At the meeting, a committee member moved that the panel add a monthly agenda item requiring the chair to provide an update on litigation matters that are not discussed in closed session. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The panel also approved adding \"committee member utilization\" and a standing \"committee involvement/discussion report\" as recurring items under old business so members regularly report on outreach and activities.

Committee members emphasized following the panel's rules and Robert's Rules of Order. An attendee urged adherence to existing rules, saying, \"We need to follow the committee rules, regulations, and procedures, and we're not to make our own rules. I also want to make sure we follow the Robert rules of order.\" The panel agreed that the chair should be mindful of applying meeting rules consistently.

Members also agreed to a brief round-robin or update segment in open discussion to allow each member to report on projects, contacts and community outreach when time permits. The panel recorded these items as standard agenda entries going forward and asked staff to include them on future agendas.

The procedural changes were procedural in nature and did not change the panel's formal authorities; they instead set expectations for reporting cadence and meeting conduct.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Blasting Advisory Board Meeting | June 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Volunteer Advisory Panel voted to add recurring items to agendas: a monthly chair update on litigation that is not in closed session, a standing \"committee member utilization\" item, and a committee involvement report under old business; members also emphasized following committee rules and Robert's Rules of Order.","taxTitle","Miami Lakes, Miami-Dade County, Florida","taxId",55516,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6188125,"Miami Lakes advisory panel reallocates $7,500 to boost outreach while retaining travel funds",742,3111000,3853000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5064112-ee5e76fdf3ca73cff00cb81e7b6ddb3b&start=3111&end=3853","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5064112-ee5e76fdf3ca73cff00cb81e7b6ddb3b/thumbnail_3111000.jpg","/articles/6188125/Miami-Lakes/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Miami-Lakes-advisory-panel-reallocates-7500-to-boost-outreach-while-retaining-travel-funds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188125-d022a735aa0a7a4bb7ba3e697335bc61/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437830&Signature=EYNfG4YqRmmqvGlpG75xyRuN-04O-bI5FV~FSYIMSOAP9RR7zz7SuDSjYb2UQ0wcd0RfCNjLwaq9FVpCtXtr64eDyNqSdL0zV74mNAkXE04j4dV7rjy28iD2aW1O~AE3C~jTeIbYXkXw-lUMQcSmm6fhMUPTlK8kwmvWBStrAcaNSY8rtGZtatIhkkCKsH-I07mLWSc30jp2b-Qg3cbaFIX0O-iDH89LxkS342W-tYI1QkX9mbIqY1QZic6pA3rjfI3SSDG4ecgqPpm3i0BlnXsUBe0LBm7mjR7qf~4nksc-~HL2WW7iYrQrfoq5mKN-C7MaPXXJ3lYtMNDmQstT0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Miami Lakes Volunteer Advisory Panel amended its upcoming budget to shift more money toward outreach and promotional materials while retaining funds for travel and emergency expenses.

Panel members voted to set the 2025\u0006ndash;26 allocation at $6,000 for travel and expenses and $1,500 for marketing and promotion, keeping the panel\u0000s total annual cap at $7,500. A motion proposing the allocation was moved and seconded and carried after members indicated their approval by voice.

Members said the adjusted mix of funds will let the panel finance printed collateral, anonymous photo/video collection, small promotional items and targeted event appearances (for example the July 4 town event and a July 9 Chamber luncheon). Panel staff clarified that the town\u0000s financial rules allow shifting funds between the two approved line items but transfers above $700 require council approval.

Panel members recalled previous allocations that split the bucket differently (historically $7,000 travel and $500 marketing). At the meeting members discussed reserving travel funds in case an urgent trip or additional technical briefings become necessary, and they signaled an intent not to exhaust travel funds given uncertainty about litigation-related meetings.

The panel also approved a small, separate allocation of $250 to support a Fourth of July table and printed flyers; Miguel Martinez and another member volunteered to staff the event. Committee staff will circulate a proposed marketing plan and expected line-item expenses to the panel before submission to the town finance office.

The budget reallocation passed without a recorded roll-call tally of individual names in the meeting transcript; members indicated approval by voice.","The Volunteer Advisory Panel approved a 2025-26 budget allocation that keeps the panel's total at $7,500 but shifts spending to $6,000 for travel and $1,500 for marketing and promotion to support community outreach related to ongoing blasting concerns.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6188129,"Residents report home damage as Miami Lakes panel coordinates outreach after months of quarry blasting",4263,677000,4940000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5064112-ee5e76fdf3ca73cff00cb81e7b6ddb3b&start=677&end=4940","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5064112-ee5e76fdf3ca73cff00cb81e7b6ddb3b/thumbnail_677000.jpg","/articles/6188129/Miami-Lakes/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Residents-report-home-damage-as-Miami-Lakes-panel-coordinates-outreach-after-months-of-quarry-blasting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188129-9251c578ba3571b1c6816b50b0db1ae4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437830&Signature=jOOwKybPKSbAXLsXbjLpvr8T~OzXm1J6LkhNhH7-bP4KglS2V3XD9hkEqQgQdi9tEKYBxf~GzBMKTG994tCbvuUOkJn7vh~QhH2xfunNBJscnqqorsrbMl6o7CHSAq9k6rq8y2z31ZH-LcNb8w2hgvDrWmuerq0lJFzMutA4nlFVl084LlZoMKOxtJncev-uXOF2bnyybD6MJTrFXwUf~gnxzRpTD4~DdkbTdRRNj7sjvSBz2ibR7rQZUWJWg0x-x06~F9KsZ7U8gerqVWYVU~HlAuFx2ocGYQTdB7pKCrmzX84h3EW2ZlBOd~ZejjFNhiB77ae9~uyUbk7mF4zMKQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Residents and homeowners told the Miami Lakes Volunteer Advisory Panel that repeated blasting from nearby quarries has damaged houses and disrupted daily life, and the panel moved to expand outreach and data-collection as the town pursues a legal response at the state level.

At a public-comment session, Camille Martinez, a Miami Lakes resident, said her house has sustained interior and floor damage she links to blasting, and asked the panel to send an inspector. \"My floor is in bad shape,\" Martinez said. Another resident, Jose Mateo, described a large exterior crack and said he has delayed repairs while monitoring the town's response to blasting-related damage.

The panel heard a preliminary monitoring summary compiled by a committee member who works with engineers showing monthly blast counts recorded by local seismographs: 88 blasts in February (44 attributed to White Rock), 77 in March (44 White Rock), 95 in April (57 White Rock) and 98 in May (63 White Rock). Panel members said the raw counts will receive further analysis by the monitoring team.

Panel members and residents also discussed the town council\u0000vote at its recent meeting to pursue state-level legal action. A resident, speaking during public comment, summarized an explanation of current state procedure: as described in the meeting, the existing law channels property claims into a mediation process rather than straight lawsuits. The panel made no new legal finding at the meeting itself and did not direct litigation; instead members discussed outreach and evidence collection to support the town and affected homeowners.

Panel members described several next steps: continuing house visits and photo/video documentation, updating public-facing marketing and outreach materials so residents know how to file complaints and be counted, and coordinating with neighboring municipalities and chambers to increase awareness. One committee member told the panel they had visited multiple homes and had posted monitoring results and meeting outcomes on social platforms to increase turnout at recent meetings.

Panel members and residents repeatedly said they wanted better, sustained engagement from nearby municipalities and business groups. The panel discussed presenting at a July 9 chamber event and using town-sponsored events such as the Fourth of July celebration and the farmers\u0000market to distribute material and collect anonymous photos and videos for campaigns.

The panel stopped short of adopting new legal positions at the meeting; instead it prioritized continued documentation of damage, community outreach, and coordination with elected officials and neighboring jurisdictions.

The panel expects to receive a fuller technical analysis of the monitoring data and to circle back with a tactical public-engagement plan at future meetings.","Residents told the Miami Lakes Volunteer Advisory Panel that repeated blasts tied to nearby quarries have damaged homes. Panel members reviewed monitoring totals, discussed outreach and marketing, and urged coordination with other municipalities while the town pursues legal options at the state level.","actionData","errors"]
