Jenny, a staff member, presented recommended rental fees for a 2,500-square-foot first-floor senior/event space and a 3,500-square-foot rooftop venue. The board approved a resident four‑hour rental fee of $650 for the senior space and a resident four‑hour rooftop fee of $1,000. Jenny said those figures reflect staffing, cleanup and facility maintenance costs.

Board members compared the proposed fees with existing local spaces. Jenny referenced the Rebecca Sosa facility and current rec-center fees to show the new rates were in a comparable range; the board discussed deposits and cleanup fees as typical practice. The advisory board voted unanimously to approve the resident fee amounts and to set the rooftop nonresident fee for later adjustment after staff gathers local comparisons — Jenny said she would research comparable venues and report back.

The board noted the rooftop could command higher nonresident rates depending on finish and privacy; members suggested $1,800 could be reasonable but agreed to collect formal comparisons before finalizing that number. Staff said the $1,000 and $650 resident fees apply to four‑hour rental blocks and that deposits and cleanup fees would be applied according to standard rental policy.

Jenny, a staff member, reviewed proposed hours: weekdays gym 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.; weekends 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; after‑school program roughly 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.; childcare weekday hours 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. during school time and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on summer weekdays. Board members reiterated that childcare is for patrons using the facility while on premises; parents may not drop children and leave the premises. \"Childcare is for anyone using our facilities at the time. Correct. Not drop them off, go to dinner,\" Jenny said.

Board members discussed multipurpose court hours (pickleball, tennis and basketball), noting that some activities may run long and that summer programming (camp) will block facility time. The board generally supported pickleball hours of roughly 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends (the group agreed to change a draft 8 to 5 to 8 to 4) and discussed a possible earlier weekday start for gym users should staff availability permit. Members also discussed first-come, first-served access for open-play basketball and leaving organized leagues and rentals subject to scheduling and potential fees.

Staff said the rec center will have staffing to open the facility and check people in during gym hours; details on access control and possible key‑fob or stamp systems were raised as implementation options. The board agreed to reconvene on hours and finalize the schedule before forwarding a consolidated item to the commission; no formal vote was taken at the meeting on final hours.","The Recreation Advisory Board discussed and largely agreed on proposed operating hours for the new recreation facility, childcare service limits, and flexible multipurpose (pickleball/tennis/basketball) scheduling; staff will refine hours before the commission packet.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6212832,"Recreation board frames social‑media and recording rules for new gym: permissions required, no recording of others or private areas",272,1485000,1757000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3683300-606dd00fc20315913c19f21954c20066&start=1485&end=1757","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3683300-606dd00fc20315913c19f21954c20066/thumbnail_1485000.jpg","/articles/6212832/Florida/Recreation-board-frames-socialmedia-and-recording-rules-for-new-gym-permissions-required-no-recording-of-others-or-private-areas","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6212832-89b53afaa98e9116a4e1bb5a8f99f53d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771197866&Signature=jHUlvbn4EQzoSCwNmXVoHZvqyvTnuaHTTVx~7TYTZemdcLg4ZP5Vn~Q5c2wZgyGrsL5r8m7sYUNwjr6MHFdOS6M6ERWRG9VburfQP44Bjlov868tOr3CziE-51UnxscnNOv0oKLlWCmeVXDMrBjcN78rbirGMFRYkwqn54WJ1OD7hpJzPZfoJlTZQHRXI1Aefe5kx-texSj0MVcZq3cNXlgnBAxl40b4Vo8A6dIY6xK19UkD3LEM4PmTPXHFUK4Qtnl8tOJPH2cR0yFQXzVU9E03CcPJhj42uzK2tjtedJMdlehSRlG7lGE-7C0yRyusTgiRpdICJIa~aXxWtB7KqQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of West Miami Recreation Advisory Board discussed proposed social‑media and recording rules for the new gym and directed staff to draft a formal policy that protects privacy while allowing benign personal use.

Jenny, a staff member, said the department will draft policies that require people to ask permission before recording others and that prohibit photography or recording in locker rooms, restrooms and other private areas. \"Because we're — we might have kids coming around and we're a government agency, there, I would say to stick with that,\" Jenny said, adding that management could restrict professional production equipment and large tripods without prior authorization.

Board members raised issues including users filming workouts, bystanders accidentally captured in video and use of personal speakers. The board agreed on common-sense guidelines: personal selfies are acceptable if they don't include other people; no photography or recording of children by unrelated parties; no promotional or commercial filming without management permission; and no radios or personal speakers that disturb others.

The board asked staff to include these rules in the facility's policies and procedures and to provide an enforceable authority line in writing for staff to address violations. No formal vote was taken; staff will draft the policy for a future meeting and include guidance on signage and enforcement.

Jenny, a staff member, said current after‑school programming provides homework assistance by recreation staff but not professional tutoring. \"For actual tutoring, I don't know how would be the best way,\" Jenny said, describing two options: contract with a tutoring company that charges families directly, or recruit tutors and integrate fees into the city's registration process. She noted recreation staff would continue to provide homework assistance while any specialized tutoring would likely be a family-paid contractor service.

Board members suggested using the city's existing communication list and an electronic survey (Constant Contact/QR code) to gauge demand and preferred subjects; John Michael and others discussed adding a line item on the annual after‑school registration to capture tutoring interest. The board also discussed logistics such as scheduling specific-subject days (for example, math on Tuesdays) and ensuring a sufficient pool of participants before contracting.

The board agreed to send an electronic survey to residents to measure interest and tabled fee-structure decisions until staff returns with supplier options and demand data. Jenny said staff will gather information on potential providers and report back to the board; no procurement motion or fee vote was taken at the meeting.

Jenny, a staff member presenting procurement comparisons, showed three vendor packages and told the board the recommended vendor, Life Fitness, offered layout assistance, sturdier equipment and a service package staff judged likely to yield better long-term reliability than lower bids. \"Sometimes we go for the lowest bidder in procurement, but this is such an important project that we don't want to just go for the low,\" Jenny said, asking the board to forward the recommendation to the commission.

The board packet compared the strength-training packages: Fit Showroom (brands Hoist and Hudson) at $94,864 (strength package) and $122,008 total with accessories/services; Lift Factor at $61,007.25 (strength) and about $92,002.98 total; and Life Fitness at $76,319.10 (strength) and about $140,626 total. Jenny said Life Fitness' proposal includes layout assistance and that the vendor had indicated flexibility on substitutions so the chosen pieces would fit the space without exceeding the requested $150,000 cap.

Board members asked about warranty, stock availability and maintenance. Jenny said the vendor shared a 10-year warranty on major parts and that some pieces might ship later but the vendor expected to be able to deliver a majority of the equipment in a timely fashion. The board discussed cardio equipment separately and agreed that leasing or separate procurement for cardio machines would be addressed later.

The board voted to approve sending the Life Fitness recommendation to the City Commission; a motion was made, seconded and passed with all members saying \"aye.\" No individual roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript. Staff said it would reach out to the vendor the following day to schedule a site layout meeting and that commission approval would be required before placing orders; staff estimated equipment lead time could be two to two-and-a-half months once ordered.

The Recreation Advisory Board noted this recommendation is a step toward a planned September opening of the new facility; final purchase and installation timing will depend on Commission approval and vendor scheduling.
