The Miami Lakes committee agreed Jan. 7 to add a new "Stats" tab on its webpage to host the pilot‑program PDF and related links, and to send a confirming email to town data staff so the request is implemented as discussed.

Unidentified Speaker (S3) proposed creating a dedicated tab under the existing "Resources" section so users could find the pilot report and related links in one place and avoid the hyperlink glitches that can occur when Power BI exports are converted to JPEGs. "We could have another tab that's called stats," the speaker said, explaining that a small explanatory paragraph would precede the PDF link.

Members discussed limitations of exporting from Power BI; one member said the town's current workflow converts interactive charts to images, which breaks clickable links. Staff noted a phone-optimized Power BI template could solve the issue but likely requires paid services to publish. The committee asked staff to consult IT and confirm whether the town can host a web page with links that remain clickable or whether the PDF approach should be used temporarily.

The group also instructed staff to send a follow‑up email to the town's data/business services (DBS) so the technical request is captured exactly and the committee's expectations are documented. The report will remain unapproved until committee members confirm final text and file versions.

Members emphasized that improving how addresses are bucketed by city — for example, separating true unincorporated Miami‑Dade records from entries that list Hialeah or Miami Lakes — is a higher priority than merely adding additional days of data. Standardized city assignment, they said, will make the published statistics more accurate and more useful once the new tab is live.

The committee set a near‑term schedule for updates: staff will issue an updated report in advance of the next meeting so members can finalize summaries and approve the PDF for publishing.
