Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting December 15, 2016 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida and available to all residents as well as their guests, most of who are Sunny Isles Beach residents who live in or around the complex. He recommends that the City designate $10,000 of funds budgeted as a donation for the purpose of financial assistance for these programs. We are always doing things to try to help our seniors as you know, and so our donation will go a long way to directly serve our residents most in need. The funds will be used to purchase and install computers for a computer lab along with instruction classes on their use, expansion of the English Citizenship classes, senior exercise and yoga classes, and expansion of the in-house hot lunch program to offer a daily hot meal to more residents. He noted Monseigneur Wielunski actually lives in Marian Towers, he is a visiting Monseigneur. Public Speakers: None Commissioner Aelion said the purchase of laptops and computers to train them is a very good program, and is a very good effort to ease their learning of the computers.
