The Miami Lakes anniversary planning committee voted that no organization, religious or otherwise, will be given free vendor or tent space for the towns 25th anniversary event.

A nonprofit group (identified in the transcript as Nest Church) requested a free tent space to distribute information. Committee members noted the towns sponsorship ordinance disallows granting free sponsor space and asked staff to confirm the park managers interpretation. Speaker 1 then moved that no group receive free space; the motion was seconded and the transcript records the committee voting "Aye" and the motion carrying.

Committee members clarified that groups may still walk the park and hand out flyers but would not be granted a sponsored booth or tent for free. Staff were directed to follow up with Jeremy (park staff) to confirm whether a discounted or paid sponsorship option could be made available to nonprofits.

The committee asked staff to return with a clear policy and, if necessary, a sponsorship fee schedule so future requests can be handled consistently and in compliance with the ordinance.
