* This item will require a waiver of Section 7.2 of the Special Rules of Order of the Town of Miami Lakes.

Miami Lakes is a blessed and generous community that always helps people in need; thus, I would like us to help out our brothers and sisters in Houston, Texas.

I have received numerous calls from residents asking me how can the Town of Miami Lakes help the victims of Hurricane Harvey. I have received emails from OEM, both local and federal level, recommending not to collect supplies, but rather have people donate money to charities.

Thus, for the aforesaid reasons above, I kindly request that the Town of Miami Lakes collaborates and join efforts with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools in their commitment to aid the children victims of this Hurricane, once they are ready to return to their schools.

Fiscal Impact: TBD
