During the December 2018 Council Meeting, the Town moved to approve Councilmember Dieguez' new business item dissolving the Town's Historical Society Committee. In 2008, the Historical Society Committee was established via Resolution 2008-604, to collect and disseminate historical information regarding the Town of Miami Lakes. A review of Town records revealed that the Historical Society Committee has not complied with the Resolution requirements. At this time, the Historical Society is not an active Town Committee, does not have an active membership and is not convening on a regular basis.
During the past few years, the Town's Neighborhood Improvement Committee and others have organized annual events in order to spot light the Town's Historical importance. In effect, the Historical Society Committee's purpose has been fulfilled by the Neighborhood Improvement Committee and others.
Accordingly, it is advisable that the Town's Historical Society Committee be dissolved.
