The meeting included discussion of shirt vendor pricing, embroidery and possible use of the town vendor; staff and members said they would obtain vendor quotes and a W-9 if using a non-town vendor.

The committee also amended a prior motion to increase gift-card honoraria for event performers to $55.95 to cover processing fees; that amendment passed by voice vote. Separately the committee approved a banner invoice for $9,438 for banners hung in town and recorded that a previously noted donation will offset those costs.

Committee members approved preregistration at $25 (until Sept. 30), early-bird registration at $30 for October and $35 afterward. The committee also approved race categories by age with separate male and female placements and top-three awards in each division.

The committee set Dec. 13 as the run date and directed a subcommittee to begin planning so that any items needing a full committee vote can be brought back in time. Members noted the run requires some up-front expenses and that sponsors and preregistration fees help cover initial costs.

Organizers said the vice mayor and other council members may participate in a fundraising competition. The committee also preserved a policy that remaining unclaimed funds after scholarship awards could roll into park/monument work.","The Miami Lakes Veterans Committee set Dec. 13 as the tentative date for the Reindeer Run, approved race categories and a tiered registration fee schedule.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6212848,"Miami Lakes committee sets tentative Feb. 20 date for veterans golf fundraiser",1728,2248000,3976000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3683255-0b3861fb3e3ea2d82965ee03c6b1b594&start=2248&end=3976","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3683255-0b3861fb3e3ea2d82965ee03c6b1b594/thumbnail_2248000.jpg","/articles/6212848/Miami-Lakes/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Miami-Lakes-committee-sets-tentative-Feb-20-date-for-veterans-golf-fundraiser","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6212848-331ef568fcefb394c4bdef3bfa21569a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771192863&Signature=AQ9ziurUMYsaKvV-8atcW3eu3hih254kSIhzTzP7-CzdXPtb~V6aRpZtS7z2jpWdhsiIHHketlSGI1tL9kZ4OQXOjxu3r2lXXSZyrJ-cmhEi82X9WSMQyKdX8IZAXXCEHLLuFS9W53PIvmG~b4OphIVT9Jkp2~2D6fO3tHyaxUEnnRxGF6zKAHxOcMRjlpMaUCj7PuZq6nHtHejtKstvePKfvmvDMOVT98lupGRgUKS8gox2S7nNx8998SmUvpJQeq2-1MHXsfTsgsHCef5gHRSzMWWtBiVUYlCH8y5hQffKjJneIWHr28c2a8xahRJt-WrhJlwE5YL9rP2dF3jQXg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Miami Lakes Veterans Committee set a tentative date of Feb. 20 for a veterans golf fundraiser and discussed next steps for planning and seed funding.

Committee members said they had already received several five-figure commitments in pledges and discussed logistics including whether the outing should be open to the public or restricted to club members. Members discussed approaching the golf course management and using an experienced event contact — several members mentioned Julio and a Chamber contact who had organized similar events.

The committee approved a motion to set Feb. 20 as a tentative date and directed organizers to scope costs (deposits, tents, food and other logistics) and to seek sponsors. Committee members noted upfront deposits would likely be required and asked the committee to identify a seed amount it would put forward.

Separately the committee approved a motion to request additional town funding as seed money for events; the committee recorded a motion on the table to increase the committee’s budget by $15,000 (noted in the meeting as a request to raise the town allocation to $30,000), and that motion passed.

Committee members said planners Jeremy and Ed Peterman informed the committee they needed the $3,500 to move forward with design and site plans. The committee moved the $3,500 out of the scholarship line and recorded that the amount will be used for monument planning.

Separately, the committee voted to limit individual scholarship awards to a maximum of $2,500 per recipient. Members discussed that awarding a single $2,500 scholarship in a year would allow remaining funds to roll toward monument work or other veteran needs. The committee tasked a subcommittee to finalize scholarship language, eligibility criteria and whether reapplications would be permitted.

The committee also approved a split of proceeds for the upcoming Reindeer Run: 75% to Veterans Park (monument/park projects) and 25% to the American Legion, after the $2,500 scholarship allocation is removed from proceeds.

Committee members said the scholarship application period runs through January and that a subcommittee will review any applications after the cutoff.","The Miami Lakes Veterans Committee reallocated $3,500 from its scholarship fund to advance Veterans Monument plans and voted to cap individual scholarships at $2,500.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_46":116,"_48":117,"_50":118,"_52":119,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":120,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":121,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6212857,"Miami Lakes Veterans Committee requires uniform photos for banner program",196,1158000,1354000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3683255-0b3861fb3e3ea2d82965ee03c6b1b594&start=1158&end=1354","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3683255-0b3861fb3e3ea2d82965ee03c6b1b594/thumbnail_1158000.jpg","/articles/6212857/Miami-Lakes/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Miami-Lakes-Veterans-Committee-requires-uniform-photos-for-banner-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6212857-639d5b37daba39b6612d6bd4007c2fd1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771192863&Signature=Qb4N5JTksBkWXwzrUv-yixUIBVqO4Urd-XPVyf1uhTUkM0Gfa4lp5cBpgI9CH3J50mwYevGn-mHBAk5YMPJt1XYSQPg2j1DwcJD116fhQlEAzi5rfA4ts12j8gGvdItknHvLNrrzpzH5Gdmesj~yp0wSbtJ8mOWfRZs1Yd59CJbQNGEDZcvd3O9ToYTfe-Xcp96goE2p~iZvPsCg~RhyyHVSivYNrZ3bq-JE3rhwCiQrYx1HOjlbGeYwlk8syFs4dvj0J4M4QF2cyO-oqSUXd52ljzUgsT4fKjiaXAIssBZmIHsz~-lxVuhLnHpdkDzydvnM18Jw4eU75LSa1~X3Fg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Miami Lakes Veterans Committee voted to amend its veterans-banner application so submitted photographs must show the veteran in uniform, the committee said at its meeting.

Committee members said the change is intended to standardize banner images and reduce submissions the committee considers inappropriate for a veterans commemoration program.

The committee discussed concerns about photos that depict veterans in civilian or flamboyant attire. One committee member proposed amending the application to require a uniform photo; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

Committee members noted that some veterans may not have a uniform photo available and discussed how to handle those cases, but they adopted the uniform-photo requirement as written. The committee did not record a formal exception process at the meeting.

The change will be applied to future banner requests. Committee staff said they received a donation from Miami Lakes Automall to cover banner costs and that recent banner expenses were invoiced to the town.","The Miami Lakes Veterans Committee voted to amend the veterans-banner application to require submitted photos show the veteran in uniform, the committee said at its meeting.","actionData","errors"]
