Miami Lakes subcommittee reviews veterans wall renderings; staff to obtain architect invoice
Summary
The committee reviewed draft renderings for a proposed veterans wall and confirmed a $700 payment to the architect. Staff were asked to obtain an invoice/receipt to document the payment and to prepare a briefing packet to support grant requests to county and state sources.
The Reindeer Run Subcommittee reviewed draft renderings and next steps for a veterans memorial wall to be sited in the town park and confirmed administrative steps to document a $700 payment to the architect.
Subcommittee members said Town staff had received a W-9 from the architect, Julio Brea, but that an invoice or receipt was also required for town records and grant application attachments. Staff committed to obtaining the invoice from the architect and to assembling a briefing packet that includes the renderings, historical context and sponsorship/solicitation materials to support grant requests to county and state legislators.
Committee members discussed a phased approach: finalize renderings and briefing materials to solicit sponsors and then, as funding accrues, proceed to subsequent planning phases. Staff noted that completed renderings and a clear package often improve the prospects of success for legislative and grant funding requests because they provide decision-makers with a concrete visual and a project scope.
