Task force sets committee meetings for third Wednesday at 7 p.m.

The Miami Lakes Youth Advisory Task Force voted to hold its committee meetings on the third Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m., the group decided during its Aug. 21 meeting.

Chair Trevor Rodriguez moved the scheduling change and committee members seconded the motion; the motion passed by voice vote with no opposition recorded in the meeting transcript. Members discussed meeting-day preferences and cited work schedules and the availability of student members as reasons for selecting Wednesday evenings.

Committee members said the change restores a more consistent schedule and will make coordination with council meeting dates and staff availability easier. The group discussed moving some future committee and planning sessions into the Mary Collins Community Center when needed.

Why it matters: a consistent meeting day and time affects member attendance, the ability of students and staff to participate and the committee’s ability to deliver on calendar-dependent items such as seasonal events.
