Miami Lakes committee approves holiday‑safety PSA and authorizes extra $350 invoice
Summary
The Miami Lakes Public Safety Committee approved a short holiday safety video produced for the town, authorized staff to seek departmental logo approval, and voted to pay an additional $350 invoice to the production team. The video will be shared across the town’s social channels.
The Miami Lakes Public Safety Committee voted Dec. 1 to accept a newly produced holiday‑safety public‑service video and authorized payment of an additional $350 production invoice.
Committee members previewed the short PSA, which combines three skits—package safety, residential patrol (“Grinchbusters”) and basic fire‑safety tips—and closes with the town’s 25th‑anniversary graphic. A committee member who reviewed the clip told the group, “I’m very, very happy with the product.” The video will be distributed on the town’s Instagram, YouTube and other social platforms following departmental approvals.
Members discussed whether sheriff and fire department logos should appear on the clip. Staff said the PSA must be reviewed by Major Gonzales and the fire department; the committee moved to have staff determine if the logos can remain and to implement the decision without returning to the committee for another vote.
After accepting the clip, the committee approved an additional invoice of $350 presented by the production team to cover extra work on the three skits. The motion to pay the invoice was made, seconded and adopted by voice vote.
The committee also discussed placements and formats for the messaging, including a lower‑cost story in the local paper and broader social‑media distribution. Members emphasized targeted outreach to gated communities and residential areas after deputies said many vehicle thefts occurred where owners left keys inside cars.
Next steps: staff will confirm logo approvals with departmental leadership, post the PSA on town channels when cleared, and process the additional invoice as authorized by the committee.
