Miami Lakes committee approves Father’s Day fishing tournament budget and logistics
Summary
The committee approved a $916 quote for a Father’s Day fishing tournament and accepted a $500 town allocation plus a pledged $500 sponsor contribution; members discussed license requirements, walk‑in registrants and volunteer support.
The Miami Lakes Cultural Affairs Committee voted to approve the budget and logistics for a Father’s Day fishing tournament, accepting a vendor quote and sponsorship arrangements to cover event costs.
Committee members reviewed a vendor quote that totaled $916 for supplies and raffle prizes. The committee noted a $500 town allocation for the event and a pledge from Hertz Law to provide up to $500, leaving the proposed budget covered. A motion to approve the event budget was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.
Members discussed operational details for the tournament: young participants may not require licenses but anglers aged 16–65 do need a fishing license; organizers should note that the event will be catch‑and‑release and that participants are responsible for personal fishing gear. The committee also advised keeping Eventbrite registration open to accommodate walk‑ins and to list bait allocation for the first 30 participants on the registration page.
The committee recorded volunteers and in‑kind donations (cases of water) and agreed to finalize signage, participant forms and hours tracking in advance of the event.
