is that?

[29:26] Because I get, maybe that's the public park.

[29:28] And there's no really check-in system around the park.

[29:33] The community center has always been open to hotel guests.

[29:37] Because there was years ago, there was a lot of hotels that didn't have a pool.

[29:42] But I thought you need to have a community center of pass to get into that.

[29:48] How do you do?

[29:50] But not 96 to you.

[29:52] No.

[29:53] What do you have to do if you're a hotel guest?

[29:56] Sure, you're here.

[29:57] I'm going to use this hotel.

[29:57] There's a hotel.

[29:58] There's one with a warm at each hotel.

[30:05] And then we confirm if you're a resident or a UVs, and that's how we give you access to that. And I was a kid who might have gave you a dime, and you went. 35 cents here in Pennsylvania. It was a nut.

[30:20] The good old days. Okay. So,

[30:27] you're going to find out or back of some glitches and that's bending machines. Any other comment on that bending machines?

[30:34] for E. May Senior Branch recap.

[30:39] Bingo.

[30:41] Yes, so we had our May, on May 15, round of bingles.

[30:47] And we had a Cuban style one with farewell residents.

[30:50] And we had over 30 participants go there and enjoy it.

[30:54] And I see we'll give you a bingo.

[30:59] So my question is, is that the end of Bingo?

[31:04] Court to Spingo go on through that's the summer yes our senior bunch that is

[31:10] the last one so November again till November correct yes so we start again our

[31:17] senior bunches and troops because that's the way it's always been done it's

[31:21] usually the the babies I mean we have tried in August September we just don't get

[31:25] the numbers you know that's one of the the snobbers come

[31:30] I don't know, but there's a big population here.

[31:33] Yeah, they probably just don't want to do it.

[31:36] No, they do.

[31:37] They do.

[31:38] But that only 30 people showed up and that that's most...

[31:41] No, that was a big number.

[31:42] Yeah, that's a big number.

[31:46] But like, yeah, when we do it in August,

[31:48] the only like 8, 7, I know.

[31:50] Yeah.

[31:51] That's a big number.

[31:53] Right.

[31:53] So I'm saying probably they wrote a lot of snow for us.

[31:56] No, I was there.

[31:57] And everybody was wanting it to continue.

[32:01] So maybe...

[32:03] Or maybe you just said that in August and that one shows up.

[32:07] Maybe they're out of town or they go to the summer house.

[32:09] I know, this is a hypothetical.

[32:12] And again, we can discuss it later,

[32:17] but everybody at that meeting wanted the seniors want to continue.

[32:22] A lot of things through the summer

[32:24] because we are here and it's going to be really hot and we live alone and it's a

[32:35] social thing and people look forward to that. They don't have families here. So I'm

[32:42] trying to open everybody's eyes to the reality of the seniors and we can talk

[32:52] about more like a budget, what it would really cost and how many people you need.

[32:56] I mean, you could always cancel it if people want to get people to sign up.

[33:00] We have to place that food order in the time of the matter.

[33:03] So what is the timely manner?

[33:07] Yeah.

[33:07] But we cater our food and we normally get large questions.

[33:12] We don't get, we don't.

[33:13] We get fine.

[33:14] That's a good caterer.

[33:16] And they do pay for it.

[33:18] There's a budget that we have.

[33:20] We have our budget set for those.

[33:23] It's not free, they pay.

[33:25] I said there's a fee.

[33:26] Yes, yeah.

[33:29] So what is the timeframe for when you have to order food?

[33:33] Like half-arm advanced.

[33:36] A week, a week, a week, a week, a week before the minimal.

[33:44] So why don't you send that in here

[33:46] or need to know the people that were there?

[33:49] Do you have a group or just a conversation?

[33:57] They have to sign up, so you probably have to record the people that went to the main

[34:02] meeting.

[34:04] We could do a survey if they want to continue it through the summer, they're built

[34:08] Italy.

[34:09] I know half of them are in my building.

[34:11] A lot of them are in the condos.

[34:13] Yeah, I can figure that out.

[34:15] Yeah.

[34:16] Or is there an idea maybe to have another trial room?

[34:20] Exactly.

[34:21] Yeah, yeah, but it seems like maybe, you know, there's just more or more people moving in here and staying as opposed to custom, you know, just being snowboards.

[34:33] Thank you.

[34:33] Give it another shot.

[34:34] And if the numbers don't hit, don't we have our answer?

[34:37] Yeah.

[34:39] So, I mean, that would be good to also look up the list from the people that attended in May.

[34:46] especially the snowflakes lived by the end of April.

[34:53] They were a lot forward to cons.

[34:56] It's usually even more popular than 30.

[35:02] Okay, so, can we just follow up on? I mean, we could probably put an announcement out to see if we do get interest. But those seniors do have to commit. They can pay just, yes, and then they... No, they can pay them for the fee. Yeah, they have to sign up. Yeah. But we need to sign up, like, the re-weeks events, not the week of. Okay. Because if we place to order, the week of. Right. Right.

[35:31] Right. We have a sign of one purchasing for 50 people and the intention of one is not really costly.

[35:35] I get it. So, what would be a reasonable month to try?

[35:44] We go one out for August.

[35:51] The second one? The third week?

[35:53] The second or the second?

[35:54] The second or the second?

[35:55] The second or the second?

[35:55] The third week would normally do it.

[35:58] So, if we do it,

[36:06] if we put it for August 14th,

[36:13] And if it's, you know, August 14th, I would need, by July 31st, at least 15 seniors signed up before I could place an order.

[36:26] Okay. How would we get the word out for them?

[36:29] We can make sure.

[36:30] And then, and all the classes without the training announcements, and then I could have Matthew, the Carlos put it into record.

[36:38] I'll walk around and put it in all conducts.

[36:41] Maybe you also prefaced that with saying this is a trial, like it's not supposed to happen, we're testing a order, so either sign up or sign an app and we'll know that we're working with them.

[37:00] Let's say that again.

[37:04] Right.

[37:05] Like on the Wednesdays where there's senior.

[37:16] Yeah.

[37:17] Yeah.

[37:42] So

[37:49] we're on for trial for an announcement for a trial run and safe we get

[37:57] I have to go back and read the GL account and see what's in there to see what I could work with to order food and then I could make the decision.

[38:07] Okay, so when would that be tomorrow? Okay. Thank you. Any more discussion on it?

[38:18] The next item is for up. May I see your trip recap?

[38:51] Yeah, I mean, I'll be the ones that they went to the actors play house to see the battle and from murder play

[38:56] Okay.

[39:00] Any other discussion? Who puts together the trips are great. The senior trips. They

[39:07] go to Coral Gables to this, like, off-roadway house on New York, on the other.

[39:18] I've looked here my whole way. New York, from my house.

[39:20] I mean, from my age, I was born in Los Angeles, but I gave me a recap, but I get it.

[39:30] It's not only that, it's the gardens, it's different museums and different places,

[39:37] really do a good job.

[39:38] Thank you.

[39:39] Yeah.

[39:40] That sounds fine.

[39:41] And when is the next senior trip?

[39:44] November?

[39:45] Yes.

[39:46] So usually we do start our hard seasons from November to May.

[39:50] It's when we run senior trips and have our brunches.

[39:53] Okay.

[39:54] We'll work on that.

[39:56] Thank you.

[39:57] Any other discussion?

[40:00] Board g, memorial, they say, ceremony. Yes. So, one of the days in a movie, it was on the

[40:27] the debris and stuff. That's all that you've been on. That's out of the talent.

[40:31] I thought we did a different excellent job with adjusting where the canopy was set up.

[40:36] And your speakers and everything I thought that wasn't.

[40:39] That was coordinated with Carlos and George.

[40:41] That was coordinated with Carlos and George.

[40:44] That's great.

[40:45] That was coordinated that.

[40:47] Just sad to see that through the years the veterans have dwindled.

[40:52] We used to have, well, 15, 20 people speak about their history in the service, and we stand

[41:00] in a couple.

[41:01] A lot of them are aging and they're just really hard and they really don't want to participate.

[41:04] I don't want to.

[41:04] I don't know.

[41:05] I guess they did.

[41:06] Right.

[41:07] They should do it.

[41:08] But Major Slamal did share with George and I a contact list of more younger veterans, more

[41:15] still in service, on the troops, so, hopefully for next year.

[41:19] and maybe for veterans they will have new faces out there and saw new stories. So I'm really looking forward to that.

[41:28] Was there any staff member that attempted to contact ROTC or the Boy Scouts Girl Scouts?

[41:36] Every time they always get in the same mindset.

[41:40] Which they always committed. There's only one group and they always commit to mommy gardens.

[41:47] so we can never get them. I try to reach out for them.

[41:50] To be sure if you see, they stop.

[41:52] So they stop once or anything outside of there.

[41:58] So the remnants from the collapse,

[42:04] because it's in the transport that's under your jurisdiction now,

[42:08] or what's open now.

[42:11] Public works.

[42:12] Yeah, so they have the debris stationed right off of them.

[42:16] And I know they're trying to relocate it, but I guess they haven't found a location and then obviously that project across the street is still going on, so

[42:27] it's out of our department and got rid of you.

[42:30] That's what I was wondering.

[42:31] Yeah, so it really has nothing to do with folks in the right.

[42:34] Yeah, just taking out your space at the moment, which is making it look ugly.

[42:40] Well, it's not a good vibe.

[42:45] and that's coming up. So, our co-sense is at the university, the tourist board?

[42:55] Oh, okay.

[42:58] Any more discussion on 4G than orientates?

[43:02] No, no, no. Okay, 4H, May Charter, bus number.

[43:08] Thank you for may we're averaging about 32 kids

[43:14] And school was just going on about that

[43:21] You know my disgustin all that

[43:25] Do you want to come on that and bring everybody else up to a $1,000 a year, $1,000 a month

[43:31] investment if we make that it's not necessary. What? School bus. The little charter bus we had

[43:38] private company that comes with a coach bus to pick up 32 children and take them a

[43:44] mile to Bay Harbor. They cost $12,000 a month. It's free for them? They don't have to do

[43:50] any subs. They have to sign up. So those are people that act kids that live in the

[43:56] neighborhood and that can't get the kids to school. I'm sure they can. It's just a

[44:00] service we provide.

[44:02] It, the commission is serious that it takes cars off of 96

[44:06] street and away from the school zone that have lower.

[44:10] Very good.

[44:11] Very good.

[44:12] Well, it takes about a minute.

[44:16] It's not,

[44:20] it's pretty good to say for the kids, but it's not safe for the kids.

[44:23] Because they hire a coach bus, a limousine bus, doesn't have lights, doesn't have flashers,

[44:29] doesn't have a guard in the front and drive the PSC, the children, and if you want to see

[44:34] my videos of children jumping off the bus and running down Byron Avenue without even

[44:39] thinking about looking at the sea.

[44:43] blue sherbox, like.

[44:44] 2018 LucBusters.

[44:44] I can't believe.

[44:46] I let go of the Europas.

[44:48] I think they're not performing.

[44:49] You just try and get really good teams.

[44:51] I don't have to think about much too much.

[44:55] I just want to ask you something.

[44:55] Have I seen that?

[44:55] Let's all go back and play.

[44:56] For me, in the DW,

[44:59] the playoffs are gonna

[44:59] sing a whole different song.

[45:00] We've got a school bus for a short time, but the problem is if they say the school bus constantly broke down. So I know the commission's had discussion on buying their own van, their own small bus to keep the service going. But then you have to have at least a minimum of two drivers that are certified to be driving a bus with children on it. It's just been, is it normal?

[45:29] For me being a principal, it just bothers me that we put children on a bus, and children don't sit on the bus and behave.

[45:39] I don't know. I've been on many, many school buses for 45 years.

[45:42] The Catholic school.

[45:45] But it's just how fast that is.

[45:47] It was really high. The cost of it.

[45:50] $12,000.

[45:51] What would be your recommendation?

[45:52] Because it sounds...

[45:54] My recommendation?

[45:55] Mammies, carpool, they get to know their neighbors, my kid went there, we didn't drive my

[46:02] neighbor's to come, you know, we, I live on Bay Drive and everybody walks or takes a

[46:07] scooter, and some NIC parents ride any bikes with their kids on the bike.

[46:12] But there are, I can't believe there's a bus like this, my kid didn't go to Bay

[46:16] Arbor, I'd nap that luxury of being able to send them there because I made my own

[46:21] choices, but I think it's crazy. It's like right over the bridge. It's less than a mile away and it's,

[46:28] but a coach bus. I know that the commission has looked into other companies and the manager

[46:37] has told me that he's still looking in the other companies that would, there are private, there's

[46:42] Louis Morena as private school bus company, but it's still, that's the one thing that bothers me the

[46:49] the most, secondly, is the cost.

[46:51] Do we have a history of the last couple of years?

[46:55] Because I think we keep going through this.

[46:57] Like, sometimes we don't have a school bus.

[46:59] Sometimes we have a school bus.

[47:00] School bus was weeks.

[47:02] That's along the school bus last year.

[47:05] And then we went back to a coach.

[47:08] No, but was there a time period where there were no buses at all?

[47:13] Well, this is your story.

[47:13] And we just started on your dates.

[47:15] Right.

[47:16] This is the story.

[47:17] I don't understand why the former commission thought it was a good idea because of the traffic

[47:26] on 96th Street and the traffic going on in the park where they could go over.

[47:31] It's a discussion now with the commission and they've gone over three options, but

[47:37] ultimately it's up to their decision.

[47:39] It's on the agenda.

[47:41] It wasn't the agenda for me.

[47:44] And they had to first meet all the persuading on the run.

[47:48] Oh, they didn't get through that.

[47:50] But the contract that we have, your charter,

[47:52] I'll just expire.

[47:53] So it would need to be renewed if we

[47:55] wanted to do it for this career or over a year.

[47:58] And you didn't ask them.

[47:59] They shouldn't renew with that.

[48:00] What happened?

[48:00] That was $1.00.

[48:02] One of the options was not to provide $1.00 a month.

[48:05] Yeah.

[48:06] Well, the people should be contributing

[48:08] towards that if they want to bust like that.

[48:10] That's not right.

[48:12] I'm not a friend of the school.

[48:18] I never heard of a school.

[48:21] I heard of the school providing a school bus.

[48:26] But they're busking at this school.

[48:27] This is our 90 days time.

[48:29] So why don't they provide a bus?

[48:31] Because you don't need to leave early.

[48:32] Honestly, I never heard of it.

[48:33] Why do you never worry about the line that?

[48:35] Why do they busking at this school?

[48:36] They must be.

[48:37] But I'm trying to make sure that everyone talks one at a time.

[48:39] Okay, yeah. Hold on. One at a time, but can you tell us what Miami-Dade provides?

[48:47] Miami-Dade County.

[48:48] My school bus is providing services to public school kids to their school. I don't know

[48:53] why if Ruth gave runs a mile away, sir, sir, that doesn't help us.

[48:56] Because you have to lose two point one miles away from any school site in order to get transportation.

[49:12] So that's why the teenagers here get to see the drivers do their routes if they have one at a time. Yeah, we should be recorded. That's all.

[49:20] I don't know why it hasn't happened, why be child?

[49:25] I don't know, I don't know that too much.

[49:28] So we could just not renew it.

[49:30] The commission could decide just to renew it.

[49:33] And then, what if they have the two options?

[49:36] They obviously renew, not to renew.

[49:39] And then for the town to purchase something internal,

[49:43] it could either be the 26th passenger trolley type of bus.

[49:49] and that would serve as seniors and our youth or we could get an actual school

[49:54] but then we would that would cost additional we would have to like Frank said we

[50:00] And then people. Two CDL drivers, obviously maintenance and cost for the fees and like, flea pretty much all the maintenance that will cover for the year. But the initial cost would be just a purchase. Then everything else would be. Is there an option just not offer the service? That is one of the options, but they haven't chosen one. Could we make a recommendation from our committee?

[50:26] Well, was there a recommendation on how to do it?

[50:29] Okay.

[50:29] One was, how long has it been?

[50:34] That's it.

[50:34] The commission is on it.

[50:35] Madam Chair, could you make a recommendation?

[50:37] Possibly we'll have to make a motion to direct

[50:39] ready to make a motion to the manager to bring to the commission.

[50:44] Thank you.

[50:46] Okay.

[50:47] Could there be a motion to bring our recommendation?

[50:53] Not to right now.

[50:54] Not to renew.

[50:55] I guess everyone else that agree on it, but that's my suggestion, not to renew it at all.

[51:00] Is that all in that?

[51:01] All those in favor say aye.

[51:03] Aye.

[51:03] Any opposed?

[51:05] Which one carries?

[51:06] That's a good way to get things.

[51:09] A recommendation from the committee to the commission, because that's why there's so much

[51:14] to do.

[51:15] They need a forefront under discussion.

[51:16] Yeah.

[51:17] Great.

[51:18] So, so you guys are aware now, I'll make the room in condition to tomorrow, the town manager, and he take my recommendation and he presents it to the commissioner.

[51:30] Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

[51:32] But the recommendation is already on the agenda, it's obviously on the agenda.

[51:37] But it also is an approach to the director and the committee.

[51:42] That eventually has to be discussed, but ultimately the commission makes the decision.

[51:45] Right.

[51:46] But you'll say the committee also recommended it.

[51:49] You're something?

[51:50] Well, now I can add additional.

[51:52] I make my recommendation as a department head, but now I say my committee's behind me, they think

[51:57] we should not rehearse this contract.

[51:59] Perfect.

[52:00] Okay.

[52:00] Thank you.

[52:01] Any other discussion on the school bus?

[52:04] Great.

[52:05] Shocking.

[52:06] I know.

[52:07] 4-I, YMCA, YMCA, Summer Camp Week.

[52:12] What number?

[52:13] Week 1, we had over the 20 kids and this week we have 11 so far.

[52:20] Why is it called YMCA Summer Camp Week?

[52:23] Is that just for YMCA?

[52:24] They're the ones posting her on our campus.

[52:26] All summer or just for...

[52:28] All summer, yes.

[52:29] We bring up this day.

[52:31] Is that something new?

[52:32] It used to be just a certain size, it used to be how the scale is correct, but how difficult

[52:37] bit we would switch to one and outsource, which we started with paraprograms and then

[52:42] we switched to the YMCA to bring in other kids, mostly serviciders, it used to be mostly DCM

[52:51] and children to comply with.

[52:53] What?

[52:54] What is that stand for?

[52:56] I know what the partner and children families have.

[52:58] So we're in the Children's and Family and Children's Trust.

[53:02] Those are the kids I come?

[53:04] No, that's because why I'm seeing it is under that branch.

[53:07] Oh yeah, yeah. So they have the staff that's already credited in that.

[53:11] So they could, they could super-

[53:12] So it's not Serbsite counselors.

[53:15] Like Serbsite is a boy's name.

[53:17] The teenagers that used to work in the neighborhood at the camp,

[53:19] but not type of things.

[53:21] Oh.

[53:22] Okay.

[53:23] Oh.

[53:25] It's a major environment for the town because they use hiring and maybe do all the certifications

[53:30] and they do all the licensing.

[53:32] Yeah, it's a done deal.

[53:33] Most of those teenagers in that group don't know.

[53:36] They say a lot of jobs.

[53:39] Those still, some of them are recreation views for us or it will be that great.

[53:44] They're just not with the summer counter-optic.

[53:47] So week one equals 20 kids is that good?

[53:50] I have no idea.

[53:51] That is really low.

[53:52] It's pretty low.

[53:56] So do you sign up for the whole summer or just one week?

[53:59] Weakly.

[54:01] Weakly.

[54:03] How much is it?

[54:04] A lot.

[54:05] Like how much?

[54:09] That is the previous year.

[54:10] Is this 20 number power?

[54:13] Well every year, after going to summer camp, prices go up.

[54:17] Which was like daycare prices.

[54:18] No, he met me on a kid.

[54:19] I'm sure about a kid's a little low, I think.

[54:22] When's it last year start doing that?

[54:23] Oh, you said COVID.

[54:24] But are they doing anything at school?

[54:27] So for residents, it's $195 a week, non-residents, 250.

[54:35] Well, I don't think it's gone off that much.

[54:37] It seems like it's a lot.

[54:40] Well, they have bad activities for them all day.

[54:42] Right.

[54:44] But pay harbors have a special program or somewhere else?

[54:48] They're doing one at the actual school.

[54:49] Yeah.

[54:50] And that takes kids from us.

[54:52] So some campus that you have.

[54:55] Also our kids are staying at school.

[54:58] You know.

[55:01] So, I see that the pay anything for the ones, the A to B, and that can't be using our, they pay us. They pay us. They pay us. I must say they pay.

[55:11] I'm going to check the contract, yeah. I'm good. Yeah. I'll have that. I just need to listen to this. Well then, we're not losing anything. It's a win-win. You're taking care of the kids, so. Yeah.

[55:23] You're taking care of the licensing and the qualifications. Higher. So no matter what you get paid. So they renew the contract.

[55:32] That's the first week anyway. School just got out.

[55:36] Right, people go on trips. Yeah.

[55:39] School's out. Okay.

[55:44] Was there any more for you looking at the other members?

[55:48] Or are we good?

[55:50] I don't know, we lose our phones when it's wrong.

[55:53] We're looking at... I just didn't print anything.

[56:03] This is my computer.

[56:04] Absolutely.

[56:05] Oh, if you're not using iPad, are you using iPad?

[56:07] No.

[56:17] So should we move on?

[56:22] I'm just going to move it.

[56:24] It's not over now.

[56:27] New business you wanted to have the day.

[56:30] So moving on to new business.

[56:33] I don't fight that way.

[56:34] The day the July day.

[56:37] You wanted to.

[56:39] I wanted to make a recommendation and discussion to cancel the July meeting.

[56:43] It was 800 because of people traveling and we don't have, for instance, if we didn't

[56:55] have a senior brunch, a senior trip, Memorial Day,

[57:03] no school bus, what would we be discussing

[57:08] except for a Fourth of July?

[57:11] Maybe we should flip these things forward to utilize them to be all about.

[57:16] Oh, you mean that fact or the fact?

[57:18] If you were to move the May item from the agenda, for instance, what would you be discussing?

[57:25] Summer camp, how many kids came to summer camp, and that's about an introduction of a new staff member.

[57:32] Unless somebody has something else on the agenda?

[57:34] There's some historically over the last four years, I've been on this committee often on since a long time, 25 years.

[57:42] Over the last four years we canceled meetings in June and July, because of the people traveling,

[57:48] except I drew back on the planet that had come to this.

[57:52] So in July, I'm expecting another grand child.

[57:57] So you're going to be back in Pennsylvania?

[58:06] Yes, Mr. Chavez, which is not present today, he also had mentioned that to me regarding the cancellation of the summer meetings.

[58:14] I just wanted to throw it out there, but I have to bring it back.

[58:17] I make the motion to cancel until I'm new with me.

[58:20] Yes, I mean, since you presented it that way, it makes sense.

[58:25] All those in favour say aye.

[58:26] Any opposed?

[58:29] What's your carries?

[58:31] Item 5p, Fourth of July.

[58:34] We're doing it.

[58:36] So, I know Fourth of July,

[58:39] Fourth of July, three of them.

[58:44] Third time, it's going to be a little different this year.

[58:48] Not only because it's on a Saturday,

[58:51] with a lot of residents,

[58:52] or they celebrate about it hasn't been on a Saturday since 2015 yeah we always celebrate

[59:02] on July 4th. So the last time it was on July 4th on a Saturday was 2015. The concession

[59:11] stand was actually operational at that time so it wasn't a conflict. This year one of the

[59:16] was the kosher option. So you guys are aware we will have a kosher option. We're

[59:23] going with a new time kosher catering and then we'll also have two food

[59:31] shops. At the community center our activities will be from two to seven. All the

[59:38] family activities are relay races, our foods, our giveaways. We'll still have the

[59:43] same rundown, maybe a couple more attractions, but nothing crazy.

[59:48] And then this year with the Commission as a Mayor, they wanted to have a collaborative

[59:54] effort with Bell Harbor and May Harbor.

[59:58] So traditionally

[1:00:00] We are drawn to fireworks normally. They fire off behind on the 33rd on the b-side. So this year, once we can grow our activities at 7, from 7 to 9 p.m., Bay Harbor is going to host an activity in a bed on 96th Street. They'll have a lab band, entertainment. They're going to provide another food truck. And then obviously children activities as well. And then they'll have a dance party on the b-side.

[1:00:29] and go out the stage and I'm sure the elected officials have a photo

[1:00:34] app or whatever the case may be. And then at 9 p.m. the drums and firewoods will

[1:00:39] be shooting out from the jetty at Bell Art. So the actual watch for our

[1:00:46] residents to see these attractions will be awesome between 95th and 96th Street.

[1:00:52] This is something bad. It's not all right, but this is something that was proposed by

[1:00:58] the commission of the mayor. They got with me and the director from the other

[1:01:03] times and they want us originally I was a forward but something they suggested to

[1:01:11] make like a collaborative effort between all of us. So the commission the

[1:01:22] old commission the great on this? The mayor and the commission yes. Was it public?

[1:01:27] Like a pop-up record?

[1:01:29] No.

[1:01:30] It initially started with Mayor Shlomo meeting with the other managers at Mayor.

[1:01:35] They had a discussion about traffic lighting and they couldn't finalize anything so they

[1:01:40] said if we can't work on this, we'll never be able to do anything.

[1:01:44] And for some reason it just switched over to the July 4th.

[1:01:47] So when did all the commissioners and the Mayor vote on this?

[1:01:52] They didn't vote.

[1:01:54] They just proposed it and wanted to do it.

[1:01:58] what was your name? I'm not sure, I'm a mother league department I'm going to have a briefing in the Senate.

[1:02:08] They want to show an effort that they're all trying to work together, so they're trying to have kind of a vent together.

[1:02:16] Okay, an effort to show all the residents that they're trying to work together in a sense, I guess.

[1:02:21] Well, because we need to work together to fix the traffic problem, which is the next one of the, one of the basically why they're doing it.

[1:02:28] So, to the 2 to 7, which is really bad.

[1:02:31] The 2 to 7 is going to be for suicide.

[1:02:33] No, no, no.

[1:02:36] 2 to 7 will be for the residents of search.

[1:02:39] Okay.

[1:02:40] Those will be for us and then the actual, I mean, a pretty sure Bay Harbor will find a way to come participate, but they won't be in our really races.

[1:02:49] and they won't be able to get food or give us.

[1:02:54] God, it's going to be for our residents to go wash.

[1:02:58] So then at 7, they harbor, and then you say street is going to host their dinner activity,

[1:03:04] and we'll be able to go listen to them.

[1:03:05] At the 96th park?

[1:03:07] So, it's the 96th.

[1:03:08] It's like one of the farmers.

[1:03:10] The farmer, yes.

[1:03:11] Point like there, I don't know.

[1:03:12] So everybody?

[1:03:13] So at the 96th street, if you just walk east, like if you wander the ocean,

[1:03:16] Right, a stage entertain me.

[1:03:18] Okay. A live band, I'm pretty sure they're gonna have a singer.

[1:03:21] Oh, okay.

[1:03:21] So, they'll be able to host us as well, but at 9 p.m.

[1:03:25] Oh, our audience will be coming from the jetty.

[1:03:28] I know, usually there's like three things going on at once.

[1:03:31] Traditionally, we're used to it all being right here.

[1:03:33] Right.

[1:03:34] So, now all of it is gonna be at the jetty.

[1:03:37] They have 600 drones now and five or five hours as well.

[1:03:41] So, Rudy, what you're saying is...

[1:03:43] We're ready.

[1:03:50] So Rudy, what you're saying, the festivities start at 10 a.m., to be a 7 p.m.?

[1:03:59] But I thought you said you have relay verses.

[1:04:03] That's 2 to 7 p.m.

[1:04:05] The morning hours are for vendors and our contractors and all our activities.

[1:04:08] Okay, so that changed, used to have some stuff going on and anyway, okay, two to seven.

[1:04:17] And so nothing's going on on the beach then.

[1:04:21] You're not closing the beach down for the fireworks like you usually do on my condo.

[1:04:26] Okay, so then now, wait, now my question is, are we going to have the beach check and session

[1:04:33] out the men? Why? They're not scared of that day. Why? Because originally you had the fireworks

[1:04:45] going on there. But let's get it back on then. You're taking the fireworks away from us.

[1:04:51] That's going to cause a lot of congestion. And it's going to be a safety hazard.

[1:04:55] You have an 100-second street out of fireworks.

[1:05:00] What do you mean the congestion? Do you always have the chairs? No, because they closed the beach

[1:05:08] dam for art fireworks. Go on right next to it, right? Right. Right. But now we're not going to have

[1:05:16] them there. They're at a hundred and second street. So we need the beach chairs back as our

[1:05:22] The beach chairs don't work on NPM anyway.

[1:05:26] That's true.

[1:05:27] They worked just 6.30, though.

[1:05:29] So they wouldn't be there to see the fireworks anymore?

[1:05:32] So you're suggesting them to see the fireworks

[1:05:34] and not see the fireworks?

[1:05:35] Or you're just suggesting that I want my beach chairs back.

[1:05:40] If we don't have the beach closed, that was the only reason

[1:05:44] that there couldn't be a recommendation.

[1:05:46] But I remember, Maryam, we're going to have

[1:05:47] a thousand people out there.

[1:05:49] We normally have attendance of the fire.

[1:05:50] I know.

[1:05:51] on one of them. How are we going to be there?

[1:05:53] Always there. How are we going to accommodate

[1:05:54] a thousand people for those beach chairs?

[1:05:57] You already shut down.

[1:05:59] But if we offer beach chairs to one resident,

[1:06:01] other residents are going to want them.

[1:06:04] They're going to go with the way the beach chairs always run.

[1:06:08] It's very different. They'll set up their own chairs.

[1:06:12] They'll set up their tents. But the beach chair program

[1:06:21] They don't work till 90 and then also on 4th of July when you make that goal.

[1:06:25] There are always this.

[1:06:26] Isn't it private behind your apartment?

[1:06:29] No.

[1:06:29] Because these are just public.

[1:06:30] Madam Chair, should we only want conversation?

[1:06:32] No.

[1:06:33] Excuse me.

[1:06:34] All right.

[1:06:36] There's only one conversation.

[1:06:37] Hello.

[1:06:38] Okay.

[1:06:39] There's only one conversation at a time.

[1:06:41] so that because this is being recorded and it's hard when more than one person talks at a time.

[1:06:50] So, again, my concern is there's no reason to close down the beach chair concession

[1:07:00] if you're not closing down the beach, that's what would happen.

[1:07:05] We're going to how do we transport the chairs out of we're going to have the green space full of activities for families?

[1:07:11] The right on the edge, just the same way you always do it. They set up a tent. This starts a tent.

[1:07:18] They set up a tent and they close it for 30.

[1:07:23] The beach chairs, the beach chairs set up as usual at 10.

[1:07:29] But the facility we're going to have staff unloading their equipment vendors are coming in with equipment

[1:07:35] Where is the where the vendors can be located?

[1:07:38] All throughout the community center.

[1:07:40] But the chairs are just in the corner.

[1:07:45] But the beach, the beach might see the company.

[1:07:49] They have to unload those and roll them out.

[1:07:51] I know. I go watch the event every day.

[1:07:54] You watch them, but they're not people coming in and out with vendors and machines and equipment.

[1:07:58] I don't, I don't see any reflections the machines are.

[1:08:02] They're going to be on the green space. That's what purposely.

[1:08:04] No, but the chairs are not on the green space.

[1:08:09] He just said they've never operated on the light.

[1:08:12] Because they close the beach town.

[1:08:15] Correct, but the green space is also a difficult for them to move and to maneuver with.

[1:08:20] I'm going to look at it, you know.

[1:08:22] Also, we have three commuters are trying to come together because then if we could...

[1:08:32] Yes, I said I've been living here 24 years ago, I know, but it doesn't mean that you attend at all.

[1:08:39] Okay.

[1:08:40] Yeah.

[1:08:41] Another comment?

[1:08:42] Yes.

[1:08:44] Why don't you share it with the committee and I'll follow the second question.

[1:08:48] The cost of fireworks and the drone show.

[1:08:51] Good question.

[1:08:51] I have a question.

[1:08:52] The cost from the fireworks was $30,000 and the cost for the drones is $65,000.

[1:08:58] Okay, so we have $95,000 into this. Who's paying for it?

[1:09:02] Personal recreation and, well, tourism.

[1:09:05] It's the same money.

[1:09:06] Personal site tourism.

[1:09:08] Totally.

[1:09:09] 100%.

[1:09:09] Yes sir.

[1:09:10] I know.

[1:09:11] I know.

[1:09:12] I know.

[1:09:13] They pay their personal fireworks and drones and we pay our portion.

[1:09:18] Okay.

[1:09:18] Well, we had our contract arred.

[1:09:20] I know we paid $30,000 for the fireworks and $65,000 for the drone.

[1:09:25] And then they're adding their additional,

[1:09:27] whatever, 300 drones they got and whatever.

[1:09:30] They have better shows than us that fireworks.

[1:09:33] That they do, because they shoot from the jetty

[1:09:35] and we shoot from that.

[1:09:36] So we used to shoot from the barge, which was much better.

[1:09:39] So we're not saving any money by combining,

[1:09:44] by moving the fireworks and drones show to 102nd Street we're not stating any

[1:09:51] money. We have to get up and move and walk up to a hundred 96.

[1:10:00] 6. But the, but the, the fireworks are going on at 100 seconds.

[1:10:06] So where is everybody supposed to go? Let them share only one conversation or one space.

[1:10:14] So the viewing party is a little six between 95 and 96.

[1:10:21] The viewing is so. Do you have any chair? Who's setting up the chairs there? There isn't any chairs there. Right. But there's never been chairs. Bring them down for for the blanket. I know.

[1:10:33] Yeah.

[1:10:34] We've never had change before.

[1:10:35] Would you like me?

[1:10:36] I know.

[1:10:39] But if you bring your own long share, you could bring your own long share.

[1:10:42] So we're supposed to move from the community center and move up.

[1:10:49] I mean, you could stay behind the community center and watch it from there.

[1:10:53] I know.

[1:10:55] But if you want to get a better view, you would have to walk north.

[1:10:59] And then Bel Harbor, Sylvia asked what she told me to share with the residents that they

[1:11:07] could keep walking north on the Bel Harbor side, on the ocean side, but eventually they'll

[1:11:11] go on into a barricade of barricades where it's Bel Harbor-only residents.

[1:11:16] I think it's out of hundreds of years.

[1:11:18] But that's where they have their activities for their privacy.

[1:11:21] Right.

[1:11:22] Right.

[1:11:23] It just doesn't seem right.

[1:11:24] I didn't mean for the mayor and the commissioners, like you said, you're trying the mayor is trying to work so you can get something done.

[1:11:37] So what was Trump's last name?

[1:11:39] So what was Trump's last name?

[1:11:40] Oh, yes.

[1:11:49] So the residents from surf sliders supposed to get up at seven and move to 96 stream.

[1:11:59] If they'd like, it's not recommended.

[1:12:03] Okay.

[1:12:03] Nobody is forcing any of the residents to go.

[1:12:08] And where does Aharber Islands come into play?

[1:12:13] Aharber Islands is hosting the events of 96th Street.

[1:12:17] And we can be so free to search for them.

[1:12:22] Aharber.

[1:12:24] Aharber is going to participate in them.

[1:12:26] Could they have?

[1:12:27] They have their own activities.

[1:12:28] So the unity is between Aharber and Cersei.

[1:12:40] I think the elected officials from Bell Harbor may come to just get a photo up over here on the stage that they want to do on 96th Street, but I don't think it'll be a big turn off from the red.

[1:12:51] So at 100 in the second street, that's it, Val Harbor is hosting their own private food

[1:13:01] and beverages and seats for Val Harbor residents only.

[1:13:06] I don't know if they'll have seats, but after a certain location, no one but Val Harbor

[1:13:17] residents are allowed.

[1:13:19] Correct.

[1:13:21] And all the fireworks are actually going off in Dallas Harbor at the jetty at the jetty see

[1:13:30] the

[1:13:31] participation so

[1:13:35] how are you communicating this to residents that always come so we I'm going

[1:13:41] off to the communication with the commissioner and mayor we just sent out an updated flyer with the

[1:13:47] actual agenda so they can see what exactly is in detail where everything is going to be.

[1:13:54] Does the community center close at 7 p.m.?

[1:13:59] We are because we have to assist at the 96th Street.

[1:14:04] So will your assistance be at 96th Street?

[1:14:08] We have to traffic control. We have to make sure our residents are over there.

[1:14:12] We have to have lifeguard because the ocean is still open.

[1:14:18] You have lifeguard at 7 o'clock at night?

[1:14:20] The 96th Street partly lost the service time.

[1:14:25] I thought you were talking about the...

[1:14:28] It's just not the big deal.

[1:14:30] Yeah, the big deal.

[1:14:31] Yeah, that's so real.

[1:14:33] Yeah, we closed the port once we closed from seven to...

[1:14:38] No, I'm talking about the whole community center.

[1:14:40] Yes.

[1:14:40] Because usually everything went on till nine.

[1:14:43] So you have to be...

[1:14:45] We're closing the communities in our seven.

[1:14:48] Because some staff have to break down all the activities

[1:14:51] and events that are going on at the community center

[1:14:53] and then at 7 some of the other staff have to go to 96th Street to assist PD and public works and

[1:15:08] Okay. So we need manpower and those areas. I think you really need to stand this out, then, for everybody. It's on the block of the Senate. We're going to close this set. No, I mean, on the flyer that there's, I'm just saying, you really need to sublet out that, you know, what's going on at the community center and then moving on to 96th street in the beach.

[1:15:32] and then fireworks going off at the 102nd Street,

[1:15:36] but we can't be involved with that.

[1:15:40] It's for bad Harvard residents, only.

[1:15:42] I mean, these are questions that we can have.

[1:15:47] Sorry.

[1:15:48] Okay.

[1:15:48] So different than bad Harvard residents

[1:15:49] aren't coming to our events from two to seven.

[1:15:53] They're not.

[1:15:54] Yeah.

[1:15:55] They're not going to do it.

[1:15:56] Yeah, but they never do.

[1:15:58] No, we never.

[1:16:00] There.

[1:16:23] this is the best place to stay is 96 because in the past we could see

[1:16:37] I'm not at the, obviously, you know, this is the way it's going to be.

[1:16:42] I'm just saying, please make it really distinct in whatever fire.

[1:16:50] Because people are coming up to me asking me questions and I wasn't clear about it till right now.

[1:16:57] So that's a just please be real clear about where our residents can go and where things are going on. Thank you.

[1:17:09] But the least chairs, that's not a good suggestion.

[1:17:12] I'm not going to be clear that that's not a good one.

[1:17:17] I'm not so sure about that. I'm going to talk to somebody.

[1:17:20] I think also like for EMT and fire rescue purposes that ocean needs to be open.

[1:17:26] If

[1:17:29] we block it off with chairs, it's going to be difficult for us to commute backward.

[1:17:34] It's not totally blocked off.

[1:17:37] It's never, have you ever been there?

[1:17:40] On 93rd Street?

[1:17:41] No.

[1:17:41] Is that a community center?

[1:17:43] No, to the beach chairs.

[1:17:45] Of course.

[1:17:46] But would you rather have some congestion or no congestion at all?

[1:17:49] This is a problem.

[1:17:51] There's a problem that would be the same as every other day.

[1:17:55] So there should be the increase of the public from everywhere coming to Miami Beach, Surfside,

[1:18:06] Bay Harbor, Bow Harbor, I would say that it would be a slight increase to the amount

[1:18:11] of people that are on the beach, not in the community center, but on the beach that it

[1:18:16] could cause.

[1:18:17] It doesn't take up a lot of space.

[1:18:19] I guess I'm not saying it doesn't take up space, I'm saying I rather have available space

[1:18:23] that put things that are going to make it alternate or not.

[1:18:28] Maybe you could speak to the chief and chief doesn't say that.

[1:18:33] Chief doesn't?

[1:18:34] If I put the research up?

[1:18:36] No, no, no, no.

[1:18:36] I'm just saying for your recommendation of safety equipment and by the rest of you, I'd better

[1:18:42] There's always. Did you want to, did you want to vote on this like I have a motion to discuss the

[1:18:48] issues. We're ready to discuss in the future. So it wouldn't be a motion to discuss it.

[1:18:54] Well, like a motion to bring it. I'm fine with that having to be sure to be honest.

[1:18:59] I'm totally fine with that. I, I'd rather do some more investigation on my own and get some

[1:19:05] tax.

[1:19:10] But you can make it just a discussion like nothing that.

[1:19:20] So I would go with

[1:19:23] within directors. Well, I have I would want to do some investigation. That's all I

[1:19:30] want to get some of that. So that's so are we finished with that discussion.

[1:19:37] and then the next meeting will not be July 20th. One more of the next meeting.

[1:19:48] The next meeting is going to be in August 17th. That's 5.30pm.

[1:20:00] Okay. So, is there a motion to adjourn? Yes. Can I get a motion? Hold this for I say aye. Aye.

[1:20:09] Alright. Alright.

[1:20:10] Can we have a try?

[1:20:12] Can we?

[1:20:12] I can't.
