Committee allocates $500 toward 9/11 memorial event and schedules report for council
Summary
The Public Safety Committee allocated $500 from its budget (EdMat/education line) to support the Sept. 11 memorial event and confirmed scheduling and reporting timelines for council and committee agendas.
The Miami Lakes Public Safety Committee approved a $500 allocation from committee funds to support the town 9/11 memorial event and confirmed the event will be scheduled on the town calendar.
The motion directed that $500 be moved from the committee’s EdMat/education allocation (specific internal budget line discussed in the meeting) to cover memorial event expenses. Members discussed potential costs — including an honorarium for the national-anthem performer and small production costs — and agreed the proposed $500 was sufficient as a baseline commitment.
Committee members noted the memorial will fall on Thursday, Sept. 11, and discussed a start time around 9 a.m. for the town observance. The committee directed staff to list the event on the town website as an official town event and to return a full event cost breakdown at the committee’s August report.
A motion to allocate $500 from the committee’s EdMat budget line to the 9/11 memorial was seconded and approved by voice vote with no roll-call tally recorded.
