Miami Lakes ad hoc anniversary committee reviewed vendor costs and revenue assumptions, identifying fireworks as the single largest vendor line item and discussing beverage and vendor-service arrangements.

The finance update listed vendor estimates and confirmed items: fireworks $35,000; band $2,000; videographer (event day coverage) $700; petting zoo $1,200; Scottish van $750; and a historical documentary production budgeted at $1,000. The committee said those items do not yet include litter removal and some other incidentals. Sponsors and vendor fees were listed as partially offsetting expenses: Southwest Medical Group ($1,500), Your Better Mortgage ($1,500), The Grand Company ($2,500), Popular Bank ($500) and Commissioner Renee Garcia ($2,500) were recorded in the committees sponsor list.

Committee members debated alcohol-service limits after a vendor asked whether service could include more than beer. Speaker 3 moved a motion "for only beer and wine, no hard liquor." After vendor concerns and committee discussion, Speaker 3 withdrew the motion; the transcript subsequently states "that motion failed." The transcript does not record a formal roll-call tally for that motion. Following the debate, committee members and staff discussed a cash-bar arrangement with vendor-specific limits to be confirmed by the park manager.

Committee members instructed staff to confirm vendor setup times so that band equipment and large dance groups do not interfere with performances. They also instructed staff to follow up on whether a vendor could sell cocktails or be limited to beer and wine, and to report back to the committee.

The committee noted that final costs and a complete expense list will be circulated to members; previously approved town contributions of $25,000 were noted as available for the event and other sponsor income will be used to close the gap between vendors and budgeted revenue.
