Summary
The Town of Miami Lakes Economic Development Committee approved allocations totaling $2,000 from EDC budgets to support the 2026 boot camp — $750 to a marketing consultant, $1,000 for social ads and $250 for day‑of incidentals — and set the event date for Sept. 25. The committee also committed $1,000 from networking funds to host the boot camp happy hour.
The Town of Miami Lakes Economic Development Committee approved funding and a date for its 2026 small‑business boot camp, recording on the meeting minutes allocations to cover marketing and event costs and setting the event for Sept. 25.
On the record, the committee moved to allocate $750 from the seminar budget to the event marketing consultant (Vanessa), $1,000 for social advertising to drive registrations and $250 for day‑of incidentals. The motion was seconded and the chair announced it passed. The meeting transcript records the motion as moved by Romy and seconded by Carlos; the motion was recorded as approved by voice vote.
Committee members also approved a separate allocation of $1,000 from the networking‑events line to Chezels Miami to host the boot camp happy hour. That motion was seconded and also recorded as passed.
A member summarized the seminar allocation proposal on the floor: "$750 towards our marketing consultant, $1,000 towards social ads for boot camp registration and the remaining $250 in the budget towards day‑of event expenses," and members agreed to split ad and consultant costs between the seminar and marketing budget lines to accommodate sponsorships and town contributions.
The committee set an internal calendar for the boot camp planning process: asset and sponsor logo collection is due by June 1, marketing ads will run across July–September and final nominee invitations for the linked 'Best of Miami Lakes' promotion should be issued no later than Aug. 25 to permit a September announcement.
What happens next: the subcommittee will continue planning and meet again on April 15 at 05:30 to confirm speakers, sponsorships and logistics. The allocations were approved on the record but members noted vote counts were recorded by voice rather than by roll call.
